The railway tunnel we're in right now is located next to a running Dragon Vein . She should obtain the power needed to interfere with ancient monsters if she makes use of this Dragon Vein .
"I-I understand! . . . I'll go with this one!"
Ruli showed me her magic circle's composition as she said that .
. . . It's quite a complex composition . . . Pretty strong for movement jamming indeed . Maintaining this with the pulsing Dragon Vein will be quite an arduous task . . . But the Ruli right now can surely maintain it for a short while . Nice choice .
"Looks good . . . Can you maintain this?"
"I'll do my best!"
"As for me, I'm gonna buy time by aiming for legs of any monster coming this way!"
. . . These two should be fine here . There's probably only going a few monsters coming here thanks to the tunnel .
Alma alone should be more than enough with the help of Ruli's movement jamming magic . I just need to end my fight quick in the meantime .
"I'm counting on you . . . Tell me once you're ready with the Dragon Vein . "
"I understand!"
Afterward, Ruli augmented several magic stones, and installed them on the Dragon Vein .
She's doing good up to making the magic tool . . . but as to whether she can maintain it or not, all I can do is bet on Ruli's skill . When dealing with Dragon Vein, regulating the magic tools once they've been activated is the hardest part .
"I'm done preparing!"
"Got it! Start the magic tool up once I contact you through comm magic . . . Iris, we're heading out!"
"Yes!"
The two of us ran in the tunnel .
A monster showed up ahead of us right after we started running . . .
"SOII!" <TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . > Iris's spear pulverized the monster .
"Alright! Good going!"
Inside the tunnel, only one monster can pass through each time . Iris herself can take care of them . We came out of the tunnel while I was thinking .
"I'm turning into dragon now!"
Iris cast the magic to transform her back into dragon .
A moment later--A huge Darkness Dragon manifested, shoving many monsters away . The ancient monsters here are big, but none can compare at all to Iris in her dragon form .
The monsters launched a concentrated attack on the suddenly appearing foreign object--but Iris paid them no heed . It's all about body size and sturdiness in a free-for-all-fight like this .
『This body really is nice! It's so easy to move around in!』
Iris began rampaging around after saying that . Then all these ancient monsters got blown apart in a blink of an eye, but . . .
『 . . . Haven't you forgotten our objective here?』
Our goal is to arrive at [Broken Star], not to defeat monsters produced by it . After all no matter how many monsters we defeat, [Broken Star] will just keep resurrecting more unless we do something about it .
『Aah! . . . Should I shoot out my breath!?』
Iris asked me after recalling our objective . Indeed, getting closer to Broken Star should be easy if she uses her breath to thin out these monsters, however . . .
『Please go with physical attacks . We have no idea what would happen if a high ranking dragon's breath clashed with [Supra-natural Art] . 』
『I got it!』
Iris turned toward [Broken Star] . Seeing that, I give the instruction to Ruli .
『Ruli, the magic please!』
『Yes!』
Iris mowed down the monsters with her claws . Almost at the same time, Ruli activated movement jamming magic .
Even if our enemies are ancient monsters, the power of Darkness Dragon is just overwhelming . Monsters who got hit by Iris's claws blew away other monsters near them . Then a gap opened between these monsters .
This little gap would have been buried in no time flat were I had no support at all, but thanks to Ruli's Dragon Vein control, the gap persisted momentarily . Maintaining the magic must be difficult with thousands of ancient monsters here--but Ruli seems to be giving her all at it .
However, this situation won't stay for long . It's a match against time .
