Chapter 14: I Am a Red Dragon!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fine yellow sand that blew past his face while hiding behind the sand dune had imbued Max with a sense of déjà vu.

‘T-This...’

‘This feels like an?FPS¹?game!’

Back when he was still a human, Max played a lot of shooting games.

The ones that were developed properly would allow their players to shoot through walls.

“Wall-penetrating bullets... Oh no, this is bad!”

Max reacted hastily. Although the sand dune would obscure his opponent’s vision, it was incapable of blocking the ballista’s shot!

He was certain that the adventurer was already aiming at the sand dune, and they were raring to kill both of them in a single strike!

“Duck!”

Max slid down the sand dune and pressed Mia’s head down at the same time.

Whoosh —

A crossbow bolt flew over their heads and shattered the sand dune, sending fine sand flying.

“That was close...”

Max saw that half of the sand dune had been cut off. Had he reacted one second later, his head would have already disappeared.

Suddenly, an idea came to Max’s mind.

He cleared his throat and deliberately let out two pained, but different cries.

“Caw!”

“Aaaoo!”

...

Just as Carvella was about to load the next bolt, she heard two screams from behind the sand dune.

“Oh? I managed to hit both of them?”

She was well aware of her ballista’s power. Even if there were ten Dragon Hatchlings stacked together, her ballista was capable of turning all of them into a kebab.

As such, she was not surprised that she had managed to injure both dragons.

Carvella was extremely happy. A single Dragon-vanquishing Bolt had only cost a dozen or so gold coins, but the corpses of two Dragon Hatchlings was enough to turn her life around!

Moreover, the stronger of the two Dragon Hatchlings had also caught Carvella’s attention since early on.

This was the first time she had ever seen a dragon, much less a Dragon Hatchling, use such a tactic.

After all, dragons were proud creatures. Finding cover was considered as a sin for them.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Carvella’s mind, which was to quickly inspect the two Dragon Hatchling’s bodies to determine whether there was any difference between them.

With a cavalry saber in hand, Carvella slowly approached the sand dune from the side.

...

After narrowly escaping death, Max secretly stuck out half of his head to observe the situation outside.

Sure enough, the adventurer was fooled and thought that they had been shot dead.

The adventurer was not on high alert at the moment, and she had left behind her ballista.

Even when compared to Dragon Hatchlings, a human’s body was extremely frail. Even the most powerful warrior was useless against a Dragon Hatchling’s dragon breath.

In a sense, Max had created an opportunity for them.

However, he had only one chance.

After all, adventurers who dared to challenge dragons were most likely battle-hardened veterans.

Although there were more humans than dragons, the reason behind their numbers was due to their strong reproductive ability. When humans fought against one another, it was no more gentler than when fighting dragons!

Especially in this dangerous fantasy world, the humans who overestimated themselves had long disappeared from this world. Those who were left behind were definitely capable individuals!

This was something that Max, who had been a human for 18 years, was certain about.

Should he miss his strike, the cunning adventurer would definitely return to their ballista quickly and fire it continuously.

However, if he could manage to land his dragon breath on the adventurer, they could then escape from danger.

There was a problem with this plan though, and it was his dragon breath. Unfortunately, he had poor aptitude for magic, and as a result, he doubted that his Lightning Breath was capable of killing the adventurer.

‘What about Mia’s then?’

‘In terms of strength, her dragon breath could annihilate a group of elephants in a single shot, much less a human.’

However, upon recalling Mia’s terrible accuracy, he immediately gave up.

Mia did not know what had happened. She also imitated Max and sighed.

“Sigh.”

“Sigh.”

Behind the sand dune, two Dragon Hatchlings sighed. One was struggling to survive, and the other thought that it was cool to imitate her brother.

“Sister, don’t move. Close your eyes.”

Fortunately, Max had yet another bright idea. He asked Mia to close her eyes, and Mia obediently did as he said.

Then, Max went behind MIA and stretched out his front claws to hold Mia’s little head.

Since he was incapable of firing a useful dragon breath, and Mia had poor accuracy...

His idea was to help Mia target!

Had the internet existed in this fantasy world, Max would definitely have started a thread upon returning home.

“[Discussion] Using my sister as a rocket launcher!”

Back to reality...

At this moment, Max calmed down his breathing while adjusting Mia’s head to locate an appropriate angle.

Max planned to use Mia’s dragon breath to blow the adventurer into charred meat the moment she appeared in his field of vision!

“Sister, get ready. When I say ‘fire’, unleash your Lightning Breath.”

“O-Okay.”

Mia answered timidly.

She did not know what she was doing. As such, she felt slightly embarrassed.

After all, even after going through all of her ancestors’ memories, Mia had not found any similar actions. None of her ancestors have ever carried out this action before.

However, since it was her brother’s orders, she obeyed them.

Mia had never forgotten Max’s help in breaking her eggshell.

Such an act was considered taboo for dragons. It was only right and proper for the weak to suffocate to death within their eggs.

Moreover, the moment Mia took her first breath of fresh air, she felt no other emotion than the joy of being alive.

Perhaps her pride as a dragon was already shattered by her brother at that time.

“Get ready...”

Max held his breath and tried hard to steady his claws.

As an experienced FPS gamer, Max knew that if he were to fire his shot after the enemy appeared, it would be too late.

He needed to fire a few seconds before the enemy’s appearance to achieve the greatest results.

“3...”

Max remembered the adventurer’s walking speed. Unless she had abruptly changed her pacing, she would fall under his crosshairs within 3 seconds.

“2...”

Unless something unexpected were to occur, this would be Max’s first time killing a human throughout his two lives.

Ever since he discovered that he had wings and could speak the language of dragons, Max knew that this day would come sooner or later.

“1...”

However, he did not feel any reluctance in his heart. It did not matter if he was a human in his previous life! It did not matter if she was a fellow countryman! Right now, he only wanted to live! He wanted to bring his sister back home!
