Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 22

Dragon Knight.

Looking at the name alone, even if it looks like a degraded version of the Dragon Knight, it is not only a mobile battery that controls the air on the battlefield and blows magic, but also uses the aura-enhanced body and the acceleration of the dragon to break the enemy formation with a ridiculously long sword. It is an advanced troop that makes a contribution.

Even the worst disadvantage of having to learn both mana and aura is compensated to some extent because it is an army.

In the first place, the army is a group formed by learning only the necessary attributes and specializing in them. Unlike an adventurer who must devote himself endlessly considering all the variables once he decides to master both, there is no need to study the magic of the flying dragon knight once it has been raised to a certain level.

After all, what is lacking will be supplemented with troops and support from the army. If you simply compare it, it’s close to achieving a little later than other aura users.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a low risk high return in the military because you can get more than double the benefit instead of being delayed a little like that.

Of course, considering the knight’s personal achievements, the waste of finite goods, the time spent on it, would be crazy and inefficient to the point of jumping up and down, so I wouldn’t even think about trying it. In fact, there is no guarantee that such an achievement can be achieved, so it can be said that it is not a bad choice. It is a world full of knights who do not feel aura for the rest of their lives.

I don’t know if I’ll be dealing with a guy like that, but there’s no way that a 14-year-old kid can have an answer with a straight attack method.

It is an extreme alternative. Give up your beliefs or risk your life.

“Eldmia-sama! I’m starting to see!”

It took several hours and I had no idea how long it had flown. Occasionally, while passing through a few dark villages and forests, I fell asleep in between to preserve my stamina, but the biggest reason was that the dragon was faster than I could have imagined.

One thing is for sure, if I had missed Gis or had no flying dragons, I would be running like crazy by now, thinking about how to enter the capital within time, how to prove my identity, how to find out Ragnis’ location, and so on, thinking about all sorts of things beyond my ability. that it would have been cursed. For that part, I had no choice but to send infinite thanks to a guy named Delt.

As I focused my attention on the direction Geese was pointing, I saw something the size of millet flying at the end of the dawn sky that was starting to brighten blue.

“Wow. I can barely see it either. Are drake pilots able to see that much?”

“It can’t be. There are only flying dragons flying alone in the sky at this height, so if you see it, it’s just that.”

I thought it was based on transcendent sight, but it was based on reasonable and reasonable reasoning.

“I can’t sleep and it’s great to maneuver, but I thought my eyes were good too. Then, raise the altitude. How high do you have to go before he notices you?”

“If you’re gliding from above, it’s actually hard to notice even if you’re approaching one floor high. It’s surprisingly hard to imagine something flying over your head in the sky.”

but. It was only natural that it would fly from a position similar to that of the clouds. Anything that flies higher or similar would be a dragon if not the same flying dragon.

“But now, since you have to kill the dragon before Delt notices, you’ll have to go higher.”

fuck. After realizing that point, I begin to realize the recklessness of what I will do in the future.

“Gyeth. It’s only been a few hours since we met, but I have the second greatest trust in you in my entire life. You know that mine and Ragnis’ lives depend on you, right?”

The plan itself is simple. If I cut off the head of the dragon and capture the bound Ragnis, Gis will take us. If I fall without being able to take a picture of the flying dragon head embarrassingly, Geese quickly comes down and accepts it, then tries again. It was Giess who confidently said that he would not make a mistake because he had done similar things a lot when exchanging items between flying dragon pilots.

“I will definitely accept it for the sake of a debt-free life.”

“Yes. The altitude is high anyway, so there is room for a fall, so I’ll do anything.”

“Eldmia-sama…you are really amazing. It will take a really long time for trained drake pilots to accept that.”

“This is what happens when you grow up eight years after you were born and the village burned down.”

In fact, it was just repeating the mental victory through the knowledge of the previous life somehow, but since there was no comparison target anyway, there was no way to prove it, so I roughly said that.

“Then I’ll go up. The opponent might be a flying dragon knight, so I won’t send a separate signal. When it’s an appropriate distance, I’ll make it flap its wings… You can start at that time.”

His face was not visible, but his tension was conveyed through his voice. How many times in your life do you have to help someone who does crazy things like this? I don’t want to do it twice, so I want to succeed in one shot.

“Isn’t it early morning?”

“Yes. We are flying towards the capital, so the sun will rise right in front of us.”

“Can I time it with the sunrise?”

“Let’s do that.”

When it comes to flying, this guy shows neither anxiety nor hesitation. Isn’t this guy actually a more capable dragon pilot than I imagined? So maybe he wanted to keep it in his hands even if he had to work on it.

Once it came into view, the distance really narrowed in an instant. While admiring Giese’s skillful flight skills, he raised his altitude and flew on top of Delt, but he didn’t notice at all.

Ragnis was tied up as if he had been wrapped in a blanket in front of him, who was flying with a cloak and dark brown hair fluttering in black shining armor. In fact, there was no way to confirm that it was really Ragnis because he was wearing the hood all the way, but the situation was like that.

And it’s something to do anyway… but the dragon’s head looks infinitely small.

“Fuck.”

I am not afraid. It may be because the situation is too unrealistic, but after assuming that I will fall, I feel like this high altitude is like an airbag for safety.

In my head, numerous shadows, Eldmia, demonstrated the optimal motion to pierce the dragon’s skull, and the dragon’s wings fluttered as it fell screaming.

“Goes.”

He was even proud of himself as he pulled out his sword and jumped down without hesitation.

The fall began with the sound of the wind hitting my ears.

Giess would be a capable pilot. If it fell like this, it was intuitively clear that it would accurately touch the dragon’s head. It’s a frighteningly accurate distance calculation.

Delt doesn’t notice the anomaly even while I’m falling precisely towards the dragon’s head, which is leveled in the sky as if it were stationary. I feel like I’ll be able to see myself in his sight around this time? It wasn’t until around the time I thought about it that a calm yet curious gaze belatedly turned to me. In fact, the expression belatedly is an expression that can be unfair from the guy’s point of view. In terms of time, it would have been less than 12 seconds.

“…?”

It was a question that could be read from the guy’s expression at that moment.

It was a face that could not understand why people were falling from above. In such a surreal situation, I couldn’t even think of figuring out who it was, and I could tell through my eyes that I was just worried about why I was falling.

“That’s right…!”

Since there was no time to calm his madly pounding heart, he kept his single-minded determination not to let go of the sword he was holding with both hands and struck down the dragon’s head.

“It’s because of gravity, you fucking bastard!!”

After passing through the resistance of the skull felt for an instant, the head of the dragon was split.

◈

I thought the dawn was coming.

It was Delt’s first time flying in this direction toward the capital, so it was more dazzling than I thought, so I frowned involuntarily, but that was about it. It is a very natural phenomenon for the moon to set and the sun to rise.

Because of that, it was a simple question that filled Delt’s head the moment his gaze overlapped with that of Eldmia.

‘Why are people falling from above my head?’

The reason why they felt that their eyes met in less than a second was probably because they were extremely nervous and embarrassed in a situation that could not even be imagined even a speck of dust.

Someone fell with an incomprehensible cry. Delt did not react even though he watched with his own eyes the blade of the sword held by an unidentified person being driven into the dragon’s head all the way to the root.

I didn’t even understand.

‘How did you not fall?’

In Delt’s eyes, unable to accept the situation, all he could see was someone who had suddenly fallen from the sky, squatting in a strange position on top of the flying dragon’s head, maintaining its balance.

It transcended common sense, transcended awareness, and transcended even understanding.

“I am!”

Because it was.

Delt did not respond until the moment Eldmia twisted her sword and ran over the dragon’s neck, which maintained its strength even for a brief moment, approaching right in front of him and swinging the sword with both hands. He had fought countless battles for his family, trained, and did dirty work, but he couldn’t react at all.

Even when he saw his two eyes that could be said to burn with the movements of a skilled auror user, and even when he saw his beautiful sword body glimmering in the light of the dawning sun, he did not even properly recognize the threat to his life.

“Go to Eldmia!”

Delt understood only after hearing a single word that answered all his questions.

‘Ah, that’s how it happened.’

That was the last thought Delt could have, who had been decapitated in a single blow.
