"The Talented Dragon Hides Its Claws" ~ The Eldest Son of the Baron Family, Called Useless, is Actually One of the World's Strongest ~ - Episode 14

The entire battlefield was engulfed in purple lightning due to the lightning strike.

This place is already a completely different world from just a moment ago.

Cold sweat drips down the leader’s cheek.

“Who the hell are you?”

“As you know,”

“You’re lying. It feels like I’m fighting a monster in human form. Especially that aura… it looks just like the ‘dragon’ I saw from a distance long ago.”

“Indeed, the names are the same.”

“They say a skilled hawk hides its talons, and they were right. Who would have thought such a monster was hiding in the countryside? If I had known this from the start, I wouldn’t have participated… damn, this is the worst feeling ever.”

“What a coincidence. I’m feeling terrible right now too.”

The leader enveloped himself in wind magic with all his might.

“There’s no point in whining. I’ll bet everything on the next strike.”

“Hoh. Not running away, huh?”

“Leaving my comrades behind and running away would be a disgrace to a man. Even though I usually act like a fool, I still have that much pride, you know?”

“……I see.”

Here, Ryu’s magical power increased once more.

Despite not using any magic at all, “black lightning” surged across the battlefield.

It will also affect the Arden army, which is watching from afar.

“Lord Ryu’s magical power is even greater…!”

“Uh-oh, I can’t breathe.”

“Damn it, the weapon is electrified and I can’t hold it…”

Even standing is a struggle.

“In honor of your courage, I’ll show you a special magic as a memento for the afterlife.”

“Special magic… you say?”

For this guy, even the lightning strike earlier doesn’t count as anything special…

Rough black lightning envelops Ryu’s entire body.

And,

“Black Armor – Thunder God Takeminakata”

The god of thunder, said to be from the eastern island nation, has once again set foot in this world.

“……”

Even the leader of the enemy Bl00d Feast was captivated by this mysterious and destructive sight.

This isn’t a magic that can be easily dismissed with just the word “genius.” The amount of magic power is also incomprehensible, but the craziest part is the magic control technique used to manage it. Despite still being a kid, what kind of hellish situations have you gone through to master it…?

When Ryu takes a step forward, the earth trembles, and when he takes another step, the atmosphere quakes.

Lightning pours down from the overcast sky, and the forest screams.

“Here we go, Bl00d Feast. Get ready.”

“Hah. Mind your own business, you monster.”

If I were to compare them, it would be like the Wind Demon and the Thunder God.

The one who moved first was… the former.

“Whoaahhhhhh！！！！！！”

That day, the bl00d feast vanished from this world.

When the battle ended, the sky, which had been darkened like a storm until then, cleared up immediately, and the sun appeared as if nothing had happened.

Ryu also dispels the magic and returns to his usual form.

With a light step, I turned around to the Arden army, who were still frozen, unable to grasp the situation.

“About the current battle, it’s strictly off the record. Understood?”

Then, even though they couldn’t respond, everyone nodded quickly.

By the way, the treatment of the White Wolf members has already been completed, and they were watching Ryu’s battle together with him from the middle.

Yawning and dragging his feet as he walks over, Ryu catches Suzaku’s eye, and Suzaku quietly murmurs.

“Lord Ryu… what on earth…”

When the Ardennes army from the forest side, who had regained their sanity, finally set out on their way home, on the roadside side.

“……”

“Si, Silver… you bastard…!!”

A great sword was pierced through the torso of the Mantesa Knight Commander.

The place where Silver stabbed the sword was the heart.

As a result, the enemy army’s supreme commander soon perished, and the Arden army raised a victory cry.

Just in time, the sky clears, and the sunlight beautifully illuminates Arden’s armor.

“We did it, Captain Silver.”

“Ah. But the work is far from over. Stick with me until the end.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll follow you anywhere.”

The vice-captain, while hydrating, asks Silver.

“By the way, is the forest side okay? There was quite a bit of lightning over there.”

“I’ll say it again, there is no problem. That person is on the forest side.”

“But, Ryuu-sama, you’re still only fourteen, right?”

“Vice Captain, listen carefully.”

“?”

“Don’t judge people by their age or appearance. ‘The real ones deliberately wear the guise of ordinary people.’ Like the imperial sorcerers who are hiding somewhere on the continent.”

“……!”

The vice-captain was overwhelmed by Silver’s indescribable presence.

Silver rides and raises his voice.

“Annihilate every last one of the fleeing enemy soldiers! We will proceed to seize the Mantesa Baron family estate!”

“Ha!”

In the end, by the time the Mantesa Baron family was subdued, it was already evening.

By the way, when Ryu returned to the mansion, he sent the adventurers back to the guild and devoted 20% of the Arden Knights to the defense of the main estate.

That night.

My younger sister Lena was sound asleep in our mother Iris’s room.

Outside that room, Ryu was leaning against the door and going through the report.

“……”

Hmm, it’s mostly going according to plan. As expected of Silva.

Sebas came there.

“Ryuu-sama, thank you for your hard work today.”

“Same goes for you, Sebas.”

“No, no, I was just waiting at the mansion.”

Sebas says that, but in reality, waiting for long hours by the side of what needs to be protected is often more burdensome on both the mind and body than heading to the battlefield. Ryu understands this well, so he feels he can’t hold his head high in front of Sebas.

“Well, eventually Silver will bring back the head of Baron Mantesa. Until then, we won’t let our guard down and will strengthen our defenses.”

Understood.

At the same time, outside the mansion…

“Hey”

“Hmm, what’s wrong?”

“I wonder who Ryuu-sama really is.”

“Shh. That topic is off-limits, you know.”

“Sorry, sorry.”

“However, Lord Ryu during the day was truly amazing… truly…”

“With this, Arden is safe, right? I’m glad I joined the knight order.”

“Ah, I agree.”
