Chapter 46 (1/2)
CHAPTER 46 – ULTRA DRAGON VS. DIVINE DRAGON
It seems that sleeping drug was added to our meal.
Maa, it won’t work on me who has〈Pinnacle of Psyhique〉though.
「Chief!? What have you done?」
Ryuna who guided us to the village raises her voice after noticing the abnormality.
「I will have these guys become the sacrifices for the Sea G.o.d instead of the villagers. These two girls, in particular, will suit Sea G.o.d’s preferences」
「That can’t be……! These are people who have saved our lives!?」
「…… Forgive me, Ryuna. It’s for the village ja. We can’t afford to offer more sacrifices anymore」
「Even so……!」
A quarrel between the chief and Ryuna. The other mermaids look surprised too, it seems that this is only the doing of the chief. This G.o.dd.a.m.ned hag.
I ask.
「Fu~n, Sea G.o.d, huh. What kind of fellow is it?」
「A gigantic double-headed monster ja It was sealed in the seamount shrine since the ancient times, but it has woken up just recently. And since then, it has been appearing once a month abducting the village girls……」
「It’s somehow like a development from some old folk tale, huh」
Like Yamata no Orochi and such.
「――tte, why are you not asleep no ja!?」
Chief who calmly explained until now finally noticed and shouted in surprise.
「N…… slightly dizzy」
「Mama, what’s wrong?」
It also didn’t work on s.h.i.+ro and Filia, not just me.
They are a Dragon and a Magic Puppet, after all.
「Wh, why it didn’t work……? You weren’t supposed to wake up for a whole day……!」
The old hag shouts in surprise while her b.o.o.bs swing.
Guo…… what a strong mental attack……!
I avert my gaze in disgust and use Healing Jutsu on Tira and Ellen.
The two immediately wake up.
「…… Ah, I should have done some ecchi stuff first」
「I hear you, though!?」
The moment Tira shouts.
A roar of a beast comes from distance and the mermaids gathered in the square start screaming in panic.
「! This is the voice of the Sea G.o.d ja! Everyone, evacuate to the buildings!」
The mermaids scatter in all directions at chief’s instructions.
I can see a big, dark shadow slowly approaching the village in a distance.
「Dragon?」
It’s a double-headed dragon.
A blue scaled aquatic dragon, its overall length easily exceeds 50 meters.
I examine it with〈Pinnacle of Appraisal〉and check it in detail.
「It’s more than millennium old dragon. If that’s the case, then it’s an Ultra Dragon」
Dragons are generally divided into the Lower, Medium, and Superior grades.
Superior are the strongest, for example, a Red Dragon belongs to that grade.
But, there are dragons above that who are considered as legendary, the Ultra Dragons.
There are cases when dragons who live for a long time evolve into Ultra Dragons.
This sea dragon before is just that.
「Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a dragon for a dragon. That being the case, I leave this to you, s.h.i.+ro」
「N」
Our family’s pet who sensed the owner’s intention already stands stark naked on standby. No, she just took her clothes off like always.
A brilliant light envelops s.h.i.+ro’s body and a white dragon make an appearance.
She usually stays in her human form, but her real ident.i.ty is that of a Divine Dragon which is ranked even above Ultra Dragon, the Bright White Dragon.
「Wha, wha, wha……」
The old hag is not able to stand up at the sudden appearance of a legendary dragon.
「I’m off」
s.h.i.+ro says just that and jumps underwater with an explosive velocity.
