Chapter 23 – I Have Finally Become Really Strong! Evil Dragon Subjugation! Part 2

「ーthe strongest villager in the world.」

As soon as I finished speaking, the nails of Amanta’s both hands extended sharply.

It’s the same as cats where they usually hide their claws, which means she is in combat mode.

Then, I smile wryly at the purple drops dripping from the nails.

「I see. Rather than calling you a dragon, you are more like a poisonous snake. But you are supposed to be an evil dragon, so well, I guess they are that kind of existence.」

The drops dripped onto the ground.

Immediately, the grass within a radius of several meters rotted, and Amanta laughed happily.

「Ufufu. Hey, hey, Onii-chan? Onii-chan? Pretty roses have thorns, you know?」

「A rose… you look more like a carnivorous plant, though. I’ll get hurt if I get close to them, so if possible, I don’t wanna touch them.」

In fact, she looks like a gothic lolita around the age of 10.

If you show that publicly in modern Japan, you will get a lot of significance, in the police sense.

Then, 「KusuKusu」 Amanta laughed.

After confirming that Cordelia is behind me, she laughed heartily.

「Hey, hey, Onii-chan? Onii-chan?」

「What?」

「Onee-chan, you know? Onee-chan, you know?」

「So, what is it?」

「ーShe has someone she likes! Hey, hey, Onii-chan? Onii-chan?」

「…what?」

「Could it be? Could it be? Onee-chan’s crushーis Onii-chー」

No time acceleration.

The other party certainly looked like a little girl, but that’s just a matter of appearance.

She is actually a Loli Baba.

In other words, she is annoying.

Pulling out the sword that I carried on my back, I swung it down from above towards Amanta’s head.

「Kyahaha! Kyahahaha!」

Amanta happily dodged my sword attacks while laughing like she was dancing.

「Hey, hey, Onii-chan? Onii-chan? Where did you get such a sword? Where did you get it?」

She looks like a girl with bad foot habits.

First, it’s a low kick.

At the same time as I dodged that with a back step, she closed in with the same amount of space.

Next, is a high kick to my headーthen, as if just pretending, she changed the trajectory midway to be a middle kick.

ーIt’s a Brazilian kick.

She’s not bad… this blond gothic little girl.

「Guh…!」

My side was completely hit.

My internal organs shook at the shock… It’s rather painful.

ーSkill: Indomitable, activate.

I somehow managed to not fall down, and I returned the favor to Amanta with a horizontal swing with my sword.

Then, as if she was able to see where my sword would go, she gracefully dodged by a margin and smiled.

「Hey, hey, Onii-chan? Onii-chan? This sword you see, is perhaps… a very rare sword, isn’t it? It’s a strong sword isn’t it? So, it’s the kind of sword that a veteran hero would wield, right? Isn’t that right?」

Amanta continued while elegantly dodging my sword.

「But you see, but you see? Isn’t this sword a bit unsuitable for Onii-chan? Isn’t that right?」

Giggles and mocking laughter resounded in the forest.

There, Cordelia who is behind me held her own sword before saying,

「Lute? You’ve certainly become stronger… not only that, you’ve become incredibly strong. I understand that, and I think you are at the level where you can actually fight alongside me.」

「Well, thank you.」

「I respect you. After allーI am a hero who has grown to a certain extent… but you are almost in the same dimension as me. What did a villager have to do to get to this point… Seriously, a man like you…」

Then, Cordelia advanced her steps toward my back.

「Lute? Let’s do it together, okay? WIth the current me and the current you, even if it’s a disaster, there is nothing we can’t do.」

When I turned around, Cordelia was laughing happily from the bottom of her heart.

「Well, maybe you can defeat her by yourself… I originally thought you could do that. But, the opponent is out of the standard and is someone that can be counted as a disaster… And as expected, that’s unreasonableー」

Then, I just shrugged my shoulders.

「Me and you… fight the evil dragon together? Why?」

「Eh?」Cordelia’s mouth opened wide.

「…because I saw that battle just now? It would be unreasonable to make you fight her alone… It’s impossible.」

「I see.」I smiled wryly.

「Um, Cordelia?」

「Hm?」

After a short delay, I opened my mouth.

「ーI didn’t use Physical Strengthening in the battle just now.」

「…Huh?」

Cordelia froze.

「As I said, I was not using Physical Strengthening.」

Cordelia continues to freeze as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.

「…That is… What do you mean?」

「Physical Strengthening is the most basic and highest stat enhancement skill, right?」

「Yeah, that’s right, but…well, it’s a must-have skill for close quarters combat jobs, if a swordsman didn’t use it, it would be the same level as a magician not using magic… 」

「And, if you use Physical Strengthening, the stats required for close quarter combat will be doubled, right.」

There, Cordelia made an annoyed expression.

「Sorry, but I really don’t understand. So, just what do you mean?」

「Well, actually… We use a lot of enhancement skills, right? But for the sake of my training, I make it a rule to not use the most basic and obvious skill. In this case, it’s physical enhancement…」

Cordelia’s expression turned pale.

Well, I do know how out of the ordinary this actually is.

「Hey, you? Are you saying that seriously?」

「Yup, in other wordsーI will be twice as strong as I am now if I get serious.」

And then, without reading the atmosphere, Amanta happily ran up to me from behind.

「Onii-chan? Onii-chan? Didn’t you learn to not look away during battle? Didn’t you learn?」

ーPhysical Strengthening, activate.

All stats of Attack Power, Defense Power, and Evasion are doubled.

Everything around me started to seem to be in slow motion.

And, the attack I unleashed wasー

ーa back fist.

Her two front teeth were shattered, and Amanta, who was unable to react at all, awas blown backwards with tremendous force.

She crashes into a large tree in the forest, but her momentum doesn’t stop.

She involved more than 10 trees, destroying nature for about 20 meters.

Amanta puts her hand over her mouth in disbelief.

And as she sees her blood flowing endlessly… and coagulated.

10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds.

Finally realizing the situation, Amanta, still frozen, said,

「…huh?」
