Chapter 308: When the Dragonborn Returns
"Halfina!"
Seeing her completely consumed by the flames, Irelis had no means to save her except shouting.
But at least...... The dragon had been badly wounded by her, and it would have been easy to kill the dragon in the future.
"Come with me! Kill that dragon! ”
“… Songard..."
Muttering at the flames in front of her, Halfena closed her eyes.
To say the least, the Nords who killed dragons as mortals...
"Don't be so depressed, sister."
“!!!!!”
An almost transparent cover barely protected both Halfina and Ellie's bodies, and Elly's expression was a little distorted, after all, as Yumeko said, her magic power could not be used so wastefully.
But it's embarrassing that she will only use this means of defense, and if she can choose another way, then she will definitely use other methods.
"Ellie?! Why do you ......?"
"Now is not the time to say that, Halfina.
Heal your own wounds first, the dragon needs your final blow. ”
Feeling the power and weakness of the flames, Elle immediately urged the other party to move, and although Halfina was still a little stunned, her body movements did not stop, and she immediately took out the potion and poured it down.
“… Wo Los HI?
Los HI Ann Jul? ”
The dragon slowly closed its mouth, but through its only remaining eye, it saw a strange human appear in the orbit of the flames.
Who is she? Where did she come from? And...... Confronting a human who is resisting the onslaught of fire?
“Ya?
Arflo’neil’
lia’fne Cthulhunyth
…… Still, I don't think you understand. ”
She stood up on her feet, but Erri didn't have a weapon in her hands, and she didn't think she could use the Jingyue Knife against the dragon.
Millmenier ...... Is it?
And... Your fight with a Nord woman, I'm not going to bother. ”
“…… The warrior? ”
After hearing her say this, the dragon noticed that the woman was no longer behind Erlie.
"Is it..."
Immediately sensing that something was wrong, it flapped its wings to keep itself out of the range of the two men's attacks.
But, it's too late.
"Die, ahh——!!!hh
Completely bursting out all the remaining strength in the recovered body, Halfina aimed at the other eye and stabbed it fiercely.
“————!!!”
With a flick of the moment, she threw Halfina out, and after she smashed on a stone, she never moved again.
But the dragon didn't seem to care.
“Dovahkiin?!”
Mirmenil cried out in despair, not because of his own death, but because he felt the loss of his soul.
With a soul, it can be resurrected, and without a soul, even if you go back in time, it can't come back again!
With a human body, the identity of wiping out one's soul can only be that existence!
“Dov——Jul——!!!”
The unwilling roar roared away the last of its strength, and the dragon's body completely lost its strength, and he fell to the ground without any strength to support him.
The dust had buried the figures, and Ellie herself had run to Halfina's side, not saying much but reciting her own recovery spell.
Compared to potions, the recovery speed is much slower, but it can ensure that it can be repaired from the inside out.
"Erlie...... What the hell are you..."
"Shh~~~
Don't reveal who I am, Halfina.
Wait a minute, you can just say that I ran out on my own. ”
"Then you ......!"
"I'll tell you later, but for now, stay in peace.
Sister ~ Sister ~ "
Looking at the child's face, it didn't seem like there was any malice, so Halfena herself kept her mouth shut and honestly accepted the healing.
"Guard, go make sure the big lizard is dead."
As a result, when the people from Bai Mancheng came, they saw a giant dragon that had fallen to the ground, without the slightest movement, and it looked like it was dead.
However, these things don't necessarily have to be understood according to human thoughts, what if it's fake animation or something?
"I'll come."
One of the guards approached the other with a weapon, poking at one side and moving quickly on the other, for fear that the other might suddenly get up and devour him.
However, there was really no movement.
"Captain, it should be ......"
"What's that?"
Suddenly, the dragon's scales were like flaming pieces of paper, peeling away from the dragon's bones with the wind, as if it had no muscles at all, but was made entirely of golden things.
But when she looked closely, she saw that it seemed to be some kind of text structure, which did not look very recognizable, and gave her the impression that only a sharp blade could carve words.
"Wait, everybody's back!"
The burning skin, peeled off from the keel, but there was also an unknown force, from between the keels, spilling out towards the world.
Between the threads, the colorful rays of light twisted together like silk, but they did not intend to converge, but instead, they rotated in the center and came out of the sky, attacking one of the people present.
“………”
The thing pierced through Ellie's body directly, not causing the slightest damage, but simply skipped away.
But the power within, an ancient and powerful power, and it seems, is the soul of something? So, there's something that sucks the soul out of it?
"It's... What's wrong? ”
And the destination of the soul is Halfina's body, and the light wraps around her body, and at the same time seeps into her body little by little. The dragon's soul, which glowed her body into gold, seemed to reveal her extraordinary identity.
And Mirmenir's body has become a clean bone dragon, the last glimmer of light peeled off the bones, and finally, completely dull, back to the primitive.
And Halfina's body, wrapped the last trace of soul in its body, digested those things, and finally, along with the light on its body, swallowed it up.
"It seems that your identity is not as simple as mine.
I also have a lot of questions I want to ask you, sister~sister~
But, we agreed, didn't we? ”
As she spoke, Ellie herself shrank behind her, and the expression of the little devil immediately changed to the same as when she saw her in Helgen, trembling with fear and cowardice.
Before the stunned Halfina could react, the rest of the group scrambled over, but stopped as they approached her.
"I can't believe it! …… You are...... Dragonborn"
"Dragon... Dragonborn, what do you mean? ”
Helfina, who didn't understand the current situation at all, asked the person in front of her in a daze.
"In ancient legends, dragons still lived in the sky, and the Dragonborn were the ones who could kill dragons and take their power.
That's what you do, isn't it? Absorb the power of dragons? ”
Looking at her hands and body, she didn't feel anything different, but she had no choice but to say to the group of guards with strange expressions.
"You're probably right..."
"According to legend, only Dragonborn can be born with a dragon roar...... Just like a real dragon..."
But before he could finish explaining, he was suddenly interrupted by one of the guards, and they immediately began to argue about the authenticity of the Dragonborn.
However, Irelis walked straight to Halfina's side and helped her up, while looking at Erlie on the side and whispering.
"You're doing a good job, Halfina, at least we'll be able to kill a dragon.
But tell me, how did that little girl come out? ”
It's a little strange that a little girl hasn't been affected by this kind of fighting.
Halfena gave a subtle look at the trembling Erlie, then pondered for a moment and said uncertainly.
“…… She came out with us.
It seems to have been hidden from the guards. ”
“… Then the kid probably has a talent for thieves.
…… Forget it, take her back before Lord Barguf finds out, and report to the lord about our situation here by the way.
I'm going to deal with and clean up the battlefield with the guards here.
That's right. ”
When it was over, she added.
"This dragon counts as your trophy, so I'll put it in the tower for the time being.
I'll dispose of it in three days. ”
However, while a few people were arguing, Erlie had already taken some of the dragon's teeth and used them to study the fantasy creatures of this world.
