Chapter 3 (2/2)

Or it's a feat that a group of heroes can accomplish.

I really wonder if I can defeat it on my own.

The image of Kaede crossed my mind.

I'm sure she's waiting for me.

I'm not like those guys. I won't easily abandon my friends.

I will never betray their feelings.

The forest was cut down and I went out into the open.

In a hole in the rock face of a steep mountain, a bright red dragon lies prostrate.

It is a Red Dragon, a dragon of relatively low rank among species.

But even so, it is one of the strongest of the lower classes.

”Hey, dragon! Fight me!”

”Guruk?”

The Red Dragon opens one of its eyes and takes a look at me.

He immediately lifts his body and looks at me with those sharp pupils.

He is very big... He must be at least ten meters tall.

But there is no turning back now.

I am determined to do so.

I drew the sword I had on my back.

The dragon, on the other hand, also spread its wings and stood upright on two legs.

It looks much bigger.

I will not back down!

I ran vigorously towards the dragon, jumped up, and hit it diagonally.

Then a powerful shock wave was generated, which shook the earth and the forest very much.

Unexpectedly, the dragon's body was cut diagonally and fell to the ground.

”I defeated it with a single blow...?”

I find it hard to believe that this is my power.

That's supposed to be a Dragon. It's a monster that easily turns a city into a sea of fire.

So... This's the power of a 300 level.

This is not a power that you can easily exercise.

I quickly approached the Dragon's corpse.

”Ugh, it's splattered with blood.”

I start searching all throughout his body until I get to his heart.

And I decided to cut off some organs that could be useful to me.

Speaking of which, I wonder what dragon meat tastes like.

I was curious, so I cut off some of the fatty meat.

This should be enough to save the girl.

Let's hurry up and go to the doctor.

”Did you really go hunting for him!?”

The doctor was so surprised that he fell out of his chair.

No wonder he was surprised.

It seems that I went for a walk in the park instead of hunting a dragon.

”I also brought some liver and other things, if you need it.

”These materials are very valuable!”

”You can keep them.”

”What?”

”I don't need them.”

As long as I get the potion, that's all that matters.

The doctor immediately began to prepare the mixture and soon completed the potion.

He was also pressured by the money, saying that he would do it for the Dragon's organs.

The price was about 30 million.

He was supposed to pay for the medicine, but instead he benefited from it.

I take the medicine and go back to the inn where Kaede is resting.

”You will feel better if you drink this.”

”Is it for me?”

”Can you drink it?”

She nods her head and takes the medicine.

It won't work once, so I'll have to make sure she takes it regularly from now on.

I felt that Kaede's complexion had improved.

Today we'll eat rice porridge, but from tomorrow I think I can give her a more decent meal.

Once she's asleep, her breathing begins to grow calmer.

Her rigid expression seems to have softened, and I'm relieved to see it.

However, the power I have is beyond my imagination, it is something terrifying.

Defeating the Dragon with a single blow is unusual.

I'm afraid that if I don't fight carefully from now on, I could get involved in unwanted situations.

Maybe I should train Kaede to fight for me.

For that, though, I need her to recover soon.

Crack

I thought I heard a familiar and disturbing sound echoing inside me.
