Blood spurted out of the neck of the evil dragon and covered me as I landed on the ground .
Then I looked at the water dragons with a smile .
“That’s not enough to kill me . ”
“Amazing!”
“Thank you!”
The water dragons said happily .
The enemy must have seen us talking and decided it was their chance .
A vampire lord jumped out to my side .
“Groof!”
Grulf’s fangs tore into the vampire lord’s neck .
“You-you filthy dog!”
The vampire lord panicked and tried to transform in order to escape .
However, it seemed like he couldn’t .
“Wh-why…why…”
And just like that, he turned into a pile of ashes .
“You did it, Grulf!”
“Groof!”
Perhaps vampires could not transform if Grulf bit into them .
“But the dragon breath is dangerous, so stay close to me . ”
“Groof-groof!”
But Grulf did not look scared .
Playing with the water dragons so much had probably made him braver .
Just then, a vampire from the far back began to shout .
“Why is there a human in a place like this!”
It was a lord, no, a high lord .
Since he was in the back, he was likely a commander .
“It’s more strange for your filthy kind to appear here . ”
“Silence! You inferior creature!”
“Are you the leader of these rats?”
“How dare you call us that! You shall regret this!”
And the fight continued .
The water dragons also used their water breath to retaliate . And as it was their best attack, it was quite powerful .
But the breath of the evil dragons was also strong .
You would take a great deal of damage if it hit you .
On the other hand, the vampire lords and high lords were not much to talk about .
But they could still be a threat .
As the evil dragons were so confident in their vitality, they tended to take every attack instead of dodging them .
However, compared to the evil dragons, it was harder to hit the vampires .
They were not only fast, but they could turn into mist or bats .
This meant that they would occasionally appear behind you or to your side .
And that was very dangerous when you were focused on avoiding the evil dragons’ attacks .
“All of you, don’t push yourselves too hard!”
“Understood!”
I called to the water dragons as I inspected the scene .
Morris was very strong . He could fight two evil dragons at once .
And I shot magic bullets whenever I had a chance .
Because of this, the battle was moving in our favor .
We could win if things continued like this .
It happened just as we were all starting to feel a sense of relief .
“GAAAAAALAAAA!!”
A massive evil dragon appeared . It was much bigger than even Grand Chamberlain Morris .
Not only that, but it was even bigger than Dorgo .
“What!”
“No…”
The water dragons started to make sounds that sounded a lot like screaming .
“Hahahaha! You fools! Regret your actions and die!”
The high lord shouted with glee .
“So that’s your trump card?”
“Hmph . Is that what you think?”
The high lord smiled suggestively .
It seemed like they had others as well .
That being said, there was nothing to do now but to defeat this giant dragon .
As it was bigger than Dorgo, I had to go all out .
I took one step forward and was just about to dash towards the giant evil dragon .
But just then, the giant evil dragon breathed .
It wasn’t fire . It wasn’t wind or water or ice .
The breath was like a dark-colored mud .
I didn’t know what it was . But I had a very bad feeling about it .
“Don’t let it touch you!”
I shouted as I created a magic barrier .
I also made barriers around the water dragons .
Any trees that the black mud touched became dried up in an instant .
“A poison breath!”
The magic barrier shook violently when the poison breath hit it .
—CREEEEAAAAKK
There was an unsettling sound .
It wasn’t just poison . There was strong magic in it .
–CRACK-CRACK
The barrier began to break . I frantically put up another barrier .
Just then, the first one shattered completely .
Only an incredibly powerful breath would have been able to destroy my barrier .
I could not even attack it . It took everything I had to maintain the barrier .
And the giant evil dragon’s breath was not over yet .
“You can sure breath for a long time!”
I could not allow the breath to get passed us .
It would do immense damage if it leaked into the settlement .
Just then, I felt a disturbing presence to my side .
“DIE!”
A vampire lord appeared right next to me as I focused on the barrier .
He swung his sword at me .
“Grrr!”
Grulf bit into the right hand that held the sword .
“Bastard!”
The vampire lord swung the short sword in his left hand .
I tried to protect Grulf from the short sword by making a barrier .
Just then, there was a loud sound and a scream .
“Gaaa…ggg…”
“Things seem to be quite dire over here . ”
Dorgo’s fist was protruding from the vampire lord’s stomach .
Dorgo was still in human form .
“Thank you . ”
“I am sure you would have managed just fine by yourself, Mister Ruck?”
“Well, thank you . Regardless . ”
“I am glad to hear it . ”
And then Dorgo looked up at the giant evil dragon .
“Hmm . I suppose it would be better to fight that thing in my dragon form . ”
Dorgo said . And with that, he transformed back into a dragon .
