It's been three hours since Camille succeeded in turning into a dragon with her consciousness intact. Camille was able to step on the hasten that he placed with even clearer consciousness. Her movements and firepower were tremendous.

　In three hours, the fire dragon's twin wings were full of holes, and its face was also sliced open from one eye to split open at the mouth. Several black claws had been cut off from the base, and a hole had been drilled into its slender flank. The fire dragon, which had gone insane after receiving the wounds, was currently firing a series of attacks indiscriminately.

　Tsutomu and Camille could block the breaths with their red thread fire bundles. However, Garum's fire armor was torn from his claws and rolling on the ground, leaving holes in places. Although not deadly, every time Garum was hit by a breath, Garum was burned, and he was heeled by Tsutomu many times each time he was hit.

　And the attacks weren't just breaths. He would crawl on the ground with his huge, slender body and try to crush them, or try to cut the three of them off with his black claws that easily cut through rocks. And the bite is the most annoying, as if it were to squeeze your neck and then release an arrow, which is fast and can kill you instantly, even in Garm if you are hit. That attack comes indiscriminately, so the three of them can't be distracted.

　After stepping on Tsutomu's hazing, Camille, who is in a state of dragonization, approaches to deal with the battered fire dragon that attacks indiscriminately. You can't just go for the sake of it.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of this one. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　I've been in the fifty-nineth level and have been fighting the fire dragons for about eight hours now. Even Tsutomu, who didn't move much, was getting tired.

　And Garum, who had been serving as a tank by himself so far, was not in good shape. Although there were heels and medics, Garum's concentration had already slowed down after eight hours of combat. The evidence of this was the obvious increase in the number of bullets he was being hit by.

　The broken equipment has already been replaced three times, but the large shield is getting crimped again. Even though Tsutomu has prepared a considerable number of spare equipment, he has to use the barrier to make time to replace it.

　Tsutomu, who had predicted that this fire dragon battle would be a long battle, interrupted every thirty minutes with the barrier for ten seconds or so to reduce the burden on Garum. Besides, medic and other things were also applied within the range of not exceeding the hate.

　But despite Tsutomu's medic and heels, even he couldn't treat the mental aspect of it. Besides, medic's are meant to treat conditions that are abnormal. It's true that there is a state of fatigue, but the fatigue that has accumulated over eight hours cannot be completely cured by a flying medic.

　Besides, the time you were supposed to kill in six hours has already passed two hours. Even with Camille's troubles, it's taking too long and putting the burden of that on Garum. Tsutomu regretted the fact that he thought that if Camille was attacked by the fire dragon, she might be in a slump again, and he had suppressed his firepower a bit too much.

　After being exposed to the fire dragon's attack for eight hours, Garum's body and spirit were being whittled away, and he had long passed his limit.


(Not good.)


　Tsutomu thinks so inwardly, but doesn't show his face and flies his protection to Garum. The limit of Garum's physical strength is limited by the reluctant fire dragon. Tsutomu was puzzled by the unexpected turn of events.

　Tsutomu quantifies Camille's attack with his own predictions, just like in the game, and subtracts it from the fire dragon's stamina to calculate his remaining stamina. The calculation was screwed up early on due to trouble early on, but even so, Camille's firepower, which had regained its dragonization, had already made up for it.

　And by that calculation, the fire dragon's strength should already be gone by now, but the fire dragon doesn't show any decline to the point that it seems to be moving inexhaustibly. It shed blood repeatedly and then let out flames on its own to burn the wounds and give it a rough treatment (araryoji). That was keeping the fire dragon's bleeding to a minimum and preventing it from exhausting its energy.

　The fire dragon was clearly beginning to weaken. There was no doubt about it, and it should be a bug's breath by now. However, its movements had only slowed down a bit, and it was still hard to let its guard down. Especially with Tsutomu's VIT (sturdiness), he would have to be especially nervous, as he would not be able to escape serious injury if any attack hit him.

　As much as I would like to take down the Fire Dragon as soon as possible for him to tank for a long time, there was a chance that I wouldn't be able to cut him down even if I launched an all-out attack here and now. If you only look at the numbers, Tsutomu has the certainty that he can definitely defeat it. But seeing that fire dragon, I couldn't make a definitive statement.

　Should I continue the battle or should I try to shave it off with all of us at once? Tsutomu was unsure. And right after he decided to ask the two of them to make a decision and put protection on Garum.

　Garum suddenly collapsed. Tsutomu's thin eyes widened as Garum took out his shortsword and fell with a loud noise.

　A hole drilled by the fire dragon's black claws on the ground. His attention to his feet had been neglected and Garum had tripped over his feet in the hole and fallen over.


''Garum!''


　-- A large foot-shaped shadow hovers above that garum's head.

　The approaching fire dragon's paw. Garum's figure was scratched off by the fire dragon's paw.

　The earth caved in. The fire dragon raises its paw again. Tsutomu swiftly waved his white staff.


''Heel!　Camille!　Attack the fire dragon's front legs!　Heel!


　The moment the fire dragon swung his leg up, Tsutomu shot his heel into Garum like a bullet. Then the front leg swung down again. The fire dragon let out a cry of death as he stomped on Garum three times after that. In between the fire dragon's legs swinging up, Tsutomu shot a heel.

　Camille, under Tsutomu's direction, spreads her wings and closes in on the fire dragon. The fire dragon swings its front legs up like a madman. Fresh blood danced from the paw as Camille, holding a large sword, passed that paw.

　The fire dragon screamed and was frightened. Tsutomu looked at the hole from above once he was sure that no particles were coming out of the caved-in ground. Garum was there, protecting his head with a large shield.

　After confirming that the fire dragon had shifted its hostility to Camille, Tsutomu placed a heist in her direction of travel.


'Camille!　Focus on avoiding it!　Don't die!


　Tsutomu skipped those instructions and descended with his fly into the hole, floating his body down and then came close to Garm.

　Garum is coughing up a lot of blood from his mouth. Guessing that his internal organs were probably crushed, Tsutomu put his hand on his belly and high heeled him, then opened the lid of the green potion on his own waist and let him include it in Garum's mouth.

　A little later, Garum seemed to recover, and he slowly raised himself up as he pulled out his arms, which had caved in to the ground.


'Duh, are you okay?'


　Garum coughs muffledly and then stands up after pettling red-black blood and missing teeth. His silver armor is stained with his own blood. Tsutomu looked at him and suggested to him with a bit of trepidation.


'Let's go all out from now on. We won't have to tank anymore.''


　When Tsutomu said this, Garum fixed his left arm, which was bent sideways, on his own, and forced the fingers of his left hand back in the right direction on his own. Tsutomu pulled a face at the painful sound.

　Then Garum tried to drink the potion from his waist, but the impact-resistant bottle was damaged and its contents leaked out onto the ground. Tsutomu took the green potion from his own waist and offered it to Garum, and he drank it immediately. After drinking half of it and handing it back to Tsutomu, Garum turned his arms around and moved his fingers as if to check the sensation in his hands.


'Let's go then,'


　With that, Garum grabbed Tsutomu's shoulder as he tried to float up on the fly. Tsutomu lost his stance against a force stronger than the force of floating on the fly.


'Why do you need to stop the tank?'
Yes?
Let me finish.


　Tsutomu almost let out a scream as Garum stared at him with eyes like a ghost. Garum removed his hand from Tsutomu's shoulder and floated up on his fly, dripping blood from his own armor.


'I'm awake now. I'll take care of the tank.
Ha, ha.
I'll take the rear.


　As soon as he said that, Garum jumped out of the way. A combat cry with maximum mental power wraps around the fire dragon that is attacking Camille.


''Come!


　Garum shouted with a rattling voice with a little blood in his throat. In response to that voice, the fire dragon that was chasing Camille turned around to Garum who raised his voice.

　He must have trampled it to death for sure. Why are you alive?

　The moment the fire dragon's gaze wandered as if puzzled, he looked at Camille and Tsutomu, who had crawled out of the hole, in turn. The lower part of the large shield was pierced as if to gouge out the fire dragon's crushed eyes. The great shield, which still had the vibration of the Warrior Howl, shook the fire dragon's head.


''Your opponent is me.


　Garum catches the returning large shield with his left hand. His mouth was contorted with amusement and his eyes were like those of a hound hunting down its prey.

　A diminutive, impotent little one. Why do you, that you, have such a look in your eyes? The fire dragon ran its four legs towards Garum and charged at him.

　Camille, who was struggling to avoid the fire dragon's attack in the air, landed beside Tsutomu, who had crawled up from the hole. Camille was sweating sticky and disgusting in the short time she was targeted by the fire dragon.


''Garum is awesome. No, I knew he was a strong guy to begin with, but...''
We're very proud of our tank.


　Camille gave a bitter smile back to Tsutomu, who turned his jaw and stretched his chest slightly, and then looked at Garum, who was attracting the fire dragon.


''Of course, Tsutomu is awesome too.''
'Thank you for that. Pro-Tech.


　Tsutomu, who had been measuring the duration of the protection's effect while talking, let his ochre chi fly at Garum.


'Thanks to Garum's hard work, we'll be able to defeat him safely. I will continue as usual in the future. 　Please don't go into it with any thoughts. If you do that, I'm going to lose my temper.
No way. I don't feel like I can take on a monster like that alone.
Yeah. It seems to be okay. Well then, please go ahead and attack slowly so you don't make too much hate.
Oh!


　Saying that, Tsutomu placed a haste in the direction of Camille's progress as she flew away with the great sword. Camille, who increased her speed significantly, slashed the fire dragon's back leg.

　Thirty minutes later. Garum attracted the fire dragon, Camille continued to attack to keep the fire dragon from gaining hate, and Tsutomu continued to fly his support and recovery skills.

　And the fire dragon was now lying on the ground on all four legs, dying. Tsutomu instructed Camille, who was above the fire dragon, with hand gestures.


''Do.........''
The helmet split.


　The long neck of a fire dragon. Camille, who was in a state of dragonization with a large sword held underneath her, swung a large sword down on its neck from above while wearing blue qi.

　The fire dragon's head was severed and its head fell to the ground. The fire dragon's head, with its tongue sticking out with a dalang, falls in front of Tsutomu.

　And red particles begin to leak out of the fire dragon's body. With a cracking sound of something shattering, the black gate appeared to greet the three of them.


''........Good!


　Tsutomu paused in his gut. He then raised his hands towards his neighbor Garum, who dropped the large shield to the ground. Garum smiled as if he sensed his intentions.


''Eeeeee!''


　Tsutomu and Garum high-fived each other nicely this time. Then they were collectively shoved down by Camille, who threw her big sword and jumped in.
