“Ahahahahahaha! Ahh-HAHAHAAA!!!”

Eve’s laugh rang in my ears . But my eyes were locked on the dragon that had appeared from the magic circle .
The dragon was a green color . It was the color of wind affinity . Its two wings were much bigger than those of a wyvern, and its tail was like a long and thick whip . All four limbs were strong and had sword-like claws at the ends . And those fangs . The numerous teeth were sinking into Daniela’s arm . Her resistance was the only reason the jaw hadn’t closed completely…
“I’m coming…!”
The dragon’s eyes turned towards me as I ran, sword in hand . Its eyes were a green that was even darker than the scales . The moment they fixed on me, a blast of wind followed . It wasn’t an ordinary wind . It had the power of a dragon in it .
I was nearly blown away, but managed to thrust my sword into the ground and hold on . By sending currents of magic through my clothes, I was able to weaken the force of the wind a little . Eve must have been watching me, because she started to laugh once again .
“Ahahaha!! See this! My secret weapon . A magic passed on by the dark elves, summoning magic!!”
“Tsk . Summoning magic…!?”
It must have been some secret art . Even Master Daniela had never mentioned it during our lessons .
“Hehe . It is one of the ancient magic arts that has long been a secret . No, you would not have known about it! But here it is . An adult wind dragon! I very much doubt that you can beat it, not even if the world were to end! Ahahaha!!”
Oh dear . So it was much better than what my armor was made of . Well, I’m not exactly surprised…
“That won’t stop me from trying!”

I look towards Daniela, who continued to resist as she desperately tried to stab the dragon with her sword . Even from this distance, I could see the blood streaming down her arm and to the ground . I didn’t know how much longer she would last . But it would not be long now .
I enveloped my legs in green and silver wind and sent blue magic into the great sword in my hands . A sword with a water blade should be able to cut through the scales of a wind dragon .
Legs of the Forest Wolf activates with a violent burst of wind . I raise it to its limits, there would be no holding back now . I was against a dragon, and I had no choice but to go all out .
I didn’t care about what happened to me after this . I would save Daniela . I would protect her . Even if I lose all four limbs, I would kill that dragon!!
“AAAAAHHH!!!”
I hold my sword at my waist and fly out with a roar . The wind around my legs takes me forward towards the dragon at a speed I have never experienced before . The ground under me shatters as the dragon appears before my eyes . It all happened in a flash .
And with that momentum carrying me, I thrust the great sword upwards into the dragon’s lower jaw . It tore through the hard scales and tough flesh and came out the other side . The extended water blade even cut into the upper jaw . While it did not go through, it was still a serious wound .
“GGGGRRRAAAGHHH!!!”
The wind dragon screamed and went mad . And just like that, its mouth opened and Daniela’s arm slipped out into the open air .
“Daniela!”
“Ghh…”
She let out a moan before crumbling towards the ground . I pushed the sword all the way up until it reached the hilt before letting go . Then I caught Daniela before she hit the ground and then made a run for it . Eve and the dragon might attack us again, and so I ran until they could no longer see us .
I knelt on the roof of an abandoned house and let Daniela down while supporting her upper body .

Her left arm was damaged badly . It was terrible… I saw the bloody skin and the white of her bones and suddenly I felt very cold . It had gone through her arms and clothes . However, it had not been torn off . Daniela had avoided that fate by resisting . In that case, perhaps the potion I got from the old man would work .
I took out the green potion and removed the cork .
“Asa…gi…that…”
“This’ll probably sting . ”
“Ugh…”
I would pour the liquid on the open wounds . Of course, it would hurt . As Daniela bit hard on her lower lip, I tilted the bottle . The liquid flowed from the mouth and fell on her arm as white steam rose into the air .
“Ughhhhh…!!”
Daniela endured the pain . I had never seen steam rise from a wound like this before, and for a moment I panicked over the possibility of it being acid . However, I then noticed that there was no longer any bones visible . There was red flesh covering them . When I poured more of the potion over it, Daniela’s smooth arm returned to normal .
“It-it healed…!”
“Hah…hah…”
Sweat ran down her forehead as she became limp with exhaustion .
“Danila . You should drink the rest . ”
“Ah…mm…”
As I brought it to her lips, she raised the arm that had been wounded a moment ago and held the bottle herself . I was relieved . Even the smaller wounds she had received from Eve were now healing themselves .
“Hah… Thank you . ”
“Don’t mention it . Who would have thought she’d start summoning dragons like that? …What should we do?”
Daniela had been traumatized by dragons . She could not fight them…
“We will finish things here . Besides, we cannot ignore the fact that there is a dragon here . Can we?”
“But Daniela, don’t you…”
“…Yes . But I have no choice . ”
Yes, many people would suffer if we left the dragon as it was . Still, Daniela’s life was more important to me . If Daniela were to die in the fight with the dragon… No, I didn’t even want to think about it .
“I’ll lure the dragon towards me . You take care of Eve . ”
“You cannot face a dragon alone!”
“I’ll manage somehow . I’ll do anything to protect you . ”
Yes . I had decided it . I would take down anyone who got in my way and eliminate all obstacles . I was ready to kill for her .
“Asagi… Just as you wish to protect me, I also want to protect you . ”
“Daniela…”
“Please do not forget that . I do not want to see you die . ”
She felt the same way… Thinking about it brought an irrepressible smile to my face .
“Don’t worry . I won’t die . And neither will you . ”
“…Yes . We have always made it through hardships together . ”
Yes, no matter the enemy, we had always defeated them and moved forward . This time would be no different .
“We can do this . Right?”
“Aye, there is nothing that can stop us . ”
Just then, the dragon’s roar reverberated throughout the town .
It seemed like the wind dragon also had no intention of ignoring us .
“Alright, hold on Daniela . We’re going to go kill that thing!”
“Aye!”
Daniela jumped in the air and into my arms like a princess . Then she threw an arm around my neck and held on tight . I had told her to hold on, but I didn’t expect it to be like this… But I wasn’t complaining . It would be worse than embarrassing if I dropped her now!
“Hehe . I will protect you . So fight without worrying . ”
“Yes . I’ll protect you . So fight without worrying . ”
Our foreheads touched . I could feel determination welling up in me . Right now, a dragon didn’t seem like too bad of an enemy to beat .
