chapter 96
96 – Preparations
As usual, I was in the middle of having a drink at the store after business.
Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung.
“Is it an earthquake?”
The liquor in the glass began to tremble and spilled onto the table.
Looking at the man who had spilled his drink, the man whose face turned red as if he was drunk opened his mouth.
“Hey, is this person drunk already?”
“When was I ever drunk before you?”
“Now that I’m older, I might already be drunk.”
“… ….”
The man smirked and lifted the glass he was holding.
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
And once again the ground started to shake, the arm holding the glass trembled and the drink dripped into his shoes.
“Heh heh. Am i drunk? My hands are trembling, yes. Would you like to get up now?”
The man who set her glass down on the table looked at the man sitting in front of her.
“Hmm? Why are you doing this?”
However, the man who was drinking with her was staring blankly at her with his mouth open.
No, to be precise, he was looking behind himself.
“There is a pretty woman behind me… ….”
And the man who turned her head following the man’s gaze was unable to continue her words.
Even though they were quite far away, their intoxication was instantly blown away by the clearly visible huge existence.
A cold silence lingered in the shop, which had just been noisy and drinking.
But the silence was broken by her man’s words.
“D, dragon…… !”
And those who doubted her own eyes at her man’s words start to tremble in fear of her.
Puffed up.
At the sight of an ancient being who would destroy the world, some people sat on the ground without realizing it.
Then the panic-stricken men hurriedly ran outside screaming without looking back.
“Do, run away!!”
“It’s a dragon!!”
Those who actually saw the dragon decades ago, as well as those who only heard about it, frantically ran away from the dragon as much as possible.
And not only in the center, but also in the north, as well as the whole continent, the news that the dragon was resurrected quickly spread, and everyone trembled with fear.
*
And at the same time, big smiles appeared on the corners of the mouths of the black magicians who risked their lives in a battle with Rail and the others in the hideout.
“De, finally…… !”
“The Bishop has completely resurrected the Ancient One… !”
Alyn swung her sword at those who looked up at the sky with joy even though the battle was not over yet.
Suddenly!
It was only natural in a battle to attack while the other person was careless, but Aline’s face distorted when she succeeded in attacking.
And the warlocks who had been decapitated by Allin’s sword were still laughing even though they lost their lives.
“That, that’s a dragon… ….”
3 Princess Claire stared blankly at the dragon. She
She has had experience of fighting many strong men, but when she saw the dragon in the sky, she felt very small.
‘There’s no way there’s a human who can deal with that…….’
Of course, I’ve heard before that Archmage Penia sealed a dragon with the Sword Master.
But at that time, only the face of the dragon appeared, and now there were no sword masters who could damage the dragon’s skin.
‘It’s over… ….’
In the end, everyone was killed by the dragon, and they thought that there would be no living beings left on the continent.
It was at that time when I was staring at the sky so dejectedly.
In a situation where everyone couldn’t move their bodies, the rails moved their feet.
Even though he must be quite tired, Rail ran at high speed toward the path the warlocks were blocking.
“Rails…… ?”
At that appearance, everyone stood and looked at the rails.
Then, realizing that the rails could not move without a plan, the party regained their senses and followed the rails.
Rail ran through the hideout at the fastest possible speed, and saw numerous rooms, but did not slow down at all.
And among the rooms that all look the same, I found a place where I could feel a familiar magic power, and I kicked the closed door as hard as I could.
Kwaguawang!!
With the sound of the door breaking, the image of the closed room caught my eye.
The first thing that caught my eye was the figure of Pillar lying chilly on the blood-soaked floor.
Then I saw the bishop lying on the floor, bleeding from a knife stabbed in the heart behind him.
If someone saw this, they would think the bishop was attacked, but the handle of the sword stuck in his heart had both his hands.
He used his last gift, his heart, to resurrect the ancient dragon.
Rail quickly looked away from Pillar and Bishop.
The dragon has reappeared in the world, but it is still too early to give up everything.
Rail, who quickly looked around, found a magic circle made of blood behind the bishop and the magic tools of the black magicians lying on top of it.
Sususut.
Ominous red magic was rising from the magic circle made of blood.
Realizing that even now the magic wasn’t over, Rail quickly raised his mana.
Taang-!
With the sound of air bursting, dozens of bullets began to break the magic tools on top of the magic circle.
It was only after all the magic tools were destroyed that the red magic power stopped.
And among those who were watching, Rayman cautiously asked Rail.
“What was that red magic from a moment ago?”
Rail turned his head away from the magic circle where his magic was cut off and looked at Rayman.
The people around him also seemed to have the same thoughts as Rayman.
“It is the magical power that allows that dragon to fully regain its strength.”
“That, that means… ….”
Raman asked in a slightly expectant voice.
I nodded and continued.
“Yes. Although the dragon has been resurrected, it has not yet regained all of its original powers.”
“Does that mean you can defeat that monster?”
“… ….”
However, Rail didn’t immediately open up about that.
Rail turned away from Rayman and looked around at the people gathered in the hideout.
All of them stand at the pinnacle of magic and swordsmanship.
Rail, who looked at them silently, opened his closed mouth.
“It is possible. I can reseal it.”
“Really-.”
“Instead of.”
Rail cut Rayman off.
“Everyone here should do what I say without making the slightest mistake. Would that be possible?”
There is also a scene where the dragon resurrects in the original work.
However, Aline in the novel seals the dragon with her skills that surpass her father and former sword master Aaron.
However, she barely succeeds in sealing the dragon, but the battle between the two makes the northern part completely disappear from the continent.
In the novel, Aline, who sealed the dragon, was eventually acknowledged and ended, but for me, when the novel became a reality, what happened after that was also important.
During the battle, many people in the north would die, and even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would not be able to live a normal life as they lost all their possessions.
However, unlike the original work in which Aline fought alone, there were now reliable companions to fight alongside.
If things really go well, we may have some injuries, but no casualties.
And the North will not disappear from the map, and there will be no more people who have lost their hometown.
Even when the dragon appeared, Chloe answered with a slight smile.
“Of course, this is a request from my fiancé, so of course I have to do it.”
And,
“As a knight, it is natural to listen to your lord’s orders.”
Alyn, her sword drawn, looked at my face with her serious expression.
Rayman, who was standing next to him, also nodded in agreement.
“It is also a teacher’s job to fulfill a student’s request.”
“I can’t come this far and miss it.”
And Fenia and Princess Claire also accepted my offer.
Rail, who involuntarily raised the corner of his mouth at the sight of them, nodded his head.
‘It’s a shame I don’t have Iris, but I’ll be fine with this much power.’
Dragon is a monster summoned by black magic.
And the weakness of black magic is Holy Spirit.
Most black magicians who use black magic do not come close to temples that use holy spirit power.
That’s why having Iris, a saint who can gain the greatest strength when fighting a dragon, is helpful in battle.
But Iris is currently hiding her body in the Grace Shrine in the center.
If an important saintess dies, it would be very embarrassing for the temple.
I erased all the thoughts that popped into my head.
And then he opened his mouth looking at his comrades to harden his mind and fight the final battle.
“Okay. Then, let’s go subjugate the dragon-“
“Wait a minute!!”
As soon as he was about to move to quickly catch the rampaging dragon, Rail turned his head at the familiar voice he heard from behind.
And then, after checking the face of the person approaching from afar, Rail opened his mouth in a slightly embarrassed voice.
“Iris?”
At the sight of Iris, the saintess who should be protecting her body in the temple, everyone looked at Iris who was breathing heavily.
“Ha ha ha…. After hearing that Lady Rail was kidnapped by warlocks, she ran straight from the temple…… !”
