Hard Work Will Never Betray Me (WN) - Chapter 129

“Py！！”

“What the ………………………?”

A long, narrow, and ridiculously heated ray of light of destruction is shot at the Jabberwock, which was already fully wounded. It was more than a “fire-breathing” ray. It is literally a beam of heat from another dimension, filled with destructive fire. The ray, which contained so much energy that it glowed with a purple-white light, was like that of the giant monster in the monster movies that were popular when I was in Japan, when the cabinet was (physically) forced to resign.

Fortunately, when it released its ray, ! and his mouth doesn’t crack vertically. Tama-chan, being the cute little Tama-chan that she was, did her best to open her mouth wide and release her destructive beam of light.

“GOU!!!”

The Jabberwock, on the other hand, was in pain as Tama-chan’s super destructive beam of light smashed through his torso.

“What a waste of time!”

Marx, who had been in despair until a few minutes ago, was now in a state of shock. The reason being, just a few minutes ago, Markus was tormenting the Jabberwock with such a nasty trap. How can you talk about others?

But this is the chance Tama-chan gave us!

　 The Jabberwock is screaming in its flesh, with no “physical reinforcement” performed on it, and I slashed at its neck

“Ooooooh —-……”

The Jabberwock’s head finally separates from his torso. It’s a good thing I trained myself up to fight in the raw state . ……

“Deryaaaah!

And with that force, he kicked his neck like a ball and separated it from his torso. I was afraid that if I put the severed part back together, it might not regenerate as it was. But if the body and neck are left in this state of separation, it would be impossible for the body to regenerate with such a large amount of damage. Even the Jabberwock is a living creature. Death is inevitable.

“……!　……—-……”

The Jabberwock is separated from its main body and lungs, so it can’t even make a sound and rolls around with only its head. The eyes are firmly focused on us, so it seems that he is not yet dead. It’s a life force that is …… totally different from the life force of the grass.

Its life force …… is like a grass blowfish. …… I keep my distance from the Jabberwock, remembering the time I once fished in the Seto Inland Sea, ready to run away at any moment. Like its head, its torso is still bouncing around, so I can’t bypass it and get close to it.

‘Eberhard!　Markus!”

Oscar, who had been focused on shooting from a distance, came back. Just in time. Since neither Markus nor I have any more power left to fight, let’s have Oscar put a finish to it.

“Oscar, burn him.”
“Okay.”

Oscar burns the Jabberwock’s head with low-level fire spell. The Jabberwock survived for a while, but after a few minutes of burning, it finally became dead and no longer reacted. The body of the Jabberwock has already stopped moving, and after a long time, there is silence in the Demon Forest.

　—-We won. We are saved.

The body has already died.

And then Marie arrived, out of air. She must have come quite fast. Marie looked tense and had sweat drops on the forehead.

“Marie, you’re a little late. I’ve already beaten it.”

“What, ……, really,……. You seem to be all right. ……”

After that, Marie was dazed for a while, but when she had caught her breath and calmed down, she turned to us and bowed her head.

“I’m sorry about ……. I had not expected such a strong Jabberwock. The Jabberwock is deadly, but even so, it’s usually ranked from B to A. I think it’s more common for such an entity to occur once every few hundred years. I have lived for 200 years and have never seen or heard of such a strong Jabberwock.

Apparently, this was an extraordinary situation that even Marie could not have anticipated.

“What about the other teams?”

No problem. The rest of the teams seem to be generally B+ rank or so. All the teams were able to defeat them without any problems.

“So it’s just us?’

“Yes, that’s right. Maybe we should seriously investigate this. …… By the way, Eberhard.”

“What?’

“What is that little dragon?”

　”What is that little dragon?”

Marie looks at Tama-chan with a look that says, “I just saw something impossible!”! Tama-chan was probably tired from the destructive beam she had just released , and was sleepily dozing off. Well, it can’t be helped. She was just born. I’m amazed she made it this far in just a few dozen seconds after being born. I have to take good care of her.

“What’?　This is Tama-chan. She’s my summoned beast.”

“As I thought. “

　Marie-lets out a very loud sigh and rubs her forehead. You’re acting as if there’s something wrong with it .

“Is something wrong?”

“I have an idea about the race is from …… juvenile dragon. I’m just puzzled by it.”

“Huh. I’ll be damn.”

Marie pauses for a moment here, and then, without missing a beat, she tells us,

“The young dragon is the legendary elemental dragon from mythology.”

　　　　　＊

“Elemental Dragon ……?”

‘Yes.”

Marie’s explanation was as follows.

The legendary elemental dragon is a legendary dragon that appears in the legendary mythology of the empire, which is crowned by the first emperor, the founder of the empire, who was a brave warrior. That partner is the first hero’s contracted divine beast, the original dragon. It is said to be a higher species of dragon than all other species that exist in this world, and the first ancestor of all dragon types.

The original dragon is as intelligent as a human or more, is well-versed in all kinds of special skills, and is the most powerful race in the world, ruling the sky with its mighty power. To follow the primordial dragons is to rule the sky, and for this world, where airspace control is even more important than it is for the modern earth, it is the same as controlling the world.

“No, . Even wyverns will listen to half of what you say if you tame them, right?　Isn’t ruling the world a bit much?”

I’m saying that they are a serious threat because they have the power to easily kill a wyvern swarm. They are literally the top of all dragon species

” I didn’t know he was such a great creature . You weren’t always such a gluttonous eater, were you?’

Tama-chan, such a legendary being, is now sleeping on my lap. Despite its odd-temperature animal-like appearance, Tama-chan’s knees are slightly warm, as if it is constant-temperature. I wonder if even a thermostatic animal can become practically constant temperature if it has so much heat inside its body.

“Well, in any case, there will be a big fuss in the capital again, I hope it is only a big fuss over a promotion.’

‘I don’t like the idea of another audience.　I’m so nervous. ……”

“Well, I’m sure you’ll get an audience.”

“Noooo!”

　One problem after another. I wonder if the time come when I can relax. I let out a sigh and stroked Tama-chan’s warm neck.
