Interesting premise, and I like the nigh-metaphorical art style. Guessing the girl is not completely human, either...I mean, just look at those boots! :meguupog:

This is interesting. I'm not sure I really understand what's happening, but I'm willing to go with it for now.

Been tracking this for a while ever since I saw it pop up in the New Manga section, so it's nice to see it finally get a scanlation.

In myth, dragons are often described as entities that oppress and terrorize mankind, and standing before such a force of nature as to halt its advance against humans was something few men could do.

I thought they were originally one of the many obstacles a knight had to overcome to get closer to God/the princess

They are. It stems from the tale of St. George, Beowulf, and many such Greek myths. The act of stopping a dragon is that of overcoming an insurmountable evil, which is usually presented in a dragon-like form.

Decent read. Like a futuristic/post-apocalyptic Mushishi. Following.

Anyone here who can help translate those mystery text?
Hiii! To answer this, as much as we tried with many TLs there is no one clear way to translate the mystery text due to the font also due to usage of some Chinese in the text, we all came to a mutual understanding that it is a sort of a prayer like "Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven" I Hope that makes things clear :thumbsup:

小篆 is no joke.
I can't imagine trying to learn all ~10k characters from the 説文解字 just to translate a ritual language in a manga. Especially when it is safe to assume few of the people reading this is Japanese will be able to recognize more than a few characters.
