Dragon-man form Dragon New.
(竜人形態ドラゴンニュート)
It was when dragons got serious. It was a battle style they only showed when they fought with all their might.
When a dragon’s huge body shrinks to human form, its power is condensed to the limit and both power and speed are dramatically increased.
‘I knew he’d come out……but he has quite an unbearably intimidating feeling! He is clearly more powerful than before!’
Facing Fernigesh in human form, Raidorl felt a cold sweat running down his spine.
Although he has a smile of composure on his face,in reality, he is not in a situation where he can smile.
Although it is no longer a huge body, its power is rather increased by being compressed into a humanoid form. With the target being smaller, there was no doubt that Raidorl was at a greater disadvantage than before.
‘The real terror of the dragon is when it takes human form. That woman I once met… was the same, but it’s an oppressive feeling that makes your blood freeze’.
(I assumed this woman will be in the LN)
“【Melt to the bone, Death Crow】!”
“Tsk..!”
Raidorl dodge sideways and avoided the sharply swung claw.
Instead, claw marks are carved into the rocks behind him, but the…..rocks melted and liquefied in an instant.
If it is taken seriously, instant death is inevitable. It was a blow of terrifying power.
“Gah!”
“Acid breath again? You spit it out like a fool!”
In addition, when Raidorl was wary of the claw attack and kept his distance, the dragon spat breath from its mouth.
The dragon has learnt from the fact that it had just twisted the whole space back at him.? It blows its acid breath in a diffuse manner over a wide area.
‘But the……change has also reduced its power. If you wear a miasma, I can’t take damage ……!’
“Ggaaagh!”
“………..!”
Fernigesh popped out of the acid breath.
Apparently, he did not aim to damage Raidorl, but used it as a distraction to close his istance.
Claw blasts covered in strong acid are fired at Raidorl. A direct hit would inevitably cause heavy damage, even with the miasma.
“【Solar Eclipse Sk?ll】!”
But of course, even Raidorl will not receive the attack without resistance.
The slash that twisted time and flew out of the void bounced off the claws and deflected the attack that should have hit him.
“Fu!”
And with a return blow, this time Raidorl unleashes a slash.
Dáinsleif blow tries to slash Fernigesh’s neck.
“It’s warm!”
“Tsk ……!”
Fernigesh bites the holy sword and catches the slash with his fangs.
Fernigesh tries to block Raidorl’s movement and attack with his claws, but….. Raidorl kicks his opponent in the jaw as if scooping him up from below and retrieves the bitten holy sword.
“You …… may die, human!”
“You can’t kill me… bastard lizard!”
The deadly struggle between Raidorl and Fernigesh continues.
Fernigesh’s claws are blocked by Raidorl with his holy sword, and Fernigesh? blocks Raidorl’s slashes with his claws and fangs. If Fernigesh shoots a breath from his mouth, Raidorl? shoots a miasma from his holy sword to counter it.
The tightrope walk between the two sides was difficult to settle.
Fernigesh has a slight advantage in power and speed. However, Fernigesh, a……dragon species, has little combat experience against equal opponents due to its overwhelming power.
Raidorl, with its superior experience in actual combat, skilfully defended against Fernigesh attacks and did not allow itself to be attacked by his forceful attack.
The two sides appear to have equal strength.
It seems unlikely that the battle will be settled at this point.
‘I wish there was some chance to turn the tide of the battle…..Use, holy armour?’
A strong acid claw comes towards his face. Raidorl considers whether he should use his trump card while avoiding the attack by keeping his head low.
If he activates the Holy Armour, he will be able to overturn the balanced battle situation. If the two sides are evenly matched in strength, he should almost certainly win.
‘If my power is depleted here, the war against Osman could be disadvantageous. It might even be necessary to postpone the invasion of Athena. I didn’t want to use it if possible….’
But if Raidorl is defeated here, everything will be over.
There is no point in thinking about the battle ahead. If he dies, that’s the end.
“It can’t be helped. Should I use it after all………Hm?”
“Split in the fog ――【Water-blade aqua slash】”
But the blow that turned the tide came from an unexpected direction.
The water blade slashed across Fernigesh ‘s torso in an exaggerated manner. Fernigesh? jumped backwards at the sudden attack.
“Ggh ……this attack is ……!”
“Your Highness Raidorl! I will fight too!”
“Neferte……!”
Before he knew it, Neferte was standing behind Raidorl.
“I can’t stay on the sideline……I was chosen by the Holy Sword too! I can’t be trembling in fear at a place like this!”
Although Neferte’s face is still pale from the dragon’s intimidation, he is holding the dagger Mistilteinn firmly in place. The tip of the dagger was stoutly pointed straight at Fernigesh.
“You’ve conquered your fear…….Well done! It was worth bringing you all the way here!”
The boy’s resolve made Raidorl smile in satisfaction.
A warrior who does not feel fear is just a mad warrior. Only a warrior who has conquered fear can be called a true hero.
The young holy sword-bearer, Neferte Athena, was indeed climbing the steps to heroism, albeit step by step.
