Chapter 186
I saw the blood running from my stomach .
“Heh . ”
A vampire, likely a High Lord, chuckled .
His blade was covered in a black liquid . Probably poison .
I had no time . I had to kill the enemy before the poison made it impossible for me to move .
“The enemy is using poison! Be careful!”
I called out to the others .
“Understood!”
The water dragons replied .
The vampire saw this as his chance .
“Die!”
The High Lord shouted as he attacked .
At the same time, the large evil dragon attacked as well .
“A good combination . But it won’t work . ”
I said as I cast gravity magic on both of them .
“GAA!!”
“GYAAA!!…”
Their charge was interrupted as they tumbled to the ground .
They fell and were pressed into the dirt .
And then I sent ten magic spears into each of them . The evil dragon was hit by every single one .
But the High Lord jumped out of the way . He had dispelled my gravity magic .
He was clearly no ordinary High Lord .
I would bet he was the same rank as whatever it was that Eric and Goran were fighting .
The High Lord attacked me with his poison sword .
I kept my distance as much as possible .
“Grulf, the sword is poisoned . Be careful!”
“Grrr!!!”
Grulf seemed like he understood . He backed away and kept his posture low .
He darted quickly from left to right and searched for an opening .
“You are just humans! The inferior race!”
The High Lord screamed . Then he charged towards me at a speed that most people would not have been able to catch .
He was in front of me in a flash . And our swords clashed .
I only barely blocked the attack . But before he could follow up, I grabbed his neck with my left hand .

“Wh-why are you still moving? You should have been poisoned . ”
“Yes, my movements have slowed down a lot . As the inferior race, we lose energy when poisoned . So if you don’t mind, I’ll take some of yours . ”
And then I activated Drain Touch .
“GAAAAAHHHH!!”
The High Lord screamed . In a second, he turned into a shriveled old man .
Now he tried to escape . The sword dropped from his hand as he started to turn into mist .
That’s when Grulf jumped in . His fangs sunk into the High Lord’s ribs .
“HHHYAAAA!!!!”
He wailed as I had never heard anyone wail before . He could no longer transform .
The parts that had turned into mist were then absorbed by my Drain Touch .
And then I used the Devil King Sword to cut off his head .
Cutting with the sword also absorbed his lifeforce . It was very useful at such times .
Mister Ruck . Please don’t move . I must use healing magic…”
A water dragon rushed to me frantically .
“Thank you . But I am fine now . ”
“But your face says otherwise…”
“I’m used to it . ”
I said with a laugh .

I had been poisoned many times during my 10 years of battle against the Devils .
There were several ways to deal with it . Using healing magic would take too long .
I didn’t need healing magic when I had Drain Touch .
Apparently, the poison in my body was quite strong . Yes, my consciousness felt quite unstable .
However, there were still enemies to fight . I could not rest .
I set my sights on the next largest evil dragon .
I charged at the evil dragon while flinging thunder magic at the nearby machines .
“GYAAAA!!”
The evil dragon roared as it was hit . It thrashed at me with its claws .
I cut the evil dragon’s arms off with the Devil King Sword and touched its body while activating Drain Touch .
By doing this, my health healed a lot .
Thanks to Kathe and the other water dragons, it did not take much time after that to finish destroying the machines and evil dragons .
“Mister Ruck . Please stop now! We must use magic to get rid of the poison!”
“Thank you . ”
“Still, how were you able to fight like that… You have more strength than a dragon . ”
Some of the water dragons had been poisoned as well .

And they had not been able to move .
If it was not treated quickly, you could die . That’s how strong the poison was .
Leea rushed towards me .
“Ruck, are you alright? Were you poisoned?”
She was in her dragon form as she looked down on me with worry . Her gigantic snout pressed into my face .
“I’m fine . I just look a little pale, that’s all . ”
I patted her under her chin .
“Groof…”
Grulf looked worried as he sniffed me . I petted Grulf as well .
“You’re worried about me too? Thank you . ”
It didn’t take long before I felt much better .
“Thank you . I think I’m good now . ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes . Water dragon magic must be very powerful . ”
The water dragon looked happy .
Their healing magic really was powerful . It worked well against the poison .
Eric’s wife, Refi, was an expert with healing magic . She would probably be very happy if she could visit .
That’s what I thought .
