Chapter 8

Little Rock Dragon

[GaaAaOOOoo!]

The dragon in front of me triumphantly roared .

It seems that I arrived too late .

In comparison to the dragon we are small, the dragon in front of us is at least 3 meters tall .

The middle of the dragon’s body seems to be covered by a rugged rock .

Since the moment I saw him I wanted to escape .

From his silhouette and footsteps one can tell that that guy clearly isn’t a normal existence .

While I was hiding myself I noticed that under one of his large feet was Miria, she and the other two adventurers have blood coming out of them .

[Final Evolution: Lv–]

(TL/N The kanji’s for this one meant something like “The final evolution person”, and i thought to name it something like “One who reached the final evolution” but i decided just to left it as “Final Evolution” because it can be understood that he got it because he reached the final evolution, and because it’s shorter . )

So far because of its low level [Inspect Status] couldn’t display successfully from far away, even so this time I still could clearly understand this guy’s status .

Besides being twice my size, his status were thrice of mine .

When our eyes meet my I begin to be attacked by fear making my body tremble all over .

Did the thought that I would be able to win against such guy with just me and the three humans ever crossed my mind . There was no injury to be found in his strong-looking body .

His defense is high enough that a direct attack wouldn’t faze him .

[GaaAaOOOOOo!

It was a dull low cry but that same cry made the air inside the forest tremble, after that came the sound of silence

[Run]

[Away] [Please] [Run] [Away] [It's] [Impossible]

God’s Voice words are displayed in my head .

My brain felt as if it was shaking, making me nauseous .

No .

I don’t have any skill to beat this guy, none .

My best skill is [Dragon Punch], but against him it would be powerless .

From my experience, even if I hit him thirty times on the head with [Dragon Punch] I don’t think that that would bring him down, that’s how much of a difference there is between us .

Even if i were to hit him with wider swings, by my calculations he wouldn’t even need to use [Self Recovery] . In the first place just by taking in account the height difference I would not be able to aim for his head, also my MP is not enough to use [Dragon Punch] thirty times .

In short, my chances of winning against him is a perfect zero .

And to make matters worse, the three who I expected to serve as additional force were lying on the ground without consciousness .

Thanks to [Inspect Status] I can see that none of them are dead, their status show [Fainted – Bloodied] .

The one who protected me and who had a kind smile was also losing blood while lying on the ground expressionless .

Fortunately, the speed of the opponent is slow .

If I hit him in order to aggro him and get him away of the other three, that way I hope that they will be saved .

If that’s the case .

I remember my certain kill technique which consisted on using my agility and strength that I learned during my egg era .

I approach him with a run and then kick the ground hard .

Without change my hands and knees folded, making a circular shape .

Even when I evolved it’s still useful, the [Roll] skill .

I ambush the Little Rock Dragon and swing my arms .

Right, left, jump, I splendidly evade .

The ground made a sound as if breaking, but he didn’t care, didn’t even care about it .

Now i just simply focus on his movements .

Evade, evade, evade .

I look around while searching for a chance .

He attacks from both sides with his claws!

I use my strength to jump and with that I just barely evade his attack by a paper thin difference .

[Title Skill [Evasion King: Lv1] was acquired . ]

Here it is!

With all of my strength I tackle the rugged face of that monster .

When it hit his head, his forehead raised backwards thanks to the force .

After that I fall on to the ground and involuntarily begin to roll away from him .

It seems that it was a bit effective .

Come! follow me!

I felt an overwhelming killing intent on my back .

Immediately after that, the ground in the vicinity was overturned .

Iya, even I felt that . My vision is blurred because of all of the dust around . I only see the trees in front of me fall down .

What happened .

That probably was his [Earth Tremor] skill .

He must have hit the ground strongly in order to cause that .

Luckily I was far away, but those who were near would not be safe .

The area of effect of the skills seems to depend on the strength of his body, because it’s relatively low was that I was saved .

(Actually in this part the skill uses another set of kanji which aren't listed on his status so i linked it to Earth Tremor . 〖地鳴らし〗)

Because I fell to the ground the Little Rock Dragon comes at me at ease .

Damn it…

I can’t lift myself up, my body is heavy .

Iya, this guys is really negligent .

Rather, this is a good opportunity . For now I should obediently stay down .

The rock dragon approaches me, he opens his big mouth and brings it near me .

I aim inside open mouth and with all of my strength I throw a [Dragon Punch] .

As my fist enters his mouth it grazes one of his tusk opening a cut on it, but still the hit was a success .

As expected the inside of his mouth wasn’t rock .

[GugyaaAa!]

The Little Rock Dragon loudly cries while he steps back, seemingly in pain .

I did it, I did it .

That had to be fairly painful .

However, it’s still impossible for me to beat that guy .

I run towards the other three .

I check the old man’s status, but it’s already too late his HP is already 0 .

I can’t think of anything for a moment, however I get away from the old man .

Next I find Douz .

With my claws I cut open his chest plate and from it blood pours out .

And because of [Earth Tremor] it seems that one of the trees that fell down crushed his legs .

I try to lift the tree with my hand, but I wasn’t able to .

With only me it’s impossible .

ShuuUu, a sound as if water evaporating is heard .

I look turn my head to look at the source of the sound, and I see that there is smoke coming out from the mouth of the Little Rock Dragon .

My instinct tells me that that must be his [Self Recovery] .

The attack that I risked my life on was recovered just like that .

That’s unreasonable .

That’s stupidly strong, Is that really just a [Little] rock dragon?

In what way is that a rock dragon .

I immediately use [Roll] to run away, I find Miria who had fallen in a remote location .

Her body was about to be swallowed into the broken ground, I found her too late .

I take her out by grabbing her by the neck with my mouth, since my body was too small to carry her on my back .

And then I run with all of my power .

I run through the forest with all of my strength .

I’m still able to heard the sound of the humans being crushed, but still I never turn my head back .
