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

Every time he went out to hunt dragons, he would leave Sieg alone at home. Even when he came back, he would only leave a small portion of the reward for him, and spend most of the reward himself, sometimes taking Sieg with him. To be honest, Sieg basically didn't learn anything useful from him.

But even so...

Sieg was also grateful to the owner of the half head in front of him, because after the whole village was destroyed by the dragon, it was this uncle who took in Sieg who had nowhere to go, gave him a place to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear.

It can be said that if it weren't for this uncle, Sieg would have died at the age of 7.

He was not someone like Shenwei who would repay the grace of saving his life with fists and lightning. If possible, he really wanted to repay the dragon hunter who saved him.

Unfortunately--

"Whoo~~~~"

His arms suddenly turned into mist.

Looking at himself who had lost his limbs, Sieg sighed slightly: "Is this the end? It seems that I will soon be able to experience the feeling you experienced back then... being eaten alive by a dragon?"

If possible, Sieg did not intend to be eaten and buried simply in the Hell Valley.

But considering all aspects, it seems that he has no way to escape from the current situation?

The silver sword is no longer in his hand, his limbs have all turned into mist and disappeared, there is a big hole in his chest, and he can't contact Brunhilde... Is this the situation that means he is helpless?

(Will I die here?)

(Died in this illusory dream?)

dead.

The last and greatest change for every life is something that almost everyone will experience only once in their lifetime. Even if one wanders at the gates of hell countless times, everyone will only truly walk through the gates of hell once in their lifetime.

Sieg has been on the brink of death countless times.

11 to 16 years old.

In the past five years, Sieg has exchanged his life for the life of a dragon countless times. Although each time was accompanied by unbearable pain, as long as his head did not fall off and his heart was intact, Sieg could still fight - this is how he had been fighting before he met the Dragon Slayer System.

(Ah... so...)

At this moment, Sieg suddenly realized a fact.

Without Brunhilde, without the Dragon Slayer System, without the silver sword in hand, unable to use magic, it seemed like a hopeless and mortal situation... Why would he forget it?

"I... just came back, right?"

Back to when I first started hunting dragons.

Back to the time before he met Brunhilde and the Dragon Slayer System, back to the time before he could use magic, back to... the hell that he had once experienced and crossed.

"Pfft!"

The piercing sound was heard again, and this time it was Sieg's chest that was pierced - fortunately it was not the side with the heart, but that would probably be the target in the next moment, right?

I can no longer feel the pain.

Is it because the pain is so severe that I ignore the minor pains? Or is it because my senses have become numb?

(It doesn't matter what happens, the important thing is...)

"--I'm alive."

"Being alive is the most important thing."

Sieg has no obsession with slaying dragons. So far, he has only slain dragons to obtain the necessities of survival. For him, nothing is more important than staying alive. Only after satisfying the basic purpose of being alive will Sieg think about other things.

But now, someone doesn't want him to live.

Someone wanted to eat him, to make him lose his state of being alive, and to end the life that he had worked so hard to maintain all these years!

"Go to hell..."

Ziggy cursed.

Do these dragons who only know how to eat people know how much effort he has put in to survive these years? Now they want to treat him as a meal in such a casual way - why don't all these garbage that only hinder his survival die? !

"Pfft!"

It seemed as if something had bitten his shoulder, and a semicircular gap suddenly appeared on Sieg's shoulder.

Again!

(Die, die, die, die, die, die...)

Even though he was completely unable to move due to the loss of his limbs, Sieg, who only had his mouth left, continued to curse: "Those who hinder my survival, those dragons who hinder my survival... all of them, die!"

“Crack——————!”

It was as if the entire mirror was shattered.

The moment Sieg's voice fell, the entire world in his sight suddenly collapsed and shattered!

Everything turned into pieces and shattered in Sieg's eyes!

And what replaced it... was an incomparably dazzling pillar of light coming from directly above!

That was the bombardment of Balmunk, which Sieg had just seen the day before.

The phantom mist that was lingering around Sieg was dispersed at a speed visible to the naked eye in this all-destroying bombardment. The countless lower-level and middle-level dragons that were constantly biting and devouring his body were all destroyed without exception, as if they were bathed in sunlight!

There were no tragic dragon roars. The numerous dragons were destroyed in silence before they could even make a sound.

At the same time, in Sieg’s eyes, which were stained red and only had one eye left—

[Lord Sieg——! ]

Brunhilde's figure came to his side like a goddess descending.

On her goddess-like beautiful face, this moment was extremely rare... or was it the first time in Zieg's memory? She showed worry without any concealment, and her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety and self-blame.

[I am so sorry, Master Sieg, I am late.]

[I will take you back to the Crinshid now! ]

43.——Kill them all!

Time temporarily goes back to when Sieg had just fallen into hallucination.

On the bridge of the Crest.

【Lord Sieg? Lord Sieg? 】

Sieg called out the name of his contractor several times, but Brunhilde should have responded immediately, but the voice was not received by Brunhilde for a long time. At the same time, a light curtain appeared in front of Brunhilde.

[The contractor's health status is rapidly declining]

[The contractor's mental state is detected to be extremely unstable]

The Dragon Slayer System will monitor the physical condition of the contractor at all times. After all, in order to better slay dragons, both physical and mental health are necessary.

Now, looking at the situation presented by the Dragon Slayer System, a puzzled look appeared on Brunhilde's beautiful face: [Can you check the reason? ]

【Confirmed reason】

[The fog in the Hell Valley has a special magical power and has hallucination-inducing abilities. It is speculated that the contractor has hallucinations due to inhaling too much fog, and then was attacked unilaterally by the dragons - the possibility is as high as 97.13%]

[The following optimal solution is now given: Increase the output power of the main gun Balmung to 10.34%, set the attack target to all life forms except the contractor, and set the attack range to a circular area with a radius of 3 kilometers]

Do you want to solve the current problem in the most direct way through indiscriminate bombardment?

Brunhilde was silent for a moment.

[Lord Sieg said before entering Hell Valley that there is no need to use the main gun at will, and this operation is mainly to train Dragon Flash, so the use of the main gun is the last resort.]

【Raise an objection】

The light curtain displayed the instructions from the core of the Dragon Slayer System.

[The contractor is now in danger of death. Based on Article 3 of Section 2 of the Emergency Regulations, this system has the right to issue instructions - Valkyrie Program Assist AI, codename Brunhilde, execute the order]

[Fire the main gun to protect the contractor]

[——Brunhildr, accept the order]

This time, there was only a moment of silence. Following the instructions of the Dragon Slayer System, Brunhilde once again activated the main gun of the Kreinhild.

Then--

----------------------

[——I will take you back to the Crimsheed]

Brunhild immediately wanted to use her authority to contact the Kreinhild and ask it to descend.

She could understand Zig's current physical condition.

All of his limbs have been devoured by the dragons, there are several penetrating wounds in his abdomen, his left eye is blind, his chest is broken, and his internal organs are severely damaged... Although Sieg himself has a considerable degree of regenerative ability, given his current condition, the safest way is to receive a thorough treatment through the healing hot springs on the Climbheed.

but......

"Need not......"

A hoarse voice came from Sieg's mouth, which was open all the way to his ears.

This was a direct order from the contractor, and Brunhilde had to immediately and forcibly stop her actions.

【Lord Sieg! 】

"No need... to go back... it's just... a non-fatal injury..."

Just a non-fatal injury?

If anyone else heard this and looked at Sieg's current physical condition, they would definitely think that he was trying to be brave, or that he really wanted to die.

However, based on the core instructions set for herself, Brunhilde did not have any doubts about Sieg's words, and the next moment, under her gaze, Sieg's body, which was almost like a human stick, began to wriggle and tremble strangely!

“Hua La La~~~~!”

Blood gushed out from every wound, and instantly Sieg's body was immersed in a pool of blood. As the blood rushed and his body trembled, Sieg's body regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Broken bones grew back from nothingness.

The squirming flesh and blood clung to the new bones and spread around them.

The brand new skin then covered the bright red muscle surface.

Damaged and missing internal organs regenerate quickly from scratch.

Even the left eye that had been blinded was filled up again in the blink of an eye.

"Well......"

Standing up from the pool of blood, Sieg moved his new limbs as if he had never been injured before, and then sighed softly: "Huh~~~~~ I'm alive... I finally got my life back. Thank you, Miss Brunhilde, let the Klinghild fire its main gun to cover my recovery."

[No, as long as Lord Sieg is safe, that's all. The reason you are in danger this time is undoubtedly the fault of me and the Dragon Slayer System. Please retreat now and wait until you have a perfect Dragon Slayer Plan to challenge again.]

"Go back? Isn't that right?"

A fake silver sword made of frost magic condensed in his hand, and Sieg said in a deep voice: "I realized one thing, Miss Brunhilde."

"I originally had no obsession with slaying dragons. All I needed was to [keep myself alive]. As long as I could fulfill such a simple wish, I didn't care whether I had to slay dragons or not."

"But now I realize one thing - dragons will prevent me from staying alive."

"They want to eat me, they want my life, they don't want me to be alive in this world."

Sieg clenched his hands tightly with such force that he almost crushed the silver sword in his hand. His face was gradually covered by a shadow: "In this case... I have no choice but to kill them all - in order to live better in this world, in order to not be hindered by these dragons, I must kill them all!"

"Even now, if I still want to practice Dragon Flash here, I must first ensure my own survival. Only by surviving can I master Dragon Flash. And if I want to survive, I must kill all the dragons here."

"——Leave no one behind!"

This is what you have to do in order to survive in this world!

This is also something that must be done in order to continue living between this moment and the next!

【Lord Sieg】

Under Sieg's gaze, Brunhilde's face immediately showed an extremely relieved and happy smile! Her eyes were filled with tears of emotion!

[That's right, Sieg-sama. Thank you very much for understanding everything about the Dragon Slayer System.]

[Please allow me to apologize for my previous rudeness and ignorance. Now is indeed the best time to kill dragons! What you need now is not to retreat, but to continue fighting with countless dragons here and destroy all the dragons within your sight! ]

“AAAArrrrrrr——————!!!”
