Chapter 285

I slashed towards that thing that had Miu’s appearance using Eleanor .

It guarded, raising its arms while jumping back . I broke through its guard and chopped its arms altogether .

「ーー!」

Its expression changed . Its expression turned into a fierce one, one unimaginable from Miu .

Its arms that were chopped immediately returned into ashes and regenerated from the chop wounds .

That thing kicked the ground and jumped into the air . It looks like it’s trying to run .

I thought of jumping after it, but I stopped .

Its movements as soon as it jumped, and also its direction .

I noticed that it wasn’t leaping, but flying .

If I just jump after it, I would be left behind part ways .

「Hikari, take out Olivia」

『Un! O-chan〜!』

Hikari’s blade shone and Olivia was summoned .

Not Chibi Dragon, nor in her dragonkin form .

The Dragon King Olivia was summoned .

I jumped onto Olivia’s head while embracing Caroline tightly .

「Pursue after it」

That was all I ordered .

Olivia flapped her wings and flew to the great sky .

That thing that has Miu’s appearance and Olivia who was chasing after it .

Olivia was faster by a lot, so we immediately caught up .

「We’ve caught you」

We closed in while I’m still on Olivia’s head . I slashed towards the fake Miu using Eleanor .

Fake Miu blocked by reaching out its arm while turning around . *Gakiiiiiーーn!!* the deafening sound echoed and sparks flew .

Its arm was tougher than earlier .

It was about to counterattack . It made a clawing movement with its hands .

I felt a bad feeling soon after . I quickly dodged .

The air, it “rotted” .

I don’t know if that’s the correct way to describe it, but that was how I felt it .

The space its claws passed through rotted .

Looking closely, its nails had a dark violet color, and something with an indescribable color was falling from ti .

『If it lands on your body, even you couldn’t possibly endure it』

「It’s useless if it doesn’t hit」

I continued to slash using Eleanor . The sword clashed with its claws creating countless sparks .

Fake Miu flew around in the air and tried to attack from my blind spot .

Olivia also started maneuvering in the air to deal with it, but .

『O-chan, she’s having it hard……』

Just like what Hikari whispered, although Olivia was faster in speed, she is inferior when it comes to making small turns in the air .

There were multiple times when Olivia could not catch up with its maneuverability and got attacked from a blind spot . Although she tried to fight back, her attacks would barely graze it, making her unable to deal sufficient damage .

After several exchanges, Olivia was caught entirely from her blind spot .

She received attacks from Fake Miu and I was thrown in the air because of the impact .

I took a glance and saw Fake Miu making an evil smile .

“You can’t catch up now”ーーI think I heard that .

「Don’t smile using that face」

I kicked the air .

I kicked the air, I kicked the wind .

I kicked empty spaces and charged towards Fake Miu .

『Kukuku, how ridiculous you are as always』

『Otou-san’s so amazing!』

Ignoring the reactions of the mother and daughter Demon Swords, I closed the distance with Fake Miu and swung down Eleanor .

Fake Miu looked surprised . It took defensive guard in desperation, trying to parry my charge .

「This isn’t over!」

I was swept away to a different direction, but I immediately kicked the air once again, charging towards it after changing directions .

Although I can’t fly in the air in the sense of floating, with this, I can now fight mid-air .

I charged many times, attacking Fake Miu .

There are times when my attack would be dodged, sometimes it would be parried, and I would also clash with it and be pummelled to the ground .

But every time, I would change directions and charge again .

Fake Miu’s face color worsens, it looked as if it was panicking after feeling it was disadvantaged .

「How about giving up already」

When I said that, Fake Miu turned around and flew away . It was flying as if it was trying to take distance away from me .

「I won’t let you escape!」

『Wait, no』

Soon after I heard Eleanor’s words of halt, Fake Miu raised its hand .

With that hand as the core, a gigantic magic circle appeared .

It was about thirty meters in diameter . A magic circle that looked as if it was covering the sky .

A dragon appeared from that .

It’s a dragon that looked as if it was made by dark flames . I can tell with a glance that it’s strong .

But, it wouldn’t be a problem .

Caroline looked completely relieved in my arms . She clings tightly to me .

The reason why she screamed before was because, at that instant, its strength exceeded myーーEleanor’s power .

But after I landed a hit on Fake Miu, it weakened so Caroline calmed down .

And even now, Caroline stays put silently . Not to mention a scream, she even seems as if all that she can see is me .

In other words, it is very clear .

But despite that, we are in mid-air . I don’t want to stay much longer, fighting in this terrain where even Olivia was played .

If so, since that’s the case . To defeat it with one shot .

I concentrated my powers towards my right hand that holds Eleanor .

With powers that exceed my limits . A powerful throw .

The throw using the full strength that Eleanorーー

『Stopーー』

She shouted before I moved, but I didn’t mind her and continued to throw .

When we’re doing this, Eleanor would always say stop or wait, so I continued to throw without reacting to her .

I am sure . That attack would kill it .

*Kyuuuuuuuunーー!!* Eleanor flew with the wind howling .

That attack using the Demon Sword that exceeded the speed of sound blasted off the dark dragon along with Fake Miu .

「……ah!」

But a moment later, I understood why Eleanor was stopping me .

I shouldn’t blast away Fake Miu .

The duration of the fight was getting longer, and I was pissed by it making such expressions using Miu’s face, so I completely forgot .

I shouldn’t defeat it, but neutralize it so that I can extract information from it .

Despite regretting it, it was already done .

Being hit by my full force attack using Eleanor, Fake Miu was completely obliterated without any remains .

I landed on the ground while embracing Caroline and dropped my shoulders .

I also recovered Eleanor while I did so .

『You fool . This is what happens if you don’t listen to my words』

「Mumumu〜」

『What “Mumumu〜” . Reflect on yourself this time』

I couldn’t rebuke Eleanor . Although the enemy was defeated, it was my mistake .

『Huh〜? Where’s O-chan?』

「Hm?」

Hikari seems to have noticed something .

When I turned around, I saw Olivia in her dragon form over there .

She is sitting like a dogーーshe stared at me with eyes you would see from a faithful dog .

The faithful dog Olivia . It’s an expression that she would sometimes make .

It’s when she wants to say something, but she’s waiting for my command .

That kind of face .

「What’s the matter, Olivia」

「Look at this!」

Olivia bowed her head and moved her face closer to me .

Olivia’s head when she’s a dragon is as big as a person . I saw something stuck between her fangs .

「This is……」

「It got stuck when I bit on that thing earlier」

「Earlier……? Ahh! When you grazed Fake Miu」

「Un!」

Olivia nodded with an even happier face .

What was stuck between her fangsーーa bit of clothes and flesh .

Although the main body was obliterated, it might be possible to use these as evidence .

「Good job, Olivia」

「Aha〜♪」

When I praised her, Olivia showed a happy smile .
