Someone wants to fight the dragon (2)

Someone wants to fight the dragon (2)

Ara? Roomate-san I see a ship.

After breakfast Yggdrasil said so to me who was about to sculpt the totem pole again today.

When I looked at the direction she indicated [karachapon] sound could be heard from my stomach.

Yesterdays determination was in vain, I had without reserve enjoyed Yggdrasils sap this morning.

Fighting against the desire is very hard in this hollow where the mellow fragrance of the sap drifts when I wake up.

And without thinking I drink the sap because it had been carved into the soul of mine.

Until I move to my new nest dieting will be absolutely impossible.

Maa, setting that aside I looked hard in the direction Yggdrasil indicated.

One small boat was taking the ocean current and was drifting towards this island.

There was no human on the small boat. Only one bug box was placed.

Ohh? Whats that? When I looked into the memories of the preceding dragon I immediately found what it was.

That was a ship with a human sacrifice.

It was approximately 300 years ago when humans tried to conquer this land and led a large fleet to this island.

The late dragon didnt voluntarily attack human countries on his own but it was a different story if the other party attacked.

He alone with roars, claws and flame annihilated the human fleet.

Afterwards the dragon flew over to the continent and a city was burned to the ground so that humans would never think of doing it again.

The humans who feared the power of the dragon promised that they would once a year offer seven virgins as a sacrifice and so the island wasnt interfered with a second time.

And every year during this season humans would offer the sacrifices on ship to this island.

The sailors were afraid of approaching the island so they came close with a medium ship and put the sacrifices into a box on the small boat which was then put down during the high tide.

The sacrifices in the box were eaten by the dragon in the light of the next day.

. . . fumu. Who had done this . . . ?

Currently I wasnt lacking any food and I couldnt such a cruel thing to a living being with intelligence and eat a human girl which was full of futures.

I should send the girls back to their families and inform the humans that such sacrifices arent necessary anymore.

After I told Yggdrasil so I flew towards the small boat which floated on the sea.

I should help those poor girls fast which are trembling while being confined . . . I thought.

The small boat floating on the sea advanced straight with the high tide.

For the time being I raised the small boat onto the beach. And according to my memory there was no human other than those in the box on the ship.

The sacrifices were confined in a roughly three meters oblong box and its purpose was to prevent the humans from running away and throwing their bodies into the sea, so it was severely sealed with chains from the outside.

I didnt hear voices from the inside, while usually the chosen seven would be frightened.

I cut off the chain with my nail and took off the lid. I was thinking on how to call out to the girls without surprising.

As expected there was one girl inside the box.

While I was wondering a little I opened my mouth to call out to the girl.

At that moment my heart was pierced by a flash of light.

There are two reasons why a human cant win against a dragon.

The snakelike eyes ominously shook in the candle light.

And then five years passed. On a certain morning a pigeon arrived at the room of Pius II.

One piece of letter was tied to the foot of the pigeon. And written down in the letter was this.

To save the world tree do you wish to destroy the dragon by the hands of man?

The letter to the pope was a secret but it was possible to make arrangements.

And so to the place where only the pope had the key the sorcerer was led to the room where the ancient weapons lay.

And there the Spear of Valkyria shined with a gray light.

And now at the first month the sorcerer according to the promise he had created a user for the Spear of Valkyria with strong magical power.

For several decades a user for the Spear of Valkyria hadnt appeared.

Furthermore the user was still a young girl and Pius II couldnt hide his surprise.

And while shedding tears for the girl Sorry, sorry but even when the pope repeated it the eyes of the girl who had lost her mind didnt move

Still, do you regret it? Your majesty the pope.

Pius II was woken up from his deep recollection by the voice of the sorcerer.

Ancient weapons arent things that could be handled by normal people. Im fascinated by all the users of ancient weapons. However it wasnt possible to fight against the dragons roar. Losing the mind and soul that was the only way for small existence to fight against powerful enemies.

That was the reason why since ancient times the ancient weapons were rarely used.

The ones who can use the ancient arms if they didnt have strong magical power then Fusion happens and it was their fate to continue fighting as a weapon until the day their magic and life were exhausted by the weapon.

In other words the selected person was sacrificed like a chess piece.

. . The soul that was consumed by the ancient weapon, is there no way to return it?

The pope asked the sorcerer. Though he knew that the answer didnt exist.

The pope who was too gentle and couldnt world tree and also the girl be saved? He still kept worrying.

Your majesty the death of the soul is more decisive than physical death. Even the world tree cant heal the soul. Not to mention any magic or medicine could return the girl to normal. Though the story would be different if it was the elixir which existed in ancient times . . .

The sorcerer repeated the denial who knows how many times already.

Those words meant that the means to save the girl didnt exist anymore. The only thing Pius II could do was pray for her soul to be loved by the gods up in Valhalla.

The pope prayed for save travel for her soul to heaven and connected the three points head, heart and navel with three fingers.

The strategy is perfect. If it advances light arranged then she and the dragon will meet soon. The Spear of Valkyira has to pierce the heart of the dragon without fail.

The sorcerer looked into the western direction. Even if his eyes couldnt see it, that was where the island of the dragon should be.

(Nee-san . . . I will clear your regrets)

The small mutter of the man didnt reach the ears of the pope.

The pope didnt know it.

More than 20 years ago, a certain beautiful girl was chosen as the sacrifice for the white dragon.

The younger brother of that girl only lived only for his belief in taking revenge for his older sister.

Therefore he had bought a salve in a certain village, a girl who had talent and overflowing magical powers and brought her up as the user of the spear.

The younger brother imagined the scene on the far away island where his elder sister died that the dragon would cease to breathe right now.

The dragon fell to ruin by the weapon the created, that sweet imagination.

He closed his eyes. There was the disgusting dragon struggling in an ugly sea of blood.

And inside the dream of the man the Spear of Valkyria blew off the dragons head.
