381. Dragon Hunter Volk

The large body of the Crystal Dragon sways.

The glow of the emerald crystals on its body deepen under its cracks, and the crystals on its legs break apart, while its crystal wings shatter and fall to the ground.

A tall man in front of the dragon raises his large sword up in triumph.

The crystal dragons neck sways out of balance and falls in front of the tall man.

This human has just defeated a dragon.

I dont sense or see any other humans around. He beat a dragon all by himself.

Im scratching my head over here.

So far, the only humans Ive met that I consider one of the strongest were Adofu, the former Leader of the Knights in Haranae, and one of Tallmanns subordinate, Azalea, but their status only compare to rank Red Ants at most.

To be able to take down a rankmonster, youd have to be a Hero or a Saint, or at least have a sacred skill or something.

Who the hell is this guy?

If each side is supposed to have a sacred skill, two for the humans, and two for the monsters, then theres me, Lilyxila, the Demon King, and the Beast King, meaning everythings already accounted for.

That Crystal Dragon should be fairly strong, but since its covered in hard crystals, it must not have a high speed.

Im sure that with the right skills and the right combinations, anyone can beat it.

I mean, theres no way a human would have monster-like stats without having a sacred skill, right?

Theres just no way.

I stand corrected.

You sure this guy isnt a monster in disguise?

Are these stats even human?

He may as well transfer species.

Those stats are high enough to fight against the Giant Centipede and even the Mother Abyss and still have enough energy to spare.

And, what kind of human even learnsSelf-Regeneration?

Hes like a low-leveled Adam or something.

He may not be at Lilyxilas level yet, but he sure as hell can take down the blonde Hero with those crazy stats of his.

I turn my attention to the big sword that Volk is holding.

Moon-Piercing Swing Leral: Value

Attack: +101

A fortune teller from a small country once foretold a prophesy: A terrible disaster shall fall from the moon, this kingdom will perish, and the king will be killed by his own people.

For the sake of destroying the moon to prevent the disaster, the king called upon the best swordsman and the best mage of the land and gave each of them a sword and a staff. Use these to destroy the moon, the king said.

ThisMoon-Piercing Swing Leralis one of the weapons made by the king; the sword that was given to the best swordsman of that era.

However, since the king increased the taxes of the people and used that money just to create the sword and the staff, the angered people went against their king and executed him.

So the weapon is bad news, and the wielder is even more bad news.

I request a value change of the holy sword that Partner ate before please.

Volk, after noticing me, holds his greatsword Leral tight and enters a fighting stance.

His face shows a fearless look, ready for battle.

He looks like hes in his late twenties or early thirties.

Volks golden eyes look straight at me, then he makes an excited smile.

To be honest, this dragon wasnt really much of a challenge but I certainly didnt expect Id find the mythical two-headed dragon, Ouroboros, in a place like this! Ive only heard stories, but your appearance matches exactly as Nivahs epic poem described!

Volk swings his large sword in the air, creating a small wind force.

As a swordsman, I couldnt have asked for a more worthy opponent! Now, let us do battle!

Volk speaks enthusiastically despite releasing spit in his speech.

And here I was thinking that I didnt need to fight, but after seeing his personality, I see how stupid that thought is now.

Hes the type of person who gets riled up over a fight.

Damn it! Why is this monster of a human even in a place like this anyway?!

Did he really come here just to fight the Crystal Dragon?

I feel like Im missing something.

He mustve come here for some other reason Ah!

The kingdom of Ardezia is currently suffering a wide spread of disease. The kingship has been transferred to the princess, but even she has begun to act strangely as of late. She would often invite well-renowned swordsmen and mages throughout the land only for them to be missing the next day

Lilyxilas words come to mind.

Thats right.

The Demon King is calling many strong fighters from across the land to turn them into experience points.

Theres a high chance that Volk came here because he was invited too.

Killing Volk, whose status is higher than a Rankmonster, will certainly give anyone a huge level up.

Maybe Volk knows something about the Demon Kings plan perhaps?

I could beat him and ask him what he knows.

If all goes well, we could even ask Volks help to sneak into the castle grounds.

But still, from the looks of it, it doesnt seem like we can resolve anything without a fight.

The look in Volks eyes is showing excitement for this battle.

Those stats of his will make this fight difficult for me to beat him without killing him, much less incapacitating him
