Volume 5 - CH 55

Act 5-55: Perfect Victory

『GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!』

Several dozen mels tall azure dragons raised a roar, trampling over various binding formations which were placed as traps to make him lower his vigilance.

The moment that azure dragon arrived before us, he had already entered into the affected area of my trump card.

「START!」

From the very beginning, the other binding formations were dummy to hide the existence of my trump card. At this distance, this guy wouldn’t be able to escape.

Numerous red snakes came out from the binding type magic tools placed in the vicinity, coiling around the azure dragon and the villainous looking blue haired youth on its back.

「Chains? How foolish!」

The blue haired youth tore off the red snakes. But, each red snake split into countless others, and slithered to bind his entire body.

「Uhm?」

Finally, the youth started to lose his cool, he used both his hands to tear off the snakes, only to end up with much more snakes than before.

It was this magic tool――【Flame Snake of Gluttony】’s forte. It restricts movement of the target and increases their number infinitely by consuming the magical power of the target. And then――

「Cocky maggots, don’t underestimate me! We are the legendary king of dragons, THE DRAGON KING!

The binding art from inferior creature like you won’t be able to stop this Cetus!」

And, red snakes’ size expanded rapidly, as if dying the world in red color.

BOOM

After a short pause, every single one of them exploded, creating a local storm in the vicinity.

After the storm had passed, and cloud of dust had settled, The first thing in my sight was a hemispherical crater covering the entire bottomless marshland.

「A-Awesome…」

Chato muttered,

『Such huge dragon, blown up to dust.』

Bhu nodded in agreement as he stated his impression.

「But, only the dragon that blew up. Its’ real body is safe and sound.」

It appears that guy is already on death’s door but…」

The limbs of that villainous looking blue haired youth had already gone from the base, I could also catch a glimpse of his internal organs, more than half of his face melted.

Nevertheless――

「No, that’s doesn’t seems to be the case.」

Judging from the loss of the limbs, half melted face and abdomen, and countless blue threads healing his wounds and restoring lost parts of his body at an seemingly blinding pace.

Just as I expected from the Dragon King. I had long since predicted this outcome. Now we’re racing against time.

「UNFORGIVABLE! YOU DAMN MAGGOT! YOU DISRESPECT THIS King!! WON’T BE FORGIVEN WITH SIMPLE DEATH! I――」

I ignored the nonsense rambling of Cetus glaring at me with bloodshot eyes; and drew image of the black haired youth, the strongest existence I had come to know, with  『Imitation』. Just like before, I felt a lump in my chest. Simultaneously, I felt my bones and muscles creak as they transformed into the strongest.

「――――」

I kicked off, jumping towards the rambling guy. In the blink of an eye, I closed the distance; the youth, floating in the air, pulled back his right arm charging.

「Eh?」

My dominant fist nailed right into his right cheek as he raised a dumbfounded voice.

Cetus’ body was nailed right into the scorching red crater accompanied by a cracking sound. Amidst the cloud of dust created from the impact of his fall, I landed right by his side.

「M-M――」

I ignored his rambling, grabbed him by the head, kicked him into the air, and jumped after.

In a flash, my body flew straight until it pierced the clouds, arriving right behind him, and delivered a roundhouse kick.

「GABA!」

He fell again, and crash-landed head-first on the ground. Cetus’ body twitching non stop inside the crater made from his fall, I unsheathed the enchanted sword hanging on my waist, (the one received Ruu-san’s stamp of approval) and loaded my mana into it. The overflowing flame from the sword’s blade formed a bird. And I brandished that sword toward Cetus with resolve.

『HIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!』

Cetus raised loud death throes, and after confirming his entire body was annihilated, an extreme sense of fatigue assailed my body amidst the sense of relief.
