I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

Welp, to cut the long story short… they believed me once I gave my little demonstration.

Nadia, the Dragonkin Chief had no choice but to affirm my words. Not doing so, after all the evidence I had provided, would be plain stupid—at least, according to common sense.

'Whew!' I heaved in relief.

After all, my little MP only allowed me to use my Draconic Transformation for barely a few seconds before reverting to plain ol' Sam. Still, it was worth it. I matched the description they all had of me, plus I was also making a bold claim.

Most importantly, they were desperate.

'In the end, they have no choice but to listen.'

"F-fine… we concede," Nadia spoke, after leaking out a bit of a hesitant expression.

Even if she tried to hide her thoughts, I could tell. Even Sirius and Lydia were already displaying signs of reverence towards me. It was one thing to own a powerful Dragon, and it was another to be a powerful Dragonic Warrior—though the two weren't exactly mutually exclusive.

As the Legendary Dragon Slayer, it pretty much came with the package.

"It pleases me that we are on the same page. Now, then, shall we venture on to the main issue?" I smiled, a sharp glint appearing in my eyes. "The plan to take down the Dragon Nest."

It was ambitious, but the ideal conclusion to this whole thing would be for everyone to get what we wanted.

'Hang in there, everyone. I'll make sure to do this right!'

[The Elf Sanctuary: Village Square]

In the darkness of the night, a dark purple blot of energy began to swell at a slow rate. It distorted the space around slowly, and in only a few moments, it became a large gateway that allowed two silhouettes to make their appearance.

"Haa… I bet that guy wouldn't be able to sense this one." Adu, the shorter of the two grinned mischievously.

"Yeah. Good going." The lion-faced Hogun responded, looking stern as he faced their goal.

Both of them were saddled with an enormous responsibility. They had to complete a set of tasks, one of which was now out of the way.

"We've invaded the Elf village. Guess it's time for the next step." Adu murmured.

They were currently on high ground, so both Mid-Demons could see the settlement of the Elves from their heights. At first, they said nothing of it. However… it only took the two a few seconds to express how appalled they were by the miserable living conditions of the Elves.

The village was small, with only a few wooden houses and huts scattered around a central square. The only really amazing thing about their entire civilization was how poor it was. Other than the beautiful trees around them, the Elves were miserable.

"Hm. As expected. Not even guards." Adu and Hogun looked around and saw that the place was deserted. The Elves were all asleep in their huts, unaware of the impending danger.

After working so hard all day, they had to rest hard in the night. It wasn't like having guards was going to change anything anyway.

After all…

Adu turned to Hogun and grinned, revealing his sharp, pointed teeth. "Let's wake them up."

Hogun nodded, and the two demons began to move silently through the village. The Lion-Faced Hogun raised his hand and whispered a Spell, causing energy to course through his body. The moment he did this, a bright light flashed in the darkness.

Not only that, but immense pressure permeated the village. It was a Skill that called the attention of the living beings around him—as long as they were in a particular range, of course.

"Well, we just have to wait now. Kekeke!" Adu grinned, already hearing the stirs from within the sorry excuse for homes that the Elves had.

"We should be done in no time."

The Elves woke up with a start, startled by the sudden brightness, and a strange call to go outside. Unable to resist, they all trailed outside—too weak-willed and dazed to fully comprehend what was happening.

All of that changed, however, once Adu and Hogun appeared before them, their eyes glowing with an evil red light.

"EEEEEEKKKKK!!!" The Elves jumped from a state of drowsy confusion to a terrified condition—almost in a heartbeat. Their eyes showed primal fear at the sight of the demons before them.

"Get up! Get up!" Adu bellowed, his voice echoing through the village. "You had better not think of resisting us. You know the consequences."

This was, of course, part of their plan. It would prove too difficult to try convincing the Elves that they were on their side, after all. The best solution would be to let fear take control.

At least, that way, they would listen to them like obedient sheep.

And, what do you know? It worked perfectly!

The Elves trembled as they got to their feet, their faces pale with fear. Adu and Hogun used the fear and confusion that assailed the Elves to control them. They ordered the Elves to evacuate the village and leave all their possessions behind.

The poor Elves obeyed, stumbling out of their huts and gathering in the central square.

"You have the Magic Tool, yeah? Use it already." Hogun spoke, looking at Adu with slight impatience.

"The least I could do is enjoy the situation a little more. But whatever…"

In a flash, Adu released a bright glowing orb that attracted the gaze of the hundreds of Elves all huddled together.

"Follow the light," Hogun commanded. "And don't dare to look back. We're watching you, after all."

The frail beings did as they were commanded and trickled out of their residence, all following the leading of the light. Of course, that was the beacon that would guide them out of their imprisoned state.

With no questions asked, they were going to succeed in their assignments.

"... If only things were that easy." They smiled, casting their gaze above them.

According to Heshu, their leader, the Chief's residence was suspended in the air. Not only were the Supervisors there, but their precious Elf ally.

"We just have to trust Heshu's judgment, don't we?" Adu mumbled.

"Yeah. Besides… our mission isn't over yet."

No, far from it.

If Heshu was right—which he often was—the most challenging part of their task was yet to come.
