Someone You Don't Want as an Enemy

I put handcuffs and leg shackles on Blast, sealing his magic just like what I did to Chris. Although Blast’s level is 378, with his magic sealed, even Erik’s knights can restrain him.
“Arius, thank you. You did a great job. Thanks to you, we had zero casualties. Can I leave the rest to you?” Erik’s knights lead Blast into the cargo carriage.
Inside the cargo carriage, there’s a magical cage. I praised it, and it’s so sturdy that even an S-rank adventurer wouldn’t be able to break free from it. Erik is meticulous, and it seems he made similar preparations as I did.
Furthermore, two knights will be accompanying Blast to monitor him, making it impossible for him to escape with his magic sealed.
“Hey, Erik. You seem to have anticipated Blast’s attack, but do you think there are others among the attackers who are as strong as Blast or even stronger?”
I didn’t know Blast was going to attack. I only knew of the existence of “Cleaner Sweeper,” Blast. Both the intelligence agency and I don’t have information about the Duke Jordan’s forces this time.
“When I think about it, I believe there are. Duke Jordan is coming after us with all he’s got,” Erik replied.
I haven’t heard any such thing.
“Erik, what have you done?”
“I haven’t done anything significant, really,” Erik approached me and whispered in a low voice.
“I bribed several of Duke Jordan’s close aides and deliberately exposed the bribes. It seems this made Duke Jordan extremely suspicious. Oh, and I didn’t know who Duke Jordan hired as assassins, even among the bribed aides.”
Hey, Erik. What are you talking about with that usual refreshing smile of yours?
“Besides that, I applied pressure on the nobles in Duke Jordan’s faction, causing most of them to defect. Once I told them which side was more advantageous, they all obediently followed. And I also did the same with the merchants…”
Hey, you’ve completely cornered Duke Jordan, haven’t you? He might have a personality that attacks when you least expect it, but you just pushed him into a corner, and that’s all.
“Why do you go to such lengths, Erik?”
With my question, Erik answered with his usual refreshing smile.
“Arius, what are you talking about? Duke Jordan picked a fight with me. So, it’s only natural for me to thoroughly crush him to ensure no one else tries the same.”
He said Duke Jordan challenged him to a fight. It’s clear that Erik intends to completely crush him to prevent anyone else from trying the same thing.
This is one guy I absolutely don’t want to make an enemy.
It’s the first time I’ve thought that.
“You really did defeat the dragon.”
At this moment, everyone comes out of the carriage.
We waited here because there might be unforeseen circumstances before we could lock up Blast.
“Wow, this is incredible! It’s sliced vertically in half! Damn it! I wanted to see Arius finish him off!”
Barn, who came out first, is excited as he sees the dragon. But sorry to say, he’s more annoying than usual, all hot-headed.
“Indeed, it’s Arius. It seems there are no casualties,” Sofia says with a beaming smile. After Erik’s explanation, Sofia’s smile is truly heartwarming.
“Hey, Arius. Is something wrong? You don’t seem like your usual self,” Milia scrutinizes me.
“It’s nothing, really,” I reply, but Milia still doesn’t seem convinced. She only knows how terrifying Erik can be as an enemy.
But that doesn’t change the fact that Erik is a good guy.
“Erik, what will you do with the dragon’s body? Dragon materials are valuable, right?” In dungeons, even if you defeat a dragon, you only get magic stones. Blast also mentioned that natural dragons are quite valuable.
“Since you defeated it, you can do whatever you want with it,” Erik says.
In that case, I won’t hesitate to take it. I don’t have a hobby of using materials to make things, but if someone wants it, I can provide it at a fair price.
I store the whole dragon into the storage space.
“Hey… What was that just now?” It seems they didn’t expect me to store the entire dragon. The surrounding guards are visibly surprised.
Well, an ordinary person’s storage space can’t fit a dragon.
Zeke and Sasha are also quite shocked, and Mars’s face is twitching.
The reactions of the other four are different.
“If you’re with Arius, you can’t be surprised by something like this,” Sofia says.
“That’s right. It’s just something Arius would do,” Milia adds.
“Sofia, the way you say it sounds like you’re treating Arius at the same level as me. But I’m still better than him,” Erik retorts.
“No, Erik and Arius are completely different types. But when it comes to the craziness of their actions, they might be on the same level,” Milia comments.
I can’t help but feel like I’m being treated poorly, and it’s not just my imagination.
But am I the only one who thinks Erik’s actions are more extreme?
