“Welcome to the end of your lives, adventurers. I am the great Callel. I have died and was resurrected.”

“You?”

“Ah, you are that weak little village girl that ran before the dragon showed up. Hah. I died, but I will destroy you and then hunt down your village and burn it.”

“Hm... You got one thing wrong. I didn’t run before the dragon showed up.”

“What do you mean?”

I shifted, causing my party to cower against the wall as I smiled at Callel.

“Hello, my first kill.”

“Ah, so you are the dragon? Ha! I shall control you and take my revenge for that.”

“Oh, and what are you planning?”

“Just think, that much power in that small body... You could destroy entire nations from the inside!”

…

“What?”

“You are probably the first bad guy I fought that isn’t a pervert.”

“You look like a kid in your catkin form.”

“Yep, that’s why I was so concerned with how many bad guys flirted with me or made inappropriate jokes.”

“Some people are just scoundrels.”

“I know, right? Like I know it’s a 19-year-old body, but I still look like a 10-year-old why flirt.”

“I hear ya...”

For a moment we had solidarity.

“I’m still gonna kill you again.”

“If you can.”

…

The party was simply confused.

“Are they enemies?”

“I think so.”

“They threatened each other.”

“Did he say Callel? Isn't that Dallel’s evil brother who was eaten by a dragon?”

“I think it is.”

“Didn’t she say he was her first kill? Does that mean she ate him?”

“He looks surprisingly uneaten.”

Me and Callel just looked at each other and then them.

“They’re looking at us.”

“Are they going to eat us?”

“Idiot, Callel is too small, besides he’s an undead elf.”

“Maybe he’s a cannibalistic undead elf.”

“Gulp maybe!”

We stared.

“They’re idiots.”

“Yep, and I was told to keep them alive.”

“That’s irritating.”

“Yep, they got so scared when they learned I was a dragon.”

“Really? That’s stupid.”

“I know right?”

“Well, now that the pleasantries are over. I’ll destroy you here and now. DIVINE-”

“Tastes about as bad as last time.”

I picked at my teeth with my claw, pulling out his femur.

“Seriously don’t know how that guy counted as a legendary.”

I shifted back into a catkin and walked into the next room.

“Woah, so much money!”

Then they looked at me. What they were about to ask was obvious.

“I’m sure you're going to be kicked from the guild after your pathetic attempt, so take as much as you can carry, I’ll hold the rest.”

They cheered and used item bags. They, altogether, got roughly half of the gold, so I used dragon form and ate the rest before shifting back to a catkin.

“Why'd you eat it?”

“I can access and separate things, I can use it as a bag.”

“Ah. So, theoretically...”

“No, any meat would get digested almost instantly.”

They flinched.

“Ah.”

“Let’s head back.”

And with that, we left the cave.

“We’ve returned.”

“Good to see ya.’ All you are alive I see.”

“Yes.”

“Rose, you don’t look too happy.”

“They hid almost the entire dungeon run.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Find anything interesting?”

“A bunch of gold.”

“Nice!”

“Any tough enemies?”

“We had to fight the wizard Callel.”

Monty started bragging.

“Wasn’t he eaten by a dragon.”

“Oh, he became a lich and I had to kill him.”

“Ah, how much did they contribute.”

“Well, they talked about nonsense, so me and Callel had a nice chat about the surprising amount of weirdos I fight.”

“Ah, and what happened after that.”

“I killed him before he could use his first spell.”

“Ah...”

The quartet looked at me with a betrayed expression.

“Hey, we asked you to give us credit.”

“And I said I’d give you the credit you deserve.”

They drooped before leaving.

“Mammon, could I talk with you, in your office?”

“Sure, come with me.”

We walked into the office, and he turned at me.

“So, what do you want to tell me.”

“The 4 know.”

“They do? Why?”

“2 Whilders attacked us and I had to shift to handle them, I made a contract that they wouldn’t share it though.”

“Good, is that all?”

“No, one of the Whilders was too big for me to handle, so someone helped.”

“Who?”

“An S rank adventurer. He originally was coming for me until he learnt I could talk. Then we worked together to kill the Whilder.”

“I see, what was his name.”

“Asura.”

“Hm, heck of a friend you made.”

“He was strong.”

“Indeed, he’s the number 1 adventurer in strength, and you said you both struggled with the beast?”

“Yes, the Whilders are already known to have evolved, but there were 2 mythics there.”

“Mythics?”

“Yes, and I have a feeling that they are only getting started.”

“You don’t think...”

“I do.”
