Chapter 46 Saying "We did it" in the middle of a fight is a jinx .

Glaring at each other, the black dragon and I stiffened for a while .

Moments of silence went by . The mood turned awfully quiet and I kept vigilantly glaring at the dragon until he moved first .

"GYAAOO!!"

Howling, the black dragon turned around and used his tail like a whip to strike me .

"So fast?!"

Taken by surprise by his unexpected speed, I was somehow able to dodge by jumping .

I was feeling relieved after dodging the tail, but the dragon didn't stop and turned and opened his giant mouth while facing me .

"GYAA"

"?!"

Right when I guessed he'd fire his breath, the black dragon let out giant black flames .

I avoided the flames and instantly teleported near his face, then drew back my fist after wrapping it with a bright red flame .

"Bakuhatsuken!"

The moment my fist came in contact with the dragon's face, an explosion resulted .

Along with a blast spreading around the area, the black dragon bent backward .

Did I cause him damage?

I landed down and left a distance between me and the dragon .

Black smoke was rising from his face and he was about to lose his balance as he was groaning in pain .

It looked like there was some damage .

I was relieved, knowing that I could still give him damage, but that wasn't enough for the high ranked dragon .

"GYAAAAAOOO!!"

As I was feeling impressed by the hardness of his scales, the black dragon wrathfully roared .

He was really loud . My ears hurt .

I lightly covered my ears as he kept on roaring .

The dragon turned to face me again, inhaled air and started randomly firing his breath .

Looked like he had gone mad .

I calmly dodged all of his shots .

I avoided teleporting as much as possible to limit my magic consumption and kept dodging using only the minimum necessary .

Continuing to dodge his shots, I used [Parallel thoughts], rose my hands and concentrated on the dragon's crown . Thanks to the skill, I was able to manage it smoothly .

"Rock meteor . "

Following my chant, giant rocks appeared above the dragon's head all of a sudden . The rocks rained down on his back and head with a tremendous speed .

"GUGIAAAA??!!"

The ground shook from the shock, resulting in cracks around the entire area .

Almost as if he didn't know from where he was attacked, the dragon that was launching his breath everywhere raised a confused howl .

After he had roared enough, the dragon crumbled on the ground . I remained gazing at him for a while .

Did I defeat him?

"... I did it?... ah, no good!"

Muttering those words, I released the mistake I did . I shouldn't have said that .

Regretting what I said, I slowly looked back at the black dragon .

He wasn't wasn't moving at all .

D-Don't tell me he'd get up again...

Feeling a strange premonition, I kept on observing the dragon with precaution, when abruptly, his claws started twitching .

"GYAAAOOOOOAAOO!!"

With a terrifying howl, the black dragon vigorously stood up .

The ground started quacking due his great loud roaring .

Witnessing all of that, I blamed myself for saying those words earlier .

Let's not say that again... ever .

With a stiffened expression, I contemplated how to deal with the wrathful black dragon .

Not giving me a chance to think, the dragon started randomly firing his black flames almost as if he had lost his mind .

"GURUGYAAAAAA!!"

The released flames impacted the ground and reached the most distant places my eyes could see . He had really gone mad this time .

As the dragon continued to arbitrarily fire his flames, I kept watching it, hoping that he may run out of power and collapse on his own .

It would be really nice if he would destroy himself without me having to do anything .

Contrary to my hopes, I noticed one if his shots heading straight towards Lina .

Not being able to move quickly from the fear of the black flames spreading everywhere, Lina remained standing in the same place .

"Ku!!"

"Lina!!"

I swiftly teleported and carried Lina, who had closed her eyes and seemed to have given up, then avoided the shot .

"Are you okay?"

"A-Y-yeah, thank you . "

Lina thanked me for saving her while making an apologetic face .

"Sorry for forcing you to fight against the dragon alone..."

"It's fine . I'm the one who decided to fight . Anyway, do you know when he will stop?"

Looking at the raging black dragon from a distance, Lina replied to my answer .

"He will probably stop once he's out of strength, but that won't be anytime soon . "

Seriously? I guess it's impossible to wait for that time then .

"I see..."

"Do you have a plan?" Lina asked, noticing that I was disappointed .

"Well, I do actually have a plan, but I need more magic for that . "

Despite trying to save as much magic as possible, it was already about to reach a dangerous low after using the meteor skill and continuously teleporting .

I couldn't achieve my plan without enough magic .

Lina seemed to be thinking about something, then as if she had made a resolution, she turned to look at me .

"So you just need magic, right?"

"Hm? Y-Yeah . "

"Very well... Don't move . "

With me continuing to carry her, Lina wrapped her arms around my neck and embraced me .

I was baffled for a moment, but it didn't take long before I sensed something flowing inside my body .

Was this magic?

Feeling the magic flowing inside my body until the end, Lina let go of me .

She seemed both embraced and tired after that .

"I gave you all the magic I had left . You think you can do it now?"

"Y-Yeah, I should manage it with this amount . "

Relieved upon hearing my response, Lina nearly fainted .

"H-Hey are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm slightly tired because I ran out of magic . That's all that I can do to help you . Please defeat that dragon . "

I was feeling kinda touched by Lina's upright speech, and she smiled at me .

"I went all the way to give you my magic, so you'd better defeat it . "

"Yeah, leave it to me . "

I smiled back at Lina and said, "Rather, despite being against me carrying you in my arms you didn't mind hugging earlier . "

Lina made a blank expression at first, trying to figure out what I was talking about, but soon enough she turned completely red after realizing it .

"D-Don't be stupid!! I did that in order to give you my magic!! Don't misunderstand!! How long are you intending on carrying me like that? Let me off already!!"

I casually replied with "I get it, I get it," let Lina down and turned to face the black dragon .

"Let's settle this up now . "

Following my mutter, a strange of magic started emitting from me .

Red, blue, yellow, green, brown, black . Different magic elements mixed together flew out of my body almost like a rainbow .

"Y-You're concurrently using all of the six elements..."

Those were the words Lina spoke reflexively after witnessing the six colors surrounding me .

Parallel use of the six elements .

In other words, using fire, water, light, wind, earth and dark at the same time .

It's usually impossible to control six elements at the same time, but fortunately, [Parallel thoughts]came in handy in this case . I honestly wasn't expecting that much from this skill, but it looked like I need to consider it again .

The six elements surrounding me gradually increased in power .

Reacting to my magic, the raging black dragon suddenly stopped firing and looked at me .

Looked like he had noticed it; though, it was already too late .

"Musoufuuba!"

The next moment, six spears of various colors appeared above my head and leapt directly towards the black dragon .

The six spears struck the ground, making a hexagon shape with the dragon at its center .

"GYAAO!!?"

The black dragon let out a confused scream as his body shivered . He was probably trying to move, but he had already lost . once the thrust spears were linked together in the ground .

The spears started assembling magic in the heads and the black dragon couldn't do anything but watch what was going to happen .

The six types of magic mixed together, resulting in a sinister color . The black dragon saw that and finally took back his composure and admitted defeat .

Sorry, but I have no mercy . Die bravely .

The next moment, the sinister magic rained upon the dragon .

Along with a terrifying blast, the giant magic covered up the entire black dragon .

"GYAAAOOO—!!"

The dragon's scream was interrupted by the sounds of the explosion .

A few seconds later, the explosion disappeared, not leaving anything in its place . The dragon had literally turned to dust .

The only thing that was left was a giant, bottomless hole in the place he had been standing .

"Well, I think I went a bit overboard . "

The result was greater than what I expected .

Parallel thoughts .

"I didn't think that the [Parallel thoughts]skill would be this useful . "

"Well, it's indeed amazing to be able to do two things at the same time . "

"With this I can do my homeworks while reading a book . It's a really useful skill . "

"Wait, that means you can listen in class while sleeping too! Good for you Kamiya Yato!"

"No, that's impossible . "
