Chapter 44

Naofumi: "UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

I unleashed a roar which rivalled the dragon's and caught the arm of the shadow with the shield.

Ridiculous.

Naofumi: "DIE!"

I caught the black shadow and throw it.

…… Can this shield attack an enemy?

The black shadow attacks me with its tail and arms, knocking me to my knees.

Naofumi: "It's not working!"

The attack of the black shadow is not effective on me.

Naofumi: "Haha…… Are you stupid?"

Though, I don't have any means to defeat it.

Shield Prison -> Change Shield (Attack) -> Iron Maiden

That’s troublesome, I suppose to trigger the counter-attack, I have to trick the shadow into hitting me.

Naofumi: "Wait for me……I'll kill you by any means possible……"

The shadow swings its arm at me, frightened by my murderous intent and anger.

It roasted the meat and melted the bone.

Mein = Sofia…… Or was her name Malty?

Next is Trash king, Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki.

Hate…… I want to kill them……

The flame wrapped around the entire shadow and consumes it all.

Somebody touches my hand.

This is…… The same gentle feeling as that time?

Raphtalia: "I am different from the whole world which tortures and shuns Naofumi-sama…… I'll say it as many times as it takes, Naofumi-sama won't do something like that."

……Eh?

Somewhere inside of me, a voice is warning me that if I give in to the anger, I will lose what’s most precious to me.

Don't be consumed by the urge to kill.

I did not forget, but I want to repay the person who so sincerely believes in me.

Do you defy me?

There is no enemy here that can use fire.

Ah……

Raphtalia: "Coug-"

Raphtalia smiles and collapses.

Naofumi: "Fast Heal!"

Naofumi: "I am the Hero of the Shield who commands the origin of power. I have read and deciphered a law of nature. I call forth the power of nature to heal!"

Naofumi: "Fast Heal!"

Until my magic power run out, I did not stop healing.

There are severe burns. Using beginner class recovery magic is insufficient for treatment.

The shield shines with a black light and activates Self-Curse Burning.

Naofumi: "Stop it!"

The shield stopped as if responding to my voice.

I cannot do such a thing. However, the poison breath is very bad for Raphtalia's vitality.

As if in response to my intentions, the shield burns only the poison breath. But this output is not enough to earnestly slaughter the enemy.

The urge to kill and anger is always supplied to me from the shield, I try to hold it down somehow as to not be swallowed by rage again.

Protecting Raphtalia is all that's left of my reasoning.

Zombie Dragon: "GYA!?"

While in the midst of attacking and defending, the zombie dragon begins scratching at its chest painfully.

Naofumi: "Wh-what is going on……"

What on earth is happening? Is the Self-Curse Burning burning it from the inside?

Zombie Dragon: "GYAOOOOOOOO!!!"

Eventually, the dragon stops moving and returned to its original corpse form.

There seem to be no more poison flies buzzing around.

I returned to the wagon with Raphtalia and rub the burn cure made from healing ointments and medical herbs on Raphtalia's burns.

Raphtalia: "Yeah…… Thank you for the medicine Naofumi-sama……"

Still, her burns are quite severe. Though the simple burns were cured with the medicine…… Because the effect was from black magic, a black trace is left. Though it's a little better, a complete recovery seems unlikely.

Raphtalia: "I-I'm fine…Hurry…the dragon"

Raphtalia: "That's not it…… dispose of the corpse quickly."

Raphtalia:"If it gets up again, we have no way to fight it."

It is necessary to dismantle the dragon and then let my shield absorb it.

What on earth is going to happen?

Shield of fury……

I still haven't recovered from when I used it earlier, so I changed to the Chimeric Viper Shield.

And I approach the corpse.

Naofumi: "Firo? Are you safe? Are you not injured?"

Naofumi: "Then…… What about the blood that came out when you were eaten?

She certainly was eating before the battle.

Naofumi: "Don't scare me like that! I thought you died!"

No, it is in fact a demon.

Naofumi: "I don't know."

Naofumi: "Do I have to kill you myself this time?"

I'm angry at the smirking Firo though. I'll remember this.

Naofumi: "So what did you do?"

Naofumi: "Hmm......"

What does that mean?

The place where Firo came out……the heart?

Because it's a dragon…? Did the magic that stay in the body all gather in the heart and crystallize?

Firo: "Geffuuuuu!"

Yup. She ate it…… I want to smack this fellow……

Firo: "Firo left a little. A souvenir for Master"

After saying so, Firo passes me a small purple fragment.

First, I'll let the shield absorb half.

Firo: "Okay~!"

Honestly…… This bird really surprises me.

At that time, if I didn't give in to the anger.

If Raphtalia did not stop me, I might have even burned Firo.

Were you trying to take over the consciousness of the hero?

……At that time, that was all I could think about.

Firo: "Itadakimasu!"

Firo: "Meat that's about to go bad is the most delicious, Master~!"

Though, I couldn't level any skill trees with the bone and meat of the dragon.
Still, the dragon zombie's skin and dragon's bone seem to be useful so I'll put in the wagon.
