The Searing Dragon Velgrendo is the only four "dragon species" left in the world. If it is hostile to humans, it is a terrifying monster that can cause natural disasters.

But at this time, she appeared as the patron saint of the empire. Following the emperor's instructions, she hunted down the "brave" Duen who was summoned but disobeyed his master and escaped.

Of course, Velgrendo will confirm with his own eyes whether he is a hero or not.

Being a brave man means that he will bear the fate of being entangled with the Demon King. Whether to kill him or to take him under his command depends on the value Du En has shown.

Flying through the sky at a speed comparable to the speed of sound is far from Velgrendo's limit, but it is enough to hunt down Dune.

On the plains hundreds of kilometers away from the capital, I thought that fighting here would minimize the losses. Velgryndo, who had been hanging behind Duen, suddenly accelerated and in an instant overtook Duen, who was running ahead.

The burning breath gathered in Velgrendo's mouth, and she did not try to convince Duen. Since it had caused such serious damage to the empire, she would not accept the approach of surrendering directly.

So, let's beat him to death first and then talk.

Violence is aesthetics, and this is undoubtedly a science in line with the hegemony of the empire.

In the eyes of the Imperial people, there is no such thing as an alliance when it comes to conquering and destroying enemies.

Even though Du En may have the identity of "brave", unless Du En shows his due strength and value, there is no way to be pardoned.

At least, you have to be able to survive her attack as a dragon, then you have the qualifications to surrender.

The scorching breath gathered in Velgrendo's mouth. The next moment, the scorching breath condensed into a ball spurted out from Velgrendo's mouth, turning into hundreds of thumb-sized beams of light and heading towards where Duan was.

Shoot across the plains.

The surrounding area of ​​dozens of kilometers was shrouded in scorching hot explosion rays. Each beam was no less than a legion-level magic. The tens of thousands of imperial soldiers who had previously stood in front of Du En would probably be killed or injured by this blow.

Almost exhausted.

That's why Velgrendo had to fight as far away from the empire's capital as possible, otherwise the entire kingdom might disappear from the map if he wasn't careful.

Existence is a natural disaster, with power that mortals can never reach. This is the existence that stands at the top of this world - the dragon species!

…

The East Plain is not only the granary that feeds the empire's 800 million citizens, but it is also the dividing line between the empire and the Great Forest of Jura, and the puppet country where the Demon Lord Clayman lives.

But today, this great plain that should have been peaceful and stable has been hit by a natural disaster.

Hundreds of powerful spells comparable to legions were bombarded on the plain near the coastline, and the target was just a human as small as an ant.

From the beginning, he didn't think he could escape so easily, so Du En ran away with all his strength, regardless of his injuries. In less than ten minutes, he ran hundreds of kilometers.

However, the pursuit came much faster than Du En expected, and it even made Du En feel that the other party had actually been following him, but he just didn't notice it.

Du En's guess was actually not wrong. He perfectly shielded his aura and flew arrogantly in the sky thousands of meters high, watching Du En. From the beginning, Du En never escaped Velugryand's sight.

.

It wasn't until the scorching rays erupted from Velgrendo's mouth that Duan noticed that thousands of meters in the sky, there was a crimson dragon with wings spread tens of meters and its body was like flames.

There is no doubt that there is zero information about this world. Du En does not know whether the crimson dragon in front of him can be considered a strong person in this world, but "it" is what Du En faces. Apart from Boros,

The strongest enemy.

The magic power leaked out in just the moment of bursting out his breath was more than ten times that of Duen. There is no doubt that this is A-level magic power.

Moreover, the dragon in the sky has mastered its power to the extreme. It condenses the scorching rays into light. Even if Du En's endurance attribute reaches A level, he does not dare to resist.

It does not mean that if the endurance attribute reaches A level, you can ignore attacks below A level, but it means that only A level attacks have the possibility of seriously injuring Dun in an instant, but B level attacks can still hurt Dun.

The endurance attribute is a combination of attack resistance, physical strength and recovery. To put it bluntly, it means resistance to beating. If Du En had a choice, then Du En would rather exchange his endurance attributes with his strength attributes.

If he could instantly kill the enemy, why should he stand and get beaten?

But now, Du En is grateful that he has such a high endurance attribute. Otherwise, facing the attack of the big lizard in the sky, Du En would probably be burned to ashes in one encounter.

Even so, just surviving Velgrendo's breath was already Duen's limit.

Not to mention that Duen is extremely tired now, even if Duen is still in his prime, he may not be able to resist Velugryndor's attacks several more times.

This is not a level of power at all. If Duen only reaches A level in the endurance attribute, then Velgrendo has four attributes of strength, agility, endurance, and magic power, all of which have reached A level.

And unlike Duen, whose endurance attribute barely reached A level, each of Velgrendo's four attributes is probably at least A, not A—.

"Is this the creature that exists in fantasy, the 'dragon species'?"

There was a trace of bitterness in his heart. In front of a creature of this level, he couldn't even escape.

In the sky, after spraying a breath, seeing that most of the rays had been avoided, Duane survived in the end, and seemed to have the strength to fight, Velgrendo finally put away his previous contempt.

Descending from the sky, he appeared in front of Du En. He looked at Du En with his golden vertical eyes, which contained the light of humanity.

"Hmm, I'll just admit it. You are indeed qualified to serve Rudra. Even if there are few strong men around him who can compete with you."

The crimson dragon spoke human words, but the facts he revealed made Du En understand that there was indeed a strong man on the emperor's side who was comparable to him. If this crimson dragon hadn't taken action, I'm afraid there would have been others.

The strong man stood up and fought with him.

No matter how hard he struggled, the outcome left to him seemed to remain unchanged.

However, he is unwilling to give in. There are obviously so many people waiting for him to go back, and there are obviously so many people looking forward to his return.

"Then, leave it to me for now!"

A voice suddenly sounded in Du En's heart.

"I saw Du En in such a miserable state when I woke up. It's really hopeless."

"The opponent is a creature that stands at the pinnacle of many fantasies. Without the kind of treasure that can cause damage to dragons, I may not be able to hold on for long."

"But, Master, don't you have to rely on me at this time?"

The voice that had been absent for several years sounded in Du En's mind. Musashi, who originally thought he would be asleep for who knows how long, woke up at this moment.

"So, summon me, Master. Now in Chaldea, only my spiritual base is in a state of recovery. Even if it is not connected to the earth veins, with your current magic power, Master, and the support of twenty magic rhombus crystals,

It should be possible for me to appear in this world."

"Although the enemy is not a famous swordsman and swordsman, he can fight the legendary dragon. Maybe this is the Lord Buddha's instruction."

"Let me wake up at this moment, at this moment when you need help."

Opposite Du En, the crimson dragon stared at Du En with golden vertical eyes and asked: "So, what is your decision? Become a knight serving the emperor, or become my enemy and be killed by me."

Choose one of the two, as long as Du En still wants to live, there is no other choice.

However, because of Musashi's awakening, Du En had a third choice.

"Declare!"

Duen looked up at Velgrendo, without any fear in his eyes.

"Your body is entrusted to my command, and my destiny is attached to your sword."

At first, he thought that Duen was talking to him, but soon Velugrendo discovered that what Duen was performing was some kind of magic spell similar to the summoning of the brave.

"Is this your trump card?"

There was a hint of disappointment in Velgrendo's eyes, and she still hadn't seen clearly the strength gap between them, which meant that Duen was nothing more than that.

"Since this is your choice."

In Velgrendo's eyes, the golden vertical pupils shone brightly.

"Then, I have no choice but to kill you!"

At this moment, the scorching breath sprayed towards Duen, who was standing not far in front of her and was performing summoning magic. She was too lazy to wait for Duen's summoning magic to be fully activated.

Even if she summons high-level elves and high-level demon generals, in her eyes, they are just slightly larger ants.

However, even though he resisted Velgrendo's attack, Dune did not take a step back.

His whole body was filled with traces of being burned by the flames, but the look in Du En's eyes remained firm.

"If you are willing to follow the trust of the Holy Grail, obey this principle, and this intention, please respond."

On Du En's body, twenty magic rhombus crystals were suspended. In Velgrendo's eyes, these were magic stones that could only be dropped by A+ level monsters.

And once Du En takes action, it will be twenty.

This is only the magic power used for summoning. In order to maintain the appearance of the summoned person, Dune must provide more magic power.

"interesting."

Velgrendo's eyes showed interest, but she would not let changes occur.

Her ultimate ability, the King of Rescue, can burn the energy in the target's body and convert it into explosive power. However, on the other hand, the target will spontaneously combust because it cannot withstand the sudden surge in power.

As Velugelendor's ability acted on Duen, Duen's already broken body turned red like a cooked lobster, and was crumbling like catkins in the strong wind.

However, the magic circle has been formed, consuming twenty of Du En's magic crystals and using up the last trace of magic power in Du En's body.

A familiar voice sounded in Du En's ears.

"Shinbun Musashi guarding Fujiwara Genshin...!? Sorry, once again! Servant? Saber, Shinbun Musashi is here to join! Sorry to make you laugh, Master!"

The swordsmanship that can cut off even cause and effect cut off the power that Velgrendo exerted on Dun.

Seeing Dun's injuries, the smile on Musashi's face gradually faded, and the long sword in his hand pointed at Velgrendo.

"Since Du En was injured like this, I won't settle this debt easily."
