70 Episode 69 Minatonians and Desivatres (1/2)

First, I have to close the distance before the second breath comes.

At maximum speed, I aim at Leviathan's body and run into the wall of fish.

Once you're in range of the jumping fish, your vision is instantly blocked.

The shaking is intense as a large number of fish collide with you in any direction, but the armor reinforcement is faster than the damage from the collision.

However, this is not the case for visibility.

The general direction of the fish should be correct, so if you get within the range of the tentacles, you will be able to see their position, but you will have no idea what they are doing.

As you push forward through the fish, you see a very large reaction on the tentacula.

It's probably Leviathan, though I don't know which part of Leviathan it is.

At any rate, if you stick close to it, it will rarely breathe, so keep your distance.

But this reaction, it's moving so much.

The neck and other parts of the body that I saw before were almost immobile, like a fixed battery.

But the part I'm approaching now is swinging from side to side with a period of about three seconds and a width of about five meters.

And then, just as I thought it was moving aimlessly, it suddenly made a big move toward me and tried to knock me down.

I tried to attack it, but it didn't react much, suggesting that it was a part of the body that wouldn't take much damage even if cut.

It should not be in a position to be hit by a breath, but it is still very painful to not know what is going on around you.

You can't even tell which way to move to a better position to fight.

I've been using the tentacles only for scouting, and that was enough, but I'm going to increase the number of them.

I'll try doubling the number of plates for now.

I can see the outline slightly now.

It doesn't consume much MP, it's a very fuel-efficient spell to begin with.

Double it, then double it again.

While moving to avoid being hit by the breath, increase the number of tentacles.

Then, when you have increased the number of tentacles to 32, you will be able to understand the situation around you almost completely.

If you want to avoid attacks by flying needles, you should have no problem in a normal fight.

You should not fight at a distance of more than 20m, but it is the same if the opponent is a sub-dragon with breath.

The head seems to be out of the area of effect, but the situation suggests that I am near the tail.

First, I fly toward the upper part of the body, and then I scratch the body with my magic sword.

I can faintly hear the high-pitched sound I heard before the school of fish came out.

If that's a scream, it's probably working pretty well.

After moving for a while, you reach the neck area where you cut it before.

At most, it moves from the tail to the head, and that's ”a while” away.

The last time I fought here, I was dealt a strange hand, but I can't lose to Leviathan, whose plan has been exposed and a countermeasure has been made.

Even now, fish are still coming at me from all over the place, but as long as I know they're coming, they won't do any damage.

Thinking of this, but not being too proud, I maintain a close range to avoid being hit by the breath and cut off the head little by little.

The enemy is shouting and swinging its head from side to side, but it's no use.

Unless I fold his neck in half, he can't hit me with his breath.

That's the position.

I solved the problem of the sword not being long enough by cutting it twice diagonally like a woodcutter does when cutting a tree.

In less than a minute, the head is cut off, leaving about half of it.

It's a wonder it's still alive.

As I raised my sword to strike again, Leviathan behaved differently than before.

He suddenly bent his head downward from his left and right.

But still, it was not in a position to reach me with its breath.

The angle of its neck reaches its limit, and it stops with only its eyes looking at me.

I see Leviathan glaring at me through the fish for a moment, but that's it.

When I stopped looking at the head and started to disconnect again, Leviathan moved again.

It forced itself to look at me.

I hear a cracking sound, like bones breaking.

Of course, it's not mine, it's Leviathan's.

I thought for a moment to avoid the breath, but it was obviously too late.

It was probably preparing for the breath that it had stopped to stare at me, and the breath was already about to be released.

The replenishment of the magical armor was not advanced enough to withstand the first breath.

Thinking that he would not die, he held his magic sword sideways in the direction of the dragon for protection at least.

A moment later, the same overwhelmingly powerful flames I was hit with last time covered my vision.

The atmosphere from the flame itself is the same as last time.

However, I don't feel the sensation of my magic armor being cut down all at once like I did last time.

When I look at my hand, I see that the magic sword, which should be blue, is glowing red.

...... Is this the cause?

You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.

Fortunately, it seems that the breath was just a feeble attempt at a counterattack.

The breath didn't last as long as the first one, and it ended without doing any damage to me.

Immediately, Leviathan stops moving and begins to fall.

The fish is still rushing towards me, but Leviathan himself seems to be dead.

With a touch of my hand and a thought, the entire body of the fish is stored in the item box.

This means that the fish that's running into me is no longer my enemy.
