Wrath Dragon
“G U R U !?” (Gaelion)
Those words stop Gaelion in his tracks.
Did the love for his child move his heart?
“Father?” (Taniko)
“Eh?” (Naofumi)
“I knew my hunch was right!.” (Rat)
Rat mutters to herself, convinced.
“Uhnn, My father… My father is the dragon that occupied this area.” (Taniko)
Taniko reveals this and then turns to Gaelion.
“There are stories about feral children growing up with demons, monsters, and dragons.” (Rat)
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...”
“Gyu aaaa...”
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?” (Rat)
“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. Did you notice?』(Gaelion)
“If I knew what you were talking about, then you wouldn’t have teach 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 disappearing from my sight.
『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.』(Gaelion)
“I have no means of attack anymore.” (Naofumi)
With the Wrath Shield I could finally do some offense. With the shield gone, I can only defend.
『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’ll leave inside the shield all of my memories and all of the experiences that have happened so far, even the unnecessary stuff… I entrust them to you.』(Gaelion)
Seriously, I can’t shake this feeling off. I’m feeling a bit uneasy about this.
Gaelion joined the party to speed up the chanting.
The Wrath Dragon released its attack. The released power of each attack kept on increasing; it was definitely getting stronger.
I’m starting to feel pain and numbness; it's a similar pain that which I felt back then with the curse of Blutopfer. I can’t hold out much longer. This will make me go crazy...
However, I was able to push him back, despite his relentless attacks.
He bites with his full strength; he’s attacking from above me, attempting to pin me down.
I’m using meteor shield and shield prison each time he attacks, along with air strike shield to avoid and stop his attacks.
『The Cursed Earth that brings hatred, but gives the thought of a clear stream washing all the 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 was chanting. The shield was making a relentless noise; I displayed the translation within my sight. Does Sadina notice? I face towards Gaelion.
『『Erase Aqua Splash！』』
『『Water Dragon Destruction Wave！』』
The magic that the three of them chanted is finished, but then, magic power overflows around Gaelion.
“Eh!?” (Taniko)
Taniko raises her voice in surprise, along with Melty, who’s sitting down because of fatigue.
Sadina, with a harpoon on one hand, started to run.
Gaelion gathered the magic power and turned it into a ball.
“Naofumi-chan and Rat-san, support!” (Sadina)
“Ah!” (Rat)
“Zweit Aura!” (Naofumi)
“Fast Power! Fast Magic!” (Rat)
I covered magic support and Rat covered physical attack speed.
“Let's go! Gaelion-chan.” (Sadina)
“Gyauuuuuuuuuuuu!!”
Gaelion cries out.
He takes a deep breath, and blows out the magic ball.
As huge amount of water gushed out from it, we attacked him.
Sadina entered the gushing water, swam, and raised a tornado.
These guys’ attacks are a lot flashier than Raphtalia and Firo. Could it be possible that she is stronger than those two?
But if you think about it, Sadina’s status isn’t really that high.
Is this somehow because of the correction?
You can’t say that it is strong just because it’s flashy... It's bothering me.
If it’s the old me, surely I would complain.
It should be from a robot that transforms using electromagnetic waves to combine, and then attacks the enemy with a fatal technique!
Sadina runs through the Wrath Dragon while spinning.
Gaelion took a hit, and the mass of water disappeared at the same time.
“H-how is that...!?” (Sadina)
Sadina lands beside the Wrath Dragon's shoulder. Of course, I checked the Wrath Dragon’s health.
The dragon has a hole in his abdomen, but despite stumbling, he still walked slowly towards us. When he got near me, he roared.
If felt like victory had sneered at us.
“ＧＹＡＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯＯ！” (Wrath Dragon)
“He has amazing vitality... Onee-san, don’t overdo yourself!” (Taniko)
『I underestimated the emotions of thou. I never expected that after they had been eaten by me, I would have such specs.』(Gaelion)
All of the members have reached their limits.
Are Rat and I the only ones that can move?
“Rat, can you do something about this?”
“It’s, uh…… I only have a medicine that boosts defense at most.”
“Give it to me.”
“Alright... Alright.”
Rat tossed the medicine into the bucket with hot water without any hesitation.
It exploded with a bang, and when it dissolved, a strange smell was created, which stunk in various ways.
“It was quite expensive... but we have to do something before we die here.” (Rat)
“Give it up... I’ll lure him, let’s retreat.” (Naofumi)
It will end like this after all.
“I will keep him here; you guys escape first. I will follow you afterwards.” (Naofumi)
I don’t like self-sacrifice. I mean, I don’t want to do such a thing.
Though I receive damage from it, it’ll be fine as long as I can avoid it.
We should escape first 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 strange.
I’m absolutely feeling strange somewhere.
Did I always have this kind of character?
“...It’s time.”
I heard footsteps and a voice that I’m familiar with.
When I looked back somehow, Raphtalia and Atla riding Firo arrived at just the right time.
“Raphtalia Onee-chan... please!” (Firo)
“Leave it to me!” (Raphtalia)
“Raphtalia-san, please help Naofumi-sama and the others!” (Atla)
Were the preparations for combat done beforehand? Raphtalia’s sword is shining brightly.
As soon as the Wrath Dragon saw Raphtalia, its mouth expanded as though frightened as it turned away, attempting to fly into the sky.
Why is that? That composure that you’re showing, are you not affected? Raphtalia is scary.
“I won’t let you escape!” (Raphtalia)
Raphtalia uses Firo as a stepping stone, leaps, and slashes the Wrath Dragon.
“ＧＹＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡＡ！” (Wrath Dragon)
It raised a loud voice. Along Raphtalia's swing, a fierce wind pressure was created, and the dragon was cut in half. The 2 halves fell to the ground.
“Father…… I’m sorry. I won’t look back any more.” (Taniko)
『……』
I stared at Taniko’s back, who put both hands together and shed tears for Gaelion.
