78 Episode 78 "Crash. Cheat Daughter-in-law Corps VS Wyvern".txt (1/2)

He was still a young flying dragon (wyvern).

It was only recently that he began to enjoy fighting the ”human” race.

To him, the ”humans” were a very mysterious creature.

They were small and weak. And yet, as a race, they are growing in strength.

Dragons are so huge and strong, yet they only control a small area.

I'm not convinced.

I think we should fight to find out who is the better race.

If the 'humans' were those that the great Heavenly Dragon had sided with, they should show that much resolve.

He then headed to his newly found hunting grounds.

A long road with humans and demi-humans coming and going from east to west. It's just the right nava.

”──────GI, Rooo

His eyes now followed the little carriage on the street.

Guru, his throat rumbled.

I just nawabaried this place. ...... Was that a challenge to myself?

Even though he was the lowest seat, the flying dragon was a proud dragon clan.

A mere crawler on the ground cannot remain silent after having his Nawabari invaded.

...... You should know what you are getting into,...... ”human”.

”A mere flying dragon (wyvern) would do well to know your place!

Iris shouted at the flying dragon as it appeared.

Iris sat on the carriage's gohja stand, her dress down to her chest, exposing her clean shoulders to the dawn air.

On her shoulders are dragon scales (scales). This is the proof that she has the blood of the 'Sea Dragon Kerkator'.

''This is the sea dragon priestess Iris-Hafeumea, who has the blood of the sea dragon Kerkator!　There is no hostile intent!　All I want is a vacation with my brother and all his friends!　Allow me to pass. I'm sure that even though they live in different places on land and in the air, both you and Iris are still part of the dragon's family.

You will be able to see the scales on his shoulders as he shows the flying dragon his scales and continues to shout.

The movement of the flying dragon, which had been flying in from right beside us, has changed.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

It was a flying dragon with blue scales. It was more than ten meters in size. It had wings like a pterosaur and clawed hind legs. And it waved a long tail that looked like a whip. Its golden eyes are looking at me from above. It would be easier if you let me through, but...

”GIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I'm not gonna make it.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's gonna be a little rough from now on.

”Let's go! ”I promised I'd get you back to the sanctuary. Do with it what you will!

The horses responded in good spirits.

The two - the two that weren't - I told the two horses about the situation yesterday.

We are in a hurry to get ahead, so we have to pass through the area where the flying dragons might be.

If possible, we will fight off the flying dragons. But if we don't think we can win, we must run away.

I've also explained to them that we have the power of both ...... briefly.

They seemed to like me and Cecil, and they answered both to carry us and to keep the secret.

'We originally wanted to be knight riders, not carriage horses,'

”Fighting for your husband and your daughter is the joy of horses!

It's nice to hear you say that, but I'm not sure what it means to be a horse person.

And we left ”Charka's Town” before dawn.

Two hours later - we are on the road leading to the ”Recreation Area”.

The flying dragon appeared just a few minutes ago.

First of all, since we are both members of the dragon's family, we decided to have Iris threaten us.

In the gohja-dai of the swinging carriage, Iris exposes the scales she called up by spraying water on them and stretching her chest.

It's different from the other day. It's a ”dragon maiden” who fights with her own will.

You'll be able to get a good deal more out of them.

I thought that a certain amount of pressure would be understood by Iris, who is descended from that blood, if she was against a dragon, but it seems to have worked.

''Alright, keep moving forward!''

”Riddle me this. Yes!

The carriage has picked up speed.

Everyone is waiting in their scheduled positions.

Rita and Aine are on the roof of the carriage. Rita has the balance of a beastman, holding Aine up so she doesn't fall off.

Cecil is next to me across from Iris.

Raphilia should be in the carriage, ready for her next mission.

”Aine, what's his move?

On a shaky carriage. It's hard to reach my voice.

So, I call out to Aine in my head.

I've already done the ”mind linkage” thing.

Aine's ability to observe is the key to this battle.

........................

Huh?　No answer came back.

'Aine. Are we clear?　Aine?

”............ ha!

There was a reaction.

'I'm sorry. It was just the 'big sister' and the 'girl' in Aine clashing with each other.'

'I'm not sure about ......, are you okay?'

”I'm fine. My sister is invincible. It's a wyvern move, right?

There was a pause of a few seconds.

Aine is on the roof, staring at the flying dragon.

'According to my ”kinetic observation”, I'm putting a lot of effort into my wings. I'm continuing to make one or two more laps ...... turn.

The skill I made yesterday, 'Dynamic Body Observation', I gave it to Aine.

Even from here, I can see the 'color of tension' of the flying dragon's body. You should be able to read his movements.

''──Na-kun!　I'm working on my tail!　It looks like the flying dragon (wyvern) is going to swoop down and attack you with its tail!''

Yes, sir!　Then move back, Iris. I want Raphilia instead!

Iris returns to the carriage and Raphilia comes out to the goshentai instead.

All around us, the grasslands end and the left and right sides become sheer rocky mountains.

The flying dragon, which was circling directly above us, has changed course and is trying to go around in front of us.

Is it coming from the front....

The total length of the flying dragon, with its wings spread out, is about 15 meters. The tail alone is several meters long.

If it flew into you, the carriage would be blown away with a single blow.

I just confirmed that.

All the way up here, I saw the attacked carriage. Crumpled up like a giant cane whipped into a mangled mess. It's a miracle no one died from it. But thanks to that, we learned how to fight the flying dragon.

I've thought of a plan. We also decided on a plan.

If a flying dragon is going to interfere with the rest of us, I'll get rid of it as soon as possible.

Rafilia!　Activate your skills! ”Aine, signal to Rita.

In my voice and in my head, I simultaneously give instructions.

''Understood, master──Invoke 'Mui Kashashou, LV 1'!

Rafilia activates the skill next to me.

”Best of luck for the party--activate 'Bad Luck Annihilation Lv 1'!

And then Rita's song echoed through the streets - our movements and senses accelerated.

”Mui Kashashyo LV1

Increase the reaction time of your party members.

Not only their physical movements, but also their thinking and decision making becomes faster than normal.

The scenery as it passes by changes to slow motion. At the same time, the swaying of the carriage becomes less. Because the horses' senses are accelerating, they match the carriage's movement to the road surface. I instruct them to slow down further. Raphilia jumps down from the stopping carriage.

Holding a bow in one hand and a large number of arrows in one hand.

'O Raphilia-Grace! Send a rain of arrows down on my enemies!

A flying dragon (wyvern) descends from several hundred meters away and comes toward us from the front. It appears to stop moving.

There's no way Rafilia's arm would miss.

You can't be sure.　Here we go... 'Archery in the rain, Lv 1'.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch!

Five arrows fly from Raphilia's bow at the same time.

The ”Downpour Archery” is an attack skill that allows you to fire multiple arrows at once.

Moreover, it now comes with the ”Annihilation of Bad Luck Level 1” that increases your luck.

Annihilation of Bad Luck Lv 1

Wash away misfortune by touching yourself or others with your hands (bringing good luck).

The activation time is a few minutes. During this time, Luck's parameters skyrocket.

'Iris!　Additional arrows for Raphilia!

'Yes!　Go ahead, Master!

The carriage has long since stopped.

Iris gets out of the carriage with a bundle of arrows in her hands. Raphilia takes the arrows and clutches them again.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

The sound of the bowstring and Raphilia's hands never stop. Thanks to the ”Incomparable Singing”, even the bowstring is in slow motion. Shooting, nocking, and releasing arrows - a series of attacks without a minute's notice.

The result is an army of flying arrows in a single mass.

It looks like a computer-generated image, but it's real.

The flying dragon rushed headfirst into it.

''Gui, guiaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A scream.

A flying dragon screams out of the corner of my eye.

Thanks to 'Bad Luck Annihilation', the arrows hit the gaps in its scales and weak skin. A lot of arrows are stuck in the base of its tail and wings.

Aine. What's he doing?

He's going up. It's already taken care of.

Aine reports the enemy's movements in 'kinetic observation'.

The flying dragon shook its head, flapping its wings and surging up.

I returned the magic sword Leggy that I was about to pull out to its sheath.

I was going to use 'Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) LV1' when I got in time, but I didn't need .......

I'm already stuffed (・・・・・・).

Because the most powerful biological weapon is stuck to the body of the flying dragon.

Aine waved the 'Hagane's Mop' on the roof.

The Elder Slime that was blown up by 'Demon Sweep Lv 1' is stuck to the flying dragon's neck.

It would have been hidden from the flying dragon, behind a large number of arrows. On top of that, Aine sent the slime flying just as he was shaking his head to dispel the arrows.

Aine is 'kinetic observation' and is staring at his movements.

If I know his movements, I can understand the gaps. The movement of the flying dragon, it seems to be surprisingly simple.

It's not a bad idea to have a good time. Cover the nose and mouth of the flying dragon (wyvern)!

Yes, my Lord. I never get bored with you, Lord!

The raised magic sword Leggy waved.

Leggy activated the cheat skill 'Mucus Creature Control'. He sends instructions to the Elder Slime. The Elder Slime that was attached to his neck begins to move towards his head.

It burns. He says he's going to take out the strong (wyvern) with the weak (slime).

'Aine, what's his condition?'

”...... No change. ...... No. There's a lot of tension in my neck and nose area. Mr. Slime, I think you got it.

'Fugua──────, fugger!　Funga: ────────!

An agonizing scream rang out.

The flying dragon is shaking its head frantically above us. He keeps turning and turning as if he's forgotten about us. The slime is blocking its nose and mouth.

The flying dragon's hands are fused to its wings. Its tail never reaches its face.

It can't get past the slime on his face.

”Again in the name of Ilisu Hapheumea, be warned!　Walk away!

Iris cries out, poking her head out of the carriage.

Her green hair flutters in the wind, and she's pumping her little fists up to the sky.

'Iris and her friends just want to travel. They just want to pass through here!　You, too, must return to the mountains!　This is not your home, is it?

”HUGYAAAAAAA!　Fuga──────!

I'm struggling in the air, flying dragon.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. I'm not going to run away.

I'm sure they're not going to run away. I'm sure he's going to come down from above! He's coming down from above!

Aine shouted.

Even I, who didn't have 'kinetic observation' skills, understood.
