Vol 2 Chapter 24 (2/2)
A hero that slayed the evil dragon
“The dragon is dead!!”
“Everyone is saved!!”
“Many thanks Lord Her—”
A crowd hard at my heels
After confirether
I forced myself to my feet when I suddenly felt the excited crowd fall silent
I turned to look at Ailee Her expression was extremely complicated
She was happy for me, but also seemed to be worried for me
Thud
A rock hit my face
I suddenly realized
My hood had been blown off by the wind
“You! You still haven’t died!!?”
The crowds recognized who I was
My brain turned slow, unable to think of how to respond to the sudden turn in atmosphere
“Deht this monster here, didn’t you!!?”
“You turned the whole city into rubble Are you satisfied now!!?”
“You bastard, give me my Mom back!!”
The croays had so a rock at me
“Hurry up and confirm it Are you Leon or not?”
Ailee threw herself in front of me
“Everyone, please don’t—”
A rock hit ailee’s forehead, and a dark red stream of blood trickled down her temples
This situation was very familiar
When I first entered the Expedition Forde, I met a scum senior
He would often assignhe found not up to par, he would cuss me out
The Expedition Force had a rule: the first to cause a disturbance would be expelled
So I could only be patient
The final tih and was about to punch me
At that ti by, and she threw herself in front of me without hesitation
The hit had drawn blood, and her head ollen
At that ti made me loathe my oeakness
But now I could not
For
So I must protect those who I want to protect
I hugged the dizzied Ailee from behind
“I’m fine, Leon…”
She breathed in my ear
The person who threw the stone at her was the ed man I saw in the pub
Seeing I did not respond, he picked up another stone and threw it at me
I caught the stone and forcefully though it back He could not respond at all to a lock of his hair being shaved off
“The princess just called him Leon!! this person is the traitor to humanity!!”
Yelled that man
“Everyone look, he raised a hand at me As expected as someone on the demons’ side!!”
“The hero on hand can’t just sit around and do nothing–”
Boom!!!
Just as he was about to go off on a rant, a giant explosion sound came from behind me
Impossible!
My head whipped around, and I saw the dragon slowly cli to its feet
I very clearly had pierced a hole through its core!
When the long spear had pierced near its core, it exploded into pieces I clearly saw the shi+ning, multicolored core shatter
Right at this moment, past memories from the Expedition Force resurfaced
We were around a campfire, while Baliat addressed us kindly
–Don’t think that just because you destroy the core everything will be all right Most demon beasts are weak at the core because without a core, their hout their body and would dissipate into the air much on Because the h, even if their core is destroyed their bodies won’t disappear so easily It takes a period of ti ones
Right now, the red dragon’s body was like s fro
But then the dragon roared
Frightening strength remained
“Grooaaarr!!!”
The flae flickered within its throat
Dragon’s breath
I had used up all e it
Not just me, but Ailee too
The people behind me with evil intentions too
Everything will be burnt to nothingness under the high tein with
“Save us! Defeat it, Leon!!”
A round out of fear
Just as I was feeling the ht suddenly flashed
A silver line appeared on the dragon’s neck
Breath was stopped, the glow fro
After several seconds, the dragon’s head carefully began to slide With a round and produced dust clouds
“Haa, haaa…that scared or mortis”
The orously leaped up
But as for me, I could not just relax
That was not rigor
Soon killed it in one hit
“Everyone, everyone we must discuss This ether!”
He pulled out his saber
But then, a silver line appeared on his neck
In the next instant, his head rolled onto the ground
The crowd exploded into panic
Someone shouted at me:
“You’re a killer!! Deood, but it was to betray us all along!!”
After saying such, he immediately was beheaded His stump sprayed out blood, and the people around him were dominated by fear
While I already had no time to deal with the resentment and fear of the crowds
I shoved Ailee behind me protectively
This was notelse
I lifteddistorted
The black clouds vanished without a trace Then in the air hung a red moon
A palace alh in the sky
It was a fiend’s fortress, a region a God could not even touch
“Scampelier…”
My sandpaper throat rasped out that bitter name
