Chapter 89 \nChapter 89 â Let's Become Dragon Killers\n
Now was the time for the dragon subjugation.
Kazane and the others rested sufficiently on the 31st layer, left the hidden room, then reached the Black Rock Dragon in perfect condition by avoiding enemies.
The opponent was a dragon. However, they weren't suddenly attacked in the middle of a journey, it didn't need to be hurriedly defeated to rescue a princess, and they didn't need to stop a city from being destroyed by its attack. They were just catching the dragon purely for hunting, so they could carefully await their chance and defeat it at the best timing. That was the way monster subjugation inside a dungeon went.
It had to be said that the situation was completely convenient for the hunters. It was arranged that sooner or later the monster would be defeated.ăButăa dragon was still a dragon.
The reality was that against the very powerful dragon with a name, the combat power of Kazane's party alone was nowhere near enough. Even rank A parties would be easily defeated. However, Kazane and the others had the means to fill the gap.
Kazane nodded behind her to Yumika. They were holding hands to use Kazane's Invisible, and Yumika nodded in confirmation.
They were about 20 meters from Black Rock Dragon Giove. She and Kazane would sit there and wait for the right situation. Then the rest of the party understood throughăInformation Linkăthat it was time to begin.
ăYosh, do it Sieg, Tatsuyoshi-kun, Zinray-kun.ă
Louise jumped out of the passage and gave instructions to the subsequent companions.
Giove stood up and examined the situation like it was only mildly troublesome. There didn't seem to be any damage from Zack and the others' attack a few days ago. Or maybe the experience from that time made no lasting impression on him and he was feeling unmotivated. Giove's attitude towards Kazane and the others showed he wasn't planning on getting along, though.Â
ăThunder God Spear!!ă
As soon as Giove started heading their way Zinray immediately threw the prepared javelins. Tatsuyoshi-kun also threw the rocks in its hands with all its strength. And Sieg also shot White Fang together with the two others.
The accuracy of all the attacks was strengthened by Kazane's Circlet of Wisdom throughăInformation Link.ăBecause of that, getting direct hits on the large Giove was easy. The concentrated aim on Giove's right shoulder peeled away the scales, and damage passed through. Zinray and the rest had successfully attacked the Black Rock Dragon.
Black Rock Dragon Giove screamed from suddenly receiving attacks.
As they heard from Zack's party beforehand, Giove didn't have any of the projectile repelling magic that dragons generally had. Because of its tough rock scales that seemed unnecessary, but right now that amounted to negligence.
Giove's lack of motivation from before completely changed, and he raised a growl. An ordinary flame breath wouldn't be able to reach Tatsuyoshi-kun and the others' position. However, there existed certain dragons that had a dewlap inside their throat that allowed them to amass and shape the flames into a sphere and fire a Flame Sphere. When Giove tried to release it,
Kazane held her ring aloft, and light was emitted from the ring and produced a man wearing magnificent armor. It was a tall man with amazingly well-ordered features and long silver hair.
Giove's eyes opened wide as he examined the suddenly materialized Heroic Spirit Sieg.
ăIs.That.Youuuu?!ă [TL: Every time you see youuu imagine a drawn out KISAMAAAA with your best anime dragon voice]
ăA Flame Sphere at this distance?!ă
Giove forcibly turned and fired the Flame Sphere downward.
Kazane and Yumika deeply covered themselves with the Indestructible Cloaks.
Looking at the situation Tiara screamed. The explosion was like a small sun had appeared above the ground. Tremendous shock and heat swept over the surroundings.
ăI see. My power is certainly necessary, my main half.ă\n
Tiara and the rest looked at the center of the explosion with worried gazes and saw the Heroic Spirit Sieg set up protecting Kazane and Yumika with his Heaven Mirror Greatshield.
And with one swing of the Heroic Spirit Sieg's sword the surrounding flames were blown away.
Zinray unintentionally raised an admiring voice at Sieg easily extinguishing the flames. It was a feat caused only by the swing's wind pressure.
ăThat is the Heroic Spirit Sieg, the origin of my name.ă
Sieg was watching with eyes full of adoration.
Sieg had received a brief explanation about the Heroic Spirit Sieg before they arrived here. His eyes were opened to the existence of the Heroic Spirit as their means of opposing the menace of a named dragon. Also included was the detail that his own name was taken from him.
(Such a⊠gallant figure)
The figure's entire body was enclosed by silver armor, he wore a luxurious crimson cloak with a kingly feel, and his figure set up with a huge shield and dreadfully intimidating sword was exactly like a hero from a story. However, for some reason Sieg saw that hero overlapped with Kazane.
ăI see, I did not realize because your whole body was wrapped in steel armor at that time, but isn't it you?ă
And the dragon savagely spread out in front of the Heroic Spirit Sieg.Â
ăMy arch-enemy, my sworn enemy himself!ă
ăYou would be the first to know.ă
Sieg answered Kazane's question. Kazane had no memory of him, so naturally Sieg didn't know either.
ăWell, there's no need to clear up the misunderstanding, so let's do it, Sieg.ă
The Heroic Spirit Sieg nodded at Kazane's remark.
ăI gave up on the abdomen. We'll have to whittle it down.ă
Heroic Spirit Sieg's beginning surprise attack was a failure because he had to protect Kazane and Yumika. And then Giove examined the Heroic Spirit Sieg and the others while crawling on all fours. It was just like they had heard; it seemed he would not allow any attacks to his abdomen.
ăThere's no other choice.ă
ăEveryone, please attack!ă
Kazane's words and intentions were transmitted to all party members throughăInformation Link.ă
And the battle restarted. Zinray and Tatsuyoshi-kun respectively threw javelins and stones, Sieg watched for suitable times to fire White Fang, and Tiara used her Flare Bird as a diversion.
Under Giove's feet with Heroic Spirit Sieg as the center Kazane, Yuuko-nee, and Wolf God Transformed Yumika with her silver wolves started to attack. The Heroic Spirit Sieg cut off the scales, and Kazane and the others attacked the places where the skin was visible in succession.
Above all, Kazane would disappear with Invisible when Giove was focused on the Heroic Spirit Sieg and would give considerable damage with Killing Leg. Because Giove concentrated too much on the Heroic Spirit Sieg he would be distracted from the danger of Kazane, and Invisible was able to take effect.
In the middle of that Yumika saidăif Sieg is here then I will alsoăand summoned Arch and the Gurint Grizzly Guririn. Her thought was that this time for sure they would be useful.
But as soon as Guririn appeared it ran away. It was the result of the skillăBeast Instinctăactivating against dragon species. However, because it fled in a hurry, it fell down on the way and died.
Guririn ran away.\nBut Guririn fell over.
And Arch burst into tears and shouted as she kamikaze attacked Giove.
ăGuririn gaaa, gyaa, it burns, gugyaaa, giiyaaaaaaaaa!!!ă
While wreathed in flames and shouting Arch bashed with the Luna Strike Shield. Her lovely blonde hair burned away, the face like a celluloid doll melted until she looked like a zombie with no shadow of her former features, but she still kept striking and filled the heart of every onlooker with fear.
If something like hell existed it was probably such a sight. But the Arch who was completely specialized in Health to the point that it was similar to Sieg's still did not die or stop attacking. She would fight with all her power and hatred to defeat any foe that killed her beloved Guririn.
ăSeriously scaryyyy.ă
Kazane was seriously scared, but she was an ally. She wanted to treat her a little more kindly.
ăGubo, gegegegegegegee.ă
No, a strangely colored liquid full of foam was vomiting from her mouth. That was awful. Something like treating her kindly would be impossible to say for a bit longer. Although her settings are supposed to be a Boku girl who fawns and looks after othersâŠshe thought, but there was no point of reference to declare that supposition. In the first place, if she had such a feeling the complete failure of Arch's first appearance should have resolved that.Â
And Arch continued to strike while wreathed in flames for about two minutes, and she burned away while screaming in dying agony.
ăI'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. But she gave a good amount of damage, didn't she?ă
It was too scary, and Yumika was on the verge of tears. Everyone's mood was completely ruined. The Heroic Spirit Sieg also saidăthat shouldn't be. Unreasonableăwith a cramped face. Even Giove seemed to be revolted from seeing that. By the way, she could be summoned like normal after 10 days. But it was probably better not to summon her after such a variety of pitiful things.
Such additional damage (including mental damage to Kazane and the others) was also given, and together with Sieg's continuous attacks more scales were stripped off and the bare parts increased. And Giove was accumulating damage from Kazane and the others' attacks.
ăWhat kind of disgrace, what kind of unsightly thing?ă
Each time Giove groaned he turned toward Sieg with eyes of hatred, but his anger did not reach Sieg.
If he used his claws the blow was returned, if he breathed flame it was prevented by that shield. To make matters worse, Zinray was out of javelins and joined the direct attack, and together with Wolf God Yumika they found an opening and pierced the fire creating dewlap. He couldn't read the movements of Kazane and Yuuko-nee and continued receiving their attacks.
In addition, Tatsuyoshi-kun's stone throwing and Sieg's White Fang successively hit, and his wings for flying in the sky were now torn to shreds. And Giove suddenly noticed that before he had realized it Kazane had gotten close, and a Killing Leg was bursting from overhead.
Giove screamed greatly, but because he couldn't ignore the Heroic Spirit Sieg and half-hearted attacks would be useless he didn't attack Kazane.
(What is this? That I who have lived for 200 years cannot crush such small insects with my arms and legs)
Giove resented his disappointment, and his anger burned like a raging fire. And that anger traveled through his whole body and activated his final measure.
Kazane and the Heroic Spirit Sieg were the first to notice.\n\nHowever, Kazane thought that now was the time to seize their victory, and she called for the trump card they had been holding in reserve.Â
ăLightning of arbitration, smash the evil one!ă
And Louise chanted the spell that was the mixture of light and lightning calledăJudgement Boltă that even passed the defenses of the devil Diablo, and with all her remaining power she used her staffăThunderclapăto fire a fearsome amount of lightning magical power.
The magical power amassed over the long period of one month became lightning and crashed into Giove. Its destructive power reached the same extent as the Heroic Spirit Sieg's Zexia Ray.
Finally, Kazane told Siegădecide it here.ă
In answer to Kazane's voice delivered byăInformation LinkăSieg drank the mana potion and fired his last White Fang. It was his most powerful blow up until now, and everything Sieg had cultivated since he left the Royal Palace was loaded and released with that light.
With the combination of direct hits from the Heroic Spirit Sieg's Zexia Ray, Judgement Bolt, and White Fang, Giove's body was pulverized.
ăGa, guaa, aaaaaaaaa!!ă
The flames that covered his entire body were extinguished, the rage dispersed by pain. And the last blow came from the front.
That was the last sight that Giove saw. She was thrown by the Heroic Spirit Sieg to fire the ultimate weaponăKazane Bazookaăthat used Charge to double the power of Killing Leg and further increased that by using both legs; the attack directly hit Giove's head, completely pulverizing it.Â

Kazane:ăWhat, I can become a dragon!ă
