I dive through the flames attacking from all directions.
“Hah…!”
I went ahead by myself and attacked the black dragon.
However, the kick of the heavy cavalry dragon and the tip of the sharp sword are blocked by the thick jet-black dragon scales and can’t cause effective damage.
“Damn it! What should I do!?”
I can’t help but get frustrated with it.
We have to break through the situation somehow.
But the dragon’s scales are too hard!
“Commander Shimei! We’ll do it too!”
“Me too!”
“I won’t let the leader do it alone anymore!”
It was the members of the Royal Dragon Knights who shouted.
They should have been afraid of the storm surrounding the black dragon.
But already, they don’t feel scared.
“I’m sorry that we left it to the leader alone until now!”
“Yes, we won’t hold back anymore!”
These guys…
That’s right.
We are the Royal Dragon Knights that the Kingdom of Perel is proud of.
I’m never alone.
“Well said, you guys! Set it up all at once!”
“Yes!”
I breathe in deeply.
I exhale the air accumulated in my lungs with one breath.
“This is the critical moment! Honorable dragon knights! Let’s go!!”
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
In the sky, dragon knights are launching a series of attacks one after another.
The body of the Wyvern ridden by the dragon knights is less than half of the black dragon.
However, due to the momentum of the cavalry dragons surging like a raging wave, the black dragon is also stopped on the spot.
“Deputy Commander Kilkenny! That thing has arrived!”
“It’s finally here!”
What I heard made me raise my voice involuntarily.
But it can’t be helped.
Because the long-awaited trump card against the black dragon has finally arrived.
“Please prepare as soon as possible!”
“It’s already ready!”
“Okay! Let’s go then!”
I may have been able to see the way to live somehow.
I called out loudly to the dragon knights fighting in the sky.
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“……evacuate……! ……Get out of here……!”
I fought desperately.
During the battle, I noticed that the Golden Knights struggling on the ground were shouting something.
“……Dragon knights……! Open the sky…!”
(Is it Kilkenny?)
I noticed it when I looked below.
(……Oh, that is!?)
Is it finally ready!
Hope…
Somehow, with this, hope is coming into view.
“Everyone! Get away from the black dragon!”
I give evacuation orders to the dragon knights who continue to attack without interruption.
The members also noticed the situation and left the place.
――Hyun
At that moment, I heard the sound of the wind.
What came flying is a crossbow.
A large bolt as tall as a person pierces the scales of the black dragon.
――Hyun, Hyun, Hyun, Hyun, Hyun……
It’s not just a single shot.
The arrows that were shot filled the sky and poured down like rain one after another.
“Gruw…”
The black dragon moans.
But it wasn’t just the bolt that hit the dragon’s scales.
There is an explosion as something bursts.
The flying rock hit the dragon at high speed.
It conveys shock to the inside while being shattered.
“……Crossbow, the second shot…… Let it go…!”
“……Catapult, ready for ejection……!”
The hand of attack doesn’t stop.
“……The ram! Get ready…!”
On the ground, the golden knights were pulling the rope that stretched from the battering ram.
“……Let’s go……!”
They start to charge with the wheeled trolly, and hit the black dragon with the weight of a huge hammer.
“Guru-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!!”
The dragon roared unbearably.
Crossbow, catapult, battering ram…
These siege weapons were the decisive anti-black dragon weapons prepared by the Golden Knights.
The Royal Dragon Knights from the sky.
The Golden Knights from the ground.
The black dragon also began to be frightened by the constant waves attack.
However, even if we launch this many attacks, we still can’t give an effective hit to the dragon.
This dragon is too tough.
We can’t give a decisive hit.
But on the contrary, the black dragon has decisive power.
Breath of destruction.
If we are hit by that, the situation will be reversed at once.
“Go, go…! We can push through here…!”
I guess Kilkenny knows that too.
He desperately issued an order and is fighting at the front himself.
“……Gururu……”
The dragon moaned.
The throat starts to turn red.
(……It’s not good!)
The Black Dragon’s gaze was on the siege weapons on the ground.
It’s the only thing that can damage the dragon in this place.
If it is destroyed, we will no longer have a way to stop the dragon’s advance.
The dragon’s throat began to shine brightly.
I’m ready for it instantly and drive the cavalry dragon Herbiston.
“Wah! Let me do it!”
The moment when the breath is released.
I hit the red-hot throat of the black dragon with the calvary dragon.
The dragon’s jaw snaps up.
The released breath flew in the wrong direction.
(Well, I made it in time…!)
I exhale and wipe the sweat on my forehead.
That moment.
A tremendous impact hit my body.
“――ha……”
I can’t breathe.
I was thrown into the air from the cavalry dragon, I look at the dragon.
The black dragon was swinging it’s left arm.
(That … I was blown away, was I …?)
My head is dizzy.
My brain may have been shaken.
The black dragon looked at me when I was thrown into the air.
The vertical pupil catches me.
The dragon’s right hand was raised.
The heinous claws reflect the sunlight.
It’s like slow motion.
The scenery around me flowed out like a highly viscous liquid, and all the sounds disappeared.
(……Ah. ……I see……)
There’s nothing I can do about it here anymore.
(……It’s over for me here……)
Quietly and gently, I closed my eyes.
(Kilkenny… I leave the rest to you……)
My best friend’s face appears on the back of my eyelids.
Then, my father’s face, my mother’s face.
The last face that came to mind was…………
(……Asahi……)
There was a roar in my ear.
The claws of the black dragon are closing in on me as if they will tear me apart.
“Guru-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!!!!”
――!?
My consciousness is brought back by the familiar voice.
The roar now is…
No way…!?
“Guraaaaaaaaaa!!”
I slowly open my eyes.
Then, there is…
There is a dragon wrapped in beautiful pure white scales shining in the sunlight.
Asahi has finally arrived! Only a few more chapters left.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
