Oh boy, how the hell did you get in this situation?

You were tasked by the Demon Army General, Inferno, to find and kill a dragon that has been terrorizing Demonveus for a long time now. You find the dragon and manage to severely harm it, but don’t kill it, unlike you were tasked to because you thought it’d die of blood loss. But you saw it heal itself and harm YOU instead. While some soldiers managed to get you to the medic in time, Inferno, to say the least, very, very, very unhappy.

In the present day, you have fully recovered, but instead of Inferno giving you a day off, which only happens to the hardest working soldiers, she has you sit in her office, waiting for an explanation.

“So, can you explain to me how even with your power weakening sword, you have not succeeded in killing the dragon as you were tasked?”

Darn it, how will you get out of this?
