Tatsumi drew the tail of the golden light while approaching the flying dragon at a furious speed. The sharp tip of the sword, which he thrusted forward, captured the body of the flying dragon. However, the flying dragon’s maneuverability was not good enough as he tried to judge Tatsumi’s attack by slipping his huge body sideways. Unfortunately for the dragon, Tatsumi’s flying speed surpa.s.sed it. Tatsumi’s sword cut the side of the dragon’s body which made the dragon slide sideways in order to avoid it. He ended up cutting a thin and small leg, combining three legs on one side.
The slender legs of the sword-swallowing black dragon fell down to the ground, scattering white bodily fluids all around. The newly wounded dragon emitted a jarring strange sound. It was definitely a roar of pain.
Tatsumi, who slashed the dragon’s leg, continued to fly with killing speed even after crossing, and drew a large arc in the open sky. Pointing to the dragon as the destination of the sword.
By this time the flying dragon had already turned its head toward Tatsumi. The flame of anger has flared up even more violently because it has been injured in the sky of its own territory.
The dragon flew at high speed towards Tatsumi, clanking with his sharp fangs. Tatsumi also soared into the sky. Both of them met in the sky yet again. The moment the Knights and soldiers of the Kingdom who were looking out from the top of the Wall thought Tatsumi would eliminate the flying dragon, it slipped sideways. While the flying dragon tried its best to avoid the sword, the head was still directed towards Tatsumi. The flying dragon was flaming from point-blank range. The dragon spat out the Crimson flame and it spread out greatly in the air, and it swallowed Tatsumi’s body. “I’m not sure whether this is a good idea or not, I’m not sure whether this is a good idea or not.”, was what Tatsumi thought while escaping from the encirclement of fire, breaking one of the four wings of a flying dragon.
A piece of transparent wings from the dragon pours down to the ground. Tatsumi’s body, which continued to fly through it, disappeared into the glittering pieces that reflect the sunlight.
In The next moment, Tatsumi swiftly slid down beneath the flying dragon’s body. At a speed that remained the same. Tatsumi is now at an advantage as he is faster than the dragon. The dragon’s speed is limited due to the loss of his wings. However, when it comes to the ability to turn in the air, the dragon still has an advantage. So Tatsumi stopped turning in the air and decided to just fly straight.
Tatsumi had the ability to transition. Using the transitioning ability, Tatsumi could change the direction of travel freely while moving in a straight line. Tatsumi kept repeating, “instant transition”, while flying straight toward the flying dragon.
Even though the mobility of the flying dragon was as high as a foul, it appeared at close range, it was completely impossible to avoid Tatsumi’s attack as he was flying at high speed.
Finally a hard sound echoed all over the city. Finally, the decisive sound of destruction was heard. After the intense battle between Tatsumi and the dragon. Or so everybody thought.
However the sound was not heard from the body of the flying dragon, but from Tatsumi’s hand. “……Huhhh?”, while flying, a sloppy sound spilled from Tatsumi’s mouth. The same moment the blade of his sword rotated and fell to the ground.
The sound of destruction heard earlier was not the sound of the flying dragon meeting death, but the sound of Tatsumi’s sword reaching its limit.
Tatsumi’s sword was something that Calcedonia gave to him. Although it was definitely sharp, it was by no means a devil-sealing type. Just as any famous sword would eventually break if it was struck repeatedly against a dragon’s exoskeleton, Tatsumi’s sword made contact many times with a hard object, which was the flying dragon, and as a result, it exceeded its durability.
During the fight between Tatsumi and the dragon, there has been countless injuries on the surface of the Dragon’s body. Out of the four wings the dragon had, some of them were chipped, and it was missing three legs on one side.
However, it is still not qualified to be called a mortal wound.
But the blade Tatsumi was using broke. How will he kill the flying dragon? Should I go to Calcedonia to get a replacement? Such an idea crossed over Tatsumi’s mind. However, if Tatsumi leaves the city, the flying Dragon will attack the soldiers atop the wall. No, it might even fly over the wall to attack the city.
While Tatsumi and the *Hiraya were battling in the air, they reached a considerable height which caused Tatsumi to feel a bit of stress.
Tatsumi decides to abandon the sword, and draws out a dagger, which he kept as a spare weapon. However, even the sword used was small compared to the giant flying dragon. So how he was going to face the dragon with a mere dagger was the dilemma.
Chasing after the dragon, Tatsumi was well aware of the sweat running down his forehead.
When she saw what fell from the sky, Calcedonia’s composed face turned pale, “… This is….husband’s.. s.s..sword”
The blade of the broken sword rolled down the ground with a dry sound. Everyone in the vicinity saw it, and their expressions became similar to Calcedonia’s.
Meanwhile In the sky, there was a dogfight going on between Tatsumi and the flying dragon.
The battlefield in which Tatsumi and the dragon were fighting was at a far height. It was so high up that even Jadokh’s bow and Lyurn’s Strength, could not reach it.
“Tatsumi-Chan!!! This is beyond us. We can do nothing at this point.”, Jadokh said as he distorted his face regretfully. He bit down on his lips with so much force that blood started dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Jadokh was not the only one with such thoughts. Miloulle, Eru and Morganeich thought so as well. Taulorde and Bugarank also looked up at Tatsumi and the dragon flying in the sky quietly with a look of regret. Calcedonia, with worry in her ruby eyes, searched the blue skies for any sign of Tatsumi.
It was clearly not only the Knights and soldiers who were gathered on the walls.
The flying dragon is said to be – the king of the sky. Now the Dragon and the humans were fighting each other. What’s more, the dragon is overwhelmingly advantageous because he is in the sky.
It is no exaggeration to say that the unprecedented battle between humans and dragons was watched by all the people in the capital. In the royal castle, the four temples, the area where the aristocrats live, downtown where the general public lives, from the terrace or veranda, from the windows of people’s houses and from the streets. The people were silent, looking up at the battle that unfolded in the firmament.
Tatsumi, who lost his weapon, was just whiling away time. He had a thought for a second, “If I leave this place and escape at full speed there is a higher chance of survival”. However, Tatsumi disregarded the thought as quickly as it came.
Tatsumi kept a safe distance from the flying dragon while drawing a large arc. Adding small transitions at times and continuously flying. Tatsumi was already in complete control of this new magic, flying.
Today’s Tatsumi is able to move around more freely in three dimensions than in water.
The flying dragon could not catch up with Tatsumi, and spat flames at him many times in a gallant way, but with Tatsumi’s ‘moment transition’ he was able to duge the flame gently and lightly.
While waltzing in the sky, Tatsumi continued to think of a way to counterattack somehow.
Tatsumi glanced at the flying dragon and looks at his right hand. which has several layers of thin strands of Vermilion gold. A weapon that was once used by the great Mage. The weapon, given the disproportionate name ‘Amaryllis’ lays silently on Tatsumi’s arm.
Is it a good idea to pour magic into this gauntlet and strike the Dragon directly? As magic strike can be used without a sword.
Amaryllis is a gauntlet in the form of a fist on Tatsumi’s right arm, extending all the way to the back of his hand, and his elbow. If you were to have this Gauntlet equipped with a special metal dagger, it may be more effective than a small dagger. When Tatsumi thought of it this way, he concentrated the magic power towards his right hand.
It was as if it was responding to Tatsumi’s magical power, actually there was no doubt it was responding to Tatsumi’s magical power.
“………… Amaryllis”? In response to its name being murmured, the chain that was wrapped around Tatsumi’s right hand instantly responded. It was as if the buds were blossoming.
The chains float as they slowly wrapped around Tatsumi’s hand, while harboring a golden light of the magic power that Tatsumi poured.
Suddenly, information on Amaryllis flowed into Tatsumi’s mind. “…And why haven’t you awakened me completely? Do You not have enough magic?”
When Tatsumi first awakened Amaryllis, the winding chain naturally reacted to the Magic used during the transition.
However, in order to fully awaken the legacy of the great Mages, the power of magic Tatsumi had used was insufficient Therefore, the only information that flowed into Tatsumi was the inscription of this heritage. If Tatsumi had poured a little more magical energy into Amaryllis, it might have been awakened completely.
Finally Tatsumi poures a large amount of magical energy into Amaryllis in order for it to activate.
“I see …it’s a fuse, isn’t it?”, thought Tatsumi, based on close inspection of the Amaryllis. Based on that, Tatsumi finally understood perfectly how to use this pretty weapon.
Tatsumi slowly reduced the speed of his flight as It was no longer necessary for him to fly around at high speed. Especially now that he has a strong partner called Amaryllis.
“All right, let’s go, Amaryllis. This is our first match together.“ said Tatsumi, who completely reduced his speed to zero. While firmly looking at the flying dragon.
The golden chain, which slowly wrapped itself around him, directed its weight towards its tip ready to pounce on the flying dragon in accordance with Tatsumi’s will.
The Dragon flew straight towards Tatsumi with the belive that Tatsumi was dead.
With a giant dragon looming toward him, Tatsumi didn’t try to escape nor did he try to avoid it.
There’s only one thing he did. He lifted his right hand towards the dragon flying towards him.
By pouring magic into the golden chain, it moves according to Tatsumi’s will, just like a limb would. The golden chain that follows the will of its owner spiked in the air, ready to eliminate the enemy.
The tip of the chain appeared from under the belly of the flying dragon, and penetrated through the outer sh.e.l.l of the dragon.
It is impossible to have the same outcome with Tatsumi’s, ‘instant transition’, but that was clearly not the case with Amaryllis.
However, this was not the end!
Tatsumi drifted the magic power further planing to explode the power in the body of the Hiraya*.
The hard sh.e.l.l of the dragon had the strength to withstand even Tatsumi’s magic attack. However, an explosion of magic directly into the insides of the body, was something completely different.
A painful roar echoes from the mouth of the dragon yet again.
It looked like a regular thin golden chain extending from Tatsumi’s right hand. In fact, the length was only about 7-8 meters long. But with it being combined with the ‘instant transition’, it became a fearsome arrowhead boasting infinite range.
Also, the chain was made of Vermillion gold, aiding the flow of the magical power.
The golden chain, once released from Tatsumi’s hands will be a fuse that will extend far beyond s.p.a.ce, and it will surely destroy the target at Tatsumi’s will.
※Due to some circ.u.mstances, I changed the shape of the “Amaryllis” (laughs).
