16-16. How to kill a dragon that can only be done by the devil



 I guess it's all cleared up now.
 I've already seen this much violence in the enemy camp, and this rumored Mr. Shrezzad hasn't shown up at all.
 Maybe he's on the front lines.

"Well, let's take care of this soon...

 With a snap of his neck, he begins his flight into the sky.
 After having the enemy camp almost below me, I held my palm up to the ground and reminded myself.

''Well, it looks like there are no dragons, so I'll just use the Great Destruction Magic.''

 With a booming sound, a green sphere appears in my palm with the usual heavy bass sound.
 This is what I call the Great Destruction spell because when it hits something and expands, it turns the entire area into ash without a single blade of grass growing.
 I've forgotten the name of the spell, though.

Hoi.

 It's a very convenient way to litter the ground with trash as well as toss a huge destruction spell.
 When it lands on the ground, the sphere expands with a deafening sound just like it always does.
 Eventually, it swallowed up the earth and space while spewing out a thunderous energy force field.
 Of course, all the monsters in the area were completely obliterated at once.

 There would be no monsters left that were capable of military action.
 For now, this kind of massive destruction magic is the quickest way to wipe out those who are an eyesore.

''Ok, all of them are confirmed destroyed. Let's go to Sianne's place!

 I really don't care about the small fry enemies.
 I'd like to try out the Gyakurinmoku, but is Shrezzad shy about showing up forever?

I mean, you're kind of forgetting something...

 And I think it was about a pledge....
 Oh well, you'll remember it sooner or later.

 Nah, it's not like I was in any particular hurry to float around, but it's not like I shouldn't have been floating around.

Ororo? That's some serious shit.

 The front line had become a shuffling, messy battle.
 Rather, a warrior by a certain monster was developing.

I'm not sure. That's Shrezzad, isn't it?

 A huge dragon, like a mountain, dressed in red-black scales.
 Looking at the size, it's an Ancient Dragon that looks like it will live for about a thousand years.
 Of course, even though they are dragons, their strength, size, and shape are completely different in different worlds.
 

 With just one breath of that thing's scorching hot breath, hundreds of monsters instantly turned into smithereens.
 The army approaching from behind was immediately destroyed with a swing of its tail.
 Arrows, acid, and magic are constantly raining down, but Shrezzad's dragon scales are not freaked out.

 But if you're wondering where they are, they're on the front lines.
 I'm not sure if I've ever heard of it.
 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about, but I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. You're going to challenge that thing?

 It's not uncommon for an Ancient Dragon to be tremendously powerful and stronger than the Demon King in any other world.
 It's not an opponent that you can beat in terms of customary practice, but if it looks like it's in trouble, I can come in and help.
 Besides, I'm interested in Cianne's abilities.

 I don't know if he's doing a name calling or not, but Sianne made a who-what (suka) to the dragon. From what I read on her lips, it's like, "So you're Shrezzad! I think that's what he's saying.
 I could hear him from this distance if I wanted to, but I'm not interested in the conversation.
 Shrezzad and Cianne exchanged for a while, then began to fight.

''Heh, Cyanne was pretty strong, wasn't she?''

 I couldn't help but mumble something like that while taking out the fair tiki and soy milk I had bought from the item box.

 
 That dragon called Shrezzad is extremely strong at a level that makes me want to complain, "Why is that dragon called Shrezzad mixed in with these low-level demon world nobles?
 Ancient dragons are one of the strongest spiritual masters in most other worlds, and it's not uncommon for them to be stronger than the Demon King.
 Among them, Shrezzad-sama is a bit above average. It's no wonder that he is the strongest of the seven demon generals.

 The fact that Ciannu is even stronger than Shrezzad, or to the extent that he's playing with her, is surprising.
 Of course, we can't even compare in terms of simple power, but in terms of speed, Cyanne is overwhelmingly superior.
 So far, she has dodged the onslaught of claws, fangs, tails, etc. with paper thingies without being hit, and when it comes to her breaths, she seems to be deploying a mysterious jet black sphere to diminish her power.

 Or rather, what is that sphere?
 It doesn't seem to be blocking physical attacks with that thing, so it's like a black hole...an energy absorbing force field or something.
 I just thought that Xianne's scythe has that black ball stuck to the scythe that she got, and it's been given to her.
 It seems that that that black enchanted scythe is breaking through the iron-clad dragon scales of both physical and magical opponents and directly hurting Shrezzad's body. Gloi.

''It looks like we're going to win this thing.

 Although his movements were not lacking in brilliance, Shrezzad showed signs of impatience and irritation.
 In contrast, Sianne calmly aimed precisely at the part of the body that impeded her movement, accumulating damage to the dragon's body.

 He activated his appraising eye.
 Furthermore, in a manner similar to looking at a drawing, he creates a frame with his index finger and thumb to focus his vision.

 There's no unnecessary disturbance in Shrezzad's magic power wave. So far, there doesn't seem to be any self-destruction or anything like that.
 Rather, Cyanne's attrition seems to be more intense. Could it be that the magic power is close to running out?
 At the current pace, I wonder if Cianne will be depleted before I can cut through Shrezzad.

 What a thought, Cyanne's magic power showed an unnatural recovery.

''That Cyanne thing, you used your cheat ability.

 There aren't that many cheat abilities I've given you.
 Aside from the translation cheat, there are only three: appraisal eye, magic power recovery, and shrinkage.
 I'm pretty sure that was magic power recovery.

You're choosing to fight with heavy consumption by relying on magic power recovery? You're good at it.

 In this case, the only thing left to do is to see if Sianne's concentration can hold up.
 Even if he says his magic power is restored, he won't regain his depleted physical and mental strength.
 Even if I say I'm inflicting a little bit of damage, the life force of the Ancient Dragon is still inexhaustible.
 Even though I can ignore the dragon scale's defense, it should take quite a bit of time if I were to cut it down.

 What a thought, I was leisurely watching the game with chicken in hand........

'Oh, this isn't good. That Cyanne missed a move.

 Moreover, he didn't know it was happening.
 He's been fighting like a chess match, so it can't be helped, but if he keeps this up, there's no way he can avoid the fatal right claw strike that will come 23 moves later.
 Looking at Schlezad's solid attacking style, I don't see him making any major errors of judgment either.
 Sianne might get mad at me, but it can't be helped.

''Shall I let him do it as planned?

 He took out a knife....................from the item box and held it in his reverse hand.
 Shrezzad's body has been appraised, not to mention the reverse scales, which is the target, and every single one of the scales has been appraised.
 It hasn't even been noticed as it has completely eliminated any signs.
 At this distance, there would be no need to bother stopping time.

''Lightwing Sprint.''

 As soon as he landed on Schlezad's back, he thrust the knife toward the reverse scales that were momentarily exposed.
 He used his light-winged sprint again to break away before he started to rampage, but it didn't seem to be necessary.

 Because Shrezzad didn't even scream a decapitated scream, but instead laid down his huge body while the ground shook.



''Wha, what happened........''
Yo!

 He called out to a stunned Sianne from afar, her eyes wide open.

You defeated Shrezzad? That was an amazing battle!
'No, no I'm not...'

 Cianne looked up at Shrezzad's remains, as if she couldn't believe that she had defeated him.
 The monsters and demon aristocrats who saw this around them also raised a battle cry of victory.

''If we defeated this guy, then the war is won, right?
Oh, yeah that's what it's going to take, I guess.

 Cianne looks somewhat unexplained.
 Hmm, I feel guilty for watering down the game, even if it was a close call.

''Here, let's eat.''
Hmm?

 I quickly handed him a fair chunk of food on the spur of the moment.

''Oh I'm sorry,''

 The moment she took a bite of the chicken, Sianne's eyes, which had been a little stunned, snapped open.

''Yum!''
'Of course. It's a completely original fairy chicken.

 He explains haltingly that it's not comparable to the things I gave you before.

'Such an important thing... ha!

 Sianne looks up as if she noticed something and glares back at me with a snap.

''Well, don't think you can buy my merriment with that kind of thing!

 And then he left a discarded line and ran off.

''Did I fail........''

 I know I helped him, but what am I going to do by making a dere flag for myself, I'm not.
 This is why people say I'm too soft on my wife.

 Well.
 What was left after Sianne left was this time's dragon hunt loot.
 Yeah, it's huge. If I can just spend this much money, I can make all the chicken I want for a while.
 The environment is different now that it's possible to compare it to the original from the old days, when it was fumbling around, and now it's possible to compare it to the original.
 Shrezzad, your death will not be in vain!

 As expected, this knife.
 Even though it's a surprise attack, it's still a blow to the Ancient Dragon with hardly any trauma.
 So what that cheat reincarnated cook said was true.
 If I cut off his head or something, I could probably defeat him with other dragon slayers, but it wouldn't be as clean as this.

 With all this, I'll have to take my time until the pledge is made--

'I mean, yeah. Now I remember! I was thinking of a plan to lose and get you to pledge on purpose!

 Hmmm, but that doesn't mean I'm going to miss out on the meat of the Ancient Dragon!
 Well, at worst, I can inherit it to that Biiou or something, so let's take it easy on that part.
 I'm planning on living as a Demon King for a while anyway, so let's take it easy on the pledge.
 I even have an original chicken.
 All we need to do is to keep ourselves in the midst of a moderate amount of blood and carnage so that the fangs in our hearts are not pulled out.
 Fortunately, there's no shortage of guys who look good to kill!

'Oh well! Anyway, let's get on with it.

 I was whistling in a good-natured mood, holding the knife at the ready, and wondering just a little bit about where to insert the blade from.......




 --The glow of the summoning team appeared at my feet.
