Chapter 200 - Let's Defeat a Bear Dragon




The Beared Dragon roared .

This bear-like dragon supposedly once looked the same as the Dragon Bears around it, but now it had changed dramatically . Its overall length was 5 meters, its entire body that had been covered by scales now had long fur, its fangs were sharper, and its nose and mouth had also grown . But the biggest evolution was that the monster Core was changed into the special Core called a Dragon's Heart . This significant increase in magical power output was the main cause of the Beared Dragon's large evolution .

Though as a matter of fact, Beared Dragons and Dragon Bears rarely actively attacked humans . A herd of Dragon Bears with food problems might attack people, but if their territory wasn't entered they basically never attacked human habitations .

And the Beared Dragon at the top of the hierarchy rarely had food troubles, so as a result, it had never faced humans, but ever since『something』was planted in its body a few days ago, the Beared Dragon had changed .

It was called a Devil Seed, and it was a Skill inherent to devils that transplanted a portion of the subordinate souls inside them into a monster to make the monster their servant .

After that, the Beared Dragon received its orders from the devil and gathered its fellows, then attacked the human city . The result was the present situation .



◎ Near Deidona City, Koringe Grass Fields


「The lightning magic! It was repelled?」

That was Iria's voice, the girl Naoki had saved some time ago . She had returned to the front, but the Thunder spell she used was completely prevented by the Beared Dragon's fur .

「Magicians, withdraw . This guy's fur has a magic repelling effect . 」

Iria's face suddenly fell after those words, and she slowly withdrew . After that she used Thunder a few times against the Dragon Bears and immediately went back to the city . Since you forcibly came out even though your Magic Power basically hadn't recovered at all . . . Ruinz thought, but he was busy fighting Dragon Bears, so he didn't have the leeway to say it . So all he could do was watch the retreating figure of that seemingly sad back .  


If magic wasn't effective, it would be a job for physical attacks .

「Yuuko-nee, tear it to pieces!」

「Nya!」

Yuuko-nee peeled off a part of the Beared Dragon's scales and sliced with her purple aura covered fire claws . Fire spouted from the wound, and the Beared Dragon screamed in pain . Poison should have started circulating at the same moment it was burned .

Yuuko-nee's fire claws had the effect of continuing to burn wounds from the start, but this time Yuuko-nee's claws were also given the effect of『Poison Claw』through the Aim Bracelet Kazane won at the Grand Tournament .  

That Aim Bracelet allowed Kazane to output her Active Skills from Yuuko-nee . Therefore, it was also possible to release『Killing Leg』and『Mega Beam』through Yuuko-nee, and Kazane was thinking she wanted to stand beside her and say「Mow them down!」as she fired Mega Beam from Yuuko-nee sooner or later .

But right now Kazane was also concentrating on Louise's escort . Since the Skill activation itself had to be done by Kazane, she wasn't able to incessantly activate Skills . So this time she applied『Poison Claw』with Yuuko-nee at the beginning for its continuous effect .

「Hm . Those should succumb . 」

So saying, Jinrai continued circling the Beared Dragon as he steadily damaged its limbs . Jinrai was thinking he should reduce its mobility first .

The Beared Dragon was faster than it looked, and its Flame Breath was powerful, but since Yuuko-nee was entrusted with their mobility and『Intuition』meant her avoidance ability was guaranteed, that would never hit them, and Jinrai was able to simply concentrate single-mindedly on attacking .

「Master, I’m also here . 」

Yumika was running beside them . Since Dragonoidization had already been dispelled, she was now using her Wolf God Transformation .  

「Hm . You're tired from continually fighting, aren't you? It would be best to take a short rest . 」

「Such aー」

Yumika's voice raised as she lamented after her master's cold words .



「I'm joking . But this huge things movements are dulling, so it should soon hunker down and focus on attacking . I'll leave protecting the surrounding people to you . 」

Jinrai looked around . Lyle and Emily were also there . This was a battlefield, but he didn't want his grandchildren to die in such a place .

「Understood, but what about master?」

「First I'll shave off the scales . Then I'll cut off its head!」

In that place was a formerly old man who didn't restrain himself . Ignoring Yumika’s「As expected . . . 」face, Jinrai continued running with Yuuko-nee . A Beared Dragon was a higher ranked monster than an Earth Dragon, but its rank was lower than a Crystal Dragon . There was no troublesome attack like Crystal Breath, and except for the special trait that magic wasn't effective, it was no different from an ordinary dragon .

Although it was a sufficiently astounding existence simply from being a dragon, the biggest problem with dragons was the high defensive power of their scales . The situation changed if there was a way to cause damage .

And Jinrai's dragonfang spears could easily cut into even an adult dragon's scales . It was something that made the brutal nature of the Black Rock Dragon keenly understandable, but a dragon fell to the same level as an ordinary monster as long as there was such a means . Jinrai, the Wolf God Transformed Yumika, and Lyle could all cut through the scales, which would allow the attacks from the other adventurers and soldiers to cause damage to accumulate .

(Well, it would be too harsh on Lyle to ask that at this point)

Jinrai understood that his grandson wasn't a person overflowing with talent . But Jinrai also knew he had the will to go beyond that . He himself also『didn't have any talent』, so he thought it was possible for his grandson to reach a higher height than himself someday .

(But right now he's still a baby bird . )

Causing a small amount of damage to the Beared Dragon while supported by Emily and Naoki was the best he could . Jinrai muttered「Well, do your best」to himself as he watched that figure before he turned back to the dragon .


The figure of that Cat Knight was supported by the surrounding warriors . It was said that 50 people were necessary to fight a dragon . 50 people was the normal amount of people for a dragon subjugation . The truth was that there were varying numbers, but what was always necessary was a way to shave off the scales and a way to cause damage .  

And as expected from a city in a dragon-inhabited country, it possessed a way to capture dragons called a Dragon Chain . The Beared Dragon's dulled movements meant it could be entangled, which further restricted its actions .

Although the surrounding Dragon Bears attacked as if they were going crazy, the Flame Knights, Crystal Knights, and all members of the famous party『Swordfish』fought back and dominated the battlefield .




「Ah, we've won . 」


That was Kazane's mutter .

And after only 20 minutes of battle, the Beared Dragon finally fell . Yuuko-nee apparently dealt the finishing blow . A skill called『Cuticle』was added . While it was a long-awaited magic defense Skill,

(Cuticle? No way, will it make my hair glossy?)

It was also a Skill that made her curious about the visual side .


Jinrai riding Yuuko-nee raised a war cry as the dragon collapsed, and the watching warriors cheered and were about to move to mop up the rest of the Dragon Bears . But they noticed that the sky suddenly became dark . Then they looked up at the sky and screamed .


「Dra, dragons!!」


There were people with expressions of surprise and despair, but Kazane muttered「They're a little late . 」A group of more than 10 adult dragons was flying over them in the sky . They were reinforcements from the East Dragon Village Zegan that the dragon mount Raiel had hastily flown to summon .


After that, it only took 10 minutes for the combination of adventurers, soldiers, and dragons to exterminate the remaining Dragon Bears . Thus, the Dragon Bear subjugation battle came to an end .
