The Branded Female Fencer
Black Witch, White Witch, Part 18 - Mountain of Fire
"If you're going to be a palliative imitator, you can burn every cowardly hand. Interpretation is a sighing technique of bronze dragons without much power. Not the enemy of the flames that burn and melt all of us."
"Heh, you tell me. You guys, can we just stay licked?
In response to Gunz's provocation, several of the bronze dragons unravel their phantoms and return to the figure of the dragon. In the meantime Svalbard turned his fire towards them relentlessly. Several of the bronze dragons were caught in flames and tried to shake off the flames, but it was a futile act. Because Svalbard's flames never tried to let go of his opponent once they were together, as if it were of its own will.
But the bronze dragons, who swept through the flames of Svalbard and returned to the figure of the dragon, threw up their braces at once. A corrosive brace that also corrodes iron, but hardly works on Svalbard's body, which boasts more robustness than steel. Instead, Svalbard's fireworks burned down the perimeter again, as if to purify the braces of corrosion with flames.
"Isn't it overwhelming, the Fire Dragon?"
"Naturally. Our clan is one of the toughest dragon settlements in the Fire Dragon. I wouldn't make it a problem when it comes to bronze dragons. The four clans coexist because we care not to fight aggressively."
Perun spoke proudly, but his eyes were never alarmed. Because, despite all that number, not so many bronze dragons swallowed by the flames. Instead of fighting back against it, he also seems to be sitting still. It was the same with Perun and Tajibo that I was uncomfortable with the behaviour of a bronze dragon like never before.
Gunz's voice echoed from beyond the flames, as it fueled that anxiety.
"Sure, you guys are strong. But I'm used to leading the miscellaneous fish around here. My mercenary regiment is always full of shit, I don't know, because it was just a little bit of a workout. But those idiots and scumbags seem to use it. Have you ever seen an elephant die from ants? I do."
At the same time as the end of Gunz's words, the braces were thrown up from multiple directions towards Svalbard. Svall picked one of them out in frustration and spit back the braces, but the bronze dragons quickly made the move or not as handy as they thought. Then the braces are thrown up again from another direction, and Svalbard strikes back. Within doing that repetition, the perimeter has been surrounded by something like steam by a bump of braces, with a clearly worse vision.
"Shit - now I don't see any enemies"
"Were you after this?
"I guess. Be careful, the bronze dragons are flocking around one after the other. Looks like there was an ambush. It's surrounded by more than a hundred bodies."
"Jiri, you're poor. We have to leave this place."
"I don't know."
From where the flames that Svalbard still burned, Gunz suddenly slashed them. He thrust his sword into Svalbard so that he could tap it to his power, but the sword broke so quickly from the inside. Naturally speaking, it is a natural consequence. Because Gunz's sword is a common sword in the world. Not a superior substitute for being able to hurt the dragon's skin.
"Whoa... Nah."
Gunz unhesitatingly threw away his broken sword and shook off his right arm by choosing where the brass of the bronze dragon had hit him directly more than once. The moment Gunz's right arm was swung down, his arm swelled rapidly, but no one had time to stop it.
Red blood scattered like flowers from Svalbard's skin. The sharp claws that suddenly appeared in Gunz succeeded in slashing and tearing the skin of the Fire Dragon.
"Ha ha! You can use it, you right arm!
"Become, what is that human being!
"That right arm..."
"It looks just like Faranx's!
As Alphilis said, Gunz's right arm belonged to Flamebeast Faranx. After Faranx's death, his remaining body was recovered by Anomaly, of which his right arm was given to Gunz. For Anomaly, who was studying creating the Demon King, it is not so difficult to insert the human right arm with another creature. Whether or not it is worn raw - especially if the transplanted side is safe - depends on the individual's qualities and the compatibility of the tissues with each other. Gunz and Faranx did not go so well together, but Gunz had enough mental power to overcome rejection. It just took a lot of time to be able to move like the original.
Anomaly had also previously admitted that he could disguise himself like a human arm when it was not necessary, obviously because Gunz's spiritual power was more than coarse. Gunz also tried his new arm and seemed happy with the comfort of using it.
