Episode 219
Death Knight
219 ? Death Knight #3
dragon.
Fearsome scales and claws, and a large body.
A bomber that flies through the sky and spits out fire or light from its mouth.
Anyway, dragons were like the embodiment of fear to the people of this world.
If you look at the fairy tales of the continent of Gaia right now, there are many stories about evil dragons kidnapping princesses – it is a story about such evil beasts.
I think I’ve only seen a dragon once in this world. Was it when it flew into the roof of the city hall in Calcutta and the wizards gathered to chase it away?
I don’t know why a dragon was sitting on the roof of the city hall. It had a crimson body and huge wings that spread out, and it cried out so fiercely that the whole city was in chaos.
It’s a true natural disaster.
You never know when or where it will appear, and you never know what damage it will cause.
“Huh, hey, it’s a dragon… .”
With such a thing lying prostrate before us, it was inevitable that Paranoy would tremble in fear.
Like a rat frozen in front of a snake, it is unable to move, with its feet firmly pressed against the ground.
But not only Paranoy, but also Luna and I stood still and were speechless.
You might not know that you are seeing a revolving lantern in your head.
You bastard, you little bone rat. You said it was safe inside, you piece of shit.
I thought it was just a regular cave and went straight ahead, but then I met a dragon.
It has a body as bright red as a ruby, and is about the size of a medium-sized car, including its tail. However, if it spreads its wings and body while crouching, it might grow to be about half that size.
Grrrrr… .
First of all, if you close both eyes and see the sound of breathing, it seems like he is sleeping.
“after….”
I took a deep breath so small that the guy wouldn’t notice. He said that if you keep your wits about you, you can survive even if you go into a tiger’s den.
Then wouldn’t the dragon’s den be the same? Dragons are like rivals to tigers. I think they would be similar.
So, I thought about this situation seriously with a clear mind.
I could seriously tell that the party was over.
If this kid wakes up, we all die.
“Now that I look at it, it’s not a dragon, it’s a wild wyvern… It’s small and doesn’t seem to be that old… .”
Just then, Paranoy calmed down and explained the situation properly. The object in front of me was not a dragon, but a wyvern?
Luna said something to him.
“This is my first time seeing a dragon. What’s the difference between a wyvern and a dragon?”
“Half a century ago, the titans and dragons who lost the war against the giants lost their positions and were imprisoned or mostly killed. Of course, some of them managed to survive by compromising with Highforce and barely maintaining their positions. For example, the dragons of the furnace…”
“Dragons of the furnace?”
“In the great temple of the goddess Vesta, there are dragons that guard the primordial hearth… . They avoided decline by making a contract with the goddess Vesta and the great warrior… . However, the dragons that did not do so fell into ruin, lost their power, and became these mindless wyverns…”
So, are you saying that those who were doing well turned into wild beasts after losing the war? After listening to Paranoy, I realized that they were different from the dragons I had seen before.
Looking at its prone sleeping posture, it appears as if it has no front legs.
Could those little claw-like things on the tips of the wing membranes be replacements for forelimbs?
Anyway, I understood that it was a wyvern and not a scary dragon. Still, it was certain that if that sleeping thing came to its senses, we would all be in danger.
It was as if I had realized that the opponent in front of me was not a tiger, but a wolf.
Whether it’s a wolf or a tiger, they’re wild beasts. They’re extremely dangerous.
So I patted Luna and Paranoy on the back, who were frozen solid, and said.
“Don’t wake him up, let’s go back out. It looks like this cave wasn’t meant to be here.”
Twin-headed snake cub. How dare you lead us to a place like this. I really shouldn’t have believed that you could communicate with snakes.
“Ah.”
At that very moment, Luna let out a small exclamation of admiration.
“why?”
“Look over there, there are eggs over there. There are a few eggs that haven’t hatched…!”
Swish.
I looked up carefully at the raised area, and sure enough, several round eggs were visible behind the large wyvern.
It had a round, dark shell like a quail egg, and was slightly larger than my head. Indeed, it was a huge, powerful egg.
“Just wait. I’ll just bring you one.”
“No, you brought that? What if the wyvern wakes up…!”
“I don’t think it will wake up. Ideopa crocodiles hibernate. Looking at this one, it looks like it is hibernating.”
Exactly, exactly-.
Luna snapped her fingers, making a rather loud noise that made Paranoy and I clench our jaws and necks.
The wyvern was really in a very deep sleep, and no matter how loud Luna screamed, it showed no sign of waking up.
“No matter what, it seems too dangerous. Luna, let’s just go.”
“Is that so…? Yeah, if Hassan says so, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Whether my persuasion had worked or not, Luna somehow gave in and turned around. It was at that very moment.
Urrrrrr-.
From deep underground, the ground began to shake violently. It was as if the cave we were in was going to collapse.
Thanks to that, Luna, Paranoy, and I were able to hold on by holding onto the stalactites that were sprouting up around us. The problem was what came next after Sval.
Ugh… .
Because I could see the greenish pupils staring at me. The back of my head felt like a rat had caught my eye. The muscles in my entire body felt tense.
There is only one thing that can come out of my mouth.
“… This is fucked up. Let’s get out-!”
Grrrrrrr…!
The wyvern, fully raised, spread its wings wide. Looking at it like this, it seemed to be at least as big as a forklift.
It was dizzying to think that a forklift with claws and teeth was coming at us now, trying to eat our flesh instead of our oil.
“Hey, since it’s come to this, let’s steal the eggs!”
However, Luna ran towards him with all her might, as if she had found the courage somewhere. The speed was faster than I had imagined, so I had no time to stop her.
Oh no!
The wyvern, perhaps considering Luna as its enemy, swung down its wings that had been spread high.
Oh my. I thought Luna would definitely get flattened like this.
Sigh.
Luna ducked her waist like a boxer dodging an opponent’s punch, then slipped her body between the guy’s wings and legs.
It seems that it wasn’t a lie that her agility stat was in the realm of superhumans. Luna showed off her acrobatic evasion skills by dodging between the Wyvern’s wings.
Ssuk-.
“It’s heavy-!?”
However, the problem came after picking up an egg as large as her own body. Luna hesitated for a moment, perhaps because the wyvern egg was heavier than she had thought.
Grrrrr!!
As if it was even more angry at that sight, the wyvern opened its mouth as large as a desk and roared.
The cave shook so much that it felt like it was going to collapse that I unconsciously frowned and hunched over.
“Hassan, we must help Luna…!”
“I know!”
If possible, I didn’t want to fight this monster.
On the one hand, I was curious about what would happen if I killed the wyvern and revived its bones. I never thought I would think like this. Am I really that deeply immersed in the social world?
On the other hand, I also felt like unleashing my power against such monsters.
Maybe it was because I had leveled up and raised my stamina to 9, but I felt like my body was filled with a power that was boiling like magma.
“Luna, just hold on a little longer!”
I pulled out my club and lunged at the wyvern.
Perhaps sensing my life force or mana, the creature tried to turn its body, but since the narrow nature of the cave restricted large movements, it had no choice but to show me the back of its head.
Tadadot.
I climbed onto the tail and back of that wyvern guy, then struck its head with my club from top to bottom with all my might, with a double-edged sword.
thud-!
Lazy-!!
Then, with a loud noise, the wyvern’s balance was greatly disturbed and it fell to the ground. It seemed that the legs attached to its hind legs and wings were not able to withstand the impact that had just occurred.
“Hassan, watch out!”
At that very moment, Luna’s scream suddenly brought me back to my senses. I saw that the stalactites hanging precariously above me were starting to crack.
Woojijik.
I quickly roll over and choose to get away from the wyvern’s body.
It’s a very ugly and ridiculous posture, but it’s okay if it helps you avoid a crisis.
Thud thud thud-.
Thanks to this, it was easy to avoid the stalactites that fell from above.
Grrrrrrrr-!
However, the wyvern, unable to avoid the heavy rocks, could only scream and struggle.
I don’t know how strong its scales are, but it was clear that it had taken a lot of damage.
In terms of games, this is the groggy time that is usually given to giant monsters. In other words, this is the time when you have to push your damage as much as possible.
“Take control-!”
Luna and Paranoy also seemed to have come to their senses in surprise at my shout.
Luna pulls out the giant silence totem she was carrying on her back with both hands, and Paranoy picks up the rocks she sees around her.
And I was busy smashing and breaking the body of the wyvern that was roughly visible from a distance with all my might.
Kwajik, kwajijik-.
Thanks to that, the pretty ruby-colored scales that decorated the guy’s body were seen breaking and cracking. The wyvern screamed even more, as if it was in great pain.
Guaaaak-!
If you look at it from a human perspective, would you say that a broken fingernail is painful?
“Then, this will hurt a little more-!”
I quickly approached the head of the wyvern that was crouching and struggling on the ground. Then I repeatedly struck its head with my club.
Boom, bang-, bang-!
For most creatures, parts like the head are a major weak point, and it seems that this was the case even for the wyvern, which covered its body in hard scales.
“If I hit a little more, I think I can hunt…! Aah-! Aah! It’s dangerous…!”
I checked the wyvern’s condition at Paranoy’s voice. Then, its red scales began to glow red like heated glass.
“I’m going to shoot the breath…!”
“What, breath-!?”
Startled, I hurriedly moved away, and at that very moment, the wyvern opened its mouth wide and spit out flames.
Whirl, thud.
A strange gas smell and heat quickly spread throughout the surroundings.
Hwaaaaak-!
The wyvern raised its body, circled around, and breathed flames forward.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! It’s hot…!”
“I guess it’s not an ordinary firework!”
Thanks to that, Paranoy’s robe caught fire and he was rolling around on the floor. Luna was also struggling as if she didn’t know what to do with the strong flames moving around here and there.
If things continued this way, it was certain that none of us would be able to avoid being roasted. That’s why I thought it was necessary to shut the mouth of that wyvern that was spitting out its hangover.
So I stop thinking and just lunge at the wyvern.
“Shut up, you little punk!”
I clung to the guy’s head, narrowly avoiding his flames and pressing down hard on his upper and lower jaws from top to bottom.
They say that reptiles have strong bite force, but their jaw opening power is often weak. It seems that this baby wyvern was similar.
Woooooo-.
The guy’s jaw eventually slowly closed. He tried to struggle here and there, but he was no match for me, who had shown patience and strength to the point of gritting his teeth.
“Get behind-!”
Finally, when the guy’s jaw closed completely.
As it continues to spray fire, large explosions occur inside its mouth and body.
bang-!
Kehek, gehehege, gehek.
A giant lizard wyvern coughing dryly, perhaps in pain from the explosion caused by its own flames.
The little guy wags his tail back and forth a few times before quickly falling flat on the floor.
I could feel the strength draining from his body, and I could feel that we were the ones who had ultimately won this fight.
We killed the wyvern.
“I, I fucking killed the dragon!”
I felt a fucking elated feeling. I fucking killed a dragon. I became Dragon Slayer Hassan!
As I was raising both my hands high like that, Paranoy, who had put out all the fire attached to his body, came towards me, sweating profusely.
“It’s not a dragon, it’s a wyvern. And it’s still immature…!”
“Be quiet, you punk.”
“Still, you caught a wyvern with just your physical ability and no other talents. It seems like you are becoming a fearsome warrior…!”
However, there was not enough time to enjoy the afterglow of victory.
The Wyvern had set fire to something like a strange gas here and there, burning everywhere and creating toxic smoke.
What should I do with this? Should I just get out of here?
When I thought about it like that.
Luna, who had been hit by the wyvern’s tail and blown far away, sat up in a shaky manner and took out a strange potion bottle from her waistband.
I sprayed it all over the dwarf sprayer and the flames that were burning like a blazing fire gradually lost their strength and went out completely.
“It was good that I brought the digestive medicine…! Anyway, Hassan! We caught the wyvern! Let’s hurry and take care of it!”
Thanks to Luna, I avoided being a nuisance.
I placed my palm against the wyvern’s massive body.
Perhaps it was because of his experience of cutting up and cutting up many corpses while serving as Elfriede’s slave, but when he put his palm against it, he could roughly feel the texture and leather of an alligator or a wyvern.
So, as the structure of the bastard’s bones began to take shape in my head, I suddenly felt something.
This kid, if he does it right, he might actually be able to raise his bones… .
