Dragon Bloodline Chapter 35

The city-state of Jaeburg, similar to Shashmeer, was a city that came into existence from trading magic stones and magic crystals produced in the labyrinth.

The Dark Labyrinth. The labyrinth’s lord, Dark Dragon Valis.
A companion of Founder Leyte Anaia, it was the strongest existence on the continent. It was said that his power exceeded even a god’s.

There was a toll to enter the city, but they were also questioned.

His doubt wasn’t that unreasonable. Hellhound aside, they were obviously children, which weren’t usually explorers.

The guard looked amazed.

They were heartless words, but they didn’t think too much on it.

As for the town of Jaeburg, it was a city that overflowed with more strength than Shashmeer.

More than anything, there were many people with a large amount of magical power. Even if they appeared to be purely warriors, they were probably using body reinforcement magic.

They left the wagon and horses at an inn a guard told them about, heading to the guild. Rudolph was left in a guild stable for the exclusive use of familiars. It would accompany them in the labyrinth.

When they opened the guild’s doors, it looked like another world.

Because the first one to enter was Ria.
Beautiful girls were seldom seen this far out. Her beauty had been increasingly polished from hatching from the egg.

Though for the vulgar men in this city, their eyes dazzled as though looking at a treasure.

“Ojou-chan, what are you doing in a place like this?”

Though Ria thought her age would cause these situations to not happen, in this case, her growth backfired on her.

Speaking from next to the person in front of Ria, a different man appeared.

Gig and Carlos were starting to panic. On their barbaric journey, they’d come to understand Ria had become warlike.

“Hey bastards, you’re being nuisances to Anego…”

Maybe because they were paralyzed, or maybe they had some capability. Either reason was probably.

Serge spoke to Carlos after using Identify, but it looked like he didn’t need to worry about the small fry.

“You guys are level thirty-two and thirty-four right? Carlos An-chan is sixty seven ya know?”

“Bring it on, bastard!”

“Don’t take out your weapons!”
Though a voice came from the counter, they didn’t stop.

After that, it was the standard development.

“Phew, I’m happy I learned hand to hand combat from Ojou.”

The two high-fived each other.
Ria finally headed to register, but yet another person blocked her way.

A woman. No, maybe it was better to say a girl by her age?

She had fiery short red hair, matching her red armor. She looked amused as she looked into Ria’s entirely black eyes.

Her appraising glance wasn’t unpleasant, she was a beautiful girl after all.

A sword hung on her waist. She stood with her feet and shoulder length apart. Her hips were directly below her shoulders. Ria could see her considerable skill in swordsmanship.

(Wonder if she’s stronger than Carlos?)

Though she was interested in the beautiful young girl in front of her, she wanted to hurry up and register for now.

Her eyes were blazing.

It was a self-serving excuse. Contrasting that, Ria held up two fingers.

That was logical. However, logic didn’t seem to work in this town.

“What is important here in this town is face and strength. Leave out the whining, are we gonna fight?”

She genuinely enjoyed this obligation.

“Alright. I’ll be your opponent.”

A little girl being her opponent was unexpected.

“I don’t care.”

Next thing she realized, she was within punching range.

Ria let out a fist. Shizuna brushed away the hand blocking her sight as it came closer.

“Uah!”
Bringing her movement to the extreme, Shizuna immediately dropped herself down to dodge.

Ria looked down at Shizuna, who was now standing from her knees. Seeing the smile spread across her face, blood rushed to Shizuna’s head.

Seeing how easily she went down like that, she hadn’t regained any of her face. Moreover, her opponent ridiculed her.

Even among her comrades, only Carlos and Ria knew about it. About Ria’s bad habit.

In times like that, Ria gave a very good smile.

While Ria laughed more and more, they went outside of the guild. Lulu put a hand to her head and looked up at the sky.

A spectacle was beginning on the road in front of the guild.

“Nee-chan, that’s a good sword.”

Besides, according to Identify, the sword’s ability should have no effect against Ria.
An audience was encircling the street, irresponsibly jeering the two on. However, no one gave Ria, who had just came to the town that day, a high appraisal.

As for Shizuna, who held two names, she had often been made light of due to her youth and appearance.

But all of her opponents till now only looked like they possessed skill. The same age as her at best, her height was made fun of by a girl just like her, something like that shouldn’t have happened.

I’m fine without it, Ria seemed to say with her manner, but she’d thought it poor manners to fight her bare-handed.

Curved swords were unusual, but her standing pose was a bit cool. Shizuna’s face grew a bit cold.

Though it was a bit late to ask, it was important.

A voice called out from the audience. Ria nodded with a smile.

“Come at me. I’ll play with you.”

“Dieee!”

Ria’s Nagasone Kotetsu parried the blow.

“Come to thing of it, I haven’t introduced myself huh.”

“I am Ria. As for my other name…”
Still, it was a smile that enjoyed fighting.

“After defeating you, I’ll take a bit to think about it.”
