Chapter 61.3
No one on the continent knew this magic. Not even among the dragons was there an established name for it like “that magic” or “that spell.” It was a human who gave a name to the magic. This human had a deep friendship with a dragon and was a man later called Sage among humans. The Sage was taught the secret by one of the dragons, who called it “Newt.” However, they never told them what kind of magic Newt was.
Therefore, no one knew about it.
“Haa… Haa…” Eye, who used Newt, entered the cave through the back door and went straight back to her nest. Then, trembling in a corner of the cave, she prayed that the green human would go away through the snowy mountains. If you were to say she was bad at fleeing, you would be right, but there were no one good at fleeing. It was the first time Eye had escaped from something. “Eeek…”
Then, Eye saw the green human arrive shortly after and panicked. He found her quickly and brandished his sword at her. I’m done for, she thought.
“…A woman?”
But the green human stopped. Newt had worked! That’s what Eye thought and, with all her heart, she uttered some words of humans that she didn’t know very well.
“He-Help… Help me. Please, don’t kill me.” Those were the words she had heard the most in the past two years. She understood the meaning of them, of course. She hadn’t practiced them, but they came out of her mouth easily. This must be the power of Newt.
“She’s a survivor from the extermination squad!”
Newt transformed her own body into that of another races. It was a perfect physical transformation that even made reproduction possible. In ancient times, when dragons were on the brink of extinction, this secret technique was developed to ensure the survival of the race. Nowadays, it was the magic of the defeated, used by dragons who were about to be defeated by other races to evoke sympathy by assuming the same form when pleading for their lives.
