Chapter 586 – 586화 – Dragon Subjugation!
Below, the weaklings in the village look like tiny ants, scurrying around in utter chaos.
Kyahahaha!
Yes, tremble more!
Be more afraid!
If I descend a little, spewing some smoke, those adventurers will attack me again, just like last time.
But I am a wise dragon!
I won’t make the same mistake as before, so I’ll properly cast a barrier with magic.
When they realize that no attack is effective and fall into despair!
That’s when I will deign to speak to them.
And I will teach them how to worship me!
I will tell them what to offer me!
Kyahahahaha! If they offer properly, I can even protect them from the aftermath of the upcoming battle between the Bane God and the Sol God!
Imagining such a future, I was about to slowly prepare to descend when…
[Hmm?]
A human was flying through the sky, heading this way.
What is that human?
Flying in the sky?
Humans shouldn’t have the ability to use such magic.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Judging by the looks of it, it’s not someone I recognize.
Probably an adventurer who stopped by the village I was observing.
Judging by their magic power, they don’t seem like a very powerful human.
Good, since I don’t recognize them, I’ll take their life as an example.
Be honored, I’ll eliminate you with my breath, especially.
I opened my mouth towards the flying human and shot out my breath.
But the human dodged my breath with a flick.
Hmm? Hoho… quite fast.
The human landed on the ground and looked up at me.
Since they flew all the way here and entertained me for a moment, I’ll give them the honor of being the first to hear my voice.
The human who flew here was very amusing.
To think they would say they would fight me.
That was so funny and amusing.
Their attitude was as if they were stronger than me.
Ah, is this what it means to be foolish?
They were truly foolish.
Since they entertained me, I should play with them for a bit.
However, if they die while playing, there’s nothing I can do about it.
And just as I was thinking of throwing a light magic spell at the human.
The human started acting strangely.
[What!?]
They suddenly started taking off their clothes.
[What, what are you doing, human? Suddenly taking off your clothes… are you crazy?]
“No, I took them off because they might melt. Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t told you my name. I’m Rant.”
[I don’t care about your name! You took them off because they might melt? Does that mean you’re not like that!]
The human shrugged their shoulders leisurely and said.
“I’m completely immune to poison.”
[Hmph! That’s probably the kind of poison that weaklings like you use! Are you comparing the poison of those weaklings to my poison!]
“I’m telling you again, poison doesn’t work on me. Even if it’s a dragon’s poison.”
At that, I felt a strong irritation for the first time in a while.
[Krrrrrr…! Fine, let’s see if that foolish confidence of yours is real with your life!]
Just because they dodged my breath, they think they’re immune to my poison.
Then, take my poison gas head-on, which is weaker than my breath!
[Fwoooooo!]
I squeezed out the toxins in my body and spewed them towards the arrogant human.
The thick green poison gas enveloped the human, and the human’s figure disappeared.
Hmph, when the smoke disappears, all that will be left is the melted corpse of a foolish human.
[That’s unpleasant. It ruined my good mood… huh?]
Just as I was about to descend back towards the village to relieve my ruined mood, I saw something impossible in the smoke.
[Wh… what?]
In my poison gas, the human was standing naked, completely unharmed, with no melted or rotten parts.
[Why… why are they unharmed?]
“Because I’m immune to poison.”
[N, no way! There’s no creature that’s immune to my poison! How about this! Fwoooooooo!!!]
This time, I squeezed out the toxins in my body even more intensely and spewed them at the human.
But… even though the ground around them was melting from my poison, only that human was unharmed.
[I, impossible!?]
The human floated up, escaped the melted area, and said to me.
“It’s no use even if you spew your breath, you know?”
[N, no way! Fine! I understand that you have a great resistance to poison! As a reward for surprising me, I’ll spew the breath you want!]
A guy like this shouldn’t exist.
They will definitely become an obstacle to me later!
I won’t be careless anymore!
I gathered the most powerful poison I could muster and unleashed my breath, which could also be called the pride of a dragon, towards the human.
The surrounding terrain melted, and thick poison gas enveloped the area.
Hehehe, foolish human.
If they hadn’t provoked my anger, this wouldn’t have happened…
“Dragon poison doesn’t really taste good or anything.”
[Ugh!?]
N, no way!
They’re alive?!
And they’re even giving a taste review of my poison!?
What is this…!?
What the hell is this!?
This creature!?
There’s no way a dragon… especially a Poison Dragon, can have a creature that’s unharmed after being hit by my breath!
Just what is this guy…!?
◈-Rant SIDE
I had a good shower of Poison Breath.
What can I say, since the poison doesn’t affect me at all, it just felt like a high-pressure shower.
Rather, since I received it naked, my junk was pressed down, making it feel like I was wearing tight pants.
Since I couldn’t just stand still, I even tasted it, and it just tasted like water.
But the poison’s effect was definitely there, as the surroundings were melting, and I was gradually descending.
As the breath ended, I saw the Poison Dragon looking at me with wide eyes, shocked.
Since the surrounding terrain was a mess, I used telekinesis to fly into the sky and meet the Poison Dragon at eye level.
“Is that the end?”
[Wh, what are you! What the hell are you! You don’t seem to have much magic power… why… why are you unharmed after being hit by my breath!]
Did they say I don’t have much magic power?
Could it be that dragons can see magic power like Tikia?
If so, they might look down on me…
Ah, I still had that activated.
Actually, about a month ago.
Tikia made one request to me.
“Rant, I’ve gotten used to it, but sometimes when I see your magic power, I get a little startled… And your presence and magic power are so big that it interferes with my research when I look at your magic power! Please hide it a little!”
Upon receiving that request, I begged and begged and begged again to help my beloved Tikia with her research and acquired a new skill.
The name of that skill is Hidden Cover.
It’s a skill that creates a barrier around me that hides my magic power and presence.
I used this skill for the first time and asked Tikia to check it, and Tikia said this.
“Ra, Rant… you’re not glowing!?”
How did I look when she saw my magic power?
Anyway, for Tikia’s sake, I always kept this skill on.
Honestly, I thought it was a skill that had no effect on anyone except people who couldn’t sense magic power like Tikia…
I never thought that a dragon would be a creature that could see magic power like Tikia.
Anyway, the dragon seemed to have judged me as weak based on the magic power I was hiding.
That’s why they were even more enraged by my words and even more surprised to see me unharmed by their breath.
Hmm, did I unintentionally do a power-hiding play?
But I didn’t feel like deactivating the skill right now.
Now that it’s come to this, let’s deal with the dragon a little more.
But before that, just one more time.
“Are you going to fight me? If we fight, I will have to subjugate you.”
[Su… subjugate? Don’t make me laugh! Even if you’re immune to poison! Do you think you can be a match for me, a dragon!!!]
I seem to have really scratched their nerves.
It seems I have no choice but to fight the dragon.
“Then.”
Hmm, the dragon said they were going to play with me.
Then this time, I’ll play with the dragon!
“I’m going too.”
Woooooong!
I used Mana Weapon to create a giant club and grabbed it.
It’s said that a club is the best medicine for beasts that don’t listen.
Even if I don’t take their life right away, if I make a sword and swing it, I might accidentally cut them.
A blunt weapon is the best!
“Hup!”
It would be good to fly with telekinesis, but I deliberately created a foothold and then charged towards the dragon.
[Do you think you can injure me with something made with that magic power!]
Even while saying that, I could see that more magic power was being poured into the barrier around the dragon.
Are they prideful but also well-prepared?
But even that barrier.
“Euryahhhhh!!!”
Clang!
It easily broke with the club I swung.
Thwack!
[Kueeeeeeeeeeek!!!]
I properly hit the side of the dragon’s face.
With a loud thud, the dragon’s huge body fell to the side.
[Wh…? Wh? Why…?]
The dragon put its front paw on its face and looked at me with severely trembling eyes.
[Why… the barrier…]
“I’m going for another one!”
When they’re this flustered, it’s standard to beat them relentlessly.
Bang!
I created a foothold and moved below the dragon, then this time, I swung the club upwards.
Thwack!
[Kuaaaaaaak!!!]
Of course, it didn’t end with one hit.
Thwack thwack thwack thwack!
Every time the dragon’s face moved from being hit by my club, I moved first and kept hitting and hitting and hitting again.
[Kuh! Ugh! Keuh! St, stop! Stop… stop ittttt!]
The dragon, who had only been getting hit, swung its front paw at me,
Thwack!
I knocked away the front paw that was coming towards me.
[Kuaaaaaaaaak! My… my hand…!!!]
The dragon was crouching, holding its other paw with one paw.
I thought they would put up a more intense resistance or something.
I thought they would charge at me, saying, “How dare you!” but their reaction was a little different.
[Keuk… heuk… I, I, I won’t forgive you! Human! I, I won’t hold back anymore! Dieeeeeeeeee!]
From the moment they spewed their breath, weren’t they not planning to kill me from the start?
The angry dragon suddenly started gathering a large amount of magic power from its entire body.
This amount of magic power was similar to the amount of magic power the Demon King had when he threw a punch at me.
[Destroy Burst!]
A huge magic circle appeared in front of the dragon, and as the dragon chanted, a dark red magic cannon was fired at me from the magic circle.
I was going to try to deflect this magic cannon with my club, but I immediately retracted that thought, got rid of the club, and then.
“Haaaaaaap!”
I threw a punch at the magic cannon.
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeong!
With a loud roar, the magic cannon that was hit by my punch was pierced with a large hole.
[Kuhwaaaaaaaaak!!!]
Although not completely, a part of the magic cannon hit the dragon’s face.
[My faaaaaace! My faceeeeeeeeee!!!]
Could it be that some kind of spell that causes extreme pain was cast on it?
There were no visible injuries on its face, but the dragon was covering its face with both front paws and was in great pain.
If this were a normal person, I might feel a little sympathy.
But the opponent is a dragon who just shot breath at me and would pose a great danger to people.
I couldn’t just let this go.
And I still hadn’t done one of the techniques I wanted to do the most against a giant monster.
I immediately moved to the dragon’s tail area and then.
Grab!
I grabbed the dragon’s tail a little strongly.
Since it was so big, I had to put a little force into it to hold it in place, and that seemed to hurt.
[Keuk! Ouch!]
The dragon screamed.
[Human! What are you…!]
There’s no need to listen to the words of a dragon who is trying to harm so many people.
Let’s focus on having fun while filling out my list of things I want to do first.
Yes, the situation I definitely wanted to try when facing a giant monster with a tail.
“Huuuuuup!”
Kwaaaaaaaaaang!!!
[Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!]
It’s to grab the tail and slam it around.
