Everyone gathers around the dead dragon. Looking at it up close once again, it’s huge. These people have done well defeating it in close quarter combat.
“Well done, Masaru!”
“Incredible, Masaru!”
“Elizabeth did a good job too.”
All the gathered people welcomed us two.
“Fufufun. It’s thanks to the strategy I thought of!”
Elizabeth is getting cocky. Although, in the first place if her self-proclaimed strongest magic hadn’t failed, we might not had to endure such hardship? Certainly, it was a strong magic though. I’m not the one to talk either when my first attack ended up missing.
In my opinion the most valuable player was the tank. Didn’t he withstood face to face the dragon’s attacks 3 times? He isn’t half-assed. Looking for the tank, there he is. He was patting the corpse of dragon. I don’t know his face because of the full body armor, but since he’s standing and moving he’s okay? However, the shield on his left hand is deformed and his armor is pitch black with soot.
“Excuse me, are your wounds okay?”
“Yea, I drank a potion and I can use healing magic a little bit, I healed myself to walking condition. I wonder if I could do one more battle if told to?”
No no! Don’t force yourself!
“I have magic power to spare, I’ll use healing magic.”
“Oh, is that so? Please. Honestly it’s still difficult to even stand.”
As expected, he’s feigning being okay? [Heal], [Heal], [Heal] with this much will it be enough? While I’m at it I use Cleanup too and clean the armor. With the soot removed I could see the armor is dented and worn-out here and there.
“Ohhh, I got a good deal better. Thank you for cleaning my armor too.”
You’re telling me he didn’t completely recover?! [Heal], [Heal], [Heal], Hurriedly an additional 3 were used.
“Yeah, I’m alright now. Thank you. As expected, it’s nice having a healer.”
“Even I would do the same if I had magic power remaining.”
Watching the state of the medical treatment, Elizabeth said to me while pouting.
“There’s no helping it since Elizabeth carried me while using Fly. As for me, look, I only shot once and didn’t use too much Magic Power.”
Why am I saying what look like excuses? Despite giving medical treatment to Elizabeth’s comrade. I’m a bit unconvinced.
“That’s right! It’s thanks to me that we defeated the dragon!”
Immediately Elizabeth got in good spirits. So simple.
“Any additional injured people, I’ll heal them.”
Looks like if I stay beside Elizabeth like that, I’ll stepping on another landmine.
There were several injured people, but not as severely as the tank, so their medical treatment was done quickly. It’s miraculous that nobody died. That last breath attack, would we have survived if we received it directly? Perhaps even if we didn’t die from the breath, we’d have lost consciousness and died with fall.
“Instructor, I’ve heard it can’t use its breath consecutively, however that last one…”
“Uh-huh, I see. Probably, it was quite forcefully using it. I feel that breath was fairly weak. Moreover, I didn’t use, not even once, after that. There’s the possibility that it was from the fall’s damage though.”
I see. As a final desperation act? I’m glad I didn’t die! This late I came to understand how I barely survived and started shaking.
“And then, this dragon. It might be a superior kind.
“Undoubtedly so! There’s no way it would still stand after eating my Mega Thunder!”
In regards to thunder type magic, due to electric shock it also has a paralysis effect. For a short time by all rights, it certainly did stop its movement or so.
“Speaking of superior kind?”
“Literally, the kind that’s in a higher order than a common dragon. Stronger, more intelligent and cunning. Although it’s not like I have fought with that many dragons.”
“That’s right. There’s the possibility. We shouldn’t had this much trouble for one this size.”
The leader from Dawn’s Battleaxe said that. I forgot his name. I’m sure he had the nickname Fresh Blood. I can’t memorize 20 names all at once anyways. Let’s ask Elizabeth later the name of the tank.
“We must have the guild examine it once we return. Masaru, can you transport it?”
Yeah, with a nod I stow the dragon. No matter how big it only takes one slot. As ever, it’s a cheat. I wonder, if I can carry something this size, can a house fit in? What about a large tree around that size? Store. Won’t work? Could it be because it has roots growing in the ground? Looks like a house is impossible. As expected the cheat won’t work to that extent. While I was testing storing things in items, Elizabeth was staring this way. What is it? Did she get in a bad mood again?
“It’s still unfair. Come on, how do you do that? Don’t be stingy and teach me too!.”
Unh. Does it give an uncomfortable feeling looking at it as main job wizard? I must smoothly deceive her here.
“Weren’t you practicing steadily?”
“Ugh. I was already doing it! But give me some kind of hint!”
“Umm, although I have said it before, I did it ordinarily and it’s not like I was doing anything in particular. Is that kind of talent? Like being cut out for certain things?
“I wonder if I’m not suited for spatial magic?”
Even if you told me that…
“Look, I can’t use a terrific Thunder like Elizabeth can. That was amazing! It was my first time seeing something like that. Instead I’m the one who would want to be taught wind magic of such level.”
