69 Fafnir
Seeing the sight in front of him, Klaus thought it was stupid.
Spatial transfer should not even be able to interfere once it begins without much leeway.
Failure, for example, is more than the same scale… No, if you don't use even enough space-based magic to go far beyond that, it's impossible -
"What's up? Speak up like that. I don't know... I thought it would be that easy to escape from this?
"- Nah!?
The moment he heard that voice, Klaus was so stunned and shouting that it was not the previous ratio.
I don't even have to think about what my voice sounded like.
It's a pitch-black dragon in front of me.
But that was impossible, as much as it didn't matter whether the spatial transfer failed or not.
I'm not surprised the dragon talked.
It is only natural that dragons speak and are highly intelligent.
But that's why...
"Lie...... you, are you going to die......!?
Sophia's words are never a big deal.
On the contrary, it is an indisputable fact.
A dragon talking is synonymous with going straight to death.
A dragon is a fantasy species.
In other words, it is an imaginary organism, something that should not exist in the world as such.
Such dragons recognize that fantasy species can still exist because humanity recognizes that they exist.
It is because we recognize that it exists that the world is creating it.
Which comes first is technically unknown.
Did the world create it because people recognized it, or did people begin to recognize it because the world created it for some reason?
What is certain, however, is that dragons are created by man's perception and must not exist.
Dragons created by man's thoughts disappear as they are if they do basically nothing.
Because only by the thought from a person can that body be maintained.
It is only logical that if there is no supply, it will run out and eventually disappear.
That's why dragons sometimes attack people, attack cities.
To keep our presence, to turn that thought to ourselves.
But at the same time, dragons are non-existent beings.
Therefore, it does not mean that it strikes too hard.
For if thoughts grow too high, and their own power increases and their existence becomes clear, they will still be erased from the world.
That is the resolution of contradictions.
It's strange that there are things that shouldn't exist, so let them disappear.
Nothing strange.
If there's a problem, it's also the world that created it... but that's why this world is turning, so I guess I can't help but say it.
And that's why dragons don't talk.
Just flying through the sky and burning the city would make its perception of existence stronger if it were to utter words, even though its beauty was too much.
That would boost your power, but it would end up nearing death.
If it is a normal dragon, it is undoubtedly something not to be done.
Especially on this occasion are the soldiers of the kingdom of Veritas.
If it's just the Klaus and the others, if they do that in this place...
'Well, it's a lot easier to worry about who you're trying to kill when you say you're going to get yourself killed. Or, I don't know, you don't think they're gonna kill you, do you? I didn't do anything to you because I was trying to do something interesting. Well, it was crap.'
"All right, you're finally done knocking me down... dammit, you Noroma! How much hassle do they have with them to this extent!? Well, but now they're the only ones left... Ah? A prisoner? Mm-hmm. Throw him around there! I'll kill you later anyway! Better than that...... hey there dragon!
And it was one of the soldiers of the enemy kingdom who cried out and spoke out to block the words of the dragon.
On that face, Klaus looks familiar.
Sure, he must have been one of the other troop leaders.
Because he was strangely hostile to this one, he remembered.
But when I was surprised at what I was going to do now in this situation, it went on to sound surprised.
"You know damn well you're not killing those two! Yeah, at least they're the only ones I've got to kill! Look, just keep it down there!? It would be a hassle if we got busted!
It was as if ordering a dragon to be anything less than himself, that was his subordinate, or even a slave, but when you think about it, there were many such things as nobility in that country.
Maybe I'm from the aristocracy or something.
Honestly, it wasn't believable, such as taking such an attitude towards a dragon opponent, but this is an opportunity in a way.
In the meantime, if there's anything I can do...
"To this self, your degree gives the order, so...? - Don't get on the diagram, human. '
Moment after moment, the auspicious wind stroked my skin.
Klaus was able to make an aggressive decision about what happened because it was something he remembered.
What followed was the roar and the sound of crushing something.
And it was groaning and screaming.
"Hey..................!?
'Hmm... remember. My name is Fafnir! Become an ancient dragon in the name of fear and despair......!
"Even up to a name...... by the way, weren't you on your side with the kingdom of Veritas?
'Well... I don't know how they recognise it, but as a thank you for unsealing me, I just made a promise not to touch them as much as possible. If you come to us yourself and insult us, that's not what you know.'
Hearing the words, it was a terrible sight to have spread there if Klaus had turned his gaze slightly to the rear.
Dead bodies.
That's exactly the right word.
What this dragon did now would be a tattoo away with his tail.
If you eat something like that, you will die instantly in the company of soldiers.
Moreover, because it is huge, its scope is also vast.
That blow alone created this sight.
But this was undoubtedly too much.
Indeed, earlier words are the same as insults.
It can be taken for granted to be angry... but perhaps not.
For that reason, this dragon didn't release its present blow.
Because the troop leader who made the statement in question is alive.
Tail passes on that frontal thread and seems to live at the critical... maybe it wasn't luck, it was what it was meant to be.
"... really, are you going to die?
Sophia asked again, probably because she thought the same thing as Klaus.
If the name ahead is true, the thoughts that underpinned this dragon are fear and despair.
In other words, the more people point that emotion at this dragon, the more powerful this dragon becomes.
Given that, maybe this way of doing things isn't wrong in a way either.
If we do all this, excessive fear and despair will be directed and it will be possible to gain considerable power.
But at the same time, it was obviously too much.
That is also true of earlier interference with spatial transfer.
Surely if it is a dragon, it is not surprising that it can do so.
But I still don't do it if I can.
Because if you do it, it's visible that this happens.
"HI, HI, HI......!?
"Damn, where's my side...!? Different story......!?
"Yes, it hurts, it hurts...! No, I don't want to die......!
Filled there are voices of resentment and despair.
Even anger, already far away.
Because everyone knew that such a thing was useless where they held it.
All the thoughts of those who are here turn to them, and become powerful… and only for that matter do they approach death.
Or even if it vanishes now, it's not so strange.
Klaus has not actually seen the scene.
But this is still a gift holder.
I understand with my senses the total amount of force that I deserve.
That in front of me was, like, over the limit.
"... why do you go so far? Though created in the world, it's more than created. One of life. I heard that death is something to be avoided..."
"Well, you don't know... it's a corner, so let me tell you. Because that is the wish of my Lord… of what was my Lord '
"Lord... evil god, you mean?
'... right. That's what you call it and what's broken...!
"... eh"
Was that a backward scale for the dragon, I felt a clear anger I had never felt before.
For the first time in its eyes, which was even somewhere inorganic, the intention to kill is lit.
"... sorry, I think I said something extra"
"... it doesn't matter. Anyway, the results are the same."
Whatever happens, it's impossible to escape.
That was the decision made by Klaus and the others.
Resistance is pointless from the beginning.
Only the two of us are on this scene, and the sword Klaus holds in his hand is so worn out that it's not strange whenever it crushes.
Of course it's the body too... well done, I can tell you I've been able to get this far.
And that's why I can't stand it anymore next time.
If he was angry and willing to kill, it would be even worse.
'And it is for this reason that if we are to perish, it is our hope...! It was death and destruction that dominated him. If we are going to perish after bringing it about, there must be some reason why we hate it if we want it...!
To the words, Klaus was convinced that was the case.
In short, this dragon just wants to destroy everything.
Including myself.
That's why I seek strength, so I have no hesitation whatsoever.
"... as if a child were crying out, would you be angry again? Well, in the first place, I may not be the stepdad I could have told you about for being a disqualified mother."
"I thought so too... well, I'm the one who disqualifies my parents"
He said things that bothered him a lot.
Cologne, seal, evil god.
But there's no way you can answer me from what I've heard, and from what I've thought, it's pointless for those who are dying now.
Still.
I knew it was all for nothing.
Klaus, still, wasn't going to give up until the end.
That's probably the same for Sofia.
It's not that I don't think I'm going to die.
Without a doubt, Klaus and the others will die after this.
Uncondescending, crippling, pointless.
But if the dragon in front of you only seeks destruction, then you don't hate death.
One minute, one second.
If you were able to buy time, it would always help someone for that matter.
It was a duty, a duty.
I carved myself into it when I fulfilled it until I died, and I came to cut everything else off, so there's no reason to give it up now, and I can't possibly be allowed to do that.
No matter who forgives them, Klaus and the others will never forgive them.
And then, and.
... I abandoned it, it wasn't about redemption though.
I thought that I could also help by doing this.
"... the truth is, there was a lot I wanted to tell you."
"Well... then let's just say I'm looking forward to it over there"
If I held Sophia's hand, she shook it back and smiled at me.
And Klaus nodded back... not that I could do anything, but still, I look forward to staring.
And.
'Come on, everything, doom away...! That's what I wanted, keep it up......!
"- Is that so? Well, first, before you do, you're doomed, you fucking reptile."
The next moment, the giant blew away.
