In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 13: Dragon

I just had to do it right?

"Hou, it seems you're seeking death? Very well, I can spare some time for a bout. Try not to disappoint."

The dragon knight slowly brandished his long sword once more, and I swear I could see a grin inside his helm.

I just hope this gamble works.

"Ah. Please go easy on this amateur."

I invoke my favorite facade, the "One who appears strong and runs his mouth off, but is actually weak inside" facade.

Making my decision to trademark that someday, I prepare myself and get into position.

Of course, I had no weapons, armor, or any items that could help me..

What else do you expect out of a college student with only a shirt, boxers, and slippers on him?

All I could count on was myself, and..

"I'll support you with my 'Wind' spells! Let's do this together, Kyouya!"

"I would appreciate the help. Just let me get one opening. Whatever happens, let's meet again, Dazel!"

"You seem to have a lot of confidence, for a mere human.."

Almost like saying our goodbyes, triggering a death flag, I prepare to move towards the knight.

That is, until..

"What's happening here!?"

"Kyouya-sama? Is that you?"

Running with heavy steps because of the knight's metal armor, making it all the way here, was a knight with tanned skin, and the other with blonde hair. Yes, they were the people I met first when I made it to the city.

"Elise-san.."

Their names were Gerald and Elise. If I remember correctly, they were part of the 'Order of Royal Knights'. Putting that aside, what were they doing here at this time of night? Maybe, this was all related in some way? Ah, my head hurts from too much thinking. I am so looking forward to relaxation time in the future.

"Ah, it's you! You escaped? Hmm? Tha-that's the artifact we were supposed to guard! Hand it over!"

As soon as Gerald realized it was me, he yelled at me in a condescending tone. He got even angrier when he saw that Dazel was carrying the feather case. So troublesome..

Soon enough, a group of men in armor were seen behind the two. They seemed to be their subordinates.

"More humans? I'm sorry to say but if you want the [Angel's Feather], you shall have to die as well."

As soon as the dragon knight said that, he made his blood lust even stronger, covering everyone in the room.

Some were sweating profusely when faced with that overbearing presence. Others even fainted to the ground. This just got a whole lot harder. Thanks for nothing.

I just wanted this day to be over already.

"Kyouya-sama, please stand back! This person is dangerous!"

Ah, Elise-san, you are a saint. Even though I had been convicted and accused of being a follower of the dark god, you still prioritize shielding the weak from evil. Impressive fortitude, but I can't let her die in vain either.

My <<Intuition>> skill was still ringing in my head even until now, even though I was ignoring it. There was no change even if the knights had arrived already. Which meant that this guy was still looking at us like ants.

The privilege of the strong is unfair indeed.

I signal towards Dazel to start casting his spells, and I push Elise-san who was about to get cut in half without even realizing it.

*Crash*

In the place where Elise-san stood, a fissure was traveling towards the south wall. Such unreasonable strength.

"No, you can't defeat this guy, Elise-san. Nor can any of your subordinates combined. This guy is on a whole other level."

"Eh? Kyouya-sama! How could you say that when you can't even defeat a goblin!?"

Although that statement from Elise-san stings, it was still true. So I could not refute it. But no matter how much you ridicule me and my weak status, I could tell that even all of you working together would only result in needless casualties.

This was because one of the skills I learned at the same time as <<Quicken>> was <<Estimate>>. This skill enabled me to get a rough estimate on anything I see or sense, be it strength or the number of grains in a rice bag. It was pretty useful in terms of gauging the opponent's strength. But let's just put that aside for now.

We've gotten slightly off-track, but let's begin attacking now. It seems Dazel had finished his long chat in the time I was thinking as well. Right on time. Now, let's do this..

"......ravage the enemy..<<Multiple Wind Cyclones>>"

From out of thin air, in the place where Dazel outstretched his palm, three spinning gusts of wind were moving towards the dragon knight. Each time the wind grazed the wall, a number of stone debris would fly out. It was really sharp.

I quickly follow right behind the three tornadoes that were as sharp as chainsaws with <<Quicken>>

Right as they were about to reach the knight..

"Grandiore.."

Calmly saying a word towards his side, he did not move an inch.

But suddenly..

*Roar*

A shock wave from the opened mouth of the giant dragon, who was lying dormant in place until now, dispersed the wind cyclones into a friendly breeze in an instant. I almost forgot about this guy..

I wasn't facing one enemy, but in fact, I was facing two.

The large dragon's roar seemed to have did more than dispel the wind. It also seemed to have made the knight subordinates faint in fear. Even I was afraid. If I didn't have <<Fear Resistance>> raised to level 3, I wouldn't even have strength to stand.

Right as I was retreating a step because the initial plan failed, my <<Intuition>> skill suddenly ringed louder than ever before.

This only happens when I was this close to death.

When I looked up, the tip of the blade was already near my face. There was no hope of dodging this, even with both movement skills combined. I didn't even have time to invoke them as I was surprised at my own carelessness.

In the next moment, blood was dripping onto the stone cold floor..
