Why the secrecy?” Leon asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca recounted the strange damage she’d found on the shooting range wall a few days prior and handed Leon several photos she had taken at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing her description and reviewing the photos, Leon couldn’t help but furrow his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s... definitely a bizarre form of attack. Among all known types of elemental magic, there shouldn’t be any that could cause damage like this, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca nodded. “I’ve checked too. Nothing matches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon put the photos away, then shared Hera’s hypothesis with Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished listening, Rebecca looked slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A special type of power that doesn’t belong to the five base elements...? In that case, Hera’s theory might really be spot-on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. The only thing is, we still don’t know how this special power actually works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Leon turned to look at Muse, who was now playing with Little Brother Hawk on the dragon-eagle’s back, giggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled his gaze back and said in a serious tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the looks of it, whatever this anomalous element is, she’s not truly without magical attribute. That’s good news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right. So what’s your plan now, Captain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon thought for a moment before replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, I’ll figure out how exactly this power works. Then, I’ll help her fully master it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sounds good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca paused, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I gave her the custom weapon I had made. She’s already learned the basics over the past few days. Make sure she keeps up with practice once she’s back home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A custom weapon, huh...” Leon smiled faintly. “Thanks, Rebecca.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, no need to thank me. As long as little Muse regains her confidence, that’s all that matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're one of those 'uncles' who spoil the kid rotten, but still spoil her the right ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) way,” Leon joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a final nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, we’ll be off now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“OK. Safe travels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon waved and jumped onto the six-winged dragon-eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eagle spread its wings and slowly took to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse waved cheerfully from the creature’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bye-bye, Rebecca! See you next time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca waved back, watching her fade into the distance, and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye, little one! Come visit again during the next break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, Auntie!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the Empire behind, with hours of travel still ahead before reaching home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse had woken up early that morning, and not long after they left the city, she fell asleep curled up in Leon’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally stirred awake, her head still a bit fuzzy, the scent of grilled fish had completely taken over her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse sleepily sat up and followed the delicious smell with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Papa was grilling fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Brother Hawk lay obediently nearby, waiting for a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s ready. Here—start with this skewer, fill your belly a bit. We still have to keep going later this afternoon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the food, Little Brother Hawk flapped his wings in delight. He caught two grilled fish tossed by Leon and began munching happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Papa... where are we now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse blinked and sat beside Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you’re awake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon handed her a grilled fish and answered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll be entering dragon territory soon. We’re almost home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse nibbled at her fish. Leon had prepared plenty—more than enough for the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firewood crackled loudly in the flames. After Muse was full and content, Leon asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Muse, Rebecca said she gave you a custom-made weapon. What kind is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I’ll show you, Papa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse stood up, pulled the weapon out of her backpack, then ran back and sat beside Leon, carefully handing it over with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon took it in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...A pair of... gloves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Specifically, a pair of finger gloves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloves were primarily crimson in color. Each glove had three gold-threaded seams running from the pinky to the index finger, all converging into the center of the palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden threads clearly weren’t just decorative—they seemed to be some sort of control mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each glove also had three small cylindrical launchers on the back of the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm. Auntie Rebecca said the name of this weapon is Crimson-Gold Gauntlet. It’s a type of long-range shooting weapon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Muse slid the gloves onto her hands. She raised her right arm, formed a loose fist, bent her middle finger slightly, and hooked it around one of the gold threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She aimed at a nearby shrub and channeled her mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft “shoop,” a fine magic needle shot from the gauntlet and pierced through the bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clean hole ripped through the leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the spot where the golden thread connected, the entry point was clearly visible—even the stone behind the bush showed faint damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, that’s amazing! What a convenient firing mechanism.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm! It really is convenient. As long as I channel mana into both hands, the gauntlets absorb it and redirect it into the launchers on the back of the hands to create magic needles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse explained while adjusting the golden thread with her pinky. She fired another needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one also pierced through the bush, but the hole it left behind was slightly smaller than the first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on the stone behind it—the dent left was even deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And depending on which thread you press, you can adjust the needle’s power and penetration. It’s kind of like playing a harp—it’s super fun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“‘Fun,’ huh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon smiled with a slight furrow of the brow. Clearly, Muse still didn’t grasp the full concept of what a weapon really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t start lecturing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he could tell—Muse genuinely loved this weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just because it was a gift from Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just because it enhanced her marksmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because, in part, it could be played like a musical instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Rebecca designed this weapon, she had clearly taken into account Muse’s love and talent for music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Leon wouldn’t rush in and say things like “Weapons are dangerous,” or “Kids shouldn’t play with these.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, like when he used to guide Noa, he’d patiently help his daughter grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then make sure you take good care of it, alright?” Leon gently ruffled her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muse nodded seriously. “I will, Papa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully removed the Crimson-Gold Gauntlet, stowed it back in her bag, and resumed munching her fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon stood up and walked slowly behind the shrub, checking the damage Muse had caused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Entry point looks normal. Clear trace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that kind of weapon, penetration power wasn’t unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stroked his chin, frowning slightly, then turned his eyes to the stone behind the bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mark on the rock looks normal too... according to Muse, adjusting the gold threads changes the strength of the needle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it doesn’t seem to match the bizarre damage Rebecca was talking about...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm... what’s going on...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Leon reached out to touch the stone—to see if there was any additional damage behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the instant his fingers touched the rock... Without warning...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire stone crumbled into powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon froze in shock, staring wide-eyed at the pile of dust now at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This... was caused by Muse?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-06T15:10:09.886Z",1,"novelbin.me","ded54b47233ace7e1344468bbd5637ed1beab7c0eab3fc73013a1eb347d56b68","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-871","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-869",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
