I was blown away and landed on a tree trunk.
“Hmmm… I guess that was not enough to defeat it huh.”
Although the magic power was slightly reduced in sword mode compared to staff mode, the Fenrir didn’t seem to have taken much damage.
『As expected of a mythical monster. ……Are you alright, Master?』
(No problem. More than that, here it comes.)
“Guruaaaa”
It seemed to be hurt a little, the enraged Fenrir leapt at me at breakneck speed. It swing its front leg and I hurriedly dodged it. The huge tree behind me was easily torn apart by its sharp claws. If I were to be hit head-on by those claws, my baby body would not stand a chance.
Making use of my small body, I dived under Fenrir’s belly. Then I slashed it with Lindwurm. However, due to the cushioning of the thick layer of fur and the hard skin, it is difficult for the blade to pass through. Looks like there is no choice but for me to attack the exposed areas of the skin and soft places like before. I continued on my way towards its rear, but its huge tail came charging at me, bending like a whip.
“Uh!”
The tail, which was as thick as a small tree trunk, punched me back to the bottom of Fenrir’s jaw. The Fenrir opened its mouth, but instead of biting me to death, it roared.
“Aaooooouuu!”
“~~!?”
What was released was a tremendous shockwave of the terrific roar. It was so powerful that it instantly created a crater in the ground as it rained down from above. If it had been an average human, they would have been pressed vertically and crushed to death.
I quickly put up a barrier to block it.
“Here’s my payback.”
Holding up Lindwurm, which transformed back into staff mode, I unleashed an all-out lightning strike at the Fenrir’s still-open mouth.
“~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”
The hair on Fenrir’s whole body stood on end in an instant.
I was hoping that the barrier would paralyze it and slow down its movements a bit, but it wasn’t that simple.
“Aaaaaoooooooooooooo!!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, it unleashed another roaring shock wave.
“I’m just going to prevent it with a barrier again—”
『Master!』
“……Seriously?”
The fenrir’s claws approached from the side. This causes a crack in my barrier, and so the shockwave crushed the barrier.
“Guh……”
A tremendous amount of pressure was applied to my small body, and my feet was sinking into the ground. I hurriedly increased the multiplier of my body enhancement. Considering this weak body, I kept it to the last minute, but apparently, I couldn’t leave that much spare power against this mythical monster.
Narrowly escaping the shockwave, I then made Lindwurm switch to sword mode and slashes at Fenrir relentlessly in the face. After all, the face seems to be the place with the lowest defense.
Of course, the Fenrir is not so easy to beat. It responds with its fangs and claws on its front legs, as well as a shockwave roar.
“Haa haaa…… I think I’ve reached my limit.”
I’m gradually getting out of breath. On the other hand, compared to the beginning, the fenrir that should have taken damage from my attacks, doesn’t seem to be slowing down. In fact, it is becoming more and more ferocious with anger.
It’s incredibly tough. Or rather, the strength of the body is far too different to begin with.
『Are you alright, Master? At this rate, we’re losing this battle.』
(Oh, my naive Linlin, did you really think that I’m just blindly fighting?)
『……』
And that’s when it happened. Suddenly, the Fenrir’s movements stopped.
“Chi!?”
Suddenly unable to move, the Fenrir panics. Before the Fenrir knew it, a jet-black chain completely covered its huge body.
『Could this be……』
“It’s a restraint magic, the shadow chain. I was secretly entwining it all over its body while fighting you see.”
