"Because the dragon said so. To save humanity. And to never give up."

I’ve met the Dragon Knight, Twalle, only twice.

Though we were from the same academy, our ranks and grades were so different that I wondered if we had ever crossed paths at all.

So, the first time I met him was after I had graduated, when I entered a gate in the northern region.

He was exposed with bones starkly visible, his neck nearly severed.

The Dragon Knight spoke those words.

"What a pitiful corpse."

"Yeah. The enemies were too strong, and I died a few times... but, I can’t just give up because of death, right?"

Saying this, the Dragon Knight got up again.

"I won’t stop until I eliminate the last 'Gate 999.' I must save humanity."

After that, I heard rumors that the Dragon Knight had resolved many gates.

Reflecting on that encounter, I thought.

Indomitable will.

To not give up is surely a noble and admirable trait.

However, as they say, excess of anything is poisonous.

[This time, Na-rim has chosen the Dragon Knight again, but the build is quite different from the previous round, isn’t it?]@@novelbin@@

The second round began, and MadMask spoke.

[Earlier, the Dragon Knight said they didn’t have any dealing skills, but Reignite actually has a damage judgment, you know.]

[Does it have damage judgment?]

[Reignite burns part of the user's body to create a fire, and when the skill resets, the whole body burns to return to the fire. This generates a burn DoT (damage over time) effect.]

Of course, calling this a dealing skill is difficult. The damage is more like an Easter egg, not the primary purpose.

And Son Na-rim had maximized this DoT damage.

* Thwack!

* "What the heck?!"

* "What is she doing??????"

* "Is she doing that to fill her ultimate gauge???"

* "This is madness…"

* "Is this what it takes to play the Dragon Knight..."

* "She’s done for!"

* "She’s going to surrender."

* "I think she’s doomed..."

* "So fast, damn haha"

* "Dragon’s out, but drawing this is madness haha"

* "Damn Na-rim! I like you!"

* "I’m the ace who peaks with daggers! Disqualified sow!"

* What disqualified?

* Ace.. disqualified?

* (Author) Cancel that last statement!

* Cancel

* (Author) [Then sell it, Kon]

* What do you mean by that, Inakigakiga?

* Laura’s all over the place...

* But yeah, it really is surrender time...
