Chapter 66 Strongest Sage, Feared
The invoked 【Dragon Breath】 wasn't adjusted for a friend at all .
"Mathi-kun!"
I could hear Alma and Ruli's shout .
『Dragon Breath』 is an assembly of extremely sophisticated and fine magic .
Even if it's not at full power, its destructive force is in a wholly different level than anything I've faced so far .
If it hit its target, it would probably blow me and even Ruli and Alma away . There won't even be an ash left .
However, that won't happen .
I instantly kneaded my mana while staring at the breath's mana, and then I trusted my mana into the breath when it got right before me .
--And then the 『Dragon Breath』 vanished almost at the same time my mana touched it .
『Dragon Breath』 is a very fine spell art without any waste .
It's also why it's extremely fragile when the weak part of its spell art gets precisely shot .
""《 . . . . Eh?》""
Two humans and one dragon's overlapping voices .
《Erasing Dragon Breath with that kind of magic . . . . U-um . . . 》
《What》
《Do you maybe know someone called Gaias? Several thousands years ago he passed away while leaving words that he'd reincarnate . . . . 》
《'Course I am, I'm that Gaias reincarnated . 》
《Hiii!?》
Dark Dragon Iris took several steps back while shrinking its body when I said that .
《I'm sorry, I never thought that Gaias-sama would really reincarnate, it was a mistake, so . . . Please don't killmeeeeee》
It vigorously threw its head and wings onto the ground and rapidly asked for forgiveness in dragon language .
The force was enough to form a crater on the ground where it hit its head .
Just where did the dignified speech this dragon used in the beginning go .
《 . . . Don't worry . I'm not here to kill you . You'll keep your life if you can accept my term . 》
《Is that true?》
《Yeah . It is . I'd have killed you already if I wanted to anyway . 》
《Hii!?》
Dark Dragon Iris retreated several steps back while getting frightened .
Well, to tell you the truth, the me right now would have a hard time killing this dragon . . . . Being excessively feared is convenient in its own way .
For now, I'll just scare it a bit .
《And that term is . . . . 》
《A-are you going to . . . peel off my scales while I'm alive?》
《No . What do you think I am anyway?》
Even if I kill my enemy, I don't take a liking in uselessly torturing them .
《 . . . The strongest dragon slayer in history who single-handedly slew most of the dragons?》
《You're not wrong, but the dragons were the one who picked a fight with me first weren't they . 》
《That's true and all, but . . . 》
The reason was . . . What was it again .
I already forgot about it, but it was quite asinine .
A great number of dragons attacked my house, then I attacked them back in response, and ultimately, most of the dragons were slain except for ones that were absent and surrendered .
That said, Dark Dragon Iris was unlike other dragons as it wasn't really hostile to me .
It acted alone among the dragons to begin with, and it didn't look like it had a grudge against me even in my past life .
《I've come here not for such a boorish reason . I want to go kill some annoying demons, but my destination is far away you see . Just then, I found a mana reaction that seemed right for it . 》
I showed Iris the crest on my hand .
《Aa . Fourth Crest is it . It's Gaias-san's favorite crest, or rather I feel like it's exactly the crest that shouldn't be given to Gaias-san, but it's not suited for teleport magic huh . 》
《You got that right . By the way, my name is Mathias in this life, call me that . Keep the thing about my reincarnation a secret from other humans . 》
《I understand!》
I feel like it'll just bring trouble if the thing about reincarnation gets found out .
Particularly, one of the religious sects in my past life forbade magic that's related to souls .
I don't know the current situation of sects today, but hiding it should be the right thing to do here .
"Mathi-kun! What's with this situation!?"
Alma's voice forced its way through while I was conversing with Iris .
Well, after all, just when the dragon suddenly shot a great magic which then vanished, it proceeded to prostrate itself . Of course, you'd want to retort that .
"We're still negotiating, but it's going well!"
《Um . . . I haven't said that I could do it though . . . . 》
Dark Dragon Iris said that it wasn't going to accept the term when it heard me .
It's speaking in dragon language right now, but dragons that are higher than a certain rank can understand human language .
By the way, this dragon can also assume human form . I haven't seen it though .
《Hn?》
Maybe I should threaten it more .
I knead my mana a bit while thinking that .
《Hii!? Noo, it's not that I won't do it, I can't do it! Look at my wings!》
When it saw me kneading mana, Dark Dragon Iris stepped back while spreading its wings for me to see .
Those wings are tattered in a way that has never been seen before .
--Magically and physically speaking .
