Chapter 129 – Ep.8 – Return
***
[Loaded to the save point.]
“Ha… “
Again, in front of the burning Lemün.
The women stop and walk to Delrin’s side, starting a serious discussion.
“What are you going to do? The dragon wants Delrin, so she can’t even get through!”
The discussion, which begins with Chichi’s harsh remarks, soon spreads to women’s quarrels.
“What the heck, I have to grab it and go.”
“Catch it!? Are you crazy Do you think dragons can be caught with just a sword!?”
“You cannot fight a dragon… ! The dragon is unreasonable! We have to avoid it somehow!”
When they stop walking down the street and start an argument out of the blue, Helen and Eva are puzzled.
Soon Helen realizes what has happened and she calmly makes up her mind before taking Eva.
“Miss Eva. We are out for a while.”
“Yes yes… ? No, what happened… “
Watching them walk away, Delrin sighs deeply and tells her sisters.
“First of all, stop fighting… ! Still, we have a load, right?”
In his mind, several games that his old friends enjoyed playing come to mind. I caught the boss, but I caught it while figuring out the pattern while constantly bumping into it recklessly.
Wouldn’t it be possible to use the load in that way even now? I put a rough save near the dragon, and keep loading it until I can catch it…
“Never win. This is not something that can be solved by repeating it countless times.”
However, Kaede firmly refuses. In front of absolute power, even countless attempts by weak beings do not work.
Pointing a sword at a dragon and repeating it hundreds or even thousands of times is meaningless if the sword cannot pierce its hide.
Save and load are great features, but you can’t defeat a dragon with just that…
However, Riko doesn’t play around with the words of Kaede or the like. She is full of confidence. Her body, stronger than before, doesn’t seem to lose no matter what she fights.
“Scared. She hasn’t even been in a fight yet, so what is she pecking while peeing or slurping? You must have fought a dragon before, but you lost because you were weak, and I can win enough. Delrin? Let’s go.”
“I didn’t say I couldn’t win! Listen to the little man! Philmarck, you have not been defeated by a small person before! Can never win… Khehe!”
Kaede’s screaming voice is blocked by Riko’s hand. Kaede, who had been pulled up into the air, struggled in the air and whimpered.
“Shut up and follow me. Because I can win.”
Riko, much stronger than before, threw her Kaede to the ground and put her feet up again. Seeing this, Chichi and Neva are startled and think about what the hell happened, but there is no way to get an answer.
“Lee, Rico-sister! Just wait!”
Only Delrin and Rico know the answer. Strengthening in countless rods is a secret between the two of them.
——————————
Led by Rico, the women headed straight for the dragon. Even though they didn’t load, Belial, the lord of Lemün, told Delrin and the others about the dragon’s nest, so it wasn’t too difficult to get there.
“When the mine was being developed before, the dragon opened its eyes, but why is it threatening us, saying that a boy who received a revelation is coming soon… !”
“Didn’t you tell me why you were looking for that boy?”
“Until that point, we are doing well… “
Only Delrin and Eva, who did not participate in the battle, remained in Lemün and stayed by the Dwarves and waited for them. She had no particular reason to dissuade her from leaving after arguing that she could defeat even a dragon.
Even if you die, you can load it anyway, and if you really catch it, it’s good…
Anyway.
Delrin stays in Lemün with Eva and waits for the women to safely swarm the dragon.
Just waiting would be like wasting time, so I dug up information from the dwarves. It was a situation that was no different from women willingly stepping out for them, so it was very easy for him to dig up information. Everyone is happy to answer.
Why the dragon wants a man,
What is the geography within the Dwarf Kingdom?
How are the elves doing these days…
There weren’t many people who gave us useful answers, but we were able to get information that could help us on our journey.
“Originally, I heard that dragons want men. It is said that he catches smooth children and makes them his slaves, and later eats them when they are old.”
“If you want to go all the way down there, follow the Kshal Mountains to the west. There is a river flowing, and if you follow the river, the ground is flat and it is easy to walk.”
“This is an area where even elves can’t see ears, so I don’t know, but I hope I hear rumors from time to time. It’s not just us dwarves that are having such a hard time, they say they suffer from headaches too… What was that? Was it a black magician… ?”
“Black Mage… ?”
I want to say something suddenly, but I don’t think it’s a particularly important story, so let’s not worry about it.
Now is not the time to care about that. There is a dragon in front of me right now, so the first thing to do is to solve it.
“Whew…”
Let Rico tell him before he leaves,
[Save here now, load if one of us comes back injured, or if they don’t come back after an hour.]
It was a kind of strategy.
She was the one who left with her boast that she could defeat the dragon, but she wasn’t so proud that she didn’t care if they were defeated.
Perhaps she, too, seemed prepared to repeat the load several times.
Because dragons are not easy beings.
Rico had told him the strategy to use save and load.
It’s been an hour since I put my save on.
Now he calls out to load.
“Road.”
[Loaded to the save point.]
—————————————
“You should have blocked it well from the front, you asshole! No, you raise your front foot, but can’t you block it even after seeing it?”
“It was an attack that could not be blocked. Avoiding everything was the priority.”
“Is a shield a form? A knight, if that’s the case, just shoot a bow from behind.”
“No, more than that, isn’t everyone fighting too thoughtlessly!? While I’m crafting attack magic, I should’ve caught the dragon’s attention so it didn’t attack me!”
“Look at this. I didn’t say you couldn’t win. No matter how many times you load it, it will be the same.”
“Well, I can’t keep up with the Lord, so I can’t say anything, but if we just criticize each other like this, will we be able to defeat the dragon?”
“In the first place, that bastard lost because he couldn’t do anything and just trembled. Ehehe.”
“If you don’t know anything, don’t open your mouth! I’ve already told you that dragons cannot be defeated in this state! It’s because you didn’t follow me, so why are you blaming me!”
After one load is over, they quarrel, blaming each other and discussing the cause of their defeat.
“It’s okay, so everyone just shut up and follow me. First of all, let’s spend about 10 times… To see how far that bastard can fight.”
Delrin engraves the image of them leaving, and repeatedly digs up information from the dwarves.
However, there is a limit to the information that the Dwarves know.
After about five iterations, she changes her strategy to not seeking out any more information, but to sitting still and waiting for the women.
“Haam…”
“Everyone will die. Fools…”
Sitting next to him is Eva, always trembling and restless.
She engraves the images of the departed women, and tries to stop them from going,
She always sits still and cries, unable to get her words out of her mouth.
“Just die! It’s as good as giving up your life. Fools, fools…”
After 10 loads.
“I didn’t know you could breathe! No, in the first place, can you avoid it?”
“It’s impossible to escape inside the cave. We have to lure them outside and fight.”
“Neva, can’t you block the breath with that defense technique?”
“…I can’t stop it.”
“…”
The women now continue to tell quite strategic stories.
Still, it seems that their attacks are working to some extent.
That’s why they don’t stop subjugating dragons.
After 16 loads.
“Hey, sister, sister…”
“…No, if you’re going to call me crying like that, just tell me not to go…”
“Shut up! What do you know! Men are all the same, just stupid, stupid, dirty!”
“…Yes.”
After 21 loads.
“I think the lower part of the eye is weak. When I was hit by the dagger thrown by Mr. Pilmarck, the reaction was more intense than usual.”
“I felt it too.”
“I’m going to stare at it as much as I can, so you guys should look at it from behind.”
“…”
“Neva, why didn’t you talk earlier?”
“You don’t fight with all your heart when you fight! Try to block it properly! When we fought earlier, it was definitely possible to block it, but you couldn’t block it properly!”
One time, Chi-Chi, whose leg was blown off, came flying on a broom and shouted to load,
Once, Kaede, who had been dragging her frozen legs, shouted for a load,
One time, Rico crawls hard and shouts her load…
Quite a lot of time passes.
Of course, it just takes a lot of time to feel it.
The same time always repeats itself.
Delrin spends her time sitting still, cheering on the women, and having occasional conversations with the weeping Eva.
I don’t think it’s boring.
How could she say that she was bored when other women were fighting to the death for her?
I just pray that they will successfully subdue the dragon and come see me.
I hope that no one gets hurt and everyone survives and catches the dragon nicely…
Was it because of that prayer?
The women are no longer discussing the dragon’s attack, but they are starting to discuss how they can all survive.
“First of all, Helen, you have to be alive. She then, no matter how injured she is, she can all come back alive.”
“Okay. I’ll have to be careful. I’ll try to survive as long as possible, so don’t worry.”
Once Rico came back alive,
Once with Kaede, once with Chichi…
However.
Oddly enough.
After the 49th subjugation attempt,
Neva, who was not injured anywhere, came down to Lemün again.
“Sister…!”
“Oh, warrior! Did you defeat the dragon!”
“…”
She was speechless
“Sister Neva! What about the other sisters?”
“…”
“Ah… Failed again. Shall we load?”
Seeing her come back alive, Eva cried and was annoyed at her and held her in Neva’s arms.
There was no expression on Neva’s face.
“Sister Neva?”
“…No, it will come soon. It worked.”
“Succeeded!? As expected, the older sisters are the best!”
Delrin, like her Eva, ran to her Neva and gave her a tight hug.
Finally, there is no need to repeat this grueling load.
Loading close to 50 hours!
In a world with no games, no TV,
It was the end of waiting for 50 hours just watching the floating clouds.
“Good job! Really!”
“Everyone, let’s live for these warriors! Hooray! Warriors, live!”
Everyone’s faces were full of smiles.
Delin laughed too.
Eva also laughed for the first time,
All the dwarves laughed…
“…”
Nevado,
While hugging Delrin and Eva,
She laughed lightly.
Although there was blood on her body,
No one suspected the blood.
Because she was a warrior who came after a long bloody battle with the dragon.
I had no doubt that the blood was of the dragon.
