Chapter 56.2
“Nymia, place a wind barrier around that boy . ”
“Nyaa . ”
Nymia, with a lovely meow, coils an airy presence around me .
“A wind barrier?”
“The sky is cold, nyan . When mother flies, the wind gets really strong . Without the barrier, you’d be blown away, nyan . ”
“Heee, for real?”
I wonder if the flying dragon knights of the Jortenitos Kingdom also have their dragons create barriers for them when they fly across the skies? I mean, I’m riding on the back of a dragon right now . Isn’t this the scenery specially reserved for flying dragon knights?
This is so incredible, my chest is brimming .
“Do flying dragons do things like place barriers around humans? That they can see the same scenery as this with their flying dragons in surprising . ”[1]
“Mother can fly higher than flying dragons, nyan . ”
Asher-san, at those words, ascends even high in one go .
“Uwaaaaaaah . ”
Asher-san ascends at a sharp angle . A franticly grab her fur to keep from falling off .
We break through a cold white haze in an instant . Only then does she stop climbing higher .
Cautiously, I look down .
“What the…?”
The forest spreads out on the ground far below . That white haze just now, could that have been a cloud?
I forget my fear and gaze at the sight below . It’s incredible . I absolutely want to show it to Ruiseine, Priscillchan, and Mistral .
“Next time, nyan will show them, nyan . ”
“Ohh, so Nymia can fly up this high too . ”
“Nyaa . ”
Since I’ve never seen a flying dragon soaring above the clouds, this must be a sight not even the flying dragon knight-sama have seen .
It’s absolutely incredible .
“Sightseeing is over . I am going to search for the decaying dragon . ”
With those words, Asher-san advances through the sky almost like she’s swimming .
“Uwaa . ”
Again, I’m astonished .
As we advance, we come across mountains that reach up even higher than the clouds .
Asher-san flies with a terrifyingly fast speed . Mountains far off in the distance are before my eyes in an instant . She enters mountainous areas without changing her pace, weaving about the peaks and valleys with her wings .
Everything moves so fast, my eyes can only make out a flowing blur of lines . Yep, my eyes aren’t going to be any use in searching for the decaying dragon .
“Can Nymia properly see the everything?”
“I can see, nyan . ”

“Ohh, incredible . ”
Since I can’t find anything with my eyes, I’ll try searching with the dragon vein . Or so I think as I immediately give up . I entered a deep meditation, but I can’t feel anything .
“The dragon’s vein is the life stream of the ground . It can’t be felt away from the ground . ”
Hohou, so it’s like that . I had no idea . But now, when we need more eyes to look with, I’m powerless to do anything .
“Channel dragon ki into your eyes . ”
“Like with my hands?”
I kneed dragon ki and pour it into my eyes . At the same time, energy from the dragon vein flows into me . I messed up . I unconsciously absorbed dragon ki from Asher-san .
“I didn’t feel a thing . The dragon power of humans and dragon tribesmen are nothing compared to me . Help yourself to as much as you like . ”
Uwaa, saying that so smoothly, I’m once again made to realize how incredible Asher-san is .
I strain my face and look around with my dragon imbued eyes . Now, I can properly make out the scenery . I grasp the fast flowing scenery without any trouble . By concentrating even harder, I can make out animals like the goats on the mountains and the bears by the river .
“Nymia, can you watch the left? I search the right .
“Nyan . ”
And Asher-san will cover the front . Her crashing into the mountain due to looking around would be a huge disaster after all .
“I’d do such a foolish thing?”
Guwann, Asher-san gives a large jolt . As I’m about to be shaken off, I cling to her in a hurry .

“Isn’t that dangerous?”
“Funn . ”
Asher-san snorts through her nose .
Guugh, upsetting Asher-san’s mood while she’s soaring through the sky is a life endangering deed .
Sc- Scary .
It’s in my best interest to diligently preforming my duty . I devote my undivided attention to finding the decaying dragon . Nymia and Asher-san also earnestly search .
“Hahaan, there?”
Asher-san groans . Just how many valleys did we cross, rivers did we follow, and mountain peaks did we go over?
All of sudden, a fireball gets launched at us .
“Hann, like such a dull attack would hit me . ”
Asher-san makes a steep climb, letting the fireball pass her by .
Looking in the direction of the fireball came from reveals the eerie appearance of a monster . I can see quite far now thanks to the dragon ki currently within my eyes .
Its scales and skin are a dark violet color . One section has melted off to reveal flesh foaming and dripping with grey blood .
Half its face has been split off, allowing bone to be seen . Also, even though its eyes are missing, the hollowed gaps stare at us with an eerie red light .
Its tongue hangs from its mouth .

The remaining wing on its back has melted down to its bones .
The dark liquid that leaks from its wounds, whenever it touches the ground, decays the soil and grass with a plume of putrid smoke . The path walked by the decaying dragon has been corroded, almost as if a slug had creeped through .
“Uwaa . ”
The nauseating sight makes me turn away .
That’s a decaying dragon? Its ghastly appearance is making me faint .
“Those with weak souls will die just by looking at them . Hold on to your resolve . ”
“Uwaa, I wish you had said that sooner!”
What would have happened if I were a timid boy?
“Hann, am I to entrust Nymia to a weak male?”
“Onii-chan is strong, nyan . ”
“Thanks . ”
I smile at Nymia .
While Nymia and I are having a warm moment, Asher-san and the decaying dragon are having a tense standoff .
