Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari:Web Chapter 182

Wrath Dragon

“G U R U !?” (Gaelion)

That way of speaking stopped Gaelion’s movements.

Oh! Did the parent-child love move his heart?

Is that it?

“Father?” (Taniko)

“Eh?” (Naofumi)

“I had my hunch; I knew it! I was right.” (Rat)

Rat is muttering something, looks like she’s convinced.

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

Taniko nods and then talks to Gaelion.

“It’s true. There are stories about children who grew up in the wilderness, and those stories usually include demons, monsters, and dragons.” (Rat)

What the? That’s a typical wolf boy phrase.

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.

In the first place, the rotten dragon is…….. Impossible. In this case, did the dragon become her parent while it was alive?

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

Why does Sadina know how to use that magic?

Sadina looks this 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 that hero who took away everything from you. However, troubling others won’t change anything in this world... So please stop it!”

“GU……” (Gaelion)

Gaelion is groaning; it seems like Taniko’s words are affecting him.

I covered my ears with both of 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. They were different from the people in the village who laughed while taking away father’s treasures.”

Taniko is crying from remembering all the things that happened while trying to persuade Gaelion.

I simply covered my ears, not wanting to hear their conversation.

Don’t tell me, when a dragon raises an adopted child…. It violates one’s process of maturity. Am I being influenced by games too much?

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

“G Y A O O O O O O!” (Wrath Dragon)

And then something began to move inside his head intensely.

And....

“Gyaa… Gyaaa...”

“Gyu aaaa...”

Something that looks like a newborn Gaelion comes out from the dragon’s mouth.

The experience level and growth element has been sucked along with him; seems like that prevents the dragon from rampaging.

And then… The figure of the dragon that we fought earlier became covered in black and started dissolving while glaring at us.

After that, I turn my gaze towards Taniko.

“Father.. I will do anything… I will stop you.” (Taniko)

When Taniko came back to her senses, Melty and Sadina took huge breaths.

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

“Understood.” (Sadina)

“I have no choice but to do it.” (Melty)

The 3 of them gathered and started chanting choral magic.

That was really fast, Taniko’s chant seems like it’s affecting him.

I don’t think so. The small Gaelion flapped its wings and flew to the 3 of them chanting the magic.

Then I directed my focus at the black-dyed dragon that's melting.

“ＧＹＡＯＯＯＯＯＯＯ ! “ (Wrath Dragon)

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

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

“How does it look?” (Naofumi)

It’s the Dark Curse Burning’s flame. Well... the flame is getting weak, so you cannot consider it as a fatal injury.

Though it felt like receiving a curse combined with another curse for additional damage.

“My curse resistance decreased, but there’s holy water, so we don’t have to worry about that. And somehow, the chant that they’re doing affects it.” (Naofumi)

I move closely to protect Taniko and the others.

Gaelion leaps towards us, and I hold my ground.

“It’s dangerous, get back.”

『This is perilous』 (Gaelion)

“Wha... “

Gaelion spoke.

However, why is his voice so low?

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

“You..." (Naofumi)

So he’s the father version of Gaelion.

It’s not the child version of Gaerion who is doing the possessing.

『My daughter’s growth has been a good one. Hero of the Shield, there is one thing that I’d like to teach you. Did you even notice?』(Gaelion)

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

I glare at Gaelion with hostility.

It’s a different name, or should I say that I understand what his status has become?

Wrath Dragon

The name of the black dragon slowly disappearing within my sight.

『The corruption within me ate all your hatred away. All of the hate that gathered took form and that is what’s making me lose control. Hurry, kill me before I start rampaging again.』(Gaelion)

“Don’t you understand? I cannot attack you.” (Naofumi)

Originally, I could attack enemies because of the Wrath Shield. However, I can’t do it if I can’t summon the shield.

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

“Yes yes, that is something that I always 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 me and Rat 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.
