Infinite Stamina - Chapter 64
Two days later, the three arrived in the town of Dragnof.
[The Magic Association]
Haruto and his two companions made their way to the receptionist who had given them the assignment last time.
“You come for cancel the mission?”
Says the receptionist with an understanding look, after all anyone in their right mind wouldn’t dare accept such a suicidal mission.
“No, we’ve already completed the mission, we’ve come for our reward.”
“I understand such a mission isn’t easy, there’s nothing shameful to give up… wait for what you just said.”
“We’ve come to collect our reward.”
The receptionist was speechless, but she nodded slowly and mechanically.
“I don’t think I heard that right, can you repeat that?”
“We’ve already completed the mission, we’ve come for our reward.”
“…”
“Your badges please and a proof.”
The three placed their badges in front of the receptionist, then Haruto removed a crystal ball from the bag Anna was carrying.
The badges had a magical enchantment that allowed the association to verify the results of the holder’s task, and the proof was just a formality for the trust between the two parties.
The receptionist then took their badges and after checking them for a moment, inspected the crystal ball in amazement.
“Dragon Lacrima!”
A Dragon Lacrima is a rare and extremely expensive Lacrima that gives individuals artificial Dragon Slayer Magic when implanted.
The Dragon lacrima was hard to find, you had to kill at least one mid-level dragon to find one, and not all mid-level dragons had one, only high-level dragons had lacrima in their bodies, hence the rarity of the item.
The receptionist took a deep breath of fresh air to calm down, she put her fingers on the counter, then a small magic circle appeared on the counter, the magic circle was connected to the badges of the three a moment before a wooden box materialized.
“Here’s your reward, thanks for helping Dragnof.”
Haruto then took the box and left the association with Anna and Yug under the fanatical gaze of the receptionist. In the room on the second floor of the association, the various magicians coming to take a mission began to get agitated because in front of them the mission of extermination of Lata Peak had just been classified as completed.
“How is that possible?”
“Who did this?”
“It must be a mistake!”
. . . . . .
Six months passed and Haruto, Yug and Anna carried out extremely dangerous missions almost every week.
Their reputations began to take hold among the mages of the continent, calling their group the Three Crazy Dragon Slayers because of the amount of mission they were accomplishing.
Haruto were particularly happy, thanks to the reward of the missions, Haruto was learning magic like a madman, constantly improving his knowledge, he had even managed to implant two dragon lacrima that he had killed before.
But with the good news, the bad ones were never far away, the repulsive force of the world began to become more and more violent, he also felt a sharp pain in his limbs almost every second, but he also had a track to heal himself and protect himself from “chains”.
The first was the magic of time, the second the magic of the soul.
His limbs were not injured physically, but spiritually, the spiritual representation of his limbs by his soul had suffered serious damage.
And no healing magic could heal such wounds, only the lost magic of the soul and time gave him hope.
After completing a new mission, Haruto and his team
After completing a new mission, Haruto and his team returned late at night to Dragnof.
In a tavern south of town Haruto happily drank with Yug, while Anna watched them.
“Kid from today, poverty and precariousness is behind us hehehe!”
“For once I agree with you, you old skinflint.”
“Hahaha!!”
Anna lowered her head in shame seeing that the eyes of everyone in the tavern were directed at them.
. . . . . . .
Then the two of them continued to get drunk until dawn.
Then as they walked down the street a sudden explosion caused them to raise their heads to the sky.
*Boom* *Boom*
The whole city began to tremble, towards the gates a few miles away, the flames began to devour the walls of city and towards the horizon dragons were flying towards the city by the hundreds, by the thousand, the whole sky was full of dragons.
Haruto, Yug, Anna and the locals watching this scene could hardly believe it, it was a real army of dragons.
*Boom* *Boom* *Booom*
The whole city began to shake, the frightened inhabitants hid in their houses, thousands of soldiers in armour ran at full speed towards the city walls.
The dragons in the town of Dragnof also roared before they soared into the sky.
Dragnof’s sky was completely filled with dragons within a radius of one hundred kilometers.
“Roooar!!”
Anna seeing this scene, also wanted to go to the walls, but they saw that Haruto and Yug did not move, they just watched the fights as a show.
“What are you doing standing around, we have to go to the walls.”
“Sorry little girl, but I never do anything for free and what’s going on right now has nothing to do with me.”
Anna then looked at Yug for a moment with disappointment and then she looked at Haruto, but Haruto didn’t speak to her, he just shook his head.
Anna then gritted her teeth and lowered her head as two lines of tears ran down her cheeks.
“I thought we were friends.”
Haruto and Yug did not speak, they just remained silent, Anna then turned around and ran alone towards the walls.
“You are no different from the cowards of my clan.”
Then Anna gradually disappeared from the sight of Haruto and Yug.
Yug sighed and said in a low voice.
“This war has nothing to do with us, but it sounds like it’s really important to her.”
“Can’t we let the little girl die?”
“No, indeed, we can’t let it die.”
