Chapter 03: Two Dragons Supper Time (Ch 03)

It’s another moonless night.

As usual, after packing up everything, the blonde girl sneaked out of the house and ran towards the cliff.

The journey was smooth, and there was no significant threat along the way – and, for some reason, we could occasionally see the corpses of some small animals in the bushes.

For example, rabbits, for example, hedgehogs.

The corpses of these animals showed no signs of fatal injuries, except that their eyes were wide open and their bodies were stiff and straight, as if they had died from excessive fear.

When the doubtful girl reached the top of the cliff, the scene before her surprised her even more.

I saw that the platform, which was originally considered to be open, was now occupied by a bloody giant bear corpse. Under the cover of night, it was like a black hill standing here abruptly.

And the blue and white baby dragon, which in her eyes was “harmless” and “somewhat cute”, was now sitting on the body of the giant bear, tilting its head and poking left and right with its claws – it seemed that it wanted to cut the body of the giant bear, but didn’t know where to start.

“You did this?”

The girl opened her mouth in disbelief, looking at the huge bear that had died of excessive blood loss. Then she looked at the young dragon that was standing on the giant bear’s corpse. It looked a little messy, with three shocking claw marks on its body, but it was still full of energy.

She could feel a faint magical power coming from the corpse – which meant that this giant bear was not even a “beast” in the ordinary sense, but a magical beast with the blood of some mysterious creature flowing in its body.

A monster like this is still a dominant force in the forest. Even a militia would not dare to provoke it… But this young dragon in front of him could actually kill such a monster? How did it do it?

“Ahhh——”

Hearing the girl’s question, the young dragon turned back with some pride and dissatisfaction.

The look of disdain mixed with pride made the girl realize that the little dragon standing in front of her, standing on the corpse of the giant beast, was not the “cute little guy” she had imagined.

“It’s a dragon.”

“A real dragon.”

Speaking of which, this girl – no, it should be said that the existence named Altria Pendragon is actually a real dragon.

However, because she was in the last period of the Age of Gods and had lived with humans for too long, this female red dragon with a human appearance had no idea what a real dragon should be like.

“They are natural rulers, a fantasy species that uses absolute power to suppress all rebellious wills in the world.”

Therefore, even if it is a young dragon that has just hatched and is less than two months old, it has the courage to show its claws to the forest overlord and the strength to defeat it.

“Oh?”

“Well, you are right. I can indeed defeat this kind of guy.”

“Ahhh——”

“Hey, are you inviting me to eat with you? That’s not very appropriate… This is your prey after all.”

“Ahhhh!”

“Okay, okay, I won’t be polite then!”

…

With the addition of Altria, Shirataki’s efficiency in splitting the giant bear was greatly improved.

The exquisite swordsmanship, which was supposed to be used to kill the enemy, was very suitable for the corpse of this giant bear. The sharp blade wrapped in the wind element could easily cut through the thick and solid bear skin, revealing the flesh and bones inside.

“I see.”

“She has human appearance…so the sword becomes her claw.”

The young dragon watched Altria’s every move with some curiosity, and tried to imitate her way of using the wind element – but unfortunately, it failed, and those overly lively wind elements could not condense on his claws at all.

This is probably because its attribute is [light], not [wind]?

“This bear skin is pretty good. It has a certain degree of magic resistance… If I can find a craftsman who knows magic forging techniques, I should be able to make it into a nice set of soft armor.”

“As for this meat… why not add some salt and stew it?”

to be honest.

The most valuable part of the giant bear’s body is actually its blood, followed by its fur.

The most useless thing, which can even be called a “side effect”, is its meat.

Unlike the meat of ordinary wild beasts, the meat of Warcraft is tough, dry, and unpalatable, and even contains toxins – generally speaking, it is not considered as a food ingredient.

But fortunately, standing here are two real dragons, not any other creatures.

“Even if it’s the meat of a monster, as long as it’s properly processed, it can fill your stomach!”

This is Altria’s wise words.

This dragon girl, who had an unusually large appetite but had never been satisfied since birth, finally had a chance to truly fill her stomach at this moment—even though it was unpalatable monster meat, the energy she absorbed from it was substantial.

“Burp~”

The two dragons are busy from dusk to dawn, and also eat from dusk to dawn.

And when Altria touched her bulging stomach and realized she couldn’t eat anymore, the giant bear, which was originally huge in size and weighed about four or five hundred kilograms, still had three quarters of its food left.

“How long can I eat this?”

Artoria, who was already tired from eating, narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the white light rising in the sky. A tired yet happy smile appeared on her face.

This was the first time in her life that the blonde girl realized that eating could also make her feel tired.

“Ahhh——”

“Hey, let me take all the remaining meat? Why? Aren’t you going to eat it?”

“Ahhhhh——”

“Because we are going to catch new prey today, we don’t need this stale food? Okay, okay, then you should be careful.”

“Ah——”

Altria looked at the high-spirited young dragon in front of her with a rather gratified look, as if she was watching her naughty child gradually becoming successful.

——I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

She always felt that this little dragon seemed a little bigger than a few days ago?
