Trash of the Count's Family

Kendall could not properly understand his current situation.

“Ugh!”

His mouth let out a grunt after being smashed by a fist and the strength behind the fist was so strong that his head felt as if it was shaking.

Dizziness, nausea, pain… Kendall was overwhelmed by all these feelings and his eyes could not believe what was happening.

‘…What is this?

What is this current situation?

Is something like this even possible?’

The ten gods beneath the Dragon Lord…

Even though his position was the lowest of the ten gods, Kendall had been one of them, living as the God of Victory.

He always believed that his victory was an obvious conclusion.

‘I am a Dragon chosen by the Dragon Lord.’

Once he finished his first growth phase and received the attribute of Victory…

The Dragon Lord came to see him.

‘Your attribute is Victory?’

He had smiled after figuring out the contents of his attribute.

‘That is a good attribute. No, it is very amazing. The surrounding environment follows your command to help you achieve victory?’

The Dragon Lord had extended his hand toward Kendall.

‘Come with me. You have the qualifications to become a god. I will make sure you always have victory.’

After that, Kendall lived a life befitting his attribute of Victory.

Any battlefield he showed up on resulted in victory and the world was on his side.

That was why he was certain.

‘I will be the next Dragon Lord.’

Once the current Dragon Lord becomes a god, one of the ten Dragon gods should become the next generation's Dragon Lord.

Kendall believed that he would surpass the other Dragons, who thought he was just a cute little Dragon as the youngest of the group and did not see him as competition, to rise to that position.

The world always went as he wanted.

And unlike the other Dragon gods, he always achieved victory.

‘So why did someone like me end up like this?’

He forgot about the pain and slowly turned his head.

He could see a crazy Dragon smiling while looking at him.

Just looking at him made Kendall sure that this bastard had not achieved complete awakening as a result of not consuming the Holy Water, the foundation of this world.

It only made sense for this guy to break.

From head to toe…

Almost every part of his body was injured.

Looking past the fact that his whole body was covered in blood, his right thigh must not have been able to stop all of the mana explosions as there was a large burn with a portion of his flesh completely burnt.

His side must have been slashed by a sharp gust of wind as there was a deep wound. It looked as if it was not a single attack but multiple attacks slashing away at the same spot.

‘Shouldn’t that be enough to make him kneel?

Shouldn't he admit defeat?’

Kendall could not understand the Dragon in front of him.

But then, suddenly, the God of Fighting… He thought about one of the top five Dragons of the 10 Dragon gods.

She was slightly older than Kendall.

She would be the youngest if Kendall was not there.

‘Hey. You won't do.’

Why did he suddenly think of that comment?

“Why is this son of a bitch completely out of it?”

Rasheel chuckled after seeing Kendall completely out of it after a single punch.

Kendall slowly asked Rasheel a question.

“…Doesn't it hurt……?”

Rasheel just ignored him.

“The fuck? Why are you saying some obvious shit?”

He then punched him again.

Pow!

Rasheel's fist struck Kendall's head again.

“Ugh!”

The moment Kendall staggered, Rasheel let go of his collar and extended his not injured left leg.

His leg kicked Kendall in the abdomen.

“Ugh!”

It was such a strong kick that Kendall's body started to fly back.

But Rasheel did not let that happen.

Kendall’s attacks would resume if they became distant again.

“Annoying son of a bitch.”

Rasheel instantly approached Kendall again and moved his hands and feet nonstop.

Pow, pow!

“Ugh!”

Kendall twisted his body and moved to block those attacks, but…

“Wow, what is up with this pushover?”

Rasheel laughed as he pummeled Kendall even faster without stopping.

“Kahaha!”

He laughed out loud as he did that.

It could not be helped.

Rasheel was feeling more refreshed and his condition was getting better the more he pummeled this annoying bastard.

Of course, his injuries opened up more and the pain became worse, but…

Rasheel didn’t care.

It was going to hurt anyway, so he might as well hurt while pummeling this shitty Dragon bastard.

Bang, baaaaang!

At some point, the sounds coming out of Rasheel's punches became like explosions.

“Oh.”

Archie was amazed.

Part of it was because he was amazed at how Rasheel was beating Kendall up without taking a break, but there was also another reason.

“The mana is going back.”

Bang, bang!

Mana was starting to become infused into Rasheel's fists.

However, Rasheel himself did not seem to be realizing this.

He was just beating Kendall up without thinking.

Archie looked around. The silver stadium was becoming faint.

“Cough, ugh!”

Kendall could not think straight.

He barely raised both arms to cover his face.

Bang! Baaaaang!

However, he couldn't help but scream in pain as Rasheel's fists punched his arms.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

His arms were either cracked or broken.

Kendall's instincts were telling him that was the case, but he could not do anything about it.

Rasheel was pummeling him nonstop.

Rasheel kept punching and kicking Kendall, almost as if he forgot he needed to breathe, in order to make sure Kendall couldn't breathe properly.

“Kahahaha!”

He was laughing as if he was extremely entertained as he did that.

Baaaaang! Bang!

Kendall ended up shouting.

His face was swollen and his mouth was bleeding so he couldn’t speak properly, but… He had no choice but to blurt out his feelings.

"Why, why?! Why are you leaving me?!”

The mana, as well as the other existences that had been on his side, were leaving him.

The pieces that should have been moving for his victory were no longer moving for him.

That was what Kendall couldn’t believe even more than the fact that he was being beaten up by Rasheel.

“Ugh!”

Rasheel’s leg kicked Kendall's leg at that moment.

Kendall staggered and Rasheel used that opening to kick Kendall's back with his left leg.

His mana-infused leg struck Kendall's back, and…

Baaaaang!

“Ugggh!”

Kendall feebly fell to the ground.

Baaaaang!

The moment Kendall's body slammed into the ground with such impact that the whole area around him sank, Rasheel kicked Kendall's back again.

Kendall groaned in pain before shouting in anger again.

“Ahhhhhhhh- why?! Why?!”

‘Why is the ground not protecting me?!

Why is the ground that should be embracing me giving me pain?!’

Kendall's mental pain was even greater than his physical pain.

“Keke.”

Rasheel strongly pushed down against Kendall's body.

“Ugh!”

Kendall couldn’t even think about moving.

Rasheel's foot that had mana infused in it felt as heavy as a large mountain.

He could not breathe.

Kendall heard Rasheel's voice at that moment.

“You, you don’t even know how to run away, do you?”

‘…What?’

As someone who had only experienced victory, Kendall didn’t know how to answer Rasheel's obvious question.

A victor like him never had a reason to run away.

He had a weird feeling.

He felt as if he should not say that right now.

“Huff, huff. As someone who has only experienced victory, I had no reas, on to run a, way?”

It was hard to breathe but he barely managed to lift his head from the ground to say that.

“You-”

Rasheel clutched Kendall’s silver hair and pulled.

“Ugh.”

Kendall’s face was forced up. Rasheel spoke extremely lightheartedly while looking at Kendall's messed up face.

“You’ve only gone around to fights you can win.”

“……?”

Kendall's eyes looked chaotic.

He didn't seem to understand Rasheel properly.

The corners of Rasheel’s lips twisted up.

Rasheel wondered if he should ignore Kendall’s chaotic gaze, but…

‘It’s not like I'm a Dragon with a good personality.

If anything I'm a Dragon with a terrible personality.’

Rasheel knew himself very well.

That was why he moved in a way that would make him happy.

“You’ve never even tried to fight opponents you felt like you could not defeat, have you?”

Kendall looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be asking what was wrong about that.

‘As expected.’

Rasheel smiled as he spoke.

He lowered his head and whispered to Kendall.

“You only had victory or giving up.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“!”

Kendall’s pupils started shaking intensely.

His eyes filled with chaos.

Rasheel smiled while looking at him.

‘Honestly speaking, giving up is not bad.’

Why should you fight an opponent you could not defeat?

Rasheel didn't want to suffer for no reason. Why was he being nagged on by ancient Dragon Eruhaben? It was because that old man could not be defeated even with his Indomitability attribute. That was why he was listening to that old dude.

That was a form of giving up as well.

Rasheel didn't think badly of giving up or running away. There were times in life you needed to do that.

However, he wanted to leave a stigma for this shitty Dragon bastard.

To be more specific-

‘I know it is cruel, but,’

He wanted to make it so that Kendall could not use his attribute properly.

‘Well, he’s the enemy anyway.

I didn't like the shit the Aipotu Dragons were doing.’

Rasheel thought it was great and opened his mouth.

He spoke lightheartedly to Kendall, who could not see him, with an indifferent look on his face.

“The mana has come back to me.”

Rasheel now realized that mana had returned to his side.

“I guess there is nothing on your side now?”

He whispered.

"Because you are a loser. You are defeated.”

Defeat.

That word made Kendall feel as if his heart was sinking.

"And you are a coward who doesn’t fight against enemies you cannot defeat.”

Boom. Boom.

Kendall's heart beat wildly.

He started sweating bullets for some odd reason.

He had no idea why he was reacting like this.

However, his face turned pale as soon as he heard what Rasheel said next.

“You already know it as well. You know that you lost.”

‘I know it?’

Kendall wanted to say no but he could not do so.

His mouth would not open.

I will win.

He could not say those words.

The Dragon that walked past mana and a storm and through the ground that was shaking as if an earthquake was happening one step at a time…

That Dragon’s gaze had been firm despite being covered in blood.

It was Dragon who had no thoughts about losing.

No, victory was not in his eyes.

Only Kendall.

He simply moved forward with Kendall as his target.

Kendall felt as if all blood was leaving his body when he was caught by the collar.

His heart sank down.

Kendall finally realized what that was.

Fear.

It was an emotion Kendall had never felt until now.

Rasheel's whisper echoed in his ears.

“What you have gotten until now were not victories. They were just child's play. Child’s play. You just played where you knew you would win. Something like that is not a competition.”

Kendall recalled what the Dragon God of Fighting had said.

‘I have no thoughts of fighting you. Because you don’t know what a true fight is.’

Why was he suddenly thinking about those words?

"Victory… Are you really a victor?”

Rasheel said the last thing.

“I'm sure you already know the answer to this question.”

The enemy did not say anything.

Rasheel did not hear a single word from Kendall but he smiled.

Kendall's eyes were blankly looking up into the air.

‘This bastard will question it every time he uses his attribute now.’

Victory.

Kendall will now feel hesitation and fear about his attribute.

“…….”

Rasheel did one last thing to the blankly staring Kendall without any hesitation.

Thud.

Kendall fainted.

Rasheel walked off the fainted Kendall's body and looked at himself. Archie walked up next to him at that moment.

“How cruel. He seemed completely out of it.”

Rasheel frowned at Archie’s casual comment.

“Then should you be magnanimous to your enemy?”

Archie shrugged his shoulders.

Rasheel looked away as Archie looked annoying and nonchalantly looked at the unconscious Kendall.

He then mumbled.

“…That’s odd.”

This Dragon…

He seemed to be somewhat advanced in age. ‘How has he only been victorious throughout his life?

Is that even possible?

Or did someone make that happen?’

Rasheel quickly stopped thinking about it.

As the person who stabbed a dagger into Kendall's mind, Rasheel should not be saying this, but…

“He will become even sturdier if he can overcome it and if he crumbles, then he crumbles.”

Giving any more attention to a bastard who treated Rasheel and the rest of his group as toys and tried to kill them was a waste of time.

Archie blinked and asked Rasheel.

“Overcome what?’

“Hey, Whale! Did you decide to completely speak informally to me now?”

“Ahem.”

Rasheel clicked his tongue at Archie who looked away and started walking.

Archie shouted from behind him.

“Hey, aren’t you going to take this Dragon?”

“You take him!”

Rasheel dumped the unconscious Kendall to Archie and headed down the mountain.

Blood was still dripping from his body and his injuries were still there, but Rasheel didn't care.

He then flinched.

Paaaat-!

It was a teleportation spell.

This bright light was announcing that someone was teleporting over.

Step, step.

“You, you didn't run away?”

Clopeh Sekka was walking up to the top of the mountain with a gentle smile on his face.

Once the bright light disappeared and someone showed up…

Rasheel shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a cocky tone.

“Ah, you didn’t have to come. I took care of it.”

He could see Cale and Raon.

Rasheel's eyes soon opened wide.

“R, Rasheel!”

He then became flustered.

"Who made you like this?! Why are you completely beaten up?! You are usually a Dragon who would do the pummeling, not the opposite!”

Raon sounded teary as he fiercely approached Rasheel.

“Rasheel! Don’t get hurt! You can’t get sick either!”

Rasheel became flustered after seeing Raon looking so concerned.

Raon was the first seven years old he had faced, so he had no idea how he should respond.

Rasheel was stuttering for a bit before addressing Cale instead.

“Ah. I didn't kill the Dragon. I knocked him unconscious. Did I do well?”

“Haaaa.”

Cale, whom Rasheel expected would compliment him, sighed.

“Huh?”

He could not understand why Cale was like this.

Raon suddenly shouted at that moment.

“Rasheel, apple pies, no, these are for our human! You can have a walnut pie!”

A walnut pie was stuffed into the confused Rasheel’s mouth.
