Episode 51.6 (1/2)

Sixth day of dungeon expedition. 13th of month two.

The Rocky Mountain's summit was within sight.

”Uwaa, look at that, Lecan! The scenery is so amazing. You can see everything we passed through so far. This must be what they mean by picturesque. But really, it's soo spacious. This dungeon is unbelievably vast, isn't it.”

Eda turned around as she got all excited.

However, Lecan cannot afford to turn around here.

He's glaring hard at the top of the mountain.

No.

He's looking at the thing beyond the mountain top.

It's still outside <3D Perceptions> range so its form is unknown but <Life Detection> depicts an overwhelming presence.

Realizing Lecan's state, Eda readied her <Bow of Yelvitz> and glared at the mountain top. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Then a gigantic head of a magic beast popped up from behind the mountain top.

”Eh?”

Eda sounded perplexed.

Then the shoulders came up, chest and then abdomen.

”H-hold on. Lecan? That's...”

Eventually, the behemoth showed up in its entirety atop the mountain.

It's still 200 step away from them.

Yet it's as if the entire thing is already right beside them.

”T-that's the Great Flame Dragon.”

Its height exceeds ten steps. Five times Lecan's. Its upper half is gigantic by itself, but its mass concentrates on the lower half, its legs are thicker than any giant trees.

THUD, THUD, the behemoth drew near leaving heavy thumping sounds with every step.

It stopped moving.

Glare, its giant pair of eyes scowl at Lecan.

Lecan broke into run toward the behemoth.

Followed by Eda a bit later.

Lecan changed course to the right.

Eda to the left.

Lecan ran up a slope and once he got to a point slightly higher than the behemoth, he charged at it. Eda also ran toward the behemoth from the opposite side.

Once they got to around 100 steps close, the Great Flame Dragon inflated its chest hugely before spewing out a white breath.

The breath shot out toward Lecan at tremendous speed.

Lecan dodged to the left.

But the white breath also changed its course following Lecan.

<Necklace of Intuador>'s barrier blazed up. Lecan reflexively covered his face with his left arm. His view has been completely obstructed. By this enormous attack both in size and power.

What's surprising is how the Great Flame Dragon kept spewing its breath without pausing and even spun around to shot it at Eda.

Even Eda whose nimbleness wouldn't fall behind Lecan had no way to dodge this attack.

She relied on <Necklace of Intuador> and crouched to minimize surface area of damage.

Grounds and rocks hit by the white breath burned and melted down.

(A breath that melts even rocks huh.)

(And it can keep shooting it for an extended period.)

(That's some unbelievable firepower.)

The Great Flame Dragon who spun clockwise while shooting its breath kept spinning round and round.

Its massive tail made its appearance. It's more like an extension of its body than an attachment at its base. That's just how thick it is. And it spans for quite a length, getting smaller toward the tip. There must be around ten steps from base to tip.

The dragon swung this tail while roaring terrifyingly. Everything it touches gets blown away, be it rocks or boulders.

Lecan greatly leaped backward.

”<Deploy>!”

He deployed <Shield of Wolkan> during the leap.
