I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

Chapter 230 Let's Prove A Point



"It seems you are indeed in a precarious position…" My tone was calm, yet dominating.

There was no way in hell I was going to let these dragonkin realize I was actually happy about their predicament. It was beneficial to me, but no one had to know that.

… Right?

"We are currently desperate. And we are running out of time. I am sure you can understand that…" Their chief spoke with a somewhat rushed undertone.

'Ah. She's practically telling me to screw off, or something.' Their group had very limited time to make their choice, so my presence was a bother.

I completely understood that.

'Welp, I guess it's about time I made my proposal.'

"I have a proposal, Dragonkin Chief. Perhaps it might interest you." I took a daring step closer.

Lydia and her sweetheart flinched the moment I did this, but Nadia—their leader—signaled them not to bother.

Her crimson eyes narrowed on mine, and it seemed we were battling with our wills. Thankfully, it wasn't with our fists, cus I would have lost big time if that were the case.

In this situation, though, I stood a good chance.

"What proposal?" I grinned internally once she took the bait.

"Before I get to that, there is something you should all know. That is, my identity." I made a calm smile, glancing at Lucy for a second.

She seemed to be enjoying the situation.

"I am known as the Legendary Dragon Slayer… one who has slaughtered my fair share of dragons. I came here for that very task before encountering your little tribe."

"L-LEGENDARY DRAGON SLAYER…?!" The uproar from the dragonkin shocked me—almost to the point where I nearly had a heart attack.

'What's with these people? They've heard of me?'

"You mean… you're that person? The one who offered salvation to the Adventurer's City? The one who slayed the mighty Earth Dragon and fought off the invasion of Demons?" Nadia's tone was high now, but this only added to my confusion.

How did these people know my identity?!

Of course, there was no way I could make my confusion known to them.

"Oh? It seems you know who I am." I deepened my voice as my smile broadened. "How?"

Nadia seemed a bit hesitant to tell me, but after I insisted with my gaze, she spilled the beans.

Apparently, the Dragonkin had sent spies to monitor Dulum a while back. They blended in with the people and heard the heroic tales of the Legendary Dragon Slayer—how he saved the people from a crisis that was sure to leave them in peril.

'They got past all my security? Damn. I really have to pay close attention to spy infiltration from now on!' I thought to myself.

Then again, since they were able to sneakily observe the Dragon Nest without being spotted by Dragons, then it wasn't very surprising that they escaped the surveillance of the security system I put in place.

I guess I just had to try harder.

"B-but that's impossible. The Legendary Dragon Slayer has azure scales like the sky, and he owns a beautiful set of wings. His form is glorious, and it is said that he resembles us—but as a far more majestic being."

I finally understood why the Dragonkin were able to get such information about me. They heard the tales of someone similar to them—who held unfathomable power and was able to defeat a huge army of demons.

'Even if they're desperate, they won't bother attacking Dulum… not with what they've heard.' I smiled.

These guys would rather take their chances with the Dragon Nest.

Still, what was this they were talking about? It seemed Nadia was describing my Draconic Transformation.

"You must be a fool if you expect us to believe your words just because you ride a dragon. We know the identity of the Legendary Dragon Slayer… and he definitely doesn't resemble a human."

"Watch your tone." I increased the depth of my voice.

Unfortunately for me, Nadia didn't seem to back down on this. Her skeptical gaze withstood my bravado.

'Damn. For real? They're so convinced of my persona as the Legendary Dragon Slayer, aren't they?'

From the looks of things, they didn't yet know about how the Legendary Dragon Slayer was the same person as the Hero, and how the Hero looked like a regular guy.

I had no idea why the most crucial bit of information would escape them. Perhaps they were more focused on the story involving someone related to their race than some idol that humans worshiped.

Either way, I had to prove my identity as the Legendary Dragon Slayer, else things wouldn't end well.

"You think of me as an imposter? Really?"

"Do we have any reason not to?" Nadia narrowed her gaze.

Were these people blind? I had a dragon parked outside their tent, didn't I? What happened to all my pressure from earlier?

'I mean, I made it seem like the one with the advantage is me, but… if I'm being honest, I'm actually in trouble if they decide to turn against me.

There were three dragonkin—all of whom were stronger than my current state. They could make short work of me at such close range if I messed up.

'Lucy is here to guard me, but I don't want to risk it. Besides… it wouldn't be wise to cause such a ruckus in such a situation.'

I was a Hero, first and foremost, after all. My duty was to the people—humans or not!

"Hmmm… very well." I closed my eyes and gave a confident smirk. "Watch closely and be enlightened."

This was bound to stress my body a lot, and I would be pushing myself to the limits. However, there was really nothing stopping me from using this method—not even my low level—I had to give it a try.

'I hope my meager MP is enough…'

>VWWUUUUUUSSSSHHHHHH!!!<

At that very moment, a surge of power burst forth from me, spreading through the whole tent. Blue light emanated from my body, and at that moment, I achieved the state everyone had heard of so much.

My Draconic Transformation!

In this pristine form, I watched as my audience all witnessed my majesty with eyes of wonder—incapable of nothing else but the declaration of my title..

"T-The Legendary Dragon Slayer!"
