The dragon may not look like much, but don’t let your guard down.
In fact, its breath burned up at least all the land within sight of me in a single blow.
It is small, but it doesn’t seem friendly at all, so I approach it to cut off its head.
I get behind it without it noticing and draw my sword as soon as I’m within range.
The neck is less than ten centimeters thick, and even if it is a little stiff, it is still thin enough to be cut off with a single sword.
That was a lot easier than I thought, dragon.
Just as he thought this, the dragon turned around.
As the target moved, the sword missed its original target and wounded its head.
Then I got a bad feeling and pulled my sword back.
It wasn’t a big attack, and the hardness was softer than Saryong.
Why did I draw my sword when the attack was going well?
The answer came to me when I checked the magic sword in my hand.
The blade on the side that had slashed the dragon was torn to shreds, and the tip looked like it was about to break.
Perhaps the dragon’s body destroys the sword just as a sub-dragon blackens it and dulls its sharpness.
If he had swung it out, it would have broken, which explains why he used to defeat them with magic.
However, although he avoided breaking it, one of the blades was completely ruined, so he would only be able to use it once more.
There is no way to win if the weapon is broken, and I didn’t bring a spare magic sword.
When he thought about it, he remembered the existence of a magical tool that looked like a magic freeze.
The reason I brought it was for just such a case.
The distance is close enough, I should be able to get there now.
So, he took a short distance and tried to get the magic freeze from the item box.
Then came the first physical attack by the dragon.
Fast.
The small dragon instantly accelerated to nearly the top speed of those sub-dragons, and kept its momentum to bite you.
It didn’t do much damage because of its magic armor, but it did take about 20% of the magic armor that I had put all my magic into.
I didn’t expect to lose 20% of my armor to a mere bite, not even a breath.
On top of that, the armor seems to be repairing slower than usual.
I hold up my shield as if to make it disposable in case of a follow-up attack, but the dragon is just floating there, as if it doesn’t really want to fight.
I’m not sure what it’s doing, but I’m glad it’s not chasing me.
However, since it is looking at me, it is unlikely to let me take it by surprise.
Even if you can’t surprise her, now is your chance.
Activate the small warding spell, activate the wisp core magic tool on top of it, and leave immediately.
I thought it would be a bad idea to let him get away, but it turns out that my fears were unfounded.
The dragon does not move, and the effects of the spell take effect.
With a sound like air being sucked in, the dragon was enveloped in white smoke.
It was probably the result of a sudden drop in temperature that turned all the water vapor into ice.
You can’t see the dragon, but you can’t hear its voice or sound.
“Did you …… it?
I couldn’t help but say that out loud, and then I realized that I had raised the flag that I hadn’t done it.
In order to avoid becoming a victim if you didn’t do it, you take evasive action just in case the breath comes.
It was a few seconds later that the breath came.
Thanks to my speed, I succeeded in evading it in the nick of time, and the breath disappeared into the sky.
If I hadn’t noticed the flag, I might have been turned into charcoal by now.
The breath almost cleared his vision, but the dragon didn’t seem to have been harmed at all.
The power of the magic tool was high, but maybe the magic freeze was something else.
In any case, there was no choice but to finish him off with a single sword strike before the sword broke.
He switched swords so that he could use the living blade, and was about to accelerate towards the dragon when the dragon’s movements changed again.
“Quaaaa ……
It let out a small cry and then began to gather black magic around it.
It’s a bit fickle, and I’m not sure what it’s trying to do, but it’s got a lot of firepower, so it’s dangerous to ignore it and go for it.
After about 20 seconds, the magic that had gathered around the dragon turned into flames and began to circle around the dragon.
There were so many of them that it seemed impossible to get close to the dragon without getting hit.
Thinking that its firepower might be low, I took out a lump of rock from the item box and threw it at it, but it evaporated in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
I took advantage of the fact that the other side wasn’t actively attacking me and watched for a while, but the fireball seemed to be sustained by the magic power gathered around it and didn’t seem to disappear.
In addition, since a while ago, the fireballs sometimes leave the dragon and scatter around.
If you’re not unlucky, you won’t be hit by too many of them, but when I looked behind me and became worried about the ship, I saw that the fireballs were just about to fly into it.
I hurriedly threw a rock at it to cancel it out.
Thank God the fireball was slow.
From the looks of it, the ship had already stopped running and was loading its largest cylinder, keeping a distance of about 500 meters from the dragon.
According to what I heard, it was the final weapon against the dragons, and only one bullet was made due to material constraints (apparently, the resources that could be invested were invested in one bullet).
The main body of the bullet is made of blue metal, and there is a chain attached to the back of it for collecting it after use.
While I was guarding the ship, thinking that it might be a way to break through this fireball field, the bullet was fired with a roar.
Naturally, fireballs attacked the shells, which were only fast enough to be tracked by my eyes, but they were able to burn through the chains, but did not damage the shells.
I don’t know if it was coincidence or skill, but they hit the dragon in the head.
“Kyaaaaaaaaa……
The dragon screamed.
He was bigger than the dragon, but he was hit by a special bullet designed for use against sub-dragons.
A little later, the fireball field around the dragon was disrupted and disappeared.
“Kwaaaa……
The dragon begins to gather magical energy again to rebuild the fireball field.
But it would take as long to create as the first time.
Besides, the dragon had stopped moving until he triggered it.
This was a chance of a lifetime.
I sped up and tried to decapitate the dragon.
Then, when I was in the middle of the unfinished fireball field, something strange happened.
The magical acceleration suddenly cut off.
I don’t know what caused it, but I don’t have time to look into it.
I was on a straight course to the dragon, so of course I couldn’t reach it if the acceleration was cut off.
In fact, if I fell into the sea and slowed down, I would only be a target for the dragon.
The ship’s chain of ammunition had also been broken, so it would not be able to fire a second shot.
I tried pressure magic and explosion magic, but they did not work.
Is there nothing I can do?
Just as I was thinking this, I noticed a white lump in the lower part of my vision.
Perhaps the ice that had formed as a result of the seawater being caught in the water when I activated the magic freeze had happened to escape the fireball and remained.
If you use it as a foothold, you may be able to reach the fireball before it is born.
Considering the current fall speed and distance, the distance is a bit short.
But there is no other way.
Determined to reach it at all costs, he threw a rock backwards from the item box to gain reaction, and tried to adopt a posture that would allow him to gain buoyancy.
As a result of my ingenuity to the limit of my soul, I was able to reach her just in time.
He immediately jumped up with all his might, crushing the ice under his feet, and swung his sword at the dragon’s neck.
The sword sliced through the dragon’s neck, and the sword shattered from where it had cut the dragon.
As I swung my arm out, the blade of the sword was completely broken, with only a small piece of metal barely attached to the hilt.
A few moments later, the dragon’s head fell off and disappeared in a black mist.
Only a few moments later, the main body of the dragon also disappeared, leaving behind only a black magic stone that looked like a wisp core.
A cheer went up from the ship as they realized their victory.
It was a sudden appearance of the dragon, but it was a victory.
It seems that we won half by luck.
Incidentally, the bluish rocks left behind in the burned ruins were also rare, so I collected some of them along with the magic tools and shells that had fallen into the sea.
According to the appraisal, it was mithril ore.
What awaited me on my triumphant return was a peaceful life with no demon attacks, no dragons, and no dragons. ……
Instead, I had to read aloud endlessly surrounded by scholars whose eyes were bloodshot as they tried not to miss a single word.
In the next room, they were discussing how to translate my story and the original document, and I could hear the scholars babbling on and on.
In the midst of all this, I turn the pages of an ancient document with dead eyes and read it aloud.
I don’t have a good grasp of what is written on the pages.
I gave up trying to memorize the contents of the text when I reached 30 hours of reading aloud.
The reason why I did this is.
This time I found out that dragons are real, and I had to think about countermeasures in a hurry.
While we were talking about it, I found out that I could read an ancient document that the country had been keeping unreadable.
There was no need to hurry, because the part I had read so far said that once the dragon was defeated, there would be no more dragons, no more sub-dragons, and the demons would subside, but that didn’t stop the scholar.
According to other books, the dragon I defeated was a poorly made dragon that had been seen only twice in the age of ancient texts, and it was said to happen when the timing happened to be right.
However, according to the record, even if it is a badly made dragon, it is still safe for a while after defeating it, so it is just lucky.
By the way, the specs of a real dragon are as follows.
First of all, both the real and the fake dragons have the same basic property of gathering magic power from their surroundings.
The reason why I can’t use magic anymore is probably due to the depletion of magic power.
It will be a problem if we have to fight for a long time.
Also, it’s about 50 meters long.
It’s shorter than Leviathan, but it’s still big.
Lastly, the most serious problem is that when a dragon is damaged to a certain extent, it shifts from magic gathering mode to fighting mode, and its fighting ability rapidly increases.
The effect is.
The eyes glow red.
The speed of the dragon is about three times faster than in magic gathering mode, and the power is about 50 times stronger.
The breath burns up to the surface of the ocean (if it lands on land, it will destroy the continent, or rather, it did).
If it lands on land, it will destroy the continent.
That’s about all we know.
Enough with the bogus effects!
I’m really glad that the real thing didn’t come out.
Incidentally, the country that produced the book seems to have been destroyed after being attacked in combat mode, so I don’t know if the information is accurate or not.
If this is true, I wonder how the ancient book survived without burning.
I hope that I am wrong.
However, there are only a few ancient documents with such intriguing contents, and most of them are as boring as a mathematics textbook.
Still, if you are told to read them because you need them, you have no choice but to read them.
I wonder how this happened, and how many more books are there.
I finished reading another ancient textbook (about the effects of free magic on fish breeding, which I gave up understanding after about five pages), and was about to start the next one, when I was finally released from this reading with the sound of slamming footsteps outside the door. “Adventurer’s Guild called.
The Adventurer’s Guild says they’ve found a sub-dragon. And two of them!
I thought they weren’t coming out.
