When I received the news of the appearance of the witch, I jumped out with a sword and a shield.
I take the dragon knights and head for the border village.
A journey that would take half a day on foot would be quick with a wyvern.
Commander! There’s a witch over there!”
“I know!”
There was a witch in the sky above the village.
That person stands in the sky as if the ground were there.
“. . . Would you like to wait until backup comes?”
“I will set it up right away. We will prevent it from escaping!”
Even among the Dragon Knights, the ones that have come this far are the particularly fast-winged cavalry dragons.
The dragon knights who are behind will probably arrive in a little while, and the Holy Silver Knights are also dispatched.
“Then spread out! Enclose the front, back, left, right, top and bottom!”
“Yes!”
Surround the witch at a distance.
There is no escape anymore.
“Witch Inedit! You are surrounded! Prepare yourself!”
The witch turned her head and looked around at us.
But she doesn’t look upset at all.
Is it the luxury of being strong?
Or is it backed up by true ability?
My father often told me stories about the witch.
However, this is also the first time for me to actually face her.
I look at the woman standing in front of me.
Wearing a black dress with black hair and black eyes, she looks to be in her late twenties.
Six balls of light were floating around the witch.
Round and round without a sound, floating and circling around her.
I had heard about this from my father as well.
This is the manifestation of the witch’s fearsome power.
They are six magical spheres, each containing a different power of earth, fire, wind, water, light, and darkness.
The witch freely manipulates this magic ball and even causes natural disasters.
The witch, who had been staring at us with a melancholy face, opened her mouth reluctantly.
“. . . . . Dragon Knights, huh? But isn’t it a little too reckless to take me on with only 6 dragon knights?”
“Let’s go!”
I pull out the broad sword from its scabbard and take a stance.
I gave the dragon knights under my command a signal, and attacked the witch all at once.
A raging storm blew through the area.
The green magic sphere that controls the wind emits a mysterious light.
In a storm like this, even a wyvern can’t fly as it pleases.
Even so, she was calmly floating in the air, defying the storm.
“This, this. . .!”
One of the frustrated dragon knights launched a strong charge.
However, this time the red magic sphere shines and an explosion of flames attacks the wyvern.
“Uwaaaa!?”
Even though the knight barely managed to avoid a direct hit from the flames, the wings of the cavalry dragon were burned and he fell in a conical shape.
“You! How dare you!”
I skillfully manipulated Harbiston and launched and attack on the witch.
The dragon knights under my command have difficulty even approaching the witch.
In the midst of all that, I was the only one who got to a position where the sword could reach her and fought fiercely.
“. . .You. You seem a little different from the other dragon knights, aren’t you?”
“I’m Shimei Westmar, the leader of the Royal Dragon Knights! Engrave this name in your heart and take it to your grave!”
The witch smiled thinly.
“Commander of the Royal Dragon Knights. And that Cavalry dragon. . . Hmm. Are you that man’s successor?”
“That’s right! My father’s regret, I’ll get rid of it here!”
My father, the previous leader of the Dragon Knights, was an undefeated dragon knight.
With one exception.
Except for the battle with this witch in front of me.
“. . .Is that so. . . his son?”
“My father was forced to withdraw from the front line due to the wounds you inflicted! I will not forgive you!”
I wield my sword violently and manipulate the cavalry dragon.
But the witch is using blazing fire and crushing ice to repel my attacks and intercept me.
The battle gradually took on the appearance of a one-on-one battle.
“. . . It seems that’s far enough.”
The fighting stopped.
The flapping wings of wyverns can be seen in the distance.
It won’t be long before the late knights will arrive.
“A woman with black hair and black eyes. Is it a lost person or a throwback. . .? I’m curious, but it can’t be helped. . .”
The witch begins to retreat.
“Wait! The fight is not over yet!”
I stopped her from leaving.
“. . .Then come after me alone. If you’re prepared for that. But if you’re going to chase me, I won’t show any mercy, you know?”
The witch began to leave again.
I follow after her.
“It’s no good, Commander! It’s frustrating, but the witch is too strong. We should wait here for everyone, restore our formation, and chase after her!”
“Can you say such a leisurely thing! Now is the time to wipe away the disgrace of the previous leader!”
The subordinates are already exhausted.
I have no choice but to chase after her here.
Shaking off the voices of my subordinates who stopped me, I followed the back of the witch and made the dragon flap its wings.
It says that it’s a side story but they are important to the main story. It is only called a side story because it’s a different character’s point of view.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
