Chapter 326 Part 2
《Those who challenge dragons are foolish》
《They challenge it because they are foolish》
《Those who resist death are also foolish》
《They hope to live forever because they are foolish》
《This is the Dragons’ nest and cradle》
《A place where no one can step into without the Dragons’ permission》
《If you defeat us, we will allow you to rest here》
By the way, what does the statue look like up close?
The design looks like multiple small dragons intertwined.
No way.
It can’t be.
There’s no way, right?
Stone Golem of Lesser Dragon ???
Event Monster Demon
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
A Lesser Dragon.
So it is related to the Dragons after all.
It looks like an actual Lesser Dragon
But it’s a Golem.
I wonder how it moves.
However, this wasn’t the only enemy that appeared.
It seems that it has some companions.
Pyro Chimera ???
Event Monster Demon
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
Dark Chimera ???
Event Monster Demon
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
Flash Chimera ???
Event Monster Demon
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
Lava Chimera ???
Event Monster Demon
Enemy Target Active
??? ???
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey!
W-w-wait a moment!
Aren’t these ridiculously strong opponents for me right now!?
Pyro Chimera…
I’ve seen one of those before.
A lion’s head in the middle, a goat’s head to its left…
And a bird’s head to its right.
And it’s definitely bigger than Shishiku.
No doubt it’s a higher rank than him.
The Dark Chimera has a bat’s head instead of a bird’s.
The Flash Chimera has goat heads on both sides..
The Lava Chimera has a small Dragon-like head instead of a bird’s.
There are 4 types of Chimeras here, and one of each.
Dangerous.
This feels very, very dangerous.
Although we outnumber them, will the numerical advantage really be able to make up for the difference in strength?
「True Fighting Spirit!」 「Breath!」 「Meditate!」 「Intelligence Attack!」
How strong is his enemy?
That I will not know… until I fight them.
That’s how it’s always been.
Volff is circling around them to try and keep them in check.
Telomere takes to the sky.
Senki is standing to my right.
Shishiku is on my left.
Goki supports us with his bow and arrow from the rear.
The arrow fired by Goki sinks into the Dark Chimera before us.
A direct hit.
It seems that the Dark Chimera’s HP has decreased to some degree.
So it was effective, huh?
Telomere unleashes a tremendous flame.
It pours down on all of those monsters.
It is working.
But the damage is only minimal.
This is dangerous.
This is really, really dangerous.
What spell am I choosing to use first?
It’s insurance.
But that was probably a good thing that I did.
「Dimension Mirror!」
All of these monsters are attacking us with their Breath attacks.
The four Chimeras…
And Stone Golem of Lesser Dragon too.
All of their attacks are repelled.
Even after being hit by their own Breath attacks, their HP bars won’t go down by more than 10%.
Especially the Dragon.
It seems like it won’t be as effective since it’s a Golem, right?
No.
This won’t do.
What’s next?
It’s that.
It cannot be anything other than that.
I attacked the Dark Chimera in front of you with my staff.
This is a battle that will be decided by the number of attacks.
I managed to fend off the attacks of its snake’s tail, but the bat’s head came at me.
I dodged that.
But then came the lion’s head.
I tried to catch it with my staff, but it got sent flying away from my hands as a result.
I don’t even have time to reach for the tonfa on my back.
I had no choice but to somehow overcome it with my bare hands.
You gotta make it in time.
Please make it in time!
「Great Swordsman’s Advent!」
My MP bar decreases significantly.
It’s cut by half in one go.
Something has started to happen.
As it should be.
But I don’t have the luxury to confirm what it is that happened.
All I can do is try to fend off the attacks of the Dark Chimera that’s in front of me.
Another Chimera comes from the left.
Is it the Lava Chimera?
This isn’t good…
Can I handle both of them?
Even if I retreat, they’ll most likely unleash their Breath attacks and other special attacks.
Won’t it be impossible for me to fend off any more attacks?
But the Lava Chimera doesn’t come this way.
Is it readying itself to pounce?
It suddenly took a crouching position.
No, it seems that its front legs have been severed.
And something else happened with the Dark Chimera that’s in front of me.
There was something that looked like a spear stuck in the base of the bat’s head.
The lion’s head and the goat’s head both turn away from me.
Is it trying to keep its distance from me?
No… Is it trying to run away?
??? ???
Heroic Spirit ???
??? ???
??? ???
Heroic Spirit ???
??? ???
??? ???
Heroic Spirit ???
??? ???
The Heroic Spirits stand in front of me.
There’s three of them.
Each of them has a green marker above their head.
And the numbers above those markers have started to count down.
300 remaining, huh?
There’s still plenty of time.
They made it in time.
I don’t know what kind of Heroic Spirits they are, but they made it in time.
Now it’s our turn to go on the offensive.
I don’t have a weapon in my hand.
No time to draw the tokkosho at my waist.
I have to eliminate the monster in front of me!
Forward.
Then I use my next move.
「Boosted Power!」
The Heroic Spirits have joined the battle.
I’ve played my cards.
So what do we do now?
We keep fighting.
That’s the only option!
I and one of the Heroic Spirits managed to take down the Dark Chimera.
I mean…
This Heroic Spirit is amazing!
His weapon is a spear, and its tip pierced through the Dark Chimera’s body effortlessly.
I’m dealing damage too, but the amount dealt by the Heroic Spirit was clearly greater.
No doubt.
But you know what?
I was the one who dealt the finishing blow on the Dark Chimera.
I wasn’t going to hand that over, even to a Heroic Spirit companion.
What does the Heroic Spirit of the spear user look like?
A samurai?
Maybe so.
His weapon is a cross spear.
And it’s quite long.
It’s impressive to see him use such a weapon so effortlessly!
Even though his physique is not that different from mine!
What about the remaining two Heroic Spirits?
One was dressed like a practitioner of Shugendo.
His weapon seems to be a short sword.
But his movements are extraordinary.
Fast like the wind.
Unwavering like water.
And yet, the number of attacks he unleashed against the Lava Chimera were so many that I couldn’t even follow them.
Just who is this Heroic Spirit?
He’s wearing a tengu mask, so his face is completely hidden.
The other one is fighting with a sword.
He looks like a monk.
What happened after he easily cut through the hind legs of the Pyro Chimera that Senki had knocked down?
His center of gravity is not shifting.
And yet the movement of his feet flows like water.
He immediately followed up on his attack, striking the lion’s throat with his sword.
He seems to take fewer moves than the Heroic Spirit with the tengu mask, though he still shows remarkable skill.
Oh no.
I almost feel like I want to become his apprentice.
I can’t let myself lag behind them.
I challenge a Golem shaped like a Lesser Dragon.
Wolf continues to act as a distraction, even though his HP bar has decreased.
I can’t let his efforts go to waste.
The spear-wielding Heroic Spirit follows me.
The Dragon’s mouth opens.
Breath…
A Breath attack is coming!
The tip of the spear sinks into its mouth.
As the name suggests, this Golem seems to be made of stone.
But the spear still pierced through it easily.
Stopping the Breath attack from being unleashed is more threatening than the damage it dealt.
How strong is this Heroic Spirit!?
I guess this is the last one left.
Stone Golem of Lesser Dragon.
It’s considerably tougher than the four Chimeras.
However, its HP bar is already below 20%.
Was this a complete dominance?
Thinking that isn’t wrong at all.
But the situation I had been worried about has finally arrived.
The three Heroic Spirits disappear.
Oh no…
We’re not done here yet!
Then shortly after the Heroic Spirits disappear, my Boosted Power also runs out.
This is bad, isn’t it?
No, let’s look at the bright side; now I can use spells again.
However…
The attacks of my Summoned Monsters, which have been effective until now, are becoming less effective.
The support from the Heroic Summoning was probably increasing our critical hit ratio.
Since the Heroic Spirits disappeared, the speed at which the dragon’s HP bar decreases has clearly slowed down.
Is this going to become a real showdown from here?
No.
We still have the numerical advantage.
This monster’s movements aren’t extremely fast.
And it seems that there won’t be any more Breath attacks coming our way.
I’ll steadily continue supporting the Summoned Monsters, as we chip away at the monster’s HP!
My MP bar is running low.
The cooldown time for Mana Potions should be over soon.
Can I somehow maintain my MP reserves?
And…
Can I finish this monster off before I run out of MP?
I won’t know until I try.
It looks like it’s going to be another long battle from here on out.
