Chapter 285
I slashed towards that thing that had Miu’s appearance using Eleanor .
It guarded, raising its arms while jumping back . I broke through its guard and chopped its arms altogether .
「ーー!」
Its expression changed . Its expression turned into a fierce one, one unimaginable from Miu .
Its arms that were chopped immediately returned into ashes and regenerated from the chop wounds .
That thing kicked the ground and jumped into the air . It looks like it’s trying to run .
I thought of jumping after it, but I stopped .
Its movements as soon as it jumped, and also its direction .
I noticed that it wasn’t leaping, but flying .
If I just jump after it, I would be left behind part ways .
「Hikari, take out Olivia」
『Un! O-chan〜!』
Hikari’s blade shone and Olivia was summoned .
Not Chibi Dragon, nor in her dragonkin form .
The Dragon King Olivia was summoned .
I jumped onto Olivia’s head while embracing Caroline tightly .
「Pursue after it」
That was all I ordered .
Olivia flapped her wings and flew to the great sky .
That thing that has Miu’s appearance and Olivia who was chasing after it .
Olivia was faster by a lot, so we immediately caught up .
「We’ve caught you」
We closed in while I’m still on Olivia’s head . I slashed towards the fake Miu using Eleanor .
Fake Miu blocked by reaching out its arm while turning around . *Gakiiiiiーーn!!* the deafening sound echoed and sparks flew .
Its arm was tougher than earlier .
It was about to counterattack . It made a clawing movement with its hands .
I felt a bad feeling soon after . I quickly dodged .
The air, it “rotted” .
I don’t know if that’s the correct way to describe it, but that was how I felt it .
The space its claws passed through rotted .
Looking closely, its nails had a dark violet color, and something with an indescribable color was falling from ti .
『If it lands on your body, even you couldn’t possibly endure it』
「It’s useless if it doesn’t hit」
I continued to slash using Eleanor . The sword clashed with its claws creating countless sparks .
Fake Miu flew around in the air and tried to attack from my blind spot .
Olivia also started maneuvering in the air to deal with it, but .
『O-chan, she’s having it hard……』
Just like what Hikari whispered, although Olivia was faster in speed, she is inferior when it comes to making small turns in the air .
There were multiple times when Olivia could not catch up with its maneuverability and got attacked from a blind spot . Although she tried to fight back, her attacks would barely graze it, making her unable to deal sufficient damage .
After several exchanges, Olivia was caught entirely from her blind spot .
She received attacks from Fake Miu and I was thrown in the air because of the impact .
I took a glance and saw Fake Miu making an evil smile .
“You can’t catch up now”ーーI think I heard that .
「Don’t smile using that face」
I kicked the air .
I kicked the air, I kicked the wind .
I kicked empty spaces and charged towards Fake Miu .
『Kukuku, how ridiculous you are as always』
『Otou-san’s so amazing!』
Ignoring the reactions of the mother and daughter Demon Swords, I closed the distance with Fake Miu and swung down Eleanor .
Fake Miu looked surprised . It took defensive guard in desperation, trying to parry my charge .
「This isn’t over!」
I was swept away to a different direction, but I immediately kicked the air once again, charging towards it after changing directions .
Although I can’t fly in the air in the sense of floating, with this, I can now fight mid-air .
I charged many times, attacking Fake Miu .
There are times when my attack would be dodged, sometimes it would be parried, and I would also clash with it and be pummelled to the ground .
But every time, I would change directions and charge again .
Fake Miu’s face color worsens, it looked as if it was panicking after feeling it was disadvantaged .
「How about giving up already」
When I said that, Fake Miu turned around and flew away . It was flying as if it was trying to take distance away from me .
「I won’t let you escape!」
『Wait, no』
Soon after I heard Eleanor’s words of halt, Fake Miu raised its hand .
With that hand as the core, a gigantic magic circle appeared .
It was about thirty meters in diameter . A magic circle that looked as if it was covering the sky .
A dragon appeared from that .
It’s a dragon that looked as if it was made by dark flames . I can tell with a glance that it’s strong .
But, it wouldn’t be a problem .
Caroline looked completely relieved in my arms . She clings tightly to me .
The reason why she screamed before was because, at that instant, its strength exceeded myーーEleanor’s power .
But after I landed a hit on Fake Miu, it weakened so Caroline calmed down .
And even now, Caroline stays put silently . Not to mention a scream, she even seems as if all that she can see is me .
In other words, it is very clear .
But despite that, we are in mid-air . I don’t want to stay much longer, fighting in this terrain where even Olivia was played .
If so, since that’s the case . To defeat it with one shot .
I concentrated my powers towards my right hand that holds Eleanor .
With powers that exceed my limits . A powerful throw .
The throw using the full strength that Eleanorーー
『Stopーー』
She shouted before I moved, but I didn’t mind her and continued to throw .
When we’re doing this, Eleanor would always say stop or wait, so I continued to throw without reacting to her .
I am sure . That attack would kill it .
*Kyuuuuuuuunーー!!* Eleanor flew with the wind howling .
That attack using the Demon Sword that exceeded the speed of sound blasted off the dark dragon along with Fake Miu .
「……ah!」
But a moment later, I understood why Eleanor was stopping me .
I shouldn’t blast away Fake Miu .
The duration of the fight was getting longer, and I was pissed by it making such expressions using Miu’s face, so I completely forgot .
I shouldn’t defeat it, but neutralize it so that I can extract information from it .
Despite regretting it, it was already done .
Being hit by my full force attack using Eleanor, Fake Miu was completely obliterated without any remains .
I landed on the ground while embracing Caroline and dropped my shoulders .
I also recovered Eleanor while I did so .
『You fool . This is what happens if you don’t listen to my words』
「Mumumu〜」
『What “Mumumu〜” . Reflect on yourself this time』
I couldn’t rebuke Eleanor . Although the enemy was defeated, it was my mistake .
『Huh〜? Where’s O-chan?』
「Hm?」
Hikari seems to have noticed something .
When I turned around, I saw Olivia in her dragon form over there .
She is sitting like a dogーーshe stared at me with eyes you would see from a faithful dog .
The faithful dog Olivia . It’s an expression that she would sometimes make .
It’s when she wants to say something, but she’s waiting for my command .
That kind of face .
「What’s the matter, Olivia」
「Look at this!」
Olivia bowed her head and moved her face closer to me .
Olivia’s head when she’s a dragon is as big as a person . I saw something stuck between her fangs .
「This is……」
「It got stuck when I bit on that thing earlier」
「Earlier……? Ahh! When you grazed Fake Miu」
「Un!」
Olivia nodded with an even happier face .
What was stuck between her fangsーーa bit of clothes and flesh .
Although the main body was obliterated, it might be possible to use these as evidence .
「Good job, Olivia」
「Aha〜♪」
When I praised her, Olivia showed a happy smile .
