Chapter 17 [Subjugation at the dragon’s mountain]

I am the travelling alchemist Mei. In order to acquire the material 「Drake's eyeball」 for the upgrading of the all-purpose map, I made up my mind to subjugate a dragon.

[...There it is, that's a dragon all right]

A dragon will be at a high place, and I headed for the peak. Indeed, my assumption were correct. Looking to be a red dragon of around 3 meter long. Thankfully, it seemed to be sleeping.

[Ok, I will finish it in one strike while it's off guard......]

Gaining a distance away from it, I reached for the anti-dragon bomb in my pocket. It's untypical for an alchemist to do this, but beggar can't be chooser.

[One, two......]

Making the motion like a pitcher, it was that exact moment I heard an outrageous roar from behind.

In response to it, I turned around and my heart almost stopped. There was a blue dragon behind me in additional to the one in front of me.

[Awaa!?]

I couldn't help but roll over to the sides and from directly behind me the blue dragon breathed fire which charred the end of my rope.

[THAT WAS CLOSE]

I crawled over a nearby rock for cover and was waiting for a follow-up attack. What happened however was the other dragon waking up from the commotion and begin fighting back with its fire breath. In conclusion, a battle with two dragons have begun. Don't tell me, I chose the worse timing to come here?

[Eeeek]

Taking cover in the rock's shadow, the two dragon continued spitting fire as if they were flamethrowers. When their flame collides, it caused a burst which melted the rock surface. A roar followed with tremendous power. It's as if it's a kaiju film.

Speaking of which, the scene of humans desperately trying to escape after being involved in the battle of two creature with overwhelming power......I felt like there was such a movie. That is basically my current situation.

As I followed the trails of my memory to the conclusion of the movie......I recall it wasn't a pretty ending for humanity which made me even more pessimistic.

[Whatever shall I do I wonder......]

Roaring and swaying flames surrounding me which put me at a loss. It will be the best if they take out each other but at this rate I will be the first one to fall.

The invisible shield I crafted previously was deployed but, it's really hot and doesn't seem like it will be much use against fire.

...In that case, my course of action is decided. Kill it before it kills me.

[You guys! Resign yourself and become material!]

Thus, I decided to take on both dragon at the same time. Looking for the opportune moment, I stood on the rock and pointed the auto battle sword at the dragons.

Kudo to something made by the ultimate cauldron, it was as if an invisible knight was wielding the sword, displaying graceful movement.

Unexpectedly, the sword wasn't doing any meaningful damage to the hard scale but as a decoy it served its purpose.

[In a fight, both parties are equally guilty! Uryaah!]

Taking that gap, I threw the bomb with full power. Anti-dragon bomb. The name is--Death Dragon bomb.

...What? Just so you know I didn't choose the name. It's the default name.

Contrary to the naming sense, the explanation that the recipe book provided was that by using dragon-based power against dragon it will deal heavy damage to them......it seems. Dragon being weak to dragon-type, what is this, some kind of game.

I used if half-convinced but the firepower seemed gigantic and the blue dragon who received the blunt of the impact let out its death throes and collapsed. Ooh, it's super effective!

[Uhyaaa---!?]

My happiness was short-lived, as the red dragon seems to have diverted its attention to me who defeated its opponent, and shot a fireball at me. I barely avoided it by descending to the lowest possible point with the room. Right now, I am actually experiencing a real battle!

[If that's you want, you shall have it! Anti-dragon bomb, second wave! Eat this--!]

Towards the dragon who was pursuing me in the air, I threw the bomb at it. The name of the bomb was--Bolt Dragon Bomb.

...Don't you even dare think the name is corny or something. True to its name, it's a bomb that strike a flying dragon with thunderbolt! Why can it make lightning fall? Don't ask me!

Directing my inner voice to God knows who, the dragon was struck by a mighty illumination.

[Dohyaa---!]

My view was engulfed by white, and I could see current running through the aftermath of the area. Confronted by the impact, I couldn't help but let out a pathetic sound and made a soft landing after. Its capability exceeded my expectation. This is not something I should use at such close vicinity.

Feeling a strong static through my body as I got up, the dragon who was decimated by the lightning has fallen, much like my previous victim.

[Al-alright! It worked out! The enemy general has been defeated!]

Convinced of my victory, I opened the mouth of the bag of unlimited capacity towards the duo. When that happened, the bag ignored spatial law and sucked up the carcasses of the giants. Now once the disassembling process is done, I am all set.

◯ ◯ ◯

Finding a safe spot, I set up the all-purpose tent and begin preparatory work inside.

Starting with the all-purpose map, the Eldonia ore and 5 fairy stone soon followed into the cauldron, only one key item is left.

[Heed my call, drake's eye-!]

Wondering what kind of grotesque material will it look like, I took it out in great fear only for it to have the magnificent glitter like a gemstone.

Couldn't help but looking at the light through it, what I saw was an irregular reflection within the vivid emerald green, which formed a rainbow. What's this, so pretty.

[I am slightly reluctant to part with something so pretty but, here it goes]

Enjoying the sight to fullness, I then placed it in the cauldron. Perhaps it was difficult as it took longer than usual but soon the all-purpose map that became thicker was created. Let's see, is there any new function?

Unveiling the newly upgraded map, I spent no time confirming its new function.

[Yes! It's there! Route searching and navigation function!]

When I click on a point on the map, the details of how to get there was displayed in blue. I couldn't help but exclaimed [Let's go] and made a guts pose.

[Now then, as long as I know the escape route, I can get out of this mountain by today-!]

With my tension at its highest point, I kept my belonging, enthusiastically got on the broom and accelerated through the mountain path.
