307-301 Beyond the undeveloped forest ...




 He straddles the back of the Spiritualized Forenoir and moves to the top of the amphibian.

''I still can't see it, and I can't feel the magic of the dragon. But even so, why is it that you are not frightened at all when dealing with a dragon species?''
'I think it's probably the benefit of the title. In fact, when we're fighting, their attacks seem to be a little slower and we feel like we can move faster too.
'I don't know, I don't have a title for a genie, but it sounds interesting.'
 ...I think Forenoire would be able to become a dragon slayer in a heartbeat.
 I swallowed those words before they became words properly.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't get rid of it, but if you can, you want to fight it where the forest is cut off. Otherwise, we're going to have to go into the forest to retrieve it.
''That's right. This forest seems to be inhabited by elves, but the demons are supposed to be mostly untouched, so even if they aren't stronger than the dragon species, there might be demons that are more troublesome than the dragon species.
 If you're a pure combatant, you can handle it, but if you're not, you're going to have a lot of trouble and it's going to take a lot of time.

Shall we go ahead and search for them?
 Even if I can't reach them with my skills, Forenoir's search capabilities are very wide.

''I think it's fine when we cross this forest or supplement the dragon species. Whether we're ahead of them or not, no one but us can fly, so it won't change that much.''
No, you can stop them from getting near the airship. I don't think there are any, but with the threat of secondary artillery...
'There are no absolutes in combat, but only the dragon species can fight me in aerial combat.
 .........I guess it's not a dragon, but a dragon.

Oh, I see. Just give me a hand when you get trapped in the spotlight, buddy.
I've sent Lydia a telepathic message, so we can keep going.
Haha, you're ready. Okay, let's go.
 I took out my holy dragon spear instead of the illusionary sword, then lightly kicked Forenoir in the stomach, and then ran over the amphibian in one go, soaring into the sky.

 Forenoire's momentum increased gung-ho, like a shot-out bullet, and in the blink of an eye, he left the amphibian behind.

'Luciel, I see you.'
Well, yeah, you see. And that's where the forest ends.
 I meditated once and took a deep breath to calm my mind, then opened my eyes and saw that Forenoir was already spinning five magic circles.

 The target is at the end of the uncultivated forest and isn't trying to come close to us, so maybe there's a reason why it can't come to us.
 With that thought in mind, Forenoire accelerated further and activated a laser beam ray of light from the five magic circles.

 As I stared at the streaks of light extending beautifully, I brace myself to see how many dragons I'll be fighting.
 Forenoire's laser beam was emitted not just once, but multiple times, shooting down the pterodactyl one after another.
 Just when I thought this might be an easy win, a few individuals began to appear that couldn't be shot down by the laser beam.
''Does this mean that they are different from the pterosaurs that are weakened by being kept by people? It's funny.'
 Not long after we heard Forenoire's voice, we finally escaped from the skies above the untamed forest... but as if waiting for it, breaths of fire, ice, lightning and stone flew towards us from below.

 Forenoire seemed to have read the ambush and ducked all the breaths, but I decided to put up an area barrier to see what happened, just in case.
'There are more of them than I expected. Luciel, I wonder if the dragon species below can be defeated by one person?''
...that writhing mix of large and small dragon species?
 If I looked down, I could see large red, blue, yellow, and gray dragon species, as well as small demons such as giant snakes, Komodo dragons, lizardmen, and other small demons or swarms of them.
 As expected, I didn't want to force myself to run into that one.

The most important thing to remember is that you have to be able to use it to your advantage.
 I'm completely turned on but you have to do everything you can to fight those guys, and there's always a chance.

'I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm not sure if I can fight them or not, but I'm sure I'll run out of magic soon enough if I fight alone. Just in case.
'Yes. Well, then, it's no wonder.
 Forenoire agreed with me so easily that it was anticlimactic.

'Are you sure?'
'Yes, but I'm sorry, but be careful, you might shake it off if you don't catch it firmly.
Copy that.
 Apparently, he was taking care of himself in his own way, Forenoire.

 After that, when you come up to the sky above the dragons, the forenoir piled up the magic circle that was spun into pieces to the dragon species that tried to chase it, and released a laser beam that could be mistaken for the main gun of an airship.
 The special individuals that were winning just a few minutes ago were shot through their wings and faces, they lost their power and began to fall freely without any way to do so.

 Even so, the attacks still flew one after another from the still numerous pterodactyls and smaller flying types of dragons, and as expected, even Forenohar was hit by a few of them.
 Naturally, there was a shock, but the damage was enough to heal even with heels.
 And when Forenoire had dropped all the powerful individuals to the ground, he spoke to me.

''Luciel, now all that's left is the pterodactyl and the smaller dragons, can I leave it to you?''
'Oh, and more importantly, you're not getting that much of a magical supply from me, are you okay with that?
''Yes, I was inside the spirit crystal. But as expected, I might have to get some magic power from here... so I have a suggestion for you?''
What?
'We'll be passing through the demons from now on, so can we leave all the attacking to you?
 Passing through the demons should be the same as it was before, but I knew immediately that he was probably telling me to take down the one that was even closer.

''Okay. Forenoire, you can run through as you have been.
"Please.
Yeah.

 Forenoir then glides through the demon and the demon, and I put my magic power into the Holy Dragon's spear and carefully put each thrust into the demon.
 However, Forenoire was so fast that even when I felt that I couldn't poke the holy dragon's spear in time, I was able to hit the attack without missing a single time, perhaps because the opponent was a dragon species.

 There were some dragons that looked at us from below and tried to spit out breaths, but in the end, they didn't release them but only let out a yell.
 And when we had knocked down most of the pterodactyls, the amphibians entered a low flight through the forest.

 Since Forenoir was moving around with a flourish, the amphibian was not targeted by the dragons, but slowed down a short distance away from the demons to make sure that the masters had descended to the ground.
''Alright then, let's go down too.''
What about the pterosaurs?
I'll supply you with magic, if you don't mind having it shot down.
Well, with these numbers down, it might be faster.
 When a convincing voice arrived from Forenoir, the magic power gradually flowed to Forenoir.
 Then, as he formed a magic circle, he released a laser beam and succeeded in making all the pterodactyls fall.

''Are you going to join us?''
''Yeah. I don't think there's a problem with the masters, but as you can imagine, numbers are numbers.
Okay.
 Forenoir flapped his wings and descended, and landed on the earth just as he sent another laser beam at the demon that was about to ram the airship.
'Thanks for the help. I'll take care of it from here.
''Yeah, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to the spirit crystals.''
Okay, thank you.
"Hmm.
 Forenoir said and disappeared as if he was sucked into the spirit crystal.

 The distance between them and the masters was already less than fifty meters, so if they fought here, they would be able to meet up.
 The only thing that saved us is that the dragons who were breathing right next to the untamed forest were frozen.......

 With that in mind, I tucked the holy dragon's spear into my magic bag and pulled out my illusory sword and shield instead.
''Well, shall we go then?''
 I activated my body strengthening and channeled my magic power into the illusionary sword and slashed at the demons in the vicinity.
