Chapter 59: Ceres VS Black Dragon, Part One

Lately, I've been being followed by someone.

And it's a terrible presence.

This person sometimes tries to kill me without making me feel anything, even though I'm as skilled as Shizuko and the others.

Just feeling his murderous intent is enough to make my body start shaking.

Who is this man?

He terrifies me more than any man I've ever fought.

Is he a demon king?

No, a demon king would never move from his castle in the demon kingdom.

Then... the Four Heavenly Kings are the only ones I can think of.

But... there's no point in targeting me alone if I'm not with Zect and the others.

Shizuko and the others must not be involved.

However, this enemy is targeting me alone.

I don't know what that means, but it's convenient.

Worst-case scenario, I'm the only casualty.

"Everyone, I'm going shopping a little bit."

""""Yes... Have a good day.""""

* * *

After that, I walked out of the town and headed for the woods nearby.

"You're following me, aren't you?"

"God? I'm above God... And the underworld Dragon Bauer-sama is far higher in rank than a Human Goddess... and he rules the underworld... but it's true I'm closer to a Divine Dragon... However, even a Goddess is below me in simple fighting power... So, if you call me a Divine Dragon instead of a God, I'd be flattered."

This is not good... not just a Hero or a Demon King... but even a Goddess is no match for him...

"I restate... What does such a great 'Divine Dragon' want from me, Black Dragon-sama?"

This world is too scary... There was a being who could say that even the Demon King was a small fry?

Such a being was not even found in the history books.

But the trembling in my body tells me it's not a lie.

That's what it's telling me.

"Well... You've slain countless dragons while being a human... I admire you."

Did I survive...?

"Thank God."

"Well, dragons are powerful beings and are admired for their strength, they can be defeated even in many-to-many battles. But you alone have slain countless dragons, you are a 'hero (Yuusha)' of the human race and I will never forget your name, but it is also true that you have slain countless dragonkind... So with the greatest respect, I, Black Dragon, challenge you a duel as one of the five great dragon lords Therefore, You should be honored... You can fight with the Great Dragon Lord."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... I can only see a future of death.

Even though I'm so close to living happily ever after...

"It's not possible. A novice like me cannot challenge a Great Divine Dragon to a fight..."

"Then, I will give you a handicap... we will fight in the crater on the mountain beyond this forest... And you win if you can escape to this forest again... I also not turn myself into a dragon during the battle... That's my handicap... So let's go... Dragonification."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

How can I win against this being...? It's like a mountain... bigger than the Royal Castle... it's like Tokusatsu hero fighting a giant monsters...

Its mouth that could easily swallow me... dropped me into the crater at the top of the mountain.

From here... to the forest, which is several kilometers by all accounts... it's over.
