Chapter 137 A Broken Heart

“Yug…”

Zeal is enchanted, so he can’t talk to me. However, I should be able to talk to Yug. Is there anything I can do? What should I do? There are so many things I want to ask. Even if there’s no solution, I want to talk to someone. My heart has broken to that extent. But Yug won’t talk to me. I don’t know if she’s given up on me or what, but she won’t talk to me. The reality of it is going to shatter even the most broken of hearts.

“Damn…”

I whipped my exhausted body to stand up. If I sat down like this, I’ll likely be attacked. I’m going to die after fulfilling my duty as a lord until the end.

“Gah…!”

And the battle with the humanoid dragon began again. But this time, the fight lasted less than a minute. I don’t know if it was because I lost my concentration, or because the humanoid dragon’s skills had grown, or both. But the end was dreadful.

“……”

“Gah!”

The timing of the jab was unavoidable. Even in my haste, it was all I could do to guard myself with my two swords. The sword I used to guard myself broke immediately. The jab, still maintaining its momentum, struck me in the side. I was blown away, unable to even speak from the sheer force of the blow. I thought I heard the happy voice of the humanoid dragon as I got blown away.

“Ka…Kahyu…”

I don’t know how long I was blown away, but it seems I hit a rock and stopped. My internal organs seemed to have been damaged and I couldn’t even spit out blood or breathe properly. This is the power of a jab guarded by a sword. There was no way I could win from the start. I’m sure that drinking the elixir will cure all my wounds. But enough of that…. If I’m going to die anyway, I might as well give the expensive elixir to Sophie, who will be here in a few hours.

“Shit…”

Sophie’s coming here? The moment I thought that, all the thoughts in my head stopped for a moment. What will these monsters do after they kill me? My guess is that they’ll stay in my city for at least a day or two. Because they don’t know where to go to find people anymore. So I can expect that they’ll think it’s better to stay in the city where they’ll surely come if they wait. But this is what these monsters would have thought if they were smart. But even if they weren’t smart, they would continue to eat the food left in people’s houses until it was gone. It would definitely take at least a day.

And what would happen if Sophie were to face these monsters? First of all, it’s impossible to win. Then the question is, what happens if she loses? It’d be better if she was just killed. But these guys are Orcs. Orcs rape women regardless of their race. Would Sophie let them do that to her? I’m not going to let that happen. My broken heart was revived.

“Gigi……”

I took the elixir in my mouth, enduring the pain all over my body. And since I couldn’t swallow it on my own, I managed to force it down my throat with my hands. Then, all the wounds on my body healed and I even recovered all my magic power and strength that I had almost lost.

“Fu…”

I stood up quietly.

I couldn’t see the humanoid dragon coming towards me. Was it expecting me to get up and come at him? But the little time I’ve been given is good because it gives me time to think.

First of all, what should I do to get these monsters to leave? The first thing that came to mind was to kill the fat orc. If I kill the biggest one, these monsters will disperse. But that’s impossible because of the humanoid dragon. There was no convenient way to kill him without the humanoid dragons’ eyes keeping watch.

My next thought was to kill or mortally wound the humanoid dragon. The humanoid dragon was definitely the biggest force among these monsters. What would happen if such a maximum force couldn’t even reach the city right after the attack? They would wait for the wounds of the humanoid dragon to heal and then come back even stronger. Even if the humanoid dragon went to the city out of resentment for being hit, Sophie would be able to escape easily as long as the humanoid dragon was not there.

“Okay…”

Now that I knew what I had to do, I started walking. The first problem was how to mortally wound the humanoid dragon. The first thing that came to mind was to self-destruct with Yug using spirit magic. But Yug wouldn’t respond, so I couldn’t do that. The next thing that came to mind was Zeal’s spirit Advent. From what I’ve seen of Elira in the national team, Spirit Advent is very powerful. I wondered if I could combine it with lightning enchantment and Raiden armor.

The problem with this is that I don’t know if I can do Spirit Advent. But I know how to use and wear lightning with lightning magic, spirit magic and Raiden armor and I know how to put spirit and lightning in my body with spirit magic, lightning absorption and enchantment. I should be able to pull it off. No, I have to be able to do it.

“Gaaa! “Gaaa!!!”

“Lightning Double Enchantment, Raiden Armor.”

The path to the humanoid dragon was easy to find, as I was re-treeing. I seemed to have been blown away nearly 50 meters.

First of all, the humanoid dragon seemed happy to see me. Secondly, it must have sensed something different from my mood. It shouted as if to say, “Hurry up, hurry up’. As if in response to that voice, I was covered in lightning. I’ve never done a double enchantment with the same magic before, but it seems to be possible. It’s the first time I’ve discovered this in a situation like this.

“Let’s go!”

“Gah !!!!!”

I took a big swing with my right arm and headed towards the humanoid dragon. The humanoid dragon shook his arm happily and came at me. I know it’ll take a moment before I could perform a spirit advent, but I have to make sure I don’t miss that shot.

In terms of magical power, I have three MP potions left, so I’m fine. However, the humanoid dragon had been able to take any attack without guarding against it. However, if they became wary of this attack and started to avoid it, it would be nearly impossible to hit them again. So even if I die from the full force of the humanoid dragon’s attack, I must strike this one blow.

“Spirit Advent, Zeal!”

That’s what I said as I took my last step toward the humanoid dragon. The words came quickly and unconsciously out of my mouth. And I felt the amount of lightning I was wearing increase many times over. The moment I took that last step, I saw the humanoid dragon in front of me. At that speed, I reflexively punched the humanoid dragon in the stomach with all my strength. At the same time, I was also hit by the humanoid dragon.

“………?”

I found myself sitting on the ground, leaning against something. I tried to move my body to check the situation, but I couldn’t move at all. In addition, I couldn’t feel my right arm.

When I opened my eyes, my right arm was gone. In addition to that, there was an unnatural, terrible numbness in my left stomach. But when I looked at it closely, I saw that part of my belly was hanging open and a lot of blood was flowing from those wounds. Then the memory of how this happened came back to me. The moment I hit him, I was punched too and blown away and my arm was bitten off. I guess I was too quick to hit the humanoid dragon and it missed its mark a little, so I avoided getting a hole in my stomach. And thanks to the bite on my arm, I didn’t seem to be blown away as much this time. When I slowly looked up, I saw the humanoid dragon with a torn hand and scales peeling off of its belly.

“………”

In the end, the final blow that cost me my life only peeled off the scales. Not a single drop of blood seemed to have flowed. And the scales that came off are regenerating little by little. By the way, why is it that I only have one hand? Where did the other arm go? Oh, it was eaten. It seems that even the elixir can’t restore my arm. But I guess it doesn’t matter…. I can’t even make a sound anymore. It’s amazing that I didn’t die instantly. I wonder if they’ll let me off the hook for today because of the wound on the humanoid dragon.

As I thought about this, my body became colder and colder and my ability to think slowed down. I slowly closed my eyes as I watched the humanoid dragon walk towards me, trying to stop me.

The last thing I saw was the humanoid dragon getting hit by a giant hand of dirt that grew out of the ground blowing him away.
