Chapter 80

The dragon was hovering in the sky . And at the huge dragon’s compound eyes, Tatsumi swung his sword with all his might .



While doing so, he channeled mana into the sword and activated “Mana Strike . ”

The sword then struck the flying dragon’s huge compound eye as he intended . However, Tatsumi felt that he just struck a hard rock with the sword .

Although the sword definitely hit it, it hardly flinched .

Tatsumi then invoked ‘Instant Transition’ while grimacing at the unexpected hardness . At the same time he disappeared in the air, he reappeared on the wall next to Calcedonia .

 

Accompanied by the sound of sparks, Tatsumi once again landed on the city walls .

Tatsumi looked up at the dragon, putting strength to his lower body and set himself up .

“…Damn! The compound eye is too hard!”

Tatsumi, who thought that the sky dragon’s compound eye was soft unlike the rest of its body, aimed at the compound eye .

Certainly, the compound eye must be one of the softest part of the dragon . However, it’s still considerably hard and attacking with an unstable pose in midair didn’t do much damage .

It looked exactly like a dragonfly, and its body’s features were also similar .

However, Tatsumi’s opponent was a dragon . A beast with the title of the strongest in the sky . It was not merely a large earthly dragonfly .

“You okay, Tatsumi?”

Bugarank rushed to help Tatsumi . Calcedonia was following right after .

“I’m fine . I think I can go on…”

“Is there a problem?”

Tatsumi nodded and told Bugarank of what he realized earlier .

“…I see . So that’s why it doesn’t use its legs in the air . ”

The two of them talked while the dragon watched them from the air .

It began to slowly approach the city .

The two amalgamations of myriads of eyes looked down at the defenders and seemed to be evaluating them .

But then again, it was impossible to tell where the compound eyes were looking at .

The dragon would soon enter the range of the defenders’ attacks .

Calcedonia and the others of the restraining group were preparing to attack whenever Bugarank sent his instructions .

“It doesn’t look like ‘Mana Strike’ is doing anything from the first attack . Though it was only the first attack . ”

“There’s nothing else we can do… For now, let’s just continue . ”

“I understand . ”

And at the same time Bugarank answered, Tatsumi disappeared with just those two words left behind .

 

Tatsumi teleported to the dragon’s eyes once again .

He had a close view of the dragon’s huge eyes, yet he could not read the countless cells at all .

Turning his eyes away from the dragon’s eyes, Tatsumi searched for another spot to attack . And then, he found the place .

──If going for the entire eye doesn’t work, why not go for the true eye?

Not just compound eyes exist in a dragonfly; the inner eye also exists . And this world’s dragon was the same as the earthly dragonfly .

At the point where the compound eye met the head─basically the inner carthus1 in a human─there was a protuberance that was the inner eye .

The Earthly dragonfly had three inner eyes but it seems this world’s dragon only had two .

At this time, Tatsumi’s body had already started to fall . Having calculated the speed of the fall in advance, Tatsumi slashed at the dragon with the momentum from the descent .

But just before Tatsumi’s sword hit, the dragon moved

A dragonfly’s sky-sidestepping that was unthinkable for a normal creature . The huge dragon slipped sideways right before Tatsumi’s eyes .

With the movement of such a large object in the air, there would naturally be a disturbance in the atmosphere .

The sudden gust swallowed Tatsumi without giving him any time to resist .

“Uwaaaaaaa!!”

He was played around by the whirlwinds, and his field of vision was changing faster than an Irelia getting a pentakill .

Even so, Tatsumi frantically tried to get a grasp of his surroundings . In the rapidly spinning world that he was in, he noticed a large black thing .

Before he realized what it was, Tatsumi’s chest was met with an enormous force . He couldn’t breathe because of the shock .

Luckily, he had the beast-material armor, extra armor under those, and a shield placed preemptively . His ribcage didn’t break, but Tatsumi was easily tossed away by the shock .

He was sent flying without being able to brace himself or resist .

idk wtf this is and wtf an inner eye is, so someone in the know please help

 

“H-Husbandddddddd?!”

On top the city walls, Calcedonia’s pained voiced shouted out

The things that happened up above the city walls were crystal clear to see

The dragon dodged Tatsumi’s sword and created a violent gust . Tatsumi, getting knocked over by the wind, was blown off by the tail .

Tatsumi was tiny compared to the dragon and couldn’t resist being swept away .

The dragon started to chase after Tatsumi after it knocked him away .

With the surprising speeds of the dragon, it wouldn’t even be a minute before Tatsumi was caught by it .

“Don’t do it!!!”

Twang . A steel arrow was shot at the huge insect .

The arrow was fired from Jadokh’s bow, Lyurn’s Strength . That arrow was wreathed in flames .


This was the magic effect of the greatbow . Any arrow that passed through the bow would have the power of fire added to its strength .

However, a normal wooden arrow would just burn out under the flames . That’s why the arrows for the bow were made with steel .

The flaming arrow headed to the dragon, which was flying swiftly

But the dragon was just that kind of peculiar monster . It suddenly halted in the sky and twisted to avoid the arrow with ease .

“Miloulle!!! The next arrow!!!”

“I got it!!!”

Knowing that there was an arrow waiting for him, Jadokh reached his arm back .

Miloulle had already taken an arrow out of the quiver, and she placed it on Jadokh’s outstretched hand .

Jadokh’s entire body’s muscles swelled .

He used two of his burly arms to firmly prop the bow into position, and the other two arms to pull back on the drawstring . Little by little, Lyurn’s Strength, a bow that couldn’t be used by an ordinary man, bent back .

Before long, he had stretched the drawstring to its limit . The arrow was fired once again .

The arrow wrapped itself in flames as it shot through the sky . However, this arrow was also dodged by the dragon .

That was fine, though .



A smile appeared on Jadokh’s shapely face .

The dragon avoided the arrow, but it didn’t notice the three spells flying to where it it dodged .

The wide-area attack magic of the Thunder System, Thunderstorm .

The piercing attack magic of the Flame System, Flame Lance .

And, the spell borrowing upon the spirits of the ice, Argentum Tempestate . 1

Calcedonia, Morganeich, and Eru . The powerful attack magics that the three shot all hit the dragon .

It was as if they predicted where the dragon would dodge . Countless bolts of thunder poured into the dragon .

The dragon tried to dodge the thunder too, but Calcedonia’s Thunderstorm’s range was too large .

Flashes of lightning pounded into a part of the dragon’s body─the right side of the wings . An untrained eye would think that the thin, clear wings would be fragile, but it was a wing of a dragon . In fact, the wings were stronger than steel, and they endured the attack from the spell .

However, the wings were not impervious to the attack . The dragon’s agility was temporarily shut down . With that gap, it was Morganeich’s Flame Lance to shine

The dragon frantically tried to regain mobility, but its efforts were in vain . The Flame Lance barreled towards the dragon’s torso, which corresponded to the dragonfly’s thorax, and hit .

The combination wasn’t thought through, yet it produced amazing results . This was Calcedonia’s and Morganeich’s distinctive partnership formed over years of being together .

Feeling some of the drive from their former days, the two looked at each other and smiled .

But as soon as Calcedonia realized what she was doing, she immediately averted her gaze . Morganeich could only bitterly smile .

Although the Flame Lance was specialized in penetration, it still could not penetrate the dragon’s exoskeleton .

Even so, it did not do nothing . A person would still die to pebbles if enough pebbles were thrown .

A storm of snow and ice barraged the dragon that had finally managed to regain its posture .

This spirit-powered magic, Argentum Tempestate, had an even larger range than Calcedonia’s Thunderstorm . Of course, this spell was sent by Eru .

Furious gales of snow shrouded the dragon, and ice pellets relentlessly battered its huge body .

It had the power to end the life of normal beasts, but it could not boast of having the power to take the vitality of a dragon .

Humming its four gargantuan wings, the dragon quickly escaped from the storm formed by Argentum Tempestate .

Small parts of the body, all over the place, were frozen over, but the time spent under the influence of the spell was short . It would not do much to harm the dragon .

However, Tatsumi teleported in the air as his friends were attacking .

When he got back to the wall for the second time, his vision was still spinning .

Bugarank promptly healed Tatsumi .

“You okay?”

“Yes…I-I don’t know how…”

While the patriarch healed Tatsumi, the others were continued to conjure spells at the dragon .

Most of their attacks missed, though some did hit, but their purpose was so that Tatsumi had enough time to recover .

“…They’re amazing . ”

“Huh?”

“Your friends . They’re hitting way too many spells on the dragon . ”

Although Bugarank was healing Tatsumi, his gaze was fixed on the dragon .

Tatsumi knew that the agility of the dragon was really abnormal . Even with such a mobile opponent, his friends were hitting a fair percentage of attacks .

Everything was because of their skill and cooperation . The four in charge of creating a diversion weren’t just sending all their attacks at once . They sent magic and arrows at precise times to capitalize on the others’ attacks .

That’s why their attacks were hard to dodge, even with the dragon’s speed . Nevertheless, over seventy percent of the attacks were evaded .

Even if only a pebble’s amount, the four steadily piled up damage onto the dragon .

Tatsumi hoped that they would eventually deal a fatal blow . As soon as Tatsumi had that thought, the dragon suddenly changed directions .

The dragon, which was only dodging until now, came straight to the section of the wall where the four creating a diversion were at .

Before this, the dragon was only driven by the feeling hunger from the devil that possessed it . However, it started to feel something else .

There were tiny creatures that were scraping it, even though they were insignificant . The feeling of anger broke out towards those insignificant beings .

Though possessed by a devil, the dragon was also a living being . It was natural for it to be angry at those that hurt it: one of the basic emotions that came with being alive .

The hunger that came from the devil and the anger that came from itself . These two combined into one new goal .

To devour all the pesky beings . That was its new goal .

In a sense, that meant that the dragon recognized the tiny creatures─humans─as enemies .

From “food” that existed to be eaten to “enemies” that existed to be defeated .

With its new murderous intent, it attacked the warriors that stood atop the city wall .

 

Will be using Latin for Eru’s magic . She’s from a different world, so “Blizzard” or “Ice and Snow Storm,” which are what the spell would translate to going by the previous naming conventions, doesn’t make sense .
