Chapter 529: I Need Her Help. Is She Free?
I rise to the sky while keep attacking the fire dragon with Blobbyguns so it will keep its attention at me.
“Hey! That’s a dragon! Do you need any help!?”
While I was flying in the sky, Spot shouted. Seems like he knows how powerful a dragon is.
“You just need to keep the tortoise busy! I will also stall this dragon! Once the girl is done with whoever she’s fighting, she can help either one of us!” I shouted back to the serpent.
Of course by the girl, I’m talking about Angela. We didn’t speak anyone’s name to keep our identities secret. Angela is too famous right now. Even though she hasn’t taken any part in the tournament, because the commentators are the same twins as the commentators during the previous college tournament, they have spread the words about how powerful Angela is. At least that’s what I heard from Sonia. And Jewel also told me this afternoon.
Angela saw me fighting the dragon, but somehow, she’s focusing more on the monsters around her. But that’s for the best.
Those monsters have high magic resistance, and quite powerful in close combat as well. Even the werewolves are having difficulties fighting them. If Angela isn’t there, those monsters will attack other people.
.....
So far, we have been doing well to reduce the casualties. But now, if Spot isn’t facing the tortoise, or I’m not stalling the dragon, or Angela isn’t fighting those monsters with high magic resistance, the casualties will increase and we might even lose. We can’t have that when the cult’s main force, the artificial master level children, aren’t here yet.
No one among us want to kill children. I don’t know about the monsters, but I hope they are the same as well. But if they came, having more people can stall those children until I used whatever it is that Marie created with the help of Victoria and other people.
Victoria said that it’s still in experimental phase. They still need some more test before they can feel confident about the tool. That’s why Victoria is still not here yet.
I wish she could quickly tell me that their tool is working so she can come here.
Though what I need to do right now is to fight this fire dragon. As for the other monsters, Shelia, Graham, Arin, and the others should be able to do something until Angela or Spot is done fighting their enemies. As for me, I have no confident of defeating the fire dragon on my own when Victoria is not with me.
Although I have Blobbies, they are different from Victoria. Victoria can alter her weight so I can hit the enemies with heavier attack. The Blobbies can do that to, but the limit of their maximum weight is much lower than how heavy Victoria can be. That’s why defeating a dragon without her is just like a dream.
Well... maybe Victoria won’t be needed much during the testing session of the new magic tool. I’ll ask Sonia if she is available for a few hour.
“Sonia, ask Victoria if she’s available for the next hour. I’m fighting a dragon and I can’t win without her. Though if she’s busy, tell her that it’s fine to not come. I can still stall for time until Angela helped me,” I said as I called Sonia who is invisible after appearing next to me.
“A dragon? Alright, I’ll ask her,” Sonia said as she disappears.
Until she returns, I need to distract the dragon. Also, I need to make sure that the dragon is only focused at me.
I keep shooting at the dragon while flying toward somewhere far from the battle. And even so, I need to make sure that our position won’t change. With the dragon’s back facing the battle where the others are. Or else, the dragon’s fire breath will kill too many of us.
I think we’re already far enough. I let the Blobbies return to my armor as I hold the Reizpear I have retrieved back tightly. This will be a difficult battle. But if I can win this, I will be stronger again.
“Come at me, oversized lizard!”
Although this dragon is smaller than the Giant Salamander from the stampede in Melk in the past, it’s still huge. Though when I called it oversized lizard, my Divine Vision which was still active can see Gecko, the dragonic man, looked this way as if I’m calling him.
You both are oversized lizard, but I’m not calling Gecko. Just focus on your fight.
The place where I hit the dragon the strongest was its back. The one protected by powerful scales. But what if I’m aiming at its bellies? Or its eyes? Neck? Tongue?
What is the most effective attack? Magic? Slash attack? Pierce attack? Or blunt attack?
The slash attack was ineffective on its back. But maybe piercing attack will.
When the dragon noticed that I’m in front of it alone, maybe it thinks that I’m strong. So, it lets out a fire breath to attack me.
Combined with my air magic to make the fire weaker, I barely managed to slash the fire breath. Though the shoulder of my armor got burned slightly. Good thing it was my Blobbyarmor. If I don”t wear Blobbyarmor, I would get burned instead. And that Fire Breath was more like a Fireball, so I can slash it. If it’s really a non-stop Fire Breath, I would be turned into ashes.
Though the dragon’s attack is not over.
As soon as the dragon noticed that I can slash through his fire breath, it flies toward me. And it’s fast! Faster than me at least in the sky!
The dragon slashed its claw at me as I blocked it with Reizpear. But I got blown away instead.
“Shit! It’s also very strong!”
Dragon is truly a cheat. If Andro is much more fit rather than his current overweight body, he would be too strong. Even this dragon is strong. What about the Kaiser Dragon, Andro?
Unless there’s a gigantic enemy the same size of Andro, I guess I will never know. For now, I need to focus on the dragon.
Stronger than me and faster than me. Though I hope I’m smarter than it. That’s the only way I can hope to win.
Should I start using portal? But we’re flying in the sky, so it might be difficult. For now, let’s attach as many Blobbies as possible all over the dragon’s body.
I threw several Blobbies toward the dragon. And I need to make sure that those Blobbies are located in the right place. Like on his chest so I can stab his heart directly.
The dragon’s arm is longer than me with Reizpear. So, it’s difficult to reach its body. But with portal, it should be possible. Though I won’t use portal yet.
I dodged the dragon’s slash and about to get closer, but the dragon flew backward to gain its distance. Although the dragon is faster than me, when it’s flying backward, I am still a bit faster. So, I can finally reach him again after the first encounter.
With my Reizpear, I aimed at his heart. His chest is not covered by scales like his back, but the defense is still pretty strong.
Still, with my full power, My spear pierced its chest. Unfortunately, just as the tip of the spear get closer, the dragon flapped its wings to fly backward again. Meaning, I couldn’t stab its heart.
I pierced its chest, but with my Divine Vision, I can see that the tip was just poked its lung. And the bleeding stopped quickly, so I didn’t give the dragon much damage.
It doesn’t seem to have the same regeneration ability as the vampires or werewolves, but its healing ability was quite good.
I guess I will use portal to fight. The dragon won’t be able to predict my attack well if I use portals.
But when I thought of that, Sonia returns with good news.
“Victoria said that she can leave the testing to Marie and the others over there. You can summon her. Though after the battle is over, it’s best if you bring her back to Marie’s side.”
“That’s great! Victoria!”
I summoned Victoria after I broke my Reizpear into pieces so I can put them in my pocket.
“It’s been a while, R- A DRAGON! There’s a dragon in front of me!”
“Of course there is! I told Sonia to relay a message to you that we need to fight a dragon!”
As soon as Victoria got summoned, she greeted me. But before she could finish saying my name, she as surprised to see a dragon in front of her.
“I didn’t know that! Sonia just told me that it will be easier for you to fight if I’m around!” Victoria shouted.
“I just don’t like how you can take it easy with the testing when everyone here is so busy. I had to travel hundreds of times in one day, but you were just watching something and take it easy. I don’t like that.”
Seems like Sonia is envious that Victoria doesn’t look too busy. Even I am envious!
“Just get ready to fight! It’s not like this is the first time you see a dragon!” I shouted to Victoria.
“Fine, fine. Though it’s the first time that the dragon in front of me is trying to kill us for real!”
Well, back then, Andro just didn’t care at all about us in front of him. But this dragon in front of me is showing hostility to us.
Now that Victoria is here, I don’t need to worry about how much Blobbies I will waste.
