Chapter 37
Stabbing at the dragon’s throat with ‘Yatonokami’, I had a bit of an uncomfortable feeling .
「!!! Akira! Get away from there!!!」
『Guruaaaaaaa!!!』
「…tsk!」
Amelia’s warning was too late, I received a direct hit from the dragon at point-blank range .
And with terrifying power, I was blown away, as if I was dust .
「Akiraaa!」
Screaming, Amelia’s voice could be heard from far away .
And, my back hurt so much .
Most likely, I crashed into the wall of the boss room due to the impact of the dragon’s fall and the attack .
The good thing was, ‘Yatonokami’, which was grasped in my right hand, was without a single scratch, shining darkly as if I had just drawn it out .
There was something on the sword blade that looked like it was dragon blood .
Just as I got up, Amelia rushed over .
「Akira, are you ok?」
「Aah, somehow . …even though I slit its throats, isn’t it just fine . 」
「Even among monsters, dragons are superior . To the point where the Minotaur and Chimera that Akira fought could not be compared to it . 」
As Amelia said that, she touched me all over, checking to see if there were any places that were severely injured .
I looked at the dragon who had come down and was glaring at us .
The golden pair of eyes were glittering within the darkness .
「I used all my strength in the attack though . 」
「It not flying even when I unleashed the gravitational magic, doesn’t mean that Akira’s attack was ineffective as well . …or rather, I’m surprised at the sharpness of that katana . 」
Amelia looked at my right hand .
I lifted ‘Yatonokami’ up a little .
Because I have never fought another dragon before, I can’t make a comparison, but unexpectedly, the blade seemed to easily penetrate the scales .
「Maa, that’s because this guy’s custom-made . 」
Commander Saran’s smile when he gave me this came to mind .
I don’t know since I’ve never fought a dragon before, but if it’s the katana that the first hero forged, it would not be strange .
「Amelia is not injured?」
「Amelia is not injured?」
「I’m fine . Akira protected me . 」
「Ah–… . I don’t remember . 」
The fact that I didn’t remember, was I unconscious .
In any case, it was good that Amelia wasn’t injured .
The me just now, nice one .
「For now, what should we do about that guy . 」
「…that dragon, is a bit strange . 」
「How?」
「For a dragon, it’s too weak . No matter how much Akira trained, a few days of training wouldn’t make a difference . Even so, the attacks easily went through . 」
Certainly, it felt a bit disappointing for a dragon .
I was struck with admiration at its toughness when it didn’t die even when I slit its throat, but for a monster of high order, it was unsatisfying .
Even on the status that was being displayed in my line of vision, it could clearly be seen that it was a dragon, but I was not able to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling .
「…should I try to go and do something . 」
「What are you going to do?」
「What are you going to do?」
「No, I’m going to try and trick it into revealing something . 」
「…trick?」
I nodded at Amelia who tilted her head in confusion, and broke into a run .
『Gurururuaaaaaaaaaaa!!』
As if trying to prevent me from getting closer, the long distance attacks that had stopped just now, had resumed .
Not minding the injuries on my right leg and back, I continued dodging those attacks, and finally arrived at the enormous dragon’s feet .
Even a dragon, wouldn’t use attacks that may injure itself .
The dragon raised its foot, and brought it down as if to crush me .
Just barely dodging that, I ran up its body, going up from the leg that it swung down .
『Guruaaaaaaa!!!?』
Because I stabbed the katana into the slippery black scales in order to climb up, the dragon acted violently due to the pain .
「Guu!!」
「『Gravitational Magic』!!!」
When I was about to be thrown off, Amelia uses gravitational magic to stop the dragon’s movements .
「『Gravitational Magic』!!!」
When I was about to be thrown off, Amelia uses gravitational magic to stop the dragon’s movements .
The enormous dragon sunk into the ground a little .
The dragon had fallen, but was it out of stubbornness, it endured it and immediately tried to throw me off .
Even though it should’ve been put under unimaginable G, the fact that it could move despite that, as expected, was it a dragon?
TN: the ‘G’ here could stand for gravity or the gravitational constant in Newton’s law . It’s most likely the latter
However, I could not believe that this dragon was a dragon .
「Well then, it’s checkmate . 」
Climbing up into its head, I used the katana that I gripped in my right hand to deeply pierce its golden eye .
『Gugaaaaaaa!!!』
The dragon raised its voice as if to scream, and shook its body with such force that it couldn’t be compared to just now .
I put my entire body weight onto my katana, and pushed it in deeper and deeper .
「…!!! …shadow magic . 」
The shadow, spilled out from the sword blade .
It enveloped the boss room that was bigger than usual, and swallowed up the dragon .
