Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 167.5
Aishe finally realized the purpose of the girl in front of him when they reached that stage.
The armored dragon was running backwards. What could be in that direction? There was the earth dragon that was finally about to unleash its next attack on the hot air balloon.
[Gugaaaaah!!!!]
The controlled earth dragon ran out of control and distracted by the armored dragon that was rushing toward it.
The conditioning performed on the earth dragon, a true dragon species, was not perfect. Still, it would not have minded an attack by a puny human. In a normal state of mind, he would not have taken a notice of an attack by an armored dragon.
However, the less-than-perfect mental control resulted in the approaching giant armored dragon’s instinctive defensive instincts being aroused.
–Roar–!
The fireball that was supposed to be shot at the balloon was aimed at the armored dragon.
“Damn!!!”
Aishe, who had been lashing his tongue out violently, jumped backward, and Aria followed suit.
The armored dragon, which continued to run, was burned by the earth dragon’s breath and was blown apart in the desert. Aria’s hair, which was blown away by the blast while using the dragon’s huge body as a shield, lost its light. Aishe, seeing this as an opportunity, brandished his sword, and while Aria was also blown away, she did not take her eyes off the dragon and simultaneously brandished her blades.
“–[Vorpal Strike]–!”
“–[Critical Edge]–!!!”
Two battle techniques released simultaneously. The two clashed in midair, Aishe’s sword piercing Aria’s stomach and Aria’s blade slicing through Aishe’s side.
The two bodies fell to the ground, blown apart, spraying copious amounts of blood at each other. A few seconds later, one of them slowly gets up with dazed steps.
“What the heck is this thing…?”
Aishe asked for the umpteenth time, holding his side where blood was gushing out, to the girl who had fainted and regained her peach-blonde hair.
Why does this girl go to such lengths to fight? Was she not afraid to die?
Why did she know that technique? The reason Aishe couldn’t kill her in the last moment with his Combat Skill was because she evaded it while using her own Combat Skill.
That hair color… could it be? Aishe recognized that peach-blonde hair.
“But–“
Dangerous, Aishe immediately decided.
There were so many questions he wanted to ask. But as a general of the Demon Army, he couldn’t leave a person who could hinder the Demon Army’s invasion and kill several commanders on her own.
“Die.”
Aishe, though seriously wounded himself, raised his sword.
But then…
“Wait!”
Someone stopped Aishe as he was about to swing his sword down.
“You…!”
Aishe’s eyes widened at the sight of the boy.
When did he appear, there he saw the prince of the Demon Kingdom, who had been missing for several years, staring at Aishe with his shoulders slumped and out of breath.
“Withdraw your sword, General Aishe. I will take custody of her in my name.”
At the words of the prince, who was astride his cavalry beast, accompanied by two attendants, one a man of mature age and the other a girl still young, Aishe, who had been silently glaring at the prince, silently lowered his sword, spitting out a blood-curdling spit.
“I couldn’t leave such a bastard to her own devices, but if she could survive… I, too, would like to ask her about the technique she used, which was also used by my sister.”
