"Holy Light, do you see that evil? They're so strong … Why did they collapse just like that?"
A heroic Knight wielding a holy sword as he charged at an evil dragon would forever be the most hot-blooded classic scene in epics and dramas. But if the situation developed to the point where fully armed adults were bullying animals, I would be rendered speechless.
"You're dragons! You're powerful lizards that can fly and breathe fire! How can you be so weak!?"
No matter which branch of Dragons they were, they all had thick skin and thick flesh. I had originally intended to first use the long-range firepower of the fortress to grind them down a little before personally joining the fray to put on a good show of fighting against dragons. This would also increase my reputation with the dwarves so that it would be easier to exchange for some equipment later.
"One round, just one round of anti-air firepower, and you're already heavily injured. I only swung my sword twice, and all of you collapsed. Are you really dragons?"
Even though the black dragons were suddenly ambushed when they peeked out from the clouds, and even though the first wave of attacks was aimed at their vitals under my guidance, these three black dragons collapsed far too quickly.
They had indeed tried to resist, charging at the ground while facing the cannons (actually, they wanted to explain) … but unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong target. As a Holy Knight who stood in the most obvious location, I was quite happy to have a chance to increase my reputation.
In the end, I excitedly pulled out my sword, but before I could even use my full strength, they all collapsed …
"You're being too vicious?"
"Not at all. I'm a veteran actor, and I know how to control my strength. The adult black dragons probably only hurt without injuring them for half an hour … I mean, they must have gone through a long and difficult battle before finally collapsing. Little dragons, you're not acting according to the script. "
But soon, I discovered the reason why they were so weak …
"Half a tail, one eye, and a broken wing? What happened to you? "
This type of injury wasn't something that could be easily caused. The magic around the injury was currently preventing the Dragons' natural healing abilities. These black dragons were already heavily injured before they even arrived.
Now, the black dragons had collapsed into a ball of flesh. The dwarves had specially bound them with enchanted black chains, and they formed a small hill together.
The Black Dragons weren't in a good situation. They were pitifully lying on the ground. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were only breathing out and not breathing in. I felt sad for them when I saw that they still had to come out to make a living despite being heavily injured.
"Tsk, it's all burnt. Its whole body is burnt black. Looks like it's a ferocious dragon."
"Black dragons are originally black, but I can smell the aroma of meat. It's at least seventy percent well-done."
"These claw marks, teeth marks, burn marks, and the Flame Mana around the wounds … Why do they look so familiar …"
"Don't be too familiar with him. Being able to turn a Black Dragon with an astonishing innate magic resistance into barbecued meat, an Immemorial Red Dragon must be a master of wind and fire."
At this point, I had a vague guess. However, the aroma of roasted meat assaulted my nostrils.
"… Don't mention it. Smelling this roasted meat reminds me of the black dragon tail feast from two days ago. I feel like vomiting."
"Actually, I'm not picky. Dragon meat contains high magic power and is very nourishing. Anyway, it's the same for Slimes."
Finally, the black dragons couldn't take it anymore that their opponents were discussing the taste of dragon meat in front of them.
"Miss Cat, black dragon meat is poisonous. You can't eat it."
The pitiful prey was explaining to the hunter that their meat was poisonous. This was an incredibly comical scene.
Forget it, I shouldn't hit the unlucky ones while they're down … Talking about such a sad topic, these black dragon beauties were looking at me with sad and hurt expressions, making me feel like I couldn't take it anymore.
Yep, beauties, she. I wasn't wrong. These three black dragons were all female dragons. It would seem that they were sisters born from the same mother.
Perhaps outsiders wouldn't be able to tell the age and gender of Dragons, but I had fought with Dragons for half my life, so I could easily tell the strength of a Dragon's bloodline through their magical senses. This was especially true for Black and Red Dragons, who were common residents of the Underground … I really didn't have the habit of dissecting dragons. Those rumors about me being a "Midnight Dragonslayer Master" were nothing more than rumors meant to slander me!
What? Why couldn't I tell Dragons apart from their appearances? I was overthinking things. Humans and chimpanzees were still relatively new. Was there anyone who could tell a chimpanzee's appearance and gender from their appearances?
Compared to Hakas, who was already more than two hundred years old, these young black dragons had probably just left their nests and obtained the freedom to hunt on their own. Their mana was pitifully low.
If Hakas was an adult who had learned how to use some of his species' natural talents and magic, these young Dragons would probably still be hot-blooded teenagers who only fought on their own.
However, young dragons had their own advantages. They were small, so their reactions were naturally fast. Plus, they had sharp fangs, claws, and dragon breath, which meant that they were quite strong in melee combat. Still, they were injured to such an extent, and they even actively fought against a high-level Holy Knight. It was obvious that they were suicidal.
When I asked them why they were here, they didn't answer. They only kept saying things that had nothing to do with them. It was obvious that they were nothing more than lackeys who couldn't make decisions for themselves.
Even if they didn't say anything, I could guess what their goal was. But since they had already been defeated and captured, saying that they were here to help would be no different from finding an excuse to surrender without any backbone.
"Save me, Boss! There's someone even more vicious outside!"
Just as I thought of Hakas, I heard his scream in midair.
When I looked up, I saw a black dragon in its prime fleeing at high speed. Behind it, there was a red cloud floating in the air that seemed rather familiar.
"Isn't that Little Red …"
I unhesitatingly covered Harloys' mouth. The dwarves were still nearby. It was understandable that Hakas had accompanied me to the market, but it would be impossible to explain Little Red. Not to mention …
"A big red dragon! That's an evil big red dragon, one of our goals in this trip to the Chaos Abyss! "
I unhesitatingly used my War Angel form and flew towards Little Red. I summoned Holy Light as I flew, just like a meteor of Holy Light streaking across the sky.
The dwarves below were making a ruckus. They probably thought that I was preparing an ultimate attack, but my true goal was to make it so that nobody could see what I was going to do next.
Little Red unhesitatingly spat out a tremendous dragon breath that enveloped me. The dwarves below kept shouting in surprise, but I didn't feel any heat at all.
"What do you like?"
"What treasures do the lizardmen have? Thank you for all the trouble. "
Our simultaneous words made us feel a little helpless. Where did these bandits come from that had such great teamwork? This time, two bandits had reached into the same pocket?
"The lizardmen have a mystical item that's related to the Dragon Bloodline. It's capable of summoning and enslaving high-level dragons. I suspect that it's a God Equipment, or at the very least a SemiGod Equipment. If I like it, it's mine! "
"The dwarves have accumulated quite a lot of ores. I can use them to make a sword. There's also a stable teleportation portal to the lower planes in the fortress."
We speedily discussed our goals and harvests. In the eyes of the dwarves, it was the angel form Holy Knight roaring as he fought against the big red dragon.
Since they were mortal enemies, there was no need for words to be exchanged. Holy Light illuminated half the sky as the dragon's angry roars shook the earth. Just the shockwaves from the battle caused dragonfire to melt the walls of the mountain!
The dwarves below were running for their lives. Such a powerful existence had far surpassed their expectations. They had long since expected that the Immemorial Dragon would be so frightening. It turned out that the Holy Knight who seemed like a nice guy was actually this powerful!
"Those black dragons are your subordinates?"
"That stupid dragon is under your command?"
Alright then. With so many years of tacit understanding between us, there was no need for any unnecessary words. We understood each other's actions. And judging from our goals, we had completely clashed.
"Evenly?"
"Evenly! The God Equipment belongs to me. I'll compensate you. "
We exchanged glances. We had come to an agreement. The next instant, I spread my wings and gathered Holy Light as I roared angrily.
"Ahhh! Evil must be judged! Eat my great … great sword! "
Glorious Holy Light transformed into a gigantic sword that sliced at the big red dragon's wings. It seemed mighty and domineering, but it was actually quite weak due to the fact that the Holy Light was overly scattered.
However, the red dragon fell to the ground. Thick smoke and flames even appeared where it was sliced, as if it had been burned by the Holy Light.
"Damned insect of Holy Light! How many more times can you withstand such a powerful attack? Just you wait, insect. Watch out for your head and back. I'll take revenge! I'll be back! "
Little Red tossed me the necessary lines of a villain. She didn't even look at the little black dragons who were tearfully looking at her. She turned around and flew away.
When I landed on the ground, I was greeted by the wild cheers of the dark dwarves that even I felt a little embarrassed about.
