Vol 2 Chapter 21 (1/2)

The Hero and the Reunion (part 7)

The Demon Beast Record inscribes: “The dragons were the tyrants of the sky in the olden days. There were scarlet, ink black, and rock colored. They could ignite dragon fire, summon lightning, or shake mountains. Dragons were something even legendary heroes could not defeat.”

The Record of the Rise and Fall of Middle Earth inscribes: “When the King of Lie[1. This is a surname.  Liè, not lie (lai).] was young, he drew his sword and slayed a red dragon, bathed in its blood, and ate its eyes raw. He could see all big happenings, dubbing himself the king of the wind, and called himself the ominous son.”

At the present…

There was a gigantic red dragon, its ma.s.sive body hovering amidst the lightning.

It only need to unfurl its wings and roar, and fireb.a.l.l.s would rain down from the sky.

All the things touched by the fireb.a.l.l.s were burning into ashes.

Demon race, Dragon kind.

Direct subordinates of the demon king.

For the Expedition Regiment, the biggest headache was the sky. Air defense had been the Expedition Force’s biggest weak point for almost forever.

On the ground, forming a solid line of defense worked, however it didn’t in the sky.

So the demon king would often exploit this loophole and send every kind of flying demon to sneak attack the humans from the back.

As the strength of the Expedition Force expanded, a hundred meter range for air defence was possible.

This range was quite considerable and a large portion of demon beasts were deterred by this.

Except for two.

One was the Sky kind, the other was the Dragon kind.

The Sky kind were humanoid demons with wings. The Dragon kind were monsters covered in scales. The former were small and quick, and the latter had formidable scaly armor.

“Guards!! Call the city defense!!”

“Save me aaaaahhhh–”

“Monster, it’s a monster!!”

“Mama–”

Every kind of shrieks could be heard in all the streets.

It was no use.
