CH 79

(T/N: Hi everyone, Yellow Mountain here. I just want to say thank you to @BradleyO’Hanrahan for donating. It really helps a lot and motivates me to keep on translating everyday, unless I get sick like last week that I got chickenpox. Even though I’m still not that good at translating onomatopoeia and might miss some words, I’ll still do my best. Luckily, the author of this web novel is uploading new chapters everyday, so the translating will keep on going. Thank you very much again and May God Bless You ^_^.)

Doshuu ……! Crunch-Crunch-Crunch-Crunch ……

“Ugyaaaaah!?”

“A-Armor and all!? Geboah ……!”

“Guh……! Not yet! Itsuart, we’re going in at the same time! [Lightning speed, Denkousekka].”

(T/N: At this part, I wrote the “Denkousekka” in that, because he said the word lightning speed twice, one in English which is “Lightning speed” and one in Japanese which is “Denkousekka” that is translated to “Lightning speed” also. So I figured I’ll just put the Japanese word also so there’s nothing missing.)

“Y-Yes!”

The dragon’s nest was a mortar-shaped area that was large enough for a dragon of five or six meters to move around freely. It had black scales with purple and white skin in places.

Veig instructed his second-in-command, Itsuart, to sneak into the dragon’s bosom and strike the same spot in rapid succession. Itsuart also tried to slash at the shins, but…

Clang!

“Even this won’t get throught ……!?”

“Gugah!?”

The moment the sword impacted, something that looked like a magic circle appeared and was flicked away. Immediately after, the dragon’s stout arm blasts Veig away, and kicks Itsuart away. The knights who stood up with Verna’s recovery magic raised their voices.

“C-Commander!? You!”

“We must protect the commander and the princess!”

“H-However …… how can we defeat something that even the captain can’t defeat …..!?”

“Don’t be afraid!”

Fssssh……

“Guaaaah!?”

“Hot …… it’s burning me ……!?”

“Everyone!? …… Hah …… hah …… At this rate …… my magic power …… won’t last ……”

A black breath attacked the knights, and they were enveloped in black flames and stumbled around. Verna rushes in to heal them, but there’s no one left to get up, and she’s left alone. The dragon stands in front of Verna and smirks.

“W-What! kyah!”

As Verna is about to use her magic, she is grabbed by the arm. The dragon’s large face was in front of her, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. As she braced herself and closed her eyes, the dragon began to laugh with glee.

“Raina ……?”

The dragon opened his mouth as Verna was flabbergasted at the unfamiliar name.

“Er …… I don’t know what you’re talking about, but …… I think you’ve got the wrong person? I’m–“

When Verna was about to say her name, it happened.

Clang!

“N-No way ……”

The dragon is angry at the sudden attack. In contrast, Verna’s eyes widened and she muttered a few words.

And there’s–

“You! Let go of Verna!”

“Tigre-sensei!”

This is because Tigre, clad in silver and white armor, with a large sword in his right hand and a spear in his left, was charging at the dragon’s feet. Tigre keeps hitting the magic barrier over and over again.

“Take this!”

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuun ……

(T/N: This is Tigre-sensei clashing with the Dragon’s barrier’s onomatopoeia.)

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!?”

The dragon was pushed by Tigre’s onslaught and fell on its side. At the same time, Verna, who was left behind, flew through the air.

“Oops! Are you hurt?”

“Ah, no …… wait, why are you here!”

“I’ll tell you later, this bastard is above a wild dragon, it’s an ancient dragon …… even I’m not sure I can beat it.”

“Ancient dragon ……!? H-How did it get here ……”

The dragon stood up at Verna’s words and opened his mouth, glaring at Tigre.

“I don’t care about your situation! Who is this Teiga? At any rate, the kids are waiting for this one. I’ll have her back”

“This way! Verna, run! Lars and the others in Luitzar Castle!”

“What!? O-Okay!”

He hides Verna in a rocky crevice, out of reach, in anticipation of the dragon’s mighty swing, and Tigre runs toward the center of the nest.

“I won’t let you!”

Plink!

“Dark Flame Breath!? I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it before ……! Take this!”

Paaan!

“I don’t give a shit! Uoooooh!?”

The dragon stomps down on Tigre like he’s crushing him. As soon as he sniffle thinking that it’s over, his foot rises up. 

“It’s not like I’ve been nicknamed “War Demon” for nothing!”

(T/N: So dragons can click their tongue.)

Realizing that he would be rolled over again, the dragon wagged its tail and aimed for Tigre, who was behind his legs.

“That’s close! As expected, you’re very clever ……”

“He stopped moving? Then, I’ll end this all at once!”

Papapapapa! Tigre resumed his attack and broke down the magic barrier. The sword and spear each broke through without spilling a blade, and eventually cut through the skin.

“Hah …… hah …… Its shallow!? Guho!?”

Tigre, who’s coiled up by its tail, floated in front of the dragon, and the dragon’s fist thrust into him like an uppercut, sending him hurtling upward.

“Oh, no!? Even I would be in pain if I’m slammed down at this height!”

“Tigre-sense!!”

The dragon’s mouth gaped open, waiting to bite down on the falling Tigre. It was at that moment that Tigre broke out in a cold sweat and wondered if he should point his spear downward.

Ting!

(T/N: Nani!?)

Tigre’s body floated in the air and his fangs struck out. Tigre landed on his feet and immediately understood why he had been saved.

“This time, I’m the one who made it by a hairsbreadth.”

“…… Ha, why did you come here, Lars. I told you it’s dangerous …… but, you saved me, thank you!”

Dragons are awesome, but so is Tigre!?

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“A teacher stronger than the Knights ……”

Even though it’s limited.

(T/N: Or “Even though they’re limited”. Teachers who are stronger than the knights, I mean.)
