Volume 1 Chapter 45 The Hero's Invasion, the King's Arrival Too Late
It was while I was examining the Frost Dragon at the dragon stable.
Crack!
I felt a menacing presence on my skin.
"Watch out!"
'Eek!'
I pushed the Frost Dragon away!
With a bang!
A fierce sound filled the dragon stable as a torrent of light erupted.
It easily shattered walls and sliced through the ground... and completely gouged out the spot where the Frost Dragon was just moments ago.
"Are you okay!?"
'Y-yeah... I was saved thanks to Sir Zeke. But what on earth just happened?'
"Tch, you dodged it. You've got good instincts."
A young man with red hair approached the collapsed dragon stable.
"Hey! You're... Hero Makhen!"
I knew about him because it was rumored he became a hero at the youngest age in history.
'Ah... big bro...'
Makhen was dragging a bloodied wyvern by its tail.
In his other hand he holds a shining sword.
"Wyverns are weak. If I'm going to play it, I'll have to fight an ancient dragon."
"Let go! What the hell did you do?"
"Aren't wyverns magic beasts? What's wrong with a hero defeating them?"
With the sword of light in his hand, he tries to cut the wyvern's body.
I move at high speed, snatch the wyvern from the hero's hand, and leave.
I would like to heal immediately, but with Hand of God, healing magic becomes an attack.
So, I apply an ointment to stop bleeding quickly and administer first aid.
"I heard right. You help magic beasts too."
"I'm the doctor for all animals, after all."
"Oh. Then you're my enemy."
While I was treating the wyvern, I felt a presence behind me.
"[Paralyze]"
"Ggh...!"
Makhen falls to the ground due to the effect of the skill.
"What a fool! I completely hid my presence and got close!"
"Beast veterinarians have excellent senses. They can sense murderous or malicious intent with their skin."
'That's amazing, big bro... to evade attacks just by sensing them.'
The first aid is done while paralyzed.
'Big bro... I'm sorry... for not being able to tell you.'
"Don't worry about it. Just get some rest."
Now, I'm heading to the fallen hero.
"Damn it! What is this... powerful paralysis! I can't move at all!"
"...I have a question. What are you doing here?"
"I heard there's an injured Frost Dragon here! I need to see it!"
The hero wears a ferocious grin.
"...Who told you that?"
"Who else but the king!"
...I understood everything.
The hero was ordered by the king to kill the Frost Dragon.
"But then, my main target isn't the Frost Dragon, but its husband."
"Shut up."
I glared at the hero and said.
"Go home quietly."
"No! Don't, don't, give me orders!"
'Wow, the hero who has the power to defeat the Demon Lord is completely afraid of Sir Zeke'
Twitch!
The veins on Makhen's forehead begin to pop out.
"Who the hell am I scared?"
When the hero forcibly breaks Paralyze, he distances himself from me and readies his sword.
"I'll kill you! You and the dragon! I'll kill all the beasts in this country! With one blow of this holy sword that can absolutely cut through everything!"
Whiiing...!
The light converges on the holy sword, and the hero swings his sword.
A torrent of light is coming towards me.
Was that the blow just now?
'Doctor! It's dangerous!'
"Hahaha! It's a powerful slash that can crush even a high-ranking Demonkin in one hit! Don't think you'll get away with it! "
I clenched my fist and deflected the blow of his sword.
"What?! Impossible! You blocked the blow of the holy sword with your bare hands?!" he shouted, eyes wide with disbelief.
Closing the distance in a flash, I heard his desperate cry.
"Damn it! Die!"
Frost gathered in my palm as I conjured an ice sword with frost alchemy. The blade shimmered with icy brilliance as I slashed at the holy sword.
Clang!
With a bang, the holy sword broke into pieces.
"T-that can't be... The holy sword, the strongest sword given by God... shattered it into pieces...?"
The hero stammered, disbelief etched across his face. Meanwhile, I look down on the hero.
"I-I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"
He pleaded, trembling. But I made a fist and punched the hero in the cheek.
"Ughhhhh!"
The force sent him spinning like a top before he crashed to the ground, groaning in pain.
I spared his life — after all, he still had a job to defeat the Demon Lord. Killing him would only bring unnecessary complications.
"...But that King, what a terrible thing to do."
Not only did he injure a pregnant dragon, but he also sent the hero for revenge.
"I always thought he was the worst... but now I'm truly disappointed. I never want to see his face again."
And it was at that moment.
'Big bro!'
Another wyvern landed next to me.
'It's bad! That King is attacking the beastman country with a lot of knights!'
