Manowa Chapter 140

Chapter 140 - Let's Get a Rare Item

「I will start now . 」

Tiara waved her rapier like a baton while looking at the Crystal Dragon 50 meters away . 『Crawling Lightning』had stopped the Crystal Dragon's movements, and now it became surrounded by 10 of Tiara's Flame Knights . The Knights used their greats.h.i.+elds and lances to restrict the Crystal Dragon's movements according to Tiara's will . Tiara's ability had increased, so she was now capable of controlling that number of summoned creatures . It was the result of her innate concentration ability and guidance from Louise and Mefirus .

And then one shape left that place . It was Hippomaru-kun . Hippomaru-kun only caused one blow with『Crawling Lightning』because it didn't have room to turn around for another blow, so the Thunder Chariot summoning was canceled and it withdrew . Since it was longer pulling the carriage, it could certainly turn around and deal damage with the dragon horns if it did a rus.h.i.+ng attack, but the possibility of becoming a victim of the Crystal Breath attack was high . Therefore, Hippomaru-kun's turn came to an end .

「Let's go!」

「Roger . 」

The teacher and student combination of Jinrai and Yumika pa.s.sed by the withdrawing Hippomaru-kun to attack . They had already run out of throwing spears, so Jinrai and Yumika decided to join the fight directly with their favorite spears . Yumika also used her Wolf G.o.d Transformation and summoned her silver wolves to further restrain the Crystal Dragon . The ma.s.s production Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun models continued to carefully and accurately throw stones amidst the melee .

The Crystal Dragon couldn't endure Jinrai and Yumika's attacks, so it tried to attack with its tail and forefeet, and also tried to fight back by crystallizing them with its Crystal Breath, but with his many years of experience Jinrai was able to read and avoid everything, and it couldn't hit Yumika with the speed granted by her Wolf G.o.d Transformation and her new Sylphyn Boots . Furthermore, they had Breath Guard magic from Louise, so any slight dregs of Breath were repelled . By all rights they should have gradually become crystallized and stopped moving, but it wouldn't work against those two .

Yumika and Jinrai were fine, but the Flame Knights were not . Some Knights were crystallized and Tiara cried out in pain from the feedback, but Tiara was no longer an amateur . She endured the pain and continued concentrating on operating the remaining Flame Knights .

At one point the Crystal Dragon used its Crystal Eyes and finally noticed some figures were missing . During this time, the Crystal Dragon hadn't seen the White Party leader Kazane, Yuuko-nee, or Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun Dragoon . Of course, Kazane hadn't turned tail to run away . There was no way she would do such an unworthy thing . She liked to act at the most favorable moment .

「Killing Leggggg!!」

And the Crystal Dragon was suddenly slammed by a heavy attack to its absolutely defenseless back .

「Nyaan」

Before it noticed, Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun riding Yuuko-nee was behind the Crystal Dragon . The Crystal Dragon noticed them with its Crystal Eyes . But the attack wasn't from them . Kazane had used Invisible and approached from behind with Yuuko-nee, then jumped from her back and used Charge, Killing Leg, and the fire boost to launch her killer move『Kazane・Neo Bazooka . 』Considering the number of steps, it may be more of a combination technique than a killer move .

The aim was its hip joints . In one go the kick shot through the back of its body and destroyed both legs and its tail . As usual, Kazane's momentum couldn't be stopped, so she was buried in the ground .

「Seriouslyyyyyyyyyy!?」

She said, but it couldn't be helped . Kazane's fate was to dive into the ground .

Yuuko-nee had eaten a fireball for a boost and started to run . Then Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun Dragoon on her back raised the huge magic sword with the weight reduction magic overhead and jumped .

「Nyaaa!」

Unlike Yuuko-nee, it didn't raise a fighting cry, but after jumping from Yuuko-nee's back it immediately slashed the Crystal Dragon's right arm mercilessly .

The dreadful sound of destruction rang out, and Dragon Crystal fragments flew out . But it didn't cut through . The Crystal Dragon immediately raised its right arm and repelled Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun Dragoon, which started to roll .

(It's still connected . It's so solid)

The Wolf G.o.d Transformed Yumika was watching that situation . As far as Yumika could see, only a third of the right arm hadn't been cut through . Then crystals started growing to restore the broken right arm .

「Restoration?! I won't let you!」

Wolf G.o.d Transformed Yumika wouldn't turn a blind eye to that . She started running toward the sliced right arm . The Crystal Dragon predicted that and shot a rainbow beam from one of its horns . It was the Crystal Dragon's trump card . The Wolf G.o.d Transformed Yumika sensed the attack with『Intuition』and reflexively jumped to the side . The light missed Yumika and continued in a straight line, and the ground was gouged out with an explosion . It was a tremendously powerful radiation attack .

(Oops)

Due to forcefully dodging that attack, Yumika's posture was greatly destroyed . But Yumika had something to compensate for that . The Wolf G.o.d Transformed Yumika made a foothold in the air with the Air Jump from her Sylphyn Boots to restore her destroyed posture . Yumika immediately jumped to the right arm and used the vibration shattering technique『Shake . 』The arm was completely torn off and flew away . Kazane had been watching Yumika's attack with her Circlet of Wisdom, and she moved for the finis.h.i.+ng touches .

「Skill・Dragonization!」

Kazane turned into a 5-meter blue dragon and broke the ground with her leap, then grabbed the remaining arm and sealed the Crystal Breath by holding the Crystal Dragon's mouth . Yuuko-nee and Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun Dragoon also grabbed it to help seal its movements . Today's clincher wasn't Kazane, but Jinrai .

『Jinrai-san . 』

「That's right . 」

Jinrai nodded after Kazane's cry .

After Kazane stopped the movement of the Crystal Dragon, she lifted it a little to expose its chest, and Jinrai slowly moved forward and set up with his spears in both hands .

Jinrai took a deep breath . Actually, Jinrai also had a technique that could be called a killer move like Kazane's『Kazane・Neo Bazooka . 』Usually it was too difficult to use in a battle, but if his companions could restrain the enemy it was possible to use it .

His aim was the Crystal Dragon's Heart,『Rainbow Heart . 』Jinrai confirmed its appearance, then thrust with both spears at once .

Spear technique『Heart Hunter . 』

A Skill that cut a full circle by having two spears each cut a semicircle . There were no dragons that could endure that fully powered attack with the dragon fang spears . The Rainbow Heart was scooped out through the round hole, and the blue dragon Kazane panicked and caught it before it fell . Immediately afterwards .

「Kazane, it's bad!」

Jinrai shouted .

Except for the outside Dragon Crystal sh.e.l.l, a Crystal Dragon's body was mainly made of dragon meat transformed into Dragon Burial Soil . That was one of the main const.i.tuents of Muscle Clay, and was why it could acc.u.mulate magical power . In other words, the Crystal Dragon still had a small amount of magical power supply even without the Rainbow Heart, and it was still able to move .

『Tch』

Kazane clicked her tongue, and one of her dragon arms was crystallized by the Breath . But Kazane wasn't going to helplessly take damage .

『Dragoon, magic sword!』

According to Kazane's instruction, the Dragoon threw the giant magic sword, and blue dragon Kazane caught it, then said

『This is the end!!!』

As she swung the magic sword down . The Crystal Dragon's neck was more brittle than she had  imagined because of the lack of remaining magical power and was easily sent flying by that blow .

『I did it this time for sure . . . right?』

Kazane was wary of it attacking again and positioned herself accordingly, but it didn't move any more .

The crystallized arm holding the Rainbow Heart was also safe . Kazane obtained a new Skill from defeating the Crystal Dragon . It was called『Crystallization . 』It was a Skill that allowed her to crystallize objects or dispel crystallization . The moment she obtained the Skill, her blue dragon scales started to glitter, and it seemed she was able to use Crystal Breath .

Apparently, the『St.u.r.dy Teeth』Skill she got from an Earth Dragon was also working . Although she couldn't use other Skills when she became a dragon, it seemed Skills obtained from dragons worked and affected the appearance of Kazane's dragon as well .

Kazane:「The shocking truth: Skills can't be used while Dragonized!」

Yumika:「Umm, aren't you saying this a little late?」

Kazane:「Because I haven't used Dragonization, there wasn't the right timing to say it . I am reflecting . 」

Yumika:「Well, Dragonization's efficiency is too bad for small fry, and its offensive power isn't higher than Killing Leg, so it's not a good finisher against boss monsters . Speaking plainly, it's difficult to find a use, right?」

Kazane:「Well, that will also depend on future growth . 」
