Chapter 181 Escort ②
Part 1
The red-haired swordsman, Luke Psykol, smirked and drew his sword from his waist in an accustomed motion.
It was an easy-to-use straight sword with a blade about a meter long.
The width of the blade was wide, but the most distinctive feature of the sword was that the sword was made of wood, from the scabbard to the hilt and to the blade. Of course, there was no blade, and it wasn’t something that can be used on the battlefield where lives were at stake.
However, Luke confidently lifts the sword, which was very light because it was made of wood, and pointed it to the sky.
An azure sky without any clouds. And far above him, there was a small shadow.
Although it couldn’t be seen by ordinary people’s eyesight, it was sufficiently discernable for Luke and his friends from 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》, who have their five senses strengthened by repeatedly capturing Treasure Shrine.
And that was――A Dragon. It was a common Green Dragon which possessed a deep green colored body surface.
Of course, even though the beast was called common, it was still an adult dragon, one of the strongest of all legendary beasts, and to defeat it, you need to have the appropriate Level of at least 6.
Lucia sighed with a disapproved look at the Dragon that was flying without showing a shred of interest in them like it was being rushed by something.
“But to think there are so many Dragons appearing…… This isn’t normal.” (Lucia)
“Green Dragons aren’t supposed to live in this area, so I think they flew here from quite far away……” (Sytry)
Except for a few exceptions, Dragons species have excellent flying abilities. This is also one of the reasons why Dragons are considered the strongest species, as there is no way humans can catch up with the speed of a Dragon which can sometimes exceed the speed of sound.
Liz, who was *burabura* dangling her legs on her brother’s shoulder, raised her shoulders. Even Liz, who loves a good battlefield, was amazed.
“How many does it make now? Isn’t there too many? How are they gathering here?” (Liz)
“Who knows. As far as I know, there is no way to call for Dragons…… If there was one, then the only possibility would be a 『Relic』…… Or something similar.” (Sytry)
“A Relic… If it’s like this, it could be anything then.” (Liz)
Liz argued back when Sytry tilted her head.
Despite discovering a Dragon flying in the sky, they didn’t have any tension.
Same as yesterday, after a few hours, Sytry and the others had already encountered five Dragons while clearing the way.
Originally, Dragons have a wide territory. Obviously, it wasn’t natural to see that many Dragons in such a short period of time. Like yesterday’s swarm of Chilldra incident, what was happening right now was very suspicious.
Even if Sytry’s special potion can make Dragon go crazy, it doesn’t have the ability to unconditionally attract Dragons from other territories. If there was a way to control Dragons, it would be a very dangerous technique.
“The 『Fox (Kitsune)』…… Heeeh…” (Liz)
“Cry-san said he doesn’t need any Dragons anymore……” (Sytry)
Sytry ignored her sister’s muttering and looked at Luke.
She didn’t meet with him face-to-face, but there was a note at the counter of the inn where she left the chocolate.
When Luke heard her, he nodded strongly.
“Try to withstand my sword moveee! Wooooooooooooo! Luke-Style, flying sword 『Meteor Strike (Ryusennn)』!” (Luke)
Luke roared and sprinted down the road which was made by carriages coming and going while raising a cloud of dust. When he got a little closer to the Dragon at a tremendous speed, he threw his wooden sword that was in his hand.
Ignoring Liz’s “Isn’t it strange for a Swordsman to throw his sword”, the sword flew straight ahead.
It was like a shooting star. Without slowing down, it flew like it was pursuing the fast-moving Green Dragon and turned red from burning up before it could reach it. Luke collapsed on the spot.
“Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! It burned again. What am I missinggg! Lucia, next sword!” (Luke)
“Hmmmm…… Isn’t it because you lacked in spirit?” (Liz)
“Umu, umu.” (Anthem)
“Don’t say something random like this…… 『Hailstorm』.” (Lucia)
A small whirlwind formed in the palm of Lucia’s hand. The whirlwind, which contained sparkling grains of ice, quickly grew according to the technique and turned into a huge tornado that could reach the sky.
Magics that manipulate nature are often large-scale Magic. And Lucia was particularly good at Ice Magic.
The ice storm that was created spread faster than the speed of the dragon’s flight, laying waste to the entire area.
Soon after, a roar shook the area. The Green Dragon was caught by the storm, *zutazuta* torn to pieces by the ice particles inside the storm, lost its lift, and crashed into the ground.
“Such an eeeasy job.” (Liz)
“It seems that it can’t summon very strong Dragons.” (Sytry)
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
A huge thanks to Henri! and thanks to him, there will be an extra chapter tomorrow!
Haha Luke throwing his sword but ending in a orz position was so funny!
And the fact that Anthem nodded when Liz said that it was because he lacked spirit makes me think that they succeeded to meet Cry’s “expectation” because they used their guts to do it!
Tchao à plus!
