CHAPTER 25 – A FAR MORE TERRIFYING PERSON

Translator: Luk2048

“Don’t get deceived! It’s clear he came to a.s.sault the town! Shoot!”

Simultaneously with the commanding from the rear mounted archer’s shout, a cloud of arrows was released towards the elephant demon . Unlike the adventurers’ town we visited previously, it seemed few skilled people were here . After all, the might of discharged arrows exhibited only an average level of training .

Nonetheless, they appeared to recognize their lack of ability . Despite confronting the three-headed elephant, it could be seen they were constantly conscious of their means of retreat . The loosely scattered files of troops weren’t pressing down the enemy with attacks, while also allowing themselves a path of retreat .

Most likely, once the situation turned for worse after causing some injuries with the projectiles, they intended to take refuge in the town under the Saintess’ protection .

“I’m telling ya―― I don’t want to fight!”

However, that that hit-and-run tactic was only effective, if one could cause damage to the enemy . The three-headed elephant rotated his three noses like a windmill, using them as a s.h.i.+eld and knocking down all the arrows mid-air .

Then he put on airs waving his nose,

“Hahaha, you saw that? Though I look like this, I’m the kind who can do whatever he wants with style . If you understood the difference in our strength, calm down and listen to――”

“What did you come here for? If you came to a.s.sault this town and incorrigibly break the oath you swore to the Evil Dragon Lord, I won’t have mercy . ”

At that point, Rēko was already holding a dagger over the elephant’s heads . It was a stance that, if he were to display any disturbing behaviour, she’d cut off all of his heads in an instant .

“I am sorry

. I got carried away . ”

“As long as you understand . So, what did you come here for?”

“More importantly, kin girl . The arrows are coming again . ”

“Right . ”

When Rēko lightly waved her hand, all the arrows were blown away in a different direction . Then at last, the soldiers seemed to notice Rēko standing above the elephant, all of them wearing the same stunned expression .

“As expected from kin girl . ”

“No need for poor compliments . I am now prohibited from exercising the Evil Dragon Lord’s power . As kin, I’m in a close to powerless state . There’s nothing to boast about . ”

“Ah, that so? I’m like, super embarra.s.sed that I got carried away before . Please forget about it . ”

When the three-headed elephant was showing his embarra.s.sment, the soldiers collectively started screaming .

“Y-You there! It’s dangerous, get away from that demon quickly!”

“She probably can’t . She most likely was taken hostage . You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how despicable――”

“Wait there! We’re going to save you!”

“Everyone, calm down . This child, she looks like a normal girl, but she’s the subordinate of that Evil Dragon Rēvendia . ”

Oh, then we can take it easy .  This atmosphere of relief spread among the soldiers, and after a short while, all members stiffened like statues .

“Then isn’t this even worse?! The evil dragon has finally called his demon subordinates to destroy the town!”

“Ku—, so our roads end here… You d.a.m.ned evil dragon…”

“I’m gonna do it . I’ll face them here and awaken my real power!”

“Give it up, you’ll just die in vain like trash . We’ve no choice but to run under the Saintess’ protection . ”

Rēko dejectedly listened to the soldiers talking, and said,

“That’s not good . Not good

good at all . The Evil Dragon Lord is being misunderstood, even though he has no intention of bringing harm to this city . ”

“Because Evil Dragon Boss is a kind person . ”

“He’s not only kind . He encompa.s.ses both the kindness and strictness, overflowing with inexhaustible virtue, a grand person forever mesmerizing all beings . Be sure to engrave it in your heart . ”

“Yes . ”

“If you understood, give me your neck . Once I execute you here, I’ll prove that you’re unrelated to the Evil Dragon Lord . ”

“It looks like you didn’t inherit the Evil Dragon Boss’ kindness . ”
