Chapter 420
Chapter 420
The flying dragon flew up from the castle and seemed to be heading towards us, then disappeared above the clouds in the dark sky.
“It seemed like one was flying to the territory of the demons… Where was the other going?”
“Maybe he was trying to confuse you?”
“Did you pretend to attack and aim to disperse the wizards? If they’re at the level of the flying dragons, that’s probably enough…” I
couldn’t erase the ominous feeling, unlike the knights who calmed down little by little and played with spoons while seriously contemplating.
The guy who was obviously aiming for this direction disappeared out of sight. If it was a normal human, I could just ignore it, but my opponent is a demon like me who can apply magic.
One of the only two remaining flying dragons was sent to the rear to use it as a substitute for Parbalma, while the other moved for a moment to confuse the wizards who had invaded the outer castle?
If it were me, I would have hit the command center with the aim of disrupting the rear.
“Why are you doing that, Sir Ega?”
“If it were me, I would have moved and attacked the command post while hiding in the clouds.”
As I uttered that assumption without adding or subtracting, everyone’s eyes turned to me again.
But there was no response as if that was bullshit. It is close to listening with a serious and serious face.
“If it’s a human race, it’s a flying dragon that can only carry two people at most, so you can say what kind of attack it is, but the opponent is a demon race.”
“…That’s a valid opinion. However, if we stay still, the main force can join in and launch a pincer attack, as usual. Is there any reason to force such a move? That’s right.”
The question is whether there is any reason for the demon king’s army to take such a risky gamble, since it would take a skilled person to make the raid successful. Normally, her questions and refutations would have been the right arguments, but in my view, this was more of a special case.
“Maybe it’s different this time.”
“Can you tell me why you think so?”
“Because I am.”
It was really sad that I had to say such self-indulgent bullshit, but it’s true. I quickly added a quadruped to prevent the facial expressions of the people around me from getting weird.
“There are a few things I have done to the demon king’s army. Because of that, even the special forces who infiltrated Ethiel tried to kill or capture me. If the priority of that order is high…” ”
… You are saying that you can take this as an opportunity and jump at it.”
Yeah, that sounds crazy. I think that excessive self-consciousness is a disease, but sadly, it is a reality.
Of course, I said it considering that there would be an opinion saying not to say something that doesn’t work, but the reaction that came back was more normal than I thought.
“…isn’t it better to be bothered than being stabbed in the back of the head for being careless?”
“We think so too.”
Both the knights and Ranze nodded and rose from their seats. Rather, taking advantage of my dumbfounded moment at that calm decision, Ranze said while gazing at the remaining stew.
“First of all, I think we should hurry up and pack up our equipment and pass it on to the command. If you don’t mind…”
She tried to ask for my accompany, but her words didn’t follow.
“Found the dragon! It’s back!”
Because one of the knights, who took my opinion seriously and watched the sky, shouted at the top of his voice.
“Damn it! Everyone spreads out! Get your armor first! Then, someone runs and calls the remaining magic units!”
The flying dragon appeared, penetrating the dark clouds in the sky that was beginning to turn red like a spear, and in that short time, the distance from the inner sanctuary to our command post had been reduced by nearly half.
Of course, the siege of the advancing allies was far beyond the situation. Those who understood that the only thing left to do was to reduce the remaining distance in an instant, and their actions were quick.
“The 1st flying dragon is approaching! Consider it at least a centurion level and avoid all troops lacking in skills! You don’t know what kind of guy is approaching! Notify the command!”
Leaving behind Ranje, who was shouting commands to those who were not responding properly, I focused all my attention on the growing dragon.
I had no choice but to leave the vigilance and do so.
“What is that monster doing again…?”
Even though it was this far away, I could feel his mana.
Not only at the time of magical power, but also because of the powerful magic power that touched the whole body, cold sweat broke out. Do demons live by seeing that kind of thing all the time? I think I know a little bit why the strong guy became the superior?
I don’t know anything else, but it’s clear that they’re demons with a different track from the guys I’ve met so far.
The only thing that comes to mind is the demon who suddenly appeared in front of me as I moved to protect Esmue in the Imperial Academy. The demon that I couldn’t chase after with my eyes, but luckily I had nothing to deal with because it was the center of the empire, was definitely a strong one beyond my level at the time… “Do I have to deal with
that now?”
That bastard was more than that. To the point where it’s really fucking awesome.
As curses were about to come out of my mouth, something flashed above the dragon’s head, and I instinctively understood that it was an attack.
“Avoid everyone!!”
At that moment, the flying dragon, which was flying in the sky, staggered greatly and the glitter disappeared.
In the midst of an intense sense of crisis, what I grasped by mobilizing all my nerves was a javelin. The moment I recognized that it was a spear, I threw my body to the side with all my might, and an explosion occurred where I was standing just before.
-Quaaaaang!!
“Raid! Emergency! Emergency!!”
I couldn’t even take the proper fall from the shock and rolled, fixing my eyes on the spear that seemed to suddenly rise from where I was standing.
It’s fine.
As if trying to prove that the explosion that just occurred was not magic or anything like that given to the spear, but simple physical force, the spear that created a hole that could have been 2 meters in diameter was perfectly fine. Tables were smashed, chairs were blown away, and the whole area was a mess, but there was no time to care.
Because the madman who shoots with the spear was still aiming at me.
“Ah sir!”
It was faster for me to turn my gaze to the flying dragon in the sky than Ranze’s cry, which flew far away because I couldn’t prepare for it. Just in time, the light was flashing once again on top of the flying dragon, which was not properly oriented.
“Anyway, it’s a fucking world.”
The senses of the body strengthened by the magic that was wrapped around the body became more sensitive and created a strange sense of separation, but anyway, because of that, this time I was able to accurately identify the flying javelin.
Thanks to you, I have more things to admire. I’m not surprised to learn that he didn’t just hit me, he aimed his spear at my head with great precision.
As soon as I recognized that fact, the helmet protruded and blocked my view, but I was convinced that if it hit me, even if the helmet was fine, my neck bones would not be unharmed, so I slightly protruded forward and reached for the flying spear.
When you’re extremely nervous, the world seems to move slowly. In my previous life, I lived thinking that everything was bullshit, but I feel keenly that this is not the case here.
Until now, I had moved the fastest in that sense, but not as much as this time. The javelin thrown by that madman was as fast as if he was riding down a slide alone in the world of turtles.
Still, I was able to catch the javelin he threw because I was at the level of tracking, predicting, and preparing with my eyes.
-Quad deuk!
“Kheup!”
Like a kaleidoscope, the moment when I was hit by the tail wielded by the dragon in the basement of the academy passed by.
As I looked back at my memories in a shock so great that I wondered if my joints, shoulders, and muscles were being destroyed like this, the impression that spread inside me was that it was still better than then.
“Throwing…!”
There is a limit to holding on by force, so it was only after turning around and spinning once that the javelin’s power diminished.
And I was sure. If he was in the Empire, it would have been impossible to capture him like this.
It’s ridiculous, but unlike the recent daily life where there was no awareness that I was getting stronger, I think it’s right that I’m improving little by little.
So… Now it was time to see if the attack would work.
“…I can do it too, you bastard!!”
In a brief moment of less than a few seconds, the magical powers of the whole body spurt through the magical organs that feel like they are creaking as they operate to their limits. At the same time, not only physical abilities but also senses become sharper, and the appearance of the flying dragon, which was still far away, begins to be seen more clearly.
One with normal goat horns and one with thick buffalo horns. Judging by the bag full of javelins, those buffalo horns were the culprit.
There was no time to be flustered or surprised by the sudden change of senses, so I threw the javelin I had fixed and threw it at him.
The sound of the armor hitting each other over the overstretched shoulder muscles was rather noble. The javelin, which escaped from my hand with an unbelievable roar even after I threw it, was shot into the sky in an instant, just like when it hit the ground.
I was quite confident in throwing because I had been throwing an ax recently, but I wasn’t confident enough to hit that distance, but fortunately, the javelin flew very accurately to the buffalo horns I was aiming for.
The reaction to the attack was a little late, probably because they were also steadily narrowing the distance, not just standing in the air and aiming for long-range artillery fire. I couldn’t even see their expressions, but I could definitely tell that their movements were suddenly wrong.
However, it failed to hit. I sacrificed the javelin bag that the water buffalo horn was holding to block my attack.
I didn’t expect to send a goal in one shot anyway. Catching the javelin thrown by him and aiming at him again were all I wanted to see how far my actions would go in the face of a force that felt so overwhelming.
This is enough to praise yourself for doing well. As soon as the javelin left my hand, I pulled out the javelin that was stuck in the ground and started re-aiming.
“So let’s get down to the ground and talk.”
Perhaps because it’s the second time, the javelin is fired into the sky once more, confident that it was thrown much more cleanly than before.
The target this time was the flying dragon he was riding.
