Sixth Tactic of Slaying a Dragon: “Defeat Enemies Along the Way”

After applying the Wings of God spell onto myself, I pushed myself to sprint for half an hour before I found the rest of the party.

I thought they would be further away, but they were actually surprisingly close by… This nearly made me burst into a cold sweat all over. If I had exchanged words with Ecilan for a second longer, they might have already caught up with me.

However, as I neared their location, I realized that they were taking a break. The campfire looked like it had been burning for quite a while already.

If they’ve already gotten so close to me, why didn’t they continue to chase me?

Although my heart was filled with suspicion, I cast Light Shield over myself, and then I tried to stay vigilant so that I could prepare to run at any moment.

Contrary to my expectations, no one was anything like the “graceful, handsome, and formidable holy knights” from Sybil’s continuous chants. Instead, all of them were lying around on the ground in a disorderly fashion; leaning on branches, directly sleeping on the dirt, or simply using one of their companion’s calves as a pillow. Still, I guess anyone can tell from their postures that… they’re extremely tired.

All of the holy knights looked identical: dirty, tired, and sleeping like dead pigs. I couldn’t even tell apart Blaze Knight from the rest of them!

Also, they haven’t even assigned a single holy knight to keep watch during the night!

Only Yuna and Sybil were still awake. The two of them sat in the center, amongst the holy knights who lay scattered like leaves on the ground. They did look slightly fatigued themselves, but when compared to the knights next to them, they appeared the most energetic.

Still, regardless of how energetic they may appear, it can’t be that the holy knights assigned two outsiders to be the lookouts while they sleep?

The scene before me had me in utter disbelief. If not for my concern for Sybil’s and Yuna’s lives, I would have just gathered a large amount of lightning element, sending down a few strikes of lightning. Even “a god walking on this earth” might ascend to heaven from such an act.

Upon walking a few steps closer, I noticed a thick stench of sweat drifting toward me. It was terribly sour and smelly, very similar to the smell of decaying food. It’s a wonder how Sybil and Yuna can still sit right in the middle of them like that.

At this moment, Sybil seemed to have noticed me. She looked bewildered and uncertain as she turned her head toward me, appearing hesitant about whether or not to make a sound. Despite her reaction, not a single person from the floor of holy knights noticed at all. On top of that, not one of them moved an inch.

As I walked out from under the tree, Sybil’s eyes widened. I quickly gestured with my hand to tell her to stay quiet, and I even dispelled the holy element shrouding my face.
