Chapter 6: 60 years later... (Part 1)\n \n \n60 years later...\n
\n"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"\n \nThe sound of loud neighs filled the mountains.\n \nThe sky is covered by large wings and a jet-black
body. Its scales are so thick. At first glance, it looks like a rocky mountain
floating in the air.\n \nA pair of eyes that looked like big jewels kept
staring at me.\n \nGrand Dragon shakes his head. He moves the fire sack
in his nose and flicks the igniting stone that is said to exist at the end of
his long esophagus.\n \nInstantly, a magma-like fireball is spat out at me.\n \nThe dragon fire is so powerful that it can turn the
mountains and fields to ashes instantly.\n \nThere is no escape from his raging flames.\n \n"Mmm......."\n \nI frown a little.\n \nMy fine hairs are burned to dust.\n \nBut that's as far as it goes.\n \nThe armor I am wearing now is made of salamander skin.
In addition to heat resistance, the armor is shock resistant and withstood the Grand
Dragon's attack earlier.\n \nIn addition, thanks to the heat resistance I've gained
by regularly eating Fire Sky Chicken for the past 60 years, no flame can burn
me.\n \nThe Grand Dragon's flames that had been burning down
the surrounding area finally run out of fuel.\n \nNow the Grand Dragon threat is half gone.\n \n"Finally, it's my turn."\n \nHis mouth slackened unconsciously.\n \nThe next moment, I am running like the wind.\n \nI am already 76 years old, but my body is still healthy.
In fact, I am far more powerful than when I decided to slay the dragon.\n \nThe only thing I can feel is that my stomach has been
upset lately and I've been waking up unusually early.\n \n"OOOOOOOOOOO!"\n \nWhat I drew from the sheath is a large sword that I
made for fighting dragons.\n \nI thoughtlessly named it "Dragon Killer".\n \nThe weight and the sharpness of the blade alone are
enough to cut through the skin of a salamander wearing it right now.\n \nFor this very moment, I have devoted 60 years of my
life to make this great sword.\n \n60 years may seem like a long time, but it is just a
few moments for me.\n \nI have experienced joy but never suffering. I have
experienced happiness but never lonely.\n \nAll this - to reach the goal I set 60 years ago.\n \nMy father was right.\n \nIt seems I am a defective product.\n \nIt took me 60 years to defeat a dragon...\n \nNo, don't let your guard down.\n \nI haven't accomplished anything yet.\n \nBut now I'm going to do it.\n \nI jump up. Thanks to my diet that includes Eagles and
Flying fish Rabbits, my jumping ability is far beyond ordinary people.\n \nMoreover----.\n \n[Levitation]\n \n \nThanks to eating the Cloud Eye, a demonic beast that
looks like a cloud, I also acquired the ability to fly.\n \nGrand Dragon always looked down on me in the past, but
now the moment has come when I can finally talk with him on equal footing.\n \n"How do you feel, Grand Dragon? You've always looked
down on me. How do you feel when you and I stare at each other on equal
footing?\n \n"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"\n \nDid I just hurt this dragon's pride?\n \nGrand Dragon opens his big mouth and threatens me.\n \nOo....... Oo....... He's angry. He is angry.\n \nThat's good. I need you to be that angry.\n \n"It would be more satisfying for me to beat you."\n \nI disappear into the heat rays.\n \nA moment after I seemed to have disappeared, I once
again appeared in front of the Grand Dragon.\n \n"Wow. I didn't know you had such a secret move.
I've learned a good thing."\n \nThe Salamander's armor began to fall apart, and most
of it had melted away.\n \nHowever, after 60 years of eating monsters, my body
can withstand Grand Dragon's secret moves.\n \n"This is my victory!"\n \nFarewell, Grand Dragon!\n \nI slashed the Grand Dragon at that moment.\n \nFor a moment, silence filled the air as if time had
stopped.\n \nThe only sound was the sheathing of the Dragon Killer.\n \nGrand Dragon's head tilted.\n \nThere was no final scream, just its huge body slowly
falling down from the sky.\n \nIts wings moved slightly as if to say to me, "Well
done".\n \nImmediately afterward, there is a loud crashing sound
like a tree being hammered into the ground.\n \nWhen I landed, I found him lying on the ground in a
state of apparent death.\n \n"Yes. Successful."\n \nI immediately start to dismantle it.\n \nDismantling a dragon is hard work. It would take at
least two hours.\n \nIn addition, it is not delicious enough to compensate
for the effort.\n \nBut it's still one of the best dishes.\n \nHowever, there is one part that is superb.\n \nIt's the tail. Especially the tail's joints are very
delicious.\n \nIn my experience, the meat from moving parts is the
best, but the parts that moved too much are not good because the muscles are
too developed.\n \nIn the case of dragons, it would be the meat at the
wing base.\n \nOn the other hand, the dragon's tail movements are
more gentle and it matches my taste.\n \nSo I immediately cut it off.\n \nAs expected of a Grand Dragon. An ordinary knife can't
cut through it at all.\n \nThat's when the Dragon Killer comes in handy.\n \nWith it, I could cut through the dragon's hard scales
without difficulty. It could be said that this sword was created for this
purpose.\n \nOnce I try to use my sword, I can cut it easily as I
want.\n \nIt is so sharp that I am in love with it.\n \nI insert the dragon killer between the scales and the
body and peel off those two parts.\n \n"Oh. It's quite beautiful."\n \nThe meat color is similar to chicken. It is whitish
red.\n \nThe white skin was beautiful and reflected the light
shining through the clouds.\n \nThe meat is tender and reminds me of the troll's
tongue I used to eat.\n \nDragon steak would be nice, but as I said before. When
you're 76 years old, it's a bit too much for your body.\n \nSo, I'll make a dish that I can eat.
