"By the way, what is Princess Ryu's ritual after all?
After that, I ended up accepting Mr. Lune's apprenticeship.
Even so, we have our own home, so Mr. Lune's apprenticeship was limited in time.
And the next day, on the road to Longfeng to test Mr. Lune's strength, Mr. Liliera spoke of his doubts since then.
"Huh? Oh, yes. Princess Ryu's ritual is like a festival passed down to this country."
"Festival?
"Yes, we talked about Princess Ryu and Emperor Ryu yesterday, didn't we? Princess Ryu's ritual is a festival about both of you."
As long as it takes place, you two are the stars of the sad love story that will be passed on to this country.
Then it's not strange to be chosen as the subject of the festival.
"But what does that have to do with your training? Something about yesterday made me feel like I had to be strong to get into Princess Ryu's ritual."
Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
Yesterday's rhune, Princess Ryu's ritual sounded more like a slaughter ritual.
"Uh, Princess Ryu's ritual is a festival about your two love stories, but its content is also a militant competition that determines the strongest woman."
"" "" "" Front and rear are not connected!? "" ""
"No, no, no, no, no, why is the sad love story the strongest militant tournament to decide!?"
Mina has the best scratch.
Honestly, I have no idea why that is happening. [M]
"Yes, this festival is a festival where the two of you, separated in battle, will one day be reborn and reconnected in peaceful times."
Yeah, that's good. I can see that far.
"And yet why is it a martial arts tournament?
"That's right, Princess Ryu is the last Dragon Knight in this country to follow the dragon and fight together. So the mayor of the town hundreds of years ago decided that the woman as Princess Ryu, who participates in the dragon emperor play that serves as the festival Ootri, should be the strongest woman. Then, the woman who played the role of Princess Ryu decided not by her beauty or acting skills, but by her strength, and the militant tournament began to be held as a way of doing so."
"" "" "" Its mayor not too annoying!? "" "
"Hi, I think I used it as a town hall to celebrate a plain festival. In fact, at the time, the festival, which we only enjoyed in the town, began to attract more participants from outside in search of the strongest names."
Um, the way I see it, is that you were competent as a business owner?
"And as the descendant of the Dragon Knight who will be joined by Princess Dragon, I want the world to know its strength with a brilliant victory over the ritual of Princess Dragon. To exalt that the Dragon Knight is not doomed and that the blood of the Knight is still inherited!
Since it is a festival that hustles about the strength of our ancestors as long as it becomes possible, it means that our descendants cannot face their ancestors unless they win.
While we were talking like that, we reached Dragon Peak, which we use as a place to train.
"Well, before we start training, let's start by measuring Mr. Lune's strength."
"Wow, is that my strength?
"Yes, because in order to train efficiently, we need to make sure Mr. Lune has the right strength."
"Well, I know that...... then you shouldn't have bothered to come all the way to Dragon Peak, shouldn't you have done it near town? This is Dragon territory!?"
That being said, Mr. Lune looks around anxiously.
He seems anxious to see when the dragon will strike.
Nevertheless, I don't have that much to worry about.
"It's okay. This area is still the entrance to Dragon Peak, and all they attack are junior dragons."
The dragons seem to have noticed the intruder as well, and the demonic reaction detected by exploratory magic approaches.
"Yes, no, that's not what I meant, I mean, it's a bad idea to be a dragon even at lower levels!?"
"Oh, look, I'm here."
"Hih!?"
While I was saying this, the Green Dragons came this way.
I'm here...
"Is that it?"
For some reason, the Green Dragons stopped approaching us and started wandering faraway.
"What the hell is wrong with you?
Is it some kind of operation?
"... Isn't that scared of Mr. Rex?
If I was surprised by the actions of the Green Dragons, Mr. Liliera began to say that.
Scared of me?
I don't think the Green Dragon has the wisdom to see the strength of the opponent.
"'Cause you knocked down the Golden Dragon during this time, Mr. Rex. Golden dragons are the strongest of dragons, aren't they? Then would your men attack the boss of the group?
Oh, well, speaking of which, it sounds like the Golden Dragon in the meantime was wrapping up herds around here.
But it was his kid's dragon.
"Well, then I'll hide myself for a bit."
That said, when I hide in the shadows, I activate the magic of invisibility.
"Invisible Field!"
And when I blinked the dragons' eyes, they came back to you all with nothing to eat.
"Huh? That? Where did Master Rex go?!?"
Because I disappeared, Mr. Lune anxiously looked around and looked for me.
"I'll be here."
"Hih!? Huh? Ah? Huh!? Where is it?!?"
Mr. Lune doesn't even realize I'm right next to him, and he looks around.
"We're magically hiding ourselves so the dragons can easily attack us. Oh, I just got here."
"Magic!? I've heard such magic... whack!?"
The Green Dragons started to move because I couldn't see.
Damn, they're cash guys, right?
"Cah!!"
With the Green Dragon attacking, Mr. Lune rushes away.
"Mr. Lune, if you don't fight properly, you won't be able to make it."
"I can't, I can't! I can't even fight Wyburn properly!
With that said, Mr. Lune avoids the Green Dragon attack.
Um, I don't think I can fight that far when I feel like I'm watching that body twitch.
"Mr. Rex, why don't you do some defensive magic for now? I think it would be easier to fight if I knew it was okay to get hurt."
and Ms Liliera gives me nice advice while fighting the Blue Dragon.
It's like putting on protective equipment and training with a wooden knife.
"Call us later, too."
Huh? I don't think Mr. Liliera and the others need it anymore.
"Please, brother!
"Please, Lex!
"Please, Mr. Rex!
"Say hello."
Everyone wants defensive magic for some reason.
It's worrying.
"All right, area high protection!
The defensive magic I unleashed engulfs everyone, and there is a magical protection in that body.
"Huh? What is this!?"
Mr. Lune raises a bewildered voice at the defensive magic that hangs on him.
"It's defensive magic. Now you can fight with no damage if the Black Dragon is about to attack."
"Huh? Defense? Blackdra...... Ugh!?"
Turning this way, Mr. Lune, whose soles were lost, accidentally falls in the pebble at his feet.
"You..."
"Mr. Lune, the Green Dragon is coming!
"Huh... Huh!? Cahhhhhh!?"
When the Green Dragons struck Mr. Lune, who fell, he slammed his sharp, big nail into Mr. Lune.
"CAAAAAAH!!... is that it? Does it hurt?"
But the Green Dragons' claws were defensively enchanted. They didn't work on Mr. Lune, and some of the Green Dragons attacked them? and had his neck clenched.
"Uh... eh? Why?"
"It's within now! Attack the Green Dragon while it has Defensive Magic effects!
"Huh? Oh, yes! Oh, my God!
Attack the Green Dragon with the spear that Mr. Lune had in his hand, which returned to me in my voice.
Bassi!
But Mr. Lune's spear was bounced without penetrating the Green Dragon scale.
"This! This!
However, no matter how many times you attack, you cannot penetrate the Green Dragon scale.
"Funny, as far as corporal punishment is concerned, I think it works well enough for the Green Dragon."
Could this be... I guess it's because of you?
When I pull my sword out of my sheath, I throw it at Mr. Lune.
"Mr. Lune, use this!
"Huh? Yikes!? The sword suddenly appeared!? Why!?"
Oh, you seemed to see a sword suddenly appearing in the air in Mr. Lune's eyes when he moved away from my hand using hidden magic.
"Come on, try and fight with it!
"I don't know, but I get it!
When Mr. Lune switches weapons, he does not hesitate to head for the Green Dragon.
It looks like defensive magic is eliminating the fear of damage and eliminating the loss of movement.
That's a good trend.
"I'm not used to having a sword in between, but at this distance! Huh!"
Once again, Mr. Lune makes the attack, but the Green Dragon doesn't even show any signs of evasion.
We couldn't scratch ourselves in spite of all the attacks we've made, so we thought we didn't have to be wary of each other to the extent that it was a little stiff.
That was literally alarming.
Mr. Lune's sword entered the forefoot of the Green Dragon without any resistance, severing its leg so as to slip.
A green dragon who has lost one leg falls to the ground out of balance shortly after understanding the situation.
"Huh? What? What just happened?
Yeah, I knew it.
"Mr. Lune's failure to defeat the Green Dragon was caused by a weapon."
"The weapon? What do you mean...?
When I take the spear Mr. Lune threw out and check the blade tip condition, I peel the scales off the green dragon that was nearby.
And using that scale, I sharpened Mr. Lune's spear blade tip.
"Mr. Lune, try fighting the dragon with this spear again!
I throw an improvised sharpened spear at Mr. Lune.
"Huh? Oh, yes! I get it!
When Mr. Lune, who received the spear, gets used to it, he turns to the Green Dragon.
I knew a weapon I could handle would be easier to fight.
"Huh!!"
With a flash of temper, Mr. Lune's waving spear easily ripped the green dragon scales, ripping its torso brilliantly to the end.
"Ugh, lie!? This is my spear!?"
Mr. Lune is surprised when he rounds his eyes to see if the spear in his hand is really his weapon.
"Until now, the blade tip was almost crushed, and it was more like a blunt instrument than a spear."
Of course, if you improve your ability to kill with enhanced magic, you can fight with this spear.
The spear itself seems sturdy there, so it looks fine for dealing with ordinary demons.
"Maybe, but I think the master who let Mr. Lune inherit that spear deliberately gave it to him with the blade crushed"
"Oh, what!? Why did you do that?"
I'm surprised how Mr. Lune said he couldn't believe it.
Well, you don't think your master would deliberately give you a weapon in a bad state, do you?
"This is my prediction, but I think Mr. Lune's master wanted his apprentice to be able to survive under any circumstances. For example, when a weapon cannot be used properly..."
During my training in my previous life, when I suddenly thought my master had given me a bottle of iron stick, I wondered if I could use this to survive on a deserted island for a month or something.
"Well, does that mean you can be stronger so you can fight even if you can't use your weapon?
"Or you wanted me to be able to take care of this spear perfectly on my own,"
"Your father did that... I thought it was because I was so immature that I couldn't use this spear..."
"You didn't take care of that spear yourself, did you?
"Or ask a blacksmith to take care of it."
Yeah, especially what you guys say, Gyro.
I don't think a warrior can take care of his own weapon, and you should ask a worst blacksmith.
"Uh, if it's a practice spear, I took care of it myself and also used it to exorcise demons. I just didn't get to cut this spear properly no matter how much I took care of it. I asked many blacksmiths to take care of it, but for some reason, I asked no one to cut it at all. So I thought this spear must have a special use for defeating dragons."
As serious as it gets, you can't think of any other cause.
But I'm relieved. The reason for this is only the problem of taking care of the weapon, and even though I lost my virtue, I didn't think there was any reason why the descendants of the Dragon Knight could not beat the Green Dragon.
With a decent weapon, even newcomers should be able to defeat it normally around the Black Dragon without any problems!
"Um, by the way, how did you get this spear to work? In this short time, too."
"Oh, that bothers me, too"
Megli and the others join the conversation as they hunt for dragons.
We've all got a lot of room.
"Oh, I used a green dragon scale instead of a grinding wheel."
"Oh yeah!? Dragon scales on the grinding wheel!?"
"Yeah, dragon scales can not only be a material for equipment, they can also be used as tools like grinding wheels. Familiar craftsmen can lightly process the dragon scales they pick up and transform them into improvised tools."
Well, it's improvised, so you can guess the quality of care for it, so I figured you should ask for proper care later.
"Shh, it's amazing! I can't believe the scales I picked up make it so far so sharp! The boulder is the Dragon Emperor!
"No, because I'm not a dragon emperor. Besides, it's definitely better to ask a decent blacksmith who's an expert than a clever poor guy like me to do."
"" "" "No, I don't think that's possible." "
Is that it? Mrs Liliera and I ate a scratch for some reason.
"More than that, you must tell me how to take care of that dragon scales! I want to know how to take care of grinding wheels without needing them!
Mr. Megli seems intrigued by the way he takes care of things without spending money.
"My brother can do anything for real! This is really awesome!
No, no, you can't do anything, Mr. Gyro.
And that was then.
The dragons around him suddenly started dancing in the sky and taking distance.
At the same time, the air of Dragon Peak turns into a swordswallowing one.
"Huh? What!?"
Liliera and the others feel the air and become more alert.
"This is... the herd of dragons is approaching"
When I checked the reaction of the dragons around me with exploratory magic, they were slowly approaching as they surrounded us.
It's just oddly slow for that.
It's like a human walking unnatural slow.
"Something's wrong. Attention, everyone!
"Wow, I get it!
"You've never seen my brother be vigilant like that..."
"Well, I guess it's forbidden to be alarmed."
"Oh, you know, is something going on!? Maybe you should run away!?"
Indeed, escape is one option in the sense of an element of uncertainty.
But we are only here to train at this Dragon Peak.
"Mr. Lune, if you want to be a first-rate dragon knight, you have no choice but to escape the dragon."
"Huh!?"
Mr. Leune has a problem with my words. [M]
Yes, those who become dragon knights must be able to defeat and obey the dragon.
Therefore, if a powerful dragon is to come, it is rather the possession of the Dragon Knight that confronts it head-on.
Well, I'm not a dragon knight, so I have no problem running away at all.
When I unlock the hidden magic, I can retrieve the weapon I lent Mr. Lune.
"It's up to you, Mr. Lune, to decide. What will you do?
In my words, Mr. Leune gave the look of a prowl for a moment, but soon his eyes filled with determination.
"I've never even been able to defeat Wyburn. But not long after I met you, I was able to defeat the Green Dragon. I know it's a weapon force, but I can still do things I couldn't do. So..."
Mr. Lune speaks the words of readiness.
"Please. Train me... so I can fight dragons!
Yeah, that's settled.
"Okay. So what if I start full-time training now? This will be a practical form of training, but keep up the good work."
"Wow, I get it!
Mr. Leune's resolve is consolidated, and we prepare to intercept the approaching dragons.
"You'll heal your wounds with healing magic and restore your magic and strength, too. And with enhanced magic, I'll be able to improve my physical abilities."
Although it is a training, this time the enemy moves oddly as well.
So welcome depression in full condition.
"I'll be here soon!
Shining wings appear in silver from across the land.
"What color is that wing...!?"
And a dragon appeared covered with silver scales all over his body.
"Silver Dragon!
"What!? Silver Dragon is the strongest class dragon that says it's strong next to that golden dragon!?"
Yes, it was the NO2 silver dragon in the dragon world, as Lune said, that showed up before us.
"Wow... I thought I'd die in the meantime, but it's tough this time..."
While Mr. Liliera and the others are sweating fat, they still don't break their weapons.
Yeah, looks like you've all got the guts to fight the Golden Dragon in the meantime.
"Duh, duh, what shall we do... Shi, it's a silver dragon... I can't believe we were in the territory of the most prized silver dragon in the dragon... wow, we're dead..."
That's an exaggeration, Mr. Lune.
If it's about a silver dragon, I don't think you need to be so vigilant.
"And I just wanted to say, something's wrong with you."
Yes, that silver dragon was strangely murderous.
Surely it is understandable that some of the dragons, especially the prized silver dragons, will not allow their opponents to come into their own territory.
But the killing spirit of the silver dragon in front of me just didn't look very angry getting into the territory.
Besides, that slow-moving speed... I'm worried about the other enemy that's just approaching right now.
"Everybody be careful, fate is not this silver dragon! I'm coming!
And, to answer my concern like that, another reaction appeared that was slowly approaching the Silver Dragon.
"" "" "" "Ew!!" "" "
Zurizuli.
Jitter, jitter, jitter.
"... Huh?
What showed up there was a golden dragon figure, desperately trying to escape, but forced to drag me by many of my fellow dragons.
"" "" "" "" "What are you talking about?
