I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 83: Kerberos and Victory (Luna )

Duarr

"Luckily it's just a small one, so it's easy to handle."

By combining fire magic on my sword slash I was able to create an explosion large enough to kill several monsters at once, although they have a colony that is quite a lot of monsters this one is also fairly weak so they are easily defeated, he said, this kind of monster has several types and one of the weakest is in front of us.

They do look terrible and strong, but that's just what they look like outside, in this one monster colony there's only one strong and that's their alpha, that's their, black dogs are not much different from the one wolf that leads the rest of the run, there are two unsettling and terrifying alphas inside a colony of monsters like this, but even if their colony is in large numbers while 27 is a less good number for them which means there may not be a strong alpha.

Shhhh!

The sound of the dog's howling echoed around me, but slowly the voices were no longer heard, the slash after slash I fired at every monster that wanted to pounce on me until those in front of me desperately wanted to escape, but surely it would not be as easy as when they attacked.

"That's the last one..."

"... but, there's something strange that even if it's just a small colony there's supposed to be an alpha to rule it."

The clattering sound of the sword vibrating every time my sword and the monster fangs cross paths, the torn flesh and blood spilling out from the monsters' bodies without being able to run away from me, the source said, while shaking my sword full of monster blood I had killed all the monsters that were before me, but even so the lingering feeling came to my mind made my heart and feelings become uneasy.

"Kie did you meet the leader of the monster?"

"Nothing, what about you?" he said while asking.

"I don't either, I feel like there's something odd about this monster's movements."

"Me too/"

DUARR!!!

"What's that?" kie said in a panic.

"Come!!"

In an unsettled mind I went over to Kie who had also finished taking out his part of the monsters, with a hint of worry I asked about the existence of the alpha monster to Kie, who was also done with it, but unfortunately he also did not see any alpha in the group of monsters he killed.

When we were thinking about the awkwardness there was suddenly a fairly large explosive sound coming from the direction of the merchant caravan that made us both shocked and started to feel panic, in the midst of the panic I immediately pulled Kie's hand to invite her to see what was going on there.

***

"W-what's going on in this?" kie stared at the black smoke flying.

"Lia, Rin!!" I said run in panic.

As we headed out to the forest outskirts where the caravan trains lined up we first saw was a blaze of flames along with pitch-black smoke blocking the eye view, slowly I faintly saw the transparent shield emerging from behind that puff of smoke, and even more shocking is that weakly lying Lia and Rin are inside with Emma suffering from burns on her left hand while using her magic to protect them and the merchants with that protector.

"Lia! Lia!! Rin!" I said in panic while holding Lia's face while occasionally staring at Rin.

"I'm sorry Lia hiks..."

"Calm down Luna ekhh!! m-they're okay."

"Emma you're hurt!"

"N-no need to worry."

Without caring about my surroundings I went straight to them shouting and patting the still weak Lia and Rin on the ground, I hugged Lia tightly while crying over her for not being able to protect and being a good sister to her.

"Will no one worry about me?" rhom came down from the tree.

"It's not the time to joke...!" kie said with annoyance at him

"Good good/"

"... What's really going on here?" ask Kie.

"When you go after monsters, there are many other black dog monsters running around appearing from the opposite direction, but when we were facing them all of a sudden we were hit by a lot of fireballs.and luckily I still had time to put up a shield to protect the merchants, but Lia and Rin were hit by an explosion from the attack..." emma answered while holding her hand.

With alarmed feelings at the state of Lia and Rin, from the top of the Rhom tree came down before us with an inopportune joke, Emma then explains everything that happened here about the series of fireball attacks that hit them all of a sudden and because of that attack they were all injured.

"Fireball? who did that?" ask him to be upset.

"You can ask that to the big monster over there." Rhom answered while pointing behind him.

OH GROAAHHH!!

"K-berberus! how come?"

"It looks like they're fighting for power, and we're just the victims who accidentally got into their battle." Rhom looked solemnly at the kerberos chewing on the black dog.

From behind the blaze a three-headed dog monster appeared carrying the head of another black dog monster in its jaw, yes exactly as Rhom said they were two black dog groups fighting for power, which is why the first group had such a small amount because they had already lost the fight.

My heart skipped a beat with a very unpleasant feeling seeing a huge creepy monster right in front of us staring intently with its frightening red eyes and drool dripping through the sidelines of the fangs a sharp look in front of my eyes.

OH GROAAHHH!!

"There's no time to think, protect the merchants I'll take care of that horde of monsters!" rhom said as he walked towards the monsters.

"I'll help you." Kie followed him from behind.

***

"Emma treat yourself first/"

"Where do you want to go, Luna?"

"I'll make a calculation with the big one."

"But you/"

"Just destroy yourself, then please treat them."

I promised to protect him. I'd avenge that monster.

From within the puff of black smoke slowly sprung up one by one the black dog monsters that were walking towards us, seeing that Rhom immediately pulled back his two daggers and walked towards the monsters were helped by Kie who also followed him to block the steps of the monsters from approaching the traders.

Not wanting to stay still I then stood up while holding my sword staring towards the kerberos that had injured Lia with its fireball, angrily I clasped tightly onto the handle of my sword walking towards the kerberos that was in the middle of his horde.

The fastest way to repel hordes of monsters is to defeat their alpha.

...✧❁❁✧✿( Kie )✿✧❁❁...

"If you're afraid you better not force yourself to fight Kie they're stronger than before."

"Don't underestimate me, I can kill far more monsters than you."

Duarrr

"Number does not guarantee strength and courage, if there is fear in your little heart you should never do a fight, just a little doubt in you will make you regret for life."

Shhhh!!

"What do you mean?" I said while avoiding the monster's claw.

While continuing to dodge and reply to Rhom's monster attacks invited me to speak, but unfortunately I could not understand what he told me, I was still too busy with all the monsters that were before me.

"Did you ever think this job would kill us someday?"

DUARR!!

"Just stop that crap, we need to focus on the monster before us." I said by continuing to avoid explosions from monster attacks.

.

.

"They are not inexhaustible."

The sound of monster growls and battle explosions was more dominant in my ears than the sound of Rhom talking to me, my sword rinses and even my clothes were filled with patches of monster blood that kept coming incessantly, every time I shake my sword there are always other monsters who take turns attacking me as well as Rhom, but unfortunately he is just relaxed and boring as usual as if not feeling desperate at all.

DUARR!!!

"Luna what is he doing? don't-don't...!! LUNA STOP IT!!!"

"He didn't hear me!"

"Just go, let me take care of this saliva monster." Rhom told me.

"All right! I leave the rest to you!"

While I was busy dealing with the monster before me, suddenly there was a big explosive sound accompanied by a series of large fireball attacks that fell in succession with large numbers, and there was a huge explosion, and inside the explosion Luna walked over while continuously slashing at some monsters that were approaching her, he looks angry while soaking his face with tears falling from his chin maybe he was like that because of Lia who was injured and unconscious.

And from her movements Luna seemed like she was intending to face kerberos herself and it was clearly a dangerous act, I was trying to stop her by shouting out to her and unfortunately she could not hear me because of all those explosions, she said, I then went running towards him to help him and handed the rest of the monsters before me to Rhom.

***

"Luna/"

Gerrr!!

"Curtain! get the fuckin' monsters out of the way!"

"Luna! that's dangerous!!"

Oh, groaahhh!!

"Damn!"

Shhtt!!!

When I wanted to get close to Luna, I was suddenly confronted by some black dog monster, since I didn't have much time I then used earth magic to create some pointy ground and levitate it towards those monsters in order to kill them quickly rather than having to use a sword to slash through they are one by one.

"Luna calm down, she's very dangerous."

"I know it's Kie, but I'm not gonna let him hurt people anymore." His words were serious while staring towards kerberos.

"Huhh... You won't change your decision, will you? how else then let me help."

After killing the monsters that blocked my path I was finally able to stop Luna from getting close, but even so Luna was a difficult person to withdraw her decision and with a little resorted I had to accompany her to fight kerberos although it would be a little difficult.

"We're starting?" I asked with a little smile.

"As usual let's finish quickly." The answer smiled back.

***

Shhhh!!

After deciding to fight with me and Kie then started our fight with the kerberos dog monster starting with the attack of some pointy ground from Kie, the, but the attack could be dodged easily without being scratched in the slightest.

"My turn!"

Shhhh!!

OH GROAAHHH!!

"Curtain! failed!"

Because the first attack failed I then jumped towards the kerberos and prepared to slash one of its heads, but he suddenly roared and pushed me with that loud roar to the point that I bounced back to where I was standing before.

GERR!!

"Great!"

With his furious gaze kerberos let out flames from his mouth preparing to carry out his fire attack and quickly several bursts of fireballs came over us making many explosions around the two of us, he said, not only did it remain silent to receive the attack, Kie and I slashed and split some of the fireballs, smashing them into pieces, but of course it was not enough because there were more fireballs coming towards us, leaving us trapped in the embers.

Wuss

"You guys okay?" ask Rhom to us.

"Yes thank you." My solute.

Inside the thick smoke and the heat of the Rhom fire embers came by splitting and removing all the hot smoke using his wind magic.

"What about those monsters... uh!" kie was surprised to stop his sentence.

"As you can see."

"Baaiiklaaah.." _____ said Kie while turning his face back.

Seeming to ask Rhom Kie then stopped his speech after staring at the monsters that had been sprawled immobile, Rhom had already finished them all off before he came to help us deal with kerberos, but his face still looked dull without the slightest expression of panic.

GROAAHH

"Dodge!!" I shouted at them.

"Yeah!!"

DUARR

Kie almost got a scratch from the kerberos while talking to Rhom and luckily I warned them both about the attack, the two of them then jumped as fast as possible to avoid it and unfortunately instead I was the one who was less quick to avoid it .

I was scratched by a kerberosene claw on my left shoulder to the point that I was thrown far enough into a tree trunk, I could feel the pain of the torn wound on my shoulder and even I saw my blood flowing down my shoulder and left arm.

"I-I'm fine, what about you guys?"

"Just calm down." Sahut Rhom's.

"S-we'd better beat him fast, or we'll beat him." I said seriously.

"What about your wound, luu?" ask Kie.

"N-no problem, I can still handle this."

"Alright I'll distract him you attack him, but make sure your attack can kill him." Rhom proposed his plan.

"Good." Our consent at the same time.

After he finished proposing his plan Rhom immediately went around Kerberos turning his gaze in accordance with the original plan he proposed, because kerberos had three heads diverting it would be a little more difficult, would be, but even so they will also have difficulty moving because they have three different thoughts and that is what makes us have a gap to attack them.

One body will not be able to move following the will of three different thinking heads, kerberos would be very hard-pressed to choose to attack me and Kie or attack Rhom and maybe even one of his heads thought about staying defensive without attacking.

OHHHHH!!!

Rhom continued to surround the kerberos and dodged every attack from it even Rhom managed to launch some precise attacks on the kerberos body to the point that the huge monster roared in pain.

"This is our chance."

"I understand." Legally.

With my condition severely injured once again me and Kie steadied our determination and courage to defeat the kerberos, we immediately attacked him with all our might using our respective magic, I used wind magic to make him enter into the whirlpool of wind blades slashing and blocking his view so that he could not dodge the subsequent attacks.

Shhtt

OH GROAAHHH!!

Meanwhile Kie used his earth magic to form some large enough spiky pieces of earth then threw them towards the kerberos that was trapped inside the whirlpool of my wind blade, in there the kerberos roared loudly while thrashing trying to get out of my wind vortex, but of course it was a useless thing because he was squeezed and pierced by Kie's earth magic.

"I'll help you finish it." Rhom said while enveloping the whirlwind with fire magic.

...✧❁❁✧✿( Kie )✿✧❁❁...

"Godhh!!"

"Luna!! wound area! it's not a don't-don't/"

"We better treat Luna quickly, the poison has started to spread." Rhom looked up and raised Luna's body.

"Yes I agree." My solute.

After burning kerberos in the blaze and incision of the whirlwind knife Luna fell down and whimpered by holding a wound on her left shoulder withstanding the pain from the scratch from the previous kerberos, which was not the case, it is very clear that the skin around the area of the wound began to turn purplish red like a bruise from a blow.

And obviously it was not an ordinary wound, yes it was a kerberos poison not only had a strong attack, but also a poison that could paralyze and even kill his opponent if exposed to the poison, not wanting to waste our precious time Rhom directly lifted the body of Luna who was still covered in blood leaving the kerberos that was burned to death in the flames leading to the place of Emma and the merchants.

...*****...

"Sister!! Kie what happened to sister Luna?!" ask Lia to me.

"Luna got kerberosene poison, Emma can you treat her?" rhom answered while laying down Luna's body and asked Emma.

"Of course, kerberosene poison is hard to cure, but I'll try."

Lia who was conscious immediately approached us with tears that began to pool in her eyes saw Luna who was whimpering in pain, Rhom then laid Luna's body near a tree and asked Emma to treat her.

Hearing Rhom's words about Luna's state Emma looked at him with a gaze that seemed to say that he could not treat her, because indeed kerberos poison would not be easy to cure, he said, but Emma quickly changed her words after seeing Lia who was saddened by Luna's circumstances.

"I'll try, wait a minute." Said Emma slowly sitting beside Luna.

"Akh!!!"

"Luna.." I said slowly looking at Luna.

Emma instantly used her healing magic while taking out the water from inside the small bottle and controlling the water made the water float in the air forming a small fireball, which was the result, before he finally used it to cover the wound on Luna's shoulder, after the water touched her wound Luna screamed in pain and slowly the water began to turn purple.

Emma kept making water balls and repeating the healing process over and over again until the water no longer had any color when it touched Luna's wound, and slowly Luna's agonized face began to disappear and became a little calmer.

"Sister don't leave me sister hiks/"

Nah!

"Ouch! sis!"

"Sister isn't dead yet Lia, don't talk like that, but yahh." Said Luna while touching Lia's forehead.

"You're lucky the poison hasn't spread all over Luna's body, so I can still stop the movement of the poison and get it out, but even so it will still take some time for you to make a full recovery." Obviously Emma.

"Thank you Emma." Lia's voice to Emma.

Maybe it's just luck that Emma can handle it because Luna just got exposed to the poison a while ago, although it is very dangerous kerberos poison does not spread quickly it takes at least 15-20 minutes to be able to paralyze a person's body, but still it will be very painful every minute, and that's why people exposed to kerberosene poison will become so miserable that more of the poison can kill in a matter of seconds.

.

.

"Thank you so much for protecting us. If there's anything you need just mention it, we'll give it to you." Say one trader represents another trader.

"It doesn't seem to exist." Saying to him.

"Alright then we'll repair the damage to the train first excuse me." Connect the merchant while walking towards their carriage.

...*****...

"The day is starting late afternoon/"

"With such damage it will take time to repair it, we will probably camp here tonight." Rhom looked at the merchants who were repairing his carriage.

Due to the brutal attacks of the kerberos and other black dog monsters the merchants' trains suffered considerable damage, roofs, tires, and other, and the back of that horse carriage as well as the other parts were completely damaged due to the monster's attack.

"I agree, uh! where do you want to go Rhom?" I said while asking.

"It's a hassle, but we'd better secure this place. I'll set some traps, see you later." He crossed his arms over his head while walking into the forest.

Out of the four horse carriages we followed, two of them suffered severe damage, with a slight gaze towards the Rhom merchants then went into the forest to prepare a trap just in case a monster came attacking us again, although Rhom looks like a careless person, he is quite sensitive and caring towards those around him.

"Yoo Luna we both lay down." Rin said to Luna.

"We are less fortunate." Legally.

"Eh Rin's! you still haven't healed?" ask her.

"I was hit by a direct hit, so what can I do." The answer.

"Y-yahh, hopefully get well soon." Me next to him.

"Stop that and rest in peace, you are still not fully healed." Emma told them.

"Well well you don't have to be mad at Emma." Rin said to him while pulling the blanket.

I better help Rhom.

Seeing the condition of Luna who had started to improve I then stood up and went into the forest leaving her lying near Rin along with Emma and Lia to help Rhom set a trap so that there were no monsters the brave ones approached us.

...

...✧❁❁✧✿( Ellia )✿✧❁❁...

"It's medicine for you Luna, it will help relieve the pain and neutralize the rest of the poison." Emma while giving a small glass of healing medicine.

"Is there nothing for me?" rin asked in his blanket.

"You just need to rest." Emma's heart is a little flat. •_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________•

I sat down beside Luna while looking at Emma who was making a cure for her, Emma put in a few leaves of a medicinal plant and then brewed it with warm water along with the powder of the plant that has been mashed until smooth, but I don't know what kind of plant it is, but I don't know what kind of plant it is, all I could see was a dry, fine plant.

"W-is there no such thing as a pill?"

I've guessed. "•IT'S A MATTER OF COURSE•

Luna looked unhappy to see Emma with the sleeping medicine drink in her hand, yes, sister Luna was always like that because she did not like the bitter taste of liquid medicine or rather maybe it was herbal medicine, kak Luna always looks panicked when faced with herbal drinks, especially if it tastes bitter.

"No, it's a liquid medicine that works faster Luna... You only need to drink a few sips it's not difficult right?" answer Emma.

"Hm.so liquid medicine is better than pill medicine." I said slowly while thinking.

"Not really, because all drugs are the same, it's just that liquid medicine is easier to digest by the body so that it can cure more pain, it's just that, unlike the pill medicine that takes time to do healing."

"Owh. so yeah, yoshh."

"This is quickly spent." I said while giving the medicinal drink.

"Wait Lia/"

"No wait, brother must take this medicine quickly, let's hurry brother!"

"But, Lia/

"No buts ce. pat. mi... num.." I said with a smile to bring the drink closer to Luna's mouth.

"No Lia Lia!! I don't want to!! YO!!!"

.

.

.

"Uhuk uhuk uwakk.. Why Lia? why?" said Brother Luna while holding back the vomit.

Little by little I brought the medicine cup close to the face of Luna to drink the medicine, because Luna seemed very unwilling to drink it I had to do that, luna was almost running away when I did that, but I quickly pulled her leg back to where it had been and immediately drank the medicine on her.

"Hehehe's sorry, brother, it's for your own brother's sake." I said with a smile. ^_^

"Don't mind Luna's taste, the important thing is that you recover quickly." Emma told him.

"Emma is right sis/"

"Aghh... My stomach is almost out, I want to sleep.." said Luna while hiding under her blanket.

...........

"Congratulations on your achievement." Rin said from inside her blanket.

"I don't need your congratulations, you know it's bitter right?!"

"Of course, I never wanted to drink it."

"Then why did you ask him to drink it?"

"That's just so you want to drink it."

"You know I don't like that, right?!"

"I don't know."

"You know you hate Rin."

"It's up to you to see you again at dinner, good night."

"Damn." Luna sounded annoyed.

...........

It was very clear that Luna and Rin were fighting in their blankets, saying to each other with a tone of voice that was quite upset, the whole point of the argument between the two of them was that because they didn't like taking medicine, they looked worse than me and looked like children.

"Here you are, brother, I'm sorry.so don't fuss with Rin, you have a lot of rest." My words are trying to calm Luna down.

"Sister isn't angry Lia, sister just doesn't like being asked to do things that you don't like." Said Luna still hiding under her blanket.

"Can't you be a little quieter." Emma told them.

"Well good.wake me up for dinner." Rin said from inside her blanket.

"Hahh, then you want to sleep too." Said Luna to me.

"Yes, you better rest." My leg while sitting leaning against the tree trunk.
