Volume 5 Chapter 28: Dragon’s tail

「Saki, Berzelia! Apologies for being late!」

Cattleya, who had been on lookout in another area, heard the roar of the Ouroboros along with Botan and others, and swiftly rushed over to where Saki and Berzelia were.

From what she could see, according to the plan, Gale was fending it off, while Saki and Berzelia were helping evacuate the personnel.

「Is everyone safe?! Anyone wounded?!」

「Some have been hurt, but so far, there are no fatalities. For now, the evacuation of the personnel is complete, and those who can’t move are receiving first aid from the medical guild.」

Saki responded calmly.

「I-I see. How is the battle going?」

「It’s going smoothly. As planned, Absolwent is holding it back over there.」

As she spoke, Saki glanced toward Gale.

There, in the distance, was the figure of an oni, trading blows with the Eight-Eyed Dragon, using nothing but his fists.

「One person is holding off that dragon… To think he really could deliver on that talk.」

The Ouroboros was creating several light whips from its multiple eyes, swinging them around and causing destruction.

However,

「Ugh…!!」

Gale caught and bound the whips, pinning them to the ground.

This feat not only amazed Cattleya but also the personnel watching nearby,

「Those whips alone are powerful enough to easily sweep away a large tree…」

「And yet the Hero of the Fist… is dealing with them using just his body…?!」

Shocked voices arose,

「He’s too durable…!」

「Yes, in terms of resilience, Gale is unmatched among the heroes.」

「His skill in close combat is a good match for the Master. He gotta be able to pull off tricks like this.」

Only Saki and Berzelia didn’t seem surprised by Gale’s actions.

「…Well then, now that the evacuation is complete, let’s join in too, Hydra.」

「Of course. I’m all in, Lysnoir! I can’t afford to be outdone by Gale, and I want the Master to praise me!」
