Chapter 141 - Dispelling the Crystallization
「Yes yes . Well then, next . . . 」
When Kazane touched the crystallized person with her palm and chanted「Skill・Crystallization・Release,」it was like they thawed; their transparent figure regained its color, and the person suddenly started breathing again . As they were turning back, their bones and muscles and internal organs were visible and left a strange impression, but they continued returning back to normal .
Eibra and his companions once again cheered in surprise . This was already the fifth person . Eibra and the other's attitude was completely different from before as they continued thanking Kazane .
Crystallization was a state abnormality like Curse that few people could dispel . Even if the victims could be recovered, a person who could dispel it would have to be tracked down, and there would be a large fee to dispel the crystallization . It wasn't unusual for people to remain crystallized for years as the necessary money was saved . Kazane was surely a goddess to them for doing it free of charge .
「But if they were able to overwhelm it, wasn't a rescue team unnecessary?」
York asked Naoki beside him as they watched from a distance .
「They didn't know if they could win until they tried . It's better to be prepared . 」
Naoki replied . There was also the purpose of giving people with insufficient fighting strength something to do so they wouldn't participate in the battle on a whim . And Naoki was in that category as well .
Against an opponent with skin that hard, Naoki's magic sword flying technique was lacking in power . There was also the risk of the magic swords being corroded or destroyed by the Breath attack . Actually, even without the Crystallization Skill that Kazane obtained, she could dispel the crystallization with the Infinite Key, but she couldn't repair corroded weapons . It was judged that Naoki wouldn't be able to avoid the Crystal Breath with his power . To be precise, it should be said that only Wolf God Transformed Yumika and Jinrai were approved for close combat . Kazane was not an exception, and she only showed up in a situation where she could hit with her killer technique; Kazane herself judged she couldn't avoid the Breath .
Such judgment was told to Naoki before the battle . He considered it proof of trust that she didn't want to unskillfully deceive him, but it certainly made him keenly aware of his own lack of ability .
「My lack of ability is painful . . . 」
Naoki felt that he hadn't trained enough . York tilted his head at those words . To him, Naoki was also in the same category as Kazane and the rest . York couldn't understand Naoki's thoughts .
「Oh, so this is the legendary gem Rainbow Heart . 」
「In my entire life, I have never seen such a sparkling crystal . 」
「I haven't seen that many jewels, but . . . this is amazing . 」
Louise, Tiara, and Yumika were admiring the Rainbow Heart . Tiara and Louise were excited at seeing an item that was rare even for royalty . At most, they had obtained fragments processed into decorations, so this one in perfect shape was an item that could be sold for enough money to happily provide for their entire lifetime .
And next to them, the Hippo-kun made from the Dragon Crystals christened Hippo-kun Clear was standing side by side with High Hippo-kun . It looked like a marble horse and a crystal horse were lined up, and it was hard to say which one gave a more artistic impression . And the power source for Hippo-kun Clear was the Earth Dragon Heart . That meant it emitted Dragon Spirit, so it was predicted that low level monsters wouldn't approach .
The remaining Crystal Dragon materials were also in the Mysterious Warehouse, and about two thirds would be sold . Incidentally, that class of materials wasn't a match for the Black Rock Dragon materials, so their usefulness was limited as long as they still had material from the Black Rock Dragon . They would probably be used for decorations . Kazane was also happy that the dragon's head was acquired in perfect form this time, since it was destroyed last time .
Furthermore, the Crystal Dragon was essentially inorganic, so Yuuko-nee couldn't eat anything to power up . As a test, they put Dragon Crystals in front of her, but she turned her head away and said「Funyaa . 」
After the treatment was completed, they made their preparations and headed back to the city .
◎ Morogo Mountains Path
They were returning . The journey was completely different from when they came, and it was extremely lively around Kazane and the others . The story of Kazane and the other's journey was compelling to Eibra and the rest, and Eibra's stories about dragon extermination was also very interesting to Kazane . The information about how they challenged flying dragons was particularly helpful .
「Chains? That certainly might be necessary when opposing a large monster . 」
「Well, once you hit with that monstrous kick, it would be meaningless . 」
Kazane was sitting in the coach seat of the carriage, and Eibra nodded as he replied while riding his horse alongside her .
「But in order to use such tools, there's a certain number of people necessary, right?」
After Kazane's words, Eibra said「That's right」while stroking his chin .
「Certainly, since many people are needed to fasten them around trees and rocks . If they become loose and disconnect, someone could become tangled up in them and be torn to shreds, so there are specialists called Chain Masters . I have also heard there is one named Orochi, a『Japanese』person who can seemingly capture a dragon alone . 」
「That's amazing . 」
It was said that the average strength of an adult dragon was about the same as the Crystal Dragon they just battled . However, Crystal Dragons had the abnormally successful Crystal Breath, so a Crystal Dragon was more troublesome in an actual battle .
Anyway, if he could capture one alone, he must possess unusual skill .
「It seems he can capture a dragon by summoning a golden chain from nowhere . 」
And when she listened to Eibra's continuing words, she had a rough idea of that person's identity .
(That is the Restraining Golden Chain . . . . probably . )
In a 1 vs 1 battle, the Golden Chain meant for capturing was probably the most powerful Artifact . In other words, Kazane guessed that Orochi was a player .
「I previously heard a story about a woman who killed a dragon with her fist, but where was it? There aren't many around here, but in the northern part of Orto there is a city with many powerful dragon hunters . Well, but I like this area more . 」
