Kilt's left arm is raised above his head.

　In his hand, a silver metal tube.

　Pshaw.

　A ray of light ran into the blue sky, causing a great burst of bright white magic light.

　Spaaan.

　A luminescent signal bullet.

　A low voice announced, while the golden eyes were turned to the three-colored-haired woman in front - the 'Snake God Man'.

''I don't want to wait for reinforcements to arrive. We're going to set them up like this.

　A sharp fighting spirit.

　It spreads and the air tightens.

"Dead or alive, it doesn't matter. We must first disable him. Then we'll secure the divine spirit stone.
Yeah!
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Poe knows.

　I nodded.

　Kilt-san starts walking forward.

　The 'snake godman' across the street looks at me and nods his head slightly.

　Its right hand lifts up.

　Guia.

　His entire hand turned into a giant snake head and attacked Mr. Kilt.

''Nun!''

　(sound effect) slamming down

The 'Great Sword of Thunder' flicked it.

　The black sword blade and the fangs of the giant snake collided, causing blue discharges and sparks to fly.

''Marle, let's go!''
Yeah!

　Breathing in sync with Illtimina-san, I ran too.

''..........''

The gentle left hand of the Serpent God Man lifts up.

　Each of its five white fingers became five snake heads, stretching out to attack us.

''Shhh!''

　Illtimina-san's sharp call.

　At the same time, the 'White-winged Spear' is unleashed as a white light, and the snake's head is flicked back.

　Gasp, thump, giggin.

　A series of crashing sounds echoed.

　Kilt-san held his right arm and Illtimina-san held his left arm.

(Now!)

　In the meantime, I jumped into the bosom of the 'Snake Goddess'.

　The white naked body of the woman exposing her white body to me, who was getting close to her, opened her mouth and made a surprised face.

　I let out a thrust aimed at her mouth.

　Geez.

!

　The blade, which was released with all its strength, stopped in its mouth.

　The long snake's tongue wrapped around the blue transparent blade of the 'Fairy Sword' and pushed it down.

''Poof.''

　No matter how much weight you put on it, you can't push it down.

　Pang.

(Whoa!)

　On the contrary, it was played with tremendous tongue force and I was rolled backwards.

　Shit, d*mn it!

　He stood up in a hurry.

　In front of him, a huge snake was opening its mouth wide.

(.........ah?)

　It was growing from the abdomen of the 'Snake God Man'.

''Hoah!''

　Gagiiin.

With the 'White Silver Armor' and the 'Fairy Sword', he hurriedly catches the thick fangs above and below him.

　That's a lot of power!

　A cloudy white liquid spills from the tips of his fangs.

(Duh, is it poison?!)

　An impatient but desperate contest of strength.

'Merle!'

　Iltimina-san tries to run towards us, but five snake fingers prevent her from getting closer.

''Nuh-uh.''

　Mr. Kilt is similarly stranded by a giant snake.

(Well, not good, maybe........)

　The fangs are getting a little closer.

　The power of the other side is more than I can handle.

　A cold sweat runs down my cheek - and then

Pooh!

　sound of thunder

　Poe, who leapt from behind me, slammed a gorgeous flying kick into the snake's nose.

　The impact causes the giant snake's head to drop.

　The young blonde girl held her fist in front of me as I recoiled and flipped over.

'Oh, thanks, Poe!
No problem, says Poe.

　I can rely on his back to answer in a matter-of-fact way.　

　And.

Everybody get away!

　Solstice raised her great staff and shouted.

　Its magic stone glowed red.

'Burn that snake-filled monster woman to the ground!　--Lah Valfrair Vadoo!

　A ten-medium sized Bird of Fire is created above the girl's head.

　Kilt-san and Illtimina-san leap backwards.

　I'm also dragged by Po-chan and separated from the "Serpent Goddess" by a distance.

''.........''　

　The woman's serpentine eyes stared dumbly at the 'giant bird of fire' that was closing in on her.

　''Dpaaaan.''

　A direct hit.

　A tremendous heat wave floods our hair and burns our skin.

(Ku.........)

　As expected of Solstice.

　It's still a tremendous magical power.

　When the heat wave left, the cobblestone streets had melted and flowed with a red sludge.

　The pillars that lined the streets also melted and crumbled.

　And in the center of them, only the blackened and charred shape of a human being remained.

''........did you do it?''

　I muttered.

　Neither Kilt nor Illtimina answered.

　Solstice was breathing heavily on her shoulder, and Poe was silently staring at the charred humanoid with her light blue eyes.

　............
　..............

　Pish.

(!)

　A crack ran across the charred surface.

　From it, white fingers sprouted.

　Mekhi, Mississippi, Jurun.

　As his hands were opened to the left and right, the black charred surface was torn apart, revealing the intact naked body of the 'Snake God Man' from within.

　Its white skin was slick with mucus.

''........You're lying, right?''

　Solstice, who shot the magic, is stunned.

　I'm speechless, too.

　Mr. Kilt looked like he was going to bite his tongue.

Molting.

　I muttered.

　In other words, Solstice's magic only burned the surface of the 'Serpent Godman' and didn't reach the inside.

　It's simple if you put it into words.

　But directly in front of my eyes, its defensive and regenerative abilities are too much of a joke.

(What the hell is this thing?!

　The abilities are diverse and elusive.

　Feeling a fearlessness that felt like a cold finger stroking my spine, I readied my 'fairy sword' again.

　Everyone else also pointed their weapons at me.

''Haha!''

The Snake God Man smiled happily at us.

　He tilted his head, exposing his naked white body as he slowly approached us.

　As if pressurized, we stepped back the same amount.

''..........''
..........
..........
..........
..........

　How should we go about this?

　How do I beat it?

　I can't get that image out of my head.

　But there's nothing I can do about it if I keep backing down.

　I was determined to step forward - and at that moment, our surroundings suddenly went black.

(Huh?)

"Goooooooooooooooooooooong!

　A roar from the sky above.

　And the sound of a powerful flap of wings.

　When I noticed, a huge dragon, its claws shining, charged from the sky to the 'Serpent God Man' and hit him with its attack.

　Gogashaaah!

　The cobblestones cracked and the street caved in.

　We were almost blown away by the popping wind pressure.

The air assault from the sky, which should be called a "dragon dive," was unexpected, both for us and for the "Snake God Man.

　Basa-sa!

　The dragon soars up into the sky again.

''Are you alright, Lord Marl?

　From a height of about 20 meads, a dragon knight sitting in the saddle of the dragon's head called out to me.

(That voice was Mr. Amuikel!

　She laughed at me in surprise.

　Above her head, two more 'dragon horsemen's dragons' circled around.

''We'll leave it to ourselves here.

　The female dragon knight who reliably tells me.

　If you turn your gaze to the destroyed street, there stands the 'Serpent Goddess' whose right upper half of her body was gouged out and lost by the dragon's claws.

　Purple blood overflowed, soaking the ground and his naked body.

''.........O.......ah?''

　You look pretty surprised.

　But.

　Tut tut tut tut.

　The skin in that lost area was turned over and an intact right arm and upper body grew out from underneath.

　A regenerative ability called 'molting' that is tremendous.

''........Seriously?''

　Even Mr. Amieukel was surprised.

　But as if to quickly regain his spirits, the dragon roared furiously.

''Excellent!　This time, we're on our own!

　Thud, thud, thud.

　He spread his huge wings and flapped his wings menacingly.

'Shumurian Dragon Horsemen' vs. 'Serpent Godmen'.

　The second round of the battle was about to begin in the 'City of Ruins' of the Tolga civilization.
