Chapter 1019 The Black Dragon part 2
While Serafall was blankly watching the elite team slowly push back the Black Dragon, she suddenly felt a significant movement from the Dungeon. Though the movement was big, all it did was split Riveria from the rest of the team as she went straight towards the opening of the Dungeon.
Since there was really nothing else she could do aside from listening to the Gods' boring talks about the past and their children, she chose to reminisce about what Kisuke had said before coming to assist Riveria.

"Good timing. Sera-tan, do you mind if you go?" Kisuke asked while muting his communication device.
"I don't, but do you need me to do something else?"
Kisuke nodded, "From here on out is the territory of the unknown and I'm not really sure what's going to happen after the Black Dragon is defeated."
"Didn't you prepare for it? How did you prepare without knowing what was going to happen?"
At Serafall's question, Yoruichi couldn't help but smile. Nevertheless, she kept herself quiet.
Kisuke, as if Serafall was the abnormal one, looked at her strangely, "If I know what's going to happen then I wouldn't need to prepare and just tackle it normally. It's precisely because I have no idea what's next that I have to invent all the possible scenarios in my head and prepare a bit for each of those to give me a winning chance."
Serafall puckered her lips, "Forget I asked. So what exactly do you want me to do aside from fulfilling the request?"
"If something ginormous is about to pop out from the Dungeon, I'd like you to stop it, even for just a minute or two, enough for everyone to gain some distance for safety. Oh right, and please make sure they don't approach or attack Wallenstein-san while she's doing her thing."

'A big thing, huh... If I could only stop it for a minute or two, it's probably around Trihexa's level. If it has regeneration enough to rival that monster, I wonder how he's planning to defeat it. And what about that guy up in the sky acting like he owns this place? How is he going to react?' Various questions swirled inside Serafall's head causing her to have some apprehension.
'Thankfully, Sona and the others were able to retreat early. Even if I could already qualify as a Super Devil, I still can't be sure if we can survive this.'
An hour after the battle started and the darkness had already claimed the day, much of Orario was already destroyed. But among this destruction was the relatively fine elite team and the grievously wounded Black Dragon.
The elite team was shocked and so was the Black Dragon itself by how one-sided this battle had been.
It's true that the Black Dragon could be considered one of the strongest monsters that the team came across, but still not on the level of the corrupted Spirit that blocked their access to the depths of the Dungeon.
For the Black Dragon, it came as an extreme shock that this wasn't the usual surface dwellers that fought him the previous times. That's only natural as that's because the warriors that fought it in the past only gained their strength mostly through the Deities' blessings. It failed to take into account that a world would come where a blessing from up above is no longer a necessity.
The Black Dragon judged that the situation was not in its favor so it planned its escape. Although it still had an ace in the hole called the 'Spirit's miracle child', it'd rather not use it now, especially when it already came into an agreement with the corrupted Deity parasitizing the Dungeon.
With a plan in mind, the Black Dragon let out a horrific roar that released a shockwave that temporarily pushed back its aggressors and also asked for help from the Dungeon while letting out its last poisonous wind that was a hundred times more potent than when it initially released it.
"Everyone! Get back!" Finn shouted.
However, there were two individuals that didn't fail to see the opportunity when the Black Dragon suddenly unruffled its wings.
Braving the poison that could easily melt the flesh off anyone who didn't have protection against it, Ottar dashed towards it while clad in a thick orange aura that resembled a berserk boar.
With each of his steps increasing the weight of his war hammer on his hands, Ottar reached the Black Dragon that was about to take off and swung his blunt weapon under its belly, "HAAAAP!!!"
A deafening high-pitched sound rang out from the hit along with sparks that were sent outwards. The Black Dragon's scales and skin were impervious to most bladed weapons so Ottar chose to bring a war hammer to inflict internal damage to it instead.
As he felt the weight of his hammer in his hands increase multiple times, Ottar gritted his teeth and pooled most of his Ki into the path of his swing, sending the gigantic reptile flying straight upwards faster than it could fly.
The Black Dragon let out an intensely pained cry while its insides were uncontrollably churning. Fortunately for it, it was able to mitigate most of the damage by converting its fleshy insides into black goo. This is the reason why it was able to survive until now. Although it cried in pain, it wasn't disabled and was able to see a better chance of escape, if not for the white-haired, red-eyed Adventurer staring intently at it while his body was clad with arcs of lightning.
While up in the air and before it could even understand what was going on, a flash of light momentarily covered its sight for a second before it went dark. Another second later, it finally felt the pain that came from its remaining eye and let out another cry of panic. While it was not an irrecoverable injury like what had happened to its other eye, it was still the disappearance of one of its important senses. And another split second later, it lost the sensation of its wings.
From the outside perspective, Bell was standing on the ground with his Lightning Shift before disappearing and leaving a trail of lightning toward the Black Dragon.
Once Bell reached the Black Dragon, he first took out its remaining eye before moving towards its back and cutting off both of its wings as he understood that the Dragon was already trying to escape, 'I know that there's an agreement that Ais-san has to deal the final blow, but I can't let it escape and sow even more destruction in the future!'
With the conviction to end it all, Bell jumped off from its back and went up 50 meters higher than the already falling Black Dragon. As he reached the zenith, the arcs of lightning traveling through his entire body disappeared and were replaced by flames.
Bell clenched his teeth and gathered his Magic Power and Ki at a single point inside his body to ignite it. His skin instantly turned red and the specially-made clothes and armor that were very resistant to heat started burning. Soon, the flames began to change their hue, from red to blue.
Reorienting his body so that he'd fall head first, Bell gathered his blue flames under his feet before they exploded and propelled him downwards. With the unassuming dagger in front of him, Bell dived toward the Black Dragon as if he were a meteor that came from the sky to slay the terrible monster.
Everyone watching felt this scene very surreal and soon, the meteor went straight through the Black Dragon, punching a large hole through its abdomen in an instant.
