Dragon Extermination 2 (2/3)
A flight of flare wyverns!? [Fahren]
The noble mage cried out as soon as we got to the deck, prompting all of us to look ahead.
A group of winged, dragon-like creatures could be seen floating in the air, surrounding our airship from a distance. Among them, there were also several wyverns that appeared to be bracing themselves to ram their bodies against the airship. That might be what that has led to the vibration earlier.
..is this possibly, dangerous?
I dont think this is just possibly dangerous. I have a feeling that this is a dangerous situation.
Their sizes are gigantic. The wingspan of each of them is about 7 or 8 metres. At first glance, they looked like normal dragons.
In order to surround the airship, quite a number of the wyverns grouped together as they drew closer to the airship. Seriously, what are we going to do?!
I felt like I was about to pee myself. Actually, I think I have wet myself a little.
I could feel my pee trickling down little by little, the insides of my underwear are starting to feel warmer. I understand. My pee will soon become cold and, by then it will feel highly unpleasant.
I earnestly hope I can find a solution that would be able to keep the leaked out urine warm during this fight.
This looks bad. The wind barrier put up is not strong enough to withstand the wyverns breath attack or body slam. If we are attacked by that many of them at once, well definitely crash. [Fahren]
H-Hii.
No way..
Mercedes-chan and Sophichans cries could be heard in response to ossans mutterings.
Theyre the same when it comes to their mental fortitude.
It cant be helped. This is the time for me and ossan to come forth.
Fahren-san, Im sorry but could you accompany me? [Tanaka]
Umu. I would of done so anyway, you didnt even have to tell me. [Fahren]
What a reliable ossan.
If I were a woman, Id fall for him. Theres no doubt about that.
Leaving the others on the deck, we made our way to the side of the airship.
In an open space that is roughly a dozen tatami mats in size, we turned towards the flight of wyverns in the sky.
I had a premonition that this is like an encounter that you would see before a battle in a game.
By the way, what are the stats of these guys?

Are you serious?! Arent these stats around the same as the high orc?
Their agility is twice as high. Even though the endurance is about half of the high orcs, their STR and INT are somewhat high. In short, the most effective method to combat the wyverns would be to take all of them down in one shot.
Although, if I were to miss my first attack, they are likely to respond with a deadly counterattack. These kinds of enemies would usually make their appearance in the last dungeon, and deplete all of a low level players recovery items. Its the type of enemy that is hated the most by users who like clearing stages at low levels.
Rather, what are the chances of winning with my current stats?
Name: Tanaka
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Level: 35
Job: Alchemist
HP: 4909/4609
MP: 99500000/99500000
STR: 375
VIT: 560
DEX: 852
AGI: 442
INT: 7922000
LUC: 29
As usual, the INT and MP are the only ones that have increased by a miraculous margin.
With an exception to LUC, the other stats are several times higher than Mercedes-chans.
That said, it would still be dangerous.
The possibility of a one-hit-kill doesnt seem high.
Nevertheless, this is not the time for despair. Seeing that I have defeated the high orc the same way, my magic could still overpower their endurance in a single hit.
Kill them before they kill you if not itll work out somehow. In actuality, if I dont figure something out now, it would be really bad.
Since it has come to this, I should prepare myself for the worst.
This is all for the sake of the house. Its all for my home.
Aa, when I think of it this way, I could feel my courage coming back to me.
My dear beloved home.
Please bestow courage upon me.
They have completely surrounded the airship. It might be quite unsettling to act separately but, Fahren-san, could you return to the rear of the ship? Leave the area around the bow to me! [Tanaka]
Hou, you sound quite confident there. The number of wyverns there are much higher. Is that fine with you? I have come to understand that healing magic is your forte though. [Fahren]
My other magic might look cute compared to my healing magic but, it does have a somewhat high offensive power. [Tanaka]
I understand. Then Ill leave it to you. Ill step back and see what youve got. [Fahren]
Thank you very much. [Tanaka]
Wait stop! W-What should I be doing!? I I! [Ester]
She could have just stayed back on the airship shivering in fright but, she wanted to come with us instead.
You will be his backup. [Fahren]
I-I understand! [Ester]
Even though shes someone with a self-important attitude, she nodded obediently. Was it because of the noble mage? Or was it due to her realization that we are currently in a dire situation? She would look cute if only she acted like this on daily basis.
Well, it has nothing to do with me even if theres a change in this non-virgins behaviour.
Whats important now are the wyverns.
After distributing specific roles to everyone, each member made their move accordingly.
On noticing us approaching them, the opponents that were initially preparing to ram their body against the airship halted their actions.
*Gururururu* They seem to be making a strange sound. It sounds like theyre scrutinizing us.
It looks like the group of monsters were observing the situation.
What is this? Are they planning to fly? The same as us?
It was as though I was able to understand their conversations.
I should not miss out on this opportunity. If this juice continues trickling down any more than this, the colour of my underwear might change. This must be avoided at all cost.
At the very least, I want preserve my dignity until I obtain the dragons liver.(EN:lol why is the author so obsessed with pee)
That is why, this is the time to display my pride and willpower.
Ester-chan. [Tanaka]
W-What is it!? [Ester]
Just watch and learn. This is something that you will not learn in school. [Tanaka]
An ambiguous sexual harassment.
Its a line that I wanted to say at least once.
I raised my arm over my head.
!!.. [Ester]
Numerous fireballs appeared where she was staring.
The number of fireballs released were far more than the time of the high orc battle. There is a lot more space in the sky compared to last time so I was able to spread the fireballs all over.
Moreover, I have more than enough MP at my disposal. I produced several times more fireballs than the number of wyverns flying in the air.
Was it because my INT increased when I leveled up? The size of the individual fireballs looks big, at about 1 metre in diameter.
This feels great.
Wha.. [Ester]
The blonde haired loli held her breath at the sight.
Would you want to drink my juice together? That is not something that I can say.(EN:lol wut) (TL: dont ask xD)
These are what real fireballs look like. [Tanaka]
That was cool of me. Seriously.
If these are not sufficient in bringing them down, then its game over for me.
Please. Please let these fireballs work.
My favourite fireballs.
Go!!! [Tanaka]
I swung my right arm forward, launching the fireballs at an incredible speed. One after another balls of fire were released towards the group of wyverns flying in the sky.
By linking the wyverns as flying targets, each of the fireballs homed in on them like missiles, creating an unstoppable force.
The wyverns naturally reacted to it and tried evading the attacks before they were hit.
However, due to the blazing force, the wyverns were not able to dodge all the attacks, resulting in the wyverns being hit consecutively.
