Chapter 251: Magic of 4th Level
TL : Cnine
ED/PF :
Part 1
Dozens of dragons unleashed their flame breaths at the same time.
The flame waves rushed across the ground, spreading rapidly. The insect-like monsters on the surface had no time to escape and were engulfed by the fire, turned to ashes.
The insect-like monsters in the sky swarmed together and charged toward the dragon.
Most of the insects were burned to ashes by the "Flame Barrier", but the higher-ranking monsters managed to break through and clung to the dragon’s back and wings.
Even the Ancient Dragon lost its balance from this assault and began spiraling downward in a tailspin.
As the dragon crashed violently into the ground, it lifted its head painfully. The insects on the ground swarmed eagerly, rushing to attack the fallen dragon.
Furthermore, the tree monster, 【Kalpavriksha】, extended its roots into the air, wrapping them around the dragon's legs and tail as it tried to fly back in the air.
A single root would be burned away, but that wasn't the case when many Kalpavrikshas worked together to create a "bundle" of roots to drag the dragon back to the ground.
Even the dragon could not resist those combined forces, as it was pulled by numerous roots and slammed into the ground.
The other dragons were no exception. Dozens were similarly brought down to the ground and swarmed by a massive horde of insects.
However, the Ancient Dragon would not go down without a fight.
Letting out a piercing roar, it spewed intense flames from its entire body, incinerating the surrounding insect-like monsters.
Furthermore, it unleashed a scorching breath from its mouth, engulfing the Kalpavrikshas and other monsters in raging flames.
One red flash after another streaked across hundreds of meters in an instant, annihilating the swarming insects in its wake.
The insects, in turn, relied on sheer numbers. No matter how many were slain, they never ceased their advance, and finally, they succeeded in killing the ancient dragon.
However, the number of insect-like monsters sacrificed for this feat had well exceeded sixty thousand.
Still, the insects only grew more and more ferocious, swarming the dragon that laid on the ground. Even as their bodies were scorched by flames, they clung to the dragons, inflicting damage over time.
The Ancient Dragon let out an agonizing scream.
Just as it seemed the Ancient Dragon would collapse from exhaustion, flames rained down from above.
The surrounding insects were incinerated, freeing the ancient dragon, which raised its head. It was cover fire from the other ancient dragons soaring in the sky. The area erupted in flames, but the fire-resistant dragons remained unscathed.
The ancient dragon then gathered flames within its mouth and unleashed them in one powerful breath straight ahead.
The breath instantly incinerated the Kalpavriksha and other monsters in its wake.
The fierce battle between the dragons and the insects continued, and after dozens of minutes, over ten million insects had turned to dust and vanished.
And the dragons were also too exhausted, with most of them perishing.
◇◇◇
Yuuma flaps his wings and flies at high speed.
Yuuma had thought he could fly faster, but the【Green King】 kept up with equally terrifying speed.
He then summoned a tornado, riding upward with it. And descended at lightning speed while matching the raging air currents.
---So this is what it means to control the "wind".
--- No wonder they could easily dodge my flame breath.
Yuuma launched a compressed fireball, but "Vacuum Barrier" altered its trajectory, sending it flying in another direction before exploding in the sky.
The nearby insect-like monsters were caught in the blast and blown away, but the 【Green King】 remained completely unscathed.
The Green King also flaps its wings and releases countless "Wind Blade" towards me.
Each strike carries an unimaginable level of power. The "Flame Barrier" was breached, and the attacks reached Yuuma's body.
However, the "Wind" was deflected by the dragon's outer shell and dispersed. His current body was not only that of the 【Red King】, but also a metallic body.
It might be the effect of Yuuma's 【Wind Resistance】 ability activating as well.
If that was the case, Yuuma had a massive advantage in terms of defense. Even if he took the other party's attacks head on, as long as he could land a single blow――
At that moment, the fireball fired by Yuuma struck the【Green King】 right from the front.
「―― Gotcha!」
He was sure the fireball had hit directly, but as the overwhelming flames and smoke cleared, his joy turned into disappointment.
The Green King was still floating in the air, unscathed.
--- Dammit...
Indeed, the Green King had layered multiple "Vacuum Barriers" to protect itself from the flames and explosions. Surprisingly, the wind magic that was supposed to have bad compatibility with fire magic could suppress the latter.
Yuuma grit his teeth in annoyance upon seeing that.
If the battle turned into a battle of attrition, the time for chimera's transformation ability would run out first. He hadn't tested it many times, but it should revert in about thirty minutes. There was no time left.
When he was thinking about that, the 【Green King】 made its first move.
It created several "vacuum spheres" around its body. The spheres were compressed and took the shape of thin ice pillars. A chill ran down Yuuma's spine the moment he saw those ice pillars.
The ice pillars fired at once toward Yuuma.
The ice pillars didn't fly straight either. They flew randomly before charging toward him at high speed.
It might be the combination of wind magic of the 3rd level, which manipulates wind freely, and the wind magic of the 2nd level,【Vacuum】.
Yuuma deployed the "Exploding Barrier" to counter it, but the ice pillars pierced through the barrier and struck the dragon's scales, causing them to shatter upon impact.
――OUCH!!
His eyes widened in shock. The ice pillars pierced through the barrier and inflicted damage.
He quickly flapped his wings, trying to dodge the ice pillars, but the ice pillars changed their course like homing missiles and struck his back directly.
――Gah!? Dammit!
This time, piercing sharp pain ran through his back.
It was a powerful attack. Incredibly powerful. Yuuma thought he could win the fight without a hitch using the power of the【Red King】.
Yuuma conjured countless fireballs around him, detonating the ice pillars that came into contact with them.
However, he couldn't block them all, and a few ice pillars hit his body. Yuuma's face twisted in pain.
For some unknown reason, Yuuma couldn't use healing magic when he was using metallization.
If the damage continued, he would be cornered bit-by-bit. The【Green King】 created ice pillars around it again. It seemed like it was aiming to finish Yuuma off with those ice pillars.
――Don't look down on me!
"If that fella can do it, then I should be able to as well." With that thought in mind, Yuuma focused his consciousness and started to emit flames from his body.
The raging flames gradually took shape, transforming into the form of a "dragon" with a long neck.
Dozens of "fire dragons" that appeared rushed toward the【Green King】 and the ice pillars. The moment the dragons' fangs caught the ice pillars, intense explosions erupted one after another.
The sky was enveloped in flames, and sparks rained down to the ground. The upper air was covered in black smoke, making it impossible to see anything. Yuuma patiently waited for the smoke to clear.
Gradually, the black smoke dissipated, and the【Green King】 appeared from within.
As expected, it didn't work. However, there was one thing that was different compared to before.
The Green King’s wings were burnt at their tips. One of the dragons had managed to slip past the "Vacuum Barrier" and inflicted damage.
Although the Vacuum Barrier could not be broken, this method might work.
The moment he felt that way, the air around him suddenly changed. His skin tingled and a sharp pain shot through it, and he realized that his breathing became more labored than before.
"What's happened here?" Yuuma looked around with a bewildered face.
It seemed like there was no air around him, but then he suddenly snapped out. Yuuma was left speechless.
There was thundercloud above their head.
―― Since when did that cloud appear!?
It rumbled and spiraled, overwhelming Yuuma with the sensation that the thick clouds were about to descend upon him.
Oh... Crap! The moment Yuuma tried to move away from the spot, an overwhelming air current blew down from above.
It felt as though the sky itself was falling, the pressure coming from the mass of air crushing down on his entire body.
――Ga! Aaa...
He could no longer stay afloat. Losing his buoyancy, he spiraled downward, crashing into the ground, his body embedded in the ground.
The intensity of the wind was so fierce that he could barely breathe. Yuuma tried desperately to lift his body and head, but the pressure of the wind wouldn't allow him to move.
What he could barely do was see the winged insects in the distance, falling to the ground one after another and being crushed to death.
It was a super-large downburst with a wide-ranging impact.
--- Was this by chance... 【Wind Magic of 4th Level】!?
