「WOOOOOOOOOOW, THAT CITY IS SUPER BIG!」

Three days had passed since I followed the two iron bars.

I caught sight of the biggest rampart I had ever seen.

What was that, the Royal Capital?

「It really is a giant metropolis, huh…」

Such a giant metropolis would have the technology to kill me, yet I was also extremely worried at the same time.

Anyhow, I would infiltrate the Royal Capital by jumping over its rampart like what I did before.

Even so… I thought that it was better to wait until midnight since the security was rather tight.

「In addition… I want to know about THAT too.」

I looked up to the sky.

There, I saw a giant, floating ship-like object.

Different from the usual ship, it had no sail.
Instead, several wings-like objects were installed on its body.

At first, I thought it was a giant bird, but now I was sure that it was a man made.

After all, it had been flying above me since a while ago.

I knew that it was some sort of vehicle since I saw a human face every now and then inside that ship, but…

「Aweso~me, I wish I could ride that too~」

Wait a minute, shouldn’t I just jump over there? I thought such a feat was possible for the current me.

No, no, no, I should give up.
I knew that my heart wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Thus, as I gave up on my plan to ride on that ship and looked back at the Royal Capital’s rampart, I saw something coming from there.

「Uhm?」

That something was just right in front of the rampart.

To be exact, that something was a countless number of soldiers who lined up in front of the rampart.

Yes, A LOT of soldiers.

It was obviously a group of thousands of soldiers armed to a T, forming a long line.

It was in stark contrast with the mishmash group of adventurers I met from before.

Their numbers were simply overkill, and most of all, they were fully equipped for war.

Yes, no matter how you looked at it, they were troops from the kingdom.

I saw red flags with the crest of a golden lion painted on its surface being erected at regular intervals.

It might be this kingdom’s flag.

「Eh? Is there some sort of war in this place?」

If they were going to face their enemies, they should make full use of the giant rampart behind them.

Since they were lining up like this in front of the rampart, it meant that they were about to sortie.

It seemed I came at the wrong time.

Well, it was my fault for not realizing this fact faster despite seeing the desolate highway ever since a few days ago.

If there was something I was curious about, it was the direction those soldiers were facing.
They were facing toward my direction instead of the highway.

After all, this way was clearly not the direction most suited for a long march.

At that moment, a single horseman left the formation and headed toward my direction.

His equipment was clearly far superior compared to the equipment of the rest of soldiers.
He might be the general of this army.

His helmet was also decorated with splendid feathers.

「Why do I feel that… they have business with me?」

I was flustered.

They would investigate my identity thoroughly if I came to the city in this kind of situation.

And when that happened, with my lousy communication power, I wouldn’t be able to deceive them.

Well… I should retreat for the time being.

As soon as I decided that, I turned around and ran in the other direction.

===A Certain Brave King Who Want To Die in Battle===

「W-WAIT A MINUTE?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING?!」

The undead suddenly turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the Royal Capital.

I ended up getting flustered since it happened so suddenly.

Was he… running away?

DID HE THINK I WAS GONNA LET HIM DO THAT?!

「Ryuun!」

「Hihiii~n!」

Ryuun accelerated at once upon hearing my order.

Ryuun could easily overtake the train when running at full speed.

With this kind of speed, soon we’ll―not catch up to him?!

As soon as I thought we were catching up to him, the distance opened again.

That undead… just how fast could he run?!

「But… at this distance.」

I readied my sword while riding on the back of my partner.
This attack would sink or swim.

This sword was something that I obtained during my adventurer era.
Within it slept a tremendous power; it was so powerful that calling it a divine sword was no exaggeration.

The main reason I could subjugate the disaster-class monster that attacked this kingdom a long time ago was mainly because of this sword.

「HAH!!」

I brandished that sword from horseback.

Naturally, the length of the blade was far from enough to reach that undead.

What I did just now was fire an invisible slash.

But it wasn’t a run-of-the-mill flying slash; it was a slash that could bypass all kinds of defenses, an absolute severance slash.

It could easily cut a dragon’s scale like butter, and with this kind of deadly sword, even a child could easily beat an orc.

But not just anyone could use this sword’s power.
This sword chose its owner.

In short, I was the only one in this world who could use this sword’s power.

SWOOSH!

I saw that slash reached the undead’s head, decapitating it.

「What the…?」

But he kept running like before for some reason.

Did my slash fail to reach him just now?

No, that was impossible.
It was true that I couldn’t see the slash, but there was no way my instinct was wrong.

「HIIIIIN…」

「Kuh!」

It seemed Ryuun had already run out of breath.

His speed dropped drastically in the next moment.

On the other hand, that undead didn’t seem to have run out of breath.

I mean… could an undead even feel fatigue?

「… Can’t be helped, I guess.」

I gave up on chasing after that undead and turned around to go back to the Royal Capital.

It would be extremely embarrassing if I, who became too excited and chased that undead by myself, returned empty handed.

Above all, what happened to my resolution to ignite the patriotism of my citizens?

But what awaited me when I regrouped with my soldiers was an unexpected voice.

「HIS MAJESTY IS BACK!」

「THE UNDEAD IS RUNNING AWAY WITH ITS TAIL BETWEEN ITS LEGS.
ALL HAIL HIS MAJESTY!」

「AS I THOUGHT, THIS KINGDOM IS SAFE FOR ETERNITY!」

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

PLEASE STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

I ended up screaming inside upon hearing my retainer’s praise.

I could see through this bastard’s scheme.

I ended up achieving nothing at all in this battle.

All I did was gallop on horseback—JUST THAT.

That undead didn’t flee because of me.

Rather, it felt like he wasn’t hostile toward us humans from the very beginning.

「To make a great disaster-rank monster flee, HIS MAJESTY IS THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD!!!」

「ALL HAIL GREAT KING ALENDROS!」

「ETERNAL GLORY FOR ROMANA KINGDOM! 」

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*CK!

DID YOU WANTED TO KILL ME WITH SHAME?!

That undead didn’t even touch the Royal Capital.

I thought it was an exaggeration to call him a great disaster-class monster.

Oh whatever, not like I cared!

As expected, not even I could endure it anymore.
And the moment I was about to flip out…

―RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

「「「~?!」」」

The sky suddenly shone in a golden color, which was accompanied by a rumbling noise.

「W-What happened?」

The thing that I saw as I looked up—while enduring the pain in my eardrums—was the airship that should be staying in the sky, set ablaze and falling to the ground.

If that was the only thing that happened, I would be able to convince myself that some sort of accident might have happened inside of the airship.

But then, another giant shadow—the one who destroyed the airship—descended from the sky.

「Dra… gon?」

It was a giant dragon with golden scales.

Its length was twice as long as the length of the airship, which was about thirty meters long.

And then, its body was wrapped in purple-colored lightning.

It seemed to be a dragon with special power.

「It can’t be… the Thunder Dragon Emperor?」

Someone spoke that name with a trembling voice, filled with despair.

Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Amongst the few types of dragons, that was the name of one of the rulers of the dragons.

And then—

「The real… great disaster-class monster.」

No doubt about it.

That guy was the real monster, befitting the great disaster class.

I could feel it even from this distance.
Its overwhelming amount of mana that far outstripped the disaster-class monster that I defeated in the past.

It might have felt no need to hide its presence, since it was literally the apex predator in this world.

At the next moment, that dragon opened its jaw, firing a blinding lightning breath from there.

RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That lightning breath struck the barrier that enveloped the entire Royal Capital with rumbling noise that was far greater than the previous one.

That barrier was the greatest defensive mechanism of the Royal Capital.

We deployed it in the millionth chance that the entire city would be struck with a large scale superlative magic.

―RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

But that barrier was destroyed by a single dragon breath.

「I-It destroyed the barrier?!」

「I-It’s entering the Royal Capital?!」

The figure of the thunder dragon descended right in the middle of the Royal Capital, but our view was obstructed by the rampart.

Oh no… at this rate, it was only a matter of time until the Royal Capital was destroyed by it!

But contrary to my expectations, the figure of the Thunder Dragon Emperor rose again to the sky.

Upon closer inspection, I saw the figure of a smaller dragon on its rear leg.

And then, it flew toward the western sky.

「Did it come… to reclaim the kidnapped child?」

「Whatever, as long as it’s gone…」

In spite of that desperate wish, I didn’t think that this matter would end as simply as this.

「HURRY UP! ACTIVATE THE BARRIER AGAIN!」

I galloped with Ryuun again as I sent that order.

「YOUR MAJESTY?!」

「I’LL AMBUSH THAT GUY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM THE ROYAL CAPITAL!」

Even the shockwave of that lightning breath had more than enough power to kill a normal human.

That was why I shouldn’t let it get closer to the Royal Capital.

「GURUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

And just as I thought, the Thunder Dragon Emperor came back.

I couldn’t see the figure of the dragon child on its rear leg anymore.

After sending the child to safety, it was back for revenge against the humans who dared to kidnap the child.

「… BRING IT ON! LET ME TO SHOW YOU A HUMAN’S MIGHT!」
