Chương 65: Chapter 36:”Battle with the Flame Dragon 3″

"I'll fight him just a little longer. In the meantime, Alice and Milia, cooperate and make just a little bit—it's enough! Make a powerful lightning bolt just to paralyze him! The Combination Magic [Delrain] should work!" I state my own strategy. I intended to jump onto the Flame Dragon's head and cancel the brainwashing magic, aiming for the moment when it was paralyzed. Hearing my words, Alice shakes her finger tch tch with a strangely meaningful smile.

"Fuffuffu. It's not like we've done nothing for half a year. Leave it to us."

"We'll do it for you. The ultimate punishment for the big lizard that tormented Yu terribly." Milia was wearing the darkest smile recently. The figures of the two are reliable from the bottom of my heart. So I can entrust my back to them with peace of mind.

"Here I go! Flame Dragon! I'll release you from that suffering soon!" The Flame Dragon raised a loud growl as if desiring it. But as usual, the hand of attack is fierce and does not loosen. I continued to attract this guy desperately. Thinking until the magic of the two is ready, my body felt light like a feather. Before long, finally, the magic of the two activates.

"Turbulent clouds. Give great power to the thunder that covers the heavens. [Tilhaina]."

"Thunder roaring in heaven and earth! Give judgment to that tyrannical dragon! [Delvaltia]!" I was astonished. Because. What is that!? I know [Tilhine] and [Delvalt], but those are magic I've never seen or heard of until now! To me with wide eyes, Alice explained triumphantly while continuing to release lightning with full power.

"It's a super-high-ranking magic we newly devised. We concentrated on polishing the magic of our specialty systems. It's an idea that you or Argus, who can do anything, wouldn't have, right?" Certainly. To the extent that I can do anything poorly, I didn't have the idea to specialize. Jack of all trades, master of none; here it reaches its peak. Before I knew it, the two had become much more expert than me in their specialty magic.

"Alright. It's done!" Looking up, a thundercloud incomparable to the one during the Magic Tournament was completed. If it's this. If it's this, it will surely work on him too!

"Here we go! Milia too, together!"

"Yes!""" Combination Magic! [Delrains]!"" At that moment, a flash burst. A roar enough to erase all sounds of the forest runs. Along with dizziness, when I recognized that it reached the earth—. A lightning bolt extra-large enough to involve trees along with the huge body was hitting the Flame Dragon directly like an arrow. And that produced an effect exceeding expectations. That Flame Dragon, on whom no matter how much magic was shot, it didn't work at all—was seriously paralyzed and unable to move.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. That wasn't just for a moment either. It was a decisively large opening that would take more than several seconds to recover. If there is that much time, I can proceed safely. I immediately jump onto the Flame Dragon's head, transform into a woman, and place my hand there. As Milia said, I understood that a strange flow of magic elements was occurring in the brain. I manipulate magic elements to untangle it.

[Magic Cancel]. Alright. It worked! When what I had to do was done, I jumped down quickly and watched the reaction of the Flame Dragon intently. I just prepare myself for when it attacks again. Now. What happens. If it doesn't become docile with this, there is nothing I can do anymore. There was no worry. As expected, it seemed to be the correct answer. The light of reason returned to the Flame Dragon's eyes. Gururururu... The Flame Dragon raises a growl quietly. To me, for some reason, it sounded like human words.

『I thank you. Child of man. 』 I was surprised by the excessiveness of the event and lost my strength to stand.

"Eh, it spoke!?"

"Seriously!? I don't understand at all though."

"To me too, just a growl." 『Hoh. Do you understand the language of dragons? 』"It seems I somehow understand." I wonder why. I got it. The ability to understand the language of humans in this world was applied to Dragon Language too. There is no other likely reason. The Flame Dragon bowed its head looking truly apologetic. 『Although I had lost my sanity, I am truly sorry for rampaging terribly. 』"The one who is really bad is the guy who was controlling you. You are not bad."

Now that the situation has finally calmed down, Karla-senpai's last moments are recalled. With intense sadness and anger, I clenched my fist strongly. Who on earth is it! The guy who did such a thing! As if responding to that thought, the Flame Dragon answered. 『It's a woman wearing a mask. That one tried to control me. 』"Wha—!?" The Masked Woman. I have confronted her many times. The head executive of the masked group, whose true identity is always elusive and unpredictable. Dammit! That guy! That guy did it!

"What's wrong?" To Alice who had approached here before I knew it, I conveyed as if squeezing out emotions while trembling my shoulders with anger.

"It's the Masked Woman. This incident, probably that guy did it trying to get rid of us! Involving unrelated surroundings again!"

"Ehh!?" The Masked Woman, who was watching the battle so as not to be sensed by them, was trembling wana wana with an expression of disbelief.

"No way, that Flame Dragon! Kuh. To think they had grown this much...!" It's not that she let her guard down. Even though she played the best card she currently had. They survived with almost minimal sacrifice with activities exceeding assumptions.

"Those children will undoubtedly become a big threat to us. I have to report the failure to Master...!" She turned her back on the three with regret and ran out into the forest. Here, she commits a big mistake. Due to excessive agitation, the consciousness of trying to hide had become thin. Milia discovered that sharply.

"........................" Milia decided to chase her alone, leaving Yu and Alice who were completely distracted by the Flame Dragon. Before she escapes again. Before being deceived. A certain suspicion that had been caught in her mind for a long time finally turned into conviction. While floating a sad expression at that fact.

"Does that mean the Masked Woman might still be nearby!?"

"Yeah. Must be so." And again, she will probably disappear before we catch up. I was frustrated and slammed my clenched fist onto my thigh.

"Hey, Milia. Are? (Huh?)""Eh? Not here...?" When we noticed, Milia's figure was nowhere to be found. The Flame Dragon, who is not a concerned party, told us in a hateful nonchalant tone. 『If it's her, she went after that Masked Woman just now. 』 Zokuri, a bad premonition rushes in. Dangerous. No matter what, alone is...! Transforming into a man, I search for Qi in a hurry. Perhaps because the Masked Woman is wearing a special mask, I cannot sense her Qi. If searching, it's Milia. —Found her.

She is moving away, but she hasn't gone that far yet.

"Alice. I'm going to chase after Milia from now on. I'll go at full speed, so follow me so as not to lose sight!"

"Got it!" I whip my body, which became unsteady due to the death match lasting several hours, once more. If it's for Milia, it's nothing. Applying full-throttle Qi Reinforcement, I start running putting my impatient feelings on my legs. Alice is also following so as not to separate from behind. To the leaving back, a voice called out from the Flame Dragon. 『Child of man. I will surely return this favor someday. Eventually, I shall lend you my strength just once. 』 I thanked him without looking back.

"Thank you!" But now, my head was full only with the thing in front of me. Milia! Please be safe until we get there!
