FWOOSH!
Zick's hair fluttered as the wind hit his face, His face was emotionless as he looked in front of him. A city appeared at the end of the horizon, it was covered by a fort from all the sides to guard against any monster's attack.
The sun shined brightly which illuminated the seivet city. Zick was able to see the city clearly with his eyes, this surprised him again.
'...my senses have really been enhanced to unbelievable level after eating the dragon lord's heart'
The seivet city was very far from where Zick flew, being able see it so clearly without even using mana to enhance his view was an incredible fact.
Zick could feel the mana nerves in his body change little by little, they changed their positions to fit Zick's body better. When he tried to use his mana it worked a lot swifter and smoother than before.
"Move towards the right"
Crerrrrgh....
Zick ordered the wyvern releasing some of his dragon fear, there was a dense forest at the right of where they were.
Zick could feel the power of the dragon fear increase as his blood got turned to that of dragons slowly. Slowly it was affecting his body as well, it made his skin tougher and his nails started turning black.
There were no other changes in his body yet.
SWISH! BAM!
The wyvern landed in the gaps between the trees, dust rose as he landed. Zick got down from the wyvern leaving the eggs above it.
"Protect the eggs and wait here for me."
Zick ordered the wyvern with an emotionless voice. He started heading toward the seivet city releasing some of his dragon fear. No monster approached him, feeling the dragon fear . Instead they started running to the opposite side.
Coming out of the forest, Zick suppressed his dragon fear. He moved towards the city trying to control his power but still sometimes the ground would crack or just directly cave in forming a crater. After running at the same speed for a few seconds he was able to get used to it.
Within two minutes, Zick was able to reach the city which was a few kilometres away from him. Walking to the tracks leading to the city, he started walking normally towards it.
The people and the merchant waiting to enter the city looked at Zick with a frown.
Though Zick looked unbelievably handsome but right now he was covered in dust all over. Some gasped seeing Zick pass through them and heading towards the fort. Looking at his current attire anyone would take him for a low rank adventure or mercenary. But a person like that was directly walking past them and going towards the fort.
The soldier guarding the fort also squinted his eyes looking at Zick.
Reaching in front of the guard, Zick passed the crest over to the guard.
"Wait a second please"
The guard entered the fort with a doubting expression but when he returned he looked at Zick respectfully and talked with a voice filled with respect.
"Please this way sir"
Zick walked into the city still maintaining an emotionless expression.
"What the...."
"He was actually given permission to enter...?"
Zick could hear the voices of the merchant but tried to ignore them as much as he could.
A bustling street appeared in front of Zick, there were many carriages filling up the place moving around.
Zick was able to move through the street without gathering attention like before. Now that he is able to suppress his mana within the body a lot of problems plaguing him were solved, This made him feel light hearted.
'hmm...'
Something caught Zick's attention, a woman wearing a white robe with an emblem drawn in, was walking in front of him.
'What is a Demihuman doing here...?'
The women had orange hairs reaching till above her shoulders but surprisingly there were two cat ears protruding out of her head and a tail would extend out of the corner of her white robe randomly. She looked to be 18 year old.
She didn't hide her Demihuman status in the slightest, walking in the street proudly. The people on the streets would look at her with a frown but she ignored it all.
"Sniff-sniff, sniff-sniff"
The cat girl started sniffing around the air with her eyes closed as if searching for something. Slowly she turned around and opened her big eyes wide looking straight at Zick.
"Nya~''
Tilting her head, She walked towards Zick with a curious look ignoring the gazes of the people around her.
Standing right in front of Zick who looked at her emotionlessly but still there was some curiosity in his eyes.
Bending towards Zick's chest she started sniffing again with her eyes closed.
Zick stepped back one step to make a little distance between.
" Sniff-sniff, as I thought, you were the one giving out this weird scent, nya~"
"...what weird scent?"
Zick asked warily.
'Can she smell the blood of a dragon in me....?'
"I don't know myself, nya~. This is the first time I have sniffed something like this but I am sure that it's different from human smell, nya~''
The cat girl kept tilting her head in confusion.
But Zick relaxed after hearing her answer.
'It doesn't seem like she has ever met a dragon before...'
" Oh sorry for the late introduction, my name is serlece, nya~''
Serlece introduced herself, sticking her tongue out and catching her head with her right hand. She wore a white suit matching her robe.
".....so what are you doing in this city?"
Zick asked with a curious tone, he has been thinking of a reason as to why a demihuman would come in this city.
"ahh, you know, some people are selling demihuman like us here as slaves, we came to punish them, nya~"
Though Serlece said this brightly, the anger in her voice did not go unnoticed by Zick and the word 'we' made it apparent that there were more of them.
"Miss anelete was also angered hearing about demihuman being made into slave so she sent us here"
'what....? Anelete....'
Zick was surprised hearing that name internally, he knew about her in the novel.
"Hey! serlece! what are you doing ? let get going already"
A giant wolf-man reaching 2 metres called serlece with a smile on his face.
'A pure blood demihuman'
Zick's eyes widened looking at the wolf-man who walked towards him.
The wolf-man had two sharp tusk coming out of his wolf face. He has green eyes, a muscular build and is covered with short brown body fur. His chest was covered in a dark-brown mane. He wore black toeless pants, he was topless exposing his body. There was an armband with the same emblem as the one drawn in Serlece robe.
Unlike Serlece who looked like a human leaving her ears and tail, the wolf-man didn't look like a human at all.
"bye-bye then, nya~''
Waving her hand, Serlece headed towards the wolf-man with a smile on her face.
Zick eyes didn't leave the wolf-man as they walked in the street talking to each other.
'He is strong.....'
Zick was able to feel the difference in strength between him and the wolf-man. The wolf-man would have defeated him with ease, his strength reached to the master swordsman level.
Zick continued walking with a deadpan look, thinking about what he just heard from Serlece.
Slavery of any human or demihuman are strictly forbidden in the first continent, there is only one place you would find something like slave, that is a black market.
Zick didn't know anything about this incident as this was something that happened before even the novel began.
'Well, I should try not getting involved with them'
