Did I succeed?
Roddy turned around. In his field of vision, Ice Dragon's wings were drooping on both sides of his body. There was still a look of shock on Roddy's face, as if he still could not believe that he would die in the hands of a nobody.
* Boom … *
His body, which weighed tens of tons, fell to the ground. Roddy squinted his eyes amidst the rising smoke and dust. His slightly trembling fists finally loosened.
After a few seconds, the soldiers who were stiff due to the 'Dragon Power' finally regained their mobility. Sodelor covered his wounds and stood up. Natha gritted her teeth and pulled out the arrow in her abdomen. Before she could speak, 'Intermediate Healing' fell on her body. Akasha then walked out from the back of the stone house. While healing the soldiers who had been hit by the arcane spell, she turned her head and looked at Roddy who was still standing in the same place.
A few seconds later, she looked down at her chest in confusion. She reached out to pull her robe and suddenly found an extremely exquisite rune on her chest … Not only her, but Sodelor, Natha, and all the soldiers who participated in the battle also found similar runes on different parts of their bodies.
"What … is this?"
Just as they were puzzled, only Roddy understood what these runes represented … The 'Battle Log' showed that they were 'Dragon's Curse', which was also known as the 'Dragon Slayer's Mark' on the continent!
Opening the [Status Bar], Roddy saw that there was also a 'permanent' buff on him.
[Dragon Slayer's Mark]
Effect: All attributes increased by 30%
Effect: Increases all resistance by 100 points
Effect: Immune to most spirit type magic.
Obtained 'Dragon's Taunt': Appears when the dragon appears within 10 kilometers. Those who have the mark will be accurately targeted by the dragon.
"This mark will be cast on all targets within a kilometer when the dragon dies, and will reduce the reputation of all Dragons by 3000 points."
Such a powerful buff was already comparable to an Epic grade scroll of the Holy Assembly. It could be said to be "heaven-defying" from any perspective — but power always came with a "price." The cruelty of the "Dragon's Curse" was that the person with the "Mark of the Dragon Slayer" would have to face the pursuit of other dragons!
The scariest thing was that Roddy saw a line of explanation written in gold below.
[Dragon Slayer's Mark can be stacked: Every time stacked, attributes increase by 20%, all resistance increased by 100 points, spirit magic immunity increased, Giant Dragon's Taunt effective range increased by 10 times.]
This line of annotations immediately made Roddy understand what "balance" meant. When two marks were superimposed, Dragons within 100 kilometers could directly lock onto him and come to him. If there were three marks, that would be 1,000 kilometers!
Roddy immediately realized a problem: if the shadowy dragon not far away died from its injuries, everyone present would have two Dragon Slayer's Marks stacked on them.
Thinking of this, Roddy immediately prepared to rush towards the collapsed city wall in the distance. But when he looked up, he was slightly stunned. There was no sign of the Shadow Dragon at the foot of the distant city wall.

At this time, Merinsera had completely lost the ability to move.
She was bitten by the neck and thrown away by Vesam. After smashing through the city wall, she was buried under the rubble. She gritted her teeth and used the last bit of her strength to release the "Transformation Spell". She finally transformed into the appearance of the black-robed man and escaped.
But this was only the last thing she could do. Not long after walking out of the ruins of the city wall, Merinsera finally fell to the ground due to her heavy injuries.
Behind her came the muffled sound of Vesam's body falling to the ground, but Merinsera's consciousness gradually blurred. She couldn't think of what had happened at all — all that was left in her mind was the tragic scenes of the "massacre" of the Shadow Dragons …
The chief's father was killed, and all the brothers and sisters she knew were also "executed" one by one. Even the dragon eggs were completely destroyed …
All of this was because the Shadow Dragons had unintentionally violated a "taboo".
Why? Why?!
With the anger in her heart, Merinsera began her revenge — but the Shadow Dragons were outnumbered. After running for several years, she was finally ambushed by Vesam six months ago.
After escaping with her life, Merinsera came to the Forest of Silence, hoping to use the crystals left behind by the High Elves to kill her opponent. But she didn't expect so many accidents to happen.
As one of the few remaining members of the Shadow Dragons, Merinsera's heart was filled with reluctance and helplessness. She needed revenge, she needed to recover her strength, and she needed the Shadow Dragons to continue to reproduce … But now, all of this seemed to be an impossible wish.
Looking at the sky in a daze, Merinsera slowly closed her eyes. Her consciousness suddenly left her body. She felt the Dragon God's Soul slowly embracing her. But then, this Shadow Dragon felt her body being supported by a force and sat up.
Under the black hood, the veil covering her cheeks was violently pulled away. Her soft, pale cheeks were pinched. Merinsera felt her lips suddenly touch cold glass, and then a bottle of liquid was forced into her mouth …
"Cough, cough, cough …"
The weak Shadow Dragon coughed. Her consciousness, which was almost dead, had already drifted away. But now, because of this stimulation, it gathered again. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids. Under the dazzling sunlight, the face in her vision seemed somewhat familiar …
The scattered memories gradually regrouped. Scenes flashed through Merinsera's mind. In the potion laboratory ruins, her "Phantom Double" was grabbed by the arm by the other party and ran wildly …
This guy is dead. I must not meet him again!
A minute ago, he fought with that human Magician until the last moment …
He should be the brave one among the humans, right?
And when Vesam turned around and spat out dragon breath, this guy stood in front of her with a dagger in his hand …
In the end, he still couldn't avoid such an ending.
When these scenes were put together, Merinsera frowned slightly. Could it be that she was already dead, so she saw the other party's soul?
But then, the Shadow Dragon saw Roddy's face clearly, and saw the strange and bright white halo in his left eye clearly.
"This is … the Mark of the Dragon Slayer?!"
Roddy didn't understand Merinsera's dragon language. He didn't notice the halo in his left eye because he was completely shocked …
Roddy didn't expect that the Shadow Dragon he had decided to save would have the appearance of a High Elf!
And it was … a female.
The transformed Merinsera had a head of long, purplish-black hair. Her extremely short dragon horns were like two playful hair accessories. Her hair was slightly messy on her forehead, and her facial features were more perfect than a sculpture without a single flaw. Words like "pretty", "beautiful" or "exquisite" did not appear in Roddy's mind at all …
The only word he could think of was "Goddess".
This wasn't a "Goddess" who was on par with "Miss", "Mr. Perfect" and so on in his previous world. She was a "God" who looked down on all beings from above.
But these thoughts soon became meaningless because he saw the Shadow Dragon raise her hand with a cold expression and point her fingertip at him!
