Chapter 22 21. Out Of Control.
?"I personally prefer you turn down the offer." I said while glaring at him from the corner of my eyes.
This Dragon has no actual battle experience nor any training for battle, almost like someone just.....
"You..... How old are you?"
"KUH, 200 HUMAN YEARS OLD."
"Did you already have your slumber?"
"HOW? UGH, NO." The Dragon spoke in shocked tone.
A Dragon's slumber lasts at least 10 human years before it reaches adulthood, but to not even have basic combat sense. Just because it's not an adult yet we can't underestimate a Dragon's prowess, but this Dragon in front of me is far too weak.
He is still a child if compared to those who have already went through their slumber, the stronger the Dragon the longer the slumber lasts. 'The Slumber' brings many changes in their martial body, combat and magic sense, so Dragons train more while in early years to become stronger while in their adulthood.
A Dragon's time sense is 10 times slower than human years so they live many years, after thousand years they are know as an 'ELDER DRAGON.' Though thousand years is not much for magical beings it is indeed high for humans.
Human in this world can live up to 200 years while still known as 'lesser' magical beings. The situation now should have never occurred in the first place, where a Dragon would lose to a human so one sided.
I know about Dragons because of Frostine, we had talked to each other, I told her about humans while she told he about Dragons, Frostine was a 3000 year old Dragon herself.
"Haa..... " I couldn't help but sigh.
'I had high hopes to fight a Dragon again.'
I held his neck and threw him towards Vinny and Jiwoo, this Dragon has greatly disappointed me and I don't even know when I would get to fight a stronger Dragon again.
"If you try anything funny, I'll double the amount of pain I had planned before, so think twice before you act."
"..."
I walked towards Vinny and Jiwoo who were clearly bewildered by the situation as they stared at me with their mouth was wide open.
'Che, I thought I would feel refreshed if I fought with everything I had, and I hoped a dragon would be a great opponent.'
I clicked my tongue and approached the dragon who was lying on ground, I glanced at Vinny.
"Vinny. Do you want to confirm before or after."
"Huh?" Vinny asked perplexed by the situation.
"... What're you talking about?" Jiwoo asked as he glanced at Vinny.
"I mean, If you want to ask anything you can ask him, because I too have questions about a certain someone."
"..."
Before his regression Vinny and his wife were killed by a Black Dragon in a dungeon, he came to this dungeon so he could ask some questions about that Black Dragon.
"Do.." Vinny spoke.
"What's your name, pup?" I interrupted and asked the Golden Dragon before Vinny speak.
"... MY NAME IS NHIFR..."
"Don't take so much pride in your name..... At least in this situation." I glanced at the dragon who was on the floor as I interrupted him, I didn't understand if he was fuming in anger or embarrassment but he was trembling.
"... I AM NHIFROGR."
"Now, it's a bit easier to call you, you can continue Vinny, Sorry, for interrupting."
"No, it's nothing." Vinny shook his head as he stood up.
"..." Jiwoo sat cross legged with a dazed expression.
"Um...Nhigorfr." Vinny spoke.
"Pfft." I held back my laughter.
"IT'S NHIFROGR." He said while fuming in anger.
"Ah, yes, Nihifrog." Vinny tried to correct himself while making it worse.
"Pfft." I closed my mouth with my hand as I tried to hold back my laughter.
"NHIFROGR." He said while glaring at Vinny.
"Yes, yes, Nihi, Nhi, Nihifrogr." Vinny tried to correct himself again while making it harder for me to hold back from laughing.
"Pfft." Jiwoo laughed as he also closed his mouth trying to hold back his laughter. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
"Pfft, hahahahaha." I held I my stomach and laughed out loud as I couldn't hold back.
ROOOOAAAAARRRRRR

"What?"
Nhifrogr roared while releasing his 'DRAGON FEAR' and opened his mouth wide, mana surrounding trembled as he concentrated mana in his mouth for a breath attack which was aimed at Vinny.
I kicked his mouth close, but some of the mana concentrated in his mouth was launched like a bullet before I could even react to his attack, Vinny was launched back from the slight release of mana, if Jiwoo was the one getting attacked he would have died instantly from the slightest mana bullet.
"KUH." Nhifrogr groaned.
Nhifrogr jumped a bit because I kicked his mouth, he jumped exactly coming in range of my hands, I noticed it, took advantage of the small jump and punched his face with full force.
'Perfect shot.' I felt my blow connect to Nhifrogr's face perfectly.
BAM
Nhifrogr flew out of the door like broken kite, he bounced like a ball before he flopped on the ground without showing any moment. I glanced at Nhifrogr who had flopped on the ground and glanced back at the new system notification.
[SYSTEM INFLUENCE INCREASED BY 1]
"What is happening?"
'This not something I wrote in the novel.'
"Jiwoo!"
"...Huh? Yea?" Jiwoo who was in daze, snapped out of it and answered me.
"Did you get a notification saying, 'system influence increased by 1.' ?"
"Yea..... But, what does it mean?" Jiwoo answered while in daze by the situation.
"You Vinny?"
"Ukh, .... Can't you ask if I'm okay, first?" Vinny got back up and asked while groaning in pain.
"Not now, if we don't know what is going on then,... It'll be too late."
"Yea, I got the notification too." Vinny understood the situation and answered.

"Did you get new notifications?"
"Yea, what's this about the time?" Vinny asked perplexed by the situation.
"What is going on?" Jiwoo asked in panic.
"F**k, what is going on?"
Something is going on which is out of the novel, I thought we could have advantage on the future, but now it's f**ked, system influence, gears and machines something about this is giving me ominous feeling.
"This is getting out of control."
'Something is going on, but what? Wait... People who know the future 4?'
