"Oraaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Kanka kanka kanka."

　Me and the immortal bone dragon collide in the deep forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had been running away from the dragon, but I changed direction so fast that my sweat was blown off, and caught the immortal bone dragon that had been chasing me right in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my right hand, I grasped the hilt of the iron sword hanging from my waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He immediately took the sword from its scabbard, grasped it with both hands, and held it directly in front of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment, he swings down with all his might.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no need for skill against a deformed monster that moves only with its bones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He simply puts everything he has into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I instantly gather magic power throughout my body and pour it into the iron sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put more magic into it than usual and turn it into offensive power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm imitating my brother Byte.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I put an unusual amount of magical power into it, and it temporarily develops an effect similar to that of armament reinforcement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An immortal bone dragon is approaching.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It should have no need to eat living creatures with a body made of nothing but bones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, it is trying to bite me, opening and closing its mouth repeatedly, making a snapping sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it trying to eat me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or maybe it wants to kill me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, there is no way he has a motive to kill me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if it is just attacking any living creature that catches its eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The immortal bone dragon that chased after me bites me and I intercept it with my iron sword Granvalka.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only for a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps it was much shorter than a moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But for me it was not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I saw the dragon Agito approaching, his mouth wide open, his mouth full of thick, sharp fangs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was slow, as if time had been stretched out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not only the immortal bone dragon that was slowing down, but also myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was looking at the immortal bone dragon that was trying to bite me with its terrifyingly slow movements, my own arm that was swinging down the iron sword was also slow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is no need to be in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This has happened before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic power that fills his whole body must be strengthening his brain functions and speeding up his thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I just have to do the best I can here and now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at my arm, which is making slow progress, and observe the immortal bone dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The white bone is still strong, not a single part of it is missing, even though it has knocked down many trees up to this point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even so, there is a place to aim.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The immortal bone dragon Agito with sharp fangs that is attacking me now is on the front of my skull.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The skull is not a single bone, although the bones of an animal's head are rounded to protect the brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The skull is a combination of several bones that protect the brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the skull of the dragon that is about to attack me is made up of several bones attached to each other, and even if they are attached, they should be structurally weak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if this would apply to an immortal whose body is sustained only by its bones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, some bone-on-bone joints can be seen in the skull of the immortal dragon, which appears to be moving slowly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I correct the trajectory of the iron sword aiming at those joints.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just in the middle of the skull of the immortal dragon, there is a joint of bones like a vertical line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He swung the blade of the iron sword, which boasts the sharpest cutting edge, as if slipping it through the bone joint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A thud echoed through the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment I was blown wide open and slammed into a tree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was slammed into the trunk of a thick tree without even taking a backward swing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet I felt no pain in my back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My back did not hurt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, it shouldn't have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I felt pain in my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The demon armor I was wearing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had fallen off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Magic armor that fits its wearer perfectly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A piece of equipment made from demon material that not only increases one's defense, but also improves one's own strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had been corrupted by exposure to the horrifying magic of the immortal bone dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And what came out after the demon armor fell from my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was my chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a blessing in disguise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the sharp fangs in the immortal bone dragon's mouth did not pierce me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess my attack had deflected the trajectory of the attack, because it hit him in the maxillary region.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that does not mean that there was no damage at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, the damage was rather extensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how many ribs were broken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Blood was pouring out of his mouth and he could not breathe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His skin is black.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was as if the black magic of the immortal bone dragon was invading my body through my skin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is not good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We've only attacked each other once, as if we'd just exchanged blows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, I was in such a state that I could not even raise my arm again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not a resignation, but an undeniable fact that I was going to die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I might as well have kept running, no matter what I looked like, until the end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I should have run away desperately, even if I was covered with mud, even if I was dripping with sweat, drool, and tears, until I couldn't move at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I was too proud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, I had never lost before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have met opponents stronger than me, but I have managed to create situations where I had the upper hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And my magical power had increased and I had become steadily stronger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe that's how I got misunderstood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That I was strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that was not true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are others stronger than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are people who are stronger than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't understand such an obvious fact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......No.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that realization did not make me ready to accept death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to die again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to die here, even if my opponent is so strong that I can't beat him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a thud, I slide down the tree trunk to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can no longer lift my arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I kept my face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He looks up and looks straight at the immortal bone dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was badly wounded, but my opponent was not unscathed either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The skull of the Immortal Bone Dragon has been roughly sliced open vertically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Through the slit, the inside of its head could be seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The place where the dragon's brain would normally be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There, I saw a mysterious stone shining in pitch black.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A magic stone, perhaps.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that in this world there exists a mysterious stone filled with magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe that's it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that may be the driving force that moves the body of the Immortal Bone Dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The body no longer moves properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if that is the Immortal Bone Dragon's vital point, we may be able to take a shot at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that thought, I stood up, clutching my iron sword with my last ounce of strength.
