Volume 6 Chapter 43 Earth-Seeing + Soul-Singing + God Of Iron-Cutting + Holy Knight VS Spirit Dragon God
"Hmm... It feels like the annoying atmosphere is starting to disappear," Masamitsu observed calmly.
"It seems like the 3 dragons have been defeated," Sumeragi added with a hint of satisfaction.
Masamitsu swung his sword, slicing through the breath attack, while Sumeragi cut down the ore bullets with his blade.
For the two of them, it seemed like an easy task as they continued fending off attacks, clearly understanding the situation in the dungeon.
"..." Ivan remained silent, his expression tense.
"What's wrong, Ivan?" Horace asked, noticing his concern.
"Well, something feels off with the 'Sacred Sword Yggdrasil.' Its behavior seems strange," Ivan explained carefully.
"?" Horace responded, puzzled.
Horace, who didn't know much about sacred swords, looked confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Simply put, the sacred sword was currently signaling, "My younger brother made a mistake," Ivan said quietly.
Broadly, 'Sacred Sword Yggdrasil' and 'Worldtree Axe' belonged to the same category, but the sacred sword appeared to have some sensing ability. Ivan believed the 'Worldtree Axe' caused the problem.
This affected the sacred sword's ability to grant immense magical energy to its owner. From Ivan's perspective, while fighting, he felt the magical energy flowing into his body was "a bit strange."
"My younger brother made a mistake... huh... What do you think, Sumeragi?" Ivan asked, glancing at the God of Iron-Cutting.
"Me? Well, coming from someone who had a younger brother, I wouldn't mind dealing with some minor inconveniences," Sumeragi replied with a relaxed smile.
"Is that so?" Ivan nodded.
"Well, if you never got bothered by someone, you'd never make memories. At my age, I often can't recall old things anymore," Sumeragi added thoughtfully.
"Well, I suppose I can agree with that," Ivan said with a faint smile.
Ivan and Horace remained confused, but Holy Knight Masamitsu and God of Iron-Cutting Sumeragi seemed to understand, as they quietly discussed the phrase "My younger brother made a mistake."
By the way, Masamitsu had lived for a thousand years, and Sumeragi for two thousand. No, at this point, it was more accurate to say they "exist" rather than live. With such long lifespans, it was natural to forget many things.
Therefore, what remained in their memory was mostly the "times when they had to forcefully resolve an issue" caused by being bothered.
"So, should we take it down soon?" Masamitsu asked.
Horace's expression betrayed his boredom. "Horace, your face says 'I'm already bored of this.'"
Ivan replied calmly, "You should have noticed too. With the other 3 dragons defeated, Uro Adamas has now met the conditions to trigger 'All-in Time.'"
"I guess it's about time to take it down," Horace agreed.
Just as Ivan nodded—
'Grrr... GRROOARRR!'
A tremendous amount of magical energy overflowed from Uro Adamas's body as it let out a fierce roar.
"The sense of intimidation has changed," Masamitsu noted, nodding.
A breath attack burst from the dragon's mouth.
"...Huh?" Horace exclaimed.
Suddenly, the ground shook—
"What?" Ivan asked sharply.
The Three Dragons of the Three-Body,
'Colossus Death Dragon Giga Bonequ'
'Billion Sin Dragon Zabi Lienea'
'Mistborn Dragon Yate Namist'
All appeared from the ground as the state of 'All-in Time' was activated.
"C-could these 3 appear at once?" Horace stammered.
"Rather, it's better to think of this as the forced resurrection of the 'All-Out Dragon' that was defeated," Ivan explained firmly. "In any case, we have to defeat them."
"...So, what will we do?" Horace asked.
"My Holy Sword can cut through gas," Masamitsu said confidently.
"Then Masamitsu is 'Mist Dragon.' Then... can I take the 'Billion Sin Dragon'?" Horace volunteered.
"It seems the most troublesome, but if Horace wants to do it, fine," Ivan agreed. "I'll take care of Giga Bonequ."
"Then I'll continue as the Spirit Dragon God," Sumeragi said with a calm nod.
So,
Holy Knight Masamitsu would handle the Mistborn Dragon.
Earth-Seeing Horace would take on the Billion Sin Dragon.
Soul-Singing Ivan would deal with Colossus Death Dragon.
God of Iron-Cutting Sumeragi would face Spirit Dragon Uro Adamas.
Each took responsibility.
"There's no point wasting time. Let's finish this quickly," Masamitsu commanded.
"If Horace is dealing with the Billion Sin Dragon like that, maybe we should also go for one-hit kills," Sumeragi said, his tone amused.
"I see, I'm in," Ivan replied with determination.
Each rushed forward.
Horace, with Magic Sword Duran in hand, headed toward the Billion Sin Dragon.
"The sword techniques passed down in the Order of the Sealed Dragon, inherited by Magic Sword Duran, have 'this kind of thing' as well. Take this!" Horace shouted.
While dodging the breath from the Billion Sin Dragon, Horace took aim and thrust forward.
His sword struck directly into the dragon's scales...
'Gyaah! Gah! Aghhh!'
The dragon's body convulsed violently.
It fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Well then... hmm? The holy sword again... oh well," Ivan muttered, preparing himself.
Ivan readied his sword, and behind him, a giant tree sprouted from the ground.
From it, immense magical energy overflowed, which he absorbed with two swords.
With a swift leap, Ivan took position atop Giga Bonequ and brought his sword down.
The magical energy released formed a massive blade, and with one strike, it cleaved Giga Bonequ in two.
"...Ha!" Masamitsu slashed at the Mist Dragon.
That alone was enough to end it.
"Hmm... one hit, huh. It's hard not to cause the dungeon to collapse though," Sumeragi said, raising his sword in a high stance.
He then brought it down in one swift motion.
A cutting strike flew out and cleaved Uro Adamas in two.
"...Eh?" a spectator gasped.
"No way," another whispered.
"Those dragons, with one strike?" someone questioned.
"This is the Blood Duel Cup..." a third spectator muttered in awe.
The powerful spectators in the stands could only be astonished.
They were surprised by Uro Adamas' appearance but had vaguely thought, 'If such a powerful person is here, there shouldn't be a problem.'
However, the '4 simultaneous' appearance was unexpected, and they were amazed to see these formidable opponents swiftly dealt with... shocked that enemies normally requiring desperate efforts to defeat were handled so easily.
"Phew... Now then, Ivan. Should we head out soon?" Masamitsu suggested.
"Huh?" Ivan replied, surprised.
Masamitsu's suggestion made Ivan's expression shift slightly...
"You're hardly using the Magic Sword Dark Matter at all. It probably still doesn't listen to you, right? And the Holy Sword doesn't seem fully active either," Masamitsu observed.
"...That's right," Ivan gave a wry smile.
Masamitsu and Ivan then sheathed their swords and quickly left the venue.
