“Huuaaaah!!”
With a thunderous battle cry, Leje’s sword swung, leaving a blue trail, and the dragon soldiers caught in it crumbled with a dull sound.
Dozens of dragon soldiers were already rolling on the ground as debris, but the numbers just kept coming.
Thanks to their massive size, even a tiny bone fragment falling created dozens of new dragon soldiers.
“Damn it! So many of them!”
Smashing the advancing dragon soldiers into broken bone fragments, Leje let out an irritable voice.
Having monsters more dangerous than skeletons coming at her in overwhelming numbers was understandably bothersome.
“Kurt! Help me out over here!!”
“I’m busy over here too!”
Kurt, shouting back, was jumping up the body of the main dragon while smashing the attacking dragon soldiers.
Realizing Kurt was on top of him, the main dragon began thrashing around wildly, but he couldn’t shake off Kurt, blessed simultaneously by the Pope and the Saint.
In a split second, Kurt reached up, channeling magic, and lifted a massive axe over his head.
Exhaling sharply, as he summoned his magic, the divine power from the blessings resonated with his magic, creating a thick aura.
“Huup!!”
[GoOOOOO!!]
With a brief battle cry, Kurt brought the axe down on the main dragon’s head, producing a shockwave as if a bomb had exploded, and the dragon’s head was smashed down into the ground.
The power was unimaginable for a human.
All thanks to the blessings from the Pope and the Saint.
[Krooooo!!]
But at that moment, the main dragon roared back as if announcing it wouldn’t go down easily and swung its tail towards Kurt.
“Kugh!?”
Desperately raising the axe up, Kurt managed to block the tail, but deflecting an attack in mid-air was impossible.
With a loud noise, Kurt was sent flying, rolling dozens of times before finally stopping as he crashed to the ground.
“Kurt!”
“I’m fine!”
Leje shouted upon seeing him, but Kurt shouted back, spitting out saliva mixed with blood.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have been obliterated by that attack.
However, given his immense base magic and the blessings from the Saint and the Pope, his physical abilities were magnified many times over.
[Grroooo…!!]
The main dragon, with glowing violet eyes, rose again, glaring at Kurt and Leje with murderous intent.
Beneath it, dozens, close to hundreds of dragon soldiers, gripped weapons made of bone and were staring at the two.
“Rudell! Are you almost done!?”
“Hang in there a bit longer!!”
Seeing this, Leje shouted at Rudell, but he still needed a little more time to complete his spell.
Then, suddenly.
[KroooAAAAA!!]
“Everyone be careful! Dragon breath incoming!”
With a massive mouth opening, the main dragon began to suck in the surrounding air and magic.
At Rudell’s shout, Kurt and Leje charged towards the main dragon, but hundreds of dragon soldiers surged towards them as if to prevent that.
“Damn it! Get out of the way!!”
“This is a hassle!!”
Smashing through the blocking dragon soldiers, Leje and Kurt tried to advance, but the soldiers clung on tenaciously, refusing to let go.
Meanwhile, as if the charging was complete, a violet flash erupted from the main dragon’s mouth.
“Damn…!!”
Rudell clenched his teeth at the sight.
At this moment, blocking the breath wasn’t impossible.
However, to block it, he would have to let go of his concentration, meaning he’d have to start gathering his magic from scratch again.
“Lord Rudellheit. Leave this to me.”
“Eleor!?”
At that moment, Eleor stepped forward, and Rudell wide-eyed, looked at her.
But soon shifting his expression, Rudell nodded firmly.
With a faint smile, Eleor kneeled on the ground, placing her hands together to pray.
“O Goddess, grant your servant the strength to resist evil…”
[KroooOOO!!]
In that instant, the violet flames burst from the main dragon’s mouth, engulfing the area where Rudell and his party were.
However, Rudell and his party didn’t turn to ashes.
“U, uwaaah…”
The immense divine power Eleor possessed formed a barrier of bright light, blocking the main dragon’s breath.
Moments later, the breath ceased, and the surroundings were engulfed in violet flames, but Eleor’s vicinity remained intact as if nothing had happened.
“A-amazing, Eleor!”
“This isn’t something to boast about.”
Responding to Silphier’s words, Eleor stood up from her spot.
Then suddenly…
[Clatter! Clatter!!]
“Eleor! Behind you!!”
Out of nowhere, one dragon soldier appeared, charging at her with a bone blade gleaming.
Seeing it, Eleor’s face went pale, and just as the bone blade was about to strike…
-Boom!!
[Bang!!]
Suddenly, something massive descended from the sky, crushing the charging dragon soldier.
The dragon soldier was obliterated, leaving no trace, and as the dust settled, a gigantic metal armor emerged.
“T-this is…?”
“I’m glad I made it in time… I was worried I might be late…”
Silphier approached the armor, replying to Eleor who had a bewildered expression.
With the sound of clanking machinery, the armor’s back opened, and she skillfully climbed onto it.
“Well, I can’t just stay behind forever!!”
Creeeak…
The armor’s entrance closed, and with a resonating mechanical whirr, gears began to turn.
White steam billowed from the gaps of the massive armor as it stood up.
“Phew…”
Meanwhile, Rudell let out a sigh of relief at the sight.
It was a dangerous situation where Eleor could have been seriously injured if things had gone wrong.
Thanks to Silphier, they had avoided a crisis.
“I guess I need to take another look.”
That shy Silphier had become so proactive without him realizing it.
Deciding he needed to reevaluate her, Rudell began to cast a spell.
Brilliant light radiated around Rudell’s body, and magic circles made of light began to form in the air.
“Finally!!”
“I thought I was going to lose my head waiting!”
Seeing this, Leje and Kurt cheered excitedly.
[KrOOO!!]
At the same time, as if feeling the immense magic, the main dragon and dragon soldiers charged at Rudell.
“Not on my watch!!”
“I’ll block whatever it takes!!”
[KwaHAHA!!!]
However, the main dragon was too dazed to react to Leje and Kurt’s relentless attacks.
Though dragon soldiers that Leje and Kurt couldn’t handle rushed towards Rudell…
[No one gets near Lord Count Weinstein!!]
With movements unexpectedly swift for such a massive form, Silphier began smashing the dragon soldiers.
Overtechnology that far surpassed the scientific achievements of this world.
Every time her golem swung an arm, several dragon soldiers were destroyed and scattered to the ground.
[Clatter! Clatter!!]
[Crack!! Crack!!]
However, the number of dragon soldiers still pouring in was increasing with time.
As Leje and Kurt attacked the main dragon, more dragon soldiers spawned, and dozens, even hundreds began charging towards Rudell.
[L-lord Count! Kurt!! Get down!!]
Seeing the overwhelming horde of dragon soldiers, Silphier took her stance.
From the legs of the armor, spades shot out and embedded into the ground…
Simultaneously, the shoulder section opened to reveal numerous pods filled with rockets.
“What in the world are those…”
[All missiles fire!!]
As Rudell gazed in astonishment, Silphier’s shout launched the countless rockets towards the dragon soldiers and the main dragon.
-KabOOOOOOOOOM!!
The rockets soared, leaving trails of white smoke, causing massive explosions, scattering the remains of the main dragon and dragon soldiers into the sky.
Moments later, as the smoke cleared, the battered body of the main dragon emerged amidst the haze.
[W-Lord Count Weinstein!? Are we almost done!?]
[Ready to go! Everyone get back!!]
While Silphier shouted in shock at the sight of the still-moving main dragon after the rocket bombardment, Rudell’s spell was completed, and he shouted with gathered magic.
Hearing his voice, Leje and Kurt quickly retreated.
With a faint smile, Rudell unleashed his incantation.
“Black Hole.”
