My name is Smaug, and I am from the Solar Dragon lineage of the noble Dragon race.
Oh right, the Solar Dragon is also a type of demon.
Like many Solar Dragons, my scales are hot and smooth like lava, and my innate near-max Magic resistance allows me to be immune to most Magic attacks.
However, what's different is that my eyes are golden yellow.
Unlike the crimson eyes of my kin, my eyes are the color of molten rock.
From the moment I hatched from the dragon egg, I heard my mother say that I was a born king, destined to roam the four corners of the world!
Even the elders in the clan said I was one in ten thousand, a unique fellow.
So even before I reached adulthood, I left the clan early and embarked on my own path!
When I was hungry, I hunted beasts in the Forest to fill my stomach, and when I was bored, I challenged demons slightly stronger than myself.
I have forgotten how many battles, big and small, I have experienced.
My memories have gradually blurred.
I only remember that I am a king, and in this canyon spanning nearly a hundred miles, I am the undisputed king!
It's just that, it seems, with the appearance of a red-haired figure in my mind, I suddenly felt fear.
It was a beautiful, sunny noon!
As usual, I came to a Village in my territory and played around freely!
But just as I was about to breathe out joyous flames, as I always did!
That man appeared!
A sense of fear spontaneously arose!
I was not his match!
Putting on a brave front while inwardly weak, I brandished my demonic claws and destroyed several houses in front of him!
Trying to scare him away with this!
But facing my intimidation, he didn't give an inch!
The giant axe in his hand even flashed with streaks of cold light!
He looked at me quietly, with no expression on his face!
I knew he was giving me a chance!
So I ran!
I ran without the slightest hesitation!
I thanked him for sparing my life!
But after running away, I realized that man didn't seem particularly terrifying?
He didn't do anything?
It seems I scared myself?
So, under the cover of night, I quietly came to that Village.
I wanted to confirm my guess!
"Rumble!"
I didn't find the presence of that red-haired youth in the Village!
Just hearing the earth-shattering roars, as I flew towards the back mountain, I saw a scene I would never forget in my dragon life!
That youth... holding the giant axe, he fiercely chopped axe after axe into the rocky mountain, which was considerably taller and larger than me!
Each axe seemed to contain supreme power!
Each axe would inevitably cause a terrifying sound like thunder in the air!
Each axe would also inevitably leave marks on the mountain surface like heavenly scars!
"Still not enough..."
I heard his voice.
Indifferent!
Without emotion!
I was terrified and stiff in mid-air, as if even my dragon wings could no longer flap smoothly!
Everything, absolutely everything, was because!
He had sensed my presence!
"Dragon."
He spoke softly.
His gaze towards me carried contempt!
Run!
I didn't hesitate at all!
I did the most shameful thing for the Dragon race!
I tucked my dragon tail, frantically flapped my dragon wings, and fled under the youth's disdainful gaze!
I am a born king.
Fortunately, because I could fly, that guy didn't chase after me.
But as a born king, how could I endure such humiliation!
At night, that earth-shattering roar echoed in my ears, making me sleepless all night!
Then I won't sleep!
I diligently studied Magic, and diligently trained in techniques!
I will definitely make this human who looked down on me pay the price!
Finally, on this day, he came!
The look in his eyes towards me carried fear!
I smiled!
He already felt fear just from me slowly standing up!
But quickly, I became serious!
Because he suddenly leaped down from the cliff!
The giant axe in his hand shone with dazzling light!
"Lightning Strike!"
He roared, seemingly trying to embolden himself!
Is that the name of that technique?
I scoffed.
His stance for exerting force is indeed good, but no matter what, you are just a human!
"Demon..."
Dragon Claw!
My gaze was serious, and I solemnly raised my dragon claw horizontally, preparing to defend!
As long as I block this move, I am confident I can easily defeat him by relying on my size advantage!
But I won't kill him!
I am a born king, I adhere to righteousness.
Last time he spared my life, this time of course I will...
Pain!
Intense pain interrupted my thoughts!
My claw seemed to lose sensation after a bout of intense pain!
Making me extremely surprised!
At the same time, along with losing sensation, I also completely lost control of my entire body...
That's right...
I'm dead...
Did I train hard for three years, only to still be no match for this terrifying human...?
The Solar Dragon stared with its huge dragon eyes, unwilling.
Unfortunately, he could no longer move.
"Frieren!"
"Yulian!"
"That hateful stinky old woman and that hateful Demon!"
"It's been at least thirty seconds, hasn't it!"
"Save me!"
Stark's cries echoed from the bottom of the canyon.
Because his attention was focused enough, Yulian even saw the tears welling up in Stark's eyes.
Not like this, bro...
That Solar Dragon didn't even utter a sound after being instantly killed by your one move?
What are you crying about here!
"Alright!"
Fern raised her staff, preparing to attack, but was stopped by Frieren.
Damn... hag!
Damn... Demon!
A cracking sound rang out.
Frieren and Yulian's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"Hey, you two bastards!"
"Why did you deceive me!"
Stark shouted towards the mountaintop, filled with grief and indignation.
"This is a dragon!"
"How could I possibly fight him alone!"
"Thirty seconds was already my limit!"
"The dragon is already dead!"
Frieren responded loudly.
Dea... d...
Stark turned his head blankly.
Only now did Stark look back blankly at the Solar Dragon that was no longer moving.
Only then did Stark confirm that the Solar Dragon was dead.
I... alone... killed the Solar Dragon?
Stark's face was filled with bewilderment.
The powerful, terrifying, ferocious Solar Dragon just died like this?
"Woohoo~"
"Treasure treasure~"
Using Flight Magic, Frieren slowly landed on the ground and couldn't help but excitedly run towards the Solar Dragon's lair.
"I heard that, 'damn Demon'?"
Yulian, led by Fern's hand, also came down from the air to Stark's side, speaking with an unfriendly expression.
"And Mistress Frieren's 'old hag'..."
Fern stood with her hands on her hips, looking adorably puffed up with anger.
"That's very impolite..."
"Stark."
"Sorry..."
Stark lightly raised his hand and fell into thought.
"Even so, let's keep things separate."
Yulian curved his lips into a smile.
"You did great, Stark."
Yulian patted Stark hard on the shoulder, his face full of praise.
"Thank you..."
Stark smiled as a response to Yulian's praise, then lightly pursed his lips.
His hand couldn't help but go to the scar on his forehead.
"Are you hurt!"
Fern took small steps forward, approached Stark, and asked with concern.
"No, it's not..."
Stark lightly bit his lip, seemingly recalling a bad experience...
