"Kalawarner, get in close while he's still trapped and impale him. It's your only chance!"
Kalawarner instantly dove towards the trapped Issei, flinging light spears as she fell.
She landed on top of the yellow bands and summoned a thin spear into her hands.
She slid the sharpened point down the struggling Red Dragon Emperor's armor until the point caught on a gap under his arm.
Kalawarner used her full bodyweight to drive the spear into Issei, causing one last scream of agony to leave the teen's mouth before he was engulfed in blue light.
"Seekvaira Agares's rook retired."
Kalawarner fell to her knees and sucked in air as Issei's form disappeared.
Now all that was left was–
"Seekvaira Agares's queen retired."
What?
I looked at the monitor covering the camera at the floor of the ravine and saw Sir Lancelot standing facing the river, both his hands gripping Arondight's hilt with the sword's tip buried an inch into the dirt between his feet.
Did I seriously miss my chance to watch Sir Lancelot of Camelot fight a dragon?

Sir Lancelot of Camelot Fights a Dragon
His long-time sword felt comfortable in his hand as Lancelot drove the blade deep into the black dragon's chest. The beast howled in pain, beginning its descent towards the ground.
"I am Sir Lancelot. I will be your opponent, wyrm." Sir Lancelot said as he withdrew Arondight to stab the dragon once more. The knight was nothing if not polite.
Alivian snarled as the blade sheared through his scales a second time. The dragon rolled in the air, straightening his plummet into a semi-controlled dive.
Lancelot pulled Arondight free, stepping across the dragon's scales as he adjusted to ensure he wasn't thrown off. When Alivian was upright once more, Lancelot was standing on his back.
"Nothing personal, my friend, but I cannot fly." Lancelot said. He stepped to the left and swung Arondight in a large arc, cutting into the joint connecting Alivian's wing to his body.
Alivian roared in pain, his controlled dive failing as his left wing lost all of its strength, refusing to keep him aloft. The dragon began to spin towards the ground.
Lancelot slashed the blade of Arondight into the dragon as he ran across the dragon's scales as if he were on a treadmill.
As Alivian spun towards the ground, Lancelot kept running to ensure he remained perpendicular to the ground, dragging Arondight behind him to score deep lines into Alivian's flesh.
When Alivian had almost reached the ground, Lancelot leapt away from Alivian, landing with bent knees on the bank of the flowing river at the bottom of the ravine, Arondight held out to his side, stained with dark red blood.
I have missed this, old friend. Arondight said in Lancelot's mind, feelings of longing, reminiscence and contentment flowing through the sword to Sir Lancelot.
"It has been too long, my friend." Lancelot said, standing from his crouch and bringing Arondight up into a guard position in front of him. "Let us conquer this beast."
Arondight's excited laugh was the only agreement Lancelot needed.
Lancelot charged into the river, water splashing away from his heavy footfalls.
Alivian had crashed into the water, lessening the impact of his fall, but the damage he had sustained was visibly affecting him.
The dragon had deep lacerations and puncture wounds all across his body. His mighty left wing hung limp at his side.
The scales on the side of the dragon's face had been knocked free. His impact with the ground had likely caused the damage.
Alivian slowly forced himself upright, seeing Lancelot charge towards him. The dragon roared a challenge and opened his maw.
Fire the color of a rising sun poured from Alivian's mouth in a great cone, engulfing everything in the area and instantly evaporating a good portion of the river.
An eager grin was visible on Lancelot's face. The knight held Arondight in front of him and was enveloped by the fire.
Alivian kept spewing flames for as long as he could, but the need to breathe won out in the end. The dragon's fire cut off as Alivian sucked in large helpings of air.
When the flames disappeared, they revealed Sir Lancelot. He was standing in the exact same spot he'd been when the fire had washed over him.
Arondight was glowing a dull orange, but there was only one other change to Sir Lancelot's appearance.
"Most unfortunate." Lancelot said as he noticed the flames licking at his shoulder.
Calmly, he reached up and unfastened his blue cloak and threw it to the ground, the flames falling away from him to hungrily devour the cloak. "A good try, wyrm, but I am made of sterner stuff."
Alivian reared his head back to unleash another torrent of flame, but Lancelot was faster.
Within the blink of an eye the knight had closed the distance between himself and the dragon.
Lancelot swung Arondight in a downward slash, cutting deep into the dragon's front right knee.
Alivian collapsed forward as his leg was no longer able to support his weight, using the motion to snap toward Lancelot with his powerful jaws.
Lancelot danced away from the attack with the elegance of a ballerina, spinning around Alivian's maw to slash into his right foreleg.
Alivian cried in pain, his entire body coiling as his tail snapped around towards Lancelot's head.
Lancelot squared his stance and held Arondight aloft. Alivian's powerful tail slammed into the flat of Arondight's blade and was stopped dead.
Lancelot did not so much as twitch as he absorbed the full power of Alivian's blow.
Lancelot pounced on the opening created by the failed attack, lunging forward to thrust Arondight into the dragon's flank.
Alivian fell to the ground, though not because he was defeated. The dragon's right hind leg shot forward and his claws wrapped around Arondight's blade, keeping it stuck firmly inside him.
Lancelot looked up and saw the sharpened claw at the midpoint of the dragon's wing strike towards him, Arondight still trapped in the dragon's grasp.
