ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 446: Dragon, Oh Dragon! PART 23 Part 2
Critical Speed – Bradion – start! Step on towards the sky and take a step to accelerate! Let’s go!
My body started to slowly accelerate, and next thing I know it rushes to the maximum speed in an instant. The ground and the White Dragon approach me in the blink of an eye. Then I curl up a little bit while recovering some stamina in mid-air, get in the right position and…… There we go! Flying Kick! In your face!
「METEORITE FALL KICK – METEORITE AMENDMENT –…… A Three Digit skill! How do you like that!?」
「–––––– WHAT THE……!?」
But wait, there’s more where that came from! I bend my legs exactly together and I stick my knees forward! Now, if I remove them even slightly from this position, it will result in my instant death!
「But (I) won’t be killed that easily! I’m sorry for that!!!」
「HOGUBUEEEH!?!?」
The name of this technique is “Bombing Knee Strike – Zero Gravity Smite! – It bears a whole lot of risk in that if you hit with it something else than your desired enemy, then you are going to suffer a whole lot of damage due to the recoil, but if you do manage to land it correctly, you are going to cause a whole lot of damage over a wide radius!
Just like that my knees sink deep into the White Dragon’s side, who just happened to be leaning back ever so slightly with her head thrown back and about ready to use her own Dragon Breath technique. Because of that my body was blow away right after the hit managed to connect, leaving me without the satisfaction of being able to enjoy the feeling of landing a smooth critical hit just like that one.
Yeah, that’s right. For a while now I had only one HP left on me, and there are still four more steps to be applied before the effect of the Critical Speed wears off……
「Muh.」
The ground that I stepped on with both of my feet at once. The impact of coming from up above only to be ejected once more into the air from down below. My body is being launched just like a rocket would, and while my body is still being in the air I lose control of it and start spinning for a good while.
「Nuuuuuuaaaaaahhhhhh………… Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!?!?!?!?」
THUD!! The shock of crushing my head against the ground at full speed like that was so great that I think I might have actually lodged myself into the ground, just like a spear would. It must have been such spectacular of a sight as well that those who happened to witnessed it went completely silent for a moment out there, and the battlefield became perfectly tranquil.
And oh, hey! Well, if it isn’t Siegwurm? How do you do, my friend?
「…… This is a good moment to say “Cut”, don’t you think?」
「IS THAT WHAT YOU HUMANS PERHAPS CALL A SHAMEFUL MOMENT? LIKE EPOSING ONES UNDERGARTMENTS IN FRONT OF A HUGE CROWD OF PEOPLE?」
「Huh? Oh, y-yeah. I guess…… I guess that you might actually put it like that.」
I did not expect for the Unique Monster to say something like that to me. Was he trying to preach me some morals?
But then I had no way of actually thinking about it some more, because my spine snapped in half and I died as a result of that.
Also, when I happened to have respawned, there was a debuff of “Vitality drastically down for a certain period of time”. Unfortunately, my Vitality was garbage-tier from the very beginning, so it’s not that much of a demerit to me, I’m afraid.

「Sanraku-kun! It’s no fun excusing yourself on your own like that!」」
「Hey, at least the way I travelled in the air was kinda fun…… Like the letter “H”, don’t you think? Oh, and we are talking about a lower case letter “h”, I guess.」
That being said, at least it was not a mediocre way to go down. This may not have been what I wanted here exactly, but at the end of the day I have more or less managed to accomplish what I have set out to do. So it’s all good in my book.
「Well? Falling right next to Noirlind is somewhat inconvenient, but it would mean more or less that it will be all real-time battle from now on, right? So, everyone? Are you ready for this?」
「It’s now or never. Do or die!」
「Reconfirmation of one’s resolve sure is important, right? Is Emul-chan ready to go as well? I mean, that was one heck of a flashy way to go out.」
「Well, it was certainly better than having to fight some overgrown spiders. Or getting shot like a cannonball at some really creepy centipedes. But still, I would not want to repeat something like that if I had a choice in the matter!」
「Well, as much as I would like to know where you can fight monsters like that, I guess it will have to wait for the time being…… Oh well, Sanraku-kun respawned, and Sigma-chan is here as well…… For the time being, the whole Guild is going to commit their best efforts to fight Siegwurm!」
The rest of the travelling wolves respond with enthusiasm and the situation across the battlefield begins to move once more.

「E-Miria! One of our dear costumers seem to have gone down! What should we do? Are we doing this? Or are we not doing this?」
「Let us see what is going on, first. If we do not distribute the new buffs tailored under the White Dragon’s characteristics, the frontline may as well collapse due to not nearly enough physical firepower.」
「Yeah, but what do you actually mean by that?」
「It’s a real shame that we had not nearly enough time to equip the Skull Azuchi Castle with those offensive weapons that we initially wanted to have installed.」
「Huh! I never would have thought that the day would come when my best friend will turn into a bloodthirsty warmonger like that! But I still love you all the same! And I’ll follow after you to the depths of hell if I had to!」
* * * * * *
「Mumuh! For now, Akitsu Akane managed to come down safely, so that would mean I am to sit down as well……? Yeah, this is going to be our very first meeting, but I would never expect it to happen because of some lizards! Now, Akitsu Akane-dono, it’s time for a visit!」
* * * * * *
「Ahahahahahahahaha! Pupupupupuh!!! Oh my gosh, now my stomach hurts like hell! Did you see that! He flew diagonally above my every expectation at a speed of sound! You are truly a sight to behold, Sanraku-kun! I knew it! You are the best around in here! Hahahaha!!!」
「But…… Wasn’t that strange to you? He did not use as many skills as he would have used in a situation like that. …… And Sanraku has a whole bunch of mobility skilsl up his arsenal. So, did he chose to not use them……? Or was it that he could not use them for some reason……?」
「………… Fuhn?」
* * * * * * * * *
「Haah…… And now I’m bored……」
