Legend
2,565 words.
At first, Crystal Dragon didn't know what had happened.
I came this far attracted by the smell of my favorite worm, and there was a worm head on the ground.
For crystal dragons, a worm is a big favorite.
It's not about the food you need to live, it's about pure preference.
I found that hobby, so I guess it's natural to concentrate there.
Of course, Crystal Dragon had noticed that Ray and Seto were nearby.
But I don't even bother to kill you for not being a threat to me, but above all for giving myself the head of this worm.
To be precise, killing and eating Ray and Seto didn't seem to taste very good after eating the worm.
Also, I ignored that killing a smaller opponent is a hassle... in which the crystal dragon accidentally feels a severe pain.
"Goaaaaaaa!"
That's not so much a groaning scream at pain as a growl that makes you think so when you can't allow yourself to have an existence that has inflicted pain.
If the monsters around there had listened, they would have had an even more powerful effect than the intimidation of the king Seto uses.
It was such a powerful roar, but Ray endured it.
That's what I decided to do when I challenged a Rank S monster called Crystal Dragon.
Beyond that, I knew there was some reaction at the time of the attack, and I could fully anticipate the possibility that it was a vicious attack.
That's why while listening to the crystal dragon roar, Ray attacks next as he screams.
"Next!
The Death Size attack had some resistance, but still managed to slash and tear down Crystal Dragon armor - precisely skin, but only armor for Ray because it was made of Crystal.
In other words, a death-size attack makes enough sense.
When that happens, the next thing Ray wants to know was if another weapon... a dusk spear attack would make it through.
Similar to the Death Size...... However, I can't stand the magic of Ray about the Death Size, so the Dusk Spear runs its magic as far as it can stand, releasing a thrust into the armor of the Crystal Dragon.
Then, there was only a strong resistance, but still the tip would pierce the armor completely and until half the spear of dusk would be buried in the body of the crystal dragon.
(Hard!
With that in mind, Ray uses his strength to pull the spear of dusk out of the crystal dragon's body.
What I've learned from the two attacks is that while both Death Size and Dusk Spears can do damage to Crystal Dragons, Death Size, anyway, Dusk Spears require a lot of power to do damage.
"Goaaaaaaa!"
I wouldn't have tolerated it if I had tried turning a dusk spear blow into a crystal dragon, not just a death-size blow.
Head to Ray, who has attacked me, and this one wields a tail made of crystals.
A normal monster's tail has almost a whip-like blow.
By contrast, crystal dragon tails covered in crystals, that's what nunchucks...... no, make us assume such weapons as three-verse sticks and nine-verse sticks.
Besides, it's the dragon, not the person waving its tail.
If it hits, Ray won't be safe, even if he was equipped with a dragon robe.
If it's a blade-like blow, the Dragon Robe can prevent that blow.
But if it were to be a blow similar to a weapon like a three-verse stick or a nine-verse stick, naturally, that blow would not be a slash, but a blow like a slap.
For Ray wearing a dragon robe, that hand attack is the most nasty one.
"But!
Prepend the tail orbit and deliberately drop your hips to break your knees and out of balance...... as you go, slap the ground with the hands of those who have a death size and jump sideways with that recoil.
At the next moment, a blow in the tail that should have been swung directly beside it is slapped to the ground as if it were how to bend at right angles.
If Ray had stayed crouched, no doubt a tail blow would have hit him.
"If you don't hit it, no attack of power makes sense!
Bouncing and landing with a recoil that hit the ground, swinging the death size as it were.
Slip the pattern just a little in your hand, pack in the missing time, and slash it on your tail.
Since it was such a half-attack, the damage done to the Crystal Dragon is by no means significant.
Still, being able to sharpen the armor of the crystal dragon at all was a result of what could be described as good for Ray...
"It's troublesome!
Ray screams in frustration as he takes his time from the crystal dragon.
The reason for this is that the armor on the tail that was just damaged by the Death Size Blade is recovered… No, if you think of the armor on the crystal, it may be the correct expression such as regeneration, but the scar has disappeared that way.
It's troublesome.
With that in mind, Fujiray turns his gaze to the wound he put on earlier by Death Size and Dusk Spear...... I doubt it.
The scars left there did not appear to be recovering in particular.
Or maybe he's recovering somewhat, but he can't confirm that from the outside, unlike at least the tail.
(What's going on? In the meantime, it was helpful to me that it clearly has inferior regenerative abilities compared to the Dark World Tree)
It was a dark world tree with very high regenerative abilities, but I managed to defeat it because the dark world tree was buried as a plant and there was no such thing as moving from it.
Of course, there were means of attack such as moving the wax and flying the fruit, so nothing ever moved, but there was still nothing more freely moving around the ground than buried.
If we tried Ray or Seto, we could have defeated him even if he had menacing regenerative abilities because he was such an opponent.
If, like this crystal dragon, there is no doubt that only a presence that can be affirmed as a Rank S monster has the same regenerative ability as a being that should be called the Dark World Tree, we would have had to give up defeating it.
"Goaaaaaaa!"
You understood the tail attack came off, the crystal dragon kept its mouth wide open towards Ray...
"Huh!? Seto!"
Ray calls out to Seto, who was a little far away.
Did Seto understand the meaning of Ray's words just that, he quickly flies through the sky after a few steps of help, and Ray jumps on its back.
And the next moment Seto flew through the sky, a brace was released from the mouth of the crystal dragon.
From above Seto's back, Ray sees the unleashed of the braces.
The trees in the direction of progress are wrapped in crystals as if they were wrapped in ice the moment they touch that brace.
(Crystal brace? If you think the crystal dragon will release it, you don't know.)
I also have a skill called Crystal Brace.
It was a skill acquired with demon stones that defeated monsters that used crystal braces the same way before, but the effect is the same as Crystal Dragon used.... although its power was overwhelmingly higher on the Crystal Dragon.
Anyway, I guess Seto's crystal braces are still at the same level.
Rare skills are naturally few people who can use them.... which is why it is treated as a rare skill.
So if you acquire a rare skill, it becomes harder to level it up.
For example, the demonic eye or magic reflection of Seto's shock, or the death-size magic shield, would be typical of that.
Of course, even rare skills are of a high level, like Seto's optical camouflage and death-size terrain manipulation.
In the case of topographic manipulation, the level has also increased for some reason, such as destroying the nucleus of the dungeon, so it is not appropriate to put it inside in this case.
"Oh, come on, you're lying!?
Ray was watching the effect of crystal braces on the back of a flying ceto, but the crystal-covered trees were shattered the next moment.
That appearance would be more correct in expressions such as grinding rather than shattering.
Ceto's crystal braces are not very good, but they can't do that.
Alternatively, if your skills reach level five, where they are dramatically enhanced, you may be able to imitate that as well.
"Oh, no! Seto!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The crystal dragon must have noticed that Ray and Seto were not in the range of effects of the crystal brace.
He moves his neck wide as he releases the crystal brace and tries to release the crystal brace towards the flying ceto.
"Magic Shield!
With Ray's words, the shield of light appears.
Now I'm dodging crystal braces with Seto's speed, because I have no idea what's going to happen ahead.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Seeing Ray use the Magic Shield, Seto also uses the Magic Reflection again, similar to the Magic Shield...... but produces a considerably smaller shield of light.
But this will only be a respite for Seto.
Because magic reflexes are literally magic reflexes.
The only thing that can be reflected by that skill is magic, and if you think about whether you can reflect the braces that the Crystal Dragon is unleashing...... it will be difficult.
As for Ray, who saw the crystal-wrapped and crushed trees, I wouldn't want to see if he could reflect the crystal brace with a magical reflex.
"Get over here... don't turn around!
Crystal braces released into the air, as if following Seto's flying trajectory.
Heading to the head of such a crystal dragon, Ray throws a spear of dusk at the agitation and frustration.
Because the spear of dusk was enchanted near the limit of its endurance, the thrown spear of dusk pierced the head of the crystal dragon and, at the same time, succeeded in changing the direction in which it emitted the crystal brace with its impact.
"Gugaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
But naturally, those Crystal Dragons who were attacked like that can't be funny.
I didn't know I would imitate myself like this even in this demonic forest, a kind of culmination.
growl with such anger.
But both Ray and Seto are already somewhat used to crystal dragon roars.
Even if that roar is heard, there is no obstacle to action.
"Successful for now... but can't you still imitate things like crushing and piercing"
Put the spear of dusk back on hand, understanding the strength of being called a crystal dragon, in spite of magic to its limits.
You suddenly realize that the spear of dusk pierced your head has disappeared, and Crystal Dragon looks around a little confused.
And when you see Ray's hand gripped with a spear of dusk stuck in his head, the anger and killing released from the crystal dragon increases by a few steps.
"After all, minor injuries will heal, but won't they heal for more than a certain amount of damage"
Ignoring such a crystal dragon, Ray observes how his opponent is doing.
So were the wounds from the first attack, but there was a possibility that they were recovering from the inside, even if the area visible from the outside had not recovered.
Still, it's definitely an overwhelming inferior to the regenerative ability that the Dark World Tree had, and it's definitely an easy opponent to fight in that sense.
"Seto, I knew it was the braces to watch out. That crystal brace is vicious, so we have to make sure it never hits. And a blow with limbs and... I don't know if this guy can use it, but be absolutely careful with dragon language magic"
Dragon language magic.
As the name suggests, only dragons use magic.
… In fact, Elaine, who inherited the Enchanted Dragon's magic stone, can use dragon language magic in the same way.
Some other people who believe in dragons can use dragon language magic, but Hate and Ray have never met the person in their hands, so they don't know if it's true or false.
As for Ray, there is also the perception that religion is enough for Holy Light.
What do you care? It's this dragon language magic that Ray is most alert to.
The reason to be vigilant is that even though I know there is magic called dragon language magic, I don't know exactly what magic it is.
I know some dragon language magic effects that Elaine can use, but if this crystal dragon can use dragon language magic, it's not necessarily the same as Elaine's.
With that in mind, Ray was wary of crystal dragon movements with Seto.
