An S-ranked Party’s Burden Tamer, I Awoke My True Power by Having My Familiar Killed

“What is this… ”

The trees in the forest that were bathed in light rotted away in an instant and a big explosion occurred where the light subsided.

Such a vicious light was emitted in all directions from the body of the Dragon Zombie.

I and Milim somehow managed to avoid it all, but this attack caused damage in unexpected places.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

“What!? Was there someone in the forest!?”

“It’s not the time to worry about that now!”

“Ugh….!”

Milim was right. Besides, with that attack, even if I went to use healing magic now, which I don’t have, it wouldn’t help.

There was no other choice.

“Is that…!?”

“It’s a type of breath attack! However, unlike ordinary dragons, it’s an instant death attack!”

“And, that…?!”

“That’s the real breath attack!”

Black-purple light overflowed from the open mouth of the Dragon Zombie in the air.

It pointed mouth was set on me as if planning to suck me into its vaccum.

‘…I’m going to die.’

In an instant, memories of my past raced through my mind like flashbacks. I frantically turned my mind and the world around became a slowed-down scenery from my perspective.

Evading it was impossible. The dragon’s mouth was the same size as those bones. It was too late now.

「Atomization」? No, Milim just said that it doesn’t work well against magic.

「King of the Night」? It’s the power to generate familiars, such as bats and other demons, but even if I did that, I don’t think it could protect me from that attack.

Even if I use Rei and Ace, the damage will only be worse…I’ll seal the 「Twilight Coffin」.

There’s no way out.

The next moment, the world’s time seemed to return to its original state and began to move again.

I could see the maximum death breath released from the Dragon Zombie’s mouth, approaching as if swallowing up the surrounding scenery.

“My life was short…”

“What are you doing, ending things on your own…?”

“Huh…?”

Strangely, the breath never reached me.

Milim was in my line of fire.Or rather, it could be said that it was Milim.

Her left arm thrust out, and most of her body seemed to have been taken away.

She had become so tattered that she blended with the appearance of the Dragon Zombie, and had protected me.

“Why…?”

“You idiot. Who do you think I am?”

The Vampire.

The pinnacle of the undead.

The meaning of the Immortal King. I saw it again in her eyes.

“【King of the Night】”

She chanted it briefly, and countless black shadow-like bats wrapped around Milim’s body.

And…

“There, back to normal…!”

“Are you okay?”

For a moment, she twisted her face, but her figure had certainly returned to Milim’s original appearance.
