威廉見狀後，大吃一驚。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh5lPtY0Um
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VsNe3oZIx
——為什麼？594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxmnlFPKk9
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf92HeN9Qw
事實上，這不只是因為威廉看到妹妹的身上出現奇怪鱗片的關係，所以他才擺出吃驚模樣。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQKYRvtd5
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X3twjuu9q
「為什麼我手上的鱗片會……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5icPd1D0qU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15vAyOexbL
慢慢消失呢？這五個字，威廉沒機會說出口。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg3yLN8u60
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSvNBL943Y
這是因為，在威廉要說出口的那一瞬間，頭部就遭到重擊。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C9VwIhTOu
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNurmoLDmEF
「幹什麼東西？」一名士兵說話了。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x2mUpJYva
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKLKXteuUa
「……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQVILZKpl
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XTX371LdS
威廉一直到左臉頰貼地的這一刻，才回過神，察覺自己大概是被士兵打了。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxdPcoss77
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYCnDT50Xi
然後，現在威廉感覺右臉頰被踩。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfAEVZmMcD
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOMMM28Bk6
「你站起來啦，哈？想幹麻？再拍你那翅膀嚇人嗎？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmV4njVjeM
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJwP5ybqz5
「可、可惡……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xy2GdOwKr
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWlvKj82E
「哈？說什麼東西？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDgzDnpoPg
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJksyVFz3h
——難道我就要這樣死了嗎？594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PqHVQDbMr
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7UW1ObTxx
趴在地上、宛如一頭被強迫馴化的生物，威廉已經看不見母親了，然而這並不是因為其他兩名士兵已經享用完畢，也不是因為威廉現在的視線角度看不到母親。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfDfKwUPzU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4FAPCFKQ4
威廉心想——就跟媽媽一樣，要被這些人……594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5KGcmHTm3
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2dfcgOuO8
而是因為威廉流眼淚的關係，視線模糊到看不清楚眼前的景況。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzEXeYrMAK
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGAI5oUMxE
士兵抬起腳，準備用力再往下踩的瞬間，威廉緊閉雙眼。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZzi1gCBKu
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRv4lfAkCN
就在此刻——594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybNSSnDEvN
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTWuiT3Fct
「怎、怎麼回事？喔……喔啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm1VyoMtGY
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eojS5gycS
那名想要再踩威廉臉頰的士兵，突然間跌倒。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KcXfYdAa1
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLYuzvt22x
威廉見狀後，先是皺眉，畢竟不曉得發生了什麼，但他感覺到自己身後有一股熱能，於是轉頭查看，然後瞪大雙眼。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyUcw5ig7M
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1M7PR7TZS
威廉看見了！他看見妹妹全身發出紅光，而這紅光內部，好像有一顆光球，位於妹妹的心臟附近，接下來該光球散出一束光芒，打向那名跌倒的士兵。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsNcIQptvG
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHGrtrr3r1
「不！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaPxkFy1BS
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTy3oTho01
威廉看見光束打向那名士兵後，該士兵大聲喊叫，接著就化成火焰變成灰燼。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvypKfmfyUH
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WFK5D2bfB
——怎麼回事？594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7NfSBK5DD
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJ2C4ECQL
——不、不對。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv5S9Xl3g6
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG5VZI8kXi
威廉趁這空檔，其他兩名士兵都看傻眼、沒來制止的空檔，抱起妹妹、緩緩嘗試站起身子。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDWDpEhHE
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsyfNf0Xfr
身體上的疼痛，和無法拯救母親的傷痛，如同腐蝕性液體淋在身上一般，令威廉差點站不起來、身子重心不穩搖搖晃晃。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6p2oCwAU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uPm56INJx
——不管到底是怎樣，是那個藥水也好、妹妹本來的力量也罷，那都不重要。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabC4pHRaTa
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhsL6F6SS5
——重要的是，一個月大的小女孩都沒有放棄了……594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX4oHPpRBt
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYP0WFZ5iX
然而，威廉依舊起身。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ4pFiH9x9
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU7tUGeOmj
他懷中的妹妹，好像是在對他笑的樣子，威廉用眼角餘光發現此事，這讓他心情變得好一些。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nrpNqW5yT
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHYZe1z4W8
他張開翅膀，閉上眼，接著他身子開始慢慢發出藍光。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgEJjBisFR
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y2MQGWWV0
「身為哥哥的我又怎麼可以？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39cxzoR8r0
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFamjJn1cR7
「你要幹什麼？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwuGEwgEJm
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmYd3OWAZ
「喂！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwyB3YspHe
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHQsbJ8TEQ
士兵好像到剛剛才注意到威廉的模樣，但已經來不及。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Xh1xxJyp
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YQtKmr4sa
喊完聲後，威廉拍打翅膀飛起，砰一聲撞破自家屋頂，來到天空中。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabecyc1LET
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJUV4Ps3S
——雖然長老跟爸爸有說過，不要隨便用這招不然會傷到人，但現在也顧不了這麼多了。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQUv7ho4uC
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhusXaMnL5
飛到空中的威廉，深呼吸一口氣，開始自言自語：594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sc9B77owe
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICcU6x3Lc
「偉大又崇高的天龍始祖啊，請給予您的子民真正的力量……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXhcKyPhkf
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe2RCWGnIz
因為母親被殺害又被羞辱，自己還差點掛掉，這份滿滿的傷感、憎恨與不甘心，威廉打算將其全部發洩出來。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGaErxPoR
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0MPY2hQvA
威廉這時身上的藍色光芒，已經耀眼到連他自己都必須閉上眼睛。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASyqce3mqy
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qToKpnOHy
「當山崩地裂、海枯石爛，地面寸草不生、萬物回歸虛有……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLp5LlczO6
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhKDbx1N2A
「期許光亮挺身而出，照亮黑暗、為世間帶來和平與美。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2FvzNpUJj
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3u0hljAt
威廉選擇衝破屋頂、來到自由的天空，發洩情緒，是兩個原因中的其中之一。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4hjxFmSTU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7dUb7UBkx
「那些從地獄來的，必將回歸天堂受審判。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAqIueZI6s
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnqnIoC90H
「舊的不去、新的不來……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP4oPHC2ut
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RaEe0r8MO
威廉唸咒到此之時，將肚子吸得飽飽的。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs6QLNjioP
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3CQO08ggZ
「斷罪之火、滅世之燄，始祖的力量在此，為我燃盡無數邪惡百鬼。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGAzbA4Mjw
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bl3QDajyY
「龍舌吐息——！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0xRWc627T
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPwHwGNmSZ
咒語結束後，威廉吐出巨大火焰，將自己與母親住的房子給燒毀。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjRTmrji20
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Uez64xiS
火焰吐出的那一刻，威廉的肚子消下去，彷彿所有傷感、憎恨與不甘心都慢慢消除似的。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjjgoFBd7f
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9D9Umzn3j
不只如此，他還在天空中俯視，發現這一地段的房子都殘破不堪，好像都被搶劫了一樣。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzb1IilR4R
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgmxRn0BfG
威廉把他的火焰轉向那些房子，一口氣，就使這一帶都化為一座火海。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFezxJBJ8u
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0US6ieCvN3
然而，究竟威廉為什麼要這麼做？士兵們大概是不清楚的。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJYCSMjyBI
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ZFMMKtJE
對他們來說，威廉這麼做的目的不明。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRACryVX5Q
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy6cgnwp9I
畢竟所有龍族都是不怕火的，無論龍還是邪龍。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfOOL5AG7
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKKd4qdP80
「喂！正統龍族小弟弟，你瘋了嗎？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zrPG4TgPK
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz6Bi0PMKm
「就算只剩你們家我們還沒搜刮完，也不用這樣子吧！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGI9U5HVnt
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR3A6YzcxC
底下的士兵抬頭喊聲。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdSvVopUzv
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdGOBloKn9
也許他們可以想得到的，想到威廉大概是情緒不穩才如此。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg5GV3X7JE
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0e4upSiYs
他們沒有直接說出口，也許是因為沒有從威廉此刻的模樣馬上聯想到。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q8PDZeG6K
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsll4MlQTNm
威廉此刻的模樣，已經不是正統龍族的樣子，而是有著邪龍的鱗片、龍族的鱗片，以及人類的皮膚。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj4FFllqAf
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6XNGXMlXW
「你……喂！醉鬼，就跟你說不要亂用那個藥水。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SIsDwFfIv
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ncXspQiK
「不是，不可能。那個藥水的效力才不會……」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVvxLYwrWz
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZnTyvY3nt
「你們聽好了，可惡的邪龍士兵們。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcahkXytW8
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zfhtjk1U1
於那兩位士兵講悄悄話之時，威廉說話了。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtiW3rolXh
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbPwbHit9D
「以我現在的力量，還沒有辦法打倒你們，但是總有一天我會回來找你們。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yxe2DxYib
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qe7ArpmQu
在那之前，給我洗乾淨脖子等著——威廉沒有把這句話完整說出來。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgUcC3BM3Z
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlYEf1OCpG
那是因為，士兵在他說到「在那之前」這個詞的時候，就打斷威廉說話。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9O0uqEojR
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDSYr2pasp
「滾下來啦，可惡！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKXY6l0qrP
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkJMjLKLb
咻——594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWne27EHz2
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnFS0jbBLV
一根長矛飛向威廉，然而威廉輕鬆閃開。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl0Es79z7k
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxrQR2Wxpd
然後威廉繼續說：594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8sLjxpj8
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzrCRTeZ2v
「你們邪龍族殺害我的母親，我是絕對不會忘記的，這裡不會再有人類受到你們羞辱，因為都已經沒有了。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByIfJFADZh
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ2kwNh0qG
「……原來如此，這就是你的目的嗎？可惡！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ZptgJn2x
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedJGqDn2Je
「所以你是哪裡有毛病？該死！你到底是誰？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9LbX6s982
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMxLBJ4XCg
咻——594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdmkcBZNYu
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjMIxqd2Yy
這次是箭飛向威廉，然而威廉還是輕鬆閃開。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnMpkiTp4T
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0sLWfS4j5
「我是誰？」威廉聽到士兵的言語後，冷笑。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sbbn3god0
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Cn0pka7Q
「正統龍族不可能有這種力量的。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKQ7p8ketU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHjPvld8Op
「好、好，我們認輸好嗎？你好像很強的樣子，乾脆就加入我們邪龍怎麼樣？」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IO5Q5NzyF
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr2rW58NGG
「別笑掉別人大牙了！」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkQLEa3IiW
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChJzTAXJJ
威廉此語，令士兵愣住。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLvRMng8YH
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq6ZZvNGqx
不到兩秒，威廉再度說話：594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO4EbLeX7l
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYUgdgoaHB
「我是誰？我不是以天空為傲的龍族，也不是以地面自居的邪龍，當然也不可能是人類。」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc2qld1zQq
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzRbQJt7u8
「「……」」594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqtRUUBl7f
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yIo5hnzGx
我就是半龍族——這是威廉最後對士兵說的六個字。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGFPKCLya
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XBjCfFYdA
在威廉說出口的那瞬間，他感覺到體內突然有一股刺痛感，但不像是肌肉損傷，可能是內臟出問題。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjjEvXfOiF
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD7CRDr3mr
因為這樣，威廉判斷不宜久留，所以就飛離此地。

＊

離開該處後，威廉在深山中的某座洞窟睡了一夜，等到他醒過來已經是可以看得見日出之時。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDJjhi4BDA
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQqJyv90Xs
威廉昨晚本想吐出藍色的火，但後來卻不知為何，吐出的卻是偏橘黃色的烈焰——這個想法是在威廉瞥見陽光的時候回憶起來的。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIghP1nwDac
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmDrNsTjhR
他低下頭來，全身肌肉繃緊、身體因此再度作痛。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡope1dzMjvl
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImgZIZu6Ob
襁褓看上去像是白色的雲，緊緊環抱裡頭的嬰孩。可能是因為如此，威廉才鬆了口氣。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncpCJDsFLT
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cdAyypmPT
——還好昨天晚上的魔法沒有傷到妹妹。

雖然如此，但威廉知道妹妹跟自己身上的鱗片其實沒有那麼容易消除這個事實，已經是他們長大之後了。

多年後，當威廉.康斯坦丁再度面臨家人臨死危機之時，他腦海中都會浮現這段小時候的回憶，然而其實他最想要忘掉的，也是這段記憶。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12FBnvQNAe
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wBXs1YHah
不過，還是有些事情忘不了，也不能忘掉。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BYtidF2gU
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO8b43RAvW
威廉依然遵循多年前的自己，於那座洞窟面向朝陽的那一刻，與妹妹定下的承諾。無論過了多久、無論遭遇什麼天大挫折，他都相信著自己能夠辦到，只要和妹妹一起。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXcNjjHpdm
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvaTSrGyVA
宛如嘲笑臉孔的月亮，已經下降到地平線以下，上來的是溫暖的陽光，與一旁襯托的白色雲朵。594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT53gMlH4Dj
594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVD7xXT9C2
