Chapter 40: Fighting the Red Dragon
The red dragon jumped lightly from the rock wall and slowly walked towards us.
"So, if you want to completely fuse my bloodline, then this defect will inevitably be transferred to you." Red Dragon continued, "If you get to that point, you'll never be able to conceive. ”
"How...... How so...... Is there no way to do it? The girl bit her lip hard, and her tone was extremely unwilling.
"If you can separate my factor from your body, maybe there is a solution, but if you want to blame it, you humans are to blame." The red dragon shook his head again and again, "My heart was grafted onto you as a magic furnace heart, and now you are me, I am you, and there is no possibility of separation." ”
…………
"In this case, you can first find a way to solve your own defects and restore your normal fertility." Without thinking, I said to the Red Dragon, "After that, you can give all the power to Artoria." According to you, you've already become one, and you won't mind that. ”
"If it were so easy to fix, how could I have kept this flaw until now?" The red dragon sighed helplessly, "Do you know that this is the result of the world's fear that my bloodline is too strong and will produce supernormal offspring, thus restricting me?" ”
Actually involved in the world? I was amazed.
However, it can also be seen how powerful the bloodline and power of the red dragon itself is, and even the world has to be cautious about it.
…………
"The interference itself involving inhibition is already the result of insolubility, as for obtaining my full power...... Hehe, boy, do you know that so far the Knight King has received less than a thousandth of my total strength from me? At this pace, even if I let her absorb it, it would not be possible to do it without tens of thousands of years. "The red dragon seems to be mocking me for my incompetence.
"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try? For now, inhibition is also my enemy and Artoria's. We two weak humans dare to defy the inhibition of force, but as a dragon species, you don't even have the courage to do so? I couldn't help but retort.
"So you humans are really stupid, always like to do meaningless things, and even make heroes who die because of it." The red dragon shook his head and turned to the girl, "Just like you, Knight King. The fall of Britain has long been the choice of the world, so why should you insist on resisting? You will eventually find that not only is your hard work meaningless, but the cost is far higher than obeying fate. ”
…………
"I did think so, especially after the battle of Kamran, which made me shake my previous path." After a pause, the girl said, "But now I understand that even if I go back in time and let me go back to the beginning, I will not hesitate to draw that sword of king-electing." ”
“…… Because, no matter how many times I repeat it, my desire to protect the people will not change in any way. As long as there are weak people in front of me who need protection, even if I know that I will be defeated, I will still fight forever! I'm sure you, who have existed since time immemorial with the concept of 'protecting Britain', can fully understand what I'm thinking. The girl waved her hand violently and directly suppressed the momentum of the red dragon with passionate words.
…………
"Sure enough...... It's irrational, but that's why you, Knight King, are so beautiful that no one can match. The red dragon suddenly laughed, making the entire space brighten.
"Well, I'm not good at arguing with people in the first place. Prove your unyielding will, O Knight King, with your own strength. ”
As soon as the words fell, the red dragon's body suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.
The girl and I reflexively closed our eyes.
…………
The bright light lasted for more than ten seconds before it dimmed.
When we opened our eyes again, the beautiful woman in red was gone.
Standing in its original position was a giant dragon covered in crimson scales.
The dragon's limbs were strong but not exaggerated, and its body was extremely fluid, with a pair of membranous wings slowly flapping behind it.
…………
"Knight King, try to defeat me with all your might. If you can do it, I'll accept you as my companion and help you in your fight against the world. ”
The red dragon, which had revealed its original form, flicked its long tail and flapped its wings towards the girl.
"Shirou, don't interfere, this is my battle!"
Said this quickly to me, and the girl raised her sword without fear.
…………
We're going to fight again......
I had fully anticipated this situation, but when it did, I was too worried that I wouldn't do it.
The other party is a red dragon whose strength is almost the same as that of the Humble King Fu Tigeng, even if it is only a consciousness dormant in the girl's body at the moment, the strength should definitely not be underestimated.
Especially after experiencing the seizure of the body of Votigen, I am even more aware of the horror of the dragon species that has existed since ancient times.
However, it is still necessary to respect the idea of the girl fighting alone.
I secretly accumulated the magic power of my whole body on the side, ready to teleport to the girl's side to rescue me in case of an accident.
…………
In the field, the girl and the red dragon fought fiercely together.
The girl's already petite size gave her an advantage in past battles. And in the face of the huge red dragon, her agility was exerted to the extreme.
Moving quickly around the huge body of the red dragon, the girl deftly dodged the opponent's attacks, and at the same time used the sword in her hand to continuously leave white marks on the opponent's scales.
However, dragons are the highest-level fantasy species, and their ability to generate mana in a breath makes them easy to deal with wars of attrition. And the defense of the red dragon itself is also extremely amazing.,It seems that you don't pay attention to the girl's attack at all.,You can even use your body to hard-connect.。
…………
Ten minutes have passed, and the girl's speed has slowed down significantly, obviously this high-speed movement is very physically demanding.
On the other hand, the red dragon looked pleasant and did not show any fatigue.
"If that's the only level, it's still far from my standard."
Shaking his head in disappointment, a red glint flashed in the red dragon's eyes.
…………
"Artoria, be careful!" I hurriedly reminded loudly.
However, it was still a step too late.
Before I could finish speaking, an extremely majestic red energy was released around the red dragon's body, forming a shockwave that was visible to the naked eye.
"Hmm......"
Due to the proximity, the girl was directly knocked away by surprise, and flew upside down in mid-air for dozens of meters before she could adjust her body shape and land, avoiding directly hitting the rock wall behind her.
…………
"Damn!"
Annoyed by my own inaction, I directly teleported to the girl's side to check her physical condition.
"It's okay, I can still fight...... Shirou get out of the way, I haven't lost ...... yet! ”
Adjusting her chaotic breathing, the girl raised her sword again in the face of the red dragon in the distance.
