246 9-26 Sand Country Roukaku Fully open

Well, I'm not sure what to make of this.

"Master. You mustn't ever leave, okay?

I know........... This is mincemeat in seconds.........

I wouldn't be foolish enough to jump out in front of a fierce battle happening right in front of me.

However, it's true that I'm seething at the fact that I can't do anything about it.

........It's an offensive.

Nevertheless, if you're not careful, you'll be met with a blow to smash it like a giant iron ball crane by a rare Gaia's tail.

The tail and jaws are so large that even the wind pressure alone will blow them away, so you have to move a lot to avoid them, and you have to be tense at all times to deal with them.

Furthermore, the dust, which may be magic, is dancing as if it has a will, and it is attacking Renge and his friends as if it were rejecting anyone who comes near.

On top of that, the attacks of Renge and the others hardly seem to be working....

If you use the invisible jail to prevent their attacks, or if you try to help them move, you'll disrupt their rhythm and put them in danger.

.........or rather, that tail wouldn't be prevented in the invisible prison, no matter how many layers you put on top of each other.

''It looks like it's going to be difficult, even for that kitty. ........If you continue like this, you'll run out of energy and eventually hit it, right?

I know...

Cassandra is right, Rare Gaia remains as comfortable as ever, perhaps because she knows her attacks aren't working.

On the other hand, Renge and the others are beginning to breathe on their shoulders and their strength is in a state of intense exhaustion.......

''Aaah!　Crystal Blitz!

I unleash a magic many times larger than Renge showed me that night, but it shatters from the point where it hits Rare Gaia.

Then, a tail strike is delivered to the frustrated Renge, who has a frustrated look on her face, from the side.

''Move, Renge!　Burn it off!

Aina pushes Renge, whose tail was closing in on her, and aligns the red-flamed sword with her tail.

However, there was too much difference in mass and she was blown away lightly.

''Kah, ah........''

Aina!　Are you okay?!

He ran to Aina, who was blown away, and stood up, using his sword as a staff.

Her eyes glittered with a gleam in them, as if there was still a hot fire in them.

''What, I'm still fine...''

Oh, well I'm sorry.

'What do you have to apologize for?　My lord has done more than enough, hasn't he?　........But it's still going to be tough at this rate......We'll have to increase our firepower......

When he said that, Aina's hair flickered for a moment like a shimmering flame.

Then, like a red-yellow flame, Aina's surroundings felt as if they were getting hotter and hotter.

''........Come to think of it, this is the first time I've performed in front of my lord......''

Is that what Aina really wants to do...?

...Oh. The power that resides in my half of my body. A power that is abhorred in the kingdom, but....

Well that's the way the Fire People...

Aina's hair flutters as it burns and shimmers like heat.

But the sweat running from her forehead ... and a slightly worried expression on her face.

.........It's probably a power she doesn't want to use.

I remember how languid he was when the flame race was mentioned in Yashis' shop.

So..........

''It's a flame for Aina after all. It looks awesome on you.

I send the same words to Aina as I did that day.

Really, Aina looks good in red, you know.

'Oh, well it looks good on you...'

Yeah. You look great.

'Mmm I'd rather be considered pretty than cool to my lord, but...'

'Hahaha. That's the cute part, though.

I hug Aina tightly.

I felt a little hot, but I didn't mind at all right now.

''Please ... Hang in there a little longer. Also, don't ever die.

Yeah. Of course. My Lord. Thank you.

'Yikes!　Huh?

As Solte is rubbing her buttocks from being blown up close and hitting her, she notices us hugging each other and moves closer to us.

But when he saw Aina's hair color, his face changed color and he stopped walking as if he was surprised.

'Aina are you sure?'

Yeah. I'm trying to protect my master. We have to get out of this mess. I will do whatever it takes.

I see..... If we don't defeat that guy here, it's all over.

What?　Why did you just start taking off your clothes all of a sudden!

You're a fool!　You don't know who's out there watching you!

Oh, you're the type to take it off when you're serious!

Oh, you had to keep your hands off my underwear!

For now, Kuduro-san's eyes are crushed, oh, Coren-sama is crushing them first.

''My power, if I don't do this, my clothes will be torn off. Hey my Lord. Please be sure to pay attention to me, okay?

Huh?　Naked....?

Before I can finish, Sorte's body begins to glow with a dazzling light.

And out of the light crawls a fluffy paw, and even a fluffy hind leg, with a body that is unmistakably fluffy heaven, a large mouth with sharp fangs showing, and a big, piercing eye.

He has a big mouth with sharp fangs and crisp, clear eyes, as well as dignified ears and a huge 120% fluffy tail.

When I could clearly see his full appearance, his figure was a silver wolf.

".........my lord.......

Fluffy!

Oh, my God!　He's transformed!

Is that it?　Lycanthrope?　Was it a werewolf?

I don't care which one, but this guy is awesome!

He's big and beautiful and fluffy!

It's about a size smaller than the Earth Dragon brothers, but it looks like it could be ridden by two people.

I didn't think that even Solte had a back hand.....

''That's not fair, Solte!　Why didn't you tell me about this wonderful power!

Had I known, I would have had the wonderful fluffy heaven of a full-body nap!

I mean, it's going to be worth the brushing!

Don't be tempted to spend an entire day cleaning up every inch of it!

Aren't you afraid?

'What?　Why?　Sorte, right?

That would be scary if it was a wild demon, but it's a sorte.

Well, I guess I'll have to change my perception of him as a dog from now on.

Yeah. This is a fine fluffy wolf.

I see....of course. Our Lord is that kind of person. Aaaaah. I feel like an idiot for worrying about it....

Yeah. That's the kind of man my lord is. A man who loves us, even our abominable powers.

''Hmm. That alone is enough to make me feel so contented. You're such a sly person. Our darling.

It must be....

Hmm?　Hmm?

It seems like the story is going on between the two of us and it's moving toward completion on its own.

Huh?　My story ... right?

It's nothing you don't want to do right now.

I thought it was okay to huff and puff, even though he put his face close to mine and rubbed our cheeks together, but it was no good....

Well, if you're cool with it, you should think about the situation.

That's why I quietly limited myself to hugging Sorte's head........

''Hey!　Why are you making out with her now?　I'll wait until after everything is done!

Because.... Okay, Aina. Let's go.

Yeah. But this is still a tough one. Don't pass up.

I know. It's best to live. Live and let's live to the end.

Yeah. The goal is to defeat it, but above all, it's meaningless if everyone doesn't get out of this alive.

That's why we're at a point where we're on the offensive, but we're still struggling to get offense....

Hmmm........yah!

Having successfully dived through the dust to reach in front of him, White quickly aimed at Rare Gaia's eyes.

And faster than you can blink, he thrust the knife in front of his eyes.

Even your eyes are hard, huh?

Mother is not a weak link. And just so you know, don't think about getting it in your mouth and into your body. It'll grind you to a pulp before you can do anything.

I guess.........

So that means we really have to do something about those scales to talk about it........

And the current situation is that Aina and Sorte are struggling even though they have released their power........

Aina increases her firepower, concentrating on a single point, trying desperately to somehow make a hole in the ground, but the dust concentrates and gets in the way.

........Once again, that's a tough one.

You knew all along, didn't you?　What do we do?　Do you want to run away now?

....

For a moment, I thought about running away with them all.

But I quickly shook it off.

''I told you.　He said there's one thing I can't give up.

"...and you think we're going to get through this without anyone dying?　It's a beautiful thing. You can be idealistic all you want, but sometimes the decisions you make can cost you lives that could be saved, right?

....

Yeah.

Cassandra is right.

It's too good to be true.

But what we're doing is selfish.

Koren wants to help his country, his people. Koren wants to help his country and his people. I want to help Renge. You all want to help me.

It is as simple as that.

You can take care of yourself if you're alive and I want to, too, but there are times in life when you have to do something about it, no matter what.

Whether it's beautiful or idealistic, we're all desperate to make sure that we don't regret it and that our happiness doesn't leave us.

Because if we give up any of our selfishness, someone's future happiness will be gone.

........but the real problem is the desperate situation.

What to do.........what to do.......

But you don't give up, do you? The truth is, race is a difficult thing to understand...

...Yes. You, a ground dragon, can't possibly understand what we in the woodpile are going through, can you?

With a pop, I turned toward the voice and saw Mr. Kuduro waddling up to me.

You're the right one, though. It's a young man's dream to sacrifice nothing against an overwhelmingly superior opponent. But unless young people talk about their ideals, a bright future will not bloom.

...Mr. Kuduro?

Mentor?

"...it is the work of old men to make good soil for their young shoots. Life is too short to live. What more could it take to make a flower bloom in death?

...wait a minute.

What's going on here, old man?

I have a bad feeling.

I have a very bad feeling, as if all the pores in my body are opening up.......

"What are you doing, old man........

'Mr. Koren. I will take my leave. Please may you live your life to the fullest, and may you live your life to the fullest.

"Wait a minute!　Hey!

Kuduro-san smiled gently at me, and without listening to my restraint, he let out a cloud of dust and ran up his body, fleshing out into Rare Gaia in a flash.

You have good instincts.

That's right on the nose but I don't think we can stop him now.

Now, my blood is boiling and my flesh is dancing!

This is the battle of a lifetime!

"Earth Dragon Rare Gaia you are ironclad.

Focus all your attention.

You have one chance.

We must seize it, or we'll be wary of it, and it will never come again.

But nothing crushes the fist of a crushed meatball!　My exhortation, receive the will of the human race for the last one that is not part of the 299 profoundest secrets........ Forbidden....

"Yaguna!

Crushing Meatball Fist is a prerequisite for being a palm.

There is not one foot technique, and it is an evil one.

........but it is a rule of the license to attach the meatball to the foot as well at the end......so if you use it, it is the final blow of excommunication.

The power of 299 knuckle knuckles in a single blow, even three times as powerful.

I'll bet my entire life on this strike!

'A blow to my soul!　Nothing is broken.　Nothing!

The hard scales of Rare Gaia touch the paw pads on my feet.

You can tell just by touching it how powerful this creature is, and how absolutely powerful it is.

This is hard. If it was equipped with these hard scales in a dense manner, it would be no wonder that it had the luxury of a strong man.

However, once it peels off a single scale, that's where its weakness lies!

'Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I put more strength and faith into my legs.

It will break my balls, and you can have my years of study.

Crush it. They're cracking! They've got to crush!

If you don't have a weakness, then make one!

Then you will be a ray of light to the youth of the future....

Hence!　Crush!

'Ahhhhhh!!!'

--Goggins!

A dry rumbling sound.

Is it the sound of my leg breaking, or...no...it's made.

The feeling of soft earth dragon flesh that I feel slightly faded away at the end of the day, and my entire body's senses faded away.

''Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A heartbreaking Rare Gaia cry resounds.

Ho-ho-ho. It will be the first pain in a long time.

I can't even put a finger of strength into it anymore.

It's only natural since it was a full-bodied, full-throated blow.

The rare Gaia glaring at me can see that it is trying to crush me with its tail wagging.

Hoho. Even if you resent me, it's already too late.

The buds for the future are ready.

I've asked you to do the rest........

I will meditate and wish you both a happy future and I will meet my end.

It has been a good life.........

'd*mn you old man!!!!'

Wha...?

Oh, how could the Lord Lord be in front of you!
