Chapter 7: Dragon's Wrath

"...Ah, there it is..."

Pearce muttered after seeing Lucas get eaten by the dragon with a tired expression.

It wasn't just him that looked tired, Lilianne and the other employees all sighed at the outcome. Though they had predicted this outcome from the beginning, actually seeing it happen was more tiresome than they thought.

They had been watching the battle between Lucas and Denneth from the start. They had saw Lucas coming up with a tactic he thought suitable for the moment and saw him attack the dragon successfully with it on the first half.

However, after the breath attack, the audience can only look at Lucas with pity as they saw him cry from the death of his comrades and gritted his teeth. They all know well how high Lucas' [Night Vision] would allow him to see through that fire and some of them teared up on that scene like Pearce. Since the vampire army was still shaken by fear, Lucas had attacked the dragon alone.

Instead of the vampires running away, they had helped Lucas despite still being afraid of Denneth.

The audience watched this with soft eyes when Sebastian had held out his hand to Lucas.

But alas, that instant of soft mood was soon broken.

With a shockwave from the dragon, the entire vampire army plus Lucas was blown away. Sebastian, who was the nearest to the dragon was about to get eaten. The audience looked at this closely in suspense, those that couldn't handle it turned around and shut their eyes, not wanting to see it.

Then, all of a sudden, Lucas sliced off his leg that was caught in a huge boulder and ran towards Sebastian in full speed.

Replacing him as he pushed Sebastian away, Lucas was eaten instead. His outreached arms were outside of the mouth so the bite sliced through it.

Those who had only teared up before were now crying. Honestly, it was ridiculous to cry on such a scene as they know in their minds that Lucas would revive and the vampires were just NPCs. But, to those that thought of that, they can't bring themselves to say it. The battle was real, the drama, the tragedy, the friendship. Everything felt so real that they can't just say something like that.

[[No! Milord!]]

[[Let go of me! He just sacrificed himself from me! How can I not take revenge!!!???]]

They were watching Sebastian being hold of by the vampire general.

Even with Lucas defeated, the story went on.

The vampire general pleaded as he held back Sebastian.

[[...I understand...I understand but............]]

[[Milord....]]

For a while, Sebastian stopped his outburst, looked down and clenched his fist hard enough for blood to spill.

[[.....Alright...Retreat! Everybody fall back!!!]]

After issuing the order, the general breathed a sigh of relief. On their way back, Sebastian picked up Lucas' right arm which was severed from the bite. He had wanted to get the left arm as well but it was thrown into the black flame of the dragon which was scattered around the battlefield due to the breath attack from earlier.

Fortunately, the dragon seemed to lose interest in attacking and stayed on his position defending the pathway towards the exit.

With a couple of help from other vampires, they managed to remove the boulder on top of Lucas' severed left leg. The sword which Sebastian gave him was nowhere to be found so it would be most likely to assume that it was eaten together with Lucas.
