Chapter 28 – The Most Powerful Demon King in History. Slays Monsters Again
The club wielded by the Orc Lord is fast.
However, it falls short of catching Lumiel.
“Haaaaaaah!”
She dodged the club and slashed the Orc Lord’s leg with the sword I gave her.
As soon as the Orc Lord fell, she cut off its head.
The residents cheered from the other side of the barricade.
Lumiel looked at me and smiled happily.
“I did it, Master.”
“You’ve grown stronger. I haven’t taught you much.”
“No, it’s thanks to Master’s teachings.”
From the first time I met her, Lumiel had been fighting on equal terms with Orc Lords.
I only trained her on how to use magic for a few days.
That’s all, but Lumiel had become unusually strong.
「This is the Hero. How terrifying, Your Majesty.」
「As long as she’s reliable.」
Jorm snorted in dissatisfaction, as if he didn’t agree with my opinion.
“Princess! Thank you!”
Jessica and the other human residents were overjoyed and came running towards us.
I shouted at them.
“Wait! It’s not over yet.”
“Huh? Mr. Hyrum, isn’t that monster dead already?”
Jessica stopped in her tracks with a worried look on her face.
“This one’s dead, but I can still feel the presence of monsters. What about you, Lumiel?”
“Y, yes! Master. I feel a strange presence!”
As one would expect from a Hero, Lumiel is very sensitive to such signs.
“That’s how it is. It will take a little while longer until we exterminate the monsters. Please wait.”
“Mr. Hyrum, princess, be careful!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t be defeated by an enemy of this caliber.”
Almost at the same time as I said this to Jessica, a magic circle appeared on the Orc Lord’s body.
A dragon the size of a large house emerged from the magic circle.
A full-grown dragon, the so-called Elder Dragon.
It is highly intelligent and possesses great magical power. It would have no problem destroying a single city.
“Hi, hiiiiiiiiii”
The elven knights and the Lord’s men all fled en masse.
The human inhabitants cannot escape because their homes are in this area.
Perhaps they felt that there was nowhere to go even if they ran.
“An Adult Dragon Zombie!”
Jorm exclaimed in surprise.
Dragon Zombies are dragons that have been turned into undead.
Though dead, it is an unfortunate creature whose soul is forcibly bound to a corpse.
“The necromancer was defeated by the princess yesterday.”
“This is on a different level than yesterday! Even if it’s rotten, it’s still a dragon!”
Certainly, it is different from the ghosts and skeletons from yesterday.
“Just to be sure, this isn’t an acquaintance of yours, is it, Jorm?”
“It is not!”
If that’s the case, there’s no need to hesitate to destroy it.
“D, dragon.”
Lumiel is also surprised.
Lumiel is very fond of Jorm. She probably likes dragons.
So I say this just to be sure.
“Even dragons can be turned into dragon zombies. It’s impossible to talk to them. This pitiful fellow needs to be destroyed. Do you understand?”
“I-I understand.”
“Leave the defense to us, go on the offensive.”
“Yes!”
As soon as she replied, Lumiel slashed at the dragon zombie.
“GUOOOOOAAAAAA!”
The dragon zombie roared. It’s the dragon’s roar, which is a specialty of the dragon species.
The sound contains magical power, and if taken head-on, an ordinary person will fall into a state of panic.
There will probably be some damage on the other side of the barricade as well.
However, it is much weaker compared to Jorm’s dragon roar.
Due to the distance, the residents will probably suffer little damage.
However, from the immediate vicinity of the dragon zombie.
“Hae ~eea~eee~a~eeaaahh!”
A strange voice was heard. It was the voice of the Lord.
The Lord is in a state of panic, having heard the dragon’s roar up close.
“He was staying hidden with devious intentions.”
I threw the Lord at the Orc Lord, who knocked him down with a club.
Then, under his breath, he cast healing magic, waiting for an opportunity to attack us.
I was aware of this, of course, but I ignored it, thinking it was harmless.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaahh!”
Lumiel, on the other hand, is completely unfazed by the roar.
She lunges forward and swings her sword at the dragon zombie.
She parries its claws, evades its fangs, and slices through its scales.
“GOAAAAAA!”
It roared again, unleashing its fiery dragon breath.
It is similar to Jorm’s actions. It may be a basic dragon tactic.
Lumiel cuts the dragon breath with her sword.
It could have spread to the houses, so I used my magic to block it.
『…… This is why I am wary of heroes.』
Jorm, a dragon species, is understandably lamenting.
She is completely unfazed by the roar. She can also easily slash the breath with a sword.
And even the sturdy scales are like paper before the Hero.
『It is enough to be called the natural enemy of dragons. There is almost nothing I can do.』
“TaaaaaAAAAAAAAH!”
Lumiel didn’t struggle and in no time at all, she decapitated the dragon zombie’s head.
Immediately after the head fell off,
『My Gratitude!』
I heard the Dragon Zombie’s telepathy.
“May you rest in peace”
“……”
And the soul of the dragon zombie returned to the heavens.
