CH 47

I tried to move my stiff body, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the grotesque dragon in front of me. The claws of the dragon zombie flying towards me loomed before my eyes.

“Kyuaaaaa!”

“Gumoooo!”

Rei and Ace parried the claws between them.

“Thank you!”

Their two roars bounced back the Dragon Zombie’s roar.

Thanks to that, i was finally able to move their bodies freely.

Even after deflecting the initial attack, the Dragon Zombie’s attacks continued to come at me, but i was able to avoid them by immediately atomizing and dodging the attacks.

“Wow!”

It was my first real battle, but i was glad it was going well. It was a strange sensation to feel your body slip through the attacks.

“That skill it just used on you is an upgraded version of 『Intimidation』. Be careful next time!”

“Thank you.”

With just those words, Milim quickly spread her wings and flew away.

At the same time, black magic overflowed around Milim, hiding her from view.

“I’ll show you that the power of Twilight magic is not just yours.”

At the moment when the Dragon Zombie and Milim’s gaze met.

“Eat this!”

Black magic gushed out of Milim’s body.

Then, as if a mass of that black magic, like thunder, poured down on the Dragon Zombie.

“Gruuuuuaaaaa!”

“It’s working!”

“Don’t let your guard down!”

“What!?”

Milim’s voice prompted me to quickly activate my newly acquired skill, 『Atomization』 .

‘That was close… the Dragon Zombie’s tail just slashed my body in two.’

“I finally managed to divert its attention to me with that last attack. We don’t have to defeat it, we just need to consume its magical energy for about 30 minutes, and we’ll be done.”

It could be said that the fact that Milim, who was overwhelmingly stronger than me, was not trying to defeat the Dragon Zombie, showed how strong it was.

“By the way, does atomization work against magic attacks…?”

“It depends on the type of magic, but it doesn’t work very well.”

“Really…?”

And for some reason, Milim seemed to enjoy telling me that.

While continuously launching flashy magic attacks at the Dragon Zombie, she had a smile on her face.

‘Could it be…? She had said that she was sealed away, so maybe she had been holding a grudge…?’

Thinking about it now, i was glad that Milim hadn’t come at me with such force during our fight…

“Gyagaaaaa!”

“You’re so noisy!”

“Gyaarrrgh!”

Of course, the Dragon Zombie was not just passively taking Milim’s attacks. It was also attacking with its physical attacks, such as tail strikes, claws, and bites, but they were all blocked or deflected by Milim’s magic before they could reach her.

‘Did I really need to be here for this…?’
