Chapter 419: The Dragon Hunter’s Pride (side: Volk)
The dragon looks between the banquet hall and the escaping member of the Three Knights, appearing confused. It seems to be struggling to decide whether it is better to give chase or to stay here. Pausing to think on the battlefield like that is the height of folly. It’s a sight unbefitting of the eternity-knowing double-headed, the ouroboros.
If the reason for the hesitation is doubt over my swordsmanship, then I must dispel it right away.
Certainly, my compatibility with that two-faced monster is the worst. That monster's strength is also a step above those I have been cutting down until now.
But if I wasn't able to push through here, the title of the Dragon Hunter would be an empty threat.
This a perfect opportunity to take down one of the underlings of the Demon Lord, who is plotting the destruction of the world. It's possible that, no matter how much I travel, I may never meet the legendary swordsman Howgrey. I had faintly suspected as such. If so, then it may have been for this moment that sharpened my sword. If I fall back now, my life of devotion to the sword might be rendered meaningless.

Standing before my sword is a strange-looking young girl with indigo hair, holding a sword and with a second face in her chest. She’s one of the Three Knights under the princess’s, or rather, the Demon Lord’s direct command, the 『Phantom Butterfly Sword Mephisto』.

“The Dragon Hunter, is it? It seems like you’re looking down on us…”
