2 Episode 2 "The Power of the Dragon" (1/2)

”Human......Ningen?

”hoshokutaisho......

”Giggle!　Gah!

What the hell are these people? ....... They're not people. They're too small to be people. It's a humanoid creature with a gaping mouth and rugged skin. There's three of them. Only one of them was as tall as me.

And they're all holding rusty swords and looking at me.

Oh no.

The Goddess' letter said that this world was infested with demons... but I hadn't realized it yet. I was still thinking in terms of the world I came from.

Didn't you realize that when you saw the dragon statue earlier?

Demons and dragons do exist in this world (・・・・・・).

I'll kill you... and eat you.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

You've got to be kidding me.

I can't deal with this thing. .......

What do we do?　Run?　Can you outrun it?　No, we can't. ......

We don't know how far it is to the village. If we use up all our strength running and get stuck, we're done. You won't even be able to resist.

You can't even fight ....... I was a businessman until yesterday and I don't know anything about fighting.

The only way to get rid of it is to ...... intimidate it.

There is a sword that the goddess gave me. I took it out of the King's Vessel and held it up.

”Okay, now ......

”What?　GIGA GAGA!

The demons opened their mouths and laughed.

”'Gee!　GIGA GIGA GIGA!　Giggle!

They're shouting and waving their weapons around.

They're not intimidated. They're being intimidated by .......

Calm down. ...... Calm down. .......

There's three of them. I'm alone. If we're surrounded, it's over.

What can we do now?　What can we use to get out of here?　Skills?

But the goddess only gave me storage and translation skills.

Why didn't she give me combat skills? The letter said that she would give skills to other summoners, but why was I the only one discriminated against?　Why did he drop me in a place like this with demons if I don't have any combat skills?　I don't know. d*mn it.

I don't know.

The demon was slowly approaching.

I keep my sword at the ready and back away.

What do we do?　Is there anything in the King's Vessel that I can use?　What other skills do I have?

I check the skills in my head.

The skills displayed are ──── two?

”More?

When did it increase?

What the hell is this? What kind of skill is this?

What kind of skill is this?

A skill activated by the confirmation of the dragon's existence.

You can use the dragon's athletic ability, defense, and skills.

Is this another skill that the goddess gave me?

A skill that can be used by being convinced of the dragon's existence... is that too hard to use? It's a good thing I found the dragon statue earlier, otherwise I'd be stuck.

Well, now's not the time to worry about that.

I'll use what I can.

”Giggles! Lord's Domain. Eliminate the ravagers!

”Activate... 'Dragon Seed Awakening'!

The moment the demon jumped at me, I activated my skill.

The enemy has no respect for me. It doesn't even show any signs of dodging. If you swing your sword you'll hit it!

Boom.

I swung my sword... and just as I thought I was swinging my long sword.

”............?

The demon couldn't react.

The sword gouged the demon's torso.

”............gala......va

The black demon spurted blood and fell to the ground.

”Gizama────!!!

The other one attacked, stomping on the one it had killed. It's the biggest one. It moves fast.

Before you know it, he's raising his sword. I can't... I can't avoid it.

”Aah!

The black goblin-like demon's sword struck me in the left arm.

Clank. There's a hard sound.

The scales on my arm repelled the rusty blade...is this dragon power too?

”What?

”Get the hell out of here!

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

”G-Gah! I'm not sure what to do.

The goblin-like demon jumps back. He glared at me with red eyes and then turned his back on me.

”GIGIGI! You're a monster, you're a monster!

I don't want to hear about it from you guys.

The demons ran on. The demons ran away and disappeared through the trees.

They escaped. .......

............

The next thing I know, I'm sitting on the ground.

I had no time to chase it. And the sword the goddess gave me is on the edge.

That's because I slashed with all my might. That demon was pretty tough.

”Awakening of the dragon species: ............?

There's still a blue scale on my left arm.

It blocked the goblin-like demon's sword.

And the power you just gave me was amazing.

Normally, there's no way I could cut off a demon's arm while I was working at my desk. So I guess that means that while I'm using this ”Dragon Seed Awakening”, my power will also become stronger.
