Chapter 43: Just the Two of Us (1)
“—Kaaaaah!!”
The Death Dragon, having lost its wing, thrashed about miserably as it plummeted.
Its massive body stirred up clouds of dust, kicking up a sandstorm.
Thanks to the mask, I didn’t end up with a mouthful of dirt.
Wow. Even so, I didn’t expect her to slice Wilhelm’s wing off in one strike.
Asella’s teleportation magic had a smaller radius than the dragon’s body, so only part of it was transported—hence the severing effect.
Just imagining that hitting me gives me goosebumps.
“Haah, huu...”
Asella panted heavily. Looks like the mana consumption was bigger than expected.
No surprise—she’d forcefully replenished her mana with potions.
But what choice did we have? The other imperial mages had all turned tail to protect the Emperor, so the only mage left to fight here was Asella.
Still, I can’t leave the chances of other bad endings alone either.
