I was at the center of the explosion, and its magic was inevitable.

The next thing I knew, I was lying on my back on 99 layers of ground.

On the sky-high ceiling, I could see the red amoebic blood stirring and the huge cavity I had kicked out of was beginning to repair itself.

'Gah, ah--'

I groaned.

But now my body was almost completely undamaged.

Looking at my surroundings, even though it was such an explosion, there was no damage on the 99th layer.

It was a magic that did not involve physical force.

And yet, my body didn't move at all.

I withstood both the vibrations and the wind from Serdra's magic, the Dragon Slayer's Dragon Blade (Dragon Genocide Ardor). I ate the attack, and next time I was confident that I wouldn't move slightly.

However, I crashed.

The reason was simple: before I knew it, the flying parts were lost from my back.

The moment I was caught in the explosion, the wings of the dragon, which were so vibrant, lost their substance and were replaced by a red mist.

What's more, the arms, legs, skin, and teeth have all reverted to those of a legitimate person as the red mist dissipated.

This is the first time I've seen 'magic offset (counter magic)'.

I instinctively understood that I had been 'Dragonization' counteracted.

In other words, the explosion I just saw is a secondary one.

The main effect of the magic was this untransformation.

Exactly, it would be a magic that could be called a dragon killer. And it's also a completely countermeasure magic against me.

Is this magic that I have never heard of, is it the 'spellcraft' of a thousand years ago?　It was a very difficult and special 'magic formula'. And yet, it had a degree of perfection and dignity that was worthy of the name of ancient magic, and it was also novel and fresh and genuine.

I can't put my thoughts together well. I feel unusually weak, and I can't even move my limbs.

I know, I know, but after an excessive transformation, the burden of it is overwhelming.

'Ha, ha, ha, ha ......'

Because I was prepared to never return, the wear and tear was intense and I was out of breath.

However, I could still fight (and do it), I was filled with the will to fight--

Haha ......, haha ......, haha ......--

I was supposed to be able to fight, but every cell in my body wanted to rest.

With the 'dragonization' over, my brain mistakenly thought that the fight was over.

It was as if my body was telling me to wait for a moment, as it would repair itself even stronger.

Even now, I feel like I'm going to swoon and easily pass out from the bloodlust.

''This, this magic ......, kooky ......''

In an attempt to somehow connect with my consciousness, I voice my own reminder out loud.

As if to comfort me, an explanation is thrown at me from above.

'It doesn't matter if you don't know about it. It's the last ancient magic that was lost on me.

Serdra stands beside me.

I only move my face to check on her, but she has already stopped bleeding and is fully recovered.

Nevertheless, he looks somewhat tired and speaks while looking down at me.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few weeks. ...... On Earth, a lighter version of it called ”blood pulse dilution” is popular, right?　That's the big book of magic.

He was sure of victory.

Serdra fogged up his battle spirit and put together a difficult word that didn't suit him.

Gently, like a doctor, he tells me that the magic with the now-mysterious name of 《Dragon Slayer's Dragon Blade (Dragon Genocide Ardor)》 was the most advanced treatment.

''If this is the case, it was obvious that one of us would surpass the 'demon' and become a 'complete dragon'. Before that, I was allowed to use it. It's foul, sorry. ...... That kind of painful-looking future is all but absent in our 'plan'. Kuh-hah.

The smiling figure is the gentle Seldora who teaches me everything not long ago.

After releasing the magic 《Dragon Slayer's Dragon Blade (Dragon Genocide Ardor)》, he had suddenly calmed down.

But it's clear that it's only temporary.

He would only be mending his mind by 'compensating' for something in his mind with the magic 'chanting' just now.

The man who clings to 'chanting' as well as God, looks at my completely defeated figure and sneers.

'Kuhahahaha ....... You see, Snow, well, you failed. ...... Of course I meant it, I meant it well. The soldiers on the ground, Diprakra, Kounel, and Blood Land, you're the only one who can do it. ...... Do you need a translation? I'll lend you some books I can recommend later. Anyway, you're cool like a hero, but you can't beat someone who can't win. You said before that you are willing to try again and again, and you are right. I can make you lose the dragon man! --It's all over. And you'll never reach the realm of the gods if you keep stumbling over me. Hahahahahahaha!

Serdra laughed and was relieved.

It was probably because he had been able to finish off the sturdy and troublesome Snow Walker.

But it was also too much care and too safe a way to defeat it.

Even when I lost my mind and went out of control (...), so all along I've been doubting and trusting Seldora's words.

'Seldora ......, just because you can't reach ......, don't run away ....... Let's go ......, even if you can't get back .......

I invite him to finish.

But Seldra deliberately doesn't listen and sits down beside me with a huge sigh.

When he finally settles down to his waist, Serdra looks up at the strange post-war sky and speaks in a droning tone as he continues.

'Even if I never become 'human' again?　Ha, you're a really nice guy, Snow. It's ......, but that's enough, right?　We've tried hard enough, don't you think?　I was born biased as shit, but I struggled to live. It's time for me to take a break, okay?　Isn't it easier to pray than to fight?　Wouldn't it be easier to heal them than to hurt them?　People, it's much, much easier to be 'happy' than 'unhappy'. ......

Telling me to get comfortable, Serdra patted my fallen head.

It would be a kindness to comb my blue hair, wildly disheveled and spread out from the fight, to give it a rest.

Terrible.

It was too much of a terrible indulgence.

”You're both sweet and flowery,” I said angrily, moving my weak lips to retort.

'It's easy, but not ......, not ......, not 'partner' then. You will not be able to support Kanami, .......

You can't sustain a god. You can't give up equality. I couldn't do it either.

”You can't ......, alone, ....... The ......, which fails ......, is ....... So ......--

I tried to respond to the immediate answer with an immediate response.

But I didn't have the strength in my throat anymore, let alone my mouth.

I don't have the strength in my body to make the vibrations tremble anymore.

I am astonished at this first experience.

''Saying that, you're going to invite all your enemies to join you?　You're so flowery, you can't even laugh. I can't, I can't. It doesn't matter how many people are in the first place, it doesn't matter how many people are in the first place. That's not the level of the problem, that's why God is God.

Even if you can't, ......, even if it's a painful road, ......, don't make a mistake ......--

Seemingly bored with my persistence, Serdra coldly shuts him down.

Together, I feel my consciousness slipping away.

But I don't give up until the end, and I choose my words.

I deliver the most important words to Serdra.

'Hey ......, Sel, Dora is ......, Kanami to ......--, what, tell me ......, I got--

'Is that what Kanami taught you?　Me, Kanami, ......?

When I turned my eyes to Seldra, I saw that she was thinking seriously.

I wanted to watch his face change, but my eyelids begin to fall.

I feel like I'm almost there, and I feel like I can get a chance to convince her.

But Serdra was too strong.

Too strong by nature, too strong because of his greed, too strong because of his 'curse'. I can't continue this 'discussion' of clashing hearts with him for long.

Perhaps it has always been like that for a thousand years.

Because of his overwhelming strength, Serdra had never been pressed to the core of himself by anyone.

Currently (now), I'm the only 'dragon man' (Dragon Newt) like him - and yet, I'm the only one who can do it.

I could absolutely convince Seldora to do this--

If we just had a little more time...

The frustration of defeat is as heavy as lead and drops my eyelids.
