In the wake of its rampage, the Evil Dragon was crushed by the collapsed rock. As the dragonâs heart, its vital point, approached the ground, Corinna quickly called out, âLyell! Reid! Do it now!â
âOn it!â
Lyell made a dash without delay.
He was like a hero out of a storybook. I didnât have the leeway to gaze at the captivating sight. I had to let loose some threads. They went to Lyell, not, they headed to his holy sword.
In response to Lyellâs movements, the Evil Dragon took a deep breath. Judging his limbs were unusable under the collapsed rock, heâd intercept Lyell with his breath. That decision was not wrong, butâ¦
âMaxwell, wind! Maria too!â âGot it!â
Maxwell immediately responded to the instructions. He shot a strong wind at Gadius, making him catch up to Lyell. This was to compensate for his slow speed since heâs a dwarf. Gadius quickly overtook Lyell and raised his shield in preparation.
A scorching breath assaults him. Gadius pushes forward, pushing through the heat.
In the back, weâre protected by Mariaâs barrier. Maxwellâs wind blocked it off as well, protecting against the dragon breath wasnât a problem. In fact, Maxwell was already preparing his next magic.
The dragon breath is just a long breath. In other words, itâs only an additional effect on top of the act of exhaling. No living creature can keep exhaling forever.
It only took about 30 seconds before the Evil Dragonâs breath stopped. Lyell took advantage of that gap and charged ahead again.
âAAAAAAAARGH!â
Along with his scream, he held his sword up and thrust with all his strength. The sharp tip pierced through the scales and cut into its flesh.
But itâs too shallow.
His sword isnât short, but itâs still not enough to pierce through the tough muscle holding up the Evil Dragonâs giant frame. The sword came to a stop after shaving off just a bit of bone, nowhere near a fatal wound. But at that, Cortina gave out her last command.
âMaxwell!â âItâs all over now! Scarlet Nine, Olive Nine, Azure Nine! ThunderStorm!â
With more magical power than usual, Maxwell set off his lightning magic. Normally heâd direct his attack to his opponent, but by focusing entirely on maximizing the power the destructive magic was scattering out. This magic was so powerful a personâs body mightâve exploded at the slightest contact.
But even with that kind of power, the scales of this massive dragon would defend from its effects, under normal circumstances, that is.
But currently, heâs pierced by Lyellâs holy sword, with my threads tangled around the holy sword.
I let go of the threads and Lyell abandoned his sword. Maxwellâs lightning spell spread out and flew into my thread along the wall, it flows along the thread rushing to Lyellâs sword, the holy sword that pierced the scales and is stuck just above the dragonâs heart.
Even though itâs the strongest monster in the world, it is still a living being. Its internal organs are driven by electrical signals, so what would happen if an ultra-high voltage lightning storm floods them.
ââ¦Even if itâs the Evil Dragon, it canât withstand this,â mumbled Cortina. As she mumbled, a living being couldnât possibly handle having electricity flow directly into their body. The Evil Dragon stiffened and convulsed under the rocks it was trapped under. Eventually, its body swelled with a low explosive sound, perhaps some combustible material inside the body was ignited. Because it breathes fire, it must have had a fuel source, if lightning sparks reached that source itâll likely explode.
The Evil Dragon stopped moving after flames erupted from itâs eyes and mouth.
âDid, we win?â Muttered Lyell as he got up from the spot where he was lying face-down by the Evil Dragon. No one could believe what just happened. A group of six people defeated an Evil Dragon that destroyed a whole country.
âWe won?â Even Cortina who had planned the whole operation couldnât believe it. But the fallen Evil Dragon lay before our very eyes. He had his organs burned out, his wings cut off, and was crushed under rocks, he was dead. âHah⦠haha. We did it, we did it! Yea!â
I couldnât hold myself back and raised my fist in triumph. Unusually for her, Cortina reached out to embrace me.
âWe did it! We did it, Reid! We defeated Colchis!â âYea, we did it! Well done Tina!â
Calling each other by pet names, we hugged each other and swung around. Meanwhile, Maria rushed over to Lyell and Gadius to heal their wounds, ever the attentive priest. As expected of someone called a Saint.
And with the subjugation of Evil Dragon Colchis, we became legends.
