[He is a powerful, gentle, and respected warrior.]
[But I think he's more like a timid guy.]
[I don't deny his timidity.]
[But, just as he has been protecting the Village for three years.]
[He also doesn't lack the courage needed to protect.]
The sky quietly brightened.
Although the explosive sound lasted for the entire night.
But Fern still naturally woke up, opening her beautiful purple eyes.
"Chirp chirp?"
"Chirp chirp chatter!"
Sparrows flew lightly outside the window, making chirping sounds.
After taking a deep breath, Fern woke up Frieren.
They should set off to find Stark.
Below the mountain gorge, the red-haired boy stood panting, holding a large axe.
The same as what Frieren, Fern, and Yulian saw when they came before.
It seemed different again.
Looking at his back, I always vaguely felt that he seemed to have made some great determination.
"How have you considered it?"
Frieren glanced lightly at the sky-mark-like thing that had increased on the mountain gorge and asked softly.
"Frieren, do you know?"
Stark faced the mountain gorge without turning back.
The breeze blew his flowing red bangs, and he spoke slowly.
"When I came here, people were always frowning and full of worries every day..."
"Living in fear of the dragon."
Stark lowered his head, looking at his calloused hands.
"So I desperately, constantly practiced martial arts..."
"I told myself, I must have enough strength, I must protect them well..."
"And now they are all smiling very happily."
Stark had no expression on his face.
"They all said it was thanks to my presence that the Village was protected and they were protected..."
"But I clearly didn't do anything."
"Everything was just thanks to that terrifying Magic dragon changing its mind and not attacking the Village."
Stark turned around, facing Frieren.
"So, Frieren, do you know?"
"I want to protect this Village."
Stark's face showed a bitter smile.
"You want us to help you defeat the Red Mirror Dragon?"
Frieren spoke, full of calmness and indifference.
This coward, no!
Mr. Stark is actually just as Mistress Frieren said...
Fern's purple eyes were full of disbelief.
Yulian's eyes were also full of shock.
He knows that Stark doesn't understand his own strength very well, but hasn't he ever thought about why the Red Mirror Dragon always sleeps during the day?!
"Yes, as long as you help me..."
"Thirty seconds."
Frieren interrupted Stark and spoke lightly.
"If you hold off the dragon for thirty seconds, I can instantly kill it."
"Thirty seconds?"
Stark's lips curled into a smile.
"Frieren!"
"That's a dragon!"
"Is it possible for me to hold him off for thirty seconds alone?!"
"I will definitely die, Frieren!"
"Does it have to be me, Frieren!"
Stark cried out and hugged Frieren's leg again.
"Uh..."
Fern's lips twitched, and the silence was deafening!
Seeing this, Frieren and Fern couldn't help but glance at Yulian beside them.
What the heck!
Yulian felt uneasy from their gaze and pointed to himself uncertainly!
"Well, I'm a Mage..."
"A noble Mage."
"Stark..."
Seeing this, Frieren didn't insist, but just glanced at Stark and then at Yulian.
It was as if she was saying: "See, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's that he won't do it." "Don't blame me~"
"Mr. Yulian!"
How could Stark not see Frieren's meaning? He immediately switched the leg he was hugging at light speed.
"Please help me!"
"Mr. Yulian~"
"Wahhh!"
"I'm still young, I don't want to die!"
"Wahhh!"
Stark cried out, hugging Yulian's leg. Yulian felt as if his leg was being held by some terrifying monster, unable to move.
"Stark, let go first."
Yulian pouted and said helplessly.
"No—"
"Wahhh~"
"Mr. Yulian! Aren't we in the same team!"
"Save me Mr. Yulian!"
"Mr. Yulian, why don't you just help him?"
Fern bit her lip.
Yulian looked at Frieren and found that the latter's eyes showed refusal.
As expected, it was the same as he thought.
Does she want to let Stark see his own strength through fighting the dragon?
"Stark."
Yulian gently helped up Stark, who was half-kneeling beside him, hugging his leg and crying profusely.
"Mr. Yulian, did you agree to help me?!"
"I knew you were the best!"
"Twenty-five seconds."
Yulian shook his head.
"If you hold on for twenty-five seconds, I'll take over."
"No..."
Stark pouted, his face full of refusal.
However, this time, all three of them looked at him expressionlessly.
"Whoosh~"
A gentle breeze blew past, and Stark finally made up his mind.
"Twenty-five seconds, right."
After Yulian and Frieren exchanged glances, they nodded gently.
"Okay..."
Stark's expression was calm, as if he was ready to die.
"I might die this time, but please remember my request."
"Even if I die, you must definitely get rid of the dragon."
"This is the only thing I can do for the Village."
The Red Mirror Dragon lay quietly at the bottom of the canyon, sleeping.
Its nearly hundred-meter-long crimson body and sky-covering wings carried an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
"I'm going in."
Stark took the axe from his back.
His gaze was firm as he looked at the Red Mirror Dragon below the mountain.
"Are you really okay?"
"Your hand seems to be shaking."
Fern glanced lightly at Stark and asked calmly.
Yulian's gaze moved from the Red Mirror Dragon to Stark, and he indeed found that Stark's hand was shaking like someone with Parkinson's.
The way it shakes is the same~
Frieren's lips curled slightly.
Looking at the red figure of Stark in front of her, it seemed to overlap with the figure of Eizer.
"Of course, after all, I'm still very scared."
Stark said helplessly, then gritted his teeth and began walking step by step towards the edge of the cliff.
Very scared...
Really very scared...
Stark's heart was beating nervously.
Is he going in?!
Yulian watched Stark's Weiwei raised axe with full concentration.
"Remember, it's twenty-five seconds, okay."
Stark suddenly stopped and looked back at Yulian, his wronged expression almost turning Yulian to stone.
Not cool, man!
Where's your highlight moment?!
"Mm, go ahead."
Frieren answered for Yulian.
"Okay."
After getting an affirmative answer, Stark finally ran quickly and leaped down from the edge of the cliff!
"Lightning Strike!"
The earth-shattering sound followed by a roar!
Although his heart was full of fear!
But the techniques honed through hundreds of thousands of times of practice will not fail you!
Fern's pupils couldn't help but widen as she watched the scene before her.
Dead...
The large axe quietly struck the Red Mirror Dragon's head.
A deathly silence.
The hundreds of meters large, mountain-like, highly dangerous Red Mirror Dragon died just like that...
