Amazing Village Building

Chapter 269: Please spare my lifeeeeeeee!!!

<<To think you have cornered me this muchwell fought, humans.>>

I suddenly heard a voice in my head.

It was a similar sensation to whenever Satin the former bandit contacted me via his [Telepathy] Gift.

Selen followed with a question.

What, whose voice was that just now? Luke, is that a skill of yours?

No, it wasnt me. Did everyone else hear it too?

Apparently, it wasnt just me that heard the voice.

However, even when we tried to look around, we couldnt find anyone who could be the owner of the voice.

In the first place, there was no one else here in the park that was flying high up in the sky.

The only other one here besides us was the dragon pinned by the two halves of the park.

Wait, can it be

<<It was I, human.>>

Ehhhh!? The dragon talked!?

It was technically a telepathic message, but the fact remains that it could communicate.

<<This is nothing for me.>>

The dragon then snorted as though to brag.

Ive heard that Ancient Dragonswhich are dragons that have lived for a long, long timewere highly intelligent and that some can even communicate with people, but even so

Philia-san relayed that information to us, but she herself was in denial of the possibility that it could be true.

<<That is correct. I am an Ancient Dragon. I am a being that is vastly different from the average dragon. And yet, youve proven yourselves to be my equal. For that, I commend you all.>>

Didnt it just say that weve cornered it?

<<To reward you for that accomplishment, Ill let all of you go. Kukuku, arent I magnanimous?>>

This time, the dragon was even acting like it had the upper hand.

This dragons quite haughty, isnt it?

Lets pay it no mind. Lets just take it down, Captain Selen.

Theres a chance that an Ancient Dragon tastes better than young dragons!

Bringing back the dragons meat was the only thing in the hunters minds right now.

<<Wait, wait a second! Im going to fight seriously if you insist that we continue, you know? You dont want to fight me when Im serious! Once I go all-out, youll be pulverized in an instant, you hear!?>>

The obviously flustered dragon threated us as much as it could.

Hmp, Id like to see you try.

<<Y-you sure!? Im giving you a chance to flee, you know!? If you pass this up, only death awaits you! So, are you sure? Are you really, really sure!?>>

Shut up and get on with it already.

<<N-no, Ill wait one minute! Ill give you all one minute! Im rarely this kind, you know!? So, think hard before you proceed! But dont take too long because Im only giving you a minute!>>

no matter how I looked at it, the dragon was clearly just bluffing.

We dont need a minute. Lets get this started.

Selen flatly rejected the dragons kind offer, and was about to start attacking the dragon again.

<<Kukuku, even after I gave you a chance, this is what you choose. This is why humans are so foolish. Very well, take this, my ultimate move>>

The dragon then opened its mouth wide.

It seemed like it was about to do another breath attack.

Moreover, given its confidence just now, we thought that this one might be more powerful than the one before. As such, we all braced ourselves.

And then

<<I surrenderrrrrrrrr!!! So, please! Please spare my lifeeeeeeee!!!>>

Its surrendering so profusely!

<<I beg you! Please, please spare me! Besides, my meat doesnt taste good at all! T-thats the truth!>>

In a complete reversal of attitude, the dragon was now desperately begging for its life.

In reaction, everyone looked at their fellow hunters.

even though its a dragon, its kinda pitiful, aint it?

Besides, when you think about it, were a little bit at fault for intruding on its turf.

Youve got a point.

Oh, theyre reconsidering? Well, I dont really mind since eating a dragon which can communicate is a bit, yeah

Very well, guess we dont have any other choice then

<<O-oh, youre letting me go!?>>

The dragons eyes were sparkling when Selen finished her sentence.

Well try to give you as painless of a death as possible.

Eh!?

Well also cook and eat every part of you, making sure theres no waste.

Well also say itadakimasu!, the phrase that the chief taught us, before eating you.

Hmm, hmm.

So, you didnt change your minds at all about eating the dragon!? Also, saying that phrase doesnt excuse anything, you know! Its not some kind of get-out-of-jail card!

<<Noooooooooooooooo!! I dont want to be devourrreeeddddddddd!!>>
