Chapter 18: Chapter 18: The Secret of the Little Sister
This was a arduous and protracted battle. A protracted war that lasted for several weeks.
It began with the destructive white light that erupted from underwater, to the young dragon being besieged by a group of water monsters and having to flee to the shore in a hurry. And finally, to carefully launching surprise attacks, and even finding opportunities to lure these water monsters away from the water surface to create opportunities for a kill.
Shiroryu spent a whole week to kill the first water monster. This sounded a bit pathetic, and even a bit of a drop in the "White Dragon God's" prestige—but the young dragon didn't care so much. He only knew that this was a life-and-death battle. And in the very end, it was him who was smiling on the shore, gnawing on the flesh and blood of those water monsters.
Then came the second, the third.
With the increase of hunting experience and the gradual proficiency of combat skills, Shiroryu's speed in hunting these water monsters became faster and faster. He had been able to shorten it from one in seven days to one in three days, one in two days. And on the last day, he killed three at the same time.
But that was not by his own strength—he had found a temporary helper, a man who liked to fight water monsters naked in the lake.
...
Kay had been in a bit of a bad mood recently. Logically speaking, this was an emotion that should absolutely not appear in a "third-rate knight" like him—after all, he was very good at finding fun in town. Whether it was going to the tavern for a drink or bragging with pretty girls, these were things he was extremely good at and very willing to do.
But for some reason, in the recent period of time, Kay had shown little interest in such things.
"Brat, I'm taking Al away for a while. I'm leaving the house to you! You'd better not burn the house down!"
His foul-tempered old man had taken away his recently abnormal little sister, but had left him alone at home—in the past, this was absolutely impossible. "Even if it's knight training, they should have taken me with them."
Please forgive his rudeness. But in Kay's eyes, his aged father had long since reached the age of retirement—both his strength and reaction speed had degenerated to a level not much stronger than a normal person, with only his rich combat experience maintaining his final dignity. But in the face of an absolute gap in strength, such experience was simply not worth mentioning.
"Go on, go on, go on. I'd like to see what you can do for a phantom thing."
Kay was actually not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart, and it was a kind of associative intelligence. Even if no one had ever told him any truth, he had, with his innate talent, observed and deduced many things: for example, the fact that Artoria was most likely the illegitimate daughter of a certain king. And the fact that Artoria was secretly hiding something in the deep mountains.
Eh, since we're talking about the thing Artoria was hiding in the deep mountains, and that girl happens to not be here, and won't be back for several months...
"Then does that mean..."
Remembering the "secret" that could make Artoria, such a "serious" person, act so furtively, the knight who had just been lying in bed, looking bored, suddenly became very interested.
This was like a locked drawer in a little sister's room. Who wouldn't want to open it and see what's inside?
"Alright, let's go for a spin in the forest!"
This was a knight who always had bold ideas and was extremely action-oriented. After just a simple tidying up, Kay went alone into the forest that was full of danger to outsiders, but was like home to him.
But he did not find the valley where Shiroryu was hiding. This was related to his natural attributes—this knight, who had a high affinity with the "water" element, was looking for the "treasure" hidden by his little sister along the stream. This was also a very smart approach.
In Kay's mind, if his little sister was really hiding something alive in this mountain forest, then its location must be not far from a water source.
—He automatically ignored the possibility that Artoria was raising a flying bird, which would choose its nest on a cliff.
"If she's raising a pet like an eagle or a falcon, there's no need to hide it so strictly, right?"
In fact, at this moment, Kay had already roughly guessed that his little sister had not saved someone she shouldn't have—but was rather raising a "can't be seen," "very dangerous" pet, which was why she had hidden it in the uninhabited mountain forest, and even had to secretly bring some food to feed it every night.
He had also prepared himself to see a "monster."
Fairy? Thunderbird? Unicorn?
He fantasized about the appearance of that monster in his mind—but then shook his head. He felt that these rare and uncommon creatures did not seem to match his always-clumsy little sister very well. His little sister should raise a cooler, more ferocious pet... no, it should be said, a "partner."
"If she doesn't have one, I'll catch one for her as a gift for her becoming a king."
With this thought, Kay searched in the deep mountains for a whole half a month. During this period, he also killed many magical beasts—including a wild boar that could breathe fire, a coyote that could launch wind blade attacks, and even a group of Saxons who had strayed into the deep mountains... but he still did not find the creature he was looking for, the kind of creature that was "cool," and also mixed with some "ferocity" and "domineering."
Then, on the morning of the seventeenth day, he finally passed through the dense forest and came to the edge of a vast lake. A little tired, he had just taken off his shirt and was about to jump into the lake to wash up, when he unexpectedly encountered a thrilling scene that he would never forget in his life:
A strange-looking, blue-and-white creature that looked like a lizard with a pair of wings was flying leisurely at a low speed half a meter above the water surface. And under the water surface, a long black shadow was stirring restlessly.
"Watch out—"
Kay subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to stop the impending disaster. But it was already too late. The monster lurking underwater seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched a fatal attack on this young dragon that had repeatedly provoked them.
But Shiroryu seemed to be completely unprepared, and only flew upwards "in a panic" when the long neck of the water monster emerged from the water—as if trying to dodge the water monster's attack.
"It's impossible."
"It's impossible to dodge."
Kay was also very familiar with this kind of water monster. He knew very well how strong this water monster's predatory ability was. As long as it was targeted by it, it would definitely be torn apart by its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.
"ROAR—"
The water monster that rushed out of the water had already opened its bloody mouth, completely enveloping the young dragon. Seeing this scene, Kay thought this little guy was dead for sure. But in the next instant, when the white light full of destructive aura suddenly shot out from the young dragon's mouth, directly pierced through the water monster's upper jaw, and made a bowl-sized hole in its head,
"Holy shit!"
When the loser's corpse fell heavily into the water, stirring up a white wave, the young knight finally realized what the creature that looked like a "flying lizard" and was circling in the sky was.
"A dragon?"
"A young dragon?"
"Damn... this is so cool!"
