There is a certain someone that is wishing to fight strong people like you, so can you become his opponent? The truth is, this is the main objective for this assault. The reason why I granted the wish of the magicians was just an “extra” for this.”
The man who just says that creates a gigantic circle between us. The light runs through the floor, and it glows while forming a circle. Wait, our opponent? Who is he trying to make us fight? And this is their main objective……
So the reason why he made us come here is mainly for this! ……Rather, that magic-circle, I have seen it before. Yeah, it’s identical to the thing we used to summon the gigantic Dragon-King, Midgardsormr. Saji mutters. “—The Dragon Gate?”
Yeah, it’s the Dragon Gate! The one which calls the powerful Dragons! When I remained in the dimensional gap, I was originally meant to be summoned through this! The Dragon Gate is emitting a green colour. Doesn’t the Dragon Gate give out the colour of the Dragon which is being summoned? I heard that Ddraig is red, Albion is white, Vritra is black, Fafnir is gold, Yu-Long is green, Midgardsormr is grey, Tiamat is blue, and old-man Tannin is purple. “……Ehm, green? If I remember right, the Dragon that governs green is one of the Five Great Dragons, Yu-Long! Why is Yu-Long here! ?”
The easy going Dragon-King that I met in Kyoto! The aura around him was green! Then the one who is appearing from here is Yu-Long? W-Why? I became suspicious, but Kaichou shakes her head. “……No, that colour isn’t green…… It’s a darker……green colour……”
It certainly is dark. It’s dark green. ……It’s not Yu-Long? “Was there a Dragon that governs dark green……?”
Irina mutters. “—There was. In the past, a Dragon which represents dark green.”
The man wearing the silver robe says that, then the glow from the Dragon Gate gets brighter, and then spreads! Guoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! The sound—a roar, which shakes the whole white field comes out from the mouth of the thing. What appears in front of us is a gigantic monster with darkish scales which is standing on two legs. Thick arms and legs. Sharp claws, fangs, and horns. It’s spreading its enormously large wings, and it has a thick and long tail. Maybe it's more accurate to say that it’s a giant which has the features of a Dragon. A form which is close to a human. But it has wings, a tail, and its head is completely that of a Dragon. “—The legendary Dragon, “Crime Force Dragon” Grendel.”
The man wearing the robe says that, and the giant Dragon with sharp fangs opens its jaw. Its eyes glowing in silver colour are bright and sharp, and it's filled with hostility and killing intent. [Guhahahaha. It's been a while since going through the Dragon Gate! So, who is my opponent? He’s here, right? The insanely strong guy that I love so much!”
We become speechless at the sudden appearance of the mysterious Dragon. The size of its body rivals that of old-man Tannin. Except, there is a major difference with old-man Tannin. It’s not about its appearance. ——The quality of the aura around its body is very ominous. It has a black aura where you can see its evilness from just one look. A human-size black snake, Vritra, appears from Saji’s shadow. Vritra makes the brightness of its iris darker, and releases a shocking voice. [……! Grendel……!?] Yeah, I remember now. Sensei spoke of this guy few days ago. B-But……I was told that he was already terminated……! What’s going on……? Vritra continues. [……Impossible. This guy was terminated by the first Beowulf where there was nothing left after ending its tyranny.] The giant Dragon, Grendel, looks at me and Vritra. [——! This is interesting. The Heavenly Dragon, the red one! Vritra is also here! What’s with that look?] The Dragon narrows its silver eyes while taking interest. “The Two Heavenly Dragons have already been terminated, and are now sealed into the Sacred Gears.”
Hearing the words of the man wearing the robe, the Dragon laughs loudly. [Guhahahahahaha! What the, so you guys were taken down as well! Pitiful! Pitiful indeed! Heavenly Dragons, my ass! You guys were also terminated! Oh well, this certainly is it! An opponent who is good for my awakening!] The Dragon spreads its wings to the side after making a laugh, and lowers its posture! H-He’s coming……! This is bad! The quality of its aura is that of a Dragon with quite a threat! I’m not in my usual state, and we don’t have all our members here! Xenovia and Irina make a stance with their sword. “……Are we fighting him?”
“B-But, it’s my first time fighting a legendary Dragon!”
“It’s the same for me. I fought against those fake Midgardsormrs and baby Fenrirs in the battle against Loki……but no matter how you look at him, he is a Dragon-King class or higher!”
Yeah, it's exactly like what Xenovia said. This Dragon, it’s emitting an aura of a Dragon-King or higher. The man wearing the robe says it under this tense atmosphere. “……Sekiryuutei, are you not going to wear your armour?”
“Sorry. I’m not feeling well.”
“……This is a problem. One of the main objectives is the battle between you and Grendel.”
E-Even if you say that……
I also want to use it if I can! No, I should try call calling Ddraig again. “……Ddraig. Can you hear me, Ddraig? It seems like we have a little problem here. The Dragon called Grendel is our opponent. Hey, Ddraig!”
I shout towards the jewel. ……There’s no response. Is he still sleeping? When I thought like that—
[…………]
Oh, somehow, it seems like there is a response. “Ddraig, hey, what’s wrong?”
I ask once again. And then—
[……Onii-chan, who are you?] ………… Huh? I think I heard a weird phrase with Ddraig’s voice……
“……D-Ddraig-san……?”
I ask once again. Then, he replies like this. [Yup, my name is Ddraig. I’m a baby Dragon.] …………
Eh. “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! ?” My eyes pop out, and I can only scream at this! What’s with the “My name is Ddraig, I’m a baby Dragon”!? What happened!? What occurred!? Kaichou then says it to me who is confused. Ah, so everyone heard what Ddraig said just now. “……Perhaps.”
“Sona-kaichou, do you know what’s happening?”
Sona-kaichou answers Akeno-san’s question. “……This is just my assumption, but Sekiryuutei Ddraig was mentally cornered by the influence of Ise-kun’s “Oppai Dragon” and things related to it. On top of that, Ddraig used his power to resurrect Ise-kun back in the incident with monsters, and therefore has started to sleep more often. As the result of using too much of his powers, he hasn’t healed completely, and therefore might have reverted back to being a child.”
Reverted back to being a child……!? Is that those things which comes up quite often in manga and television!? Koneko-chan then says. “……It seems like he simply reverted back to being a child because of the oppai related things of Ise-senpai……”
Seriously!? So Ddraig who was all worn-out because of my Oppai-Dragon thing……made his mentality go back to that of a child? Suddenly, Ddraig makes a shivering sound.
