CHAPTER 46 – ULTRA DRAGON VS. DIVINE DRAGON
It seems that sleeping drug was added to our meal.
Maa, it won’t work on me who has〈Pinnacle of Psyhique〉though.
「Chief!? What have you done?」
Ryuna who guided us to the village raises her voice after noticing the abnormality.
「I will have these guys become the sacrifices for the Sea God instead of the villagers. These two girls, in particular, will suit Sea God’s preferences」
「That can’t be……! These are people who have saved our lives!?」
「…… Forgive me, Ryuna. It’s for the village ja. We can’t afford to offer more sacrifices anymore」
「Even so……!」
A quarrel between the chief and Ryuna. The other mermaids look surprised too, it seems that this is only the doing of the chief. This goddamned hag.
I ask.
「Fu~n, Sea God, huh. What kind of fellow is it?」
「A gigantic double-headed monster ja It was sealed in the seamount shrine since the ancient times, but it has woken up just recently. And since then, it has been appearing once a month abducting the village girls……」
「It’s somehow like a development from some old folk tale, huh」
Like Yamata no Orochi1 and such.
「――tte, why are you not asleep no ja!?」
Chief who calmly explained until now finally noticed and shouted in surprise.
「N…… slightly dizzy」
「Mama, what’s wrong?」
It also didn’t work on Shiro and Filia, not just me.
They are a Dragon and a Magic Puppet, after all.
「Wh, why it didn’t work……? You weren’t supposed to wake up for a whole day……!」
The old hag shouts in surprise while her boobs swing.
Guo…… what a strong mental attack……!
I avert my gaze in disgust and use Healing Jutsu on Tira and Ellen.
The two immediately wake up.
「…… Ah, I should have done some ecchi stuff first」
「I hear you, though!?」
The moment Tira shouts.
A roar of a beast comes from distance and the mermaids gathered in the square start screaming in panic.
「! This is the voice of the Sea God ja! Everyone, evacuate to the buildings!」
The mermaids scatter in all directions at chief’s instructions.
I can see a big, dark shadow slowly approaching the village in a distance.
「Dragon?」
It’s a double-headed dragon.
A blue scaled aquatic dragon, its overall length easily exceeds 50 meters.
I examine it with〈Pinnacle of Appraisal〉and check it in detail.
「It’s more than millennium old dragon. If that’s the case, then it’s an Ultra Dragon」
Dragons are generally divided into the Lower, Medium, and Superior grades.
Superior are the strongest, for example, a Red Dragon belongs to that grade.
But, there are dragons above that who are considered as legendary, the Ultra Dragons.
There are cases when dragons who live for a long time evolve into Ultra Dragons.
This sea dragon before is just that.
「Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a dragon for a dragon. That being the case, I leave this to you, Shiro」
「N」
Our family’s pet who sensed the owner’s intention already stands stark naked on standby. No, she just took her clothes off like always.
A brilliant light envelops Shiro’s body and a white dragon make an appearance.
She usually stays in her human form, but her real identity is that of a Divine Dragon which is ranked even above Ultra Dragon, the Bright White Dragon.
「Wha, wha, wha……」
The old hag is not able to stand up at the sudden appearance of a legendary dragon.
「I’m off」
Shiro says just that and jumps underwater with an explosive velocity.
The sea dragon is nearly ten times bigger than Shiro.
Still, Shiro approaches the sea dragon without hesitation and releases a shockwave from her mouth.
『Gya!?』
One of the heads screams after suddenly getting attacked.
『That hurt~! What are you doing all of sudden!』
It sounds very childish even though it’s over a millennium old.
『It’s that dragon’s doing』
『Han, isn’t that just a young dragon!』
『Moreover, to oppose us in the water, it has some nerve』
After the two heads interacted with each other, their fangs suddenly rushed towards Shiro in a counterattack.
However, Shiro calmly swam in the water and easily dodged the double-headed dragon’s attack.
『This fellow is quite nimble!』
『It hurts』
On the contrary, the double-headed dragon suffered damage from Shiro’s shockwave.
『Shit, how about this!』
Suddenly, an underwater vortex appears. It’s that sea dragon’s doing. A high speed rotating vortex swallows Shiro.
『Ahaha, it’s impossible to escape from that! You should just keep on stirring inside that and let it become your watery grave!』
『N? I can simply come out of this』
『Uwaa? It simply came out!?』
The double-headed screams at Shiro who easily escaped the vortex.
After that, it was a one-sided development.
Although still young, it’s as expected of a Divine Dragon. Furthermore, fighting in the enemy territory, Shiro didn’t let the double-headed dragon even touch her.
The worn-out sea dragon realized that it can’t win and raised its voice in protest.
『We are both dragons, why are you getting in our way!』
『That’s right, that’s right!』
『Owner’s command』
『Owner? You are being kept by a mermaid in spite of being a dragon?』
『Wrong. Owner is a human』
『Pupupu, yielding to a human, what a deplorable dragon!』
『I can’t fight against delicious food』
Saying that, Shiro bits the sea dragon’s back.
『Gyaa!』『Hurts!』
『…… Hard. But, it could be cooked』
『Hiiii!』『I beg you, don’t eat us!』
The double-headed dragon shouts in miserable voice after realizing it was reduced to an ingredient.
『It’s all right. I will eat all properly』
『That’s not the problem!』『Uwa~an!』
「That’s enough, Shiro. Release it」
「N」
When I call out to her, Shiro plainly pulls out her fangs from the sea dragon’s scales.
Then, the sea dragon’s body starts rapidly shrinking and before long a two-headed figure of a young boy appears.
It transformed to a human. Rather, even after transforming it stills has two heads……
Recognizing me as Shiro’s owner, the young boy prostrates in front of me.
『Please, forgive us!』
『We won’t taste delicious if you eat us!』
Certainly, they don’t look delicious.
Maa, leaving aside if to eat them or not, I order to dragon two(?).
『I will have you return all the mermaids you have taken away until now』
