“.….I can defeat it? But… just now, Master’s blow with all his might didn’t work you see……”
Karen was confused by my words.
“You came back because you thought you surpassed your teacher, didn’t you?”
“Well, that’s what I thought…… But that monster was completely more than I expected……”
“You don’t have to think about anything superfluous. Look, it’s coming.”
“Oaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
“Kuu! Then, I’ll take your words and believe you!”
Karen hurriedly raised her sword. Then, alone, she confronts the raging dragon.
“Can she really defeat it?”
“Of course, it’ll be difficult in her current state.”
I answered Fana’s question clearly.
“Then what do you mean before?”
“It means that she needs to increase the multiplier of her body strengthening even more.”
The dragon moved its huge body and tried to swallow Karen whole. Karen narrowly dodged it, and she slashed back at the dragon’s cheek. However, there was only a slight scratch on its hard scales.
I guess the blade did not even reach the flesh.
“It’s futile after all…. It was only with that single blow where Master even risked his life that he was finally able to break through these scales!?”
Karen let out a shriek-like cry when she felt no damage when she made her slash.
“Shouldn’t we join in?”
“Calm down, Anje-oneechan, don’t panic, don’t panic.”
During our conversation, Karen managed to dodge the dragon’s next attack and fights back, but her sword slash still doesn’t penetrate its tough scales. But while she was slow to dodge in front of the dragon’s massive body at first, she now gradually became more relaxed.
“She has gotten faster?”
“Yes, but that’s not all. Look at the dragon scales she just slashed.”
“The wound is deeper than it was at the beginning!”
“That means her attacking power is increasing too. In other words, her physical strengthening is increasing.”
I explained to my disciples who look at me wondering what the hell is going on.
“Normally, if you want to increase the effect of body strengthening magic, you have to train consciously.”
Fana and Anje also learned it through training after the treatment of the magic circuit.
In order to be able to swing a sword or activate other magic while using body strengthening magic, one must be at a level where he or she can maintain body strengthening magic without thinking. However, this is surprisingly difficult to do.
“But in the case of Samurai-oneechan, it’s something that she did unconsciously, so she doesn’t have to do anything special. If she continues to do that, it will naturally strengthen her body to the limit.”
In other words, as Karen fights the dragon, the performance of her body strengthening magic is gradually increasing and so does her strength.
“Yagyu Shinnen-ryu, Annihilation!”
Karen leaped over the dragon’s head and slashed at its scales again and again as she spun at high speed.
“Oaaaaaaaaa!”
““It worked!?””
Finally, her attack seemed to work, and the dragon let out a painful roar. The scales were destroyed from the top of its head to its back, and blood was streaming down its massive body.
“I-I can do it! For some reason, my body is feeling lighter and lighter, and my attacks are getting stronger!”
She seems to have felt the response and is screaming excitedly.
From there, a terrifying one-on-one battle between the dragon and the samurai unfolded. Even though Karen’s attacks are now working, the dragon’s huge body naturally has extraordinary durability.
On the other hand, Karen was able to avoid the dragon’s attack with ease. However, if she was bitten by that fang, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Still, she didn’t lose her concentration and continued to inflict damage on the dragon.
And—
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
With a desperate roar, the dragon finally ran out of strength and fell to the ground.
“I-, I did it……!! Master…… I avenged my Master!”
Karen rejoices.
“Yes, well done, Samurai-oneechan. Now, leave the rest to us.”
“……Huh?”
