What the? So she was raised by wolves. <ref>Note: This is a reference to Mowgli, the boy who was raised by wolves from The Jungle Book. It could also be a reference to Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome who were said to have been raised by wolves.</ref>


Eh? Was Taniko really raised by a dragon?

No matter how I look her, Taniko is definitely something related to a dog; there’s not even a single hint of her being a dragon.
As I look at her, I see that Taniko is some sort of canine demi-human; there’s not a hint of dragon.


In the first place, the rotten dragon is…….. Impossible.  In this case, did the dragon become her parent while it was alive?
It must have been before the Zombie Dragon died. Did that dragon raise her while it was alive?


Then, is that the special way of chanting magic something she learned from the dragon?

I cover my ears with my hands; I don’t want to hear it.




“When will this stop? I know that the hero that took away my happiness, Father’s happiness cannot be forgiven. But the shield hero is different. Everybody from the village is kind and gentle. They were different from the people of this country who beat and whipped me if I did something wrong.

So he’s the father version of Gaelion.
“If I knew what you were talking about, then you wouldn’t have to tell me. So no, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” (Naofumi)
 
It’s not the child version of Gaerion who is doing the possessing.

“Don’t you understand? I cannot attack you.” (Naofumi)
“I've got no means of attack anymore.” (Naofumi)




Originally, I could attack enemies because of the Wrath Shield. However, I can’t do it if I can’t summon the shield. <ref>TLN: he can’t use it because his hate is being sucked by the dragon, making him unable to summon the curse shield series.</ref>

Wrath Dragon[edit]

“G U R U !?” (Gaelion)


Those words stopped Gaelion in his tracks.

Did the love for his daughter move his heart?


“Father?” (Taniko)

“Eh?” (Naofumi)

“I knew it!” (Rato)


Rato mutters to herself like she has it all figured out.


“Uhnn, My father… My father is the dragon that occupied this area.” (Taniko)


Taniko drops that bomb before turning to Gaelion.


“There are stories about feral children growing up with demons, monsters, and dragons.” (Rato)


What the? So she was raised by wolves. [1]

Was Taniko really raised by a dragon?

As I look at her, I see that Taniko is some sort of canine demi-human; there’s not a hint of dragon.

It must have been before the Zombie Dragon died. Did that dragon raise her while it was alive?

Then, did she learn that unusual magic from the dragon?

Why does Sadina know how to use it?

Sadina looks my way.


“SE-CR-ET.” (Sadina)


She’s annoying.

I’ll hear about it later.


“Stop it already, father. Soon, this place will become nothing. I understand your hate for the hero that took everything away from you. However, troubling others won’t change anything... So please stop it!”

“GU…” (Gaelion)


Gaelion groans; it looks like Taniko’s words are affecting him.

I cover my ears with my hands; I don’t want to hear it.


“When will your rampage end? I know a hero took away my happiness, your death can never be forgiven. But the Shield Hero is different. Everybody from the village is kind and gentle. They're different from the horrid people that beat and whipped me if I did something wrong. They're different from the villagers who laughed while plundering your treasures.” (Taniko)


Tears stream down Taniko's face from remembering all the things that happened while recounting her past to Gaelion.

I cover my ears, trying to avoid hearing their conversation.

When a dragon raises an adopted child, does it warp that person? Am I being influenced by games too much?


“Please… Please return that child’s body back... That child, I’ll raise him... his name is Gaelion, the same as yours. I promise that your name will live on... and also, please return Firo’s strength. Father, you don’t belong here anymore.” (Taniko)

“G Y A O O O O O O!” (Wrath Dragon)


Something's happening in the dragon's head.

And...


“Gyaa… Gyaaa...”

“Gyuaaaa...”


A creature resembling a newborn Gaelion comes out from the dragon’s mouth.

The experience and growth have been ejected along with him; that should prevent any more rampaging.

Then… The Wrath Dragon was covered in darkness and started dissolving while glaring at us.

I look on at Taniko.


“Father... I'll give you rest… I will stop you.” (Taniko)


Taniko comes back to her senses, and Melty and Sadina take huge breaths.


“Sadina Onee-chan, let’s stop father.” (Taniko)

“I understand.” (Sadina)

“Looks like we have no choice.” (Melty)


The three gather together and begin chanting their choral magic.

That was fast, it looks like Taniko’s chant is affecting the Wrath Dragon.

The small Gaelion flies over to the three chanters.

I direct my focus to the melting black-eyed dragon.


“GYAOOOOOOO ! “ (Wrath Dragon)


This is Taniko’s father... the one that I fought before. Back then, he didn’t even have fangs and horns. He looks more dangerous than he did before.


“Count, are your wounds alright?” (Rato)

“How's it look?” (Naofumi)


It’s Dark Curse Burning’s flame. Well... the flames are getting weak, so it shouldn't kill me.

Though it felt like suffering a curse on top of another curse.


“My curse resistance decreased, but there’s holy water, so don't worry about it. Look, their chant is working.” (Naofumi)


I move to protect Taniko and the others.

Gaelion leaps toward us, and I hold my ground.


“It’s dangerous, get back.” (Naofumi)

『This is perilous』 (Wrath Dragon)

“Wha... “


The Wrath Dragon spoke.

Its voice is so deep.


『Don’t lose your composure; you’ll leave Wyndia exposed.』 (Wrath Dragon)

“You..." (Naofumi)

『My daughter’s growing splendidly. Hero of the Shield, there's something I’d like to teach you. Have you noticed yet?』(Wrath Dragon)

“If I knew what you were talking about, then you wouldn’t have to tell me. So no, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” (Naofumi)


I glare at the dragon with hostility.


The Wrath Dragon.


The name of the black dragon slowly deteriorating before my eyes.


『The corruption inside me consumed your hatred. That hate is what corrupted me and made me lose control. Hurry, kill me before I start rampaging again.』 (Wrath Dragon)

“I've got no means of attack anymore.” (Naofumi)


With the Wrath Shield I could go on the offensive. With the shield gone, defense is my only option.


『Be at ease, I will cooperate with you and release the attack. Hold your ground and endure it.』(Wrath Dragon)

“Enduring's what I do.” (Naofumi)

『I see that’s the case. I leave to you my memories and experiences in the shield… I entrust them to you.』(Wrath Dragon)


A feeling of uneasiness washes over me.

Gaelion joins the party to speed up the chanting.


The Wrath Dragon releases its attack. The power of each attack ratchets up; it was getting stronger and stronger.

Pain and numbness washes over my body, this is just like the curse of Blutopfer. I can’t hold on much longer. I'm going to go crazy...

However, I push him back, despite his relentlessness.

He bites down with all his strength; he's mounting my defense, attempting to pin me down.

I activate the meteor shield and shield prison each time he attacks, using the air shield to create distance when I can.


『The cursed Earth that brings hatred, but gives clarity washing all grudges away... Dragon Pulse, the power that comes from the desire to save the world. I wish for a miracle.』(Gaelion)

『 I, Gaelion, order the heavens, order the earth, and remove the laws and ties, in attempt to discharge the sea. My power, to feel once again the controlled power that’s flowing within.』(Gaelion)


The shield translates it all, so I understand what Gaelion's chanting. It was spewing noise relentlessly, displaying the translation in my sight. Does Sadina notice? I look back at Gaelion.


『『Erase Aqua Splash!』』

『『Water Dragon Destruction Wave!』』


The girls' chant is finished, but then, magic power surrounds Gaelion.


“Eh!?” (Taniko)


Taniko yelps in surprise, Melty's knees buckle out under her.

Sadina, harpoon in hand, runs.

Gaelion gathers the magic power and forms a ball.


“Naofumi-chan and Rato-san, support!” (Sadina)

“Ah!” (Rato)

“Zweit Aura!” (Naofumi)

“Fast Power! Fast Magic!” (Rato)


I lend magical support and Rato covers with physical attack speed.


“Let's go! Gaelion-chan.” (Sadina)

“Gyauuuuuuuuuuuu!!” (Gaelion)


Gaelion cries out.

He takes a deep breath, and shoots the ball of magic.

A flood of water gushes from the ball and we attack.

Sadina dives into the gushing water and raises a cyclone.

These attacks are so much flashier than Raphtalia and Firo's. Could Sadina be stronger?

Sadina’s level isn’t that high.

Is this thanks to the Slave-Shield correction?

Well, a flashy attack doesn't necessary mean a strong attack... but still...!

If I was the old me, I'd complain.

It should be from a robot that transforms using electromagnetic waves, and then attacks the enemy with a fatal technique!


Sadina spins through the Wrath Dragon.

Gaelion takes a hit, and the mass of water disappears.


“How do you like that...!?” (Sadina)


Sadina lands beside the Wrath Dragon's shoulder. I check the Wrath Dragon’s condition.

There's a gaping hole in his abdomen, but despite stumbling, he still advances toward us. When he gets close to me, he roars.

It feels like victory is beyond hope.


“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” (Wrath Dragon)

“He's tougher than nails... Onee-san, don’t overdo yourself!” (Taniko)

『I underestimated thou's emotions. I never expected my strength to swell to this level.』(Wrath Dragon)


Everyone's reaching their limit.

Are Rato and I the only ones that can move?


“Rato, do you have a trick up your sleeve?” (Naofumi)

“It’s, uh… All I have left is defense potion.” (Rato)

“Give it to me.” (Naofumi)

“Alright... Alright.” (Rato)


Rato tosses the medicine into a bucket with hot water without hesitation.

It explodes with a bang, and when it dissolves, a strange smell permeates.


“This was expensive... but we have to do something before we die here.” (Rato)

“Give it up... I’ll lure him, let’s retreat.” (Naofumi)


So this is how this ends.


“I'll keep him here; you all escape first. I'll be right behind you guys.” (Naofumi)


I don’t like self-sacrifice. I mean, I have no intention of going down.

Though I'll eat some attacks, it’ll be fine as long as I can avoid it.

We should escape and kill it later. We should prepare for when Raphtalia arrives.

What about Firo? Is she okay? She can’t die... She’s too cute to die.


...Something’s weird.


I feel something unfamiliar inside.

Was I always like this?


“...It’s time.”


I hear footsteps to go along with a familiar voice.

I peer behind me to see Raphtalia and Atlas arrive on Firo in just the nick of time.


“Raphtalia Onee-chan... please!” (Firo)

“Leave it to me!” (Raphtalia)

“Raphtalia-san, please help Naofumi-sama and the others!” (Atlas)


Did they prepare beforehand? Raphtalia’s sword is shining brightly.

As soon as the Wrath Dragon sees Raphtalia, its mouth gapes open in fright, and it tries to escape into the safety of the sky.

Why? This composure, where'd it come from? Raphtalia is scary.


“I won’t let you escape!” (Raphtalia)


Raphtalia launches herself off of Firo into the air and slashes the Wrath Dragon.


“GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” (Wrath Dragon)


It lets out a loud cry. Raphtalia's swing creates fierce wind pressure, and the dragon is cut in half. Two halves fall to the ground.


“Father… I’m sorry. I won’t look back any more.” (Taniko)

『…』(Wrath Dragon)


I stare at Taniko’s back as she clasps her hands together and shed tears for Gaelion.
