38 Episode 37 ~ Dragon 2






I felt a little uncomfortable as I thrust the Night Sword God against the dragon's throat.



''Hssh! Akira! Get off!!!
'Grrrrrrrr!
Tsk...



Amelia's scream was slow, and the dragon's attack hit me at point-blank range.
And with tremendous force, I was blown away like dust.




''Akira!''



I can hear Amelia's voice in the distance, screaming.
Besides, my back was very sore.
It's probably the impact of the dragon's fall and attack that sent it crashing into the wall of the boss's room.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say.



''Akira, are you okay?''
Yeah, you're good. You look good after cutting your throat.
Dragons are the top of the demons. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.



I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the city.
I landed on the ground and looked at the dragon staring at me.
Its twin eyes of gold glinted in the dimness.



''It was the best I could do.
The fact that it isn't flying even after the gravity magic is broken doesn't mean that Akira's attack isn't working either. ... I'm more surprised by the sharpness of that sword.



Amelia looked at my right hand.
I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your time with us.



''Well, this one is specially made, you know.



I could see the smile on Commander Saran's face when he handed me this.
I don't know because I've never slashed a dragon before, but if it was the sword that the first brave man struck, it might not be strange.



''That kind of Amelia, are you hurt?''
I'm fine. Akira took care of me.
I'll just... I don't remember.



If you don't remember, is it unconsciousness?
It's a good thing that Amelia is not injured.
That was nice, what I did back there.



What are we going to do about this guy?
There's something wrong with that dragon.
What is it?
'It's too weak for a dragon. No matter how much Akira trained them, a few days is not much more than a few days. And yet, the attack went in so easily.



Indeed, it seems a bit stupefying for a dragon.
I marvel at the toughness of not dying by ripping out their throats, but it's not enough for a high level demon.
The status displayed in my field of vision also clearly shows that it is a dragon, but the sense of discomfort could not be wiped away.



''...Let's try it for a minute.
''What are you doing?''
No, I'm gonna play the sickle.
・・・・・・ kama?



I nodded to Amelia, who tilted her head, and started to run.



''Grrrrrr!



As if trying to keep them from getting closer, the long-range attacks that had stopped earlier resumed.
I continued to evade the attack, not caring about the injuries to my right leg and back, and arrived at the foot of the giant dragon.
The dragon, as expected, doesn't make any attacks that might hit me.

The dragon swings its legs up and down, trying to crush me.
I narrowly avoided it and climbed up my body through the swung leg.



''Gruaaaah!



The dragon flails around in pain as he climbs with his sword through the slippery black scales.



''Guh!''
''Gravity magic!!!!''



Just as she was about to be shaken off, Amelia used her gravity magic to stop the dragon from moving.
The dragon's giant sank to the ground a bit.
The dragon was on the verge of falling down, but it was wilful there, but it held on and tried to shake me off for now.

I'm sure there are unimaginable G's being applied, but still being able to move, is that what you call a dragon?

But I don't think I'm starting to think of this dragon as a dragon anymore.



''Well, checkmate.''



I climbed up to my head and thrust the sword in my right hand deep into the golden eyes.



''Ggaaaa!''



The dragon let out a screeching sound and swung its body around with much more force than before.
I put all my weight on the sword and pushed in further.



''Huh! ...Shadow magic activated.



A shadow overflowed out of the sword's blade.
It covers a larger-than-usual boss room and swallows the dragon.
