74:Wrath of a humble man
Veldanava who was observing everything with his magic sense frowned as he felt the last of angels being killed. This was really a tricky situation. Due to the army using an anti magic array he and Lucia were unable to teleport away from danger.
Frankly he didn't care much about his safety as even if he died he would just be born again in a few years due to his characteristics of a true dragon. His only concern is Lucia and Milim, especially Milim who isn't even a year old.
As he was thinking of his actions, Lucia came near him and said, " Velda take Milim and run away from here. I will hold back the rebel army as much as i can "
" What are you saying Lucia? Shouldn't that be something I'm supposed to say , you take Milim and run away while I buy time for both of you. " Veldanava said as a determined light flashed through his eyes.
Lucia shook her head at this. If it was any other time she would definitely agree with Veldanava. But this time the situation is serious.
" Velda you are weakened considerably. You cannot use any of your ultimate skills. So you should be the one to run and take Milim away. " Lucia said, trying to persuade him.
" Lucia you too are weakened due to childbirth. And with the anti magic array they deployed I could say you are more weakened than me.
Don't worry I won't die today. I still want to spend my time with my family, " Veldanava said with a reassuring smile as he gripped his sword.
Lucia sighed as she finally agreed to this. " Be careful Velda and don't you dare break your promise" she said as tears strolled down her face.
Veldanava nodded. " Take Milim and run as far as you can . When you are out of the anti-magic array' s range, teleport immediately to Rimuru's restaurant.
Don't worry about me even if they try to kill me. My body is still that of a true dragon so they couldn't kill me even if they wanted to, " Veldanava said, lying a bit at the end. His body is too weakened for his Intrinsic skills to work.
Lucia nodded as she took Milim from the crib and went towards the back door to plan her escape. Before she left the room she turned back and looked at Veldanava in sadness before running away.
Veldanava who looked at her departing figure finally realised a huge sigh of relief. Then all the emotions he was hiding finally resurfaced into his face. His face contorted in rage.
Veldanava could be said to be a very humble and kind man. But even this man has a reverse scale. And now these humans have hit his reverse scale his family.
He gripped his sword and went outside to confront the intruders who dared to intrude on his home. He would show them the consequences of angering a true dragon.

The enemy was approaching the house at a steady pace. After the encounter with the angels they were very cautious with their approach. Every single casualty is a huge loss to them as all of them are elites.
The one leading them were two commanders. They were leaders of the resistance. One was a middle aged man with blonde hair and beard. If someone in the empire were to see his face they would realise that this man is someone who travelled with Rudra in his early days as a hero.
His name is Silvan de Desepto. A nobleman who was charmed by Rudra's charisma and joined on his journey to help the world from the evil clutches of Demon Lord Guy Crimson. Apart from Rudra he is said to be the best swordsman who was said to be comparable to a sword saint.
And the other man next to him is the son of the minister who was punished by Rudra today. With his father's resources he managed to grow considerably. And apart from his strength he is renowned as the best strategist who can turn any wars to his favour. His name is Ravan von Wiese, the best talent in the empire.
" So that's the house huh " Silvan said in an indifferent tone.
" Yes, according to the intel we managed to gather, this is the place, " Ravan said, agreeing with him.
" Well then let's get this over with, we wasted too much time on those angels anyway" Silvan said as she unsheathed his blade.
Just as he was about to give the order to march forward he suddenly stopped in his tracks. The front door of the house opened and Veldanava came out of it holding a katana in his hand.
Although he taught Rudra how to use a western sword his expertise lies in handling the Katana. This is because he was Rimuru's sparring partner for the longest time and he managed to integrate most of her moves to his fighting style.
He looked at his enemies with a cold gaze and muttered, " so you guys are the pest who doesn't know their place. Well let's get this over with "
Silvan, who always had an indifferent expression, finally showed a look of anger. He then ordered his men , " Men deal with that bastard, we only need the royal family, not some unnamed bastard who doesn't know his place. "
His men then all charged towards Veldanava with their weapons ready. Swords , spears and numerous weapons came at him at an impressive speed.
Looking at the weapons that were about to reach in a matter of a minute, Veldanava didn't panic. He calmly took a stance and muttered, "Star Release: Dance of the Celestial"
Even when he couldn't use any skills or regenerate his magicules Veldanava is still a true dragon who has more magicules than Veldora. So his reserves are enough for him to fight all day. Especially when sword attacks cost less magicules than skills.
Like a hurricane Veldanava continued to attack and reaped the life of enemy soldiers one after another. It wasn't until the death count reached 19 that the enemy stopped their charge.
Veldanava looked at the remaining enemy soldiers with a cold gaze and released one of the new techniques he learned from Rimuru. A huge pressure was released from Velldanava's soul.
This sudden pressure made the soldiers take a step back involuntarily.They had cold sweat running down their backs as they gazed at Veldanava who is looking like a executioner. Their spirits slowly started to break.
