Chapter 134: Dragon Suppression
Chapter 134: Dragon Suppression
NgyaAaAaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
The little thing grabbing tight on my back is screaming loudly, but I dont plan on slowing down. After using Levitation1 to float with the propulsion from Move, Wind, and the explosive energy of Burn; Im practically like a small missile now.
Arytte is screaming non-stop, but I cant afford to lower my speed, so shell have to stay as-is. Rather, Im surprised that she hasnt bitten her tongue. Just enduring the air pressure is already straining enough for me.
While there was no one present where the magical tool was used, whats clearly the reason for the SOS is visible to my eyes even from afar, so I changed my course and headed there. What I saw was a large T-rex-like dinosaur. Its snout seems a bit sharper in comparison, but its practically a T-rex. Its scales are distinct, and are colored reddish brown, I suppose?
Urania! Kyaa! No!!
As I was closely observing it, I suddenly heard cries directly below me. I quickly shifted my gaze to what the dragon was heading for, and there I saw Urania down on the ground with an egg on her back. It cant be, Urania stole its egg? I immediately shook off that thought from my head, and flew towards Urania at full speed.
Wall!
I made it! Exactly as the dragon was just about to snap its jaws at Urania, I made a wall right in front of its snout, crashing the wall into it. Since I was in a bit of a panic, I prematurely lost my Levitation midair and landed painfully on my feet, but it seems like I dont have the time to care about this.2
GYUOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
While I did make the Wall in a panic, the T-rex-like dragon very easily crushed it with its jaws, and roared loudly to the sky. The trees, the air, and the ground trembled. The rippling vibration is grating on my body, but Id be troubled if it thinks that this is enough to intimidate me.
Lily, have you noticed? Hm? Ah, I noticed that too. Right, the sensing life essence thing, was it?
Arytte warned me about a certain presence, but this dragon isnt something I can fight without complete focus. To make sure that I wont get any interference, I suppose Ill have to ask for help.
Arytte, Ill leave that to you. This isnt really something I can split my focus with. In my opinion, you shouldnt have any problems with it either way, but sure. Thatll be 3 pies for the assistance. Thats pretty expensive. Got it, Ill bake you some later. Thats a promise, alright?
With this, I dont have to worry about any interruptions while dealing with that. Geez, first that annoying harassment, and now they do something like this? You cant expect me to not be mad. In the meantime, let me vent this anger
Out on you! GYAOOOOO!!!
I activated Burn and Wind in my right and left hand respectively, and released them at the same time. The air compressed by Wind is instantly combusted by Burn, creating an explosive burst. If I had to name it, itd be Explosion I guess? This attack aimed at its feet didnt seem to have pierced through the dragons scales but it should have done some damage, as the dragon shrieked, seemingly in pain.
Even as it shrieked, the dragon still charged onto us, so I carried Urania with the egg and jumped, avoiding the dragon with the use of Levitation. I left Urania on top of a tree for now and was about to head to the dragon, when Urania suddenly grabbed my arm.
Itll be fine! Just wait here! Dont! Dont hurt the dragon! It only wanted the egg back! Even if thats the case
Its unusual for Urania to plead like this. If possible, I would prefer to answer her request, but this dragon isnt something that I can deal with while holding myself back. Its not that I dont have any idea of how to do so, but Im a bit uneasy about my remaining magic power. Still, what Uranias saying is true, and even I dont like killing indiscriminately.
Fine. Still, I wont have enough magic power, so nmgh-!? Mwn Phwa! Is this enough?3 Y-yeah. Leave it to me.
Geez, now that Ive been paid in advance, I have no other choice but to give my all, dont I? My winning condition has changed from subjugation to capture, making the difficulty increase sharply. This is because of the dragons large amount of magic power, which would repel any magecraft and even magic if they are not loaded with sufficient magic power.
While the Explosion from earlier was made with magic power, the explosive force that it caused is a physical phenomenon, which is why it caused considerable damage; however, in the case of capturing a live capture, things will be incredibly difficult. After all, a regular Bind would just be repelled.
As I landed on the ground, the dragon moved to mow me down with its tail, so I crouched to evade it and drew near the dragon. Just thinking about coming close to something as large as this is already scary, but its extremely difficult to load magic power from afar, so approaching it is necessary.
First, I touched its hindleg, which is thicker than my own body. The dragon naturally seemed annoyed and tried to trample me, but I tumbled down to avoid it and came in contact with the opposite leg. At the same time, I activated Bind with the two places I touched as the origin, tying them together as though they were bound by a thread.
Whoop! GUOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
In addition to the synergistic effect of using two Binds, I somehow managed to have these stay without being repelled by directly charging them with magic power. From there, I successfully tripped the dragon. And then, I used Bind on its arms, mouth, and neck respectively, and continued on increasing the binds.
GUGYAAAAA!!! GUGOOOOOO!!!! Argh, geez! Stay put!
Even after using Bind on the dragon 10 times now, it still continues to rage on violently and its starting to exhaust me. If I lose my focus even just for a moment, itll likely tear off the binds; and no matter how much magic power I charge into these, the magic power gets repelled and leaks out. Its starting to get irritating Ugh, no, I cant, I promised Urania. Theres no other choice but to keep it up and have the dragon calm down this way.
Gragh! Enough already! GURUU
Unable to bear my growing irritation, I couldnt help but smack the head of the dragon with my magic power loaded right hand. Then suddenly the previously rampaging dragon immediately stopped moving.
Wai-, what? Hm, this is that. The dragons submitting to you. Ha? Dragons are prideful creatures but at the same time, they have the instinct of serving those stronger than them. How nice, youve made yourself a dragon companion. Hah!?
- Silva: oops, I actually read that as Leviathan for a moment there, no wonder I was confused
- Lyly: Ouch
- Lyly: Urania; actions first, discussion later
