Chapter 243 - Episode Forty - The Collector (11)
The collector thrust the dagger in his grip at me.
“Hah!”
The blade of the sword shot out at me at a frightening speed.
It was easy to deflect, but it wasn’t just a throwing weapon.
“Earth, form, dragon.”
Just in case, I decided to prevent it with a dragon of rubble.
The floor cracked, and the remnants of the dragon floated one after another into the air.
As before, a dragon several tens of meters long appears.
The dragon’s body was pierced by a blade that was ejected deep into the air.
A long chain was stretched between the blade and the collector. It seemed to continue from the back end of the blade to the handle.
“Tsk! What a pain in the ass!”
The collector’s body flew towards the dragon at once, as if drawn by the chain.
The dragon of rubble swings its arm at the collector flying in a straight line.
The collector releases his hand from the hilt of his dagger, changes course, and swings his sword while avoiding the dragon’s claws.
The dragon’s wrist fell out of the rubble.
He stabs the dragon in the chest and kicks it into the air as he pulls it out.
The rubble dragon flailed and struggled as the collector retreated, and was made to present its head neatly.
The collector swung with both hands, and the large sword repelled the head of the dragon of rubble.
“Ah ……”
The “Earth-Shattering Sword” before, At best, it could only push back the dragon of rubble.
That large sword — Did you say “The Righteous King of Shattering, Chromieshkeid Ray”?
It certainly looks like a treasure sword of a different caliber.
The collector stood on the dragon’s head of the fallen debris.
“It’s regrettable. Your homemade dragons will no longer work. I once slaughtered three giant dragons at once. You’ve thrown away all your magic power, Abel. The game has already been decided. Against me who can use a certain weapon from the start …… You who have nothing on hand and have to make everything on the spot. You should have been paid attention from the start that you lacked magic power …… You are a great magician, but the difference in experience is apparent. Well, even if you are saving up or not, you just made it faster to your defeat.”
The collector stated matter-of-factly.
“This is enough of checking things.”
“…… Wha-?”
I enjoyed the fact that the collector would get up if I hit him with the right amount of magic, but Mea might be hit by a stray bullet if I make the scale higher.
And with that dagger, I could see the limit of the “Ravenous Dragon’s Tool Bag”
There is no point in continuing the check.
The collector, in a fit of rage, had just closed the distance with that dagger.
“Did you think you would be safe if you kept your distance?” despite him saying that, though.
Even if he’s shouting like that, at long range the opponent’s got the advantage, and this is what the collectors calmly decided.
I’m sure you didn’t have the means to break through my reflective armored Hydeem magimetal at this distance.
I had thought that the greatest advantage of the “Ravenous Dragon’s tool bag” was that you could prepare as many cards and hands as you wanted, and that the cards would not be revealed to your opponent, but …… earlier, I had a vague idea of the number of cards and hands he has.
“Earth, form, dragon”
“You can still use it, huh. But that won’t work …… Hm?”
Five rubble dragons appeared to surround the collector.
At the dragon’s massive body builds, the collector’s figure can’t be seen.
“Why …… why, why!?”
“I thought you said you only had to deal with three of them before.”
“Nonsense! Impossible …… It’s impossible! This! Can’t be possible! Why ……! I, I am a legendary adventurer and collector, you know! Against a little boy with a tiny aura who was born less than 20 years ago…!”
Without waiting for the collector to finish his whining, five rubble dragons attacked the collector at once.
I saw the collector jump on the back of the curled up dragon.
He is breathing hard.
It was the moment when it became clear that the collector is at his limit.
The only thing left to do was to defeat him peacefully or make him surrender so that it would not destroy any more treasures.
The other dragons came at the collector on the dragon’s back, opening their big mouths to chew him up.
The collector flicks it with his large sword and quickly crushes the head of the dragon coming at him from the opposite side.
Then he looked back at me and glared.
“Who the hell are you ……!”
“Can you afford to look at me right now?”
“Guh ……!”
The collector took out his dagger again and moved to the back of the other dragons, evading the attack and dropping the head of one of them.
That weapon …… It’s plain but it’s surprisingly easy to use
If I use it, It’ll probably rip my arm off.
“Carry”
I raised my hand and brought the hilt of the Rapides Sword back to my hand.
” “Gujarna Demon’s Face Stone” “
The collector held out his hand to the dragon.
A giant stone disc appears to block the dragon’s onslaught.
The face of a horrible demon is carved into the disc.
Although the expression was different, it resembled the “Mouth of Truth” that I had seen in my previous life.
When the collector lowered his hand, the face stone quickly disappeared.
The dragon’s chest of rubble fell loudly, the collector unleashes a stabbing slash.
“Haaaaah!”
A sword-shaped hole appeared in the chest of the rubble dragon.
The rubble dragon rolls over on its back.
“This is the third one ……!”
I kneaded my magic to recreate the blade, then fired the Lapides Sword at the collector’s open back.
The collector turned around with a pale face.
“You! I just told you that you shouldn’t be looking at yourself!”
The collector shouts.
“Eh, that is……”
The scene from just a moment ago came back to me.
“Can you afford to look at me right now?”
“There was ……”
“You coward!!”
The collector swung his sword down to the Lapides Sword.
Two rubble dragon claws swung mercilessly at his back.
The collector was on top of one of the dragons he had killed, but he was knocked off the top of it, and the Lapides Sword went through his abdomen.
The collector fell to the floor, coughing up blood.
Another dragon of rubble tried to strike it with its jaws.
” “Gujarna Demon’s Face Stone” ……!”
The collector shouted, and the stone disc that had just appeared between the dragon and the collector blocked the dragon’s jaws.
But the stone disk, hit by the dragon’s blow, fell with such force that it collided with the collector’s body.
“Ah……”
The “Gujarna Demon’s Face Stone” slammed into the ground with great force.
The collector was still underneath ……
The sound of flesh being crushed, clearly the mass of a human being, resounded deafeningly.
