Chapter 22 (2/2)

Impossible, Anc-Ancient Dragon.

Thats when his eyes opened wide, he stopped working entirely, and his entire body started trembling.

I had never seen him like this before.

This enemy seems to be strong enough to terrify even thatnoble mage.

The name Ancient Dragon, certainly sounds terrifying.

Why is something like that here..No, thinking back, we also encountered a group of flare wyverns when we were on the airship. Then, we encountered a pair of red dragons on the way up Mount Pepe. So, it is possible

The dragons voice was loud enough to make the earth shake. This caused the other members of the party to come running from the airship in a panic. And they were left speechless after seeing the Ancient Dragon.

Sophia-chan began to shiver and she squat down on the ground and began peeing herself. I want to drink it. It seems a waste to let the earth drink it instead.

Whats wrong? You tiny ones.

This dragon is looking down on us from directly above.

Its a little frustrating.

The way he speaks reminds me of Sophie-chan.

Im sorry, who are you?

I am glad that we at least have a way to talk to this dragon.

Maybe we can return peacefully if these talks go well.

Who am I? This small man is asking that of a dragon.

No, Im sorry, but there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding. Maybe we can meet again at a later date. If youd like, you can contact us at this number.

My inner customer assistant came out unexpectedly.

Dont actually contact the number they give you. Its just a way to politely end the conversation.

There seems to be a very powerful human here. I wanted to see it for myself.

I see. Im very sorry for any trouble you may have been caused. We will all be leaving soon. So, if we could please have your cooperation and understanding, we will be gone in no time.

For now, I need to check itsstatus. Status.

Name Christina Sex Female Race Ancient Dragon Level 2983 Job Backpacker HP 9950000/9950000 MP 8900000/8900000 STR 1537500 VIT 677402 DEX 922994 AGI 220442 INT 778030 LUC 23329

These stats are overwhelming. I get the sense that Christina is like a final boss.

Shes the type of hidden boss that doesnt appear normally. No other enemy is comparable to this dragons level. Those stats are just too bloated. I never heard about enemies of this level from that ossan.

Rather, what is a backpacker? Well, this dragon does have a strong consciousness. I guess I dont need to think of a backpacker in a way humans may think of it. Either way, this status window is uselessly in depth.

By the way, my status looks like this.

Name Tanaka Sex Male Race Human Level 78 Job Alchemist HP 78909/78909 MP 188300000/188300000 STR 7375 VIT 9560 DEX 10800 AGI 7910 INT 12922000 LUC 229

My level has only gone up by thirteen.

Considering what we defeated I expected to level a lot more than that. Its possible a large amount of the experience went to the noble mage and Mercedes-chan. Although, as a member of the same party, I am happy for them.

If its similar to raising levels in a game.

Well, there is also some bad news.

My luck seems to have gone down. Does the growth curve have a negative value? Thats more like real life. As a human, your LUC will go down as you get older. Out of all skills, LUC is the most depressing.

Are you openly mocking me? You must be considerably brave.

No, of course not. That would be absurd. Mocking and being impolite

Excellent. Then, maybe you can entertain me for a while!

She announces the start of the battle.
