“『Have you finished your conversation, little ones?』”

“You waited for me to finish my conversation?　You’re being very lenient.”

“『Make no mistake. Even though I am dealing with the servants of a foolish god, you are still a human being. I just didn’t like that you thought you couldn’t win without a surprise attack!』”

“Hmm……you’ve been using that word for a while now. What do you mean by 『Servants Of God』……?”

When Raidorl asked, the black dragon Fernigesh hung up his crocodile-slit mouth and inhaled heavily.

“『I will not tell you!　I have nothing to give to those who are about to die!』”

“……!”

Fernigesh breathed heavily. This is no longer a child’s play, not even a small test as it was earlier.

It is a synonym for the dragon as the most powerful demon of all. The legendary blow that bears his name: the 『Dragon Breath』.

“Get Down Neferte!!!”

“Kuu …!”

Without even needing to be told by Raidorl, Neferte was already moving.

His survival instincts appealed to him to avoid with all his might. Without going against such instincts, he rolled away from the scene.

“『Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!』”

The place where Raidorl and Neferte had been just a moment ago was gouged out wide open. The bare ground itself disappeared under the breath.

A blow that changes even the terrain. It is truly a powerful attack that deserves to be called a『certain kill』.

“As mighty as I’d expect……! Is it no less powerful than the Holy Sword!”

Raidorl, who avoided the breath, immediately counterattacked. Kicking the ground, he flew towards Fernigesh.

“Your Highness Raidorl!”

“No pressure, if you think you can beat it, go ahead and crack it!”

Shouting to Neferte without looking back, Raidorl swung his Dáinsleif.

“『Hmph….!』”

Apparently, the breath cannot be fired in rapid succession. Fernigesh tries to distance himself from Raidorl, who was approaching from below by flying further up in the air.

“I won’t let you!”

An enormous amount of miasma overflowed from the Dáinsleif. The jet-black miasma that was released takes the shape of a giant blade.

“Cursed sword fighting method――【Giant Machete Hrungnir】!”

“『Nuuu ……!』”

The wielded miasma sword sliced through Fernigesh, who had distanced himself.His jet-black scales scattered and reddish-black blood was sprayed.

“Not enough……!” ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

But……the dragon still can feel the pain despite being out of range.

The full force of the blow only ripped the surface of Fernigesh’s body. It is far from fatal and does little damage.

“『Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa』”

Then…… the dragon’s breath was again spat at Raidorl in mid-air.

An overwhelming shockwave. The breath of strong acid, which easily dissolves even rocks, is directly consumed, and Raidorl’s body is slammed into the mountain bedrock with great force.

“Your Highness Raidorl!!!”

“….. no problem. My back hurts a bit, though.”

Neferte rushed to the crashed Raidorl.

The area where Raidorl had fallen had been gouged out of the bedrock in the shape of a crater, and white smoke was rising from the ground, which had been dissolved by strong acid.

Raidorl? was in the centre of the crater, but his body was enveloped in black miasma like a cocoon. Just before the breath was poured on him, he had covered his entire body with the miasma and defended himself against the strong acid that was spat at him.

“He’s strong. And the fact that it flies in the sky is also troublesome.”

The strong acid breath was powerful, but the advantage of being able to attack unilaterally from a position out of reach of their swords is still significant.

In a duel with Justy Oigist, Raidorl had once spread out the miasma like wings and soared through the air. However, that only reduced the speed of the fall by using the miasma as a parachute. It was not flying in the sky.

Winged dragons and wingless people. The difference in the 『rank』 of the creature, which is determined by birth, is being shown in this way.

“If we use the holy armour, the battle situation will change, but …… let’s not do that. Now is not the time.”

Raidorl chose to save his trump card.

If he wears the Holy Armour, he can fly. He was confident that his fighting ability would increase dramatically and that he would be able to fight more. ……But as powerful as it is, the Holy Armour wears out heavily.

Once it is activated, it cannot be used for a while. It also leaves a load on the body like muscle pain.

The battle with the witch Osman would begin at any moment, and it was not easy to use the trump card.

“A duel with the big boys while strapped to yourself …..is pretty tantalising, ain’t it!”

“『Little one. Is that the end of it?　You seem to be haughty about being the chosen hero of the Holy Sword,…… but you’re so boring!』”

A taunting shout was heard from the skies above.

Fernigesh did not pursue the fallen Raidorl, but flew leisurely through the air and looked down on him.

“Ha!　How long can you continue to act like that!　How long can you continue to be so arrogant after having your wings slashed off!?”

“『Nuuuuh!!!?』”

“Cursed sword fighting method――【Solar Eclipse Sk?ll】!”

Raidorl stood up and barks towards the sky.

Instantly, jet-black slashes fly out from nothingness and slashes are carved into Fernigesh’s wings.

The slash that Raidorl had fired in the past distorted space-time and cut through Fernigesh due to the time difference.

The slash to the wing caused Fernigesh to lose his stance slightly. However, the Black Dragon is not an easy opponent to be dropped so easily.

“『Kuk …… How dare you wound my wings!　Melt away, you slave of the Gods!』”

His breath unleashed while losing his stance.

This is different from earlier. Fernigesh had narrowed the range of his breath to the utmost limit and released a high-density concentrated strong acid breath at Raidorl.

By narrowing the attack range, the power swelled many times over. It would penetrate even if he was clad in miasma as before.

“【Lunar Eclipse Hati】!”

However, Raidorl twisted the strong acid around the whole space.

The cursed sword fighting method, which distorts space, causes the strong acid breath to distort and change direction like a mirage.

“『Gunuuuuuuuuuuuuu!Huma–gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!』”

“The get-together doesn’t seem to fit my mouth…I’ll return it!”

“『Ggahhh!!!』”

Raidorl hit Fernigesh with his own acid breath.

A strong counter. The black dragon falls towards the ground, unable to resist, as it is hit by the strong acid breath that it released.

“Now that you’re on the ground……let me decide this!”

Raidorl kicked the ground to intercept the falling Fernigesh.

He doesn’t give it time to regain its stance. The Dáinsleif strikes at the same time as he falls, and at once drives him out of the battle.

Fernigesh, who is falling down, stared at him with vertically split pupils.

“『I can’t just let this little attack……to kill me like this!』”

“Mm……!”

The falling Fernigesh, ……like the flip of a coin, changed its shape in an instant.

Its huge body, which is several times the size of an elephant, instantly shrinks to the same size as a human and transforms into a humanoid dragon clad in jet-black scales.

“『Nuun!』”

“………!”

Fernigesh, transformed into dragon-headed human form, swings its sharp clawed arms and catches a blow from Dáinsleif.

The Dáinsleif and the Dragon Claw collided head-on.

“【J?rmungandr, the apocalyptic serpent】!”

“【Melt to the bone, Death Crow】!”

An enormous amount of miasma is released from the Dáinsleif. Strong acid is released from the dragon claws of Fernigesh.

Intense attacks released from zero distance feed on each other, causing a counter-extinction.

“Tsk ……!”

“Nwuh……!”

Their power is evenly matched.

Raidorl and Fernigesh are simultaneously flung in opposite directions and land on the ground at a great distance.

“A Dragon man-form….I’m interpreting that as you finally getting serious?”

“It does not matter…… little one. You poor clown, played by the gods! You have made me serious, but don’t think you’ll get out of here alive!”

Fernigesh released a full-body killing blast to kill Raidorl with all his might.

This is where it starts. The start of a genuine fight to the death.

Raidorl turned his blade on Fernigesh, who had assumed the form of a dragon-headed man, and laughed belligerently with his fangs peeled.
