Chapter 103 – Felgion (3)
Black Dragon, Felgion.
An elder-class dragon that has lived for a long time after the owner of the mountain range.
Besides, it seems that he chewed up and swallowed a red dragon, but it was not easy to get a sense of what level he was now.
“Maybe I should back off now.”
It might be the right thing to postpone recovering memories, go to Draculea and clear the ordeal first, then gather those who will fight together and come to subdue them, as my sister said.
It’ll take some time, but it’s hard for the three of us to subdue an elder or slightly lesser level right now.
If I become complete as the ‘True Ancestor’, I’ll be able to compete alone.
Right now, it was impossible even if the three of them fought, let alone alone.
Or not.
“… Sister.”
“Uh. Uh uh why?”
“I’ll have to ask the owner of the mountain range for help.”
Excluding Lord, the most powerful dragon in the entire continent is the owner of this mountain range. If I could get his help, it would be easier to subdue Felgion.
“Will he help?”
“Tell me that one of the fire dragons is dead. He’s still a kid.”
Perhaps because the owner of the mountain range has lived for nearly 10,000 years, he does not easily move his large body.
Its lifespan is nearing its end, and in contrast to the powerful power that grows over time, the old body cannot handle the power, and it does not want to move at the risk of hurting its body.
Right now, black, who is the most incompatible with white, is hiding in the mountains, but isn’t it neglected?
So, originally, I had no intention of asking him for help. Rather, he would rather yell at me and say, “Don’t bother me.”
However, Felgrion, the black lizard caused a fratricidal afterimage.
Moreover, judging from the texture of the magical power felt through the barrier, it was the magical trait of a young, yet unripe creature.
At least it didn’t have the sophisticated and dense feeling of an adult.
I was able to tell them apart because I had seen Red’s area several times on my way here.
“If Hetzling is dead, even the old man will roll his eyes.”
“… But in this wide mountain range, how do you find it?”
Iris, who was listening to the story, asked curiously.
The owner of the mountain range, as the name suggests, is connected to the spirit vein of the entire mountain range. That’s why it’s even more annoying to move.
When I explained that it would be okay to send the spirits and connect them to the spirit veins to convey my intentions, my sister nodded and moved the spirits.
As it is a filthy wide mountain range, it will take quite some time for it to move and get here no matter how fast it moves.
“Prepare.”
“Ah. Really.”
After all, you have to kill that old dragon here. My sister lamented.
But now was the best time. Rather, he chewed and swallowed a single hatchling, and even though his shot had risen, he hadn’t properly digested it yet, so he wasn’t balanced.
Thud.
Thump, thump!
As dozens of spirits moved at once, a loud echo started from the realm of Felgrion, probably sensing something strange.
Iris raised the holy sword with a nervous expression. Obsidian materialized and wrapped around his sister.
I also created dozens of black spots.
At the same time.
“Insignificant things—!”
A scratchy roar. A dragon fear that is so intense that the whole body tingles.
Quaang!
From beyond, the magic curtain that had been deployed as if to protect the realm exploded.
“Until the owner of the mountains comes, we will endure as much as we can.”
Flutter-!
Spreading its huge wings, the cursed dragon flew up.
Unlike the miasma dripping from a normal black dragon, blazing black flames rose from the corners of its mouth.
Power surged violently in his chest.
It was the precursor to the breath.
“Iris.”
Instead of answering, Iris raised the holy sword. There was nothing like divine power to counter the black dragon’s miasma.
A bright light that bloomed. I connected the sunspots I had created and developed a translucent film.
「Absorption」 「Protect」 「Purification」.
It was a shield to ‘absorb’ Iris’ divine power, ‘protect’ it from its breath, and ‘purify’ its miasma.
In addition to that, Obsidian, the highest level spirit specializing in barriers, raised the level of the barrier to a higher level and was in charge of maintaining the barrier.
As soon as the barrier is completed.
Kuaaaaa
The heat that spreads over the barrier. Perhaps thanks to swallowing the fire dragon’s heart, not only the miasma but also the heat of the flames were considerable.
Not a simple poison breath, but black flame containing poison and curses.
Powered by the dragon’s formidable magical power, it hit the barrier in a straight line like a laser.
Kwah—!
Breath and barrier collided.
It was a barrier made by Iris’ divine power, my unique characteristics, and the highest level of spirits working together while shaking as if it would break from an attack with enormous power.
“Great!”
As Obsidian’s contractor, the older sister’s face contorted while maintaining the barrier.
I remembered the magic circle. There weren’t many magics that I, who possessed the attribute of nothingness, could use without using [Endow].
So, rather than constantly using [Endow] Magic that doesn’t fit my attributes, I decided to choose a method that could save my attributes.
While Barrier endured his breath, dozens of magic circles were drawn in the air.
Fixed bombardment. “Nothingness”
Instead of causing a magical phenomenon, it is a form of ignorantly striking mana and firing a bombardment.
It was like increasing the size of the 1st rank magic [Magic Arrow].
Fire.
Just in time, the flames of the breath died down.
“These guys, from what I can see now, they’re not people who come in and out of the mountains.”
He looked flustered when his breath was blocked.
It looked like he was looking at it, as if he were searching for it.
It was a good thing for us if Felgrion dragged us through like that. I looked up at him while gradually increasing the number of magic circles created in the air.
「One vampire. One spirit sage. There…」
The eyes of the guy who was scanning us were fixed. As if a nail had been driven into Iris’ holy sword, her gaze did not leave.
The huge dragon’s body trembled.
I had a hunch.
That I touched his wrath.
*
“What did the heinous goddess’s seed come here for——!!”
Aaaaa!
Iris gripped her sword nervously at the ringing pier. Scarlett started shelling without hesitation.
Keying.
Scarlett felt the mana that filled her body drain considerably. It didn’t matter. If even one of the dozens of bombardments lands an effective hit on his huge body, it could lead to a critical hit due to his magical properties.
“I will never let you live——!”
Kwaaang—!!
In the midst of the hateful shouts, the artillery fire that was fired in an instant reached the vicinity of Felgrion in an instant.
The black dragon snorted inwardly. It seems that he ignorantly rammed mana into it to increase its power, but simply high power cannot pierce the dragon’s scales.
It must contain a higher level of power, but it is only possible to injure the dragon’s body.
That’s why Felgrion tried to ignore dozens of artillery fire. Rather, he set his sights on the holy sword, a weapon capable of wounding his body.
──!!
「Keugh?!」
Moment. A visceral warning stimulated Pelgrion. It was the ability to sense and avoid danger that was embedded in every dragon heart.
Long ago, even by the standards of dragons who live 10,000 years, if it was a long time ago, it was the days of the Gods.
It was a function created after they, who had lived without a sense of danger due to their race’s unique strength, invaded the temple of the moon goddess and were hunted by five dragons.
Beep—.
Quadruped!
「—Ku!!」
Twisting the gigantic body, the bombardment passed by. The scales are ripped off, and the space is twisted in the place where it passed. Felgrion’s huge body came down slightly, as if his wings had been injured.
Watching the scene, Scarlett clicked his tongue.
“I could have killed you.”
After this attack, Scarlett will also be on alert, so his first strike was the best chance.
Of course, Scarlett also knew the function attached to the dragon heart, so the probability of failure was high, and in that sense, it was thought that it would be difficult for the three of them to attack the old dragon.
If one blow works, it would be enough alone.
It failed in the end, so now I really had to wait.
Scarlett calmly opened her mouth.
“She’s injured her wing, so she’ll come down sooner or later. Until then, just defend yourself.”
There is also a limit to flying with magical power. Even though there are dragon hearts that endlessly recharge mana, it would be burdensome to devote a significant amount of mana to flight during intense battles that do not give you enough time to recover.
So hold on underneath and wait for him to come down.
Iris and Luna nodded at Scarlett’s words.
Bang! Bang!
Felgion’s attack was blocked by the barrier several times. Attacks that hit in the air were meaningless. When the indignant dragon sprayed miasma to pollute the surrounding land, Iris blocked it by spreading her divine power and purifying it.
As time passed, Pelgrion could not help but sense the intentions of the intruders below.
“Cheating tricks!!”
The black dragon roared.
Eventually, the black dragon gave up flying and came down flapping its wings. Poisonous blood dripped from the injured wing.
“Brother.”
When Scarlett tried to move against the black dragon that had descended to the ground, Iris took a step forward.
“… I’ll try.”
Holding a shining holy sword.
“I think it should be now.”
Thump thump. With her heart beating like crazy from earlier, she exhaled a small breath.
“I think now is the time for me to cross the wall.”
She stood in front of the black dragon.
Since ancient times, it is the chosen warrior who slays the evil dragon.
Iris raised her holy sword with her hard face.
