Chapter 478 – The Magic Run

A skinny corpse pierced by thorny skewers.

Iona’s face brightens as she looks at what was once called Vlad Draculea.

Iona pulls out her spear with an expression of both relief and pride. At the same time, her shell, which had already sucked all of her blood, shattered and turned into powder.

Passs.

Iona is momentarily appreciative as she watches the debris scattering into the air. The battle is already over, and the excessive concentration has been relieved, so it’s as usual…

“Wryyyyy!!!”

No, it was a little more flavorful than usual. This is because her spirit was exalted to the point of excessive strength due to the sudden increase in strength.

Her shout of victory, as if she had ceased to be human for a long time, ended with her remaining stamina, which was as much as Iona’s platypus claws, being completely discharged.

Iona sighs as she lays on the floor, half-collapsed.

“Woah woah… She was just trying to bide her time, but she won… “She should rest for a bit and then join Yandel!”

Yandel will definitely show a surprised yet happy expression.

Iona, who was about to take one of her blood transfusion packs from her subspace pouch, stopped, laughing.

The problem was that she drank all of her blood transfusion packs, but more than that, it was because she belatedly realized the condition of her body.

“What? What? “Isn’t this dangerous?”

It is true that Ionaga is skilled in handling blood of a higher rank than herself. But it’s not for nothing that people say she goes to great lengths.

This time, the power she absorbed was too much.

She poured out her blood to the level of Pigalle and she drank Yandel’s blood. She also absorbed Vlad’s enormous amount of blood through Chepeshu.

She’s okay now because she’s so exhausted, but what happens when she’s forced to recover and start to exert her strength? The answer came quickly.

Her body would explode and regenerate over and over again until she got used to it.

Iona, whose body was trembling at the thought of ominous thoughts, eventually relaxed her hold on her body and looked up blankly at the sky again.

It was not the blue sky that gave her peace of mind. Not only did the color change every moment due to the magical light exploding from afar, but part of a huge dragon was also visible at the edge of the field of vision.

I don’t have the strength to turn my head, so I can’t check the situation, but it looks like they’re fighting well because the loud noises coming from afar are constant.

“It would be okay if you were a Yandel student…”

Iona nodded her head, expressing her trust in her lover, and closed her eyes for a moment.

She had no doubt that everything would be resolved when she woke up again.

***

“Humanity United Assemble… !”

After holding on for a long time, countless circles were drawn behind my back.

That cause burning like a flame is the harbinger of the teleport gate and the prelude to a counterattack!

-That’s funny. Did you dare to call for help through magic in the face of magic?

That’s what I thought until it opened and closed again with Ajidahaka snorting.

The good news is that Havel threw her body with superhuman reflexes and barely made it through.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m not annoyed.

“Hey… “That’s foul!!”

How many high-ranking wizards are in the punitive force? They are talented enough to break through areas where teleportation suppression magic is applied, even if it takes some time.

Even if it is a dragon, it is capable of such an insane act of forcibly closing a completed gate, even though it has not set up a restraining barrier in advance. Does this make sense?

-I understand. It is said that the dragon has not been seen for over 300 years, so it is hard to forget its greatness. I am well aware of the foolishness of mortals.

Although you live a long time, you are also mortal, you lizard! … It wasn’t wrong to say that they were now undead.

In the end, as I was glaring at Ajidahaka in silence, Havel suddenly stood next to me and tapped my shoulder.

“Well, rest assured that I’m here now.”

“… Iknow, right. “I’m glad Lord Havel has come over.”

If it weren’t for the reflexes of a sword master, it would have closed at a speed that I wouldn’t even have dared to climb over.

It’s a pity that the other punitive forces couldn’t get over… Still, if Havel, the main force, has crossed, it can be considered that half of the battle has been crossed.

Havel looked around for a moment and was startled when he saw Tarla, but then he pulled out his sword and fired a bright sword.

-… Is it Sword Master?

Ajidahaka growled in a low voice.

How desperate have we been during this time? This guy was worthy of being called the lord of magic.

To the point where Iris and I couldn’t even use magic properly in front of Ajidahaka.

So, Helena and Solari faced Ajidahaka from the front, Tarla and I took advantage of the opportunity and somehow stabbed the dagger and the power, while Iris assisted us from behind.

Even if I did that, I could barely hold on… If Havel had fought alongside him, the story would have been different.

Even if it’s a dragon, it’s impossible to interfere with auras, even if it’s magic. Not all dragon slayers in history were sword masters for no reason.

A sharp force like a sword. In the past, I only had a vague feeling that it was great, but now I can clearly feel how high Havel has reached.

Havel, with cool eyes, aims his sparkling sword at Ajidahaka.

“Death to the evil dragon, Ajidahaka! “I will defeat you and bring peace to this continent and glory to the empire!”

-I haven’t liked people like you for a long time. Just because you grabbed a sharp knife, it felt like anything happened! A waste is still a waste! [Crawl on the ground quietly!]

Ajidahaka’s eyes sparkled, and an unusual power was felt in the last sentence.

I knew it instinctively. It’s completely different from the degraded language I use… A power closer to authority rather than a racial trait.

The story unfolded before my eyes.

Coo!

A huge, invisible mass of force falls towards us.

“Tsk!”

A feeling as if gravity had multiplied. It’s not so much that you can’t move, but it would be difficult to jump and reach where Ajidahaka is.

Havel frowned slightly and grabbed his sword. I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but it seems like he’s trying to cut off the pressure of Yongeon.

He stopped Havel and opened his mouth.

“It’s done. “Please leave this to me.”

“Hmm? “You mean to me?”

“Yes. Unfortunately, my magic doesn’t work on Ajidahaka… Instead, I can roughly imitate what he can do.”

He shouted, tilting his head crookedly towards Ajidahaka, who was looking down at him arrogantly.

“[Refuse! I don’t listen to those who are weaker than me!]”

Pachaaaaang!

Ajidahaka’s words shattered with a sharp bursting sound. He glared at me through the scattered fragments of power.

-How could Banpoon… !

Eonryeong is nothing but a subordinate compatibility of verb. Normally, it would be impossible to destroy something like this.

But I do have memories of Fafnir. Although it is still difficult to use verbs directly, it is possible to poke at structural weaknesses.

Of course, there was no reason to explain such a thing, so I used an appropriate provocation instead.

“What? “It doesn’t sound like they are the words of a poor dragon who almost died from Fafnir and ran away?”

-I will kill you!!!

Ajidahaka is furious and rushes towards us. Hundreds of high-level magics were cast simultaneously from her wide-spread wings, and her thick tail was aimed squarely at the top of my head.

Amidst her seemingly inescapable hostility, she swung her dagger, erasing several high-ranking spells, and shrugged her shoulders.

“What are you doing? “Why don’t you hurry up and cut up that lizard?”

“… “There’s a lot I want to say, but for now, let’s focus on the enemy in front of us.”

Havel, who was looking at me like I was crazy for some reason, sighed and suddenly took a leap.

Havel cut through lightning, dispersed flames, and sometimes just took hits with his body as he made his way through the bloody high-level magic.

There was no significant damage, perhaps due to the aurors wrapped around her body like armor, but she was constantly caught in the magic explosions and her jumping speed slowed down.

Iris shouted after seeing that.

“I will help! “Go ahead!”

Iris casts a flight spell directly at Havel, pushes him up with telekinesis magic, or creates a foothold with earth or ice elemental magic.

Of course, Ajidahaka did not just sit back and watch. She was casting dispel faster than Iris’ casting speed.

“Punishment!”

-These annoying things!!

In the meantime, when I cast Punishment, I was so focused on blocking it that I couldn’t even pay attention to Iris’ magic.

If it’s a problem because he keeps getting dispelled, Punishment can cause a lot of damage to Ajidahaka, so it’s an obvious choice.

But now, unlike before, Havel is there.

The old knight, who had reached the appropriate position with the help of Iris, swung her sword at the flying tail.

“Hmph!”

A pure white afterimage engraved in the air. The overwhelming essence of destruction swung towards Ajidahaka’s tail, so much so that it seemed like it would cut down everything it touched.

Suddenly!

-Kaaaaa! You! What a waste!!!

Ajidahaka screams in rage, even though the pain shouldn’t be too severe since she’s an undead. I guess it hurt my pride to have my tail cut off by a human.

So far, we’ve been focused on resisting his attacks, but we haven’t been able to inflict any significant damage.

Helena took advantage of that opportunity and raised her mace.

“Lord! “Please take a quick hit!”
“Leave it to me!”

The clouds in the area where Mace was pointing clear. At the same time, the sun shining brightly on the ground illuminated Ajidahaka at an unnatural angle.

The giant lion’s paw hit the guy at incredible speed.

Paang!

-Whoa!

Its scales were fine, but… The shield around his body was broken. In other words, he got it right.

It was the moment when Ajidahaka, who had been flying around so quickly, crashed to the ground.

Coo!

He shouted while holding his dagger towards the fallen body, kicking up dust.

“Let’s hit everyone hard!”

Tarla, who was next to her, nodded her head with a puzzled expression.
