Chapter 36

Amelia and I, finally set foot in the eightieth floor’s boss room .

It had been twenty-four hours since we found the boss room, in other words, a day had passed .

Taking a break for a day, of course there was a reason for this .

First, the demerit of Amelia’s『Magic Creation』, use it once and it couldn’t be used for two days .

For normal people, there was one more, it was a given that the magic consumption would be high, but Amelia had near infinite MP, so that wasn’t a problem .

Of course, it would be nice if we defeated the boss without using『Magic Creation』, but I wanted to challenge it with complete preparedness .

Another reason was my training .

I sealed my skills for as long as I could, and tempered my sword .

「Amelia, are we all set?」

「Un . we can open it anytime . 」

When I asked that while warming up, Amelia, who was meditating and doing image training, opened her eyes and nodded .

I opened my hand and closed it, checking the movement .

「Ok, let’s go . 」

「If it’s Akira and I, the two of us, it would be an instant kill . 」

「It would be great if it were an opponent where we could do that . 」

I drew ‘Yatonokami’ and put my hand against the door .

I opened the enormous,seemingly weightless door, just as I had done up until now .

When we entered, the door immediately closed .

「……!? Akiraaaa!!!」

There wasn’t anything there and when I tilted my head in confusion, Amelia, who was searching for its presence, raised her voice in extreme panic, which had never happened before .

Immediately after that, I felt a certain presence and I lept backwards from that place .

That place where I had been standing up until just now was instantly scorched .

「…what was that just now… . 」

The feeling that gave me goosebumps all over my body, still remained .

Amelia searched for the presence once again .

「…the next one’s coming!!」

When I heard Amelia’s voice, I dodged it by leaping to the side .

I was not able to completely dodge the next one, I had a small burn on my right thigh .

「…kuuuu!!」

「Akira, did you see that just now?」

「…aah, just a little . It’s a monster that I haven’t fought before . 」

When I said that, Amelia’s face turned pale and looked up .

「I, have seen it and fought it before . …a long time ago, it tried to burn down the sacred tree and was defeated by Kirika, by my younger sister, a dragon . 」

「…dragonn!?」

While thinking that it was impossible, I looked up as well .

『Gurururuaaaaaaaa!!!!』

It could be seen that an enormous shadow that confused one’s sense of distance was reflected on the high ceiling that seemed almost endless .

It could be said that even in this world, they were practically extinct, it was a monster that boasted the most strength among monsters .

「…did I raise the flag that time… . 」

The black dragon with bright golden eyes, looked down at us .

I thought that a monster like a dragon that gave off the feeling of a last boss would appear around the hundredth floor, which was a good place to top it off, but this was beyond my expectations .

「Amelia, are you able to use gravitational magic and knock that dragon down onto the ground?」

「…maybe I can . However, I don’t know how big it is, so it might fall this way . It’s dangerous . 」

Amelia looked at my right leg that the dragon’s attack grazed and said this .

Even when we were talking, the dragon’s attacks didn’t stop and rained down incessantly .

「Don’t worry about me . I won’t die from an injury like this . But, we will be easy targets like this . We’ll be hit sooner or later . 」

「……I got it . 」

Amelia pouted, and reluctantly nodded .

She held her hand up and muttered the words that activated it .

「『Gravitational Magic』 . …fall down, dragon . 」

『Guaaaaa!!!?』

The black-scaled dragon was subjected to tremendous gravity, making that large body creak .

The nails that were hooked into the ceiling so that it could hang on, broke one at a time, even the ceiling cracked .

Focused entirely on resisting the gravitational magic, the dragon stopped attacking me, and spread the wings on its back .

Without a moment’s delay, Amelia manipulated her magic and prevented it from doing that .

After a few seconds, the dragon fell towards the ground .

I got ready to attack the dragon with ‘Yatonokami’ .

Falling down with tremendous force, the dragon glared at me while twisting its body in midair .

「…my bad . 」

I thrusted the katana directly at its neck .

‘Yatonokami’ broke the hard, black scales of the dragon, and cut open the throat .
