The Overlords Dragon

Chapter 3

For Enri Emmot, the day started out much as the same as any other.

She woke up at the crack of dawn and started the arduous task of getting her little sister out of bed.

She would haul water from the nearby well to fill the water tank in the house and after that, her mother would've cooked up whatever they had left to eat for breakfast this morning.

As she lifted up the bucket and walked towards the well, her thoughts wandered to something else, something new that happened in her unchanging life.

Or rather, some people.

Just the other day, her village was visited by two...unique travellers.

Well, they were quite frankly terrifying, but they kept to themselves and they didn't cause any trouble so the chief decided to let them enter the village to see what they wanted.

They were both tall and massive, but besides that, they really couldn't be different from each other.

The Mage introduced himself as Ainz Ooal Gown but she heard his companion call him 'Momo' though it seemed to be a slip of the tongue or a cute nickname for the scary looking the magic caster funnily enough.

He wore a pitch-black robe that covered his whole body with gold thread edges around it, that quite frankly looked like it should've suffocated him and give him heatstroke, especially in such hot weather.

He wore the strangest pauldrons or shoulder pads she ever saw. Large bone-like things that jutted out with a large ruby in the middle of each one.

They must be fake, what else can they be? Real rubies, that size? Or real bone that big?

Speaking of fake, the staff he used couldn't be anything but. Really, a solid gold staff with 7 gems in those snake mouths? Ridiculous, really.

He also wore a strange red mask with crystal blue eyes that seemed to be laughing and mocking who ever talked to it and plated gloves that hid his hands. He seemed...not shy, but withdrawn.

As if he felt uncomfortable being among other people, but Enri wasn't surprised. She pegged him for a Noble as soon as she saw him along with being a Mage. Who else would wear a robe in a place like this and with those giant fake rubies?

Enri knew the wonders of magic but also the dangers of it as well. Her friend, Nfirea, told her stories of things magic could do, but it wasn't the Mage that worried her.

It was Dracul, the Warrior that accompanied the Mage, that worried her.

From what Nfirea would tell her, it's a common setup for a Warrior and Mage to travel together. The Mage would cast support spells while the Warrior would attack or defend, depending on the situations.

The difference being, that a Mage needed a Warrior, but a Warrior didn't need a Mage.

While she has heard of Mages casting powerful spells like [Fireball] or [Lightning], those were 3rd Tier spells and if he had those, he wouldn't be travelling with a Warrior that could fight for him frankly

No, she was far more afraid of what Dracul could do to her village than what the Mage could do.

If what the Mage wore should've given him heatstroke, than Dracul should've collapsed from exhaustion as soon as he put it on for more than a minute.

Wearing full plate armour along with a large red cape and lugging that colossal sword around on his back, Enri could hardly believe that the man is human.

The dark red, plate armour and along with the helmet he wore both depicted Dragons of all things, his chest plate showing a rising Dragon and his helmet is in the shape of a Dragon's head with a closed maw.
