Chapter 9 (2/2)

Finally, I reached all the way to the right leg.

I can only attack for a moment.

Soon, the tail that I repelled just before will come back.

”⸺Raa!”

As if to cross it with the one in its back, I thrust my longswords into the dragon's joints.

”⸺Gyaooooooo!!!”

That's a sword made from the fang of a high grade majuu.

It seems to be something made by Arisa's mentor.

From its sharpness that was enough to pierce through the dragon's skin, I can see a glimpse of the terror of its original owner.

*Gyupyuri* Blood spurts out from the dragon's leg.

”⸺Here's some extra.”

After pulling out the longswords, I drive a knife into the wound.

*Zutazuta* With this, both the dragon's right leg nerves and the swords are messed up.

It can't move its right leg anymore.

(I have no more business here. I'll withdraw from here.)

Like that, I pa.s.s by its right leg, slip under the dragon's belly, and roll over to its left side.

”Agyaaaaaa!”

Its pain and agony pile up, and the dragon's screams get even louder.

With this, the dragon has lost its right wing and right leg.

The dragon's body greatly loses its balance, falls onto its right side, and brought down with it, its neck falls to the ground.

(I'll put an end to this.)

I tried to set my aim of the longswords onto the dragon's head⸺but, at that moment.

My eyes met with the dragon's.

⸺The dragon succeeded in again putting me in its line of vision.

Its eyes were stained red with anger.

It was to the extent where you'd think it could kill with only its gaze.

”⸺Goaaaaaa!”

By the time I had noticed, the dragon's magic had already activated.

The ground around me bulges, and the dirt tries to swallow me.

I desperately think of a way to breakthrough.

⸺What should I do!?

Then, I remembered how I s.h.i.+fted Arisa's ice wall with my magic.

It's not like I can't do the same with this dirt.

⸺I should be able to do it! Using my magic!

I image the earth in front of my going to the right and left, avoiding me, and release it.

(⸺Okay.)

The dirt in front of me avoids me.

I succeeded in s.h.i.+fting the flow of the dirt, and somehow get past it.

However, the dragon's magic doesn't stop. It sends 2 waves, 3 waves of magic at me. The earth blocks the dragon from my vision, and I lose the ability to attack. I continue to just cope with the earth flying at me.

This should be a great opportunity.

I destroyed the dragon's balance, and it'll easily fall if I aim at its head.

I need to somehow find a chance to attack⸺!

”Gugyaaaaaaaa!!!”

Along with the dragon's scream, the momentum of the earth suddenly stops.

”⸺Ed!”

I hear Arisa's voice.

From where I was in the middle of the earth, I jump out without any hesitation.

In order to bring to this dragon's vision⸺and to bring an end to this duel.

From what I could see of what remained of the dragon, its remaining limbs were frozen, and it's right hand was crushed by a huge ma.s.s of ice.

(So its scream from before was because of this⸺!)

The tiny gap that Arisa created⸺I don't let it pa.s.s.

The dragon's and my vision meets while run and fly a longsword, and although the dragon's right side is injured, it relies on its left side and aims at me with magic.

(This battle will last a moment⸺It'll be decided here!)

My longsword was driven into the dragon's left eye, and almost simultaneously the earth attack me.

The momentum of the earth blows me away.

However, while I was blown into the sky, I saw it.

The dragon lost its power, and fell.

Then Arisa ran over to me.

(……Arisa, you really are the best partner.)

From the shock of colliding with the ground, I lose consciousness.
