Chapter 117
The cane created by Falga-sama changed into an axe in the hands of Karon .
It gave Karon a powerful cold air power .
It was the biggest threat to us, freezing the surroundings and releasing non-standard magic .
Hmmph!
My gauntlet and Karons axe collided, and a high-pitched metallic sound echoed in the barrier .
The axe was parried by my gauntlet diagonally, but Karon swung up with all his power and tried to hit me again . One hit from him would be fatal, so I have to seriously deal with his attacks .
Gaa!
Oh no you dont!
Karon tries to grab the collar of my uniform, but I lean to the side and dodged .
Instead of receiving his attacks head on, I tried to avoid attacks that can be avoided with minimum effort, and if there is an opportunity, I take the chance to punch there and break Karons pace .
I can still go on!
It was thanks to the training that I was able to fight, but the addition of Falga-samas gauntlets is also great .
Even being attacked by Karons axe head on wasnt a big deal .
I dont want to do this anymore, I want to go home! Why am I in such a place, mouuu!
Thats because youre needed in this battle!
Neah was crying and kneading her ears, but shes still maintaining her magic .
A tremendous amount of cold air is being emitted from Karons axe . With horns and a tail and a further awakening, he has awakened even further than before .
Currently I am protected from the cold by Neahs magic, but Leona-san and Arc-san cant do so without resistance to cold .
Hence pulling the axe away from him is my first priority .
Uuuuu!
U-Usato! This guys making an ice rock!
Tsk, he can even do that with such a distance?
Blocking the axe with my right hand, a number of ice pebbles were formed behind Karon .
Hes really crazy to be able to use this much magic without any preliminary movements !
Ill have no choice but to back off if it were to launch at extreme speed, however, all the ice gravel were drowned out by the flames emitted by Arc-san on the side .
I wont let you!
Guu, ga!
Your opponent is me!
Arc-san struck Karon holding the fire sword with both hands .
With that sudden blow, his position wobbled for a moment, and with that one moment, I took advantage of it and struck .
Normally he should have been blown away by my fist, but he had his legs frozen .
Looking behind, Leona-san is activating magic with one hand on the ground .
Usato, now!
Thank you!!
Karons feet are stuck to the ground with ice, and tries to swing his axe in a confusing manner and generate ice, but all of this is handled accurately by Arc-san, and Leona-sans didnt allow him to be free whilst creating ice constantly on his feet .
Gaaa!
Mu !?
Karon shook the axe that he was swinging around to me .
He attacked from a weird position .
Immediately reacting to his behavior, I took the axe with my right palm without hesitation .
A heavy impact on my palmbut its not enough to crush me with my gauntlets .
!
You cant crush me with such a rough attack!
I dont think you needed to take his attacks head on though!?
I apologized inwardly to Neahs voice, which was about to start crying . I firmly grasped the axes blade with my gauntlet and squeezed my left fist powerfully .
Arc-san and Leona-san were holding him still, and I held his axe to stop him from moving .
Neah! Can you use your restraint magic !?
Its more than enough!
Alright! Lets do it!
Yes!
Until now, I havent dared to use restraint magic .
Restraint magic would work if I could deal some blows to him, but that would only temporarily block Karons movements .
Therefore, I and Neah changed our way of thinking .
Restraint should be restricted, not stopped .
A purple pattern emerged from Neah on my fist .
Aim at that shoulder!
My fist slammed into his shoulder joint which was holding the axe .
His body is very hard .
Thats because his skin and muscles have changed to a dragon, but hes still a human being . Though I can release force by passing an impact through his joints and restrict the movement of his shoulders with restraint magic .
The time during his weakness and restraint magic were moments
There!
For me, that momentary gap is enough!
At the same time as his hand was weakened, I kicked his right hand up from below . The kick hit Karons wrist directly and kicked his axe upwards .
Now you cant use the power of Falga-samas armor!
The axe flies up while rotating and the blade part disappears . changing into a handle-only shape .
Probably, that is the original shape of the armor made by Falga-sama as a cane .
Gaaaaaaaaaaa !!
Im sorry! I cant hold it anymore !!
Leona-san released her hand on the ground when Karon was going on a rampage .
Before the restraint on his leg is completely broken, I kick him in the opposite direction of the axes flight so he cant use his weapon anymore .
Arc-san!
Okay!
Arc-san set the flame on the ice ground between Karon and us, generating a large amount of water vapor mist, blocking his view .
I take a deep breath to calm down seeing a faint image of Karon at the tip of the fog .
Weve suppressed Karon, created a place to fight, and let go of his weapon
The only means of combat left for him who gave up Falga-samas weapon was hand-to-hand combat .
In addition, there is no strong cold air that keeps my friends away .
There is nothing to protect him now! If we fight all at once, we can win !
In my words, Neah and Leona-san and Arc-san who approached just behind me nodded .
The third stage of the operation .
It is to deprive Karon of consciousness .
Its a dangerous strategy that even we dont know if it will succeed, but now that weve come this far, we have no choice but to complete it!
Once I calmed down and took a deep breath, I raised my voice so that Karon, who was in the fog, could hear me .
Im here! Come on, Ill deal with you as much as you want!
Karon, who is at the end of the fog, screamed .
He screamed ferociously to threaten me, and jumped at me with his instinct .
Insane rush .
If you are too reliant on your instincts, it will be easy to handle you no matter how strong you are .
He looks like how I used to be !
I dont like it, but I understand why the wicked dragon used a similar tactic .
I just thrust and punch . I didnt understand my own weakness, and I was full of gaps .
However,
Im different now!
I calmly avoided his attack by stepping sideways and went around behind, hitting him with a full kick .
Giaaaaaaa !!
The attack on his back wasnt much as he stabbed his arm into the icy ground and forcibly turned his body .
I know full well that my kick didnt work .
In the first place, I was luring him to a place .
For the final stage, I was just a decoy .
Strengthening system
At the moment when a dignified voice was heard from in front of Karon, an ice wall created by Leona-san using strengthening appears directly in front of him .
Karon couldnt react to the sudden appearance of the ice wall and slammed into the wall head first .
He collided with the momentum of which he was jumping together with the force of my kick, it seemed to be painful . That mightve been me a few days ago if I hadnt stopped . Im still cold sweating, and I instructed Neah to put a restraint spell on his palm .
Gu, Ga, Gi !
Usato!
Okay!
In response to Leona-sans voice, I placed my palm with restraint magic on Karons back as he tried to stand up with a voice of agony, and tied his body .
The other arm holds down his body, which he tried to turn around .
Sorry to say this but, Im not the one who would be defeating you .
I have the power to fight Karon, but I dont have the power to defeat him .
Leonas system strengthening is not used for attacks either .
Neahs restraint magic can only stop him for a few seconds .
But he is different .
His flame sword, which even cut the bell of Samaria easily, can hurt Karons body, who has not yet completely awakened to the dragon!
Now! Arc-san! I will heal his injuries!
When the ice wall created by Leona-san collapses, Arc-san holds his sword that shines brightly red .
Everything is a stepping stone to give this greatest blow .
With a strong will, he swung down the flame sword which was held upright .
Haaaaaaaah !!
The flame sword that drew a red trajectory cut through Karons body .
It was my physical ability and the magic of Arc-sans flame that cut through the scales of the wicked dragon .
Although the wicked dragon had deteriorated after hundreds of years, the scales covering its body boasted certain strength .
Karons skin, awakened as a dragon, also had the strength of a dragon scale . However, even the scales of a newly born dragon arent as strong as the wicked dragon .
Agu
The air in front of me was torn apart, and the intense heat was affecting me as I was holding onto Karon .
I closed my eyes involuntarily, but I did not let go of his body, though the entire weight of his body weakens .
I supported him in a hurry, and laid him down on the ground with only his upper body raised .
Karon!
Looking at his body with his eyes closed, there are cuts from his shoulders to his thighs .
The reason why the blood did not come out so much was probably because it was cut with a sword of fire, but even still, his wound was shallow .
Whats more
The horns and tail that grew on Karons head are gradually cracking .
This is Is it okay to think that his power as a dragon is disappearing?
I saw the remnants of his dragon shattering like candy, and I asked Neah to check it for the time being .
Neah, is Karon alright?
Theres nothing wrong with his life . Hes breathing and his heart is moving, so hes still alive . Though his own magic power is returning to normal .
I was relieved by Neahs words looking around Karons body .
Usato, is Karon okay !?
Leona-san and Arc-san came up to me .
While applying healing to his wounds, I looked at her .
Its okay, hes alive
Is it, really thats really good .
Leona-san is relieved that Karon is alive .
I was relieved and turned to Arc-san .
Thanks to Arc-san, the wounds are not so bad . It seems that he will be healed soon .
Im surprised I could adjust . After all, you want to deal more damage than suppress it
He smiled refreshingly, and I also smiled .
The tension was released and the tiredness struck my body, but it was good we were able to finish the battle with Karon in the best possible way with some spare capacity left .
This settles one case .
Although it was a short time, it was a tough battle .
There was no bad person in this turmoil .
Karon has exhausted the power of the dragon that sleeps inside him . There is no intention of him there, and he who has become an incarnation of a dragon who wields violence around him can be said to be a disaster .
Therefore, it was really good to be able to help him without any issue .
After this, I completely heal his wounds,
Wa-it .
What !?
Karon desperately grabs the collar of my uniform .
My fist was instinctively ready, but I felt a clear intention in his eyes looking up at me, and lowered my fist .
He spoke to me with a painful expression .
R un . The monster in me is still
Karon, your consciousness !
Usato!
Amako . Whats wrong
I turned my gaze to Amako who was on Bluerins back when Karon was saying intermittently .
Get away from him!
Eh?
Its not over yet! The dragon in him is still awake!
No way!
Usato! Karons magic power has swelled!
The moment after hearing Neahs voice in a hurry, the collar held by him was pulled by an abnormal force .
Immediately I turned to Karon, who had his eyes red and engorged, trying to slam his fist on my face .
Aint this bad !?
Gua !?
Kya !?
Trying to protect Neah who was on my shoulder with both my arms, but I was still blown away .
What is this power ! Its not the same as before !?
Even when defending with the gauntlet, my fist was shaken off .
Confused by his strength, he stood up, and was suffering and scratching his body .
Gu, guaaaaaah !!
Leona-san and Arc-san tried to help me but became rigid due to the painful and sorrowful cry .
I myself cant hide my confusion in his unusual appearance that is different from the past .
Falga-samas voice echoed in my head .
This is
Falga-sama !? What the hell is going on!
He intends to make the next awakening . Hes trying to forcibly amplify the power that should be released to the outside by collecting it from within .
Forcibly, can Karons body endure such a thing?
Every time he scratches his body, cracks run through his entire body .
However, on the contrary, the horns and tail that were crushing change to a stronger shape .
The power that is released to the outside is inside Thats the magical power that Karon released when he awakened !? The human body cant withstand such a large amount of magical power in the body!
If he cant withstand that with his body!?
In a hurry, I turned my gaze back toward Karon, but his appearance was very different from before .
His appearance was closer to a dragon .
Rhagades like broken glass ran all over his body, making a painful figure .
The horns turned into a longer and twisted shape, the tail moved longer and more powerfully, and the most eye-catching was the two wings on his back .
A large wing that could cover his body was growing from his back .
Dra-gon
His appearance had changed so much that I had no choice but to express it .
Falga-sama speaks to me and Neah in our head with a voice that seems to be looking at something painful .
-The power of a pure dragon is too strong for humans . Therefore, Karon was accustomed to the power by slowly awakening . But this is too violent of an awakening .
What will happen to Karon ?
Karons body cannot keep up with the dragon factor which would make his own body .
Falga-sama hesitated to put it into words .
But he killed his emotions and put it into words .
-Collapse .
