The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon

Chapter 110 - The treasured proof of our friendship

The force of the acceleration was heavier than I had expected it to be.

It was probably because Rēko had used magic to support other areas of my body and not only the wings when we were flying.

If I flew by myself, and even if I flew at a slower speed, the force I felt was double than when I flew with Rēko.

「In that case, I can only aim for the nearest exit…!」

I won’t be able to continue this for long. It is best to decide the match in the shortest time possible.

I clenched my teeth in order to not lose consciousness and we flew up towards the fissure in the sky.

「Like I would let you! Don’t think you can just run away after playing around with me!!」

The golem, like swatting at a fly, tried to squish me with both its hands.

It’s getting dangerous, I need to take evasive maneuvers for now— No, it won’t work. Whether I tried to turn sideways or turn around, they would lower my speed by too much. If I’m aimed at during that moment, it’ll all be over.

Also, I didn’t have the stamina to accelerate and decelerate as I like.

「Miss Spirit, if I lose consciousness, then just continue flying like this.」

「Affirmative.」

Leaving the flight path to the spirit, I stopped bothering to think if I would lose consciousness or not and just put my all into flapping my wings.

The golem’s hands smacked together where I had already flown past since it hadn’t expected a sudden acceleration and we heard a roar of thunder from behind as its palms slammed together.

But, getting past the golems attack, what awaited before us was despair.

As my consciousness was becoming faint, I saw the sky filled with Sousou’s magic threads forming a net in the sky.

「I won’t let you out… I won’t let you escape… Absolutely… Forever together…」

With eyes glaring red, it was Sousou.

Waving its hand like a commander, the magic net closed in on us from all sides at a high speed.

「Leave this to me!」

Unexpectedly, Raiotto was fine even with the sudden accelerations.

While riding on my back, he swung the cursed sword toward the net to create a hole using its flying slashes.

However, the opponent is a Demon King Commander.

Despite the attack hitting the net, not a single thread was cut through.

「Sh*t! What’s with, that doll, it’s damn strong!」

「Not yet! One more time!」

If we’re wrapped up in that net, it’ll be the end of us. No, it seems like Sousou released sharp slashes with her threads so if we touch those, we’ll be cut into pieces.

The opponent, from the very start, didn’t think about capturing us with all our limbs intact.

Just when Raiotto was getting ready to release his final attack in a last ditch effort—

The whole barrier started to shake.

Like before when the fissures appeared in the sky, it was an impact from the outside.

—It’s Rēko.

In order to back us up, she’s supporting us from outside.

Sousou’s red eyes started flashing and redirected most of its magic power to reinforce the defense set up outside. The light from the magic threads could be seen to have become much thinner than before.

「Uooohhh!」

Raiotto released his second attack.

Due to Rēko’s interference, the net had been weakened and the attack could finally cut through and create an exit for us.

「Uuu…Sh*t… Wait! Wait!! Revendia!!」

From the shout we heard, it also contained some grief.

Sousou, who had her powers lowered due to Rēkos interference, wavered by just a tiny bit but that created just enough time for us to escape.

「I’m sorry Sousou. I need to go but-」

The fissure was just in front of my eyes.

As I charged through, Raiotto swung his sword down at the same time and the fissure cracked apart, revealing the exit.

「Maybe you could cook me some meals in the outside world. I don’t have any other intentions, just that the meals you made were delicious.」

Our bodies were sucked into the exit hole.

We left the fake capital covered by darkness and the crimson moon and welcomed the bright sunny outside world.

「So that’s why when that time comes, we can become normal friends. Of course being locked up is out of the question. Also ripping off arms and legs.」

I rested my gaze on Sousou while I laughed and spoke as we were leaving.

This demon has the same atmosphere as Rēko. Though it was acting evil, at its roots, it wasn’t such an evil existence.

It just acted like the subordinate of the Demon King since it was accepted into the Demon King Army and felt happy.

If that’s not the case, it wouldn’t have thought about other people for the reason for cooking. If we prepared an opportunity, then we could definitely understand each other.

「Revendia…」

In the barrier, Sousou with its arm raised up toward the void where we left muttered my name.

Then, as if it had given up, it’s voice toned back down.

「I see, so you’re leaving. Uhh…I knew it. That someone known as the strongest Evil Dragon wouldn’t stay at my place forever… I knew that there would be a day where we would part ways.」

It was as if Sousou lost the will to fight on, the barrier slowly started to crumble.

The hollow buildings, the golem and the countless mannequins.

「That’s why, Revendia. Will you accept my final gift…? I have a specially prepared one ready…」

「Hnn? What’s that? If you’re giving me something, then I welcome it with open arms.」

My body was almost fully sucked into the exit hole and the only remaining part left inside was the tip of my head. (Raiotto was fully sucked in.)

With this timing, I didn’t think I could receive anything but at least I could receive the feelings.

Because we’re friends.

「To match the timing of your exit, I’ll explode my real body on the outside. Even if you’re the Evil Dragon, you won’t leave inscathed. So when you look at those scars in the future, you will think of me…」

My body was sucked into the real world with a *pon*.
