I Became a Cute Little Dragon Princess and Now She’s Obsessed with Me Chapter 18 : Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Greedy Disciple (Part 2)

“I rember… he was so kind of Paladin…”

Erika rested a hand on her chin, her gaze instinctively drifting upward as she began to recall the information she had read about Paladins.

She had looked it up in the historical records before.

The depiction of Paladins in those records was grand, a nearly perfect embodint of legend.

A hundred years ago, the human continent was not unified. It was an era of chaos, full of warlords, conflict, and endless battles and casualties. Nurous non-human species also oppressed and persecuted humanity.

Just when humanity was facing extinction, heroes erged.

Those were the people who possessed “Saint-Rank” power.

At the ti, the term “Saint-Rank” didn’t even exist. Whether mages or knights, both had a bottleneck at their peak.

The power that broke through this bottleneck was what ca to be known as Saint-Rank!

Their sudden appearance was like a nuclear bomb, shaking the world.

In order to save humanity, these Saint-Rank powerhouses unleashed strength beyond imagination, effortlessly sweeping aside all factions of that era.

With absolute might, they brought peace to the continent and rescued humanity from the brink of destruction.

It was a story full of legendary color.

No one knew how true it was—after all, it was a tale from a century ago. Even the historical records were vague.

But one thing was certain: the legacy of Saint-Rank power had been passed down. Humans could break through the bottleneck and raise their strength to unprecedented heights.

And Paladins were the best representation of Saint-Rank power.

So served the Holy Church, worshiping the gods, dedicated to upholding absolute peace.

So served their countries, protecting people, resisting non-human threats—hailed as heroes.

Others wandered the world or ruled over their own territories.

However, in this world, those who had truly reached Saint-Rank were extrely few.

The nas of those confird to have reached it were recorded in the current list of Great Figures.

And that list, worldwide, held no more than six nas!

Dervick Spancer—his na was among them. But for so reason, he had gone from a great figure to a traitor and was now wanted.

“Jie jie jie.”

The laughter rang out again. ladin continued, “I love greedy people, and that one happened to be insatiably greedy, so I granted his desire.”

“What did you give him…”

“Power!”

ladin continued, “Do you know what condition he was in before he ca to ?”

“What kind…”

Erika’s voice was soft. She couldn’t help but feel uneasy speaking with ladin.

“He was on the brink of death, clinging to his last breath.

In short, when that guy ca here, he only had one foot in the grave.

It was I who revived him, gave him power, and made him into soone revered by countless people—jie jie jie…”

“Then… what did he have to give in return?”

She asked curiously.

In Erika’s eyes, this guy didn’t seem like a god at all.

If anything, he seed more like a demon.

Typically, demons would offer power in exchange for a contract—selling one’s soul or the like…

“Of course!”

ladin replied, “To beco my follower is to serve !

And that guy—he’s a failure.”

“What happened to him?”

“I told you—I need to be resurrected. I must escape this place.

I needed him to find the artifact that sealed .

But he failed to complete the task within the ti I gave him.

Clearly, he failed. I decided to remove him from my list of followers.”

At that, Erika instinctively swallowed.

“Then when soone fails… Do you punish them? Like take back the power or… exact revenge?”

“Revenge? No no no. As you can see, I’m in a tomb. A dead god seeking revenge on a living man—it’s not so easy.”

“So he’s just fine?”

“That’s why I say he’s greedier than most—jie jie jie…

I know, he’s been outside waiting for the full moon, hoping to receive power from again.

But soone who’s failed once will not receive a second blessing. He’s an unqualified follower.”

As he spoke, ladin’s shadow drew closer to Erika. The dark red light twisted like a ghostly presence, wrapping around her.

“You… what are you trying to do?”

Startled, Erika instinctively took a step back, watching him warily.

“Well then, little one—how about becoming my devout follower? As long as you have a greedy heart, I can fulfill your desires.”

“You want to… find that artifact for you?”

“Exactly. That is a follower’s duty. I can see it—you have greed within your heart. Co, let fulfill your desire.”

It was a little tempting.

But this guy was just too suspicious.

Still, if ladin wasn’t lying, he had turned Dervick into a Paladin—one of the strongest on the continent. If Erika were granted such power, wouldn’t she beco unstoppable?

As for retrieving the artifact—

Dervick hadn’t completed the task either, and yet he was fine, wasn’t he?

So even if she failed, wouldn’t she also be okay?

“Jie jie jie, greedy little one, don’t get any ideas like that.”

He seed to have read Erika’s thoughts. His voice sneered, “Even though I’m trapped here, I can still wait for another follower besides you.

If you dare to trick , I can easily grant the next one even greater power to hunt you down. That’s a trivial thing for .

He did have a point…

Erika blinked. If this guy could turn soone near death into one of the continent’s strongest, he could definitely wait for the next follower and empower them for revenge.

“Then… where is the artifact?” Erika asked cautiously.

“I don’t know its location, nor its appearance or na. But if you beco my follower, when you get close to it, I’ll guide you.”

“Seriously? So you don’t know anything? And you call yourself all-powerful? Liar. No wonder Dervick failed.”

“Little one, understand this—there are many gods in this world, not just . And many would love to be my enemy.

If you doubt my power, I can show you right now.”

With that, ladin began inspecting Erika.

“Let see who you really are…

Hmm… a dragon?

No… you should be human…

Wait, that doesn’t seem right either…”

Hearing his muttering, Erika began to think this guy was unreliable.

She gave him a glance, then openly revealed her dragon tail.

“I’m a dragon, obviously. You call yourself a god? Ridiculous!”

“No… you have a dragon’s power, but you’re not completely a dragon.”

ladin’s tone grew serious. “Let look further…”

……

……

The scene fell silent.

Erika swished her little tail, looking a bit speechless.

She smirked, hands on her hips, raising an eyebrow. “So? What did you find?”

“Who… are you…”

A heavy voice ca from ladin. The once carefree red figure now looked grave.

Because even he—couldn’t discern what Erika truly was.

“Little one…

From what I can tell… your existence… doesn’t seem to belong to this world…”

“Thunk.”

At those words, Erika’s heart skipped a beat. Her previously relaxed expression changed.

Of course she didn’t belong in this world—because she was a great transmigrator!
