Yomigaeri no Maou

Lesson 220: Mud

It turns out that a skilfully dressed dragon was more of a problem than Barbara's worry if the battle started.

A dragon, even if it's basically a low-ranking one, it's normal to have a lot of reason to dwell on it.

Whether that is convenient for people or not, it has the nature to act logically in line with the purpose.

For this reason, they are unexpectedly indifferent to things that are outside of their purpose, and rarely become aggressive to everything they see, for example.

But not about this dragon this time.

You don't see anything, or you don't have a head to think about, and you're aggressive about everything around you.

He exhales the flames from his mouth, crushes the trees, and throws the trunks in a direction that is not clear. When he flies through the sky, he suddenly descends and hits his body completely on the ground.

"... isn't it this dragon that will destroy this forest before we destroy it?

Iris said that to Barbara as he surrounded and digested the trees burned by the flames emitted by the dragons with water magic.

Not so loud, Barbara is not a man, but an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

Its physical abilities are not the ratio of people, enough to even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground a kilometer away if its good ears are also concerned.

Of course, I'm tired of continuing to show that hearing from time to time, so I usually try to impose some limits on myself and selectively hear the sound, but now I'm in battle and I'm not willing to take any alarm.

The limit is off that you should try it in full bloom even if you are somewhat tired.

I couldn't have heard Iris on the same battlefield.

"I hope not... but it's going to really be like this. I just want to settle this quickly.... and then it's just a question of how much endurance you have. I'll give it a shot. Add a full range of attacks that won't break your surroundings!

That said, Barbara kicked the ground out of her mind.

Its appearance is now an age-aged beauty with blue hair, but its contents are nevertheless old ancient dragons (enchanted dragons).

The trampled ground fell intact in the shape of a foot, further surrounded by a hemispherical crater-like dent.

The moment Barbara's blue hair seemed windy and floated, her body had already been carried over the head of an undressed dragon.

The dragon is unaware of Barbara's existence.

To the dragon looking approximate, Barbara added a heel drop as he rotated in the air.

To a sudden impact, the dragon sews its head to the ground without being able to do anything.

It was a powerful blow, and if it was a normal demon, it was a blow that was taking lives a hundred times.

However, endurance does not seem to coincide with respect to this dragon.

They seem to be damaged, but not enough to interfere with their activities.

It seemed better to give up before the goal that defeating with one blow, ending with a short showdown, would not do as much damage as possible to the surrounding area.

And the dragon seemed to understand that a shock had come from overhead, and instantly turned up and blew the flame.

Barbara's physical abilities would have allowed him to leave the scene immediately.

Because there are more ways to gain thrust in the air than being a dragon.

But Barbara didn't do it, staying on the spot, and breathing deeply, at the same time confirming that a hot, burning flame approached her.

I also feel that the appearance of puffiness and swelling cheeks can only be a little too much for a young woman, but such is a trivial thing before the phenomenon that happened in the next moment.

Shortly after, Barbara blew the inhaled air toward the flame out of her mind, but it wasn't just the air that was thrown out of its mouth, it was tons of water and ice.

"Is it fog ice exhalation (Nebra Grakies brace)...... I heard that was one of the Ice Dragons (Grakies Dragon) that could only throw up a limited number of things... did I just say Ancient Dragon (Enchanted Dragon)"

That's what Illis said as impressed.

Zoe nodded at it,

"I'm glad we're on our side. No matter how much we...... it's a relief to deal with that"

I'm not saying you'll never win.

Anyway, if it's just Zoe or Illis, you can say you're more certain about it than there is Lulu.

But it's tough for you to deal with them individually, and you're likely to lose.

Challenging the two of us will also create the possibility of winning, but you will still suffer quite a few hand injuries.

It is the ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) that make the ancient demons think that much.

That was why it was a dialogue.

But now Barbara is on our complete side.

You don't have to worry about that.

"I've got a gap just fine, and I'm coming."

That's what Zoe ran off to.

While Barbara is drawing attention, she reaches the dragon's feet and Zoe waves her thoughtful spear.

Zoe's spear precisely chops off one leg of the dragon, and the dragon breaks the balance.

But this dragon doesn't just fall either.

Undressed, but that's all I see, I've spread beautiful wings, bumped them back into shape, and directed the flames from Barbara to Zoe.

No matter how ancient the demons were, it was an inevitable calorific flame to take damage if hit directly, but at such a front of the elephant stood Iris at some point, borderline and deflect the flame.

Since only a little flame has burned into the forest, it is a craftsman while extinguishing fire activities at the same time.

It should be a task that requires great magic and high concentration on both, but Illis is a cool face.

If Zoe asks me if I can do the same thing, I won't be able to lighten it up so far, even if I'm not saying it's impossible.

"Is it your father who gave it up after all? You're a good man."

and Zoe said, Illis rarely frowned,

"... I feel subtle when people say I look like him."

And I say a dialogue that makes me feel so sad when a father with a daughter my age is told.

But Zoe also seems to have been convinced by this statement,

"It's only about my arms, not about my personality... I was a fancy, nice guy, but you don't want to look like a girl..."

"You're right. I have respect..."

It's a true story that Iris respects his father Bacchus without a multiplier, but I guess it's because he's still like a rival in some sense who fought so many times betting on Lulu that he gets stuck with something in his back teeth like this.

He wanted to go near Lulu, and he wasted a lot of time saying, "If you beat me," and he actually fought, and he is an Illis who has lost more than once.

It's about feeling that way.

I stayed by Lulu as much as I always liked in my position of proximity.

I couldn't be more flattered if I tried from Illis.

In fact, this perception is vastly divergent from reality, Bacchus is doing intense duties as a proximity, and the kind of time he has beside Lulu to do stupid things and play couldn't be taken as freely as Iris thinks, nor does Iris know how responsible his father was for his serious duties, but whenever, in England, it is apart from that and this.

It should be called the business of making people uncomfortable. Love is what blinds people all the time.

Zoe somehow understood such a complex Iris mind and laughed vaguely,

"It's like Master Bacchus will be alive, and the next time we meet, why don't we fight? If it's Iris right now... I don't think I know what's gonna happen."

and propose.

In fact, Iris' skill is quite high from the eyes of Zoe.

I have the impression that it has come to isolation from Zoe, who was a common soldier, at least though an ancient demon tribe.

To the point that if the present Illis were once in our own country, it would have probably become the ninth side.

Iris nods with a nagging face when he hears Zoe's suggestion.

It seems that for the time being, Illis didn't have the head to play a game of pure merit for thinking about bumping into Bacchus or listening to all the washing up, and this is the first time I've thought about that possibility here.

I don't know what to say, but I guess it means that for Illis Bacchus was an impossibly high wall, a heavy town in a respectable country, and above all a respectable father.

I don't think so, such as letting someone down on their own merits.

So when he heard Zoe's suggestion, Illis thought about it again, and nodded deeply to answer.

"Right...... right. That's an interesting suggestion. I never fought your father properly... but now..."

Illis was always fighting for real, but Bacchus was always fighting to keep his injuries out of the way.

I can't call that a decent fight.

But no one can win how to say Bacchus if you fight like that against Illis right now.

As much as that seems to be the case, Illis was going to have had his training.

"The referee will be me and His Majesty... and I look forward to that. Then I'll go again..."

With that said, Zoe seized the moment when the dragon's flame momentum weakened and went out of the junction and rushed out to the dragon again.

Iris kept the junction intact to protect the forest.

Fire momentum is strong, but its damage is minimized with Iris' extinguishing activity and Barbara's exhalation (braces).

Seems to make sense that you're fighting right now.

Besides, it's time for the fight to end.

All three of them had noticed that the dragon's power was weakening more and more.

Obviously, that dragon is an incomplete substitute, and if you hold it down like this, you don't have to tell me you're going to destroy yourself any day.

That's why it's this way of fighting.

If I could, I wanted to end it all with a single blow, but they couldn't defeat the dragon with an attack that considered the damage around them, because I could understand with Barbara's kick.

That was an attack that was unleashed to crush the dragon with one blow, but ended up doing some damage.

Keep doing moderate damage, and waiting for that collapse was definitely the best choice.

Besides, according to that method, it wouldn't take that long.

The three of them were so sure.

In fact, the dragon's body follows time and collapses more and more.

It turns from a foot chopped off by an elephant into a drooling liquid, and gradually its reduction rises above the body.

Beautiful wings with feathers, hard looking horns and sharp fangs that shatter everything change as if clay had been exposed to water.

"Guuuuuuuuu......"

The voice of the dragon, which had raised a terrible roar earlier, has also turned into a pitiful cry.

And he stretched out his wings, and tried to fly in the air, and both his wings fell to the ground.

The rate of collapse gradually accelerated, and minutes after its collapse began, the dragon no longer kept its shape.

Everything in my body is turned into mud, creating mud puddles.

Among them, his mouth was wide open as he looked at the three as only the sad-faced dragon's neck remained conscious.

But the fangs are also no longer mostly melted, and only the part of their roots remains.

It was obvious that nothing could be done.

"... that's pathetic. Even though it's fake... as the same dragon, I feel sorry for you."

And Barbara came up and said:

Did you understand the word, or not?

The mud dragon stopped opening his mouth and closed his red, shining eyes.

Looks like Barbara felt something.

"Next time, I hope you're born a proper companion. At that time, I'll keep you company... Bye."

That said Barbara opened her palm and pointed it at the dragon's neck.

And the next moment, something like a shock wave was released from its palm, and the dragon's neck disappeared without a trace.

Barbara turned to Zoë and Iris,

"... thank you both. I could have defeated you without causing much damage to the woods... Wouldn't be a very good aftertaste..."

To such a barbara, Zoe shakes her head.

"That's okay... in the first place, it's someone who made something like this to blame"

and said, the snort of Illis.

"Exactly. But... who the hell is it? Is it that girl..."

That's how I snapped as I saw the gray girl that Ilis brought to this occasion and kept locked in the junction.

"I don't know about that...... anyway, shall we head back to the city first? If you wake up, you might be able to hear it."

Zoe said it, so does Illis.

Barbara, I told those two.

"Don't forget to contact me just now...... well, thanks. Tell the people of the city we'll be there again soon."

That's how Zoe and Illis head to the city.
