Chapter 31 (2/2)
This dragons jousting tourna three matches on a one-on-one basis
The first one ith a spear, then with an axe or hammer, finally a match with a sword
Of course, it was not enough for the dragon knights to just go all out, they needed to win according to the game-specific rules
shi+elds were attached on three points: the left shoulder of the rider, the left chest of the dragon, and the left rear of the saddle
If they hit their weapon on one of those shi+elds, they would earn one win
If they fell from the saddle or dropped their weapon, it would be their opponent's win
The first one to score tins or made their opponent faints would advance to the next round
After bowing, they gripped the long spear with their whole right ar stance
The two dragons of black and brass blowed up cloud of dust as they leaped, caught the ith their huge wings and rose sharply
”It seems that it has started”
”Hou This is……just by looking at his round, I think that he's not an ordinary person”
”What do you mean? Your Majesty?”
I asked the King as bri with atmosphere that he wanted to explain it no matter what
”Yeah Ericjousan Dragon is a creature that is easy to reflect the hting”
”Yes”
”Look at that, the shakiness of the neck of the black dragon is sht? That Blackcurrant is a dragon with calm temperament, but it is rare that she trusts such first-time rider so much”
”Is that so……”
Auguste, somehow you were immensely praised by your father
Or rather, I ondering how did his riding ability became better this quickly
No way, had he already fused with the contract beast?
While I was feeling anxious, thethe climax
The dragons entangled the several times in the air like a tornado
Just by chasing the shades of black and brass that changed places quickly, I became dizzy
Soon, both of them abruptly took a distance from each other
Both riders threay their spear, pulled out the second weapon that was attached to the saddle, and took the stance for either axe or hammer and bowed
A shi+eld that broke into tas falling, I didn't knohose was it
Which one of them won?
”I do not think that he is a young boy, he is quite skilled with spear, Your Majesty”
”Umu That feint when they clashed their spears for the third tiht is able to do Perhaps he is a fa”
”It was admirable that the one that broke was the shi+eld of the saddle”
”That was very thrilling I thought that the Black Knight was aion's chest Instead he turned around and swooped down from that posture and struck the rear”
Otou-sahtfully about their first impressions
When I looked for the aforementioned saddle that turned up in the conversation, I realized that the shi+eld behind the saddle of the brass dragon was gone
That uste who took the first win
”Ericojousan You may wish to take a momentary break and look over the match area as a whole If you stared too closely, it will be rather difficult to catch the battle flow”
”Thank you very much, Your Majesty”
The King who seemed to have read my complexion whispered into my ear
Although the second match was about to start, I consciously tried to calm my mind and spread my horizons a little
Certainly, this tiht be easier to see their movements than the first match
Blackcurrant that Auguste rode on, soraceful as a s, nie build, barely grazing it in passing
She wasin a way that made me nervous
As if Auguste integrated his whole body into the dragon and beca, he breathed in sync with her and aimed at the opponent's rider
Every tion's rider’s balance would be thrown off
However, Auguste was stable as if the saddle and his lower body were stuck together
”It is a bold, aggressive turn froon, there are not many riders who even come close to have that kind of capability”
”Is that so, Your Majesty?”
”Umu That's because the on Nothing is on to feel a sense of absolute security, not toat the very last moment……Oh! Look at that, Ericojousan! Now he performs a backward somersault that seems to twine around his opponent!”
King Ignitia kept watching the battle floith raising exultation like a child
It seeht Auguste
It was not unreasonable
There was an indescribable beauty about his fight
Even I ithout knowledge, thought that his way of fighting was cool
Couldn't bear the fierce attack, the opponent knight finally dropped his axe
The match was over
The cheers frouste in disguise
The knight of the brass dragon took off his helmet and raised one hand in surrender
Auguste on and touched the opponent knight's hand
That touch was also done by acrobatics flight that alrazed his opponent
The brass dragon's knight, after ahis hand while giving a broad smile behind him
Instead of showing his face, the Black Knight was showing off by standing up on the saddle of the dragon that should be unstable and bowed to the audience
The audience seats were cheering for the Black Knight again
King Ignitia unexpectedly stood up and applauded
Even though it was still the first game, there was a tremendous excitement
”That's brilliant! That black knight will definitely be scouted into our Order! It's regrettable It's truly regrettable……I want to show this ht!”
Without knowing that it was his son, the King praised the Black Knight
The coon Blackcurrant kept on winning smoothly
Moreover, every ht tins
Auguste advanced to the final match
On the opposite side was a dragon knight wearing silvery white aron Camellia
I felt that a fateful confrontation was going to start
