Returnee’s Life Report

Tiamat (4)

===================

The man returned with a sword in his hand.

[ Is that why you were away? ]

It was a great sword, indeed. However, to Tiamat, the sword was not enough for him to fight with her.

Tiamat was a ruler who had observed a lot of legendary weapons.

To fight with her, the man should have brought at least a mythical sword. How arrogant. [ It’s not even laughable. ]

Tiamat was confident. At the same time, she was outraged as well.

She knew her skill well. Despite that, he’d said that he would teach a way to kill the dragon. How arrogant was that?!

Dragons were considered the strongest living creatures. In addition to this, she was one of the best of her kind.

She then shouted, [ Requiescat in pace! ]

The ground was shaking. The land and aura were moving as if they were waves of the ocean. That happened in less than a second.

Tiamat then shouted again.

[ Insolati dies! ]

The land was red now, burning like lava. The temperature was extremely high.

She thought the man did not have any way to block that. Tiamat knew that this man was just bluffing.

All she had to do was cast the last spell.

[ Gaud… ]

“Gaudete” was the spell for explosions. That would destroy the entire mountain. But Tiamat could not finish the words.

She heard something being stabbed.

She could feel pain in her throat. The land had gone back to usual. Tiamat looked down. The man who called himself Lee Hwan did not have his sword in his hand. He was saying something from inside her head.

“The four times I killed a dragon, I noticed that everyone had their vocal cords in the same position.”

Her voice would not come out. The sword was pressing on her vocal cords. Tiamat was nervous. It was the first time she had experienced such a feeling.

“Every dragon I faced relied on such skills. That’s why I could learn this method easily.” Tiamat tried to shake Lee Hwan off. However, Hwan persistently stayed by holding her horns.

He then said, “Tell me where the other dragons are. I know there are more.”

Tiamat stopped moving. She sensed that Lee Hwan was ready to kill her. She tried to answer his question, but her voice did not come out.

However, that was already enough response.

“Through your response, I can see that there are more. And I suppose they are related to the system.”

Tiamat then sensed that Hwan was not on her body. He pulled the sword from her throat. That allowed her to speak again. He was confident enough to do so.

[ You filthy humans… ]

Lee Hwan smirked.

“You may cast the spell without any words. Go on and try. It’ll be no use.”

While Hwan was smiling, Tiamat shouted, [ Hell Fire! ]

***

I grabbed the sword tightly. It was not a bad sword. It could endure more than twenty times my strength.

I slowly looked up.

Behind Tiamat, there was a large ball of flame. It was more like a miniature sun. With that spell, this entire mountain would disappear.

As soon as it started heading to land, however, I grabbed the sword tightly. The red aura was there for reinforcement.

Then, I swung it.

Tiamat was shocked to see that. I bet many others would show the same response. Tiamat’s spell had gotten split in half and disappeared.

[ …What? ]

She was shocked indeed. That was why she did not even attempt to block my consecutive attack.

I swung my sword, and it cut Tiamat’s wing.

Tiamat screamed. I kicked her, and she was pushed back and collided with the wall.

Despite that, I noticed that Tiamat was quite persistent as well. Even with that, she opened her mouth and cast her spell.

[ Fiat Lux. ]

It was like a laser from a sci-fi movie. Tiamat created five of them to attack me. To be honest, it was hard to survive that attack. Only a few had, but I was one of them. I swung my sword to cut one of the lasers. It soon disappeared.

I accelerated just like Yoo Ee-Na would do. I reached Tiamat and swung the sword, cutting through all five lasers. Tiamat was blinking her eyes as if she doubted the scene.

I smiled and threw the sword. It struck Tiamat’s throat again. In addition, it pushed her back to the mountain and made her collide with it.

I rushed toward her and punched her throat.

Then, I punched her again. I approached her head and proceeded to kick it.

Crash! Her head started to collapse.

She couldn’t counter my attacks. Though she attempted to use her wings to ambush me, it was no use.

With a red aura covering my arm, I punched. Her eye exploded.

Then I swung the sword. Her other wing was cut.

She then screamed loudly. I suppose her vocal cords had quickly recovered. I stepped forward.

I looked at her unhurt eye and asked, “Are you still hurt?”

Reflected in her one eye, I could see that I was smiling.

***

Tiamat wanted to scream, but her vocal cords were broken. She wanted to ask him what he had done to her. That bastard. Tiamat growled.

“Are you still hurt?”

He definitely was looking down on her. A human was looking down on a dragon!

Tiamat frowned. The man was extremely strong. Even though her voice was gone, she could still cast the spells. However, Hwan was negating all of them when Tiamat attempted to do so.

When she tried to cast the magic, he punched her.

That was why she could not resist properly. To her, the man was more like a monster. This guy could hunt down spellcasters extremely well.

Tiamat tried to make an opening for herself. She used her tail to ambush him.

Lee Hwan dodged it, but it was enough. Her true intention had been to distract Hwan. Tiamat took the sword from her throat.

Quickly, Tiamat cured herself and transformed into human form. She knew where Hwan was now.

“You b**tard!”

Lee Hwan frowned.

“Mh, such language.”

He then swung his fist. Tiamat had thought it would be easier to fight him in close combat, but she was wrong.

The punch hit her. Tiamat coughed.

***

Tiamat’s side was hit, and it made her cough. She was bleeding.

I grabbed her throat and swung my fist again. Then I grabbed her hair and made consecutive attacks.

“@#^#$%&$&%*”

Once more.

Crash! With that sound, the attack hit. Tiamat was losing her power. Her bones were crushed.

Tiamat barely touched my face. She tried to push it, but it did not affect me. Tiamat’s eyes were fluttering.

“You were hiding your power?”

That made me laugh. It was a laughable question.

I had never used my full power on Earth. Tiamat was even weaker than the Western Emperor, the last opponent that I had faced in Valhalla.

Also, it wasn’t that I’d hidden my power. It was her who had gotten weaker. She’d been weakened since I hit her too much.

I exerted more force on her.

“What gives you the right to hit my brother?”

“…Ugh…”

“I’m the only one who has the right to do so. How dare you?”

Tiamat tried to resist, but it did not affect me.

“You… Monster…”

I looked at her closely and said one thing.

“I’ll punch you five times. If you can endure that, I’ll spare you.”

The winner had already been decided; Tiamat and I both knew that. And so, I made a suggestion. I then grabbed her horn and clenched my fist. Then I smacked her.

“One.”

I punched her face. It was bleeding all over. I suppose she screamed as well, though I could not hear it.

I punched her again. She lost most of her power.

Then I swung my fist again.

“Three.”

She let her arms drop. Tiamat stared at me and asked, “…Whose side are you on?” At first, I thought this was some sort of bullshit.

“Side?”

“Are you allies of the Angels or the Demons?”

While I was wondering, Tiamat smirked. “…Neutral? Then I suppose you’ll die soon.”

I laughed. Her last words were like a puzzle. ‘Don’t try to mess with me.’ With that thought in my mind, I punched again.

“Four.”

That made Tiamat collapse. Her body wasn’t moving; she was dead. Then I made the last attack.

“Five.”

With that, shockwaves were generated. It broke all the drones and skills of hunters. I slowly stood up.

My, Tiamat was dead now.

***

Hwan literally smashed the dragon. It had been trying to do something, but whenever the dragon attempted, Hwan smashed it.

Through the screen, people could see that the dragon was shocked.

To be honest, awakeners had much more power than ordinary people. Some might have even said that it was unfair.

If this were a game, users would complain to GM.

The man had just smashed a large dragon with his bare hands. That was literally impossible, even for awakeners. However, that man had just done so.

Yet, he was the brother of Lee Ho.

Lee Ho was a hero. That made people think Hwan was like his brother. That’s why everyone cheered for him.

Eventually, Tiamat had died.

Every awakener could see that through messages from the system.

Yet, the messages were quite strange.

[The tutorial has ended.]

[ Neutral Planet #24: Earth is ready to join the War between Angel and Demon.]

What kind of bullshit was this?
