Chapter 134
I quickly raised a magic barrier in order to protect Eric and Goran .
—CRRRRAAA—
The magic barrier seemed to scream hideously under the pressure .
That’s how strong the breath was .
Even the vampires were being blown away .
It was rather ridiculous that they had cast Charm on Kathe, only to be killed right away .
It was just as I was thinking this .
“GAAAHHHH!”
Kathe’s giant body flew from behind us and crashed heavily into the wall .
Even someone as big as Kathe was still affected by the breath .
Wait a minute . If Kathe was blown away too, that means someone else must have unleashed it .
“You two continue to watch for the vampires!”
“You don’t have to tell me twice!”
“Leave it to us!”
I called to Eric and Goran before spinning around .
There was a dragon there that was even bigger than Kathe . An Evil Dragon .
Its color was gray and it had three wings and three eyes .
Its violent breath was still continuing .
Maybe it had no intention of stopping until we were all dead .
So it was a matter of what would last longer, my magic barrier or its breath .
I didn’t think that I would lose .
“GAAAHHH!!”
But Kathe was screaming near the wall .
She looked completely fine, but I guess pain was still pain .
I felt a little sorry for her .
I left Eric and Goran by the magic barrier and got closer to the Evil Dragon .
It was rather difficult, as I had to go against the blast of wind .
It required that I create a magic barrier in front of me that moved forward as I ran behind it .
When I was close enough to the dragon, I jumped into the air so that our eyes met .
Being closer to the face meant taking the worst of the blast .
–CRRRRRR .
The barrier creaked . I had never heard it make such a noise before .
–RRRRKK
A piece of the barrier shattered . I panicked a little .
Was the barrier protecting Eric and Goran still alright?
I swung the Devil King Sword down towards the Evil Dragon’s neck .
But the dragon twisted its head out of the way . My blade chased after it .
“GYAAA!!”
“Tsk . Not deep enough . ”
I only cut through a little skin and flesh on the neck, without reaching the bones .
However, this stopped the wind breath .

Just then .
“Hah!”
“GYAAA…”
Goran’s sword slashed into the Evil Dragon’s left leg, severing it at the thigh .
The dragon immediately lost its balance .
“HAAAA!!”
In the same instant, Eric’s sword took off the dragon’s right arm .
Then he swung his sword a second time, finally taking off its head .
There was a loud crash as the body collapsed on the ground .
“What about the vampires?”
“They were killed in the wind breath . ”
It had been incredibly powerful .
Even a Vampire High Lord would have died .
“I see . So that means the Vampire High Lords here were not exactly controlling the Evil Dragon . ”
“We’ll have to find out more about their relationship!”
Goran said as he swung his sword around .
The dragon’s blood flew from the blade and splattered on the ground .
On the other hand, Eric pulled out some paper and carefully wiped his sword clean .
Then he threw it on the ground .
“You two are as skilled with the sword as ever . ”
I hadn’t been able to behead the dragon .

But Eric and Goran had cut through it with precision .
Eric smiled a little sheepishly .
“It was hardly a threat outside of that breath . It’s more impressive to me that you charged straight into it . ”
Goran laughed .
“I was able to cut it because you stopped the wind breath for us . ”
“The dragon would have regained its posture if I was alone . You two really helped me . ”
As the three of us talked like this, Kathe wobbled up towards us .
“Locke! How horrible of you!”
“What?”
“You protected Eric and Goran with a magic barrier . But not me!”
“Ah…”
I had thought that it was Kathe who had unleashed the wind breath .
Besides, she was very big .
It wasn’t impossible, but it would have been quite difficult to make a barrier of that size .
“Don’t you think this is favoritism?”
“That’s not what it is . ”
“It really hurt! It is so not fair!”
“…Sorry . ”
“You must be more careful from now on!”
Kathe was fuming .
Then she looked down at the scraps of paper at Eric’s feet .
“Hey, Eric!”

“Wh-what is it?”
“My house is not a trash can!”
“S-sorry . ”
Eric quickly picked up the pieces of paper .
“And you too, Goran!”
“Uh, alright, I see how swinging my sword made a blood splatter . But look over there . ”
A fountain of blood was spraying out of the Evil Dragon’s wounds .
“…It’s going to be hard to clean this up . ”
Kathe looked very annoyed .
“In any case, how come you didn’t notice it, Kathe?”
“Notice what?”
“The Evil Dragon’s attack . ”
Had Kathe noticed it, we wouldn’t have been attacked by the wind breath from the back .
Goran nodded .
“Exactly . Weren’t you supposed to be watching our backs?”
“Well, wait one second, Goran . I’m sure Kathe has a good reason . Don’t you?”
Eric said gently to Kathe .
“…I’m sorry . I was watching you all fight the vampires and…”
“Oh, you were transfixed . ”
“I’m very sorry . ”
Kathe really wasn’t used to fighting .
