Ch.114 The Final Battle Between Underground and Sky Part 3

I kept my eyes on the eyes watching from up high, directed the battle, and kept firing...I wonder how long it had been.

Everyone's breathing is getting pretty rough.

That's because they've been running for a time that would be impossible without training in the dungeon.

But, maybe.

"Fuh, fuh...Haru-chan!"

"Just a little more and we'll be able to beat it."

"Just a little more, she said!"

"Understood!"

"Okay!"

[The small fry were defeated pretty quickly, but it's been 10 minutes since they're fighting that gigantic dragon]

[Small fry (a normal party would need a few minutes to kill one)]

[W-well, it's a monster by Haru-chan's standards, after all...?]

[There are only new species left now after all]

[Watching this battle makes me drenched in cold sweat, but somehow also reassuring that they will win]

[I understand]

Right now, I'm being carried by Lili-san.

My legs are dangling.

The first one to carry me was Ruru-san, followed by Emi-san...I was worried because she was breathing really heavily, but she held me quite stably so I just keep shooting at the dragon like before.

Emi-san got tired, so Lili-san took over and after a while...she was breathing heavily too, which worried me, but I got used to it, and just as I was about to run out of bullets, we finally managed to reach this point.

[Even though it feels reassuring, it's still a bit scary]

[I mean, the enemy's about the size of a 20-story building, you know?]

[I wonder how many stories tall it is if we include the tail...]

[It's a size I don't want to think about]

[Even a wrong dodge can flatten you]

[Well, they could use a wristband before that happens, since it's slow]

[Haru-chan will definitely aim for the weak spot]

[When it looks like the 3 of them would get hit by its attack, she'll aim for the body part that's about to hit them instead of its head.]

[But still, how could all the bullets hit while she was being carried while running?]

[Because she's a headshot loli?]

[That may be true...]

[If you don't think like that, you won't be able to do it because of the overwhelming difference in ability]

With this gun and nearly 100 bullets being used, it looks like I'll finally be able to kill it.

It was a lot tougher than it first appeared.

... This dragon, just how high is its level?

[Eh, wait, even though they're at a good point]

[What's up?]

[I thought my smartphone alarm was going off, but it's actually some kind of government emergency and my area had to be evacuated]

[Seriously?]

[Haa?]

[Oh, another breaking news report]

"...I think I can kill it with one more shot."

"Understood!!"

"Sniff sniff sniff!"

"Lili-san, you're too noisy."

"My apologies, Haru-sama!!"

[lol]

[Lili-chan doesn't seem apologetic]

Lili-san is a good girl though.

At least I didn't have to be as conscious of her breasts as with Emi-san.

But she keeps sniffing my neck in an incredibly loud voice.

"Then please stop when I give you the signal."

"Yes!"

The dragon is quite weak.

It was incredibly strong, and it would have been a real problem if it had been flying around freely in this ridiculously large space.

But it seemed like it was still something I could manage at my level.

Well, long-range jobs can ignore level to a certain extent.

That's the good thing about projectiles.

Also, I don't have to run by myself with this strategy.

...Well, I could have just run normally with anyone other than Ruru-san...because I would have felt guilty... since I'm a guy.

"Lili-san"

"Yes!"

"Emi-san and Ruru-san, please keep as much distance as possible."

"Yes!"

"Finally...!"

The dragon spits its weakened breath at Ruru-san and the others.

Aiming for that moment, I slowly pull the trigger.

Clink.

"This is it—it's over."

Bang!

"……………………………………."

"P-please fall down soon..."

"...Keep running, as expected..."

"……………………………………"

...Thud.

The dragon who had been standing up like a zombie just now.

Something the size of a skyscraper finally fell down.

[Did they do it?]

[Hey, stop it]

[But, Haru-chan has hit bout 100 headshots, right? If it doesn't fall...]

[That's right, if it doesn't fall, then even Haru-chan can't defeat it.]

[What kind of impossible game is that?]

[W-well, this dungeon is specially tailored for Haru-chan, so...]

"...We did it!"

"We've done it!"

"...Fuh...Ah, sniff sniff sniff..."

The three people who had been running around the whole time are now sitting down.

That's only natural, no matter how much their level and magical power increased, they still kept running away from that skyscraper sized dragon.

...I definitely feel like I couldn't have done this alone.

No, that was probably impossible.

"……………………………………"

But.

---I'm still being watched.

"...Haa, haa... What's wrong, Haru-chan?"

"……………………………………"

"Until it crystallizes... Fuu, we really need to be careful..."

"Sniff sniff...that's right."

[lol]

[Lili-chan is too honest]

[Haru-chan is so shocked she doesn't even look back]

[Those sullen eyes are great too...]

[I understand]

[But it certainly took a long time. The crystallization.]

[Do you understand why Haru-chan is wary?]

[But after fighting this much,]

"---GROOOOOOOOOO!!"

Tingling tingling.

A voice that makes your skin tingle.

[Huh?]

[You're kidding!]

[Hey, that one from earlier! You triggered the flag!]

[I didn't though!?]

[lol]

[It's not the time to lol, this is dangerous]

[I mean, how tough is it really...?]

[Can a monster with all its HP depleted move that far...?]

[The final breath may be coming]

[Run away!]

"...Everyone."

"That's a lie……"

"Ruru! ... Stand up!"

"...Even after taking 100 of Haru-sama's attacks... No, this is...!"

A roar so loud it vibrated the air.

It's noisy, but this is no time to worry about that.

...I have to shoot it first before it does anything weird.

Ka-chan ka-chan.

"Huh?"

[Huh?]

[Ah]

[Out of bullets?!]

[Oh, so Haru-chan, you were saving your bullets for this.]

[...That means the way to attack is...]

[No, there is one, but...]

……It can't be helped.

I put a gun in the bag, then take out a bow and arrows.

I'm in a hurry, so I'll just guess what it will be.

Time is important now.

I grab a few arrows, place them between my fingers, snap them onto the string, and pull them up.

[You can do it!]

[This is probably the last time, Haru-chan]

[Okay, it's still howling!]

[That must be the howling of a loser, Haru-chan!]

[Hey, if you say that]

...Hyung.

The 4 arrows I shot fly away.

It's extremely slow compared to a bullet.

It can gets swiftly swatted away by the flap of its wings.

But somehow, I feel like it just can't fly anymore.

With that intuition, I'm watching from the arrows' perspective as they are moving closer to the huge head,

"Just fall already!"

That's Ruru-san's screaming voice.

...You've had enough fun, No Name-san.

Let's wrap it up now, shall we?

I'm starting to get sleepy too.
