We Live in Dragon’s Peak
On the way home.
"Hey, Mistral"
"What?"
On the way back to the village of the Ear Long clan. In the woods, look back at the battle with the baboons.
"It was an earlier battle. Was Mistral doing everything he could?
"Why?"
"Somehow. Somehow, Mistral seemed to be relieving."
"Which neighborhood?
"'Cause look. Mistral has a special attack that even crushes his grandfather's scales, but it's the last time he's done it."
"Right. But I wonder if giving out moves means everything."
"What do you mean?
"Yeah, before I give you an answer. First of all, did you feel anything in this fight?
"Yep. Not at all."
"What?
"I've been learning dragon sword dance from my grandfather, and I've been learning dragon art from Mr. Zildo. I couldn't take advantage of it at all this time."
"Which neighborhood?
"Because dragon art is too powerful if you use it, and it damages even the forest, so you can't use it. And the dragon sword dance could not dance properly at the loss of the baboon's mass."
"Sure, it felt like the baboon hit too hard to dance and flush it out."
"Yeah. You can attack, but you can't defend. Then you can't take it to the dance stream."
"Slash and recieve as you dance. That's the Dragon Sword Dance."
"Yes, yes. And this time, I was crushed, and I had no place to be."
Mistral laughs at me for dropping his shoulder.
"But when you pair with me, you've been clever these days. I'm certainly not as powerful as a baboon, but I'm going to punch in pretty hard."
"That's right. Mistral's heavy blow is starting to come through."
"The baboons and me. I don't know what the difference is."
"Attack with flesh, attack with weapons, maybe."
"I can recieve an attack with a weapon, but I can't recieve it if I get hit directly?
"At least it was this time."
If you attack someone with a Mistral or a weapon, you can change the target's attack trajectory by changing the angle of the sword when receiving it, or by passing on power. No matter how heavy a blow, it won't be so bitter if it flushes, and the dragon sword dance mould won't collapse.
But a direct attack like this baboon, close to physical fights, could not flow cleverly. Normally, if I take it with a blade, I think the other person will only get hurt unilaterally.
"You pushed your opponent's temper."
"Um, maybe so"
"Perhaps when you pair with me, you are a little used to it. I don't think so, because every blow is uniform power."
"Maybe there is."
In a bad way, Mistral's attacks are easy to absorb. She's giving me a hand, and like I was told, she doesn't exasperate killing.
And I, too, was unconsciously diminished in fear because of the mating.
But not this time. Maybe I was on the run because of the real killer and the power of the wrong digits.
Speak self-analysis.
"Were you scared this time, even though you could fight the Demons with your weapons?
"Yeah, you're very different. Even when I was fighting Louis Lara, I was scared, but I was suppressed. But today, I may have taken the first blow and been frightened by the pain and surprise."
"You did enjoy the first surprise. That's when the warriors ran upset and were about to fit in during the opponent's surgery."
Warcraft is really cunning. Always thinking about how to become a battlefield in your favor and how to fit and flaunt your opponent.
But your provocation saved me.
"That one is. Because I didn't want to fight in a psychological state in favor of baboons."
With the unintended strike of the baboons, me and the warriors stood up. Keep fighting, I think it was the pot the baboons thought it was.
That's why I provoked you with such deliberate words. It exasperates the baboons and deprives them of their calm judgment. If you get angry, the attack will be monotonous, and when you're at a disadvantage, you do armor, etc., and I thought you'd get away with it and never lose sight of it.
"Taunt is one of those fine tactics. So there's no way you could have done it at all. And you're not the one who created the trigger for the attack."
"The white sword's slaughter tastes like it."
"Having a good weapon is a sine qua non for being a good warrior."
"Yeah. I'm thankful for Grandpa."
Even if you have great combat skills, if you lose your weapon, you can't unleash your original power.
I think my dragon sword dance comes alive because of the slashing taste of the white sword and the endurance of the wooden knife of the spirit tree.
"So, I wonder how my first question connects to this move."
"Hehe. It's still early. One more question from the current flow. Indeed, you were unable to absorb the baboon attack this time. But I was out of it. Why?"
"Mm-hmm. Actually, that's what I was wondering, too"
If I had been accustomed to fighting a few more flesh-bomb subjects, I might have been able to absorb the attack. But no matter how used I was to fighting, I don't think they were taking the attack directly from the front.
Mistral is an excellent warrior, but he looks like a woman. So, he's not as muscular as Zan. Whatever you think, you don't look like you can take a baboon rush with one thin arm of Mistral, do you?
Could Mistral actually weigh a lot? I've never had a hug, but it's heavier than a baboon, so I could stand it without being blown away... is that right?
"Elnea, your gaze is nasty. I don't see people with weird eyes."
"Ugh, sorry"
Apparently, unconsciously, I stared at Mistral's entire body.
"Maybe you didn't think I was heavier than a baboon."
"Oh, I didn't think so. It's true."
Danger. Can Mistral read people's minds, like the Dragon tribe of ancient species? I almost got a merciless hammer at stake.
"But I really don't know why Mistral was attacked or blown away."
"Really?"
"It's really true."
Mistral looks at me like I'm in trouble.
"If that happens, you haven't."
And they laughed bitterly.
"Ugh, maybe I'm missing something big."
"Right. Maybe that's your next challenge."
"Wow, is that right? I was going to practice working with everyone next."
"I think collaboration will be important in the future, but this is a more priority issue."
Am I strong, weak? If you think you were crossing each other with a black-armed demon swordsman or a senior demon Luilara, the challenge emerges, like this one.
"You are strong against people who confront you from the front, one-on-one. But there's still a time when you can't move as much as you might think."
Indeed. I have little experience in battles against multiple. That's why I was trying to learn to collaborate, but other than that, there were still weaknesses Mistral pointed out.
"Talk to Ong when you get back"
"Yeah, you are."
I'm a little depressed. 'Cause I've been training a lot, I've been recognized a lot, and I've just gotten a little confident. Yet I can't believe there are still many challenges.
"Hehe, don't be so depressed. You're strong enough, and you can be confident. It's just that the ingenuity of battle is something you can't get overnight."
Mistral leans on me and encourages me.
"Yes. With us who have been fighting for 500 years, every time we fight, challenges arise. Same thing this time. mishandled and struggled with the less effective opponent of the attack"
Mr. Carly, who was walking by, came into the conversation.
"It's not like you've never encountered a baboon in the past, and you've fought more terrible warcraft than a baboon many times. But even Non and others struggle with time and in some cases. It's good to have challenges every time you fight. Fear when the challenge is gone, and the horror of growth is gone."
Astra talks to me gently as she walks with the girl of the Spirit of the Wind.
"It's true despair when you see someone who stops growing and still can't win. When you have a challenge, rejoice that you can still grow."
"Right. We need to reflect on the battle, but it's important to find challenges and overcome weaknesses from there."
"That's right. That's how people get stronger."
"I guess I'll catch up with Mistral someday"
"I'm still growing up, too."
"Gutsy. You can stop for a little while."
"If we stop, will you catch up soon?"
"Rather, I might outrun you"
"Oh, that's exciting."
"Ha ha, Ernea is positive"
"Catch up with Princess Dragon and chase him through. By then, it was beyond the Dragon King's vessel."
"If you're stronger than Princess Dragon, aren't you the Dragon King?
"Because the title above the Dragon King is Dragon Princess."
"If you ask me, yes."
There's a sequence in the title, right? Because there was originally a title of Dragon King, stronger than anyone with that title, and there was a woman with merit, Old Sleighsta created a new title of Dragon Princess. Tell me, Dragon King is only the lower title of Dragon Princess. So if the Dragon King surpasses the Dragon Princess, it will no longer be the Dragon King.
"I'm expecting you to be the first of the new titles."
"Geez, that's a lot of pressure."
I may be moving towards a hell of a goal. [M]
On the difficult journey ahead, Mistral and the Ear Elders were laughing at each other when they saw me in awkwardness and panic.
"By the way, I haven't answered my question yet."
At some point, the topic shifted to my future assignment, but I haven't heard the key part.
"Don't know?
"Sorry, I surrender"
"Heh heh, that's the only way. I mean, I couldn't make a move because I was under attack by baboons."
"Were you full of baboon attacks?
"Right. He was turning Dragon Air into a defense."
"Ah!"
Is that what you mean? When I came here, I found out the truth.
Mistral used dragon air and was under attack by baboons. If I shake dragon qi to physical ability, I ask for speed. Dragon Sword Dance is because the faster you move, the more effort and power you gain.
But was Mistral turning the dragon air to defense and offsetting the power of the baboon's onslaught?
And big enough to defeat the baboons' defenses, they couldn't let go in defense.
The last time you lay on the ground due to the attack of the Ear Elders, you turned from defense to attack and made your move.
"Apparently, you've got the answer. Sometimes we have to defend ourselves."
"This time Mistral took the baboon attack all by himself, so we were able to attack."
"That's what's gonna happen."
"This is one collaboration, isn't it?"
"Of course I am. I was very defensive, believing that you and the warriors would attack me."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"But..."
"Hmm?"
"I knew you didn't give it all, did you?
To my question hehe, Mistral just gave me an inclusive smile and didn't answer it.
