[Being a Little Aggressive is Good]

““Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!””

“—!?”

――BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

We plunged down like a falling meteor, and pierced a huge crater on the ground.

Even Agartha must’ve found direct hit to be dangerous, as he’d already flapped the wings on his back and hurriedly fled to the sky.

“Tsk, we missed, huh. That guy’s surprisingly quick.”

“But we succeeded in making him move. If this undid the brainwashing on the dragonfolks, then…” Filled with that expectation, I looked up. What I saw there was the sight of the dragonfolks who had turned into flying dragons surrounding Agartha as if to protect him.

It looked like that wasn’t enough.

“Now, what should we do? We can beat them all up if you don’t mind, but… what do you think?”

“Well, fine by me. But those people are warriors too, so it won’t be easy. How about we take them down one by one?”

When I answered casually, Arca burst into a laugh and said, “Ahahaha! Yeah, that’s a really good idea. I must say, I think I’d like it if you be this aggressive on a daily basis.”

“S-so, we gonna go with my idea?”

“Umu. It’s simple and easy to understand. My favorite kind of strategy. Now, shall we begin the beatings?”

Blaze! The flames surrounding our bodies swelled up as if responding to Arca’s motivation.

I’d said it without much thought, but she seemed to like it, so that’s good. “Alright, let’s go!”

“Yeah!”

――BANG!

Kicking off the ground, we flew straight up into the sky, heading for the dragonfolks protecting Agartha.

“““““Roooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!!”””””

——WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!

Naturally, the dragonfolks didn’t stay still. They spat out Breaths of different attributes in order to shoot us down, but I had my skill《Divine Phoenix》which could nullify fire attribute attack.

“Guga!?”

Hence, we dove into the fire attribute Breath, before jumping out of the Breath right in front of its owner.

““—Grand Diamond Break!!””

BANG! We hit them with a super-hard punch on top of their head.

“——”

At that moment, the fire attribute dragonfolk shook violently, before losing consciousness and falling without a sound.

After which, they crashed head-first to the ground, and amid rolling cloud of sand, they returned to their original form.

“U-gh…”

But I could still hear a groan from them, it seemed that they weren’t dead.

That was the only thing I was worried about, but I supposed I should say that’s a demi-human with the toughness of a dragon for you.

“Umu, this is good. Alright, let’s keep this up and take care of the rest of them.”

“Yeah!” I nodded and we aimed for the next prey.

――BAM!

“Gah!?”

――BANG!

“Gigya!?”

――BOOM!

“Gugi!?”

And so, we defeated four of the five flying dragons and returned them to their original form. We then turned to the last flying dragon.

――Yes, it was the silver flying dragon, whom I guessed should be called the leader of the dragonfolks.

The color of the dragon’s body felt more divine than the others’, and the physique was significantly larger too.

It’d likely be difficult to defeat them without a really strong move.

In that case, first we should target their wings and restrict their ability to fl—

At that moment.

“—Hey, Exa.”

“Yeah, I know.”

While keeping my guard up, I look behind.

“Grr…”

There stood the darkness incarnate, cladded in a jet-black aura—Agartha.

“Fumu, looks like it’s going to be two-on-one from now on,” said Arca.

“Yeah, just as I wanted. –Come, both of you!”

““Roooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!””

――WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH!

At that moment, massive Breaths struck us from the left and right at the same time.
