13. Any problem

* * *

[Kwaaang-!]

The dragon roars. At first glance, it was a roar close to screaming. The dragon let out a roar and hurriedly flew through the mine as if running away from something.

In fact, wounds were visible on every corner of the dragon’s body. The feathers of the wings were slightly torn, and the scales of the whole body were ripped off here and there.

The dragon that flew up did not fly in the sky because of the wound, but fell towards the floor.

“—Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Seeing the overwhelming majesty of the dragon, Psyche, who was stiff, shouted. He was already injured from the previous battle with the rock predator…… But he couldn’t have been doing nothing.

When I glanced away, the count had already run away in a hurry. In a way, it was fortunate. He did not have to uselessly disperse his forces to protect the Count.

“Anella! You can stop it!”

“Pampering the patient too much- no!”

“Good!”

Anella drank the potion, ignoring her body screaming in pain. She held up the shield with her clawed arms and waited for the flying dragon to fall.

And after a while, the dragon fell to the floor.

The moment the dragon fell to the ground, the party was scattered in all directions with a strong shock. Even though Anella blocked the impact with her shield in front of her.

When Psyche came to her senses, she found a dragon chewing on the horse in the carriage.

“Gee, damn… ….”

[Kwaaang-.]

Psyche trembled as he saw the dragon flapping its wings in front of him. He could not contain the anger welling up from the depths of his heart.

‘Why is there a dragon here?’

An ultra-high risk monster that can destroy a country alone. Each country and adventurer’s guild knew the whereabouts and were managing to never go near it – the probability that they accidentally entered the dragon’s realm is extremely rare.

There are two possibilities: either the dragon in front of you has recently moved its territory, or it is a newly born dragon, so the country has not yet put it under management.

Either way, it was unlucky for them. Realizing that fact, Psyche bit his lip hard.

“Leader, what should I do?”

“…… Anella, are you alive?”

“hahahaha, having a strong body is one of my strengths.”

“That’s great. Anella. I will give orders from now on.”

However, you can’t just give up and put everything down just because you’re unlucky. Because that wasn’t the job of a knight.

Psyche stood up with her shield and sword.

“—Run away.”

I will die here.

But you guys run away.

Hearing that, Anella hesitated, but she immediately began to leave her post, taking her stunned colleague with her.

‘Ah, she managed to save one of her companions.’

What if her companions said they couldn’t leave her in a place like this and that she would fight the dragon? That moment will be happy. But that’s it.

She and her allies will be reduced to ashes and dust by the dragon’s breath.

That’s not good. Not good at all.

‘A life that will die anyway, even one person can save more people.’

This is what loyalty as a knight is. Sacrificing one’s own life to save one’s master, country, and people.

It’s scary and sad to die, but it’s not a waste. If this body can be of help to someone, I am satisfied with that.

[Run away. What a bug-like behavior.]

The dragon, seeing his comrades fleeing, exhaled lightly as he said so. Psyche, who saw the hot breath flying towards her comrades, raised her shield and stood in front of them.

“Ahhhhh-!”

After somehow blocking the breath of high heat that would easily melt steel, it rushed straight into the dragon. The blade he swung bounced off without leaving a scratch on the dragon’s scales. The dragon, who was leisurely watching it, snorted.

[Insects.]

Whirick-! The swiftly flying tail sends Psyche flying far away. He blocked it with a half-melted shield, but the impact could not be dampened. Psyche, flying far away and pinned to a rock, forced his trembling body to rise.

Breath comes out of my mouth, and my pupils lose their light. Faced with her death, she gazed at her dragon in horror.

‘Am I going to die like this?’

If I had known that she would die like this, I would have dated her lover——Thought so, Psyche raised her shield and turned her head abruptly when she heard the sound of footsteps coming from somewhere.

Jerking Jerking-Psyke, who had thought that his comrades had returned saying that they couldn’t leave him behind, let out a sigh of relief when he realized that the owner of his footsteps was not a party member.

And the next moment, he screamed in disgust at himself.

“Run quickly! This is a dragon-!”

Flutter—!

The dragon spreads its wings wide and soars.

Then I ran away without looking back.

While she tilted her head, as if not understanding the sudden situation, Evan, who appeared, drew her sword casually.

The sound of him drawing his sword echoes in all directions. The flying dragon must have heard the sound as well, and with only his head slightly behind, he let out a sound close to a scream.

[Damn it! Wait a minute, say it—]

And the next moment, the dragon’s two wings were severed. The dragon that lost its wings fell to the ground and passed out because it couldn’t bear its own weight.

Realizing that the dragon had fallen, Evan slightly turned his head to look at Psyche. Psyche, who was prepared to die for her, swallowed her gulp as she watched Evan staring at her.

“—Are you okay?”

“You, you… ….”

“Looks good.”

Evan glanced at Psyche and immediately started heading to the place where the dragon fell. Psyche, who had been staring at the back, could only figure out what had just happened after his head cooled down.

‘The ability to drop a dragon with a single sword, and the swordsmanship to cut enemies regardless of distance… ….’

It was definitely not a skill that a low-level adventurer would have.

She swallowed her saliva as she watched Evan Carl Shooter disappear in the distance.

“…… I didn’t make any mistakes.”

Then he looked back on his own actions.

* * *

My heart is pounding.

She wondered if what she had done would be discovered, and Evan walked as if she were running away, feeling like a criminal.

‘Didn’t he stutter?’

Recalling the image of Psyche lying on her floor just before, Evan let out a heated breath and lowered her head.

Her armor completely shattered, her clothes torn all over, as if there had been a fierce battle, and the strong negligence she peeked her head out beyond, continued to circulate in her mind.

“Crazy, crazy.”

Shaking his head to shake off his thoughts, he found a dragon lying far away and crawling on the ground with his arms. Then slowly approached the dragon.

[Buy, save…….]

“I had a conversation with a girl for the first time in a while- I didn’t make any mistakes, did I?”

[Save me! I was wrong! No, I didn’t do anything wrong, but I’ll be careful in the future!]

“Yes. I don’t think there was No stuttering, no looking at her breasts.”

I can’t understand the language. Realizing this, the dragon sighed and screamed at him. A struggle close to pleading.

[You, you guys invaded my territory first! I just did what I had to do as the owner of the territory!]

“Then why can’t I get a girlfriend? Do you know?”

[Crazy, let’s talk!]

Evan approached the dragon tilting his head. Acting as if the dragon’s words could not be heard at all. The dragon, trembling in fear at the sight of it, immediately opened its mouth to a brilliant idea.

[My, me! I’ll help! To save the female!]

“…… What?”

At that, Evan stopped and looked at the dragon. It was because it was a word he could not pass away.

“Were you a woman?”

[Ah, no. I’m a male but…….]

“Then how will you help me?”

[As a dragon, as the lord of this land, I will give orders to humans. Find a pair that’s right for you. Humans will not refuse my orders—.]

“Hey.”

Suddenly! Evan, who swung his sword and cut off the dragon’s head as if he didn’t need to hear any more, grunted as he led the sword into the scabbard.

“What does kidnapping mean? I want pure love.”

If I had hoped for a woman whom I could acquire through power, money, and power, I would have visited Chang-gwan from the beginning. But he wasn’t looking for a prostitute.

Heroes who appear in legends. A woman who supports the hero, works with him, and builds history together. She wanted to build a love affair with such a woman.

“I want a girlfriend… ….”

After confirming the death of the dragon with weeping tears in his eyes, Evan slowly stood up.

***

For a long time after Evan left, Psyche sat blankly and looked at the place he had left. It was only when Evan returned from the direction he left that she came to her senses.

“Ummm… ….”

“No, how the hell… ….”

“Hey, Mr. Psyche… May I call you?”

“…… You can speak comfortably. For me.”

“Then I will call you Mr. Psyche. Hey, Mr. Psyche. Excuse me, some clothes…….”

When she heard Evan’s words, she lowered her head and looked at her own clothes. At the end of two consecutive fierce battles, her armor and even her clothing underneath were completely blown away.

Realizing what she was doing, Psyche then covered her chest with her face blushing. Evan took off the outerwear she was wearing.

“Thank you, thank you… ….”

“Oh, no. It’s okay.”

“What about the dragon?”

“It’s over there.”

Evan casually pointed in the direction she had walked. Psyche gulped at her and looked out in that direction. She couldn’t be seen behind the wall, but there’s a chance the dragon is still alive…….

“—There it is!”

And then, the first count who fled returned with an army. After seeing the army, Psyche finally sighed in relief.

The Count approached with an army and asked the two whereabouts of the dragon, and Evan told Psyche the whereabouts of the dragon.

Hearing that the dragon was right there, the Count gulped and marched forward with his army.

And after a while.

“…… Did you say Evan?”

“Yes, what about that?”

“The dragon was dead… ….”

“Yes. I killed them.”

Looking at Evan tilting his head as if there was something wrong, both Count and Psyche opened their mouths in disbelief.
