Volume 1 Chapter 23 VS Dragon Slayer Hero
One day, I received this request from the wyverns.
'There's a wounded dragon! It's hurt badly and about to die. Please help me, big bro!'
With their wyvern friends, I went to a forest on the edge of the beastman country.
I got off the earth dragon Chippy and walked closer to the dying dragon.
"Wow... it really took a beating."
In a clear part of the forest, a huge dragon lay bleeding on the ground.
Even though it was dirty with blood, its scales were as beautiful as diamonds.
'...Who are you? Are you a friend of that elf?'
I heard the dragon's voice in my head.
It was actually growling to warn me.
"Who am I? I am Zeke. I am a beast veterinarian."
'What?! This is the first time I have seen a human who can talk to me!'
"It's a little bit of my skill. But more importantly, isn't this bad? Can I treat you right away?"
The dragon looked at me carefully.
It's natural to be cautious.
'I'm sorry, but please help me.'
"Okay, just wait a moment, I will start the treatment soon..."
And then, at that moment.
"Hey you! Don't take my prey without permission!"
A young man's voice rang out from somewhere.
Crossing through the trees was a blond archer with pointy ears.
"Elf?"
A man approaches me with a displeased look on his face.
He holds the bow in his hand, and aims it at the wounded dragon.
"Get out of the way, fool. That Diamond Dragon is my prey."
"Oh, I see. Sorry, but can you please go away? I want to heal this guy."
Twitch!
The veins on the elf's forehead begin to pop out.
"...You, a foolish commoner, are you ordering this dragon slayer [Elquas] around?"
"It's not an order. I told you to go away because you're in the way."
I stand in front of the Diamond Dragon and say.
"This dragon is my patient"
"A patient? Are you a doctor?"
"Yeah. I'm a beast doctor. If I don't heal it now, it will be too late. Please go away quickly."
The archer Elquas's face was red with rage, and his shoulders were shaking.
"...You beast doctor, how dare you act like that toward this dragon-slayer hero! You deserve to die a thousand times!"
Elquas pulled back the bow in his hands.
Crack!
With a loud noise, a lightning magic arrow appeared.
'Run, Zeke! That arrow can pierce my scales like paper!'"It's too late! Chaaaaarge!"
The lightning arrow flew straight at me.
"Oops!"
I caught the arrow with my bare hands.
With all my strength, the arrow shattered.
"What!? No wayyyy!"
Elquas looked shocked.
'What the hell? To take a dragon-slayer arrow with bare hands... I can't believe it...'
"W-What are you...!? No, who are you!?"
"I told you, I'm a beast veterinarian!"
"No, you're lying! There's no way someone like you can catch my arrowsss!"
Elquas let another arrow fly.
This time, it turned into countless fire arrows in midair, raining down like a storm.
"Here I go!"
I swung my fist with all my power.
The wind blew away all the fire arrows.
"It's a lie, a lie, a lie! I won't accept this!"
Before he fires another arrow, I close the distance in an instant.
"[Paralyze]"
The skill is activated, and Elquas slams down!
and fall down.
"Oh no... I had multiple magic barriers up. Why... can't I move..."
"Sorry, but please keep doing that until the treatment is over"
"Damn it!"
Elquas takes out the crystal from his pocket and smashes it with his bare hands.
"Teleportation crystal?"
"Remember, humans! You have made the dragon-slayer hero and the elf village your enemy! You will not get away with this!"
And with that, Elquas teleports away.
'You overpowered a dragon slayer. Well done, Zeke.'
The diamond dragon says apologetically.
'I'm sorry I caused you trouble'
"Don't worry about it. The injured one should stay quiet."
I called for my sister to help me telepathically and asked her to bring me the surgical tools.
"I'll heal you right away. Get some good sleep."
The dragon looks at me and murmurs with admiration.
'I have seen many dragon slayers, but you are the first man to try to heal a dragon. Thank you, [Dragon Healer].'
