The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

Prologue before assembly ①

"I have nothing more to teach you. Forgiveness, everyone."

Aliante told him with majesty, like a master.

In retrospect, it wasn't long. When I first visited you, I thought you were the only fucking kid in the world, but that's not how far I've gotten.

"What's a pardon, everyone! It's probably still the real deal from here!

I didn't know you had any talent.

It is Liot, who has completed a full course for entrants to the Alliante Dojo, who is softly barking objections in front of him.

It is not such a long period of training.

Still, if you're any talented at all, it's something that sprouts one scale as a warrior after many imminent death experiences.

But.

"Look at this! I trained you in magic with the intention of dying and you're still like this!

As Liot roared with blue muscles on his temples, a patchy spark emerged from his fingertips.

A spark smaller than when you tap a firestone. Clearly, it is a garbage-like fire magic. Besides, I only used it once and it keeps my shoulders up and down a lot.

"I don't have the qualities of a magician. It's a big deal that you can use just a little bit of magic now. Come on, give up already and go home and spend the rest of your life."

"Who's going home like that?"

Aliante sighed.

Of course, I'm not seriously saying exemptions, etc. It is a measure in the wake of the fact that the power of the raccoon has reached an extraordinary area.

The next time Laeko runs wild, the world will surely end.

If that's the case, you can't let this unwatched fucking kid come into contact with Ravendia. I was going to remind him that he wasn't talented and make him give up.

- But persistent in vain.

It is true that there is no talent. Among the historical apprentice applicants who have visited under the gates of Aliante, he is the # 1 Worst in Bukkiri. Perhaps even if you spend the rest of your life training, you'll finally be able to hunt one low-level demon.

"... ok. If you don't give up, I won't dare stop you. But if you dare to assure me, no matter how much you train ahead, it won't reach Ravendia."

It is a lie.

Maybe even now, I can kill that harmless lizard normally. Needless to say, something terrible awaits after that.

The strength of 'Leavendia', as assumed by Aliante, belongs precisely to Lecco.

"That is beyond the realm where humans can manage in training. Even if you borrowed massive amounts of powerful magic and spiritual power, it would be water on the baking stone. I don't think I can scratch one."

"... I heard from the city people that the master has a demeanor. Still can't do that?

"Mistress is not such a big deal." Great moves when it comes to this place "is a pragmatic skill. It's an extension of the basic moves I usually use."

"Normal moves?

Alliante takes the sword that was on the wall of the dojo. This is my favorite training sword for disciples - not damaging (originally for torture).

Is it traumatic, or just gripping the pattern pulled Liot back with tremendous momentum.

"What. I didn't take it to hit you. Use this guy and slash yourself in the head."

"... what?

"If you don't like it, you don't have to. I taught you how to master it."

"No, you're up to it! If you're proud!"

Liot grabbed the sword he offered with both hands and waved it down to his own brain with that blade.

"Guh! It hurts... isn't it the same pain as usual? What's the difference?"

Liot falls with screams.

It usually just stretches to shock for a while, and it shouldn't actually scratch...

"What, that? Are you bleeding?

Now there was a glimmer of blood coming from Liot's forehead. Minor injuries are minor, but they do damage well. Though it almost completely eliminates the sharpness of the blade and has a mechanism to absorb shock, this sword is inherently capable of inflicting minimal scratches as well.

"The extension of technology that won't hurt you with one scratch, no matter how much you use that sword, is the ultimate in my moves. Well, if you understand, you should try it."

"You won't tell me after all..."

"Fool. This stuff is only worth it if you understand it yourself. It may not extend to Ravendia, but it's quite a move, if you will."

Liot, who was also used to bleeding, wiped his blood immediately with a cloth removed from his nostrils.

I failed to make him give up. Then we will have to buy time in the form of training as we have done so far. It will remain in this city for some time yet by deliberately giving expectations to the depths with a roundabout explanation.

Leaving Liot in the dojo, who began to roll his enthusiasm for a new goal in his eyes, Alliante pulled back in and started packing.

We're going to go to the Cave of the Hunting God and rendezvous with Ravendia.

I want information on the Demon King's Army, so I plan to have Doradora accompany me. Of course, we intend to minimize contact with each other so that problems do not arise (mainly with Laeko).

"No! I'm looking forward to it! I don't think it's been a while since I've seen Mr. Lizard."

At that time, water burst out of the sink faucet.

It is the Virgin of Saelen who gathers and forms the water that erupts.

Since Perudona began to draw the water of Saelen, if you have time like this, you will come to Ariante for nothing.

"... Virgin. You're not called, are you?

"What are you saying! I'm a demon, too, and I've been solicited by the Demon King's Army, and I think it's an indispensable resource if we're going to have a future operational meeting. And I want to take a lot of vegetables for my souvenir."

"That's fine, but pick a good vegetable, not a scum vegetable. If you touch my daughter's scales, it's over."

By the way, I haven't told the Virgin that Raco's magic power has multiplied 343.2 million times.

Because if I tell him, that shock alone could kill him. So I really want to leave him, but he is willing to follow me.

He seems like a talker, so he probably sees it like a reunion.

I do not originally expect new information or useful suggestions from this Virgin.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Alliante,"

"What?

Replying on her back as she packed, the Virgin continued like a public discourse.

"I remembered about Mr. Lizard, do you know an animal called a Tisan Catali Lizard?
