Chapter 31: Calamity Dragon Part 2
The Calamity Dragon with a body crossing over 100 meters used floating magic to take off from the ground.
And the big frame of unbelievable size came heading towards us.
We also changed to combat stance.
The dragon dived towards us from the sky at a very fast speed.
It seems he’s using his big frame to trample us so he is increasing his speed.
A dive attack from a body over 100 meters would become a crater at the level of city-scale.
An appropriate fellow for the name of Calamity.
The girls strengthened their bodies in anxiety.
But there was no need for it.
Because the girls were in my “Protect” skill targeted persons.
Since I decided to protect them, it wouldn’t come to the point of disaster.
That’s why I gave instructions to Lucia to calm her down.
“There’s nothing to worry about. Receive his attack and stop it.”
What I told her.
But
“M-Master, but for me to stop an attack from such a big dragon is…..”
Lucia replied anxiously.
Can’t be helped.
“You’re fine since my skill aids you. But, there’s nothing wrong to be anxious being alone. This time I’ll help you as well, we’ll both do it how about it?”
When I said that her face became extremely happy as if the earlier anxious face was a lie.
“Together with master! Please let me do it!”
She came to cling to my back.
Sigh, she’s still a child after all.
No matter how prominent among the adventurer in the continent she is, in the end she cannot do anything if I’m not near her.
I’ll carefully raise her so that she will become a splendid lady.
Moresoever, right now she’s a beautiful girl but when she grows up she’ll be a peerless beauty that people wouldn’t be able to leave her.
The person who’ll marry the future Lucia will be a very happy person.
While I was thinking those things, I stroked her head while she was clinging to me.
“Aaah, Masterr”
Lucia was feeling good with a melted expression floating on her face and her ears were trembling slowly.
Sigh, you’re exaggerating.
But for some reason the other girls were looking at her
“Lucia-chan, how nice. To be spoiled by Masatsugu-san to that extent…”
“I’ll also try my best~ I want to feel like that~”
“I also want to be of help to Naomi-sama so he can do that to me…”
They were saying that one after another.
Fuumu, why are you all getting envious of her?
I didn’t understand it so I just shook my head.
Well, that’s not important.
“He’s coming, Lucia. Be ready!”
“Yes!!”
The weak figure from earlier was gone, she screamed with vigor and lowered her hip and started building up her strength to catch the Dragon’s nose-dive attack.
I don’t understand what wiped her anxiety to that extent.
“Well then”
I also to some extent took a pose.
It’s exactly what I said, it’s only to “Some extent”.
In the first place I don’t even need to make a pose.
No matter what posture I take I will be able to execute the highest attack or the highest defence, so having a structured pose is not necessary.
But, I did took one.
That’s because so that the girl won’t be able to feel anxiety.
Basically, if I stand upright then the girls would feel anxiety for nothing despite there’s nothing to worry about.
So that they wouldn’t feel like that, I acted out a pose.
Is there anything to worry about since I am the strongest here.
Like that before long the dragon’s attack has approached before our eyes.
It was a dragon nose-dive that utilized it’s huge body and gravitational force and he wore his magical power as well it was truly fitting of the name Calamity.
It was an attack that the shock from it that would normally erase the surrounding area or an entire city.
I saw his eyes glittered red with assurance of victory.
But,
“Guuuuuuuuuu, it’s hard… But I have Masters strength so I can hold out anything!”
“Wh-WHaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? Some beastkin girl like you!?”
“Fun, naturally”
I replied back.
It was just as I expected, Lucia did exactly as I hoped, and in the end the Calamity Dragon didn’t look like something from a nightmare.
Lucia’s status benefited greatly from my special skill, and stopped the dragon’s attack that would destroy a city with her fist.
When the two attacks crossed each other, a high crackling sound was heard and the clashing of two different attacks sent a violent shock that shaved off the surrounding rocks and the surface of the mountain. Naturally, it’s no problem for me and the girls, but for the Kingdom’s forces the after-effects from the battle would’ve annihilated them. By chance, I also saved them from that fate.
Both of their strengths was almost the same, the current state was in equilibrium.
Elin probably guessed this and decided to help her.
“I’ll aid you!”
She said that and began chanting her spell. freewebno vel.co m
Fumu, if this was normal it would’ve been a correct choice.
But, that’s why this time I
“Wait”
I said so and stopped her.
“What’s wrong Masatsugu-sama? At this rate Lucia-chan will…”
To the flustered Elin I just shook my head.
“Calm down. To an opponent of this level, originally Lucia alone would have defeated it. She can’t defeat it because she couldn’t put serious effort due to hesitation. But if a stronger enemy appears, then it would be troublesome. There’s nothing but for her to get used to actual combat and defeating her enemy.”
To my words Elin
“Amazing. Unlike us who are desperate infront of your eyes, you were forecasting the future.”
She said that and faced me with respect in her eyes.
The other girls aswell.
“To look after us so much~”
“Yes, the saviour is a very compassionate person. We are fortunate girls.”
Sigh, it’s not that much of a big deal.
It’s good to be considerate but I’ll be troubled over looking various other things.
If it comes to me then it would be like future prediction.
Right now such things are trivial. Moreover it looks like Lucia needs to bring out her full potential.
But for that to happen she needs a strong motivator.
For Lucia to do that what could she want?
As expected I cannot understand that.
In that case.
I should leave the choice to the person herself.
“Lucia, if you beat the dragon alone, I would grant any wish you have.”
That’s what I declared to Lucia who was in the middle of attacking the dragon.
Then, the effect was almost immediate.
Lucia’s ear stood up with a PING sound.
“Is that true, Master!? Whatever I can ask for is fine!??”
She said that with a facial expression like she bit the bait and asked for my validation.
This was positivity where you wouldn’t see in the usual obedient Lucia.
“Aah, yeah, that’s right.”
I somehow did it in a hurry but before I was able to take my words back I involuntarily nodded to.
“I did it! I want to get a kiss from Master! I will never lose!!!! HaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”
“He?”
“Impossible!? Abruptly her strength somehow doubled!??!?! This 10th rank to a girl like her!!!!!!!!!???? Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
“Oi”
But, my tiny voice got completely lost in the clash of their magical power.
Lucia abruptly increased the power in her fist, and broke through the rivalry with the dragon and pierced him.
The attacked went from his feet to the stomach, it even pierced through his skull, the nightmarish existence called Calamity Dragon was now split in half.
I see, somehow wanting to get a kiss from me made her go serious, and instantly killed the 10th rank Calamity Dragon.
Naturally, I knew Lucia could pull of this power.
But to think that would make her serious would be getting a kiss from me.
Well, this is acceptable. Lucia is still a child. Even if it’s on the cheek, she’ll be satisfied.
“Master!! I managed to defeat the Dragon. L-L-Lips, please kiss me in the lips!”
As she said that her face became bright red, and looked at me with moist eyes filled with expectation.
For the first time since I came to this different world I encountered a difficult problem for which I don’t know what to do.
