Koko wa Ore ni Makasete Saki ni Ike to Itte kara 10 Nen ga Tattara Densetsu ni Natteita Chapter 165 - The Battle with the Dark Ones

The Battle with the Dark Ones

Blood spurted out of the neck of the evil dragon and covered me as I landed on the ground.

Then I looked at the water dragons with a smile.

“That’s not enough to kill me.”

“Amazing!”

“Thank you!”

The water dragons said happily.

The enemy must have seen us talking and decided it was their chance.

A vampire lord jumped out to my side.

“Groof!”

Grulf’s fangs tore into the vampire lord’s neck.

“You-you filthy dog!”

The vampire lord panicked and tried to transform in order to escape.

However, it seemed like he couldn’t.

“Wh-why…why…”

And just like that, he turned into a pile of ashes.

“You did it, Grulf!”

“Groof!”

Perhaps vampires could not transform if Grulf bit into them.

“But the dragon breath is dangerous, so stay close to me.”

“Groof-groof!”

But Grulf did not look scared.

Playing with the water dragons so much had probably made him braver.

Just then, a vampire from the far back began to shout.

“Why is there a human in a place like this!”

It was a lord, no, a high lord.

Since he was in the back, he was likely a commander.

“It’s more strange for your filthy kind to appear here.”

“Silence! You inferior creature!”

“Are you the leader of these rats?”

“How dare you call us that! You shall regret this!”

And the fight continued.

The water dragons also used their water breath to retaliate. And as it was their best attack, it was quite powerful.

But the breath of the evil dragons was also strong.

You would take a great deal of damage if it hit you.

On the other hand, the vampire lords and high lords were not much to talk about.

But they could still be a threat.

As the evil dragons were so confident in their vitality, they tended to take every attack instead of dodging them.

However, compared to the evil dragons, it was harder to hit the vampires.

They were not only fast, but they could turn into mist or bats.

This meant that they would occasionally appear behind you or to your side.

And that was very dangerous when you were focused on avoiding the evil dragons’ attacks.

“All of you, don’t push yourselves too hard!”

“Understood!”

I called to the water dragons as I inspected the scene.

Morris was very strong. He could fight two evil dragons at once.

And I shot magic bullets whenever I had a chance.

Because of this, the battle was moving in our favor.

We could win if things continued like this.

It happened just as we were all starting to feel a sense of relief.

“GAAAAAALAAAA!!”

A ma.s.sive evil dragon appeared. It was much bigger than even Grand Chamberlain Morris.

Not only that, but it was even bigger than Dorgo.

“What!”

“No…”

The water dragons started to make sounds that sounded a lot like screaming.

“Hahahaha! You fools! Regret your actions and die!”

The high lord shouted with glee.

“So that’s your trump card?”

“Hmph. Is that what you think?”

The high lord smiled suggestively.

It seemed like they had others as well.

That being said, there was nothing to do now but to defeat this giant dragon.

As it was bigger than Dorgo, I had to go all out.

I took one step forward and was just about to dash towards the giant evil dragon.

But just then, the giant evil dragon breathed.

It wasn’t fire. It wasn’t wind or water or ice.

The breath was like a dark-colored mud.

I didn’t know what it was. But I had a very bad feeling about it.

“Don’t let it touch you!”

I shouted as I created a magic barrier.

I also made barriers around the water dragons.

Any trees that the black mud touched became dried up in an instant.

“A poison breath!”

The magic barrier shook violently when the poison breath hit it.

—CREEEEAAAAKK

There was an unsettling sound.

It wasn’t just poison. There was strong magic in it.

–CRACK-CRACK

The barrier began to break. I frantically put up another barrier.

Just then, the first one shattered completely.

Only an incredibly powerful breath would have been able to destroy my barrier.

I could not even attack it. It took everything I had to maintain the barrier.

And the giant evil dragon’s breath was not over yet.

“You can sure breath for a long time!”

I could not allow the breath to get pa.s.sed us.

It would do immense damage if it leaked into the settlement.

Just then, I felt a disturbing presence to my side.

“DIE!”

A vampire lord appeared right next to me as I focused on the barrier.

He swung his sword at me.

“Grrr!”

Grulf bit into the right hand that held the sword.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

The vampire lord swung the short sword in his left hand.

I tried to protect Grulf from the short sword by making a barrier.

Just then, there was a loud sound and a scream.

“Gaaa…ggg…”

“Things seem to be quite dire over here.”

Dorgo’s fist was protruding from the vampire lord’s stomach.

Dorgo was still in human form.

“Thank you.”

“I am sure you would have managed just fine by yourself, Mister Ruck?”

“Well, thank you. Regardless.”

“I am glad to hear it.”

And then Dorgo looked up at the giant evil dragon.

“Hmm. I suppose it would be better to fight that thing in my dragon form.”

Dorgo said. And with that, he transformed back into a dragon.
