Volume 3 - CH 26

Act 3-26: Subjugation of Evil Dragon Deboa(Side: Titan)

TN: Short chapter, but definitely a full chapter.

===

Carrying Felis on my shoulder, I dodged the relentless tail sweeps and fire breaths of that idiotic lizard(Evil Dragon Deboa). Then, I unleashed the black soil of destruction toward its soft, unprotected abdomen.

Deboa wailed non-stop as it vomited a rain of blood.

『YOU FU*KING WORM! How dare you spit at me!』

An earthen spear of destruction manifested in the air, rushing toward the open jaw of Deboa, who kept wailing resentfully.

The black earthen spear of destruction pierced even Deboa’s fire breath and penetrated its huge lower jaw, destroying it in the process.

『HAH! Now it won’t let out that annoying scream anymore!』

Suddenly, a strange flash of light appeared in the eyes of Deboa, who had lost its lower jaw. The next second, countless black spheres appeared in the air, rushing toward me.

I jumped in the air in an attempt to dodge the incoming attacks while clicking my tongue, but the black spheres could track my movement.

So I conjured a black earthen shield that was already enhanced with the power of destruction to block the incoming black spheres, but…

（Tch, too slow, eh!）

That didn’t make it in time. A few of the black spheres slipped in my defense and attacked us. However, a transparent, pale-blue membrane of light suddenly appeared in front of us, stopping the black spheres.

「IT’S OUR TURN!」

The people clad in black clothes, led by the brown-skinned girl whose black hair was bundled like a dumpling made a gesture with their hands.

This transparent, pale-blue membrane seemed to have been conjured by them. However, it was a human technique after all. The black spheres could easily tear through it, but that momentary pause gave me the chance to readjust my shield. Thus, by the time the spheres got past the membrane, they struck my shield and vanished. Moreover, I shot down the remaining black spheres in the air with my black spear of destruction.

「How frightening! Those people might have already made a plan to cooperate with us to defeat Deboa.」

At first, the little girl freeloading on my back had whined non-stop, but she seemed to have gotten used to this right now. She had already stopped whining and was giving a concrete order to ensure our victory.

『Yeah, I also realize that.』

That personage had ordered us to work together with those humans. Going against that personage’s order was truly the pinnacle of idiocy.

The me from before would have felt nauseated just at the thought of working together with these weak humans, but the current me doesn’t have such feelings at all. The reason I pledged absolute loyalty to this girl(Felis) is the order of THAT PERSONAGE, who rules those transcendents. I know that they only needed a single moment to erase my existence from this world had I dared refuse that personage’s order. But, even when I have to live in such a situation, I can’t help but feel delighted.

Moreover―

（Too overwhelming! So this is what it means to submit under that personage!）

My body was brimming with power. And then, this destruction trait! Just becoming the kin of that personage’s subordinate had allowed me to become far more powerful than before. Rather, it was as if I was reborn.

If it were the previous me, I would have had no choice but to escape from a fight with this otherworlder dragon. And yet, the current me didn’t feel a single threat from this so-called evil dragon. Surely, the black spheres were enough to critically injure the current Titan if he fought by himself.

『OI, HUMAN! This is an order from that personage! Show no mercy! Trample that giant lizard under your foot!』

I shouted at the humans looking up on the ground.

I have already felt the wrath of that personage once before. There will be no future left for me unless I regain that personage’s goodwill with my own hands.

I conjured a lot of sand and formed jet-black stakes.

『BOGOGE!!』

Deboa was trying to charge toward me, its eyes filled with indignant rage. But…

「【Vine of Spirit Tree】」

Countless vines were conjured from a magic circle, unleashed by the group clad in green robes. The vines filled the place where Deboa was heading and trapped the dragon.

At the same time, countless bird-shaped flames rained down upon Deboa, sending its body crashing to the ground.

These humans seem more useful than I expected.

""

『This is the end.』

I pointed my middle finger and index finger to the ground. Conjuring countless jet-black stumps in a single moment, I fired them toward the fallen Deboa, making the monster suffer another wave of pain.

「CHARGEEEEEEEEEE!」

The moment the blonde, slim man in a baggy attire swung down his long sword while shouting at the top of his lungs, all the humans rushed toward Deboa.
