Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 59: There Wasn’t Much Time

Chapter 59: There Wasn’t Much Ti

One hour passed.

I used concealnt magic and discreetly left the city through the gate.

The shortsword couldn’t be used through Magic Transfer.

I even tried testing it, but Magic Transfer wouldn’t activate while I was holding it.

In fact, it wasn’t just Magic Transfer. Regardless of my own will, just holding the shortsword would cause all of my magic to be concentrated at the tip.

And so I currently had it sheathed and hanging on my belt.

Because of these reasons, I determined that I would have to fight the dragon directly if I wanted to use the sword.

Of course, the guild would try to stop if I told them of this.

They wanted to go only after they had assembled a good hunting party.

“…But there really isn’t ti.”

The sky over the Delight Forest was already much darker than it was last ti.

And from what I could see of the dragon through the slis, it was also bigger than before.

If this continued, it would be too strong to deal with within two days.

I was sure that the guild would assemble their best possible team of hunters, but what good would that be once the mythological dragon was fully grown?

I had to kill it before that happened.

‘Are there any other monsters near the dragon?’

‘They all ran away!’

‘It’s just us that remain!’

The last ti when I ca here for the quest, there had been lots of monsters around the dragon.

But now, the only monsters who tried to get close to it were the monsters that I had tad.

…Perhaps this ant that the ti for the dragon to start running wild was close at hand.

I wondered about this as I rushed through the forest at full speed.

Killing so many monsters must have made stronger because running long distances felt a lot easier now.

While I could only see my HP and MP on my status, perhaps there were other stats that were going up as well.

Though I had no way of seeing them right now.

-And like that, I ran through the forest…

It was when I was just about to reach the area that the dragon was, that the slis started screaming.

I had never heard their voices like that before. It was full of fear.

‘GAAAHHH!!’

‘Run away!!’

‘Thi-this is bad! Good slis, please get onto my back!’

The Proud Wolf said as they abandoned their posts and left the dragon in a panic.

I didn’t know what was happening, but it sounded bad. And so I cast so magic on the slis and Proud Wolf that would help them in their escape.

—And then about a dozen seconds passed.

Suddenly, a burst of imnse magic erupted from the area that the Blue Dragon of Delight was in.

As the slis were no longer close to it, I could not see the dragon…but I knew that it was the source of this power.

The slis probably had a natural instinct for these things, and so they ran away.

-But that wasn’t the only change that occurred.

Along with the explosive sound, the surrounding trees were torn from their roots.

‘Ahhhh!’

‘Oh, no! Proud Wolf! Hurry!’

‘I’m going as fast as I can!’

The slis were coming towards as if to escape the blast.

In spite of the tension in their voices, it seed like none of them had been hard.

Fifteen seconds later, the sound of the explosion reached my own ears.

Considering the ti lag, it was was probably the sa sound I had heard from the slis.

…How big of an explosion was it…

I would have probably died if I was close to it.

A crater had been created by the blast. And a single dragon hovered over it.

—It was the Blue Dragon of Delight.

However, it was at least twice as big compared to when I first saw it.

“Am I too late…?”

The priest had said that we only had 3 days.

And that was 2 hours ago.

I should still have a chance.

I wanted to believe…but that hope started to fade ever since I saw the explosion.

However, it was too late to run away.

If this was the dragon from the myth, it could destroy a continent in 3 days.

If I wanted to outrun it, I would have had to start running on the day I arrived in this world.

Of course, it was impossible.

In the myth, an ‘Emissary’ had defeated the dragon. But there was no such person in this world.

Even if we sohow escaped to another continent, that continent would be the next to be destroyed.

‘Yuji. What are you going to do?’

‘Fight. There is nothing else to do.’

It looked like a futile battle, but there was one hope.

This shortsword that the priest had given .

Combining this shortsword with Hellfire of Death might just be enough to kill the dragon in one shot.

…That is, if I could sohow pierce this 30 cm blade into the giant dragon that was currently floating up in the air.
