Although Jiang Ember has seen dragon meat more than once.

But it was definitely the first time I had seen dragon scales.

What's even more amazing is that he can clearly recognize dragon scales even when he sees them for the first time.

This scale is too special, and it is too domineering.

Outwardly, the shape of the scales resembles crocodile scales, but they are more pointed.

The color of bronze exudes a terrifying murderous aura under the light of the oil lamps on the walls.

If not some ancient beast standing between the food chain.

It's hard to imagine that an ordinary beast could have such domineering scales.

If he saw dragon scales under normal circumstances, Jiang Ember would probably be ecstatic.

After all, such a special part may be used as an ingredient or seasoning.

But if the dragon scales are on the arm of a female knight, then it is obviously not normal.

Kassandra's shoulders turned out to be ...... This is also the "Majin state. colognes".

Looking at the dragon scales that exuded the aura of a fierce beast, Jiang Ember couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Originally, he thought that the female knight's demon state would only affect his spirit.

Unexpectedly, this effect had spread to Kassandra's body.

I have such terrible scales on my body, and I am still a girl.

It doesn't take even a second thought to know what a blow this was for Kassandra.

Afterwards, Jiang Ember carefully examined the dragon scales on her body.

It was found that the special scales covered the shoulders from the upper arms and then spread to the back and chest.

Although the spread area on the chest is not particularly large, it covers a small half of the back.

It felt as if a giant dragon was slowly devouring it.

With a little more delay, she'll be transformed from a human dragon.

In Ginger's original world, dragons were very noble and sacred creatures.

If it can be transformed into a dragon by human, it may be a change that many people dream of.

It's just that in this fantasy world, the image of the dragon is much more evil.

According to the deeds mentioned by Teacher Catherine, the dragons once dominated this land.

Until the Divine War of I don't know how many thousands of years ago, that is, the battle between heaven and earth that led to the emergence of the "Forbidden Land Outside the Realm".

The five dragon kings representing the dragon clan were successively killed or sealed by the Heavenly Realm Holy Spirit, and the dragon clan was declared defeated.

For the long time that followed, they lived either as human pets or as monsters in the wild.

Therefore, if Kassandra turns into a dragon in the truest sense of the word, it will be absolutely devastating for her.

It's even ten times worse than being a sealer.

What to do...... Is there any way to eliminate this demon state?

You can't just wait for her to be devoured by the ancient dragon, right?

Looking at the female knight lying on the bed, Jiang Yan couldn't help but clench his fists.

However, just as Jiang Yan sat on the edge of the bed and lowered his head to think.

Kassandra on the bed woke up in a daze.

I...... I'm ......

When she came to her senses, Kassandra found herself lying on the bed with her clothes untied quite a bit.

But when she saw Jiang Ember sitting on the edge of the bed, she immediately reacted to what had just happened.

Kassandra was silent for a few seconds before she got up from the bed and whispered:

"I'm sorry...... It seems to worry you."

"I don't care, but you're in a ...... situation It doesn't look good."

Jiang Yan pondered the words a little, and then found a euphemism for "not very good".

In fact, Kassandra's condition is not so simple as not being good, it is almost like a terminal illness

State.

But when she heard this, she immediately shook her head and said with a smile:

"It's not as bad as it seems, it's a weird disease, it's just a little scaly on my body, and occasionally it causes me to have a headache or faint."

「...... Really?"

"Of course it's true, or not?"

Seeing that Kassandra still wants to continue to cover up the facts, she avoids her own situation.

Jiang Ember had no choice but to showdown and say, "Don't lie to me, your situation is the same as the two black-robed people I saw not long ago, you have the same demonic disease, right?"

So far, there is no accurate name for this symptom.

Therefore, Jiang Yan, as the first doctor to discover it, gave it an easy-to-understand name called "demonic disease".

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Ember mention the two black-robed people who fought with Lord Ymir not long ago.

Kassandra's face changed at first, then she turned her head and said:

"Even Lord Yemir complimented you on your good eyesight...... It seems to be true."

"So don't lie in front of me, tell me what's going on, and I can find a way to help you."

Jiang Ember's tone was full of concern and sincerity, and it was clear that he was not just pretending.

Instead, she really wanted to help Kassandra get rid of this pain and get her back to normal.

As if sensing that kind of concern, Kassandra also relaxed a little, but still shook her head:

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but this 'demonic disease' is impossible to solve."

"Whether it can be solved or not depends on me after listening to the source of this disease."

「...... Do you really want to hear it?"

"Really, I swear in my grandfather's name."

In Kassandra's hometown, swearing in the name of her family is a very solemn oath.

Seeing that Jiang Ember was already like this, she had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of how she was infected with the "Demonization Disease".

For Kassandra, it was an incident that took place three years ago.

At that time, she was just preparing to become the youngest royal guard knight in a hundred years, and she was full of spirit and ambition.

"It's not that I'm boasting, everyone at the time praised me as a genius, saying that I was the best among my peers."

"And as long as I am promoted to the elite level in the rank assessment that year, I can become the youngest royal guard knight."

"Uh...... I'm really not boasting, it's purely objective."

As if worried about whether Ember would think she was bragging, Kassandra embarrassedly clarified.

It wasn't until Jiang Ember said that she didn't think she was bragging at all that the female knight slowly told the story.

To put it simply, Kassandra was preparing for the rank assessment and officially joining the establishment.

She followed the most famous and powerful "Royal Guard Knights" of Canglong on an investigation mission.

This feeling...... It's like an internship, and I go out with my seniors to see the world.

Originally, for Kassandra, the youngest in the team, this internship should have been a smooth ride, just following the predecessors.

Unbeknownst to him, after the knight team came to the inside of the "White Oak Castle", which was said to have occurred, a terrifying accident happened.

"At that time, we received a report from an informant that someone was arresting homeless people and locking them in the basement doing some strange research."

"So I went with you seniors to the basement of a house on the edge of the city, and as soon as I entered, I was ambushed."

"At that time, I seemed to smell a strange scent, and soon I lost consciousness and woke up and was thrown around the street."

"Strangely, the enemy didn't hurt us, and all nine of us were unscathed...... Or rather, let's take it

unscathed."

"However, that night, when we were discussing how to conduct another investigation in the hotel, one of the female seniors suddenly had her eyes wide open! I grabbed my throat hard!"

Three years have passed, but that scene is often seen in Kassandra's nightmares.

The usually suave female knight tore her throat with her not-so-sharp nails in front of everyone.

But what came out of his throat was not ordinary red blood, but strange black blood.

As the black blood flowed more and more, the female knight's body also underwent a terrible mutation.

"Almost in a dozen seconds, she was transformed into a terrifying monster that is hard to describe in words."

"The monster kept panting, spitting out a fishy breath around it, and there was a fierce light in its eyes."

"Although we don't know what happened, our captain took the lead in picking up his sword and preparing to take down this monster."

"But just as he picked up his weapon and the monster fought together, the captain's body began to look less human."

With Kassandra's gaze, the man's already burly figure unconsciously became more and more burly during the battle.

At the same time, the originally dark skin gradually became congested at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until the epidermis cracks open, revealing large scarlet muscles within, and double horns grow on the top of the head.

Unconsciously, the scene changed from a battle between one person and one monster to a fight between two monsters.

"I was so frightened that I couldn't move, my legs went limp, and I couldn't even think of anything as simple as running away."

"After a while, all eight of my other companions turned into monsters...... The fighting also continued from the hotel to the streets."

"No, or not a battle, but a bloody massacre."

The irrational monster directly overturned the hotel, rushed into the street and slaughtered innocent passers-by.

The members of the Royal Guard Order, who had come with Kassandra, were strong when they were humans.

After turning into a monster, it was even more terrifyingly strong, almost unstoppable, killing the entire White Oak Castle with a river of blood.

"At that time, the garrison in charge of guarding the city also hurried over, but they were no match at all."

"I watched them being torn apart one by one, but there was nothing I could do about it."

"My life has been smooth sailing until then, and I have never felt small and powerless."

"But I don't know how long it will be....... I also felt a heat in my body, as if something was pouring out of my body, and then I quickly lost consciousness as well."

"When I woke up again, I was standing alone in the streets shrouded in blood and moonlight, surrounded by the corpses of those monsters."

"I don't know if they killed each other, or if they were dealt with by some strong man passing by, or if they were ...... Killed by me who had undergone some kind of mutation."

"Anyway, I sat down in the street until the early morning, when another team of the Royal Knights came to my rescue, but from that day on, my life was completely ruined."
