Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 27: The Dragon

V Turner City had nothing interesting to see. It was just a town near the mountains that catered to the hotel trade. It had many hotels all over the place and little attraction. However, it had branches of the Vampire Guilds dedicated to hunting beasts, monsters, and devourers.

Many vampires come here every year, so they receive a good amount of money for the hospitality they provide.

That's why, upon arriving here, Matt and company simply bought a few things needed for the trip and a carriage pulled by warhorses, leaving the city soon after in the direction of their true destination.

"This place is really beautiful." Matt said suddenly, taking in all the surrounding scenery as the horses ran at full speed.

Alice and Isla agreed with this assessment.

"Matt, you don't seem to know much about this world. You tend to be surprised by a lot of things." Isla said suddenly.

Alice turned to look at her in surprise, "Could it be that you haven't told her?" she asked doubtfully, and Matt smiled with some embarrassment.

'Honestly, I had forgotten to tell her that I have something like amnesia.' He thought.

Alice's words surprised Isla a little, "Tell me what? Actually, Matt doesn't usually talk much, so I don't know many things about him." She answered truthfully and sat down next to Alice, trying to look for information about Matt.

"Does he talk to you anymore?" she asked, but Alice shook her head, smiling.

"No, it's the same with me. But maybe there's a reason for that. He has amnesia for a lot of things and remembers almost nothing. Can you believe I had to teach him to use Vampirism? It was just a few weeks ago... And to think he's already so strong now, I honestly don't know what his body is made of." She replied, smiling.

Her words stunned Isla, "Does he have amnesia?" she asked in shock and jumped over to where Matt was standing, looking at him with a worried face.

Though she didn't know what to ask, she lightly grabbed him by the hand, "Why didn't you say so before? I've always been bothering you... I, I'm sorry." She said and lowered her head, not knowing what else to say with a guilty face.

She looked pretty tender right now, like a newly scolded little girl who couldn't help but feel guilty about her big mistake.

Matt smiled at seeing her like this, "It's okay, you've been no trouble at all. You're a good girl, and your questions always encourage me to talk." He replied.

He was so bad at comforting or saying words at times like that he did have to think for a moment to be able to answer. And despite that, he could only give a slightly crude reply, which he hoped she understood was one of thanks.

She looked at him a little; perhaps she was beginning to understand him better.

And so, the chatter became animated between them as the horses pulled the carriage they were riding in hard.

A day later, they had to get out and continue on foot, for the horses could not climb the steep mountains of this place.

So, they plunged among the mountains to the west while they trained, and Matt tried to locate the dragon.

Searching for this dragon was not an easy task, as the map was not very specific. Also, the mountains could change with the undergrowth, so they had to be careful.

After walking for a few days, Matt smiled as he found giant footprints.

"They're dragon tracks, and it's not that big. It seems to be a fire dragon from the burning as the devourer writings say." Matt said, smiling, and then started to follow the tracks quickly.

'Here they disappear...' He thought and looked up and down in these mountains.

"That's strange... Maybe there is some cave near here. Let's look carefully." Matt said, and the girls nodded without saying a word.

Still, they didn't have to look far.

A faint sound reached Matt's well-developed ears at that moment, 'A snore? And this size...' He thought, smiling.

"I think I found it; follow me." He said and started running in the direction of the mountain opposite.

Soon, the snoring was even audible to the girls as they arrived in front of this place.

There was a vast cave, slightly covered by a large amount of undergrowth, visible before them; then, without hesitation, they entered carefully.

The cave was spacious and very tall; it did not even appear to be a cave. Instead, it seemed to be a hollowed-out mountain inside, which made Matt think that this cave was handmade by someone, as it did not look like something naturally formed.

After walking around for a while, they were finally able to see the dragon.

"Shh."

"Indeed, he is wounded and is still a baby, but you must be careful; he is still a dragon. Let's do things as planned, and it will be fine." Matt said, and after saying a few more things to the girls, he started to put several stakes in the ground, side to side, and in different places.

He did this carefully so the dragon wouldn't wake up.

'As long as I get the dragon's weakness, we can kill it easily if we use stakes to attack it from various sides. The best thing about killing a baby dragon is that they are not experienced in covering their weakness.' Matt thought as he sprinkled the stakes all over the place.

And a while later, he finished.

He prepared to say something to the girls, but just then, he felt a dangerous look that made the hairs on his body stand up.

"Be careful, Matt!" shouted Alice at that moment, but her warning was unnecessary.

Matt quickly used his dimensional movement as he sensed danger approaching him.

Just then, an intense explosion occurred where he had been, as a fire attack erupted there.

Matt glared at the dragon that had awakened without him noticing.

'Holy shit, this bastard is powerful.' He thought as he prepared to attack.

"Let's follow the plan!" he shouted.

With his shout, Isla lunged to the dragon's left while Alice appeared from above with her sword to attack him head-on.

The dragon loudly roared at the sight of Alice in such an unprotected position.

"ROARRRR!" along with its roar, a fiery attack shot out of its mouth toward Alice. He had an opportunity, and he wasn't going to waste it.

But he didn't expect Alice's power to be so high. With a burst of vampiric energy, Alice's power gushed out, and she swung her sword horizontally to cut the enormous fireball in two, seizing the moment to come down on the dragon with force.
