“H-hey, just how on earth……? Extra Heal? How can you use magic like that!?”
Emily asks, her lips trembling. I replied,
“A coincidence?”
“Do you really think you’ll convince me with thaaat!?”
Perhaps her scream was so loud that an “Uu……” escaped from Gain’s mouth.
“Ahem. Rather than that, we have to do something about that guy first.”
I pointed at the Red Dragon and managed to distract her.
“Kuu…… I don’t feel like it’s working at all…… Uh!”
“……Same.”
Both Fana and Anje were struggling. They managed to dodge the Red Dragon’s fangs and claws, but due to its hard scales and massive body, they are not able to inflict effective damage.
“Then, just like with Atlas, shall we attack it with all of our power?”
“……It’s useless. Maybe we still can’t beat it with that.”
“Then what should we do!?”
At that moment, the red dragon flexed its head widely. Its neck bulged.
“Is it going to release that breath again!?”
“T-that’s bad, right!?”
Fana and Anje tried to keep their distance, but as if it wouldn’t let them escape, the Red Dragon immediately spat out a breath towards them. A raging flame engulfs them in an instant.
“D-dead…….they died?”
“That’s why I told them not to……”
“It’s okay. Those two won’t die just like that. There, look.”
“““Ah!?”””
The first person to emerge from the flames was an unharmed Fana. There was a tremendous whirlpool of wind around her, which must have prevented the flames.
“Who the hell is that girl really!? Even the A-rank Examiner couldn’t prevent that breath…… uh!”
“But where did the other one go?!”
“I don’t see her anywhere. Did her body melt away……?”
Boom! Right then, the ground exploded. Just when they are talking about her, Anje jumped out of the ground.
“D-did she use earth magic to dig into the ground and escape……?”
“……In that instant?”
“I-in any case, they are both safe! It is not possible for it to release breath continuously. If they could somehow defeat it now, then……”
Other test takers were hopeful seeing that the two of them had prevented the breath, but I denied it.
“I don’t think it’s possible. Both of them are already at the limit of their magical power.”
It can’t be said that the two of them have much more magical power than they used to. From the start, they had consumed half of their magical power during the battle with the Red Dragon and it seemed like they had completely used it up now.
“N-no way….…”
“……But the Red Dragon must be a little weaker as well…… In its current state, even we, can do it, right….?”
“Damn it…… we have no choice but to do it!”
The other examinees raised their weapons as if they are determined. Unfortunately, even if the Red Dragon is a little weaker, they will not be able to compete against it with their strength. I straddled Bahamut, flew through the air and went straight to Fana and Anje.
“Master”
“As you can see, we’re at our limits.”
“It’s okay. I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Mmm. I’ll leave it to you.”
“I entrust it to you.”
Replacing the two of them, I approached the Red Dragon, whose remnants of its breath were still leaking from the corners of its mouth.
“Hello, I’m your opponent from here on out.”
“Gruaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!”
The red dragon opens its huge mouth and tries to swallow me. I pointed the tip of Bahamut into its mouth.
“Explosion”
Immediately after, the small lump of magical power that was released disappeared into the back of its throat.
Zudoooong!
“~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”
A terrific explosion erupts inside the Red Dragon’s body. The huge body swelled to about 1.5 times in an instant, and its eyeballs flew out of their sockets with the blast. Smoke emanates from its entire body, and the huge body falls to the ground with a loud thud.
If the scales are hard, you can knock it down from the inside. That’s why I tried to activate the explosion magic inside its body.
