Chapter 25
"Hey, what's that?!"
"Isn't that a dragon?"
"Eh, seriously? Is there some kind of event going on?"
People in the streets were confused by the sudden appearance of a dragon .
Watching the dragon fly through the sky, people's reactions varied from doubting their eyes to excitement from its existence . As for the dragon itself, it stared at the people on the ground for a while after feeling their gazes, then lifted his head suddenly to inhale a tremendous amount of air .
T-That's not a good sign .
I used [teleportation magic]instantly after witnessing the dragon inhale and teleported under its body .
Having inhaled enough air, the dragon fiercely turned towards the ground once again to spit out fire, but I kicked its jaw, turning his head the opposite direction before it released .
At that instant, a giant scarlet flame came out from its mouth leading to a fire pillar piercing the sky .
The flame made its way high in the sky and wiped out all the clouds nearby .
That was close . Who knows what may have happened if it was released towards the city .
I placed my hand on my chest in relief while using [wind magic]to stay floating in the air .
The people who were bustling not long ago fell silent after witnessing what had just happened .
"Kyaaaa!"
"What the heck was that?!"
"We will all die if such a thing was to strike here!!!"
Now they were getting confused in a different way .
Well, I couldn't blame them after what they had seen .
As I fell into thoughts, watching the situation in the city, the dragon made a terrifying roar and glared at me . Was he mad because I got in his way?
"Gyaaaaa!!!"
"Shut up . You're hurting my ears . "
I replied to the roaring dragon that was trying to threaten me . Then I used [wind magic]to create a wind blade and cast it toward my target .
After noticing the blade, the dragon used its wings to fly evasively and avoided the attack .
Not allowing it to run away, I continued to make more wind blades in quick succession and cast them in its direction, but it skillfully used its wings to easily dodge all of them .
I was impressed by the dragon's adept moves . Now It was its turn to attack as it released a fire breath at me .
"Wo, that's not good . "
I used [teleportation magic]and readily avoided the attack, but it continued to rapid fire its breath without giving me a chance to escape .
I kept on making use of [teleportation magic]and dodging the fire . A completely reversed situation from earlier .
As I continued to avoid its breath, I waited for the right time then teleported to its back .
The dragon was astonished by me vanishing abruptly and restlessly looked around the area .
"I'm here . You annoying lizard . "
The dragon turned toward the sound, but it was already too late .
I activated [body enhancement (medium)], seized the dragon's wings while clenching my fist, then struck it in the back with all my might .
"Gyaaaaa!!!"
The dragon was briskly blown towards the ground as it let out loud groans . However, it cleverly made use of its wings to halt the fall in midair .
"Gyaaaaaaaa!!!"
It flew back in front of me and let out a dreadful howl out of wrath .
It looked like it was having a difficult time breathing, so I guess I did damage it a little bit .
For it to endure this strike, it was not bad .
I was honestly impressed by the dragon's resistance to my body enhancement attack . The dragon started inhaling air once again . Again? Is that all what you can do?
"I'm tired of that already . "
When I teleported above its head, the dragon made an expression as if he was saying "Are you kidding me?!"
You just saw me doing the same thing earlier . You're not that smart, are you?
I was shocked by the low IQ of the dragon, though I immediately went back to using [body enhancement (medium)]in order to settle the fight .
However, this time, I didn't stop at that point .
My fist burst into red flames all of sudden .
"I won't let you off this time . Explosion fist!"
As my fist came into contact with the dragon, a huge explosion rose from its back .
"Gujyaaaaaa!!"
The dragon started falling down while writhing in agony .
This time around, it couldn't endure the hit and let its giant body strike the ground .
Did I beat it?
I watched the knocked out dragon to make sure that I had defeated it and noticed that it was still moving slightly .
It was still alive . What a tough guy .
Huh? So why isn't it flying back?
Trying to clear my doubts, I looked at the direction the dragon was facing and noticed four people standing there .
Seriously, there was somebody here?!
I swiftly teleported to save them from its next attack .
"Give it up . "
Immediately after teleporting, I smashed its crown with my heel . The dragon's head crashed into the ground, creating cracks all around the place .
I turned to check on how the four people were doing, only to see a face I knew very well .
"Eh? Karen?"
