d the unconscious Ark-san behind my back.

As if I’ll be defeated by that monster.

It’s a waste of time to fight it, so escaping equals win.

 

“Hahaha Neah!! I know you’ve done your best to make that Wicked Dragon a zombie, but you’ve failed!! You think that huge thing would be able to catch up to us, what idiocy!! You shut-in otaku! !”

“Whaa——!??”

 

I’ve exacted my revenge on her for now.

The moment we saved Ark-san, my purpose has been fulfilled.
Since the villagers are under her control, and precisely the case, they’re considered safe as well.

Which means, it’s time to leave this village.

When we went back to the village to pick up the horses, I noticed a strange wind around me.

 

“———-!! The wind’s coming from behind……?”

 

I was drawn by it.

Having a bad feeling about this, I looked back, and we have a Wicked Dragon taking a huge breath.

This dragon sure is inhaling a lot, which can only mean……!?

 

“Bluerin, turn around!!”

 

I shouted at Bluerin to stop, and at the same time watch the Wicked Dragon’s incoming attack.
The throat of the Wicked Dragon, which has sucked the air around it, has swelled greatly, and purplish smoke came leaking out of its mouth and the wounds of the throat.

 

“If you want to vomit, then do it……..!”

 

While shaking off my tattered uniform and thinking of means to cover myself, the Wicked Dragon who stopped breathing air raised its head greatly——-

 

“—————-!”

 

It exhaled a large purple mass into the sky with a soundless roar.

In a hurry, Bluerin and I rushed to the ground.
The exhaled gas barely passed over our heads and approached into the forest behind, splashing and scattering a sludge like substance with an intense odour.

 

“I-It’s not surprising that a Dragon would use a breathing move….
I’m a little touched …”

 

Why am I being impressed for? 

That breath must be avoided at all cost.
Then, once again carrying Ark-san behind my back, I hurried onto the place where the breath landed, which can’t be missed.

The trees that have grown around here withered—–Or did they turn rotten? Oh and this smell……! ! !

 

“Shit, it’s poison!!”

 

When I felt a slight dizziness and nausea, I immediately hold down my mouth and used healing magic.

Turning beside me was Amako whose face is turning pale blue.
Bluerin still looks fine, but he might be in danger if he gets closer to that sludge.
Ark-san who has fainted would be in more danger.

 

“Don’t worry Amako, I’ll cure you now.”

“……..Sorry.”

 

I lift Amako up from Bluerin’s back and cast healing magic together with Ark-san on my shoulder.

We need to get away from that Wicked Dragon—— However, if we make a break and try to get around it, the Wicked Dragon would just spew more sludges towards us.

Consequently, the sludge is scattered perfectly that it covers the entire perimeter, leaving no escape.

 

“So you don’t intend for us to leave……..??”

 

The Wicked Dragon stopped spitting, and suspiciously squints its eyes, as though looking down on me—— what a sneering sight.

I remember seeing those pair of eyes before.

It was exactly the same kind of eyes that the snake had back in Lingle Forest.

A predator that enjoys toying with their prey, it is their ultimate pleasure.

 

“Now, catch Usato!! Fu, Fuhahahah! !”

 

This little girl doesn’t know what’s up.

While feeling tired of her constant ramble of trying to capture me with that terrible smile of hers, I placed Ark-san and Amako behind Bluerin’s back who have been treated by my healing magic.

Then, I placed my hands on Bluerin’s body, and applied healing magic.

 

“The poison gas…..
Go to a place away from this miasma and protect those two…..
Man, I really want you to help me, but I can’t just leave those two alone.”

“Usato…..”

“Don’t worry about it Amako.
For now, I’ll punch it and see how it goes.”

“Can you not always start things off by punching people first?”

 

I never would’ve imagined that I would be kindly instructed at such times.

Or rather, is there a criterion of whether I should punch or not.

That’s a bad sign …Yeap.

Bluerin nods reluctantly to my words.

 

“Bugyuooaaaaaa!!”

 

The Wicked Dragon doesn’t seem to want to wait.

Based on the notebook, it’s an opponent I can’t beat.

However, it’s inevitable that I have to fight it in order to escape.
If only Ark-san was awake, he could’ve burned the sludge away, but that’s currently impossible.

 

“So scary……”

 

Spitting out a weak cry, I lightly jumped from the spot.

It is the same fear I’ve gotten when I was in that forest.
That scary snake that killed the Grand Drizzly was my first time being conscious of death, and now it was even more apparent.

 

“Let’s punch first.”

 

What I do is always the same even if the enemy’s different.

Even if the opponent is a Wicked Dragon or a zombie.
It might not have the same strength as described in the notebook.

While holding onto this faint hope, I rushed to the Wicked Dragon who approached me at the same time with a roar.

 

The size of the dragon is about 15 metres, which is equivalent to the height of a fourth or fifth floor apartment building.

When advancing forward , the sight from below looks like a troubling beast with slow reflexes, however it doesn’t matter if it has been zombified.

As I approached the eyes and nose of the dragon, it moved its bloated arm around my vicinity.

 

“It isn’t just fat———!”

 

I avoided the swing by proning on the ground.

However, because of the tremendous wind pressure, no matter how much I can withstand, getting a direct hit is just too much.

Rather, I think it might be better to consider this attack almost deadly to normal human beings.

 

“Uuugigigigi!!”

“What a creepy voice…..”

 

It’s gut-wrenching sound resembles that of someone cutting off an insect’s stomach.

It sounds as though he was laughing…..
Which is odd considering it is being manipulated as a zombie.

The next swing wasn’t from the side, but a giant swing from above.

 

“Uo!?”

 

Even with a swift retreat, avoiding the attack, it does not stop it’s huge claws from digging into the ground.

The worst part is that it doesn’t just end there.
It began swinging its nails down at me like a kid whining for it’s toy.

 

“Uoooooo!?”

 

You think you’re playing whack-a-mole or something!? I continued rolling over and over again while also trying to slowly approach it.
However, I wasn’t getting anywhere close to it due to the strong wind that occurs when it swings down.

This is bad—— With that thought in mind, I got far away, and shouted at Neah who was flying in the sky.

 

“Oi!”

“Hmm~ Do you feel like giving up now?”

“Over my dead body!! Anyways, are you sure you’re controlling that thing!!”

“Isn’t that obvious? I’m controlling a corpse without a soul, can’t you tell? Also, my zombies will never go against my orders!!”

“I see….
I see, I see, got it.”

 

Which means, I can safely say that ‘that’ thing is being driven by Neah’s will?

Hmmmm, I can see clearly now.

I threw a healing magic orb at Neah without hesitation.

 

“Eat my healing bullet!!”

“Guee!? Wha–, my eyes!?”

 

There was a problem with my aim, but it hit surprisingly accurately.
Unlike just now with Ark-san, my enemy is a zombie.
So if she stops moving, the zombie stops moving.
A win win situation.

She screamed like a proper girl, and fell down on top of the roof of the mansion, like a mosquito falling down after using a repellent stick.
Then, I stared at the Wicked Dragon that had abruptly stopped, and I harden my fist as hard as I can.

 

“A motionless enemy is no different from a sandbag.”

 

No healing magic needed.

I seriously punched it.

Squeezing my right fist as if pulling onto a bow, I thrust straight into the dragon.

Right before my eyes were the black scales, which also reminds me of the snake’s scales from before, but slightly different.

I’ve trained, and I have grown.

So——

 

“Eat this!!”

 

The punch with my entire weight placed on it, protruded the dragon’s chest without any inconsistency.
This might probably be the first time in this world that someone has pierced a dragon with a punch.

 

——–Same as, hero———-
