Chapter 25: Dragon
Water Magician
The day after the battle to the death with One Eye, Ryo returned to the battlefield.
He didnât have any specific reason for doing so. It was on a whim.
Seeing the battlefield once more, he finally felt a sense of victory.
But that was not a place for joy â¦
Something landed in front of Ryo.
Ryoâs mind turned blank the moment he saw it.
Except for just one phrase.
The end.
(Dragon â¦â¦)
A dragon that shined red and had a total body length of 50 meters.
His mind was entirely blank but it started spinning at high speed after a few seconds.
(Why is a dragon here? No, that doesnât matter right now. I have to do something to escape. No, is it even possible to escape? That is impossible no matter how I look at it. Fight? No, impossible. Even if the world is overturned, it is impossible to fight that. Thereâs too much of a difference in our class as living organisms. No joke, it could kill me with just the tip of its little finger.)
He was thinking desperately so he didnât catch it.
>
The voice that spoke directly into Ryoâs mind.
>
âEh? What? I hear something?â
Ryo finally returned to reality.
>
âThis is telepathy ⦠Ah, yes Iâm sorry, my mind was shaken. I can hear you.â
>
âEh â¦..â
He had more than seen it.
So much so that it was probably the One Eye that Ryo killed the day before.
On one hand, it didnât seem like it would be possible to lie and on the other hand, even if he did, it would be a disaster once he was exposed.
âYes, I have.â
Ryo replied and told the truth.
Everything from his fated connection with the one-eyed Assassin Hawk to the result of yesterdayâs battle.
âIf it was your kin, I am terribly sorry. I apologize.â
Ryo said and lowered his head.
>
The dragon replied and thought for a while before opening its mouth. No, it spoke with telepathy.
>
âYes, it did! That was terrible! Iâm a magician so magic nullification is breaking the rules.â
Yup yup, the dragon nodded.
Then, its gaze suddenly stopped at Ryoâs waist.
>
âWaist?â
Ryo took out Murasame and showed it.
By now, the initial fear of the dragon had disappeared.
Ryoâs nerves may be thicker than he thinks.
>
âFairy King? This was given to me by the Dullahan that appeared every night at the lake in the northern wetlands â¦â
In Irish folklore, Dullahans are fairies.
>
âAh, I am a Water Attribute Magician so it gave it to me. Thanks to this sword, I was able to survive yesterday.â
>
âEh? No ⦠it taught me swordsmanship and did not show magic to me even once â¦â
>
Fufufu, Ryo didnât know what was interesting but the Dragon laughed.
âUm, I have some questions to ask but â¦â
>
The dragon nodded magnanimously.
âI wish to know the size of this Rondo Forest and what kind of place it is.â
>
âAh, thatâs right, that is correct ⦠sorry.â
>
âContinent â¦â
Ryo failed to imagine it.
Well, he did wish to Michael (pseudonym) for âa slow life where there are no peopleâ ⦠but this was too extreme.
>
Wahahahaha, the dragon laughed out loud.
âSo this is such an isolated world â¦â
>
It wasnât something to hide in particular so Ryo told it that he was reincarnated from a different world.
>
At that moment, a roar was heard coming from the east.
>
After saying that, it stood up ready to fly off.
âU-um, please at least tell me your name. I am Ryo.â
>
Ruwin said before flying off to the east.
âPhew ⦠dragons have such oppressive force. I wonder if its position is like a gatekeeper who surveys the surroundings ⦠Thatâs why it had such a presence ⦠I canât imagine the top rank of that mountain. Yeah, I will make sure to keep away.â
He once again vowed strongly to his heart.
On the other hand, Ruwin, the ãDragon Kingã, headed for the east mountain.
>
It was a long time before Ryo met Ruwin again.
As for the Dullahan who seems to be the Fairy King, Ryo would continue to practice swordsmanship as usual tonight.
Yes, being taught Water Magic ⦠didnât happen after all.
