I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With

253 – Rayleigh’s Right Eye

Riley always covered her right eye with her bangs.

Bangs that look like they will be fine even in a typhoon.

No matter what happened, she stayed where she was.

At first she didn’t pay much attention to this.

Because I just thought of it as the character’s personality.

Like Leylin’s sharp shark teeth,

Like narrow eyes like Seirin,

I thought it was just a feature to differentiate her from other characters.

That’s right, the last time I clashed with Sofia, her bangs she were still intact. The right eye her was never revealed

‘Her hair is not made of wire…’

I didn’t think much of it until then.

Because he was a dragon, not a human in the first place.

Even further, I thought this concept suited Rayleigh well.

That’s because the concept of covering one eye with an eye patch or having one eye is usually a symbol of villains or charismatic characters.

In fact, thanks to these external characteristics, I was able to better understand Rayleigh’s haughty yet cold personality.

Of course, this was my thought until I looked directly into Rayleigh’s right eye

ㅡSarreuk… !

When my past self brushes away Rayleigh’s bangs, her tightly hidden right eye is revealed very easily.

ㅡWiggle… ! Wiggle… !

Rayleigh’s left eye was clearly closed,

The right side her her her, hidden by her her bangs her her her, was different.

On the other hand, it was bulging to the point of being grotesque.

That right eye is looking intently at me.

‘Now, wait a minute… ‘? This is really Rayleigh’s right eye… ?!’

Actually, if it had been this much, I wouldn’t have been that surprised. There was another reason why I was surprised.

‘Are your eye colors black? What is this… ?’

It was literally.

Rayleigh’s right eye is black.

As if it were painted over with ink.

Even during this time, Rayleigh’s eyes glowed golden. Sharp, vertical lenses like the eyes of a reptile.

Inside, a brilliant golden light was sparkling.

ㅡOh soso… !

I can feel an eerie energy momentarily in those eyes.

An ominous feeling running down my spine.

I get goosebumps even when I’m experiencing goosebumps.

It was an unpleasant feeling that I felt instinctively.

“Hey man? Why aren’t you saying anything? Suddenly he made a scary expression… ?”

Riley’s voice is heard as she closes her eyes and waits for a kiss. She opened her left eye again and looked at me.

As if she doesn’t know anything.

That’s right…

ㅡSussssseu… !

The black eyes that were clearly visible just a moment ago disappeared like an illusion. As if the hologram in the status window suddenly disappears.

‘Wait, what just happened?’

And then, like a lie, the same normal-shaped eye as the left one is revealed. Rayleigh’s impressive orange eyes.

However, the only thing that was unusual was that a magic circle-like pattern was engraved on the eyelids, like a tattoo.

There were small letters written there.

It was a letter that was impossible to decipher.

Letters that look like earthworms crawling.

Considering I couldn’t read, it didn’t seem like it was an ancient saying.

“Huh? Ah, uncle… ? I finally saw it. This mark.”

“Mark… ?”

“Yeah, I didn’t want to show it to the end if possible… “It’s still ugly, isn’t it?”

Rayleigh mutters softly, as if she resigned.

It felt like I was seeing something I wasn’t supposed to see,

It was a much calmer reaction than expected.

ㅡSarreuk… !

Rayleigh brushed her mark her her with a calm expression and let down her bangs again. As if it was no big deal.

“Actually, this… “It was given to me by my father when I was born.”

“Hmm? “You’re passing it on?”

“I don’t know what to say… Should I say it’s like a blessing talisman passed down from generation to generation in our clan? I don’t know the details yet, but they say that with this you can become stronger than any other warrior. It’s really funny, isn’t it? What difference does it make if you engrave a mark like this? …”

Rayleigh continues his explanation her calmly.

The voice contained only shame

But strangely, there was no mention of black eyes.

As if you don’t know anything about such things in the first place.

ㅡsssssut… !

At that moment, noise appears and the scene changes.

‘What? Is this the end of this memory? Anyway, what was that mark I just saw, and above all, the black eyes?’

It seemed like a very important setting,

It’s frustrating that it goes on like this.

This is definitely related to the breeder abandoning Rayleigh—

“Shit-! I can’t believe I’ve finally noticed this simple thing… !!!”

It was a time when I was muttering to myself while thinking over this rather shocking scene.

ㅡWow!

The next scene continues with a shout.

This time, a noise was heard along with a scream.

The voice of that voice was none other than mine.

“Damn it!!! Why didn’t I notice it all this time… ?! I never thought of something like this… I was so foolish. I believed it was an old friend’s clan…”

My voice is full of lamentations.

Looking at the background, it is the bedroom I first saw.

But the room is in chaos.

Flower pots and tea cups were broken and their fragments were scattered here and there.

This is probably what I did.

I don’t know why, but it’s probably out of anger.

Why on earth am I so angry?

ㅡPalak… !

Then, the gaze moves from the floor to the top, and several sheets of paper come into view.

‘This is a miniature sketch of a portrait, right?’

There were several portraits of older men painted there.

「The clan of lightning, the 1st matriarch」

There was a small annotation like this attached to the bottom of the portrait.

Each portrait goes from the first head of the family to the head of the family who is believed to have led the clan until recently.

There was one thing in common here.

Everyone is covering their eyes with their bangs.

Also, the right eye like Rayleigh.

The only difference was that they all had the appearance of middle-aged men.

“How foolish I am… Is this something that has been designed for tens of thousands of years? You don’t have the decency to look at these guys who even gave away dragon hearts like this, right? I didn’t leave alone to do this…”

After that, a bitter monologue follows.

It was a tone of regret and self-deprecation.

A voice that seems to have given up on everything.

“I thought everything would be resolved with just one Rayleigh… I shouldn’t have tried to solve it in my own way, on my own. This is really a mistake… No, you guessed the wrong dragon’s tail…”

ㅡAhahahaha… !

The breeder, who had been muttering for a while, bursts into laughter.

It was a sound of laughter mixed with self-mockery and futility.

“… If I want to go back on my pledge with them, I have no choice but to get busy now. “It’s a waste of time I’ve wasted so far, but I can’t help it.”

– Jump!

After finishing his monologue, the breeder stands up.

There was a moment of mental wandering,

Soon I reset my direction and woke up.

Mental recovery was quite fast.

ㅡTap, knock… !

Then suddenly his feet move towards the mirror.

Are you trying to tidy up your clothes before taking action?

“Hehe, I guess I don’t need this anymore.”

A middle-aged breeder is reflected in the mirror.

The bushy beard and wrinkles are noticeable.

But this was only for a short time.

ㅡToo patter… !

A breeder removing the mask and beard from his face with both hands.

“… There is no need to hide your identity anymore.”

Then my current face is revealed.

A young face in his mid-20s.

I don’t know the exact reason, but he was wearing makeup.

I think it was probably to hide the side effects of losing the power of Dragon Heart.

ㅡsssssut… !

At this time, the scene suddenly changes quickly again.

‘How long will this flash of light continue? No… ? ‘Maybe this is just an ordinary dream?’

ㅡsssssut… !!!

The moment I thought to myself like that, memories from the past played back before my eyes at extremely fast speed.

The appearance of a breeder leaving the mansion of the Lightning Clan at night.

Afterwards, he travels to the southern region.

And he finally arrived in the southern region.

There was even a scene where a strange sect was found there and they suddenly attacked during the service.

‘This memory could not be… ?’

The memories after this were scenes that I had already seen thanks to Schnelia’s resuscitation ability.

Maybe that’s why it passes even faster.

As if it only roughly confirms the chronological order.

Judging from how quickly the memories are passing by, it seems like the dark days are slowly coming to an end.

It was long and long.

But what happens to me now?

I was just with Derke?

Has your soul really been ripped out? … ?

ㅡShuhuaah… !

When all my memories reached the latest level, my consciousness was sucked into a black tunnel again.

A perpetual alien space filled with darkness.

It feels like I’ve been sucked into a black hole.

A place where no sense is felt.

It is literally a space of nothingness.

It was a time when I really thought this was the afterlife.

「… “My old friend, the breeder.”

‘───?!’

An old man’s voice rings in my head.

This was also a voice that was not unfamiliar.

After all, he said I was an old friend.

“Why are you here already? Could it be that we forgot our pledge?”

“Didn’t you promise back then that you would personally raise our descendants and properly seal the demon dragon?”

“In addition to me, Sotero, other close friends are also keeping an eye on your activities. So, go back quickly and comfortably your other half first.”

Are you suddenly trying to comfort my other half? What does this mean?

“I’m glad I resonated with at least half of the Dragon Heart… Anyway, please go back quickly, breeder. “This is not the place for you yet.”

A voice identifying itself as Sotero tells me to go back.

With those words, he disappears from my consciousness. There was no sound anymore.

And it wasn’t long before…

ㅡ Hwaa ah … !!!

A light more dazzling than Sophia’s halo was suddenly upon me.

ㅡWiggle, blink… !

Then, surprisingly, the eyelids move.

“Ah… ?”

As if I woke up from a deep sleep.

But it was definitely not a dream.

Because I vividly remembered the events that had happened so far.

‘Really, what just happened?’

Anyway, I was just about to open my eyes and look around the dark night room.

-Thump, thud… !

ㅡDrop drip… !

Hot liquid pouring down my cheeks.

‘… What? Are these really tears?’

Those weren’t my tears.

Dripping at my bedside! Hot tears falling.

Judging from the feeling of presence above me, it was clear that someone was looking down at me and shedding tears.
