Cursed Thrones
Chapter 47 - Dragon Slayer

In the middle of this vast meadow, things turned 180 degrees.

Naila, who had been able to easily suppress the two holy command commanders, now kept a considerable distance.

Aeshma stood beside Nila. Full of confusion and fear.

"W-how did we get here?" aeshma asked trembling.

When he saw Greyhart's figure in the distance, he could feel something terrible from him. Something's.... Which he cannot understand.

"Cassandra's magic, I don't know how many tricks she has."

Cassandra herself looked a little exhausted after using magic just now. An original magic that can attract and throw its opponent in any direction it wants.

Even if it's in a far away place.

"Well, give me a minute" said Cassandra, who sat on the ground. He even placed his magic wand as if he had no fear of the two demons before him.

"Just calm. If it's here, I can finish it all in less than a minute." Greyhart replied.

He grasped the golden dragon scales sword with both hands.

Golden magic energy seemed to begin to envelop his entire body. With eyes so sharp, Greyhart had set his target.

'No matter who the demon is, the human girl is much more dangerous. How could a human be that strong without the blessing of the Goddess of Light?' thought Greyhart in his heart as he continued to prepare for his attack.

Despite his demonic appearance, Greyhart was convinced that Naila was human.

After a while....

"Yes!!!"

'BLAAAARR!!!'

Greyhart dashed with all his might. The stomp of his feet was even strong enough to crush all the surrounding land to tens of meters more.

In an instant, Greyhart's dragon sword had been right in front of Naila. The direction of his slash was also very accurate. It was on the mysterious girl's neck.

But unexpectedly by him....

'Braaaakkkk!! Ohhhhhai!!!'

Naila's reflexes are fast enough to provide a counterattack. Coupled with her moderately flexible and also powerful body, Naila managed to shift the direction of the sword slash with her punch.

At the same time, he immediately tilted his body to dodge.

'Is that right?!'

This was the first time for Greyhart to face an opponent this strong other than the other holy commanders.

Make suspicious.

'Are there any traitors?'

In just a split second, Naila was not only able to dodge Greyhart's deadly slash. But it also retaliates with a twisting kick right in Greyhart's chest.

'Bruuukk!! !'!sruuuggg!!!'

His body was pushed ten meters away by the kick. Where his mithril armour is also dented.

Still with a relaxed attitude, Naila looked at Greyhart as if she was underestimating him.

"Just this is how dragon hunters are capable of?" naila.

Aeshma who realized the power of Naila next to her could not believe it. Naturally, only a demon directly endowed by Hecate could possess this much power.

But now....

"You.... Who the hell are you?"

Aeshma was very confused. It shouldn't be a sideways figure and this small could have such great power. Moreover, there was not the slightest body part of Hecate that he used.

"Just a waiter." replied Naila briefly.

"The waiter you said? Who are you serving?" greyhart asked as he got back up. Both of his eyes looked at Naila's right hand which he used to hit her dragon sword.

'No petrifying? How could he resist the curse of Fafnir's scales?'

Before Naila could answer, the sky above Naila seemed to be split in pitch black. Several lightning strikes can be seen.

"Thank you, sir." Naila said to herself after seeing the small crack in the sky.

Not long after, a spear shot out from that crack in the sky. Stuck on the ground right in front of Naila.

Little by little, the green grass turned black and began to wither. Death and ground damage spread slowly with the center of the spear.

Greyhart who saw it grew even more confused as Naila began to grasp the spear.

"You.... Are you really human?"

The question was of course due to Naila's arm that started to break and hurt while holding it.

Little by little it starts to darken with flaking skin. Shows the muscle and meat behind it.

"I'm just a waiter."

'BLAAAARR!!!'

The two face each other again. Now with their own weapons.

'Oh!!!'

Each slash of Naila's spear caused a shockwave that ravaged the surrounding land. Including Greyhart's body that was hit by the spear.

On the other hand, Greyhart's dragon-scaled sword slash also continued to injure Naila's body. Turning a part of his body that was hit by the slash into stone.

Aeshma who was behind decided to target the witch who was still recuperating. Cassandra.

'Swuushh!!!'

Flapping her wings with all her might, Aeshma darted rapidly towards Cassandra.

'Zraaasshhh! Kreetta!!'k!!!'

Once again, her sharp claws attempted to tear the body of the female witch. But a powerful shield stopped him halfway through.

'Blaaarr! Ohhhhhai!!!'

With punches and kicks in tandem, Cassandra's magic shield began to crack.

Greyhart no longer had any other choice in the middle of this situation.

"Goddess Light.... I'm sorry." Greyhart said briefly before jumping back quite a distance.

Instantly, Greyhart's eyes changed completely. His eyeballs turned yellowish with sharp irises, like a dragon.

'What is he doing?!' naila thought surprised.

I never heard of information like this. A fact that the dragon hunter, actually brought some of the dragon power itself on him.

With just that brief change, Greyhart's movements changed completely.

'Swuusshh! Sraassh! Sooooooo!!'

His movements became much faster and also did not make the slightest mistake.

In the blink of an eye, Greyhart managed to cut off both Aeshma's hands and feet. And before he could slash his wings, Naila had arrived to help him.

'Klaaanggg! Blaaarr!!!'

The clash between the black spear and Greyhart's dragon sword caused a shockwave that blew everything tens of meters away.

Including Aeshma and Cassandra.

With such a swift movement, Naila gave a counterattack. A spear thrust was directed right at Greyhart's heart.

"Kugghhhh!!!"

Greyhart was a little late in avoiding him. But Naila's spear hit only her right chest. With a powerful bang at the end of his spear that damaged the ground in a straight line for tens of meters.

'Sraaasshhh!!!'

Not wanting to just stay still, Greyhart also retorted by slashing his sword right into Naila's chest vertically.

Injuring and also turning part of Naila's body into a hard stone. But either lucky or unlucky, Naila was able to avoid it a little. Save him from death.

"Aarrggh! Goddamnit! Fucking man!!!" aeshma shouted in pain with blood continuously pouring from all over her body.

'Sreeee!!! Ohhhhhai!!!'

Suddenly, a magic chain with a bluish color appeared from underground. Binding Aeshma's body that had been powerless.

Naila who saw him immediately understood what he needed to do.

He leapt back and pulled his spear right into the heart of Aeshma before pulling it back.

'Jleeebb! Araaassh!!'

"Gaagh!!!"

'Killing his own partner?! Don't say....'

Cassandra was able to realize it. The goal of the human-like demon is to save Aeshma's soul from destruction.

It would be better to kill and release his soul, compared to letting it be annihilated with holy magic.

With a blackish heart stuck in Naila's spearhead, he immediately jumped back. Stay away from those two commanders.

"You think you can run? Cassandra, if I destroy this place, please help me explain it to the Emperor." said Greyhart, who started putting up his horses.

He grasped the dragon sword with both hands. Gathering enormous magic energy on his sword.

The golden light seemed to start to be attracted and sucked towards the golden dragon scales sword.

Little by little, the surrounding plants and small animals began to wither and die as their energies were attracted by the sword.

Simultaneously, the same chains as before appeared from underground. Tied Naila's body completely and made her completely immobile.

'That fucking witch. Then, this is the ultimate attack of the dragon hunter who is said to be able to destroy anything? Can I survive?'' naila in her heart.

Never once had Naila seen such a large amount of magic energy in her life.

'Not even Mr. Aldebaran has ever controlled this much magic.... Haha....'

Preparing to accept the end of her life, Naila could only close her eyes.

He has never regretted a single choice of his life until now. If there was anything he expected in the midst of this despair....

'Mr. Aldebaran.... I pray for your success to usurp the throne, as the true demon king.'

Suddenly....

'Klaaanggg!!! Fr!'uugg!!!'

Ancient rune letters appeared around Naila's body. Surrounding him and also starting to wrap his entire body. Simultaneously, a magic circle with an intricate formation appeared right where Naila was.

"A-what's.... Greyharts! Quickly kill him!!" cassandra shouted after noticing the magic formation.

"Yeahattt!!!"

With full force, Greyhart swung his sword horizontally.

It causes shock waves of light that are very strong up to hundreds of meters away. The width of the light shock wave reached tens of meters more.

Anything that came right in front of Greyhart was already assured to be completely destroyed by magic power and extremely high temperatures. Burn everything that goes through it.

This field has also turned into hell. With the ground burned until it was bright red.

The ground was eroded to a depth of several meters more. Leaving nothing behind after being passed by that shockwave.

"W-have you succeeded?" ask Cassandra.

"Someone, but he should be dead. Why?" greyhart replied while looking at the sea of fiery land.

"At any moment.... I saw his body entangled by teleportation magic, similar to the one I had."

Greyhart immediately narrowed both of his eyes. Can't believe what he just heard.

"Huh? You kidding? Isn't that your own magic? No one should be able to use it but you, right? You sure you didn't see it wrong?" ask Greyhart back.

"I-I don't know.... I really don't know...."

In the end, this battle left the two holy command commanders in confusion. I don't know if they've been able to hunt down the demon or not.

Also, they had not managed to find the source of the previously felt ancient magic.

......***......

...Mapleford city...

'Bruuukk!! Braaakk! Ohhhhai!!'

The body of a girl fell right inside this inn. With many wounds and blood splattered in all directions.

"Uughh.... It's.." Naila said in confusion. He thought he was going to die by Greyhart's slash. But somehow, he still survived with just enough injuries all over his body.

The footsteps of a man slowly approached.

As Naila lifted her face, she saw the figure of a man with such a beautiful appearance. His noble-style clothes were still neatly arranged.

"I'm sorry, Naila. I'm a little late. You all right? I didn't think that magic was so complicated." replied the man who was none other than Aldebaran.

"The magic? Signore.... Did you just...."

"The damn magician added ancient rune letters as well as his own made letters to complicate his magic, making it almost impossible to understand."

"Well.... As expected of my master. Able to replicate Cassandra's magic that fast." replied Naila who had understood what just happened.

"No, I've obviously started to slow down. We have to speed up this plan before I die of age."

While replying to Naila's words, Aldebaran began to heal his servant's body with his magic.

Seen clearly in the look in his eyes, Aldebaran really cares for Naila. Even beyond his concern for one of Hecate's followers, Aeshma.

Aldebaran did not ask about the fate of Aeshma at all. Only concerned with the safety of his servant named Naila.

"Hahaha, my lord sometimes likes to joke around. Isn't this year my Master will only enter the age of 26?"

"49 days to go. Hah, the human body is really weak."

"Ah, right too. Sir, I killed Aeshma to save her. The Dragon Hunter named Greyhart was much stronger than the rumors." Naila retorted.

"Is that so? Then, next time we should be more careful."

Slowly, Naila's body began to return to her human form. But now.... Become a woman with beautiful waving blonde hair.

"Understand me, my lord."

Naila now looks like a noble who is so charming.

"Stop that. This time, it was my turn to be your servant." replied Aldebaran who also changed his appearance. Now an old man with graying hair.

With that new look, the two started a new page in their plan.

Now....

With the new magic he obtained from Cassandra. It allows both to move around very easily.

Making them both, as the greatest threat to mankind that is never even known to exist by anyone.
