Episode 317: Conclusion on the Ice
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What was that speed just now?!”
A human riding a spear approached from the sky. If I remember correctly, it’s Tennoji, the third Japanese person, a companion of Mitaka and Amasawa.
Charlotte frowned at Tennoji flying in the sky. She had met him and talked to him, but this was the first time she had seen him use magic.
To think he could fly and fight like that.
As Charlotte was surprised, Tennoji, for some reason, jumped off the spear while angry and stood next to Amasawa.
“Since when could you move so fast?! I didn’t hear about this!”
“Didn’t I mention it? I swallowed a “Demon Ore” that makes me faster. Thanks to that, my speed has increased significantly.”
“Demon Ore? No, it’s not just faster!”
So, even from his companion’s perspective, Amasawa’s movements are abnormal. Charlotte had never seen such speed, even among Monsters.
As Charlotte stared at the two, Tennoji noticed something and looked up at the sky.
“What, are they still here! I thought I had defeated quite a few of them.”
Charlotte also looked up at the sky, and there were three Blue Dragons.
They were screeching as they headed towards them.
No matter how fast Amasawa is, fighting Dragons in the sky would be disadvantageous. Charlotte readied her Katana, preparing to intercept the Dragons.
However, it wasn’t Amasawa who moved, but Tennoji.
“Those annoying guys! Give me a break!”
Tennoji pointed the large spearhead towards the sky, and six of the seven spearheads flew off and raced through the sky. It was an attack method she had never seen before.
Charlotte was surprised and followed the trajectory of the flying spearheads with her eyes.
Each one was wrapped in Lightning, eventually taking shape. It was a “Golden Dragon.” Emitting a dazzling light, it attacked the three Blue Dragons.
There was no way a Water Dragon could defeat a “Lightning Dragon.” The six “Golden Dragons” latched onto the three Blue Dragons, intertwining in the sky.
The Dragons, their bodies scorched by Lightning, fell powerlessly and returned to sand.
The Lightning Dragons swimming in the sky crackled and disappeared.
Charlotte was so astonished that she stared at the sky, speechless.
Tennoji, who had been looking up at the sky, lightly swung his spear as if nothing had happened and turned towards them.
Charlotte blinked in confusion. Looking at Tennoji’s spear, the spearheads that had been flying in the sky had already returned. Tennoji rested the shaft of the spear on his shoulder and glared at Amasawa.
“Seriously! If you’re going to power up like that, tell me in advance!! You surprised me.”
“Even if you say that… there wasn’t an opportunity to talk about it.”
Amasawa and Tennoji continued talking without paying much attention. One instantly annihilated hundreds of Monsters, and the other easily disposed of three of the strongest Dragonkind.
Incredible combat power. –What kind of hell do you have to go through to obtain such power?
It’s not just Mitaka. These two are also unimaginable monsters.
A cold sweat ran down Charlotte’s back.
◇◇◇
“Bloodstained Ore (Bloody Ore)!!”
Red, glowing veins flowed on the surface of the Black Giant’s body.
The moment it took a step, the ice at its feet exploded. The Giant, moving at a speed too fast to see, charged into the whale.
Giantifying both arms, it grabbed the whale’s head as if hugging it.
“UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
The Blue King, who had been trying to submerge, stopped, and the Giant’s body was lifted instead. Surprised by the brute force, the Blue King tried to remove the Giant’s foothold by dispelling the icy sea.
But this time, Yuma used Water Magic to turn the ground beneath his feet into ice.
The whale was helpless and had no choice but to entrust its body to the Giant.
“Uraaaah!!”
Yuma threw the Blue King with all his might. The whale, which had soared to a height of over fifty meters, fell straight down.
Yuma kicked off the icy ground and readied his Giantified fist.
If that thing touches the ice, it might submerge again. He’ll end it with this!
The Giant moved at high speed, leaving afterimages, and entered the whale’s landing point. He clenched his left fist and stepped forward with his right foot.
He unleashed a full-force left straight at the Blue King, who had fallen in front of him.
“Daah!!”
The fist with sharp Spikes deeply pierced the whale’s head. Furthermore, twisting his fist, the whale’s surface tore, and blood spurted out.
The whale crashed onto the icy ground, but the Giant continued to strike with his powerful fist.
“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!”
Right straight, left hook, and then a barrage of left and right punches exploded on the Blue King.
Flesh was gouged out, bones were shattered, and blood splattered. It was a fatal blow for the Blue King, who had weak Regeneration.
Even so, the Giant didn’t stop the barrage.
He continued to strike with his Giant fist. The Blue King tried to sink its massive body into the ice.
Was it trying to escape again!
“Like hell I’ll let you!!”
The Giant pulled his right foot back and kicked the whale up with a mighty blow.
With a thunderous roar, the Blue King soared into the air, and its Giant body rotated once. The Giant kicked off the icy ground and started running.
He extended a Longsword from the back of his right hand and pierced the falling whale’s abdomen.
In that state, the Giant ran through. The whale’s abdomen tore more and more, and its internal organs and blood spilled out.
The Giant didn’t loosen his grip. He stopped, jumped into the torn abdomen.
He had entered the Blue King’s body. The whale writhed in agony on the ground, rolling on the ice.
The Giant gathered his strength inside the whale’s body and released it all at once.
Hundreds, thousands of Spikes extended in all directions from his steel body, piercing the whale from the inside.
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!”
A deathly scream. The Giant retracted the Spikes and this time extended Longswords from the back of both hands.
–It’s over! Blue King!!
He extended both swords further and moved through the whale’s body, rotating horizontally. He shredded the internal organs and bones like a mixer.
The Blue King screamed at the raging slashes.
It could no longer move or use magic. It could only feel its body being torn to pieces.
In less than a minute, the whale died, and its body turned entirely into sand.
All that remained was the standing Black Giant. The Giant returned the swords in both hands to their original state and looked up at the sky. There was a clear blue sky.
“…It’s over… I finally won…”
Exhaustion washed over him, and Yuma released his Giantification ability. He gradually shrank, returning to human size.
The Metallization ability would probably wear off soon as well. Before that–
Yuma walked on the icy ground and stopped at a certain place. Squatting down and looking closely, he saw a blue, shining Jewel lying there.
Yuma picked up the Jewel, stood up, and looked into the distance.
This was on the sea. He had to return to land. But there was still something he had to do.
He pointed his hand towards the ground and concentrated. He had to use Water Magic to return the frozen sea to its original state.
The ground beneath his feet changed from ice to water.
If all the ice in England melted and the water level dropped, the country should be able to rebuild.
Yuma glanced at his left hand and released the Chimera’s Jewel. His body turned red, and large wings grew.
He flicked his long tail and looked at the sea that had returned from ice to water.
Yuma, who had transformed into an Ancient Dragon, headed for the city where Rui and Akito were, and flew away from that place.
