126 – Dragon Breath
“·······.”
I stared blankly at Sharon.
Those eyes. I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere. Memories that are still vivid in my mind.
It was when he fell into the trap of the police and detective union in the dark and damp sewer.
An opponent who accurately pinpointed my location even though I covered my eyesight with a smoke screen to escape.
It was the same as Sherlock’s shining emerald eyes.
Rachel questioned Sharon, frowning at her while I was bewildered.
“What? Why is it suddenly northwest?”
“It’s moving right.”
“You see all of that?”
There was still a haze of fog covering the surroundings. To the extent that an ordinary person’s eyesight cannot accurately distinguish the other person beyond it.
But Rachel had a crooked smile on her lips and she poured fire in the direction Sharon pointed out without hesitation.
“Let’s check somewhere!”
Burning flames soared through the fog.
Then, a small clicking sound came from the other side.
“Sheesh!”
“Looks like it’s real!”

Julia also exclaimed in a bright voice as if she felt hope in the midst of the battle.
“Okay. Continue location briefing. I will burn them all.”
“Summons this way from 2 o’clock.”
“Okay!”
As soon as I opened my eyes, the unfavorable charter became tighter again. Rather, it could be said that we had an advantage.
All of the surprise attacks of the summons, which made her heart tremble because she didn’t know where they would jump out, were all seen right in front of Sharon’s eyes.
Every time the glowing green eyes looked around, the sound of Granger’s tongue growing louder.
“You idiot! Don’t be idly by, help quickly!!”
While she was staring at the situation stunned, she managed to come to her senses at Rachel’s point.
She once again sucked all her smoke through her card magic. Now he would have known that we had a breakup law, so he wouldn’t use the same method.
As the thick fog cleared, Granger’s expression was properly rotten. Apparently, he didn’t like Sharon’s performance very much.
“I don’t know what the plan was, but…. In the end, nothing changes!!”
Granger explodes with rage and bursts with magic, like a roar.
We couldn’t help but be more nervous than ever. It was because all sides of the cave that had returned to normal were full of summons he had created.
The biggest feature of summoning magic is persistence.
In other words, once summoned, it continues to follow the owner’s command as long as it does not receive a certain amount of damage or lose its magic power. The summons he had dealt with before did not disappear and were hiding in the fog.
Then why didn’t the summons be summoned all at once from the beginning?
The reason is simple.
The disappearance of steam means that the opponent can also locate us.
Up until now, if it felt like we just put the summons in a place where we could be, it means that from now on, they will be aiming at us in earnest.
···Is this just removing the fog? It might have been better if we were able to see each other one-sidedly using Sharon’s magic.
No. Judging from Sharon’s gasping, it seems that the magic just now consumes a lot of mana. In other words, if the same situation as before had been maintained, it would have run out of mana quickly and would have been dangerous.
“Ha. Did you prepare such a cute number?”
Rachel was not frightened when she saw the hordes of summoned beasts surrounding her, but she kept a smile on her face.
It was an arrogant attitude in a way, but it was well-founded.
“Yulia. A wide-area shield is possible, right?”
“Yes.”
A translucent protective shield that surrounds the four of us. Seeing Yulia’s defense magic, Rachel nodded her head in satisfaction and stretched her arms out to the sides to create two magic circles.
The magic circle created outside the shield radiated flames and filled the entire cave with flames.
It was truly overwhelming space control. In a battle against many, it is doubtful whether there is a better magic than this.
If we fight like this, we can’t lose. Even if he approached through the flames, it was because Yulia’s protective shield was in the way. It will end up being roasted whole before it breaks through the protective barrier.
I refrained from being caught in the casting range when it was shrouded in fog, but since that was gone, Rachel seemed to have nothing to shy away from anymore.
Boom!!
A huge rhino crashing into the shield. There was a slight crack from the strong impact, but that was all.
In the end, it burns before breaking the protective shield and is scattered with magical power.
I wonder if this should have been enough, but I didn’t think the flame would go out. It seems that he is trying to eliminate Granger at once by pouring his mana in this state.
Of course, the opponent didn’t take it lightly.
“Profit…!!”
Granger emerges from the flames with a growl.
No, it wasn’t completely fine. It was scorched and burnt everywhere.
Even so, the guy stood still and was glaring at me like he was going to kill me.
“Don’t bother climbing up!!”
His arrogant pride must have been quite scratched, his eyes flashing as he screamed.
Red eyes overflowing with life. Just a brief encounter is enough to give you chills.
At the same time, a blurry shape appeared behind him.
As soon as I saw it, I was horrified.
‘Dragon…!’
It’s clear. The form was so faint that it was difficult to recognize, but the mana flowing behind Granger was the power of the dragon. This time, the deadly magic appeared much faster than the original.
But it’s still okay.
If we summoned him properly, we would be horribly defeated without a chance to resist. Judging from the current atmosphere, it didn’t feel like he had mastered dragon summoning perfectly.
Then you have a chance. If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that we have to react first before we do anything.
It was then. A calm voice from the side.
“The center of the chest. It has no scales.”
“·······.”
Once again, bright green eyes. Her words can’t be nonsense. The dragon’s only weakness was discovered at once.
As expected…
No, think about it later.
For now, the first priority is to end this battle.
A dragon that gradually becomes more distinct as time goes by. As expected, it seemed to take a considerable amount of time to summon, perhaps because he was not yet skilled in magic. So, we need to get rid of this gap quickly.
“Yulia. Remove the shield.”
“But…”
“It’s okay.”
“Yes.”
Perhaps he was worried that the summons would remain in the flames. But now, normal summons are not important.
She immediately took out her card and blew it at her chest, which Sharon had pointed out. Then, a summoned creature burst out of the flames and threw her body to try to block her card.
“Where!”
Rachel’s baptism of fire consumed her summons without leaving a trace of her. Thanks to that, she was able to safely get the card stuck in her chest without the dragon’s scales.
But before that could happen, Granger let out a manic laugh.
Suddenly, the summoned beast behind him was fully colored.
“Ku, hahahahaha!! It’s already too late! Search everything!!”
The dragon opens its mouth slowly. And then, the cohesion of tremendous magical power that slowly flowed in his mouth. The dragon’s breath, which only appears in mythology, is about to unfold at the test site.
No matter how embarrassing it is to compare it with the original version, a dragon is a dragon.
If you hit it directly with Dragon Breath, it might be turned into powder along with the test shield.
The examiners, who were watching the battle due to the unusual amount of magic power, immediately ordered us to stop fighting. It was judged that this could lead to a terrible accident.
Beep! Pajijik…!!
However, an unexpected incident occurred. The test protective film that was connected to the outside began to show abnormal symptoms. Even the teleport magic circle to evacuate us flickered and lost its light.
“… Oh my God.”
This was the power of the dragon. The power possessed by a great being called the master of magic.
An ability appropriate for a dragon to control the surrounding magical power and rule only by itself.
Although the same development occurs in the original work, it is a later story that is far from now. I’m so shocked that I can’t help but laugh.
The problem is that even the caster, Granger, can’t properly control that power.
Rather, he seemed to have lost his reason as he was swayed by his imperfect summons.
The amount of concentrated magical power that is getting bigger and bigger. The breath that was gathering in his mouth before he knew it emitted a bright light that would blind him just by looking at it.
“What are you doing!? If that’s the case…!”
Rachel tried to cast a spell in a trembling voice. It looks like she’s trying to target a weak point instead of me, but she stopped by holding her wrist.
Looking at me as if I’m crazy.
But this was the surest way for now.
Even though neither Yulia nor Rachel seemed to understand.
Sharon seemed to have noticed my intentions, met her eyes with me with a calm gaze, and nodded her head.
The moment the dragon finally gathered all of its breath and was about to shoot at us.
I exploded the card stuck in the guy’s chest. By itself, it was an insignificant shock enough to cause a snort, but what I was aiming for was a chain reaction through an explosion.
The breath, which was clumped together with mighty magical power, couldn’t fly towards us and exploded in the dragon’s mouth, sending it flying into the sky.
Boom! Bang!! Bang!!!
A breath that soared into the sky, piercing the walls of the ceiling several times.
When I lifted my head, a large hole opened up, and the sunlight streamed in.
“… Ha.”
It was a very unrealistic sight.
