Infinite Stamina - Chapter 61

About two hundred kilometers away from Dragnof, Haruto, Anna, and Yug walked on a steep mountain way.

The road leading to the Peak Lata was a straight line through the mountains at the northeast of the Dragnof.

With a height of 8,091 meters, Peak Lata was barely in the top 50 highest mountains in the world, but when judged purely by fatality risk the massif’s main peak has, over the years, established itself as the Ishgar Continent’s most dangerous mountain.

This mountain had a kind of sinister energy, frightening the animals nearby, there was no sign of life, even the grass and trees were dead.

Now and then, the sound of lightning passing through the dark clouds resonated, the sky above the mountain was dark and the air was somewhat dry and stifling.

Anna constrainedly walked behind her two teammates, while carrying a large bag on her back.

“Why did I join this team, my goodness, I’m going to die, I feel at least a dozen powerful magic sources.”

“Yug, Haruto, we should turn back, the dragons hidden here are very powerful, just the amount of magical energy they give off creeps me out.”

Even Yug, ever greedy for money, took a serious facial expression, as sweat dripped from his forehead.

With every step Yug and Anna took, they felt as if a mountain was crushing them. Their hearts were beating faster and faster and their breathing rhythms were accelerating.

“Haruto, I agree with the kid, even for someone like me, who has no perception magic, I can feel the magical powers emanating from this peak.”

“And I can tell you it’s absolutely terrifying.”

However, Haruto walking in front was unshakably calm, he firmly held the Katana’s hilt on his belt, looking at the top of the mountain, situated directly in front of him.

“Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to you.”

Still, Yug and Anna walked cautiously, they couldn’t hide the slight fear on their facial expressions.

Suddenly, a gigantic shadow of almost twenty meters long flew into the sky and darted at them.

It was a fairly large creature with green scales, red eyes, and a tail that looked like part of it had been cut off. It also had several

scary scars on its belly.

“A…a… Dragon!!”

Yug and Anna shouted together as their hair stood up, only Haruto had a slight smile.

“Human!! Come into my stomach!!”

Hearing the words spoken by the dragon, the duo wanted to flee as quickly as possible, but when they looked at Haruto, they had an impulse to faint, because, in front of them Haruto was walking on the air, heading towards the dragon.

“Shave!”

In the next second, he appeared ten meters before the flying dragon, he drew his Katana and then a kind of whitish energy, different from magic, exploded out of his body.

*Swing*

Haruto disappeared, and then a powerful flow of white air passed through the dragon, creating violent winds. Haruto reappeared further away, putting his Katana back in its sheath.

Before the unbelieving eyes of Yug and Anna, the dragon was suddenly bisected, with each piece of its body slowly falling from the sky, as if a shower of blood raining on the ground.

Both were completely speechless, they looked at each other with unbelieving eyes as Haruto walked towards them.

“Yug, I’m not dreaming? Did Haruto just cut up a dragon, whose scales are considered unbreakable?”

“How it’s possible, kid? This must be a dream, a dream! Ha-ha, we’ll wake up in a few moments.”

Haruto joined them again and then gave them both a big slap.

“Kid, you want to kill that poor old man!!!”

“Ouch, it hurts, where is your sense of chivalry?!”

“It just checked if you weren’t dreaming.”

“Liar, why are you smiling then?!”

“Because hitting you feels really nice!”

“…”

“…”

. . . . . .

Two dragons fell to the ground as Haruto landed next to Yug and Anna who were looking exhausted.

They had already seen this scene too many times in the last ten hours.

Can you fly? Can you do powerful elemental magic? Do you have indestructible scales without special magic?

Please, don’t get too excited, we have Haruto.

Are your scales tough? Nothing is resistant against Haruto!

You have powerful magic?

Haruto’s too fast! You’ll die before your magic circle is even materialized!

Haruto saw that his two team-mates were tired and sincerely wanted to slap them again.

Killing a dragon was by no means an easy feat, he could cut space sh.i.p.s, made of a very resistant material, in two, at the tender age of 16, thanks to his aura.

Right now he was 26 years old, after the assassination of the Shogun, he stole a space ship and became a space mercenary, training relentlessly in the art of swordsmanship and aura control.

His current style of swordsmanship was the quintessence of Shouyou’s swordsmanship, his kendo from the ninja world, his incessant physical training, his control over the air currents created with his aura and his infinite endurance.

With his current strength, cutting ten space sh.i.p.s at the same time was not a problem at all.

But even using all his strength, he could barely cut a Dragon in half. He had to admit that the Dragons’ defense is terrifying.

Suddenly, as the three walked further in, a powerful magical energy source with an alarming amount of power started approaching them.

“Yug!”

“Yes kid, I also feel that wild energy, that’s the danger brought on by that creature that we felt earlier!!!”

Even Haruto, who had learned no magic of perception, could feel the movements of the Ethernano in the air.

He held his Katana even firmer, as a smile appeared on his lips.

*Bang* *Creak*

“ROOAAAR!!!”

“Damn human how dare you kill my children!”

The whole mountain began to shake, and then, before the astonished eyes of the three, a gigantic dragon, entirely covered with lava, accompanied by seven great dragons, whose bodies were covered with fire, flew in their direction.
