"I guess that was a scout dragon," Yahiko said while the monster was falling. "To think that they would even go as far as using a boss to do a scout's work… we really can't underestimate them."
Ryan was having a hard time keeping his mouth closed since he was astonished. He knew that Yahiko was powerful, but not to that extent… Ryan could kill such a dragon in one shot, but he needed some preparation. In any case, Ryan recognized the skill he used. It was Sonic Blade. It was a skill that didn't have many limitations aside from its high cost. So, it was evident that Yahiko could use it constantly without worrying about anything.
"I guess the difference in rank is being shown in combat as well," Femradiel said via Telepathy. "I am glad we aren't his enemy."
"You really are a coward, huh," Ryan said.
"There is no courage in trying to fight an enemy that can weep the floor with your body, that is only madness," Femradiel said.
After they approached the body, Yahiko cut it down into several parts before getting the dragon heart and storing it inside a ring. It was a relief for Ryan to know that Yahiko at least couldn't use Space Manipulation. In any case, instead of leaving the rest of the body behind, Yahiko teleported it back to Tokyo.
"Are the bodies that useful?" Ryan asked. "Those dragons don't look as sturdy as the other ones."
"Azure dragons can become decent pieces of light armor for long-ranged fighters, but we mostly use them for their meat," Yahiko said. "I am sure that you already noticed, but the people of this country value their tradition and culture quite a lot. That is why most of them use traditional armor. Speaking of which, it is kind of strange to see an archer using such a black armor."
"It is the best armor that I found and I also wear it for some other reasons," Ryan said.
Yahiko understood that was a topic Ryan didn't want to talk about it, so he stayed silent after that. While Ryan thanked him for his consideration, he still got annoyed later… Yahiko killed several other azure dragons in one shot. Thus, Ryan was starting to wonder if he really needed any help to clear the dungeon.
"You are not messing with me, are you?" Ryan asked.
"Hahaha, sorry about this," Yahiko said after laughing for a while. "The truth is, it has been a while since I fought a difficult fight, so I wasn't so sure if I could clear this dungeon alone. While I do have some tracking skills, I am kind of slow when it comes to that, I hoped that you would watch my back."
"Despite how much I helped your country, you even have the nerve to use me like that, huh," Ryan said. "Why I am not surprised?"
"I don't think use is the correct word, I think trust is the correct one," Yahiko said. "Besides, I am going to pay for all your services once we finish this job."
