A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Wing Dragon - It is a kind of monster called a sub dragon, and does not extend to “top” dragon species such as attribute dragon, white dragon, and black dragon.

Dragon species are weak monsters that are classified as intermediate and higher in adulthood and need to survive for a long time to be counted as advanced monsters.

Even in the same adult, the attribute dragon was considered to be above the upper middle level, while the white dragon and the black dragon were considered to be above the upper level. After many years of life and many battles, there are still more dragon species and dragon species than the classic dragon and a wall that cannot be exceeded by the sub dragon.

But, but...

"Uh-huh!?

Although it belongs to the intermediate class, the dragon species is not Date.

Reurus, slashed from the front, raised his voice unexpectedly when the blade of the great sword was hit by the scale.

The Winged Dragon was covered in scales, but whatever it was, it was a swinging blow to the neck. Although I didn't use 'Caloric Release', a blow that would have taken a deep toll if it had been a melting bear didn't get through to Wing Dragon.

Is the scale simply stiff or is the power of the Reurus insufficient? The surface of the earth-colored scale was only shallowly scratched and did not tear.

While avoiding the backward bouncing of his forearm, Reurus whispers in his heart.

(I don't want to use magic as much as possible... but I don't know what to do.)

Reduced magic in battle with Hikudori has been restored to a certain extent by eating defeated Hikudori. However, the healing amount did not reach the depleted amount, and it was confusing to reduce the magic like this.

To a certain extent, it is a "caloric release" that can be activated by your own will, but after activation, you can't squeeze out the magic output, forcibly depleting a large amount of magic.

If it can be activated instantly, it will be more user-friendly, but it is unlikely that such a clever imitation can be made. Do you want to continue to fight only with the "Enhancement" of Eliza's magic, or do you want to go to battle forcibly with the "Caloric Liberation"?

"As far as the size of the body is concerned, it's probably the middle between the pups and the adults. However, even if you're a dragon, your body is tough and the blade is difficult to pass through."

It was a winged dragon that tried to chase the troubled Reurus, but Gilba jumped out to block it. Then, when the winged dragon sideways, which he regarded as tough, was beaten with his right fist and retracted, he unscrewed his fist and waved his right hand.

"If I had a strike weapon, it would still be easy to fight... but because that scale is in the way and it's hard to“ stab "the impact, it's a bad match for me."

"I'm beating up a bad match, but that's...."

Apparently, even as a Gilba, Wing Dragon is a difficult opponent to fight, but I doubt it is true when I see him beating up without asking any questions.

"If these scales or shells are hard monsters, there are several ways to knock them down."

That said, Gilba points to the Wing Dragon as if it were a continuation of the lecture on the journey.

"One, even if it's covered with scales, the front of the body is relatively soft, so I aim for it."

It was a realus that looked at me, but it was true that the front of the dragon - especially the abdomen - was particularly light in the earth-colored body.

"One, dare to aim for the scale on your back. In this case, between scales and scales that do not inhibit movement… it is like targeting the joints. Especially the tail."

Doesn't the scale itself have elasticity? Winged dragons “tie together” sturdy scales like armor, and they can be slashed if they aim for the gap between scales, as Zilba said.

--If there is any dexterity in tearing apart the small scale seams of the moving dragon.

And one last thing.

I told you that beating with a fist was bad, but Gilba grips her right fist again. Then stick out your open left hand in front of you and lower your center of gravity by lowering your hips with your right fist on your back.

Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

"A blow that exceeds the opponent's toughness - knock it in!

The first two were convincing countermeasures for Reurus, but the last one was a very powerful move.

Gilba jumps into a winged dragon with a roar. The dragon that saw it shook his forearm down without hitting his head.

A direct hit would easily shatter a human head and so on. However, when Jilba stepped in from the front without fear of dust, she scratched the forearm of the swinging dragon into her pocket.

"Hmm!

It was the folded elbows that stepped in with the momentum to shatter the ground. The right elbow, knocked down as a counter to the dragon's blow, snapped into a place like the left side of the dragon in front of the body where Jilba said it was thin.

Bakin, a cracking sound sounds like a hard plate. Reurus's vision, which opened his eyes to the sound, reflected the scale of a dragon with a crack in the spider's nest. As declared, Zilba's strike exceeded the Winged Dragon's defenses.

(Well, not if you're watching!

After exploring the surrounding signs and making sure there is no magic of the monster, the Reus rushes out. And Zilba was left to confront the Winged Dragon from the front, turning behind it.

(Tail... gap in scale... aim... aim?

It was a realuse with a big sword on its shoulder and trying to target the tail as Jilba advised, but the tail, nearly two meters away, was moving irregularly like a snake.

Winged dragons have also noticed Reurus turning behind them and are threatening their tails to stay away from them. After seeing the movement of the tail, Reurus feels painful that there is no “target slash” technique in him.

Kimira, Gregorians, and Hikuidori. It was the "caloric release" force push that made the revulsion, and Jilba told me that there was no immediate skill to slaughter the moving target.

While using "Caloric Release", not only physical abilities but also dynamic vision have been enhanced, so you may be able to target and slay them. However, at present, "caloric release" was not used, and there was no trace of confidence that the tail of the dragon could be slashed.

"Whoa whoa whoa!

While doing so, Jilba roared as she dived into the Wing Dragon's pocket. I stepped in as if I had read the Winged Dragon's movements as it was about to open a distance.

However, Jilba did not release a fist or an elbow. I think he pointed his back at the dragon, and he used his back to hit the body of the dragon.

The momentum was so great that Zilba's feet stepped on the ground.

--A giant wing dragon floats in space.

A giant body over five meters may be more than a ton if it does not weigh several hundred kilometers. The Winged Dragon's body rose and flew towards Reurus.

Ugh!

― Caloric Release .

Should it be aggressive or reflective? Reurus forcibly raises his physical abilities by "releasing heat," and looks at the dragon that floats in space in slow-motion vision.

The Wing Dragon's face, blown away by Zilba, much smaller than his own, seemed to be distorted in astonishment. Reurus understands that feeling, but I will not forgive it.

Reurus kicks the ground, accelerating suddenly and thinning into the flying dragon. Then he shook down the big sword on his shoulder and slashed it into the neck of the dragon.

"Ah... I wonder if I should do something like training sometime..."

Reurus, who hadn't snapped the winged dragon's neck, whispered as he worked to dismantle under Zilba's guidance.

It took too long with the dagger, so it was a remark while slashing and tearing the belly of the dragon with the big sword. The smell of blood is likely to bring the monster closer, but I think if I teamed up with Jilba, I would be able to handle it.

Are you training?

"Yes... when I saw Gilba, I thought technology was important."

It was Reurus who stabbed him to death, but even Zilba would have beaten and killed Wing Dragon. It will take some time, but as far as Zilba's battle goes, it looks like it can be defeated intact.

"Of course, technology is important, but this time Mr. Reurus was very distracted, so I was able to take it down easily. Not as good as Cars, but Winged Dragons were good at dealing with flame magic… they switched to melee combat in Reurus's first attack."

"I thought I could defeat it without flame magic...."

I felt fairly weak compared to the Hikuidori I fought yesterday, either because Jilba was with me. If Zilba's words were correct, it would not have been an adult dragon, but it was only the stubbornness of the body that was troublesome.

Eliza's Magic Enhancement cannot be defeated alone, but using Calorie Unlocked would have defeated Reurus alone. However, Reurus thinks he could have defeated without 'caloric release' if he had excellent technology.

(That means that the bird yesterday was a real mess.)

The winged dragon that fought yesterday with Hikuidori. These two will be in the middle ranks, but Reurus doesn't know which one will win if the two compete. Still, from Reurus, it seems that Hikuidori was overwhelmingly stronger.

(I wonder if this is what Jilba calls “compatibility”....)

The result is a Reurus that did not strike the Winged Dragon's neck with a single blow, but it seems that Zilba cannot kill the Winged Dragon with a single blow. Dominic's great sword and "Caloric Liberation" are the only tricks I could make, but if I asked if Reus was stronger than Gilba, the answer would be no.

(Hmm... I don't know)

Evicted from the village of Shenna, he arrived in the abandoned city of Laval and ran away without time to look back. I am still working to investigate the anomalies around the abandoned city of Madalo, but I am worried that if I see the battle in Zilba, it will be fine as it is.

"Haha....."

Gilba leans her neck with unexplained anxiety, but sees such a revulsion and laughs small. It wasn't about making a fool of Reurus, it was a way of laughing that felt warm.

"Mr. Reurus is still young. You should hone your skills as much as you can from now on... no, I'm more afraid of Mr. Reurus' way of fighting."

"Afraid? Am I better off fighting?

It is unexpected that Gilba should say such a thing, and Reurus distorts his expression from surprise.

"Yes, I hope you don't offend me, but Mr. Reurus is fighting like a fierce beast. We might be able to seal it off with technology... but how do we fight it?

"I'm going to rip their necks off in preparation for a match."

Assemble while being attacked by enemies and take them down with a single hit. If you can't do it with a big sword, you can't do it with a dagger, and if you can't do it with a dagger, you'll have no choice but to cut off the enemy's neck.

If you were yourself now, wouldn't you be able to do something with Eliza's "contract" if you didn't die instantly? It is only because of such optimism that a choice can be made.

"Look, that's what scares me. Instead of fleeing there, he brings it into battle to take down his enemies. That posture is something even monsters can't hold inside. Rather, Grego... no, this is bullshit."

Gilba cut off a very curious remark on the way, but I didn't want to hear it until the end as a revulsion.

"... I think we need some technology to protect ourselves."

"So if Mr. Reurus' taste dies, why don't we just fall? Besides, technology is not something that can be acquired in a short time. In the case of Mr. Reurus, I think it would be better to hone the battle that suits me in practice."

That's what I was told, Reurus. Even if you are told to hone your way of fighting in battle, it will not change to "so far”.

"In Reurus' case, who learns the technology? Do you know anyone who can handle the Great Sword and who can mentor others?

"Oh, Dominic's boss?

"From my point of view, Dominique also seemed to polish himself in action....."

According to what Senior Adventurer Nicolas told me, there is no one in the abandoned city of Laval who can teach others. Everyone has brushed their arms in battle and lived as an adventurer.

"Well, there's no need to draw conclusions right away. Let's put an end to this disturbance first."

"That's right...."

A sip of technology is not something you get overnight. Rather, it is likely that Zilba will be halfway there, and even if she learns the technology, she will have to find a leader first.

"Incidentally, how long would it take you to learn how to fight Zilba?

"Mr. Reurus seems to be in good spirits, and if he's as good as me, ten years would be enough."

"Ten years..."

I've never heard of Jilba's age, but the years that have gone to his current skill will not be enough in ten years. In that sense, I would have praised Reurus, but as a Reurus, I could not be honest with him.

(One step at a time, I have to go to the tunnel....)

I'm going to polish the way I can fight. Reurus concluded that--

…………

"─!?

I felt the gaze from “something” and looked back like I had been played. He threw the dagger that had dismantled the dragon unconsciously, grabbed the big sword placed beside him, and turned to the back of his body.

Are you a monster?

Zilba searched the surrounding area for signs of such a reaction.

"No... gaze? It's like someone was watching me...."

There are no signs of magic in the realm where Reurus can feel it. Still, I felt like someone was seeing it so clearly that I didn't think it was a mistake.

"... there's also the body of the Winged Dragon, so let's retreat to Madalo Waste City once and for all"

Gilba suggests to Reurus that he should remain alert after a few dozen seconds.

Reurus nodded silently when he heard it.
