Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

462 The End Of Evil Dragon

When I saw that look, I wondered if Sophia was dreaming.

Seeing things that are convenient to me for a long time is what I thought was so self-derisive.

But after all this time, dreams never woke up, and instead, the plumage coming from the hands that remained connected complained that this was reality.

That can't be happening.

'Cause there's no reason I can help.

He would have understood, and maybe even convinced me.

But that's no reason not to have negative feelings.

We have no reason to forgive ourselves.

How much self-satisfaction has been overlaid, and it is not even atonement.

Tsuji doesn't fit.

There's no way it fits.

Rather abandoned and dying unharmed, it should finally fit.

But how much I denied it, and it never disappeared.

Sophia was just watching the sight.

Klaus and the others turned back once, but when they realized it, they only looked forward and watched the sight.

That's partly because the soldiers on the side of the Kingdom of Veritas have completely broken their hearts, or because they didn't show as if they were trying to invade this one... most of all, I guess, simply because I cared.

My son and I will fight the dragon.

"... wow"

"Oh... really"

Klaus nods in admiration at the words leaking out of Sophia's mouth.

A sword flash running through your sight is going to lose sight in no time if you blink, and it's best to follow the remnants of it.

Moreover, it can also be regarded as marginal because it is thus far apart, and it must be slashed and engraved without knowing what would have happened if it had received it at close range.

He became known as the King of Swords and so on, more than a decade earlier.

I honestly never even imagined it, such as meeting someone I don't think I'd ever rival with a sword arm right now.

... No, is that a lie?

Maybe Klaus understood, vaguely, that one day such a day would come.

I just didn't think that was the time today.

"Honestly, I never thought I'd get this far... no matter how many, I can't believe I can fight that dragon alone"

"... you didn't know?

That was unexpected.

Because I'm talking about Sofia, I just thought it was something that I know most of the time.

"Yeah, I didn't know. Something I shouldn't have known. Even though I heard you defeated one of the Devil's Heavenly Generals, I couldn't imagine it being this far, so it's the same."

"Give me the Demon Heavenly General...? What is that...? This is the first time you've heard of me.

"That's right. It's something that didn't exist publicly. There's no way I can report it. Well, I came here today to teach you that."

"Hmm...... I see"

Defeat the Demon Heavenly General.

That's pretty big news.

On a global scale, of course, even this country will not be immune to its influence.

For example, even if the person who made it does not possess the skills, to the extent that it would be exceptionally admitted.

However, at the same time, it is also an admission to make war with the Demons a great deal.

Needless to say, what will be the priority in that situation?

And actually, Sophia, she did it.

Instead of putting my son on the stage, he gave priority to the country again.

That must be something to be blamed for.

No, it's something you have to blame.

But.

Only Klaus had to support that decision.

"That's a little, don't feel sorry for me. Those stories are what I wanted to hear more slowly. Well, you don't have to doubt it anymore, so maybe this is a good idea."

"... I'll say it often. You didn't have to see this sight, you believed me."

So I shrugged my shoulder because it was actually more likely.

Where there was no such sight, Klaus probably would have believed the story without any doubt.

Because Klaus knew that Soma had so much talent.

That's just what I learned about skills, and it never changed.

Because Klaus knew about those who were not supposed to have the skills, but were far stronger than he was.

That's why Klaus has no reason to be suspicious there... hence.

Klaus, having learned of it, admitted that the existence of Soma would be publicly extinguished.

Nevertheless, that is not due to the fact that Klaus is Sophia's husband, etc.

Because I decided that was reasonable... No.

Because Klaus had a duty to do so.

Actual strength, talent, etc. have nothing to do with it.

Skills or not.

That's all it is.

At least Klaus and the others should not deny it.

That is the duty of one of those who built this country and focused their skills on it.

I'm not going to make excuses.

It was necessary, and even though it was the best, it was the Klaus and the others who chose it.

The responsibility had to be taken.

Even if you're supposed to push the blame on your child.

I mourn that, even if I grieve.

Running away from it is not acceptable.

"Well, still, honestly, I think you're gonna lose."

"Huh... what?

"Just at first glance, you knew who that was, didn't you? I figured it out after I saw your reaction."

Yes, I can recognize Klaus as my son about that obviously suspiciously dressed person... because I saw Sophia's reaction.

At that moment, Klaus cautioned before realizing it.

For some reason I questioned the lack of vigilance, but I gave priority to reason over it.

But while doing so, I also realized that Sophia was not at all alert… I understood everything when I looked into her eyes.

Because I didn't even have to think about who I was looking at.

"Oh...... that's simply because I've been dealing with it longer, isn't it? It's not just the last few years, it's been three years since you were decent with her."

"Sure, but it's..."

I tried to say more words, but there Klaus closed his mouth.

Because I told you, it doesn't mean anything.

It's because you were able to do it right as a mother, etc.

Sophia is more than just an act of scratching now.

"What's that?

"... no, it's nothing"

"... yes"

Is it because I had some conjecture as to what I was going to say?

Sophia turns forward without saying anything, and Klaus turns her gaze back forward so that she can be it too.

The battle, which continues as always, seemed dominant to Soma.

I can't be sure, because, although I do push soma, the other person is a dragon.

It would go without saying again that dragons are not the kind of opponents they could otherwise defeat alone.

First of all, the size of the body is different.

If that's all, the target is just huge, but dragons are not, as a matter of course.

It has so much vitality, it boasts attack and defense.

The scale won't even hurt you if it takes a single blow of 10,000 soldiers, and that blow has more than enough to kill the soldiers in the aftermath alone.

Even if I was able to beat and scratch this attack more often, it would instantly regenerate… just how repetitive it is, it's the same.

Because a man cannot kill a dragon.

Because killing dragons means killing the fantasy of humanity as a whole, part of it.

It's not like killing and tearing up space.

There's no way I can do that on my own.

That should be...

"... I don't know, you're going to beat me like this normally, right?

"Oh... that's what I've been thinking since just now"

The blow unleashed by Soma, instead of the scales of dragons all around it, rips its skin, cutting off its flesh.

Braces and the like were also slashed and torn together, and little by little, the dragon's body had more and more unhealing wounds.

The opposing soma is still intact.

It doesn't seem like you can afford it so much... but still, that move hasn't changed since the beginning.

He is waving the sword of his hand precisely, slashing dragons, and hunting them down.

I wouldn't have thought it was a lie to be heard of defeating General Satanic Heaven... but the sight was actually unbelievable even with my eyes, spread there.

'Duh... stupid... why can't my blow arrive... why am I being slashed and torn apart...!? Impossible... This should not be possible...!

"Even if they say that, it's actually possible, so there's no other way. Give up and be defeated."

'I won't admit it... I won't admit it...! Including that sign you feel... you can never admit it...!

Roar, the dragon attack gets a little intense, but Soma is still the same.

Slash and tear all of that as a matter of course, bringing the dragon closer to death, which should not exist.

"... I knew when this happened, I'd think a little bit."

"Yeah? What?

"This is a dream, isn't it? Because things are too convenient..."

"... sure"

A dragon is about to be killed.

That's enough for me to think so... but most importantly, my son, who we've abandoned, is making it.

Besides, after helping ourselves.

It would be natural in a way to think of it as a dream.

"Uh... you do know exactly what that feels like. I thought the same thing back then."

"Oh, my brother... when your brother helped you, is that it? You don't remember very well because I was passing out at the time...... Mmm, no body, or it's sloppy!

"What am I supposed to do if you tell me that...?

"... might I be a little jealous too? … so."

"How?!?

"We work hard with magic!

"Don't say things like soma!

And that's when I heard that conversation.

I was turning my gaze there for a moment because my son's name came out and... one of those voices was familiar.

And what jumped into my sight was still what I imagined.

Well, it's...

"Uh, Lina......?

"Oh, to my mother, Father, it's been a while!

"No, it's certainly been a long time... why are you here? According to what I've heard, you are..."

"Uh, that's... oh, yeah. I stopped by in the middle of a journey by chance!

"Are you supposed to be curing yourself from illness?

"Is that right? So that's it, because the power that was asleep in the crisis in my homeland woke up and something was done about it."

"At least make some more efforts to hide it..."

"... too cluttered, though I have no choice"

"... I'm not even wrong in a way."

Hearing those words...... no, Klaus rethinks.

Come to think of it, there's Soma.

He had heard that Lina had followed Soma.

Then it was no surprise that Lina was here.

"Though, you shouldn't have had to come here, should you? You can see at a glance that this place is dangerous in many ways."

"Uh, well... he's definitely my brother... and my brother told me to wait for him..."

"... there's no way I can keep him in danger and wait in a safe place. Well, Lina's the only one who thinks she could have waited."

"That's why I'm just a little drunk! See, that's not a problem right now... and anyway, I don't think there's a big difference between us."

"... um, where I came from, maybe nothing can be done, it's all the same.... but I know, I'm here."

"Hmm..."

Turn your eyes to the two girls who added words to make up for Lina, and narrow them.

Though I was slightly surprised that they were two people I didn't recognize and one of them was an elf... they probably came this far with Soma and Lina.

I wondered how that was, but if that's the case, you don't have to be on guard.

He turned his gaze back toward the dragon while worrying about the rear.

"Well, what more can I do than come? It's like all three of us don't get too far from each other. If I can't protect him when something happens, I don't have a face to match him. I can tell you it didn't come from the beginning, but it's just not any more."

"... right"

"Um... I don't know what kind of face to look like, so I don't want you to say that if you can"

"Really?... Well, sure, yeah"

I've just been asked about my parents' stupidity, and they will certainly just be in trouble.

I smile in self-derision at the three of you with indescribable faces.

Perhaps I am more involved than I thought, such as saying this to these children at all.

"Well, protect it, but if that dragon attacks you, either way, you don't seem to be able to do it."

"Oh, I'm not worried about that."

"Oh, why?

"'Cause there's no way he's gonna lose like that."

"... Well, that's why I'm not going to be attacked, and that's why I'm here"

"... I see, that's what you mean"

There is a bitter smile about these three things.

I don't know if I should just think about my son making me say this... well for now -

"It doesn't seem like you can trust me differently."

"Yes? Did you say something?

"No... you wouldn't deserve to say this to us. I'm so proud of him."

"... Yes! Naturally!

Soma's waved blow slashed and skipped the tail of the dragon as she responded to Lina, who grinned and snorted.

HUGE It dances through the universe and dragons cry out for anger.

'Eh... this... this... this...! Here... even for that one's carelessness, here...!

"Well, I know you have a lot of things to do. But hatred is not what I learned. You did something unforgivable. That's one thing that matters to my life. Hence..."

'Not yet... not yet we are...!

"- Come on, fall."

And the dragon, who cried out, struck him with his forefoot, as if he were angry; but until the end, Soma gently sent it.

Step into it, dive right under its head...

??

The whining disappeared in the wind.

It's just that the facts that happened don't disappear... just like the tail ahead, something bigger than that dances through the universe.

It's the head of a dragon.

Indicates that it is immortal. Its torso slowly tilts as if it fits even though it was slashed away.

And.

The fact is shown on the spot that it was defeated precisely by the sound of the earth shaking.

At the same time… it was also a substitute for that signal, which marked the end of this battle.
