Growth
"Damn you!"
Heading to the scene alone
I can't help but say those words.
When was the last time I went full speed?
Was it the last battle at Geldaria?
"How could I have slowed down so much?"
I haven't used my function as a proper synthetic dragon, Dranmeira, in over a hundred years since then.
I must have been heading north-northwest for several days now.
The longer I delay, the worse the situation will become.
"…I can see it!"
A place where not a single grass grows
The ground glistens in the reflection of the light.
And in the middle of it, there's an airship that landed there. No.
"It crashed!"
The smell of blood fills the surrounding area.
The knights on the airship were fighting on the ground.
The opponent was...
"You big lizards! Don't you dare touch my children!"
I can't help but cry out when I see the desperate expressions on the knights' faces even from here.
"Two hundred centimeters, double-edged, long-handled straight sword, draw!"
With all my might, I swung the sword down at the enemy.
First, I cut down one of them.
"C-Commander!"
"Status report!"
"I'm sorry, I can't explain it well!"
"I understand. I'll take care of these guys right away!"
For that purpose, I will first buy time.
In the meantime, they will treat the injured and get them back on their feet.
The problem is…
-I'm hungry-
-I'm hungry-
-My stomach hurts!-
The true identity of the enemy is the gigantic dragon that appeared from the sea before the empire existed.
"There are three Nibels…"
There is no vegetation in this area.
There should be melted glass on the ground.
Is it the same ability as the individual that appeared on the ground?
"Commander, what are they?"
"It’s Nibel."
It should have been included in history textbooks.
You can tell what kind of beings these things are by telling them its name.
No
"Is that so?"
Looks like they already guessed it
That's excellent
"How did you guys buy time for a few days?"
"We took the magic stones out of the airship's furnace, generated heat, and used it as a decoy."
"How many magic stones do you have left?"
"About 20 pieces."
"Give me five."
I received the magic stones from the knight.
Pour mana into the magic stone and generate heat.
"Now, here's some delicious, tasty, warm food. Come towards me!"
I left the airship
"Commander!"
"Get yourselves together and hurry up! If you're too slow, I'll subdue them all!"
I went into the forest
Three Nibels are chasing me.
They reached out to my red-hot arm and tried to catch me
"You’re in too much of a hurry, you glutton!"
The three bodies collide violently and scream.
Apparently, when Nibels come into contact with each other, the impact causes heat to escape to the outside.
Nibel struggles with hunger.
As they calm down, their feet begin to freeze.
It seems that they are somehow able to sustain life by taking heat away from temperature.
I don't have the trump card dagger that I used for the final blow that time.
But there is another way to do it
"Twenty-six divided by three is roughly eight, and eight per body is enough to take them out!"
I take out a large sword from my palm and throw it vigorously.
"It's the sword from that time!... But even if I say that, you guys don't understand, right?"
The large sword thrusts into the belly of one of them.
"Furthermore, this time it's an improved version. [Chill!]"
What I made was a sword made of ice.
Nibel begins to suffer as the heat is absorbed by the sword all at once.
Now, what should you do? Glutton
"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!"
With a scream, Nibel bites another one with a big sword in its belly.
I guess they don't have a sense of camaraderie.
Or maybe it never was.
I don't know if it's because it's hungry or because it's lost its mind, but.
It worked out well so I guess it's good
Nibel, bitten and deprived of heat, fights back.
I'll move in to take out one of them while I still can.
"Three hundred centimeters, ice blade, straight sword, draw!"
I threw the same ice sword at the third Nibel.
"Four hundred centimeters, ice blade, straight sword, draw!"
One more.
"Five hundred centimeters, ice blade, straight sword, draw!"
When the third one pierces, Nibel collapses.
I quickly closed the distance towards the fallen Nibel.
"Fifty centimeters! Magic stone blade! Draw!"
I create a sword using magic stones refined within my body.
I stick it in Nibel's eyeball
Deeply, deeply
Then I poured mana into the blade all at once.
At that moment, BAM*! A sound can be heard from inside Nibel's head.
Blood spurts everywhere
"That's the first one!"
My right arm is badly injured after being caught in the explosion of the sword, but I don't care.
It'll heal anyway, and if I think about it, it'll hurt even more.
I don't like pain, so I try desperately not to think about it.
The remaining two...
"As expected of Commander!"
"We're done here!"
It seems the knights have safely prepared and caught up.
It seems that about 20 knights destroyed the brains of the remaining two bodies.
"...No, no."
"Commander, what's wrong?"
Nothing.
I'm just impressed with how good they all are.
