Whoa."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein jumped backwards to escape the collapsing body of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the nick of time, he escaped the collapse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（It was close. It was close. But the attack was very responsive.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a murmur among the adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The body of the Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir) is collapsing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did you do it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The place where the "Grand Fafnir" was standing was covered with dust, and it was difficult to see clearly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The adventurers watched with bated breath as their vision cleared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wind eventually carried away the dust, and the rock armor peeled away to reveal a "Grand Fafnir" with scales and flesh, in short, looking like a normal dragon (though still incomparably larger than a normal Fafnir).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" shook itself like a dog, shook off the dust and stones that clung to its body, and revealed beautiful scales that glittered like a freshly molted snake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He shakes his head and scurries around, gawking with a unique eye movement reminiscent of a reptile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The stupidity he had shown earlier seemed to be a lie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Firing squad, get back!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Arul hurriedly made those who were shooting move back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（The "Grand Fafnir" came back to life. After all, it had been fighting in a half-asleep state until now.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "Huh. So you're finally showing your true colors. My blood is pumping ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" looked at Sein and suddenly began to scream.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（It was a huge fire dragon. What?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thane covered his ears at the deafening cry of the dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" ceased its roar, something crawled out of the crater of the volcano.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was "Fafnir" that appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soon after, "Fafnir" came out of the wide-open crater, folding over like bats in a cave, creating an eerie black shadow around the crater.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The members of the Grand Alliance were in awe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（How many are there? If all those things came at once, they'd be ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Calm down. I don't think that even a 'fire dragon (Fafnir)' could attack a horde of them all at once with such a huge body. We can finish them off one by one with our javelins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Arul said so, calming down the unrest in the troop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(It doesn't matter how many fire dragons (Fafnir) appear, it doesn't matter much. The more important problem is ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Arul turned his attention to Sein and the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)," who were still facing each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(The problem is the "Grand Fafnir. If both "Fafnir" and "Grand Fafnir" attacked them, there would be no way to stop them. If we made a mistake in timing our retreat, it would be irreversible. Take it easy, Sei-chan.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry," he said. What are you doing, calling your friends because you don't think you can win on your own?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein jiggles to keep up with the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But a mere 'fire dragon (Fafnir)' is no match for me. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Suddenly, the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" turned its head and began to run toward the rear of the troop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The adventurers were taken aback by its agility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tsk!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein readied his "Dragoon" but it was already too late.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" breathed fire breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Open all defenses and recover! Hurry!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Arul shouted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Shield of Fireballs" absorbed the fire breath of the "Grand Fafnir," but even so, the pressure of the breath was irresistible, and it struck the adventurers who had frozen their shields, inflicting massive damage and blowing away the formation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uhh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Aghhhh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, as the troop collapsed, a swarm of "fire dragons (Fafnir)" near the crater took off at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Black shadows covered the sky as they swooped down toward the scattered adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Grand Fafnir" breathed in heavily again and attempted to shower the grand alliance with its breath of fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" takes another big breath in and tries to shower the Grand Alliance with fire breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein unleashes the "Dragoon", but the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" dodges, its head down and its body curved into a bow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(d*mn, what a soft body for such a big thing!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then you can go into the pocket ...... like you did earlier."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein goes around to the side of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" while drawing a circle as he did before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Grand Fafnir" is unable to respond to Sein's agility and loses sight of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good. We're still better than you in terms of agility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein dived into the bosom of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Take it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just as it looked as if it was about to strike from a perfect blind spot, the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" bent to its knees and leapt into the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Dragoon" was deflected from the body of the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)", ripped through the sky, and flew in a misguided direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, without leaving Sein stunned, it swooped down and landed with its momentum intact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ground shook.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Nope, the ground shook ...... and I couldn't move my legs)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" circled its long neck and showered Thane with a "Tsunami of Fire Breath (Gran Breath)".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Grand Breath" was a "tsunami of fire." ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thane tried to counteract the dragon-headed cage, but found that his arm was not raised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（It's malfunctioning!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No way, dude."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hellfire consumes the entire area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sein is down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Wow. I'm screwed!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Run for it. You'll be eaten by the Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The members of the Alliance Guild are panicking and running for their lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Calm down! The battle is not over yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" were struggling to control the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Several adventurers were in a state of delirium, and it took several people to hold them down and calm them down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were desperately trying to regain control of their crumbling unit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lower the line of defense. Calm down anyway. "Retreat to a place where the flames of the 'Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)' cannot reach you. Those with javelins, intercept the 'Grand Fafnir'!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(After all, we are a poorly coordinated group, aren't we? Up to now, the captain's fighting power has somehow managed to hold them off, but the battle with the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" has finally exposed them for the mere crows that they are. We can no longer use these guys. (What about the captain and the vice-captain?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The members of the "Guardians of the Academy of Magic" shifted their gaze toward the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The place where Sein was is still engulfed in a sea of fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Arul saw Thane being swallowed by the flames and ran off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, he is now in a situation where he is taking over the command.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(If the captain is killed, not only the Alliance Guild but also the "Guardians of the Magic Academy" (our guild) could collapse. Please stay safe somehow, captain!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the fire breath subsides and the flames begin to die down, the location where Thane was can be seen from the outside world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The adventurers strained their eyes to see if Sein was safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There, in burnt armor, stood a figure that appeared to be Sein.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Is he alive?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone present thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, a human figure in armor moved with a jerk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Captain!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Safe travels, ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Ugh, am I alive?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein looked around in a "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" daze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, a magic circle was floating at his feet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(This is ...... "defense grant" and "recovery magic". A double magic of support and recovery? He has the hit rate to accurately launch magic at the target from outside the sea of fire. (This is the kind of art that can do such a trick ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Thane turned around, he saw Arul, who was still holding his staff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn, this recovery magic. I knew it was you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seyi. This is it. I'm retreating. This is no time to be obsessed with the S-class title any longer. If Sei-chan is going to fight any longer, we have no choice but to leave without her. With the Dragoon's hand malfunctioning, can you stand alone against a pack of Giant Fire Dragons and Fafnirs?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"d*mn."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" was already attacking the Grand Alliance intermittently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle shouts and screams can be heard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We would not be able to stay in this place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein suddenly felt wind pressure from above.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as he left the spot, the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" landed boldly to crush Sein.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein dodged in the nick of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sei-chan!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know!　Retreat. Let's get the hell out of here as fast as we can."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as Thane turned his back on the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" and ran away, the adventurers belonging to the Grand Alliance froze and began to run down the mountain in unison.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From behind them, they could hear the "Grand Fafnir" letting out a cry of triumph, and they could also see it shooting its breath of fire into the sky like a celebratory cannonball.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein had no choice but to retreat the way he came, looking up in frustration.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Sein, what's the status of your equipment?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... no good. The "Dragoon's Baskets" are useless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sein said, bending and stretching his gauntlets to check the range of motion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His gauntlets could no longer bend at the joints of his fingers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry, but I'll leave the fighting with the monsters on the way back to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hope it's just monsters."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Look. The "Guardians of the Academy" are coming back with their tails between their legs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil looked through the telescope with amusement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Through the telescope, he could see the members of the Grand Alliance coming down the mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I still couldn't defeat the Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir), huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They all look like they're wearing rags and tattered equipment. "All of them look heavy, even though their equipment is in shambles. They must be carrying a lot of rare metals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sucker comes to us with the gems in his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go. It's time to hunt. I'm going to make you regret all the times you've done things you didn't want to do in other people's backyards.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The members of the thieves' guild "White Wolf" picked up their weapons and began to move secretly through the forest.
