“And if that thing does as it pleases, Encartón will have no future either. That’s why we should join hands and protect this town.”
This man needs Encartón’s technology to make his prosthetic arm.
If the town is destroyed, it’s over at that point.
So he chose to take the offensive…
That attitude, unbefitting of a nobleman… I don’t dislike it.
“…What should we do?”
“Tell me the magic dragon’s current position. And though it may already be in motion, I’d like you to protect Yueri. She might be our trump card.”
“Understood. And I have one proposal from our side as well.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“I have a magical tool I made specifically for the magic dragon in the past. I want to launch it, so please attack simultaneously. We might be able to wound it.”
“The timing?”
“I’ll let you know through this communication device. Ask the operator about the magic dragon’s position from now on.”
“Heh… As expected of Encartón. You have a magical tool for everything.”
Saying this, Ouga Vellet puts the communication device I handed him to his ear.
With this, our counterattack preparations are complete.
“Now then, let’s send this rowdy magic dragon back to its nest.”
Having secured cooperation from Encartón’s side, I was standing on the roof of a house that provided a full view of the magic dragon, following their guidance.
Mashiro and Alice were beside me, while Karen and Reina were set to participate in the attack from a different location.
[This is the command center. The magical tool we discussed — the Dragon Crusher — is ready to launch.]
“…Like father, like child, huh.”
[…? Did you say something?]
“No, it’s nothing. We’re ready on this end too. No problems here.”
[Understood. We’ll momentarily restrain the magic dragon’s movements with a simultaneous attack from the fortress. Launch your attack at that moment.]
“Roger that.”
After finishing my reply, I gaze at the magic dragon a little ahead of us.
“… It’s big enough to be clearly visible even from here.”
Even if ten of me lined up, we might not match its full length.
No wonder a village or two could be easily destroyed if such a monster rampaged freely.
“… Ouga-kun. I can really blast it, right?”
“This is the only way for humans to fly. Imagine me jumping over the magic dragon. Alice, I’m counting on you as the launching pad.”
“Yes. I’m already prepared.”
The sword she held was tightly tied at the guard with a string to prevent it from being drawn from its sheath.
“Sorry for using your precious sword like this, Alice.”
“No, I am Ouga-sama’s sword. If I can be of use to Ouga-sama, I can only rejoice, never refuse.”
“Heh, I’m truly glad you’re here. Mashiro, after I fly, distract its attention. I’m counting on you.”
“Leave it to me. I’ll hit it with something so big you won’t even need to take the stage.”
She confidently declares this, now able to use more types of magic than before.
Really… what reliable companions.
As Mashiro concentrates for her incantation, I was also preparing myself to dive into the dragon’s reach.
“… It’s begun.”
Iron balls fired from the magic cannons mounted on the fortress simultaneously assault the magic dragon’s body.
We can’t expect much damage.
But if we can distract it even a little, that’s enough!
[Dragon Crusher Missile — launching in five seconds!]
“Alice!”
“Good luck!”
As Alice swings her sword high, I jump to ride on its blade.
Feeling my weight, she makes a full swing.
“Mashiro!”
“【Wind Booster】!”
And as I’m thrown into the air, I receive a blast from Mashiro’s wind attribute magic, accelerating all at once.
The distance to the magic dragon shrinks rapidly, but my speed hasn’t dropped yet.
“【Limit Transcendence Gear Change】”
I strengthen my body by circulating magic power throughout.
Since using 【Gear Change – Strong】 would be a repeat of last time, this is the maximum output I can manage now.
The cylindrical object flying from the opposite direction — that must be the magical tool, Dragon Crusher Missile, that Dude Luludahn used to repel the magic dragon.
If that’s a magical missile, then I’m a human missile.
If we attack to crush your body from both sides, what will happen to your body?
“Well, let’s test it out!”
Arrows of water and lightning spread out above the magic dragon. The contrast of blue and yellow covers the sky.
“【Thunder Arrow】!”
“【Aqua Arrow】!”
And so, the disturbance by Reina and Mashiro’s magic began.

[GRUUOOOOOOOO!]
The magic dragon doesn’t avoid them but takes a stance to intercept.
Its attack method isn’t limited to the big technique 【Destruction End Breath】.
Its mouth glows red, and then scorching flames are shot out, swallowing up the two’s magic arrows.
However, the second and third arrows were already prepared.
“If twenty-four isn’t enough… next is double! 【Thunder Arrow】!”
“This time I’ll hit you! 【Aqua Arrow】!”
While before it was just in the sky, this time ninety-six magic arrows appear surrounding the area around the magic dragon.
[GAAAAAAAAAAA!]
The magic dragon spins once in place, trying to repel them with flame breath again.
The result is a repeat of earlier, but we succeeded in keeping it in this place.
Moreover, its attention is drawn to the two’s magic arrows appearing in the sky again.
“That’s far too careless, Mr. Magic Dragon.”
Using 【Dmagic burial】, I take utmost care not to receive damage from the magic aftereffects.
The scales that look hard from afar finally approach before my eyes.
“Hm…? This is…?”
This guy, there’s a part where the color has changed as if burned by something.
A clearly visible scar.
Did something happen before it came here? But this is a good opportunity.
I’ll hit you without hesitation…!
“【Dragon Hammer】!!”
I pull back my left arm greatly, and strike at the same time the Dragon Slayer Missile hits!
An explosion that could rupture eardrums.
I’m thrown into the air by the shockwave when the Dragon Slayer Missile hits, but this was expected.
Rather, it feels good!
[GRAAAAAAAA!!]
I can clearly see our attacks affecting the magic dragon!
The strong impacts from both directions collide inside its body, creating an even stronger shock.
Green blood overflows from its abdomen, raining down on the town.
“【Thunder Sword Dance】!”
If we inflict wounds, the damage from magic increases too.
Reina’s lightning attribute magic hits directly, slowing the magic dragon’s movements.
“O spirit of water. O spirit of wind. Take my magic power as nourishment and grant me strength.”
Mashiro’s chant, filled with magic power, rises to the sky, causing an ominous vortex to form above.
The sound of air freezing with crackling noises grows louder and louder.
“Pierce the earth, bring forth the terror of the sleeping age! 【Frost Hurricane】!”
A storm of cold air that freezes everything it touches is released from the sky towards the magic dragon.
There’s a limit to what scales can protect. Starting from the exposed wounds, it freezes over, and the flowing blood forms the trunk of an ice tree rooting into the ground.
Even if the magic dragon tries to escape, it needs to remove the ice that has already crept inside, and every movement brings pain, slowing its actions.
Alright, it’s working! If this continues, we can do it!
“Alice!”
“—Yes. I clearly heard Ouga-sama’s voice calling for me.”
As I fall with the power of Mashiro’s magic wearing off, Alice jumps up using the ice tree as a foothold, intersecting with me.
The seal that kept her sword in its sheath has been undone, and she takes a stance for iaijutsu.
Now it’s my turn to deliver her to the magic dragon.
“Go get him!”
The moment I feel her weight on my outstretched arm, I swing up with all my might.
Alice’s deep breath as she faces the magic dragon head-on is audible even to me.
“Control over one’s breath is not your exclusive privilege. Let me show you the sharp strike unleashed from a state of complete relaxation and focus.”
By the time a sharp metallic sound rang out, Alice had already finished her draw.
“—【Flash Blade】”
[RUUUAAAAA! AAAA……A, A……]
The magic dragon clutches its slashed right eye and thrashes about in place.
Its cries gradually grow quieter as pain assaults it from all over its body, until finally they can no longer be heard.
“W-We did it!”
“We… we defeated the magic dragon!”
