Chapter 270. Dragon hunting (6)
Kania complained while taking a breath while watching the bouncing breath.
“Aaaaaaa! You're so tough!”
A feeling that does not cut even if it is cut.
For her, it could be said that it was a rare experience for the first time in her life.
It was natural to be annoyed.
“...Certainly, two windows have already been broken.”
“It is the same with my sword.”
Asha and Seina also complained as if they understood Kania's complaint this time, exchanging broken weapons.
They still don't have the stamina to grumble at, so the other knights are sparing even words.
First of all, the wizards are enduring by casting recovery magic and taking elixirs to recover their physical strength, but there will be no end like this.
No, they will burn out first.
The chain will break sooner or later, and the spirit king will use up all his mana to do his best.
“I have been searching all over the body as ordered by Arell-sama, but has anyone found one yet?”
“None.”
Everyone shakes their heads.
“So... that’s it? Reverse or something.”
” yes.”
When Kania asked, Asha nodded.
“If we destroy the evil somewhere in the dragon's body, our attack will work. Because Arel-nim said so.”
It's not that they launched an attack without any countermeasures.
It just attacks the whole body of the dragon and searches for it.
It's called the dragon's weak point.
“Any dragon has inverted scales somewhere on its body... there is such a thing as an evil.”
When explaining the operation, Arell said this.
“It is said to be a reverse, but it is not a vital point to say that if you stab it, you are already dead. You could say it's kind of bloody, but... Oh, I don't know how to put it this way. Just think of it as a vital point where mana flow is concentrated. If you touch it, it's temporary, but the dragon feels a sudden pain and can't even control its body properly.
If you destroy it, the flow of mana will be temporarily disturbed, and you will not be able to demonstrate the transcendental defense like now.”
To attack the dragon, start with the reverse!
As long as Arel confidently said, the girls just believe his words and put in their best effort to find the evil.
“Is that a sword that cannot be distinguished with the naked eye?”
“You said it was an upside-down scale, but honestly, I can’t even see it with my own eyes!”
Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, scouts riding biggers were observing the dragon overhead, but they could not find anything strange.
Even if it's just a piece of inverted scale, it can't be easy to find it with your eyes.
If you touch something, it will be painful to understand, so it must be something you haven't been able to find since there's no signal so far.
“It's enough to attack until you find it.”
Traditionally, one of the virtues of a knight is patience.
And another thing to do with the body.
If you can't see it, just poke the whole body.
Everyone agreed to Kania's argument and started searching for the reverse again.
And the knights belonging to the raid, led by Cania, jumped toward the dragon again.
They never doubt that dragons have the weakness Arel spoke of.
Have you ever been wrong by doing what he said?
So believe and follow.
“This time, let’s focus on attacking the wings including the back!”
Instead of answering Asha's suggestion, everyone immediately jumped up and launched all the attacks they could.
Can-can-can-can!
All kinds of aura-infused weapons collided with the scales, bursting with blue light, and the sound of metal bouncing continuously resonated.
Everyone was desperately trying to find a weakness.
“Where the hell...
Asha stabbed the spear, trying to find with her eyes if there was any sign somewhere.
And behind the dragon's back.
The moment her spear stabs the inside of her back hidden by her wings.
sting.
“uh?”
Something felt strange.
Until now, it felt like hitting a hard rock, all of which bounced off, but now the taste is unique.
My fingertips were tingling because of the mana that was more than the aura he emitted.
‘no way?!'
Even before Asha opened her eyes wide at the sense of incongruity and shouted something.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Suddenly the dragon roared.
Until now, the dragon, which had been bothered by anyone who was beating it or casting magic on it and not moving, shuddered and screamed.
‘That doesn't mean this place is disgusting!'
I finally found it.
Are these muscles made of real fire?
“It’s like King Joru.”
“I'm sorry... I'm sorry the Spirit King is weak.”
Pena, who had summoned the Spirit King, was a bit demoralized.
“No... it's not Penna's fault. Originally, I was expecting the duration to be weak.”
In addition, it was not a formal summon, but an artifact, so the mana required for maintenance was insufficient.
There are always downsides to tricks.
“As expected, fire.... doesn't have much of a synergistic effect on dragons.”
Well, I didn't think that the Spirit King would last long, so it didn't matter.
Fortunately, in the meantime, I found the yeokrin.
But another problem arose.
I found the wrath, but the outer shell was unexpectedly hard, so it seemed difficult to break it with the power of the knights.
Naturally, as soon as I figured out that fact, I was looking for a way to solve the problem.
“Arel! Arel! Are you listening?”
” sister?”
But suddenly, Kania borrowed one of the knights' communication tools and suggested something to me?
My sister came up with a trick?
“....sister? Are you serious?”
What my sister suggested to me was a way to deliver a proper blow to that rebellion.
Although I was almost thrilled that my sister had come up with a plan with her brain.
“Wait? Are you really going to do it that way?”
When I heard that idea, I was dumbfounded.
I was a fool for being moved
Yes, my sister was my sister.
It was the way I naturally thought that that personality would not change over the years.
“Think again.”
“no. This is for the best.”
Well, looking at any human in the world, the only one who can give that simple, ignorant, muscle-style answer is Kania noona.
On the one hand, I seriously examined the odds.
....There's really nothing to say that it's possible.
Actually, it's not difficult to come up with a better method... Umm.....
“Arell?”
Kania noona asks again as if waiting for my decision.
I answered with a light sigh.
It's actually a secret, but it almost got better with a laugh.
You thought that far yourself, right?
“all right. Let's try what my sister thought. However, since it is sloppy as it is, I will think about the timing and designate it again.”
I decided to respect the way Kania noona thought.
This is my basic activity belief.
Except for making me comfortable or playing, if a person here presents any idea, I will respect it as much as possible.
Instead of relying too much on me, I encourage them to think for themselves and come up with a plan.
That's how it makes the people here grow up.
Isn't that the true attitude of a former pro?
It's a way to get out of the way that relies a little on strength, but there's nothing you can't do.
Then you should properly support it.
Right away, I gave instructions to the others to carry out the strategy suggested by my sister.
“The remaining soldiers, prepare immediately! Go with the strategy suggested by your sister! And someone bring me some paper and a pen! Do some ballistic calculations!”
* * *
Kania's proposal was indeed accepted.
Everyone who was listening was dumbfounded on the spot.
Instead, only Kania gave lively orders to see if he was happy that his idea had passed.
“ruler! did you hear Because Arel said it was okay. Are you doing everything the way I thought?”
“...I really thought you would allow it.”
“I expected something. Aren’t the two of you similar?”
The knights, who had already heard what the strategy was, laughed bitterly and prepared to attack the dragon once more according to Cania's instructions.
The operation is extremely simple.
Once again, he draws the dragon's attention and seizes the opportunity to deliver a blow that pierces the wrath with Kania's sword.
The problem is how to deliver the blow that will pass.
Kania just said that recklessly.
“Isn’t it simple?”
Kania pulled out the sword she had kept in reserve and spoke lightly.
Is it really that simple?
The knights tilted their heads at the same time.
Still, as if he admits that there is no other way, he follows Kania's instructions and moves.
