Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 14 - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

The owner of a huge pair of yellow eyes peered into the distance . The owner’s huge body rested on a brown boulder . Its blue scales appeared to be a part of the boulder below . The owner had their long tail behind them . The owner irritably smacked the ground with the tip of their tail, kicking up dirt and dust that had been collected there for millenniums .

That was forever the state of the place during the day . There was virtually never a day where there wasn’t sand and dirt . The sand floated in the air as a result of the wind picking it up, thereby shrouding the sky . The sunlight couldn’t pierce the curtain of sand there . Only the sunset rays that carried the shadow of the specks of sand lit up that part of the world .

Everything here looked yellow . Yellow boulders, yellow tumbleweed, yellow lizards and yellow sawtooth wolves . The huge yellow gerbils that relied on tumbleweed and rocks to live… Actually, they weren’t yellow . It would be more correct to say they appeared yellow according a woman, who was once part of a race that had a highly advanced civilisation . Although their civilisation had become the sand and dust covering the place, she was still proud of her race and past .

Perhaps that it was the nature of animals to be proud of their race . After all, a stubborn fire-red fox behaved the same way . Let’s put the fox aside for now, though . Somebody was still being pampered and doted on by their mother in every way possible, so let’s check out the huge blue beast first .

The huge beast peered in a particular direction with its eyes similar to a snake’s . She was at the highest location there . Nothing above ground level was safe there due to the strong winds . The sand the wind blew over only piled up higher and higher owing to the boulder she was on .

The end of the yellow desert was visible from there .   A vague boundary line existed at the end of the place . There was nothing in between . On the other side was green grass and dense forests . The fragrance of the forest and the pure mana on the other side, which was where the yellow eyes were fixated on, was completely different to the desolate place . That place with green grass and dense forests was the elven lands .

There was only one possible reason for there to be barren land in the elven lands, and that was the land no longer had mana protecting it . Mana was the source of all life . Land without mana lost its green colour, which was the sign of life, and elves wouldn’t be able to survive .

There was a reason her home was destroyed . The lack of mana caused one consequence, which led to another consequence . Being arrogant, their race refused to share the elven spring water with the elves, as they had their own way of producing mana .

Their land had life thanks to their existence . They should’ve lived there properly, but their innate battle-hungry nature and their murderous urges still flowed in their blood . They couldn’t attack the elves, for they had signed an agreement with them . As a consequence, they targeted their own kind despite their population being extremely small to begin with .

The war was very intense, but it didn’t last for long . They weren’t elves or humans . They didn’t have many participants in the war . When the last male dragon fell into the pool of blood, the females felt despair and a sense of danger for the first time .

Dragons were also animals; animals have desires . The female dragons, who had lustful feelings every month, realised that there were no more male dragons around them . They, therefore, fell into panic . With no male dragons remaining, they had no way of reproducing . However, the scariest thing for a mother dragon was that they didn’t have a partner to satisfy their cravings every month .

In the end, a male dragon was born . The male dragon was, hence, hailed as the future of the entire race . The entire race provided him with the best care they could offer . All of the dragons revolved around him, and all of them were eager for him to grow up . It was no different to them nurturing a seed, as they waited for the day he grew up .

Loneliness and lust caused the male dragon’s mother agony every month . It virtually drove her insane . The day finally came where she couldn’t control herself; consequently, she did the deed with her young son . However, he couldn’t sustain his mother’s mana requirements . After that happened, all of the female dragons lost it . They ripped his mother to shreds and competed for the last hope of their race . The frequency of being raped and the pain of losing his mother led to him dying in front of them in less than a day .

That’s right . Her younger brother and the final ray of hope for the entire race, died right before her eyes . The tiny flame was completely put out . The female dragons, subsequentlys, fell into utter despair . Some used their mana to transform into elves, to enter the forests where the elves resided to seek bliss and find themselves a husband .

Another group, whom were haughty female dragons, weren’t willing to go near the elves . They belittled the lineage of elves, citing superiority and the elves lacking a lineage as prestigious as their own . However, the esteemed female dragons, who adopted that thought pattern, were unable to bear with the monthly torment, however . To satisfy their cravings, they infiltrated the elven lands on their own accord . They kidnapped male elves to satisfy themselves . It was commonplace for several dragons to surround an unfortunate elf . The elves were akin to a shared commodity . They were taken out when needed, and then discarded once they were done with them . The harsh living conditions made it very difficult for the elves to survive a single week . The dragons, therefore, kidnapped male elves again, and then again, subsequently enraging the elves . In turn, another grandeur dragon hunt began . In less than a hundred years, the second to last dragon died right before her eyes, leaving her as the sole survivor .

The entire race’s civilisation was wiped off the planet . As a subsequence, the mana from the land vanished altogether . She gradually witnessed the destruction of the home she once knew . The end result was this land of sand where there wasn’t even a place that she could reminiscence .  In her earlier years, she didn’t understand why their race went extinct . After she matured, she finally began to experience the irritable feeling . Alas, there wasn’t even a second dragon in existence, let alone a male dragon .

She gazed in the direction of the elven lands feeling annoyed . She could see two elves sitting down, holding hands in the forest . The female elf leaned on her lover . She seemed to be in more bliss than possible . The frustration and lust intensified within her as she watched the couple . She slowly rubbed her body against the boulder, but it was meaningless . She was plagued with the same challenge countless of her own kin once faced .

The female dragoon pondered, “Should I abandon my identity as a dragon and join elven society? Thanks to my dragon lineage, my mana would naturally reign supreme among the elves . I could easily join the upper echelon of elven society, enjoy the elven lifestyle and even have a husband who loves me . Moreover, I wouldn’t have to bear with the monthly torment . All I have to do is forsake my identity as a dragon and live as an elf from now on, forever leaving my dragon identity behind .

I’d feel very blissful, but I can’t accept it . I don’t hate my dragon identity . I don’t hate my body, my scales, my claws or my wings . I’m proud of my dragon body . I am a creature that stands shoulder to shoulder with God . How can I forsake my lineage I am most proud of for such things? No way am I doing that . I can’t do something so lowly . No way . This feeling is really distressing, though . I must think of a solution . What other methods are there besides transforming into an elf?”

That method would be to wait for a male elf to come . The male elf separated from the female elf and brought a team to her place . She didn’t know who reinforced the boundary magic, but the mana was too powerful for her to penetrate through the field . The barrier was essentially unshakeable . However, the elf was on his way in .

She lied back down . Her blue scales slowly turned into a dim yellow identical to her environment . It was as if she and the boulder combined with each other . She stayed still .

The guard looked at Inard, who was walking in front, cheerfully humming a tune . In a concerned voice, he asked, “Your Highness, your wife has a child now . That was not such a good idea, was it? Her Highness has not done anything wrong . Is it not unfair for you to treat her this way?”

Inard looked at the guard with a happy smile . He replied in a serious tone: “What are you saying, Zelle? I never did anything to Vyvyan that I need to be sorry about . Don’t go speaking nonsense and sowing discord in my family . I didn’t promise the cute girl anything . I was just playing around with her . We didn’t kiss, nor did we get together . How did I betray Vyvyan? Vyvyan is my most beloved wife and sister . Our son, Troy, is so cute, too . How could I possibly betray them?”

The guard didn’t know what to say . It was obvious from the girl’s expression that she had fallen in love . He never expected the girl to be played upon finding her first love . Inard was right, though . He didn’t give her any promise or confess . He was just very flirtatious… There was no solid evidence to file a complaint…

The guard thought, “This guy is still a scumbag . I hope Troy won’t become a philanderer like he is in the future . But I’m used to it . I’m not sure if Queen Vyvyan cares or not, but she doesn’t seem to . In that case, I shouldn’t stick my nose into it when I’m just a guard . Further, Inard never made any promise . He just made the atmosphere really amorous . ”

“All right . This is the place . Split up into two teams . One team stays outside, while the other team follows me in . The team outside is to support us and prepare to pass on messages . Ecthe, you lead the group outside . Zelle and the others are to come with me . Wrap your cloaks around yourself tightly, because the sand and dust in here is fierce,” Inard commanded .

Inard wrapped his cloak around him, and put his hat on . He tightened up the strings on his cloak that sat around the chest area . Their team split into two teams . Inard looked at the sand wildly dancing before him . His gaze contained the tension he felt and his excitement . He kicked his horse’s belly and entered .

Her long tail hung rested on the ground . She was the spider in her web, located in the centre of the sand and dust . The totally unprepared elves waltzed right into her hunting grounds . All of her muscles contracted, but a hunter couldn’t be rash . She had to wait . She had to wait for them to come in far enough that they had no means of retreating . The time to strike was when they arrived at her side…

The boulder stayed stilled in the sandstorm . However, it was shaking ever so slightly . It wasn’t shaking due to the strong winds, but mostly due to the excitement of the hunter . As aforementioned, she had been holding it in for too long .

“That man acted abusive in front of me . Therefore, I shall make it so that he can only satisfy me in the future,” the dragon decided .

The truth was that there was no such thing as secrets in front of Vyvyan . She was fully aware of Inard thought . Though her jealousy wasn’t anyhow weaker compared to other elves, the target for her jealousy had changed long ago . She couldn’t care less if Inard had an illegitimate child with another woman, but if Troy gave a maid a smile or asked her to hold him… Troy would never see the maid again…
