Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 8 Episode 5 (section)

===Part 2===

At that time, there were the figures of Dragon Marauder who intruded toward the back of the campus building inside the Academy’s ground under the cover of the fighting.

「Oh, you guys are really late. Thanks to that I got tormented a lot you know?」

A young woman with both her hands shackled and chained was smiling inside the jail.

The one in that place inside the Academy’s ground was one of Dragon Marauder’s three bosses who was captured by Lux before this, the Human Dragon division commander Drakkhen. She was receiving questioning here.

Knowing that, the remaining two division commanders of Dragon Marauder came here to save her.

「We already recovered your Asp by making use of this chaos. Let’s get out of her quickly, Drakkhen.」

The one who told her that was a youth who was wearing top and bottom with short length.

The Earth Dragon division commander who was leading the force that basically consisted from Wyrm, Vine.

His features still had innocence remaining in them that was typical for a young boy, but he was clad with the aura of a veteran soldier.

And then the senior who could be said to be in the prime of his life, the man with trait of big body build and darkish skin, Gatouhan.

He was the Heaven Dragon division commander who led a force that had Wyvern as its linchpin, and he was also the leader of Dragon Marauder in essence. Continuing after Vine he showed a bold smile.

「The Sacred Eclipse showed up here. It was a coincidence that even we didn’t anticipate, but it was right after the Drag-Ride hangar was covered with Chaff Slime.」

「……What did you say?」

Drakkhen who was showing composure until then reacted after hearing the words Sacred Eclipse. She showed a forbidding look.

「We planned to withdraw because it would be troublesome even just taking on the Drag-Knights who could move but──, if we make use of this chance, perhaps we can crush even the main force of Seven Dragon Paladins.」

「…………」

When Gatouhan boasted so, Drakkhen unusually showed a baffled expression.

「I’m joking. After that Sacred Eclipse appeared here, our life would also be in danger if we stay here. The subordinates we gathered in order to save you already got devoured. Losing even more force than this will negatively affect our plan in the future.」

「Then that’s fine. Even like this I’m reflecting of how I let my subordinates die last time. ──And, what did our employer say?」

「We’re told to accomplish the objective as it is. Obstructing those guys and conquering Ruin. If we can reach Avalon first, at that point we will be able to obtain this very world itself within our hand. Then day when we who are ostracized as ruffians take everything under heaven as ours won’t be that far.」

「It will be great if we aren’t get outsmarted though. After all our opponents are like that.」

Drakkhen who was released from her shackle smiled bitterly in respond to Gatouhan’s self-assured tone.

「I know about the risk. The problem is the management of the method. Isn’t that right?」

In respond to the question of the young division commander Vine, Drakkhen too nodded 「You aren’t wrong」 honestly.

After that she was carried on the armored arm of the Divine Drag-Ride that Gatouhan piloted and they slipped vigilantly into the darkness, flying away to outside the ground.

「Don’t get greedy, everyone of Seven Dragon Paladins. If your luck is bad, I won’t even have the chance to counterattack at you guys.」

It wasn’t just a sarcasm, but words that came from Drakkhen’s true feeling.

Leaving behind the muttering that was filled with slight expectation, they withdraw from the battle line.
