Chapter 1485 December 15th: Tactical Encounter

「Gilalalalalalalalalalalal!!!!」

A dragon made entirely out of blades…… No, if the announcement just now was true, then the shockwave coming across the battlefield just now is the work of the Tenth True Dragon, “tomahawk”. Furthermore, Survival and Urdim are on their way towards the left and right leg of the rising Tomahawk as we speak. Do they want to launch the offensive so soon? …… What the

「Oi! Don’t let something like this get to you!」

Did you seriously just got staggered by something like this? But my words did reach them, and then they stepped forward, although with much effort.

The moment when Tomahawk’s head turns to Urdim-san and tries to turn its giant body towards the relatively highest threat……

GAGON!!!

Two gunshots can be heard from afar, and two bullets flew towards the dragon after a brief burst, and then they explode against Tomahawk’s face. It’s like being slapped the moment you turn around, and Tomahawk’s face is flipped with unnatural movements…… But that’s it.

However, if there is that moment, it will be more than enough of a chance for the two people who have already stepped into the attack range to make their move.

「Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

「Nuuaaahhh!!」

Urdim-san’s Iron Fist was slammed into Tomahawk’s right knee, and Survival’s Iron Fist was slammed into Tomahawk’s left shin. It’s not just a swing, it’s a hit with a buff that can be applied by the Player in advance, but……

「So hard! Seriously, what the hell!? What’s with this response!? This might be really bad!」

「Guh……」

I understand…… So it’s really hard!!! It’s worse than the attack just being nullified, because that would just mean that its Vitality is ridiculously high. But it’s about its scales! They are just too hard!!!

Despite being surprised by five people, Tomahawk, who does not seem to feel the weight of our attacks at all, raises its arm casually. After all, Urdim-san was its target, even though the “Carved Wounds” should have had a slight effect on aggro here, but it feels that its threat judgment exceeds that effect greatly.

But even when we are being shown something like that, that doesn’t mean I’m just going to sit on my ass and cry about it.

「Blade Ignition “Ignition”!」

I then light the fire to Aradval with my MP as the fodder. This is not just any flame out there, this is the scorching heat that kills dragons!!!

「Special Slash!!」

Aradval’s newly acquired ability “Flame Bomb ‘Nitro’” does not accumulate parameters unless the critical hit is intentionally removed. It’s been a painful effect to get used to, but I’ve already solved this problem to an extent.

Kukukuku…… It’s this! This is the “Namakura ‘Pine Resin’’ that I bought in Catzeria! And by applying this thing to your weapon you can get two effects!

One is an extreme drop in the Critical Hit success rate. Specifically, I swung seriously all the time, and failed to land a Critical Hit over and over again…… the probability of landing that blow is below the decimal point.

And the other is……

「Let’s bake you! Now burn!」

At the time of attack, the pine resin ignites and burns!!!

The flames of Aradval capable of burning the dragon and the burning of the Pine Resin. I turn the two flames into a dull slash and slash at the Tomahawk’s shin. I felt strange about the way its body responded to that, as if the attack hit but it didn’t truly connect. However, there was this feeling of my attack being absorbed into this thing, like hitting a stick against tar or something……

「Okkeeeeeeey!!!」

The answer was immediately apparent when I looked at the wound it created. The blade of Aradval burns and melts the outer shell of the Tomahawk only slightly! Slightly! Just slightly! And this is supposed to be the “advantage” weapon!

「I don’t care! I’ll cut you a million times if that’s what it takes!」

I score non-critical attacks here, and therefore “Flame Explosions” are accumulated constantly. And by accumulating “Flame Explosion”, the third ability can be used…… The expected value of “Flame Research ‘Torque’” that raises the performance of Aradval itself in proportion to the accumulation of “Flame Explosion”.

Every time the dragon slayer covered in Pine Resin is shaken, a trace of fusing is carved on the outer shell of the Tomahawk’s blade-like scales. It seems that it finally realized that the sword of this one insect, which seems to be the smallest of fries here, is the most dangerous thing, actually. I’ve set up a tackle that makes full use of the physical disparity, but…… it was already too late.

And since this is a party battle, of course this means that I am not alone and that there are other people watching……

「Urdim! Match!」

「Acknowledged.」

The fate of all bipedal creatures is that it depends on only two legs, which play an important role in supporting the whole body’s mass.

Urdim and Survival, who became free to act since the dragon was looking straight at me, rushed to Tomahawk’s feet, and started to unload their attacks around its ankles.

The next moment, the sound of firing could be heard, and the bullets that were fired hit the side of the Tomahawk face ……… But this time they were not repelled.

BECHA!!!

「Giririririririririririri!?」

A sticky birdlime now covers half of the Tomahawk’s face, which creates a kind of deadly opportunity to halve its field of vision and be a real annoyance. And the moment when its body was reflexively turned in the direction in which the birdlime bullet flew from……

「I’’ make you fall over!!!」

There was a strong impact on both ankles of the Tomahawk from different directions. Its legs and hips that turned into an instinctive offensive lacked tension, and the fate of bipedal-walking creature is something that cannot be escaped even though it is a dragon.

「Survival!!」

「Alright!!!」

Tomahawk, who loses its balance, turns its back to Survival, who was swinging a large iron whip at its feet, as if he were carrying a log. I rushed there, jumped, and landed on the iron whip ……… I’m going now, human-powered catapult!!!

「OOOHHH!!!」

I jumped high by a human-powered catapult and forcible two-step jump, and from there I gained even more altitude by aerial jump.

I can see Tomahawk under my eyes, staring at me with its unblocked eyes. However, at that moment a jet hammer, an accelerating batter that was thrown from somewhere, hits the lower jaw of the dragon…… Nice one, Sigma. It was worth teaching her that the batter should aim at the chin, the temporal region, and then the dovetail…… Recently, I am teaching her a whole lot of things like that.

The time of rebellion against gravity by jumping is over, and my body falls to the ground. However, during that time, the wind blowing from somewhere wrapped around my body, and the magical lines reminiscent of a spider web sew the Blade Dragon to the ground all over, while it started to struggle to break free from those bindings.

Good! So far things seem to be going well! So that’s really great! It’s an ideal move, and each one of us is ready to hit a big firepower into the Tomahawk, which has already exposed a big opening. And I also jumped into Tomahawk’s chest with Aradval without worrying about the danger of falling to my death thanks to the magic of “Fall on Wind” and “Air Cushion” that reduces the fall impact given to me by Karoshis.

「Flame Bomb “Nitro”!!」

If the effect of the Pine Resin disappears, then Aradval can regain its true sharpness…… The jet-black blade burns crimson and shines with hot blue flame!!

「If we’re lucky here, you’ll be stabbed right in your heart!!」

Miniguns, iron fists, magic, dragon-slaying swords…… all of them are struck to crush the dragon called Tomahawk in one fell swoop!!!

Stop moving as it is and repeat the simultaneous attack ──────!!

「Urgency: Detecting abnormal reaction. Master…… Please excuse me for a moment.」

「Whoa there!」

Oi! Sigma then suddenly grabs me like a cat mother grabs a little kitten and tries to carry me away. What the……!?

It was at that time that I noticed something.

Aradval, that was thrust into Tomahawk’s chest, is vibrating with extraordinary momentum. At the very least, Aradval itself doesn’t have that vibrating effect, so this means that……

「Everyone! Fall back!」

Did my voice really managed to reach the other guys? Just then there was a shock wave that was emitted from Tomahawk’s body, which vibrated tremendously without trying to hiding itself anymore, and both myself, who was grasping its neck, and Sigma, who was grasping its body, were blown away.
