'We're not too late.'

As soon as the spatial teleportation ended, the battlefield unfolded before Ian's eyes.

There was no time to marvel at his first experience with teleportation.

Ian's judgment had been chillingly accurate.

In fact, Ian felt goosebumps crawling up his skin.

'What if I hadn't torn the spatial movement scroll?'

Hrundal had thrown Ian a signal through the Arcana cards.

But interpreting the mystery was a separate issue for Ian.

'What if I'd wasted the spatial movement scroll somewhere else?'

A result born from overlapping coincidences.

... Perhaps a 'future' that Gerard had anticipated and guided.

One of countless possibilities was now unfolding before Ian's eyes.

[You mountain valley earthworms! Are you volunteering to be human dogs?!]

"Graaaaaaah!"

Predius roared.

A fear that made hair stand on end and knees tremble!

The human soldiers didn't even dare to approach the dragon.

Even the orcs on the same side began to back away from Predius.

The roar of a wounded dragon had the power to stimulate the primal fear of prey animals.

[Hmph! Talk big after you've pulled out that spear in your chest!]

[Haha! That's right! If you say 'I'm sorry~ Please spare me~', we might just go home!]

But the dragon's fear only worked on lowly creatures like humans and orcs.

It had no effect on drakes, called 'wingless dragons'.

In fact, drakes were large and tough enough creatures to challenge dragons for territory.

Dragons usually won, but drakes were still troublesome opponents.

And there weren't just one, but two drakes.

"Kyaaaaak!"

"Grrrrrr...!"

Longtail and Sharpteeth.

The two beasts combined their strength to push against the dragon's massive body.

Crack crack crack crack!

The ground shattered and gravel flew everywhere.

When the drake couple joined forces, they overpowered the dragon with brute strength!

[Graaaaaah! I'll kill you!]

Predius viciously bit into Longtail while breathing fire.

"Kyaaaaak!"

Longtail screamed in pain.

Sharpteeth pounced, but the breath attack didn't stop.

Monsters tangled in battle, the dragon spewing flames across the battlefield!

"Good heavens...!"

"What are we... witnessing right now?"

Even the Knights of Santiago, famous for their bravery, lost their will to fight in the face of this mythical battlefield.

Anyone would be stunned witnessing a battle between beings that far transcended humans.

The fact that Sir Salvador, who commanded the knights, had fainted also played a big part.

But then, a young wizard's voice rang out loud and clear.

"Hooks!!!"

"!"

"!"

It was the wizard Ian.

Perched atop Longtail, shielding his face from the flames with his robe, Ian shouted:

"Bring the hooks!"

That's when the Knights of Santiago snapped back to their senses.

"H-Hooks!"

"To the carts! Run to the carts, brothers!"

Sir Dehitri took over command.

The knights hurried to fetch the hooks.

Ian then cast a buff on Belenka.

"[Blessed warrior! Awaken!]"

Like Ian, Belenka had been watching the situation from atop Sharpteeth's back.

Belenka knew exactly what she needed to do.

"The dragon-slaying spear!"

"Yes!"

It was clearly a difficult mission.

A task even Salvador had failed at once.

But Belenka launched herself without a moment's hesitation.

"Graaaaaah!"

"Kyaaaaak!"

Bang!

Predius roared, pinning Longtail with his left foot and Sharpteeth with his right.

[Know your place, you insolent creatures!]

[Ugh...!]

[Both of you! I'll burn you together!]

Ian used magic to save Longtail.

"[Earth! Leap up!]"

He summoned and hurled rock shards but.

Thud, thud.

As expected, Predius didn't even flinch.

'Fuck...!'

Monsters with magic resistance were truly troublesome for wizards to deal with.

But Ian had already taken down a demon with magic resistance before.

With buff magic!

"Haaaaaaap!"

Predius had succeeded in subduing the drakes.

But he failed to notice the silver-winged helmeted female knight charging at him.

Belenka leaped at an incredible speed and latched onto Predius's chest.

Then with all her might, she pulled out the dragon-slaying spear!

"Graaaah! Kyaaaaak!"

Predius screamed in shock.

When he came to his senses, his chest was burning and gushing blood.

Below.

A female knight drenched in dragon blood glared at him with cold eyes...!

[You...! Insects!]

Predius noticed Belenka's presence, but it was too late.

"Die! Dragon!"

Belenka hurled the dragon-slaying spear, aiming for Predius's neck.

The dragon-slaying spear.

A weapon crafted by combining the efforts of human blacksmiths and fairy technicians, using monster materials!

A searing, unpleasant pain overwhelmed Predius.

The dragon-slaying spear pierced through the dragon's tough scales and lodged in his neck.

"Graaaaaah!"

Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, Predius released the drakes.

"Nice one, Belenka!"

Ian immediately shouted to the Knights of Santiago.

"Now's our chance!"

"We're on it, Lord Ian!"

The Knights of Santiago hooked their prepared grapples onto the dragon-slaying spear.

This was an anti-monster tactic commonly used by the Holy Empire's knights.

Lodging a large spear in the body, then pulling it out with hooks to induce massive bleeding!

The retrieved spear could be thrust in again and again.

[Ha...! Not bad! You bat-lizard bastard!]

[You're one to talk! You were getting your ass kicked just a moment ago!]

[No I wasn't! I hit them too!]

Longtail and Sharpteeth, having regained their senses, pounced on Predius once more.

At the same time, the Knights of Santiago yanked out the dragon-slaying spear.

Rip!

"Graaaah!"

Predius writhed in agony.

Blood gushed from the gaping hole in his neck.

"Again! Throw the spear again!"

"I'll throw it!"

Jubal hurled the dragon-slaying spear once more.

He aimed for the head, but his aim was off and it struck the shoulder instead.

But it didn't matter.

They could pull out the spear and throw it again as many times as needed!

[You bastard!]

Longtail bit into the side while Sharpteeth clamped down on the foreleg.

[You... Get off! Get off, you idiots!]

"Graaaaaaaaah!"

Predius let out a long roar.

But that roar wasn't as terrifying as before.

Stabbed multiple times and bleeding profusely.

Exhausted from grappling with the drakes, Predius drooled hot saliva between his teeth.

Now that his movements had slowed, it was their chance.

Belenka leaped up.

Using the dragon-slaying spear lodged in the dragon's shoulder as a foothold, she reached Predius's head in one bound.

"Die! You disgusting monster!"

Belenka gripped her most treasured weapon, a longsword, vertically.

Then she stabbed it straight into the dragon's eye!

"Graaaaaah! Graaaaaaaaah!"

Predius thrashed his head wildly.

Dragon blood tears sprayed everywhere.

Rather than clinging to the longsword, Belenka nimbly pulled away.

If she had driven that longsword deep into the eye socket, she might have pierced the dragon's brain.

That would have meant death even for the mighty Predius.

The longsword was about halfway in, so it was better to leave it partially embedded than risk pulling it out by mistake.

'Did we do it...?'

Ian held his breath, observing Predius.

The tide of battle had almost completely turned in Ian's favor.

Just a little more...

Just a bit more beating, and they could kill this terrible monster!

[You dare...! You dare...!]

Predius's remaining eye burned with madness.

It meant he'd gone berserk with rage.

[Burn to ashes! You insects!]

Predius spewed forth flames.

Unlike before, these were blue flames.

Eredith, who had been preparing magic, cried out in surprise.

"Everyone, fall back! That's dragon blood fire!"

Dragon blood fire was literally ignited dragon blood.

Much hotter and stickier than regular breath, once it clung to the body, it wouldn't extinguish easily even if you jumped into water.

Because it required expelling blood, even dragons didn't use this technique often...

But Predius, driven mad, had ignited and spat out his own blood.

The Knights of Santiago, and even the drakes, retreated.

Blue flames blazed around the black dragon.

Orcs engulfed in flames screamed, spewing fire from their mouths and eyes.

"He's spitting blood! He won't last much longer!"

Eredith's words were correct.

Predius was truly on death's doorstep.

'Just a little more!'

Ian waited for the flames the dragon had desperately spewed to die down.

If they continued fighting like this, he would surely die.

So...

The black dragon chose to flee.

"Huh?"

As the dragon spread its massive wings, Ian was taken aback.

No... they couldn't let it escape here!

The opponent was a dragon.

If they let it go, it would surely recover and return for revenge!

'I won't let you get away!'

Ian caught his breath and drew Anor-lsil.

The blade pointed directly at the black dragon.

Today, he would definitely kill this beast...!

"Predius!!!"

Ian gripped Anor-lsil tightly and hurled himself towards the black dragon.

At the same time, Predius kicked off the ground and took flight.

"Oh!"

"Lord Ian!"

The Knights of Santiago were horrified.

The wizard Ian... was disappearing into the sky along with Predius!

"Ian!"

"Jump down! Ian!"

Belenka and Eredith called out to Ian urgently.

But Ian had already risen beyond the reach of their voices.

'I've come this far anyway!'

Ian calmly steadied his breathing.

The rapidly receding ground.

The wind shrieking sharply!

If he fled now, it would all be for nothing.

[Human wizard...!]

At that moment, Predius addressed Ian.

After getting beaten to near death, he suddenly became surprisingly polite.

As they say, manners come from fists.

[I warn you, let go of my body this instant...!]

Ian hesitated for a moment.

Should he really be talking to this bastard right now?

Just in case, Ian replied to Predius.

"[Why should I?]"

[If you don't let go... I'll tear you to shreds!]

Ian chuckled and answered.

"[Go ahead.]"

[...]

"[All talk and no action~ You really don't get it, do you? At times like this, you're supposed to say 'I'm sorry~ Please spare me~'.

Idiot.]"

[Shut up...! I said shut up!]

Ian clicked his tongue.

This is why inherently evil bastards are no good.

They only know how to torment others. When they're at a disadvantage, they can't even apologize once.

It was expected, anyway.

[I'll tear you apart...! I'll rip you to shreds...!]

A voice mixed with madness and hatred pierced Ian's mind.

Ian was sick of the dragon's evil nature.

As if he really wanted to kill Ian, Predius performed aerial acrobatics with his dying body.

[Fall! You lowly human without wings!]

Ian gritted his teeth and held on.

The dragon's final struggle was certainly threatening.

Even clinging to the dragon's body was a struggle for Ian.

But Ian was a wizard.

"[Arno! Isil!]"

[We've been waiting!]

[Give us your orders, Master!]

The mystery of the sword, the Arno & Isil sisters, answered Ian's call.

Ian shouted.

"[Drive the longsword stuck in the dragon's eye deeper!]"

Ian hurled Anor-lsil.

The magic sword imbued with the mystery of the stars flew freely towards the dragon's head.

And.

It struck the longsword Belenka had embedded with all its might!

Thunk!

"Graaaaaaaaah!"

Predius's massive body convulsed.

Anor-lsil returned neatly to Ian's grasp.

At the same time, the black dragon stopped flapping its wings and began plummeting to the ground...

Ian leaped off the dragon's body and closed his eyes.

The voice of the wind whispered in his ears.

[You're flying, human!]

It was the voice of the wind.

Ian shouted with all his might.

"[Wind!]"

"[Wind!]"

Simultaneously, a woman's voice was heard from the ground.

Two gusts of wind cushioned Ian's body like an air cushion.

Ian stared at the wizard who had summoned the wind for a while.

"It's been a while, Ian."

The female wizard said with a smile.

"Our dragon slayer."

"...Master."

Eredith Manskal.

Ian's master.
