Chapter 164
Once the defense measures were set in place, life continued as I went back and forth from the water dragon settlement and the mansion every day .
We were also worried about the royal capital .
And so I stopped by the Adventurers Guild every morning .
Josh and Ario were almost always there .
“Mister Locke, why don’t you come rat hunting with us some time?”
“That sounds really fun, but I’m a little busy these days . ”
“Of course, you are . You’re so skilled . There must be all kinds of requests coming your way . ”
It looked like Ario and Josh were making steady progress .
And I was glad to see young people grow .
After leaving the guild, I returned to the mansion in order to go to the water dragon settlement .
Grulf would get his walk, and I would patrol the place .
In the afternoon, it was practice with Nia and Serulis . And then magic lessons with Milka and Luchila .
A week passed like this .
Then one night at the mansion, I was sleeping with Grulf when my bracelet started to vibrate .
‘Lord Ruck . We are under attack . ’
It was Grand Chamberlain Morris’s voice .
I jumped out of bed and answered .
“I’m on my way . ”
“Grrr?”
“Grulf . I’m going to the water dragon settlement . You can stay and sleep . ”
“Groof!”
I grabbed the Devil King Sword and ran to the magic circle room on the first floor .
I avoided wearing pajamas to bed because of situations like this .
Of course, I wasn’t wearing armor, but still slept in my normal clothes .
Serulis poked her head out from her room . Perhaps she had heard me running down the steps .
“What happened?”
“The water dragons have requested help!”
That’s all that needed to be said .
I went into the magic circle room and teleported to the water dragon settlement .
I felt a little dizzy, as was usual after teleporting .
“Groof . ”
“So you came too, Grulf?”
“Groof!”
“Don’t hurt yourself . ”
I then ran out of the magic circle building .
Leea was waiting outside .
Tonight, she was in the shape of a dragon .
She was smaller than Kathe and had a pretty, blue color .
“Ruck . There are invaders from the gate! Morris is holding them back now . ”

“Understood . There is a possibility that lesser or arch vampires will get in . You should stay with the other water dragons and keep watch . ”
“I understand . ”
And then Grulf and I ran towards the gate .
While we ran, a voice sounded from my bracelet .
‘Locke . How are things going?’
Unfortunately, Goran had been sleeping in his own mansion tonight .
Well, that was usual, so it could not be helped .
“I’m headed towards the scene right now . So I do not know . I’ll call you if it seems like we need help . ”
‘I see . ’
“So you stay and rest for now . ”
‘As if I could sleep . ’
Eric’s voice also sounded .
This was an advanced bracelet that allowed you to talk to multiple people at once .
‘I’m headed for your mansion right now . ’
‘I’m also going . I’m in the underground passage . ’
‘I am going too!’
‘I have just arrived at the settlement . ’
Kathe was in my mansion and Dorgo had been in the Wind Dragon Palace .
At least Dorgo would be able to come quickly . That made me feel better .
“I’ll try to finish things before Eric and Goran arrive . ”

‘Yes, I hope that we are just wasting our time . ’
‘That would be for the best . ’
Just then, a fireball flew passed me . It was huge .
Then I saw Morris fighting the evil dragons and vampires .
There were many enemies .
Morris and the water dragons seemed to be struggling greatly .
I had been wondering why I had not heard from him since the first call for help .
And I now saw that he was fighting too desperately to be able to talk .
“Actually, you two might want to hurry . ”
I said into the bracelet . Then I unleashed a magic bullet .
It slammed into an evil dragon that was about to bite a water dragon .
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
It wailed in pain . But it did not die .
And that had been a very powerful bullet . The average dragon would have fallen .
But not the evil dragon .
Not only did it not fall, but its attention was now on me .
I shouted at it .
“Fight me first!”
And then I shot out 30 magic bullets all at once .

There were two types of reactions from the vampire lords and evil dragons .
Some underestimated me, and accepted the blow .
Others sensed the danger and desperately dodged them .
“GYRAAAAAARGHH!!”
Two vampire lords and three evil dragons took lethal blows because they lacked caution .
The other water dragons quickly put an end to them .
The ones who had seen the danger and dodged the attack were the more dangerous .
And my attention moved towards those powerful enemies .
Without hesitation, I charged forward .
The breath of the evil dragons and the magic of the vampire lords shot out towards me .
I increased my speed .
Their magic and breath landed where I had been a moment ago .
—GGGGGGGG!
There was a loud grinding sound as dirth shot up into the air along with a storm of rocks .
The air became full of dust .
“Mister Ruck!”
Morris’s frantic scream echoed in my ears .
At the same time, I jumped out of the cloud of dust and cut off the first evil dragon’s head with the Devil King Sword .
