Dragoness Island. It is a little smaller than Brunhild. In the center of the island is the Dragones volcano, which is constantly fuming. The island is a wasteland and not a very habitable place to live.
　It is said that the dragons that live here mainly eat large fish and demon fish in the sea around the island. They would occasionally go out of the island to hunt for demonic beasts in uninhabited forests and other places nearby. In other words, they kept a certain amount of distance from people.
　However, recently, they are said to be attacking livestock in the human village, targeting fishing boats heading to the harbor and doing whatever they want.
　All of the "old dragons" that were on the island have disappeared, and it seems that they have lost control.
　Ruri and I had come to the sandy beach of the island. When we arrived at the island, Ruri, who was beside me, bellowed loudly so that the whole island could hear. Wait, my ears are going to keel over!
　Immediately, a gyaa gyaa can be heard and dragons appear from all over the island. You will find a group of young upper level dragons, in addition to subspecies of lower level dragons such as flying dragons, sea dragons and earth dragons, coming towards you.

''We've been surrounded.''
What did you say, by the way?
"Foolish dragons who have forgotten their pride, the time has come to purge. Are you ready to die?

　Well, make no mistake. I've come to beat those dragons who have gone off the beaten path. ........Anyway.

''Gya-gya-gya-gya, shut up!

　To me, who doesn't understand dragon language, it's nothing but noise. I'm sure it's something complaining, though.

"Well, well, well. I wonder which dragoncaster came from?

　A lone dragon tribe comes over here, weaving through the crowd of earth dragons that lined the sandy beach.
　There are many tall guys among the dragon race, and this guy is no exception, he is quite tall. He's nearly two meters tall. It's a sturdy build, dressed in gleaming armor and cloak. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. The thick tail and horns characteristic of the dragon race are visible.

I'm sure you're the 'dragon king' from what I can tell.
What? I am delighted that my name is spreading quickly. So who are you?
Brunhild is the king of a small country.

　With a twitch, the man's eyebrows moved. 'You seem to know me.

'....Ho. I was surprised to see you here. I'm glad to hear that my men were so helpful to you the other day.
It's not that I don't care. I didn't even listen to him. Yeah, I heard that that sounding needle you use is a defective product. I think you should get rid of that crap.
Wha...

　The man is upset when the source of the dragon control is revealed; he didn't expect to know about the 5,000+ year old grimoire, the Artifact.

''So, I'm going to ask you, are you sure you're the mastermind behind controlling the dragon?
It's a shame you're manipulating me. I'm just letting you go! They were bound by the old dragon's law! A dragon is a creature that is stronger than anything else, nobler than anything else, and wiser than anything else. Why should that dragon be reserved for humans!
Smart, hey. I think all these dragons are stupid.
Agreed.

　Ruri by my side agrees. I think a smart guy would have run away long ago.
　After all, is this guy a thing, or is he a dragon supremacist? It is said that the dragon race is proud and spends most of their lives in their own training. They are seekers of their own path. However, if you make a mistake, that pride will become an arrogance, and you'll go astray. That part is really just like the dragon.

Your dragon was defeated by this 'human being'...
Shut up! If it's one on one, there's no way the dragon can lose in combat! Don't talk so much like a human being with nothing but fertility!
If individual strength is a characteristic of a dragon by that logic, then fertility is a human characteristic and strength. Besides, I can take out a dragon of this level by myself.

　To be exact, I'm said to be a demigod, so it's doubtful that I'm strictly human. Well, even Yae, Else and the others can probably defeat it, so it's not exactly a lie.

So that's why you came to this island, isn't it? It's a great deal of confidence, but if you believe that you can handle this many dragons, then I'd say you're crazy. With the power of this many dragons, it's not hard to get the world in your hands, right?

　Clearly sweating suspiciously, the Dragon King spits out such lines. Really? It seems there are at least 500 dragons here alone, but can they conquer the world with that? I'm not sure.

What do you think? If you're on my side, I'll give you half the world. So, "POOF! What's funny!

　No, you're laughing! "The Dragon King" and that line makes you laugh! I didn't think you'd say that in real life. I'm not a brave man or anything. Of course the answer is no.

I'm not going to be able to say it. I mean a bunch of useless people. If this many dragons were in control, but they were simply drawing their power from the field, what's the point of being afraid of this? You seem to have an attitude of "I can control the dragons, but I don't do that, I let them go free" or something like that, but in reality you can control one or two of them, but any more than that and you've got a headache or a physical ailment.
Ugh!

　It seems to be a figurehead. What Sheska and the others said about the "Needle of Control" being a defective product seems to be true. It's hard to act like a big shot, isn't it?

"Hmmm. You don't have to control them. You are the avenger of these dragons, the Dragonslayer. Every dragon in here is trying to kill you. And if I give them a single order...?

　In the next moment, the upper half of the man in front of him disappeared. No, I mean it disappeared, or rather, it was bitten off by the black dragon that was waiting behind him.
　Whoa. The bloody lower half of his body collapsed in a heap. Gross......... Something's going out, something's going out!
　The lower dragons and the younger higher dragons couldn't speak the human language, but they could understand it.
　For the increasingly arrogant dragons, they probably didn't really want to descend under the sub-human's control, even if it was to gain power. Because of the risk of being manipulated, they may have held back until now, but if it turns out to be nothing more than a groundless fear, there's no need to refrain from doing so.
　Judging from the conversation I'm having with him, this black dragon has quickly bared his fangs.

I had it coming, but.......I guess this doesn't mean the problem is already solved, right?
"Bloodbath! And "The human touch! And it's still abusive as ever.'
'Oh, it's a pain in the ass. Let's get it all together.

　He snapped his fingers and opened the 'gate'. With a thud, frame gears were transferred one after another to the beach.
　The dragons exuded impatience at the giants that suddenly appeared. A total of 50 machines were called out. In terms of numbers, it's a tenth, but even this might be a lot.

''Everyone is informed. Don't hesitate. If we win, we'll have another barbecue at the dragon meat tonight.''
"Oh!

　I'll tell everyone on an open line through the receiver. Unlike before, this time it would be a little easier. The opponents aren't as hard as Fraise, and they're also able to understand magic. The problem, though, is that it's not too much. I'd be extra worried that a dragon in a mincing state would indeed be hard to sell.
　Well, there's no way to start thinking about that. For the safety of neighboring villages and towns, to protect the proud dignity of other dragons, and to warm the pockets of our country, we will not shy away. The number of victims is already quite high. We will stop them here.

Brünnhild Knights, charge!
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

　With a shout, the heavy knights "Chevalier" and others rushed towards the dragon. Flaming bullets and flaming breaths flew from the dragons, but they blocked them with the large shield in their hands and forcefully cut off the heads of the dragons in close proximity with one swipe.
　The other dragons, seeing the strength of their opponents, flew away at once. But then a wind magic was released from one heavy knight, and several of the dragons caught in the tornado lost control and fell.
　The etheric liquid used in the frame gear is responsible for amplifying magic power and carrying it to every corner of the plane. Magic that interferes with others, such as recovery magic, is impossible, but magic other than light and darkness can be used for the most part.
　The heavy knights hunt the dropped dragons one by one. Ah, bouncing off their heads with a sword or a single stab to the heart with a spear is fine, but smashing their heads with a mace or warhammer is not allowed. You get bought off cheaply.
　As the companions are beaten one by one, the black dragon that bit off the dragon king (I didn't know his real name, after all) is scurrying around restlessly asking about them. Seeing this, Ruri took a step forward.

''Ruri?''
"Lord. The punishment of this man will be mine. I will remind him of the strength of a true dragon for defiling his pride as a dragon without much preparation.
Hmm.... Oh well. I know how you feel.
Thank you.

　Saying that, Ruri took a deep breath and let out another glass-shattering roar at the black dragon. Wait, so my ears are keening!
　In response, the black dragon also roared, but it was not as powerful as Ruri's, and it was a very pathetic voice.
　I'm not sure if I understood that myself, but after showing a pretense of flinching for a moment, he fired a flaming bullet from his mouth towards Ruri. However, Ruri did not avoid it, but instead received it head on.
　It was a bit surprised, but the flaming bullets didn't hurt its blue scales, and Ruri sat there unperturbed.
　This time, the black dragon, who was visibly dismayed by Zhou Shou wolf, took a step back. On the contrary, Ruri jumped out in one go and bit into the black dragon's throat whistle, and a disgusting sound of beeping and decapitated cries echoed across the beach. Uaaaah. This is also harsh.........
　The corpse of the black dragon collapses on the sandy beach. After watching it, Ruri let out a roar that echoed across the island again.
　Then several dragons beside her crawled to the ground as if they were scared and stopped moving. Soon, a communication came in from the receiver.

''........Your Majesty. A few dragons fell to the ground and stopped resisting, but this........''
'Ruri. Does this mean you're surrendering?
'Yes, sir. I've made the recommendation of surrender one last time. Those who obey will cease to resist. Otherwise, in the name of Emperor Soh, we will turn every last one of them to dust.

　We're not going to let you go down in the dust. It's an important source of funding. Well, joking aside, does that mean that there are people who know the name Sohyo? But there are still many foolish ones who continue to resist.

''Don't mess with the irresistible dragons. You can take down the ones that come at you. It is also possible that they may fake surrender, so be careful.
Copy that.

　Eventually, out of the 500 dragons, more than 350 of them were defeated, and the rest surrendered and had the Echoing Needle of Domination pulled out of their heads. This artifact, there were quite a few of them, right? Could it be that the place where they had been collected for disposal had been sealed off for some reason and unearthed after many stars and frosts...?
　I wanted to know all the details, but the only person who knows the truth is the lower half of his body. Just in case, I buried the body (only the lower half of the body) in the beach. And I also buried the black dragon next to it. It's not mercy or anything like that. I simply didn't want to take it home if I thought the upper half of the body was in this guy's stomach.
　That was a good example of how using tools wrong can destroy you. I should be careful. Maybe it's too late.
