ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 444: Dragon, Oh Dragon! PART 21 Part 2
「There is no actual need to take actions as extreme as that. At the current moment, a similar strategy is being presented by the individual name Mold: if we make more and more people stand out from amongst the crowd, it should naturally force Siegwurm to come down to the ground on his own.」
「Nice Operators. I see that Sigma is not the only one on here who excels at this whole Intelligence thing.」
「…… Fuhn.」
In return for such words of praise, the moment after that a series of consecutive sniper shorts started to climb their way towards Siegwurm from the ground.
「…… Akitsu Akane, I going to go towards Siegwurm. Can you buy me some time for me to do that? A diversion, perhaps?」
「Right! Leave it to me! Noirlind-san! I shall leave the offense in your capable hands!」
「I CAN’T MAKE ANY PROMISES, BUT AT LEAST I WON’T ALLOW THIS GOLDEN BASTARD TO SHAKEME OFF ANY LONGER!!!」
Akitsu Akane then jumps off Noirlind’s back and Rust manages to catch him without any issue. Hwoever, since the current Suzaku has a form it does, there was no other way for Rust to carry Akitsu Akane around by holding onto his arms and letting him dangle in mid-air. It was risky, but it was still better than nothing.
「…… Now, listen closely, Akitsu Akane.」
「Yes! What is it!?」
「I’m going to try and put you on Siegwurm’s back. It may be quite the bumpy ride over there, so try to do your best as to not bit off your tongue while we are being at it, okay?」
「Right! Understood!」
* * *
「I admit that my own intelligence is extremely good and useful, but I think I’m willing to give back some of that praise to you in this situation.」
「Yes, yes, yes. Very intelligent. Very intelligent. That’s just oh so very intelligent of you. I have nothing but praise.」
I don’t know what it is in particular that Rust was praising out there, but if you praise it too much, it will start to be annoying very quickly here. So please give it a moderate amount of praise, otherwise we would need to have a rather serious conversation about it.
However, in addition to the support sniper from the ground, as long as Nephilim Hollow’s strongest player wears the Suzaku armor that is so similar to her favorite machine, it should be fine. She may not be able to win this on her own, but she should be able to hold her ground just fine.
「So what about the other dragons?」
「Hmm…… After all, the one that is mostly targeted right now is the Red Dragon, right? But since it went towards the White Dragon for protection, I’d say that the speed at which its health is going down should slow down, right?」
「Ah, that’s right. Breaking news, everyone. It seems that both the Red Dragon and the White Dragon entered some sort of berserk mode.」
The Red Dragon Red Howl started to spew out flames from the protrusions on its back, and from every limb. And the White Dragon started to spawn even more small dragon, but this time around they looked even more twisted and mutated than ever before. So, it has come to this, huh?
Whoa there, dragons! I have already seen that song and dance before with one of your companions, so it’s actually nothing all that new here!
「No, it’s more like a replacement, it would seem. Or maybe it would be more accurate to actually call it a reflection?」
Hmm…… Could it be something similar to the way in which the Great Red Devourer was covering the battle arena with puddles of its own red flesh? Somehow, this whole thing reeks of backward compatibility…… Or could it actually be a forward compatibility? It’s honestly hard to tell at this point in time.
「Red Dragon Red Howl and the White Dragon Bryileinego…… Either way, it feels like it’s just a matter of time before it happens.」
「Hmm…… I wonder about that myself?」
「Oi!? Is there something to be concerned about here or not!? Or could it be that you are still trying to hide some information from us!? Is that it!?」
「Hey! Stop shaking me! Stop shaking me, god damn it!!!」
This whole situation reminds me of the battle with that primordial raid monster. When it was cornered, it went underground…… Or just like Weissash put it, it connected to its main body. So in a sense it was something that could have been called its final form.
Certainly…… The solution should lie right there somewhere? And then I remembered something that was connected to the announcements that were coming in……
「Gravekeeper Wezaemon’s Centaur Mode and Kutanid of the Abyss’s Imagination Mode…… I guess it is pretty safe to assume that each and every one of the Unique Monsters have what we call a final firm. So going by that logic, would it not be safe to assume that the Colored Dragons must have something that is really similar to it?」
The answer became more than clear enough in the next moment, when there was a very apparent change that started to happen to the Red Dragon’s whole body.
「GOD DAMN IT!!! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! FUCK! FUCK!! FUUUUCK!!!!!! DIE!!! DIEEE!!!!!! DIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! YOU PATHETIC INSECTS!!! I AM GOING TO SLAUGHTER EAC AND EVERY SINLGE ONE OF YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!」
At that exact moment, a system window was displayed in front of all the players currently present on the battlefield, and a chain of small letters started to appear one after another.
「THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BODY OF THE RED DRAGON RED HOWL ENTERS THE STATE IN WHICH ITS LIFE IS IN DANGER.」
「WARNING! WARNING! DISASTER CONDITIONS HAS BEEN MET! ENGAGING HAZARD MODE!!」
At that moment, a singular crack ran through Red Howl’s entire body. And what peeked from within that crack was waves of flame and fire, accompanied by the swelling of the red body and a scream so loud and so agonizing as if the Red Dragon was no longer able to contain his own power and was suffering tremendously because of it.
「What the hell!? A Self-Destruct attack……!?」 Give me a break!」
「No, no it’s not that! This is……!!」
「A Breath-type attack! It’s a Dragon’s Breath!!」
At the current moment, the Red Dragon Red Howl’s fiery gaze was locked solely onto the Skull Azuchi Castle. Could it be that the beast had realized that it was this particular facility that has been the cause for its current predicament? Or could it be that it realized that this is the base for all the players gathered here for this battle……? But whatever it was, the fact remained that the Red Dragon was advancing towards the Skull Azuchi Castle without fail.
「“GREAT SPRAY – VOLKEVILLEeeeeee”!!!!!!!!!」
Red Howl’s body started to swell and grow, to the point where there were series of cracks and fissures starting to appear all over its body. But then it started to contract rapidly, all in the span of one moment. Just then, there was a huge spray of black-red flame coming straight out of its mouth, rushing through the sky and burning everything in its path ot ash, even the very atmosphere.
And surely, just as expected ––––––
