Chapter 1 (1/2)

The End of Certain Swordsman

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation)

A man suddenly realized that he was lying on his back.

What spread in his sight was a blue sky, and if he tried to reach for it, it felt like he got it.

It was a beautiful fine weather.

Was such a thing happened because it pa.s.sed through his mind?

While thinking that, the man inadvertently reached out, but… failed.

For some reason, his arm wasn’t moving.

He was questioning himself, why there was such a thing–…

[–Splendid, human.] (??)

When he looked toward the sudden voice heard, there was a huge mountain over there.

Nope, with that degree, he couldn’t think anything else but something huge.

And the man finally remembered when looking at it.

He was wondering of what he had been doing… and why it became like this.

“Hmmm… it seems that I have somehow win.” (??)

[…I guess so. You are not losing even a limb, but look at my situation. There is no doubt. It’s your win.] (??)

The voice wasn’t only heard from the huge one.

It was rolling right there, and where compared to it, the sound from it was too small.

The huge one was its body, while the small one was its head.

However, this was a persistently talk to the bitter end, that the small one was bigger than the man.

When looking at such a thing, the man let out a sigh.

“…Well, to be honest, I don’t really feel that I have won. And you haven’t died. By the way, how can we speak even in such a state?” (Man)

[Hmm… Isn’t because I am a dragon? Furthermore, I am standing at the top among them. Since this is the case, I will not die easily. And in the first place, I am not talking to you with my vocal cords. I don’t have need for such a feature.] (Dragon)

Yes, it was a dragon.

With that exaggerated imitation, it wasn’t done by any imposter.

The thing was his existence was one of the few mysteries.

When looking at the sky, the human was fascinated. But he was embraced by fear again.

There were strongest symbols of desperation and misery.

It was ridiculous, but it hadn’t died even though its neck was severed, and he understood that well.

“Oh dear… you’re a troublesome superfluous existence. This is out of common sense in many ways. If your neck has been cut off, just die.” (Man)

[Are you saying especially when I am killed by the hand of a human? Instead of me, you are the one with lack of common sense. Normally, it would be impossible to reach me with that blade as well as killing me.] (Dragon)

“Well, that’s because I challenged you. To know whether my sword has reached the degree that I expected.” (Man)

Right, although a dragon is an existence that brought calamity to human, the man didn’t challenge him for that particular reason.

It was the worst among the worsts.

A dragon among dragons.

It was call the Dragon King among human and the reason he went there was simply to fight him. He just wanted to test.

Testing his forged body and his swordsmans.h.i.+p.

He was called the world strongest, so there was a self confidence but was he testing as expected?

Had he arrive at the top of the swordsmans.h.i.+p?

To answer that question, that was the reason why he fought the dragon.

[And the outcome has come out. Your sword has reached even my degree. With that body, you have been trained well.] (Dragon)

“…Is that so? Did I finally arrive at the top of the swordsmans.h.i.+p?] (Man)

[Hmm… I recognized that. No doubt that you have arrived. That’s why you could kill me.] (Dragon)

He felt that everything was rewarded by that words.
