93 Episode 27: I tried to catch the falling iris & approached a dubious ship.

With the power of the [Disaster Killer], the White Dragon of the Existence World has disappeared.

White and silver particles were drifting in the air, sparkling in the air.

It was a scene as if a star had fallen from the night sky.

''...... style.''

I took a breath and lowered the arm that was holding the bow and arrow at the ready.

Immediately after that, I heard an inorganic voice as usual.

''The calamity "White Dragon of the Abyssal World" has completely disappeared. Kou Kou Koussaka's level has reached 108.

Hohoho.

It seems that he didn't hit the wall at level 99, but rose directly to the top.

I didn't expect him to reach triple digits.

If that's the case, what's the maximum level?　255? 999?　

I don't think it's going to be 1,000, as expected, but if you get this far, you'll want to raise it to the limit.　

If you see a calamity, you can actively hunt for it.

Your level will increase at once, and the equipment you can create from the materials of the disaster are all extremely high performing.

In a way, it's very game-like in a way that the existence that could destroy the world is ...... a sucker for leveling up and collecting materials.

It's the kind of thing you sometimes see in netbooks and shovels.

Ah, yes.

The white dragon disappeared as a dry particle, but what happened to the corpse?

Normally, I would run the corpse through 【Auto Dismantling EX】 to obtain materials, and then 【Creating】, but without the corpse, I would be in trouble.

When I checked the item box, I found that 'White Dragon Corpse of the Abyssal World x1' was added to the list.

So the corpse is still there even though it's completely annihilated?

I'm thankful for that, but it feels a bit strange.

However, just like the time of the tyrannical dragon, the white dragon's soul had not been recovered.

Hmm.

Perhaps the essence of the calamity lies in that soul.

That's why if you use [Calamity Killer], the corpse will remain, but the soul will disappear ...... and so on.

Well, the detailed questions can be considered slowly eventually.

Right now, there are things that should take priority over that.

Iris.

With the end of the battle against the calamity, the [Blood Awakening] was forcibly lifted.

As a result, the wings on my back disappeared and I began to fall as it was.

Of course I'm not going to abandon them.

I call out to the mechanical dragon.

''I'll catch Iris. Are you ready?

GOOOOO!

The mechanical dragon said, "I got it! He nodded, as if to say, and began to plummet all the way down, with me on board.

I passed Iris and spun around to just below her.

As I held my arms in place while activating 【Dexterity's Mastery】, Iris fell to fit in there.

I use the spring in my entire body to soften the impact while catching it.

The damage here was almost zero.

Only at level 108, my body seems to be quite sturdy.

''Iris, are you hurt?''

It's okay. ...... You're helping me out again.

I don't mind. It's what we do as associates.

Besides, Iris worked well this time.

Thanks to stalling the white dragon with [Blood Awakening], I was able to win the game unexpectedly easily.

I'm exactly grateful for this point.

If it was just me and the mechanical dragon, it would have taken a little longer.

''Thanks for helping me out this time, Iris.

You don't have to thank me. I'm just happy to be useful to you, Coe.

Iris chuckles and gets out of my arms.

''But then again, Ko is really outrageous. You can't beat such a big monster in one shot. Now all that's left to do is clean up the bastard.

No, that shouldn't be necessary.

Do you remember the description when you [appraised] the bastard?

-- 'Its body has a high resistance to all attacks, but if the white dragon is defeated, it cannot sustain its life'

In fact, there were more items in my item box called 'Bastard of the White Dragon Bastard x 8'.

"The white dragon, the 'parent', was defeated, which probably means that the bastards were also defeated in a chain of .......

When I explained this to Iris, she commented, "Disaster is really full of wonders.

I feel the same way.

What in the world is a calamity?

Maybe we should really look into it for a while.

...... While I was thinking about this, the mechanical dragon was slowly descending in altitude, but when it was nearing sea level, it suddenly went "Grrrrrrrrrr! I groaned.

'What's up?　What have you found?

'Grrrr!　Grrrr!

The mechanical dragon said, "Look over there! He stretched his head forward as if to say, "I'm sorry.

I looked in that direction and saw a ship floating a short distance away.

A small cruise ship.

There were no people on the deck, nor were there any lights lit anywhere on the ship.

It's a strange situation, even though it is night, isn't it?

It's a bit eerie. It's like a ghost ship. ......

Maybe it has something to do with the disaster.

What crossed my mind was the result of the [Disaster Analysis].

It is said that the White Dragon of the Endless World appears through the White Sacrifice Ceremony.

Wasn't this cruise ship the setting for the ritual?

As if to support my reasoning, moonlight shone through the clouds and illuminated the deck.

There was a large coat of arms painted on the deck in red paint that resembled the letter 8.

That makes sense.

It is used by the Hourglass Messenger as a symbol.

The Hourglass Messenger worships disaster as a divine messenger.

Perhaps a ritual was performed by their followers and a white dragon appeared.

Are there any clues left in the ship about the Apostle and the plagues?

I ordered the mechanical dragon to approach the cruise ship to board.
