Chapter 86 – 15. Reverse Heaven (6)
“That… Shiana? I’m really sorry, but could you lend me your coat?”
“Sweet♡ Yes, yes?”
“See the fog over there? To get through that, you need something to cover your body. The protein dissolves, but it doesn’t corrode your clothes, so if you cover yourself with a cloak, you’ll probably be able to get close to the sea dragon.”
Sanya decided to borrow Sianna’s fancy uniform for a very short time.
Fighting through the fog is sure to get your clothes dirty, but you can go back and buy another one later.
She had been using her magic for a long time, so her face was flushed red.
Even with the single movement of her pulling her arms off to take off her coat, he groaned and barely took off her clothes.
“Quickly… Get rid of it and come… The wind feels weird every time it touches me…♡”
“…Okay. Be patient with me a little longer.”
The movement of rubbing her thighs made Sanya feel strange for no reason.
She felt that Ciana would lose her sanity in just a little while, so she had to slay her sea dragon in haste.
Of course, the difficulty of defeating the sea dragon did not plummet by attacking her weakness, her yeokrin.
It was because Yeokjin was only a weak point that could inflict deeper damage, and it was only possible to approach it by enduring the sea dragon’s merciless attack.
Also, the bloody scales, which seemed to have reversed the color from the existing sea dragon, were also suspicious.
Does she remember 30 years ago when she hung on the scales and attacked her neck? Now it feels like she can’t even hold the scales with her hands.
“I’ll have to hit it once.”
Sanya wrapped Sianna’s cloak around her body.
Her body was noticeably smaller than Sianna’s, so it was shaped to enclose her head.
“I may not be able to completely cover it, but… I just have to push back what I can’t block. Change the battle mode.”
[The hydroacoustic detection system changes to combat mode.]
The flow of her magical power that flowed into Sanya’s eyes slowly changes.
Unlike the normal mode, which is specialized in search and detection, the battle mode thoroughly provides detailed information on the targeted enemy.
Psychokinesis-type awakeners have inferior physical abilities compared to physical-type awakeners, and their ability to apply their abilities is inferior to natural-type awakeners.
So, after thorough research, Sanya devised a systematic support system to support her abilities.
[Remaining magic attribute: 91%]
On the right side of her field of vision, a small white gauge displayed the amount of remaining magic power as a numerical value.
Due to the shockwave hitting the mana at once, it was already a situation where about 10% of the total mana was lost.
“Before that, I’ll make sure to kill you… You dirty worm bastard.”
If I can’t kill it here and fall down, I don’t know how that terrible monster will destroy the world during the period of magic recovery.
So now, right here, you have to finish it for sure.
A match that could not be finished 30 years ago will finally come to an end today.
“You’ve definitely changed, but I’m different from 30 years ago!”
Sanya leaped high towards the slow-blinking sea dragon, as if he had fully recovered from the shockwave’s internal injuries.
First of all, I need to get rid of that intrusive fog.
Even if it is a phenomenon bound by strangeness, the fog is a part of the natural phenomenon, and even if it pushes the air, the blood-colored liquid will not touch Sanya.
What is needed is a wave that completely clears the atmosphere around the body.
When a pebble is dropped on the surface of the water, the image of ripples spreading out is quickly conjured up in my head.
Sound waves are waves that propagate through compression and expansion of a medium.
That means, if you have enough energy and enough medium, you can spread the atmosphere like an explosion.
“Sunspot Explosion!”
Sanya hurled the mass of compressed magical power into the center of the fog as if hitting the floor with a marble.
The magic that exploded in response to her voice was converted into a powerful wave that quickly cleared the surrounding fog.
[Magic Remaining: 89%]
The fog, which is part of the mystery, had the property of quickly returning to its original form.
Sanya leaped again through the slowly-recovering fog hole, holding onto her cloak so that it wouldn’t blow away.
For now, it’s a satisfying start.
But perhaps the real hurdle is just the beginning.
Even if he passed through the fog and reached the front of the sea dragon, it would be unlikely that his body would be intact if he held those scales that glowed in a bizarre color with his hands.
What should I do? Let’s think quickly, Sanya.
“First of all, the sea is safe… Let’s aim for a long-distance strike.”
She turned her head and looked at the island she had passed.
Even at a glance, a huge number of small monsters were rushing at the professors in groups.
They were also in a difficult situation right now to seek help from others.
Sanya looked up at the sea dragon with its red eyes poking at her while floating on her water surface using gas propulsion applied with sonic control.
“Crrr rr rr rr rr.”
“Did you get phlegm? Why are you scratching your throat?”
Cheesy joke.
Even though there are no humans around, she continues to tease her mouth.
In an attempt to somehow forget the harsh feeling of loneliness, Sanya spit out random words without going through her brain.
“Hey, earthworm. If I catch you today, I’m going to peel off the scales and eat chueotang. If you don’t want to be a health food, hurry up.”
“Kwoaaaaa!”
The sea dragon opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and spewed out a thick yellow liquid.
As Sanya leaped quickly to dodge her liquid, the water immediately froze where she had just stood.
Blasphemy!
Similar to dragon’s breath, commonly called breath, but with an absurdly short interval and vast range.
Without her combat aids, it was such a speed that even she could hardly avoid seeing each lump of her liquid.
‘Certainly stronger than before.’
After the sea dragon’s attack ended, Sanya managed to avoid her barrage of breaths, and she leaped again and landed on the frozen block of ice.
The yellow liquid has the property of freezing, and the red liquid has the property of corrosion.
It was a simple pattern, but she could never be caught off guard as each attack was fatal.
“Did you spit out all the phlegm? Then I’ll go too!”
I can’t target her weakness yet because I’m holding her neck short.
First of all, a wide range attack to peel off all those ominous scales was the priority.
If you can get on the sea dragon’s body, the rest becomes very simple.
The attack to be used this time is also Shock Wave.
However, it is not a form of collecting and firing energy at one point as before, but a method of scattering and overlapping waves over a wide range to cause a chain explosion.
“Shock Wave!”
With the thought of destroying all the scales, he held down his magic power to the limit, and then, in an instant, blasted it violently in all directions.
The waves, which were already powerful in themselves, were further amplified through constructive interference, emitting a raging sound that seemed to tear the air apart.
[Remaining magic attribute: 78%]
Perhaps it was because he consumed too much mana at once, his eyes spun.
Sanya held onto her head, complaining of a dizzying headache, and looked up at the sea dragon with difficulty.
“Kieeaek! Kwaaaaa!”
The sea dragon let out a painful scream and twisted its body, causing damaged scales to fall into the sea.
The appearance of the sea dragon revealed after the afterglow of the explosion had gone was quite different from before, so anyone could say that it had suffered considerable damage.
[Warning: Excessive energy was used at one time. Temporary magic backflow may occur.]
“Damn it… I wish I had a recovery type irregular by my side… Ugh!”
For a moment, she was delighted with the noticeable wound, but with the warning message from the auxiliary system, Sanya suffered excruciating pain that pierced her skin.
It feels like piercing each pore of your skin with a sharp awl.
It was because the energy that was supposed to circulate around the essence was suddenly lacking due to the unreasonable use of mana.
Sanya tried to somehow get her keuty body up and lunge at the sea dragon, but her sea dragon’s movement was one beat faster than hers.
Her scales had absorbed most of her actual shock, and the sea dragon, who had come to her senses quickly, opened her mouth wide, thinking that this time it would be time to finish her off.
“Sir, foot…!”
Barely moving his limp legs, he rolled over to avoid the liquid.
Once and then again. Each time her column of ice rose higher, the area she could roll over became smaller and smaller.
‘If this continues, I’ll drown in the sea…’
Strangely, the physical condition did not return to normal even though the mana regurgitation had already lasted for nearly a minute.
Was there some kind of debuff that she couldn’t figure out even though she sensed it as closely as possible?
Even if I tried to move her mana, it only added to the pain as if her blood vessels were being torn, and she couldn’t use any powers.
At that time, a much larger amount of liquid than before was rapidly approaching her eyes, as if she was about to strike her final blow.
50 meters.
30 meters.
5 meters.
And 1 meter.
If you get hit right like this, you will surely die.
As Sanja rolled her hastily into the sea, she felt something pulling her up from the bottom.
“What, what?”
“Um, Ji-hoo made a fuss about me to go… I’m only helping you this time.”
“You… How did you get here…”
A black haired woman with an alluring smile.
The person who should have gone back to school a long time ago now appeared before Sanya’s eyes.
No, how did you come this far in the first place?
Sanya heard her instinctive curiosity about how the student who saved her was here now, rather than her relief that she was out of her desperate situation.
“Jihoo, is that okay? Yes, yes. When I go back, it’s a 10-minute free pass for Jihoo♡”
No, it’s Jihoo again…?
Sanya watched in silence as her schoolgirl muttered something to her wrist, then she regained her senses and grabbed her hand and shouted.
“I don’t know how they got here, but get out of here quickly! Don’t let even a weak student get caught up in it…! I’m grateful for saving you, but there’s no guarantee that that method will work next time…”
As she herself is the principal, she should never see a student get hurt.
I told her with that kind of mindset of hers, but her female student smiled and she responded calmly to her sanya.
“Principal, I’m not as weak as I thought. And since I was just going to save you and go back anyway, even catch earthworms diligently… Fighting♡”
As the girl reached out her hand, the space itself was torn apart, revealing a void filled with rolling darkness.
Her void vanished without a trace as she stepped into her and fully engulfed her body.
“What… Did you have that ability to move?”
It was a kind of ability that even Sanya had never seen before.
But now was not the time to admire such abilities.
It was because the sea dragon, which had been still, began to wriggle again, as if the pause applied to the entire world had been lifted.
Before she knew it, Sagna was also able to completely escape from the backflow of magical power that was weighing down her body.
“I’ll have to visit you when I get back…!”
Sanya prepared to leap into her black dragon body with her magical energy on her feet.
While her mana was slowly concentrating, she remembered her former student again.
There was sophistication in each and every hand that handled her magical powers.
She wondered why she had been neglecting such a gemstone for nearly two months.
When she returned from subjugating the sea dragon, she must meet her student, she thought.
By the way… What was that student’s name?
She must have known, but suddenly she can’t remember.
It felt like a part of her brain had gone blank.
