Disciple of Immortal - Act 3: Chapter 14: Dogma of Fire Dragon

Act 3: Chapter 14: Dogma of Fire Dragon

「You guys are adventurer, right? Which rank are you?」

As we guided the three knights, Bennett asked us.

「We’re C-rank adventurer.」

When I replied so, Bennett exchanged grin with one-eyed man.

「Hah, C-rank with that look eh. Well, Manarak is no good after all.」

「Kanata-san… Shall we unleash Philia-chan on them?」

This time, Pomera whispered to me with a sulking look on her face.

「Just ignore what they say, please just ignore it.」

We walked for a while after that till we could see the adventurer guild building.

「Ah, that’s the building eh?」 Said Bennett as he raised his face upon seeing the building.

「Okay, this is enough.」

Bennet spoke as he shooed us away with a gesture of his hand.

… Honestly, I didn’t care about it but, I really wish that we could finish this without any trouble along the way.

At that moment, a man with shabby attire ran in our direction, and about to collide with the one-eyed knight.

The one-eyed knight raised his sword’s sheath immediately and throw that man on the ground.

The man fell right there.

「You’ve got some nerve for running toward me. What makes you run in a hurry like that?」

The one-eyed knight then pressed the back of the fallen man with the tip of his sword.

Seeing that spectacle, I heaved a sigh since they still ended up causing a ruckus.

At that moment, a woman came closer, and suddenly lunged toward a one-eyed knight with a knife in her hands.

Seeing that, even I had no idea what was happening now.

The one-eyed knight groaned and flicked off the knife in the woman’s hand with the sheath of his sword.

Suddenly, a scream resounded in the city.

When the other people were running away from this place, a group of armed people came and surround us.

There were dozens of them.

「Dammit, they got me this time! The knife is poisoned!」

The one-eyed knight suddenly screamed as he fell to his knee.

「Oi, Manrakians, you went too far!」

Bennet spoke as a frown appeared on his face.

But, he didn’t get the leeway in this kind of situation.

「It’s okay, right? I prefer this kind of excitement rather than this boring job.」

The purple-haired woman revealed a belligerent smile as she readied her sword.

「K-Kanata-san, this is…」

Pomera spoke to me while looking around restlessly.

「… It seems they’re aiming at those knights.」

I suddenly recalled Rosmonde’s reminder from a few days ago.

『Yesterday, a group of strange people came to Manarak. They carry weapons despite not being registered as adventurers. One of them resembles the man in the wanted poster that has been attacking travelers. Those ruffians who aren’t registered as adventurers are really standing out since they’re walking in the city when it’s still broad daylight with weapons in their hands, which is clearly strange. Even a stupid person can guess that those people are up to no good.』

It seems they knew beforehand that the three knights would come to Manarak and decided to hide in this city.

Seeing this situation, their scale was clearly greater than it was told by Rosemonde.

It wasn’t just a group of suspicious-looking people.

「Summoning Magic, 8th Rank; 《Flare Drago》!」

Suddenly, a voice resounded from above.

When I looked in the man’s direction, I saw a man with intimidating eyes, face covered with a bandage standing on there.

A red-scaled dragon appeared on the man’s back.

The overall length of the dragon was around 20 metres.

It had pair of long beards and a mane, overall, its appearance resembled an oriental dragon rather than a western dragon.

It seems to be the summoned Flare Drago.

「A-rank wanted list; 《Dogma of Fire Dragon》!」

Bennett screamed when he saw the man.

「HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! The Knights-sama over there, let’s play with us!」

The man then jumped on the head of the dragon.

The flare drago then rushed at us as they spewed numerous fireballs toward our direction.

The stray fireballs destroyed the stone-paved road.

「GUOOOOOOO!」

The one-eyed knight got blasted by the explosion and currently rolled on the ground.

「Ugh! We’re gonna die if we received a direct hit from this… Let’s attack the summoner with our fastest speed!」

Bennet was running toward the 《Dogma od Fire Dragon》 after he dodged the fireball, albeit barely.

I stood in front of Pomera and Philia, swatting the fireballs to another direction.

Since it wasn’t magic, 《Lunaire Robe》 had no effect on them but, the fireballs weren’t that powerful to begin with.

Since it was only 8th rank spirit, its level wasn’t that high.

At most, it was only level 100 spirit.

「A-As expected of Kanata-san…」

「Pomera-san, let’s assist the knights!」

Though their attitude truly annoyed me, it would be a completely different matter when it comes to this situation.

I really want to avoid being the centre of attention but, those assailants were truly dangerous if I left them unchecked.

Two men sprung from front and rear.

Though their combination attack was flawless, they were too slow.

I swung my arm, and grazed their chin with my hand knife.

「Urgh!」

That light graze was enough to topple the two men.

Though they got knocked out, they wouldn’t lose their life.

I had to be very careful since their level was too low.

「《Flare Flies》」

Some fireballs appeared around Pomera and then dropped to the ground.

Those fireballs then exploded on the ground, blowing the assailants away.

「Y-You guys… What are you?」

The one-eyed knight who rolled on the ground raised his face as he looked at us with a dumbfounded look on his face.

「TCH!」

The purple-haired woman was landing near us.

It seems she was forced to retreat by the enemies’ attacks since her armour was damaged, there were bruises on her body too.

There was also scald from the heat of the exploded fireball from the flare drago.

… I guess the level of royal capital knight isn’t that high.

Those three were at least as strong as A-rank adventurers.

The purple-haired woman stooped forward, and picked out the magic pouch of the one-eyed knight.

「I’m going to look after this.」

「I’ll leave it to you… This is, the end of me after all…」

And then, the purple-haired woman escaped from the gap between the enemies.

The knights seem to come to Manarak to deliver something.

And the target of those assailants might be kept in the magic pouch.

「S-SOMEONE SHAVE MHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!」

Bennett’s scream resounded in the area.

When I turned to the direction of that voice, I saw the flare dragon-with Dogma mounted on its head- was holding Bennet in its jaws, dragging him along the ground.

「HYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU DISSAPOINT ME, KNIGHT-SAMA! YOU’RE JUST A HINDRANCE! ANYONE WHO DARES TO STOP ME WILL TASTE MY WRATH!」

The flare dragon rushed toward me from the front.

Now I get a clear view of Bennett’s tears-stained face.

I might hit Bennet by accident if I used magic in this situation.

I unsheathed 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》, and slashed the approaching flare drago.

The flare dragon crumbled into ashes the moment 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 struck it.

The flare drago’s head fell on the ground.

「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….」

It roared for the last time before it vanished.

I caught Bennet who fell from the jaw of the flare drago with my left hand.

「Hiha, hahahahahaha…」

Suddenly, I heard a feeble laugh from behind.

The owner of the voice was Dogma who fell from flare drago.

His limbs were broken from the sudden fall and bending to strange directions.

「You, are… Way too strong…」

Dogma barely kept consciousness and then passed out due to pain.
