Volume 5 - CH 54

Act 5-54: The Thought of The Worst Lowlife

We invoked the binding spell to make the guy who entered the bottomless marsh notice our presence.

Nevertheless, this was a mere bluff with no actual binding power. It’s just for the sake of stopping the dragon’s limb for a while. The real one was a large scale, three dimensional, flame type binding art. This art was something that I found by accident when I was experimenting with my strange mimicry power with Ruu-san’s assistance.

To be exact, I closed my eyes and imagined the figure of four most skilled mage in my memories.

The first one was the figure of an obstinate old man with navy blue robe.

The second one was the black haired, cheeky-looking youth.

The third one was a beauty with jet-black, long and glossy hair.

The fourth one was a tall youth with long blue hair tied behind.

When I tried to mimic them, I got a flash of inspiration and made this extremely vicious, binding type magic tool. And the crux of our tactic was using this magic tool for large scale siege and annihilation tactics.

Currently, Chigi, Chato, and I were on standby, waiting for that dragon to step into the determined area before invoking the magic tool.

「Is that guy really going to take the bait?」

Chigi who sat beside me gulped before asking such a question as he looked at the approaching azure dragon.

「If Cetus is really the kind of dragon race that you and the others say, then he might take the bait.」

Cetus was the patriarch of dragons who had already ruled this North Grand for a long time. Due to his over-bloated pride and arrogance as a dragon, he would definitely walk right into the trap even after he knew it was a trap. It came from the confidence that weak creature like us would never come up with something that could bind him. Or maybe, his pride wouldn’t allow him to avoid the trap prepared by the one he regarded as lowly monster. Unknown to him that it was the very same pride that would kill him.

『He will step into the trap for sure! It’s already knowledge about that Cetus bas*tard among us! Even his fellow dragon is nothing more than disposable pawn for him!』

Bhu, who sat by my right, spat out.

「But man, he’s so huge, right? Will Gil’s trump card even work on him?」

「Chato, his size might be intimidating but he’s nothing more than an oversized lizard. It isn’t even our main problem.」

Maybe because I saw the battle between Ruu-san and that black aberration. When I compared that dragon with Ruu-san or that black aberration, it really felt like an oversized lizard for me. Not to mention that this magic tool of mine was something that received a stamp of approval by Ruu-san. There was no way it couldn’t bind a mere oversized lizard.

「Oversized lizard, eh? That guy is Cetus, the ruler of North Grand you know?」

Chato asked, completely dumbfounded,

「I’ve never said that Cetus is weak. His real body is most likely the humanoid on that dragon’s back.」

I explained to him what I really meant.

As a matter of fact, I didn’t feel any threat from that oversized lizard. Rather, the humanoid figure leaning on his chair on top of that dragon released regal air befitting the ruler. I’m almost convinced that the humanoid figure was the real Cetus himself.

『Humanoid figure on the back?』

Bhu squinted his eyes as he asked me.

「You’re right! That bas*tard!」

Chato cursed loudly, Chigi also nodded,

「Indeed. But, even us, the sheep cat can barely see his figure… Gil, you really have one hell of a pair of eyes.」

They had yet to notice that something was amiss because of the distance between us and Cetus. And yet, the current me could actually see his figure so clearly at such a distance. Did I really have such good eyes?

『He’s coming!』

My derailed train of thought snapped back to reality along with Cyclon’s scream.

That azure dragon heading toward us while reverberating a tremor with every single one of his steps.

Indeed. The action of those with uselessly high pride was easy to predict. I mean, it felt like something I was really familiar with. This might have something to do with my dream about the worst of the worst lowlife. Thanks to that lowlife, the seemingly unattainable victory was not impossible anymore as everything went according to our tactic. Now it’s time to send this guy to Hades.

（The reason for your defeat is your own pride!）

I loaded my magical power into the magic tool as I sneered at Cetus.
