Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Author: I tell you that Souji is super cute

Summary:

Zieger Fehr is a dragon hunter who hunts dragons and then eats them.

As a result of an accident, he met Brunhilde, who called herself the [Dragon Slayer System·Assisted AI], and set out on the journey of slaying dragons with her.

But after slaying dragons again and again, Sieg discovered that he seemed to have to slay more than just dragons?

[We will destroy all dragons! Kill all dragons in this world without leaving any! ]

[If there are obstructors, oppressors, betrayers, and deceivers, they are also dragons! ]

With Brunhilde's advice and guidance, Siegfried faced the reality and looked at the enemies standing in front of him.

"So, you're all dragons?"

"—prepare to die!"

Ragnar the Dragon Hunter

1. Ziegler Fehr

The moment he opened his eyes, Siegfried Fehr saw the sky had completely darkened.

A waxing crescent moon hung in the starry night sky, providing him with the most basic illumination. Apart from that, there was only darkness in his eyes.

(…Not dead?)

After stretching his hands and feet and making sure that his life was still in his own hands, Sieg sat up from the sticky liquid beneath him, tore off his wet clothes nonchalantly, and looked around.

The scene before his eyes was one of complete disarray.

Whether looking to the left or the right, all he could see were corpses, blood, flesh, and bones piled on the ground - of course, they were not human corpses. Sieg had fought with these corpses before and knew whose bodies they belonged to.

"I survived ten lower-rank dragons. I'm really lucky."

Dragon.

That was the name of these corpses when they were alive. They were the long-existing Demon Blood Clan, with strength and bodies far beyond that of ordinary humans, and more ferocious than any other beast in the world. They were natural predators, and their most basic instinct was to attack towns or kill humans. They were the natural enemies of humans.

Since ancient times, humans have been plagued by dragon attacks.

But dragons are not invincible. There is a small group of people among humans who are not only not afraid of dragons, but also regard dragons as prey and call themselves "Dragon Hunters."

Sieg is a dragon hunter.

However, unlike those dragon hunters who registered in the guild in groups, Sieg was just a self-proclaimed dragon hunter - but it didn't matter to him. No matter whether they were genuine or fake, anyone who could kill a dragon was a good dragon hunter.

After confirming with his eyes that there were no living dragons around, Sieg found a piece of unbroken stone and sat down. "It should be a long time before dawn, so there is no need to worry about these corpses being burned."

The biggest reason why dragon hunters can hunt dragons is that the weaknesses of dragons have long been known to everyone.

The first is [sunlight]. Direct sunlight can cause fatal damage to dragons. If it is the lowest-ranking [lower-ranking dragon] in the dragon group, that is, the ones around Sieg, they will turn into ashes the moment they are exposed to the sun. It is said that the oldest group of dragon hunters used various large devices to capture dragons, and then dragged them until the sun rose, letting the sun burn the dragons to death.

Therefore, dragons are usually active at night.

The second is [Silver]. It is not ordinary silver, but a very special metal that can emit [Silver Gas]. For dragons, Silver Gas is also their natural enemy, which can freeze the blood of dragons and kill them. Similarly, if a lower dragon is hit by a silver weapon, it will definitely be frozen on the spot and then shattered.

In this day and age, every dragon hunter carries a silver weapon. It is standard equipment and even children know it.

"Let me see... I found it. Here it is."

Seeing the handle of his weapon among the corpses, Sieg stepped forward and pulled out the silver sword he had used for several years. However, perhaps because it had been used for several years, or because it had not been well maintained, the silver sword was broken in half.

"It's broken, that's normal. I felt something was wrong a few days ago... Never mind, let's eat first."

For ordinary dragon hunters, the silver sword is their foundation and their only weapon against dragons. If the silver sword or other silver tools are damaged, they will buy a new one even if it costs a lot of money. But Sieg is different from ordinary dragon hunters. The silver sword is not his only means of killing dragons.

If I had to give a reason—

"boom!"

A ball of fire suddenly ignited in Sieg's hand.

Using the broken silver sword, he inserted a piece of corpse and placed it on the flame in his palm. Then, he started roasting dragon meat in a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

If other people saw this, they would definitely be scared to death by Sieg's behavior. After all, eating dragon meat is something that normal people would never think about. Bread, cakes, and other kinds of meat are so delicious, there is no need to take the risk of tasting dragon meat.

But for Zig, this is his dinner.

Ziegfell is an outcast.

When he was one year old, his mother died in a fire in the room while he was sleeping.

When he was 3 years old, his adoptive father died in an accidental fire while preparing dinner. His home was also burned down and he lost both his parents.

When he was 5 years old, the family of the village chief who took him in also died, also in a fire.

When he was 7 years old, the village where he lived was completely destroyed, not because of a fire, but because of a dragon attack. Fortunately, there was a dragon hunter who came late at that time, and Sieg, the only survivor, lived with the uncle.

When he was 11 years old, his uncle, a dragon hunter, died. He was eaten by a dragon because of carelessness during a dragon hunt. After that, Sieg found his silver sword that was left behind, inherited it, and began his life as a dragon hunter, which has been almost five years to this day.

In the past five years, Sieg has never been close to humans or towns. After all, the places where he lived were all destroyed by fire. For safety reasons, it is better for a mobile disaster like him to wander in the wilderness. Since he defeated a lower dragon for the first time five years ago and ate a whole lower dragon when he was too hungry, Sieg has started this life of killing and eating dragons.

[Flame] was something he discovered when he ate a dragon for the third time. Having eaten cold dead dragon meat twice, Sieg wanted to try hot barbecue - and then flames started burning in his palms.

Although he still didn't understand how he made the fire, from Sieg's own feeling, it seemed like it was just a matter of thought. But Sieg was not good at thinking too much. It was enough for him to grill the meat. If the temperature could be raised, it could also be used to kill dragons.

In this case, Sieg had no doubts.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~~~~”

Under the burning flames, the dragon meat, which was covered with a thin layer of frost, immediately gave off the aroma of barbecue. The reason why meat has always been loved by people is that as long as it is roasted, it is delicious even without seasoning, including dragon meat, which not many people have tried.

"Aww!"

Biting off a large piece of meat, Sieg chewed it roughly, throwing the other pieces of meat together and lighting a fire on the spot.

"boom!"

The flames enveloped all the pieces of meat and began to grill them in a way that could be described as burning.

To be honest, this is a bit of a waste, but Sieg never cares about waste. There are still many corpses of lower-level dragons around, and if they are piled up like this and burned, they can also serve as a bonfire. It is still quite dark at night.

While Sieg was sitting in front of the simple campfire, eating big mouthfuls of dragon meat...

"Hmm? Is that... a shooting star?"

Suddenly, a meteor appeared in the sky and streaked across the sky.

Sieg had never been to school, but he had only heard some knowledge from the dragon hunter uncle. In his understanding, shooting stars were just stones falling from the sky. It was said that for some young men and women, making a wish to a shooting star was a very romantic thing, and the wish might even come true.

Sieg really didn't understand what was so romantic about this kind of thing. It was just a piece of broken stone that fell from the sky. How could it possibly make a wish come true?

(If my wish could come true...would I still have to live like this?)

When he was a child, Zig would make wishes.

But after his father died, he stopped making wishes because making wishes could not even bring psychological comfort.

And if he had to make a wish now, he would hope that this meteor could kill a few lower-level dragons and allow him to collect some reserve food - winter is coming soon, and he needs to find a place to hibernate.

However......

[Confirmed that the previous host has died, based on emergency regulations, began looking for the next host]

[Ideas that meet the criteria are detected, and contact attempts are initiated]

As if projected directly into his mind, a girl's voice rang out in Sieg's head.

[Nice to meet you. I am Brunhilde, the auxiliary AI of the Dragon Slayer System.]

[Dear warrior who aspires to slay dragons, do you need any support in slaying dragons? ]

Ziegfeld: "...Who's talking?"

2. Brunhilde the Dragon Slayer

The sudden voice in his mind made Zigg pat his head subconsciously.

This was the first time he encountered this situation.

【It's me speaking】

It seemed as if countless small blocks were being assembled together. As the female voice sounded again, a young girl suddenly appeared in front of Zigg.

Sieg had rarely seen women. After all, he left the crowded place when he was 11 years old. The last time he saw a member of the opposite sex was when he was taken to a tavern by the dragon hunter to drink. A waitress pulled him aside from a group of drunk uncles.

But even so, at this moment, Sieg couldn't help but be fascinated by the opposite sex in front of him, and his eyes were attracted by the figure that seemed to have gravity.

The girl had long silver hair tied into a high ponytail, her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and her delicate features surpassed any opposite sex Sieg had ever seen. Even his mother, who was the most beautiful in his impression, faded in his memory at this moment.

The gorgeous long skirt with sky blue and white colors wrapped around the girl's body. Her tall and outstanding figure suddenly gave Sieg a sense of déjà vu as if he was looking up at a mountain. Although he was indeed sitting now, even if he stood up, he would probably still be head-higher than the girl in front of him, right?

The slender but not thin arms were covered with a pair of seemingly soft and smooth lace gloves, and the legs under the skirt and the feet were also wearing long boots decorated with many shiny inlays.

“…So beautiful.”

Subconsciously, Sieg praised softly and lowered his head at the same time - compared with the girl in front of him who looked like a royal princess or a goddess from heaven, he, who had just crawled out of the pile of corpses, with tattered clothes and covered in blood, felt really ashamed of himself.

Hearing Sieg's praise, the goddess-like girl smiled sweetly yet respectfully.

[I am very happy to receive your praise, brave warrior]

[However, compared with your glorious and bravery in hunting dragons, my appearance is really not worth mentioning.]

Again.

The girl was indeed moving her lips, but the sound went directly into Sieg's mind.

After stroking his head a few more times, Sieg put down the piece of meat in his hand and said, "You... are talking?"

【Yes】

[I am the auxiliary AI of the Dragon Slayer System, codenamed Brunhilde, and I am a Valkyrie program that exists to support the contractors who aim to slay dragons.]

[I'm sorry for talking to you without your permission, but I was in an emergency, please forgive me]

"No, it's okay..."

Zigg was a little overwhelmed.

He hadn't spoken to anyone for almost five years, let alone to such a beautiful girl, so much so that he stuttered when he spoke accidentally.

Without showing any reaction to Sieg's embarrassment, the girl who called herself Brunhilde continued:

Thank you for your understanding.

[Then please allow me to make a somewhat abrupt request - can you become my contractor? ]

"......Eh?"

Sieg tilted his head in confusion: "Contractor? What is that?"

[To put it more bluntly, I hope you can sign a contract with the Dragon Slayer System, become the owner of the system and me, and work together to exterminate all dragons.]

"—!"

What Brunhilde said made Sieg's pupils tremble violently.

Make dragons...extinct?

"Are you kidding me?"

[Of course not. Although I do have the ability to joke around, I will take dragon slaying seriously. This is my underlying operating code and core mechanism.]

[From your expression, mental state, and heart rate changes, I judge that you may not fully understand the current situation, so please allow me to explain it to you in detail in a more special way - please grit your teeth, there will be some discomfort]

"oh oh......"

Sieg's instinct led him to do as Brunhilde said.

And the next moment——

"Well----!"

The sudden swelling and impact in his brain made Sieg groan! If he hadn't clenched his teeth, he would have screamed!

(H-What’s going on? Is there something…memory? What…is this————?!)
