Chapter 38 I will take you down with me (2/2)
The so-called big trees always attracted heavy wind.
TL: Something like high position always invites criticism
Currently in this world, the later generation always tried to push the former generation from their privileged positions…….Every year, countless sharp brains wanted to shine above the rest. This ambitious latter generation always stared with big eyes to seek for an opportunity to rise in ranks.
What, you are called “the strongest dragonslayer”? Very good! You would become the stepping stone for me!!
Furthermore, since you had the title “dragonslayer”, you were surely a strong guy? Great! If not stepping on you, who else?!?!
Once the news leaked, countless rookies would wait at their door to challenge them each day!
By killing you, would that not mean that my strength was even higher than that of a “dragonslayer”?
Therefore, this quest was strictly confidential and those six magicians went alone. They did not even bring their most trusted disciples.
As a result, those six masters had considerably suffered. At home, with their status and respected position, even when they went to the bathroom to sit on the chamber pot, there would be a pretty female apprentice beside them lightening an incense while waiting.
While away from home, those six masters who had never touched a knife in the kitchen before had considerably suffered on this trip. While in Primal Wildfire, they still had inns and taverns to enjoy, however after arriving in the wilderness of Primal Wildfire, they had not have a full stomach for several days. That hard bread was tough to swallow and even the drinking water was not cooked. They were all talented masters and could casually hunt some preys, but no one could do any chores!
Tonight, a fire magician could finally not bear it anymore and curled up his sleeves to personally go to battle. By casting a “burst of flames” magic, he immediately called forth a pillar of red flame to roast an antelope that they hunted tasty and crispy. However, the accidentally forgot that this spell had additional burst property and while a loud bang, it exploded in countless pieces. Even the pan used to roast the meat was smashed to pieces.
Exactly at that time, the dull looking Tatara fell in front of their doorstep. As a magician and colleagues, they simply decided to treat him as their personal servant and bring him along. This way their food and drinking problem would be solved.
Another thing……in order to keep the secret ……hehe.
Being magicians did not mean that they could not kill people.
……
Tatara was also someone who endured hardship and unlike those pampered masters he did not have a high and respected position. Following those masters was extremely satisfying for him and he roasted the meat making it outside crispy, inside tender. The hard bread eating days was finally over from those noble magician masters.
However, Tatara was not in an unenviable position!
He alone must serve six masters, whose moods were extremely bad from living in uncomfortable wild. He was responsible for those six people’s dinner, roast the game in six different kind of flavor, wash six people’s clothes and heat the bath water for six people – once those six masters had someone to serve them and they became fussy about every small thing!
They started to behave on an adventure in the wild like at home.
Tatara got backache every day from overworking and several days later, he became even thinner.
The most awfully thing was, when they finally arrived in the mountains, with his bad luck Tatara finally learned that those six came here to look for a dragon……He burst into tears in his heart and felt that there was no bright future in front of him……
Tatara was not a fool and he understood clearly the difference in strength between them: Those six masters only need to wave with their fingers to kill him and that dragon only needed to casually use its claw to get rid of those six masters!
……
…………
“If it was not for you! How could I have fallen this low right now!!”
Past scenes played in Tatara’s mind again and a circuit suddenly exploded in his brain making him roar in anger while strangling Shaar’s neck: “Since I will now die anyway, I will take you down with me!!”
Shaar was somewhat bewildered – there was no need to throw away your life for a robe, right?
At that moment, that dragon on the mountain roared and a mass of bright green greyish light suddenly erupted from the giant dragon’s body!
With a loud bang, a big ripple shock appeared and the four magicians on the hill were swept away by a wave while that transparent defense mirror was loudly crushed!
During the long howling of the dragon, the magician closest to the defense mirror suddenly screamed pitifully, the magic wand in his hand began to fracture and his clothes began to tear apart. After the shock wave, the flesh on his body was peeled off and in a blink of an eye, there was nothing left but bones!!
The remaining three magicians also started to yell pitifully and abandoned their dragon hunt. They turned around and fled downhill with lighting speed while the dragon followed them closely on their heels.
Seeing those guys running downhill, Shaar’s heart started to pump fast and quickly jumped up while grabbing the pitiful creature: “Time to escape with our life!”
When he shouted, he suddenly discovered that Ada had already disappeared without a trace -Damn! This guy actually runs faster than me!
With big strides, Shaar sprinted off and Tatara who was not willing to let go the criminal who took everything from him stubbornly refused to loosen his hands. While Shaar was running with an unbelievable speed, Tatara was hanging on Shaar’s body like a wombat.
Watching Tatara hanging on Shaar with painful expression, the pitiful creature that was also violently grabbed by Shaar could not help and whispered: “Hey, are you okay?”
“I ……” When Tatara finally saw clearly the pitiful creature’s appearance, he suddenly stared at her with big eyes: “You, you are!!”
Unfortunately he could not finish his sentence……The dragon and the three magicians at the back finally caught up with them and instantaneously arrived at their tail!
Bang, the big dragon once again started to spew a mass of blue breath!
