A Certain Middle-Aged Man’s VRMMO Activity Log Chapter 109

“You’ve done it now!”

Even though he took the <7 falling="" stars="">, he stood up with great vigor. As expected of a dragon, being able to take THAT and still be fine. But blood is flowing out from cracks in his scales, so there’s no doubt that he’s taken damage.

“To be completely blown away by a human, wouldn’t this be a source of agony? If you turn your fangs against others, you should prepare the resolve to be bitten yourself.”

Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who don’t understand this. It’s not just in manga; whether you point a knife, the muzzle of a gun, or your fist at another person, you must have the [resolve] to have them pointed at you. It’s advice that says if you don’t like it, then don’t do it to others; this world is a game, so it’s even easier to comprehend. Adventurers turning a sword to monsters is permitted because, subconsciously, the players acknowledge that monsters will strike at them.

“You…”

The Green Dragon continued to glare at me. But it’s not spouting it’s Breath… you see that the Enhanced Oil was effective, burning the inside of his mouth greatly. While the dragon is playing wait-and-see, I drink a Rare Potion and restore my HP.

“To have a high sense of pride is different from being c.o.c.ky, you know?”

Aggravating an opponent has its advantages and disadvantages, but this time I dare to aggravate him. It’s a method that’s not usable in reality, but this world is something completely different. His attack power and the like might increase due to wielding it in his anger, but ever since the beginning, it would be over for me if I took a direct hit, so it’s not really a big deal.

“d.a.m.n you!”

Once again the Green Dragon came charging. But, whether it was because his calm had been broken or not, I was able to grasp his timing. On top of that he’s taken damage so, when compared to earlier, the speed seems to have worsened. While jumping with to avoid the charge, I appropriately swung downwards with my Chain Whip. It’s not to deal damage but to make him realize that I had successfully avoided it.

“As expected, it’s impossible to hide the damage from <7 falling="" stars="">; your movements have clearly gotten duller, you know.”

I heap on even more provocation.  More, I want you to come thrusting at me with even more fury; I want you to spew a Breath one more time. So I thought, but the Green Dragon slowly went rising into the sky, entering a state where he was hovering at a stable height; so it’s coming…

“At this height, that explosive won’t reach me!”

Oh? So even though he’s close to losing himself in rage, he has at least this much judgment left; this is a tad bit bad…

“As a human you’ve given me trouble, but this is the end!”

So saying, he got into the posture for the Breath. Even so, fully understanding it won’t reach, with a pitch at full strength, I threw 2 bottles of Enhanced Oil, targeting the Green Dragon. Did the terror of having the inside of his mouth flare up? Even though the Green Dragon understood it shouldn’t reach, his movements halted for a second.

“This will be fun if it goes well; I could become a street performer … probably not~”

In order to loosen my nerves, I purposefully let out those words and readied my bow. The targets are the two bottles of Enhanced Oil dancing in midair. Target set… shoot. The arrow struck one of the two bottles of Enhanced Oil dancing in the sky and it exploded, inducing in explosion in the other bottle of Enhanced Oil near it. And then, with the cooldown ba

rely over, I activated .

“Ku-, a fool’s bluff, is it!?”

Although the Green Dragon flinched a second from the Enhanced Oil explosion, he spewed out energy from his mouth and activated a strong, Wind Breath. That Breath is made up of many wind blades expanding in a fan shape; the gra.s.s and rocks in the places that were effected by the Breath were mercilessly torn apart. What was left after the Breath ended was simply clean, barren land without gra.s.s or anything. The Green Dragon came slowly landing on that barren land.

“— I,is it over…?  Humans end up like this when they think too highly of themselves…”

The Green Dragon’s superiority complex has clearly come out. Regardless of how much discussion is said to be had, the dragon race’s power is overwhelming, so other races are fundamentally terrified. The exception would be the fairy race when they were waging war. What would happen when such a terrifying existence appears before you to talk? For the other races, it would become a discussion where just not being killed would be the benefit.

Even if the dragons brought out completely one-sided conditions benefiting themselves, with an existence of overwhelming strength as their opponent, the other races would not be able to carelessly object… if you blunder and offend them, then there’s the possibility that the dragons will use their strength to crush the entire race. As these discussions were resolved due to fear over and over again, in the end, more and more green dragons misunderstood and believed they were peacefully winning good terms through their own abilities in speaking. It took no time for them to become haughty and high-handed; this part is sadly exactly like humans.

(— Alright, he didn’t notice over here yet.)

At the same time, as for where Earth is, he’s behind the Green Dragon. At that time, after he had thrown the Enhanced Oil and shot, he activated and ran forward with all his might. The explosive flames of the Enhanced Oil, as well as the Green Dragon’s own Breath, became a blind, and the Green Dragon lost sight of Earth.

After that, he activated to hide his presence, laid a short rock on the ground, and hid behind it.

(I have just one chance. And, I will truly lose my X-Bow (partner) that I’ve fought with for a long time. — Sorry, for you to be killed like this in this matter.)

I have understood the ending.  There is a 0% of victory. However, if it’s [Simultaneous Destruction], then I barely have a chance. For that … break. I’ve resolved myself; I ready the last arrow.

— Right here and now, fate is turning

— The life of my other self that has shared in my pleasures and hards.h.i.+ps,

— Together with my own life, I throw away all gains

— In order to wrench open the fortress (obstruction) blocking off tomorrow

— In order to leave tomorrow (the future) for those to come

— I leave all of my will to this one arrow

— Everything (all of it) has thrived to fire off this last arrow.

As soon as I finished the chant , the bow, the arrow, they all s.h.i.+ne violently. That light also releases . And of course, the Green Dragon also notices.

“d.a.m.n you, you’re not dead!? And that light is … d.a.m.n you, you intended this from the beginning!?”

Of course this was my intention. From the very beginning I didn’t think about winning at all, but I can literally repay him with a single arrow… I can at least cool the head of one who’s full of himself.

“Dragons, they’re by no means invincible. Learn it with this one arrow!”

And I shoot the s.h.i.+ning arrow. The instant I shot, I tasted a sensation where strength left my body with a strong shock. My maximum HP and MP decreased immediately… and my maximum HP has become 10% of what it was originally, and my MP 0%. With this, on top of not being able to use Arts at all, the Bad Statuses , , and were triggered. With my abilities weakened this much, I’ve become weaker than myself in real-life.

“Nuoooooooo!!!”

The Green Dragon formed a wind barrier at full strength to defend against the arrow. s.h.i.+t, if the damage doesn’t go through, all I can do afterwords is be tormented…. The instant I thought so, my consciousness begins to go, and I want to collapse. No good; it’s my partner’s last moments, so I must watch it over until the end; I can’t do something like collapse

“Partner-! Punch throooough!”

Somehow clenching my trembling, weakened hand into a fist, I thrust out my voice together with the arrow. At that moment it was like my will was transferred to it, and the arrow shown even more; it punctured the Green Dragon’s barrier and pierced around his abdomen… it blasted through while issuing a powerful flash.

“Gu-GYAAAAAAAA!?!?!?!?!?”

What echoed around us was the screams of the Green Dragon that had his abdomen pierced through.

“Even this probably didn’t beat him…”

That’s right, I’ve predicted it. Even though it’s degenerated, a dragon is guaranteed to have a strong life force. And, just like I predicted, with his stomach pierced through and beaten up, the Green Dragon is still there without losing his life. After I confirmed that form, I confirmed that the X-Bow that’s been my partner has turned to light and crumbled in my hands.

“Thanks, I’ll send this guy over to where you are soon; make the most of the other side.”

The X-Bow that’s fought together with me for so long…  my partner’s life has been ended, here and now. People might laugh, after all it’s an item that’s pa.s.sed. But I just can’t laugh; I mustn’t laugh.

“Ba…st….ard…”

Even with his body beaten up and violently vomiting blood from his mouth, the Green Dragon glared at me.

“As I thought, you’re not dead… as for me, I already can’t fight anymore; the most I can do is collapse… but, see?”

From my breast pocket I take out as much Enhanced Oil as I can fit into both hands; at that moment the Green Dragon’s eyes trembled in fear.

“Just by holding onto these explosive oils, I can collapse into this big hole that’s been opened up in your stomach. Your scales are most definitely tough. But, can the middle of your stomach be so tough…?”

The Green Dragon is completely terrified.

“St…o…”

He wants me not to do it, I guess, but there’s no way I won’t.

“Stupid dragon who unconsciously looked down on others, it would be good if you remember this with your death…”

And then I fell; it’s the end, the kamikaze attack. I made my partner die, so I have to decisively drive the nail in the coffin. It’s a game, so I have a body that will revive with a death penalty, but for this moment it’s…

And so, I fall while aiming for the giant hole opened up in the Green Dragon’s stomach. While I fall, the Enhanced Oils spill out from my hands and fall… I ended both myself and the Green Dragon.
