197 196. Wind Dragon.txt (1/2)

Elfenriz's attack was the same as before, a body strike with a full-body weapon.

Combined with the Dragon Wind that followed it, it almost made me believe that the typhoon itself was coming in. This was a blow that was worthy of being called a disaster.

And the falling dragon's huge body collided with the spiral staircase.

Naturally, the spiral staircase shatters in an instant with an explosion sound that breaks the eardrums.

The Elfenries did not change their method of attack. It's exactly the same situation as in the previous battle. It's likely that he understands that the best way to attack is to lunge forward, taking advantage of the difference in body size. Certainly, no one will be able to return to the top by simply repeating that simple and strongest attack.

As I was thrown into the air, I thought about it.

You choose the simplest plan from the interception plan you had prepared. If my opponent tries to attack me with a monotonic attack, I'll just use a more monotonic attack than that. There is a foul in my hand right now that allows me to do this.

The plan is simple.

I close the distance in space with Defortion and get on Elfenries' back. Then, I'll waste no time in drawing out the ”magic stone” with ”Distance Mute”. That's all I need to do.

Elfenries, who collapsed the stairs with a rush, circles back through the sky.

Then it finds me falling and opens its jaws wide, almost swallowing the pile. It's trying to swallow me with every piece of the shattered staircase.

But I won't let it.

I draw the target until just before it enters my mouth and cast a spell.

''-- Magic 《Default》!

I used my new dimensional magic to compress the space above me.

The sky is distorted by the erosion of the dimensional attribute magic, and the concept of distance is destroyed.

As a result, the space above me shifts further upward. My body is caught by it, and my body is also lifted upwards.

The body being lifted high into the sky - it was a leap that defied all the laws of physics.

There is no such thing as a preliminary motion. It's a movement technique similar to instantaneous movement.

If Elfenries lost sight of me with this, it would be easier to talk about it - but of course, it's not going to be that easy.

It only took a moment for Elfenries' sun-like eyes to lose sight of me.

After feeling a part of the 《Dragon Wind》 caress my cheek, Elfenries immediately lifted his head upwards. Then, after putting my body in his eyes, he opens his jaws again and flies to swallow the enemy.

''--Next!　Magic, Form, Dimension, Decisive Operations (Gradiate), and Defaults!

I've already figured out what to do in case of a supplement.

I let a thousand dimensional attribute bubbles pop in the sky.

Probably, it's not my eyes that determine my location, but magic. His Dragon Wind is probably substituting for the sense organs, just like Arti's flame.

If so, you can trick his senses.

The bubble of the 《Form》 shifted the world a little bit, and the Elfenries' magical sense organs were going crazy. Then, with the 《Dimension Decisive Operation (Gradiate)》, he grasps the movement of Elfenries' eyes and the 《Dragon Wind》, finds the outside of his perception, and moves.

In short, it's an advanced version of the technique I always do - the one that disappears from people's sight.

''--!

Losing sight of the enemy, Elfenries was puzzled.

However, in order to immediately re-search for the enemy, he expanded the area of the Dragon Wind to a wide area. A wide area - that is, I tilted my awareness to a distance.

Then I would fly behind it and fly closer to the Elfenries.

And as I had originally planned, I succeed in getting both feet on the dragon's back.

The unprotected back is within reach.

Now it's time for force, not tricks.

I shout out my magic with the intention of putting all my magic power into it--!

Distance mute.

His right arm glowed a light purple color and stabbed through, ignoring the hard scales.

In the words of the grimoire, this was the moment when Aikawa Uzumi's 'realm' and Elfenries' 'realm' were now connected.

From a physical point of view, it would be like being bitten by a mosquito for Elfenries, who has a huge body like a cloud.

However, from a magical point of view, it was a situation where Elfenries' existence was eroded by a vicious pathogen (virus) called the dimensional wizard (Aikawa Kanami).

''Guh, gah, gaaaaaaa--!

The body of the Elfenries, which had been swimming gracefully in the sky until now, twisted.

And then there was a roar that could break your eardrums - no, a roar that could make blood spurt out of your ears if you were an ordinary person. I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than that.

I was defeated, so I gathered up my magic.

Even though I ate the 《Dragon's Roar》 and 《Dragon's Wind》 on my body, I didn't release only the 《Distance Mute》.

It's not that the dragon's attacks are warm. Rather, it's the opposite. The voice and wind alone, which would be just an aid to Elfenries, are about to be shaken off. I'm going to be torn off my arm even now.

After all, he is a rank 60 monster (dragon).

If they were fighting normally, they would have been crushed just because they weren't high enough in level.

That's why I won't miss this opportunity.

Focusing my consciousness on my right arm alone, I roamed the realm of Elfenries - searching (...).

I'll be looking for the magic stone that is the core of it.

It doesn't matter that it's a huge body. Volume and distance have no meaning for dimensional wizards.

That's what makes him a dimensional wizard.

This is the magic that crosses the 'realm' and the 'realm'.

It is the final and highest magic created by 'Saint Tiara' and perfected by 'Founder Kanami'.

At this point, even trivial matters such as the strength of the level are beyond the scope of this magic.

Distance mute.　Pull it out!

Grabbing the Elfenries' magic stone - snatching it and stealing it.

''Ggaaaaahhhh, ----!

At the same time, the vibrations hitting your skin fill the sky.

It wasn't a magnificent ”Dragon's Roar”, it was just a scream - the endgame of a creature that sensed the end of life.

There is only one end for a monster that has lost its own magic stone.

All of the huge bodies that covered the sky gradually became transparent and were replaced by light.

A rain of light rained down on the vast grassland world.

Just one Elfenries gives birth to the weather called Tear-Ray. It was a scene that clearly showed how high the density of the magic power of a rank 60 monster was.

[The title 'Chieftan of the Sky' has been acquired.

A correction of +0.01 is added to your skill level

I am thrown into the air. I cast the last ”Defortion” to avoid the impact of the fall and move to the ground.

Then I dodge the fragments of the spiral staircase falling from the sky and bask in the rain of light that falls.

'...... Now that I know how this world works, I don't need any more fancy magic. Just take your back and pull out the magic stone.

The fight lasted only a few seconds. The battle was over faster than the pieces of the destroyed spiral staircase falling from the sky.

In this other world, the 'magic stone' is the core of power.

If that's the case, attacking it would be the smartest way to fight. And I also found out that I'm a wizard who specializes in this.

It is no longer possible to be defeated by monsters that are only strong. It was a victory that I could be sure of.

Of course, there is a hint of emptiness.

Even though this is the world of swords and magic, I felt a little awkward, as if I was using a secret technique to clear it. But now is not the time to be obsessed with the fun of the game.

I'm sure I'll use any foul play to get back to earth as soon as possible.

He 'gazes' at the magic stone in his hand while offering a silent prayer to the Elfenries who were victims of that subterfuge.

[High Sky Beryl]

A collection of magical forces that rule the sky.

Drops from the highest-ranking wind-attribute monster.

My 'display' was praising the magic stone called High Sky Beryl.

This magic stone with the word 'highest rank' written on it might be worth it in Vyasia.

''The rest is experience .......''

Confirming the most expected number.

[Experience: 202345/135000]

However, the experience was lower than I had expected.

I had dreamed that I would go up about 10 levels in one fell swoop, so I was more than a little frustrated.

However, I'm definitely making progress. My mood is much brighter than when I was despairing of being stuck.

While checking the status after the end of the battle, he looked around.

The spiral staircase that was in the center of the plains has been broken, and it's impossible to go up to the 65th level.

There's no reason why I can't ascend it if I make use of 《Default》. However, since he fought sparingly, his remaining MP was not encouraging. I didn't dare to challenge the unknown sixty-fifth layer until I had consumed my spare magic power, the 'Ring of Dimension'.

I'll be satisfied with knowing that I can defeat the Elfenries today. Beyond this, I should go with Ryner. If it takes two of us, we should be able to save more MP for the fight ahead, and I'd like to get my level up.

Let's go back. We're not in a hurry yet.

I escape from the rubble scattered around me and head to the Connection, which is connected to the city.

This is how I successfully completed my second dragon slaying.

◆◆◆◆◆ ...

Then, on my feet after returning from the labyrinth, I visited Reynand's workshop in person.

Of course, the purpose--

”-Ho, 'High Sky Beryl,' huh? You've got a good one. This one is top-notch, even in 'Viasia'.

When Reynand-san saw the Elfenries magic stone, he praised it with the same unreserved praise as my display.

Seeing that it's a magic stone that can be used in this Viaisea, I pause in my gut. Then I immediately think about the armor that uses 'High Sky Beryl'.

The attribute is 'wind' from the display. It's a good thing that the attribute of my companion is the same as mine.

It's a good idea to use a sword again, just like in the case of Crescent Pectrazi.

You know what, Mr. Reynand? If possible, I'd like to use this to make my fellow knights stronger: .......

'You mean the kid I was with when I was here before. Does he have wind magic?

''Yes. Since I use wind magic all the time, I think it's just fine.

'Hmmm ....... But if you're going to make something seriously good, you'd want to make sure that guy has all the equipment he's using. There's a balance in equipment, too.

Thanks to his full cooperation the other day, Mr. Reynand is willing to do his best as a blacksmith. That detailed order is probably a sign that he is serious about it.

I've seen many times when Rainand has used rings and other magic tools to fight. It's possible that he may have magical tools planted all over his body. If the effect of what you are about to make and what you have hidden will be covered, your hard-earned magic stones will be wasted.

It seems that an inspection of the belongings is essential to strengthen the liner.

''That's right. I'll go ask Ryner for a moment. And while I'm at it, there are some things I want to collect.

As I recall, Ryner's favorite 'Rufbringer' is still broken. Thanks to Rowen and Alibers-san, it looks better, but I want to repair that one as well.

Since I was able to repair the other Spiritual Pollution Armors, the 'Ruf Bullinger' should be fine as well.

''Alright, today we're going to strengthen the monk's partner. Go immediately.''

Yes, sir.

Perhaps because our reinforcement is directly related to the Lord's salvation, Reynand-san happily hurries up.

I immediately leave Reynand-san's house and spread the Dimension into the city.
