159-159 ・ The guy who was stronger than me was here




 Thanks to the consciousness-sharing magic, I can vaguely picture Lara and Marise's situation in my mind.

''Fighting together alone with Marise... maybe it's been a while.

 Lara looks at the dragon gliding through the sky and speaks up.

'Yes, I suppose so.'

 There is a hint of a smile on Marise's mouth.
 The anxious expression on their faces when they first saw the dragon is gone.

''Hey, Marise. Do you think we can't beat the dragon?
Huh, I don't think so.
Yeah. Because Kurt believes in you--I'm here!

 The dragon's eyes glazed over and looked at Lara.
 This sent the people around them into a state of panic.


''Whoa, he's looking at us!
Run, run!
Where are you running to?


 The dragon's large mouth is slowly opened.
 Magic power rushes inside his mouth.

 This is.........

''Maryse-chan!
Yes!

 Lara and Marise held hands.
 Then they deployed a huge warding magic that could completely contain the whole of their surroundings........no, the entire royal capital.

 Fast!
 And it's accurate.

 As it was, a breath was released from the dragon and fell towards the royal capital.
 However, just before a direct hit, the breath was bounced off by the wards and disappeared.

''Yes!''
I'm so glad you could make it.

 Lara and Marise are delighted.

'But we mustn't let our guard down,'
Yes. It's a work in progress.

 Hmmm, the two of them are still tightening up.
 Did the earlier attack be blocked, and did something displease the dragon? Their anger is rising.
 

''Nnnn!

 Lara frantically poured in her magic power and continued to deploy her warding magic.

''Leave the magic formula to me!

 Marise corrected the magic formula that was broken by the impact of the breaths each time.
 The two of them combined their strength and succeeded in preventing the dragon from exchanging breaths.
 Was the dragon not expecting this?

''Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 It let out a loud yell and was about to descend directly towards Lara and the others.
 The dragon sliced through the wind and had a rapid effect on the royal capital.

''Whoa! It's coming!
We're not going anywhere!
"No more King's Landing!

 People are screaming and trying to get away.
 The dragon's descent into the world is divine, as if God were descending into this world.
 Some people are frightened by it, or have been unable to move their bodies.

 However.

''Maries-chan........''
Yes, sir.

 Lara and Marise hold hands.

 They gently meditate.
 The folly of meditating with a dragon coming towards them and even holding their hands. Normally, it would be suicide.
 But for the two of them, it has great significance.

''Marise, can you hear me?''

 Lara's strong will flowed backwards.

''Yes. It's kind of a strange feeling.''

 And Marise's will.
 Even as we do this, the dragon is about to descend to earth.

"I may not be able to defeat the dragon on my own.
But the two of us together with Lara can defeat the dragons.
"More than that.
"'I'm with her, I'm with her!

 

 Is this........?

 Ho, it's a magic formula I've never seen before.
 So the two of you are trying to create original magic here!

"Kurt.

 My name will be called.
 Even if you just descend to the ground of a dragon, the shockwave will inevitably cause damage to the surroundings.
 More than a hundred people will die from that alone. That's what a dragon is.
 At the moment when such a deadly star, a dragon, was about to crash into the ground--


"The holy savior's sword, the holy saber sword


 As if to intercept the dragon, a single glowing sword appeared.
 Did he say the Holy Savior's Sword, Holy Saber Sword?

 Lara grasped the sword with her right hand and Marise grasped one with her left.
 The dragon noticed the strange sword and tried to still it.
 However, perhaps because it has gained momentum, it can't stop abruptly.
 That slight gap was enough.


''This is the end!''


 Lara and Marise floated fluffily in the air, heading towards the dragon.
 They shouted and swung their swords.
 It was a small sword compared to the dragon.
 However, the sword blows hurled by the two were heavy, and each flash inflicted a deep wound on the dragon.

''Goooooooooooooooooooooooo!''

 Dragon's anguish.
 It was soon over.
 The dragon that had been slashed by Lara and the others eventually disappeared, along with the light.

'Yay, Marise!
We slayed the dragon on our own, didn't we?

 Lara and Marise landing.
 Their bodies were trembling slightly, perhaps because of the aftermath of their victory.

 The circle of jubilation spread not only between the two of them, but also to their surroundings. 

''Doh, the dragon has disappeared!
I don't know what happened but could it have been those girls?
'My God! I can't believe those girls, who look so weak, are going to slay a dragon!
'Whoa, whoa, whoa! King's Landing has been saved, whoa, whoa!

 The cheers gradually grew louder and louder.

Nyahaha. It looks like we've done something terrible.
It's not that big of a deal.

 Lara scratched her cheek, while Marise cleared her face.

'Oh, now, Marise. You looked like Kurt.
Like Kurt?

 Like me........or not, you shouldn't be satisfied with defeating a dragon.
 It is true that the dragon was a powerful enemy, but the two of us can still grow up.
 I could feel that.

 The two of them were making a smile as the people cheered them on.

 ◆ ◆

'Lara and Marise ... wow ...'

 Cynthia, who was watching the scene earlier with me, calls out.

'Yeah. 'Great,'
Does Kurt think so?
Of course.

 The Holy Savior's Sword, the Holy Saber Sword created by the two of us, is similar to the King's Flash (Divine Roi) that I buried Von Bask with.
 However, it was a completely different thing when I looked at the magic formula.

 Two red and purple magic power.
 In addition, Lara and Marise's two people had a strong connection, deep in their hearts.
 That kind of........strength of heart, so to speak, was probably manifested in the magic of the Holy Savior's Sword, the Holy Saber Sword.

 Could I alone create the Holy Savior's Sword, the Holy Saber Sword by myself?
 No, it would be hard to do that right now.
 This kind of feeling ... that's exactly what I hadn't felt in a thousand years.

'I can't stand to look around either.
Kurt, are you laughing?

 When Cynthia pointed out to me, I put my hand over my mouth...............................and indeed, I seemed to be smiling unconsciously.


 The guy who was stronger than me was here.


 With this conviction in mind, I couldn't help but feel my heart racing.
