Anje, who had moved to the left of the eight-headed dragon, was also facing off against two of its heads. She stood her ground, confronting the heads that sprang toward her without taking any evasive action.
“Haa!”
Anje swung her leg with all her might, kicking the dragon under its chin. At the same time, a pile of soil erupted from the ground with tremendous force, striking almost the same spot. The dragon’s head jerked violently as it received the simultaneous kick and magic attack.
“All three of you easily damaged the dragon I struggled so much with… Just three people—well, with a wolf monster in the mix…”
“Uh-, um.”
“Master!?”
The old man woke up.
“…..Karen? I’m alive? What happened to the dragon…? Eh!? It multiplieeed!?”
He was so shocked to see that the number of heads was clearly greater than before he lost consciousness.
“Uhm, Master, what you fought was just one of the eight heads of a huge dragon.”
“Whaaat!? C-could it really be the Yamata no Orochi?!”
“Yamata no Orochi…?”
“It’s a mythical eight-headed dragon! A monster said to have been defeated by the ancient hero Susanoo-no-Mikoto long before the founding of the country of Edo! I’ve heard that the country of Yamato, which supposedly existed back then, was destroyed by this single monster… I can’t let this continue! I must tell the shogunate right away— O-ouch, it hurts!”
The old man hurriedly tried to get up but collapsed again due to severe pain.
“C-calm down, Master. As you can see, they’re already fighting it.”
“Huh? …..W-what’s going on with those guys!?”
While Karen and the old man were arguing, the battle with the eight-headed dragon continued. As I soared through the sky, I looked down at the scene below.
“Alright then. I’ll take you out one by one. Fiery Meteor!”
A huge rock, burning like a meteorite, appeared and crashed into one of the dragon’s necks at breakneck speed.
BOOOOOOOON!
There was a thunderous roar as the dragon’s head was crushed under the massive boulder. A large crater formed in the ground, and the red-hot black debris inside was made of trees that had been caught in the blast and instantly charred.
『As expected of my Master. You finished it off in one blow. Okay, I can’t lose either.』
While admiring me, Lill bit into one of the dragon’s necks. The neck, already punctured several times and is already in tatters, finally gave in. Unable to withstand the Fenris’ powerful bite force, it was torn off with the sound of bones shattering.
“Next up is you! Blast-Thrusting Flash Spear!”
BAAAAAAN!
A lightning strike pierced through the dragon’s entire neck. The light vanished from its eyes, and it collapsed, smoke billowing from the gaps in its scales.
“Mm, Master and Lill are amazing. I can’t lose!”
A fierce wind enveloped Fana’s body. She turned into a gust of wind and slashed with all her might at the neck of the dragon she is facing.
Slaaash!
Fresh blood spurted from the dragon’s neck as its scales were completely sliced apart. Fana kept going, flashing and chasing it. As gusts of wind battered the dragon from all sides, blood continued to gush from its wounds.
Finally, it lost strength and crashed into the ground.
“Infinite Freezing!”
Piki Piki Piki!!
My magic completely froze another neck solid.
“Linlin, Warhammer Mode.”
『Understood.』
“Alright, se-no!”
I slammed Lindwurm—now in warhammer form—into the frozen neck. The ice cracked instantly, the break widening until the entire neck shattered into pieces.
“I can’t lose either! Haaaaaaaaa!”
Full of fighting spirit, Anje charged at another neck. Her fists—each one powerful enough to split the earth—pounded the dragon’s neck over and over.
ZUDODOOOON!
Scales and bones shattered under her relentless assault, and the dragon’s head dropped to the ground.
It still tried to move, but Anje approached and delivered the final blow.
Including the one Karen had killed, we had now destroyed seven heads.
Only one remained.
“Hoh~ Running away, huh?”
The giant body desperately tried to move away from us. Apparently, it realized it couldn’t win and decided to flee.
