The Former Hero Helps Slay the Dragon

It was easy enough to speak of slaying a dragon, but actually doing it wasn’t so simple. It would be no exaggeration to say that dragons were the strongest of all monsters. Kingdoms would mobilize entire armies to deal with one, partly because of their great value, and partly because to not do so would be to suffer great harm. Champions were powerful too, but they couldn’t match the strength of an entire kingdom. Furthermore, dragons lived for thousands of years and were said to grow in power as they aged. While this wasn’t necessarily too much for a Champion to handle, it was safe to say that seeking help was a wise move.

Allen had never done battle with a dragon. Even in his past life, he had encountered the creatures but never had cause to engage one in combat. Besides, even if he had fought a creature called a “dragon” back then, there was no guarantee the experience would be applicable to the dragons of this world.

Regardless, no matter the opponent, information was his best weapon. At times it could make the difference between life and death. If they were to fight a dragon, it was common sense to gather as much information as possible and make sure that all their preparations were in order. Despite knowing this, however, Allen’s party elected to head directly for the creature.

As much as they wanted to gather information, they couldn’t right now. The locals would normally be their primary source, but these villagers didn’t want to see the dragon defeated, and they knew that was Akira’s goal. There was no chance of them telling her anything. Even if Allen and the others tried to gather information on their own, the result would be the same—the locals had seen them leave with Akira, and while none of them had set foot outside the village, they had watched Akira and Allen spar from afar. If Allen, Beatrice, and Riese now came to them asking for details about the dragon, the villagers would know they had agreed to help Akira. There was no way they would tell them anything—and, as it turned out, they didn’t.

Since the group’s earlier discussions had all been based on supposition, they knew there was a possibility that they were wrong. Returning briefly to the village to gently make inquiries, they found themselves stonewalled. Allen had known his former family was worthless, but this experience gave him a new appreciation for just how awful they truly were. Admittedly, there wasn’t much he could have done about it, but there were others who could act. Hopefully he could convince the people with that power to use it as they should.

Any attempts to prepare for the battle ahead were stymied in much the same way as their attempts to gather intel. Nobody in the village would sell anything to them, and more importantly, there was little there that would be of any use in battling a dragon in the first place.
