Episode 51.6 (2/2)

Amidst all the flying rocks, the tail tip passed through right before Lecan's eyes.

Big and small rocks assaulted Lecan afterward.

<Shield of Wolkan> blocked the rocks, but not the countless pebbles. He could only endure the barrage.

Lecan grabbed <Myriad Dragon Cutter (Arzamscyll)> from <Storage> and plunged at the still spinning tail-mowing Great Flame Dragon.

He slashed at its right leg. Not just once. Two, three, four, five, he kept on slashing. The Grace was extremely effective, it cut through the gigantic Great Flame Dragon's right leg easily. However, it doesn't cut that deep. And Great Flame Dragon is overtly big, with overtly thick legs.

(This'll take forever.)

Lecan kept slashing as he went around to the right.

Great Flame Dragon spun to the left, going after Lecan.

As he went around the dragon's huge body, Lecan put away the <Myriad Dragon Cutter>, took <Comet Cutter> and put all his mana into it.

An extra large magic blade emerged. The maximum length he rarely ever deployed. It's more than two steps long. Enough to exceed the Great Flame Dragon's leg thickness.

Lecan lunged at the dragon's leg and drove <Comet Cutter> onto the right leg.

”What?”

<Comet Cutter> phased through Great Flame Dragon's right leg.

Lecan leaped back in a fluster and went around to the right of the dragon ocne again.

After a slight pause, the dragon roared in anger.

(Looks like it did hurt this thing.)

(Yet the blade didn't cut through.)

(What's going on?）

He plunged once again and swung the <Comet Cutter> at the dragon's right leg.

But it didn't cut it.

(Uh.)

(Not good.)

(Used up too much mana.)

Manifesting the maximum length consumes a huge amount of mana. Maintaining that demands a similarly huge amount.

Lecan erased the magic blade and put <Comet Cutter> away.

The Great Flame Dragon roared, stopped moving, inflated its chest while inhaling greatly and started converging its mana.

It's trying to shoot its infernal breath.

Eda had retreated outside the tail's range, shooting her magic bow all the while. Her attacks produced small explosions around the Great Flame Dragon's head and face, but it didn't seem to have dealt any damage. These arrows likely will never go through the hide no matter how many she shoots.

”Eda! Get over here!”

Lecan took a 30 step distance from the Great Flame Dragon. He drank Magenta Potion, and signaled the running Eda to hide behind him.

The Great Flame Dragon unleashed its incandescent breath.

”<Waldona>!”

Lecan put his left hand gripping the shield forward while reciting the spell.

The rushing incandescent breath got reflected by the <Magic Mirror of Ryin> right away. The reflected breath squarely hit the Great Flame Dragon yet the breath wouldn't stop. An overload of light and heat stripped their vision. As Lecan kept making small adjustment to the shield's direction to reflect the unending breath attack, he plunged his right hand into the hidden pocket in his leather armor, gripped <Guardian Jewel of Zana> and poured his the maximum amount of mana into it.

The breath eventually stopped.

Looking at it, the right half of the Great Flame Dragon has been burned and shaved down from the reflected breath. Its right shoulder has been gouged off too, its small--relative to its body size--right foreleg is also gone from the elbow down.

The leftover left eye glared hard at Lecan before it marched forward with its huge body.

”<Reduction>!”

Lecan turned his shield back to gauntlet form, took <Sword of Agost> out, and gripped it with both its hand before he too rushed ahead.

The Great Flame Dragon crouched down and opened its mouth greatly.

Its upper and lower jaws looked like the full rows of hundreds of swords.

Its gigantic face skimmed the ground as it went for Lecan.

Making use of his running start momentum, Lecan lifted <Sword of Agost> overhead and swung it down the Great Flame Dragon's cranium. A single strike loaded with the maximum power boost effect of <Guardian Jewel of Zana>.

He could feel the sensation of crushing a wine barrel.

Lecan got blown away. He spun in the air and stuck his landing.

Great Flame Dragon tumbled down, sending rocks flying everywhere before it eventually stopped moving.
