Chapter 333: The Fallen World of the Spirit (4)
After speaking, the specter fell silent, bitterness clouding its gaze. The dragon shifted its attention from the specter to Taesan.
"[You must be one chosen by the will of the gods to descend here. Take this.]"
From the dragon’s claw, a pure white aura drifted toward Taesan.
"[You have been acknowledged by the guardian dragon as a protector of this world.]"
"[Then, even if it’s a false world, I hope you manage to save it.]"
With those words, the dragon retreated into the depths of the ravine.
As the dragon disappeared, Taesan asked, "So, will you do nothing?"
"[I am a protector of this world, here to guard against external threats,]" the dragon replied somberly. "[In other words, unless it’s an invasion by beings like the Void Entity, I am unable to intervene.]"
The dragon's voice held a touch of sorrow as it disappeared further into the ravine.
"[It’s a tragic irony, isn't it? To know of the world’s demise but to be helpless to stop it—that is my duty.]"
