As a Leader
1017 Words
This weapon was used once when fighting against the Golden Dragon Emperor and made him seriously injured even though it didn't kill him.
That chance was enough to create a gap to separate the Golden Dragon Emperor's soul from his original body.
And as recorded in history, the body of the Golden Dragon Emperor raged afterwards.
It was the most terrible disaster in the continent's dark history.
"How is Grayford?"
"According to the palace doctor, he is still unconscious because he lost a lot of blood and broke his left arm. They are trying to recover it with healing magic. He won't wake up for a while."
In the final battle, Grayford was seriously injured due to a brutal attack that tore his left arm.
Strangely, the ancient dragons retreated afterwards, as if they had fulfilled their duties.
But of course, they did not retreat too far. According to the investigation, they had moved back and were preparing to carry out the next attack.
...
I arrived at the Alvion Royal Palace after a day of travel.
I was quite welcomed when I arrived. However, I was not the first to arrive here, but it was Rayford.
He must have come here soon after knowing his brother's condition. He might be worried now.
Meanwhile, the scouts I sent haven't returned yet. I was a little worried, but Fenrir assured me that everything was fine.
"Master, do I need to send one more"
"That's not necessary. I want you to gather as much strength as possible immediately"
It so happened that tonight was the night of the full moon. Lunarian Werewolf gains strength through the moon, the rarer the phases of the moon, the better their development.
At times like this, I just can't feel calm.
In the ancient book that I read, there are some who have the power to utilize the power of nature better than the Lunarian Werewolf.
I really hope this isn't what I imagined.
It's terrible if it really happens.
Fighting monsters of that level, I wasn't even sure I could win even though the candidates fought together.
Maybe it's also because I myself don't know the true strength of my entire partner.
I still remember Arvan's abilities. His scythe was great, but that power could not last long.
Likewise, with my Spirit Fusion ability, it can only last for a short time.
Actually, I wish I could develop an interval use of Spirit Fusion when training. But I'm not really ready for this.
In fact, it hasn't even been a week since the election at that time.
I'm very sure we still have the potential to develop further, but not now.
I want to know how many chances we can win.
[Calculating the probability ... 15%]
Ah, thank you for giving me a terrible reality to know.
Seriously! Can't you read the atmosphere !?
[Request incomprehensible]
Yes, that's right. You're very smart but also an i***t.
[That's rude, I also have pride]
?!
So during this time you can answer my questions and can speak normally, but choose to be quiet? At least help me with this problem!
[Master, why are you so stupid?]
Hey! I am still your Master after all!
[You have the answer to this problem in your hands. So why is it bothering me with this matter?]
When him mentioned that, I saw another dagger in my hand.
That's right, I still have something else I haven't tried.
The ability of the golden dragon dagger is [Tamer]. The silver dragon dagger must not be that different, or maybe something similar.
That means abilities related to monsters.
What might occur to me are [Summoner], and [Necromancer].
But the Necromancer is considered heretical magic and is opposed by holy temples.
I would definitely be hunted by the holy shrine if I had the Necromancer ability.
Ah, I need to find another way.
...
After four days I was in the Kingdom of Alvion, the candidates had gathered. Except for Grayford who is still being treated and has not regained consciousness.
Now, even though we just need to go. There is a simple problem that is holding us back.
"So who leads?"
Thus, we are very busy fussing over who takes responsibility as a leader.
"Hey little girl, let me take the lead. I have enough ability for that"
"Huh? Seriously, I don't want to hear that from the person who lost to Alif"
"Fine, fight him if you can"
"It's not necessary, I can see clearly. Alif is not on par with me"
"You must be very scared because that doesn't dare to fight him"
The veins on Sania's face twitched at the ridicule from Arvan.
Lisa frantically tried to mediate between the two.
Reisa and Rayford don't care as usual.
Lerian smiled, apparently not interested in joining the debate.
I sighed. Hey, can't you guys be a little serious about this? Let's stop arguing and decide immediately. I don't care who is chosen.
"Alright! Then Alif will be the leader!"
"I do not mind"
Huh? Wait, aren't you supposed to choose yourself? Why was I involved?
"Do your best, Leader"
Lerian patted my shoulder and gave me support.
Lisa was even speechless, unable to keep up with this sudden development.
Reisa just smiled as if seeing something funny, and Rayford looked away.
Hey! At least please say something!
And so I was chosen to be the leader of this group by force.
Looks like the burden on my shoulders is getting Heavenly.
We entered the forest together, I led the way.
Returning to this forest makes me feel nostalgic. This is where I first almost died and saw the death of someone else.
I pray for uncle Alfred, Wiger, and Geremy. Hopefully, their souls can be rest in peace.
I don't have time to go back to that village. I didn't even dare to meet again with Astra and Este, we were the same, but maybe I would be considered a ghost.
Well, they only see me when I try to be cool at my expense.
[That's not cool, that's stupid]
Hey! Can you stop the scathing comments? It hurts! I'm reminiscing here!
Alright, back to the original topic.
I have some information from the previous Alvion Kingdom warriors.
According to them, they were attacked while trying to enter the forest. They were bombarded by light from the sky that destroyed them.
It caught my attention, one strike can kill many people at once.
Therefore, we have come in full preparation.
No more laughter, no fighting, we seriously came with the intention of killing.
