Chapter 315 - Episode Fifteen - Attack of Penrath (6)
“In the name of the great Levi-sama, I shall deal with you myself! This is the first time in my entire life that I have been so displeased!”
The chimera dragon carrying Penrath rises high into the sky.
“Did you made fun of me until the end? Hmm? I am a man of faith and mercy. I was going to kill you with ease, but you will have a hell worthy of your folly! You will have plenty of time to regret it!”
As the Chimera Dragon rose, a dozen or so Wyverns and a flock of Trolls that had been in the air approached me.
It’s going to be a long time before the trolls reach this point, but it’s quite spectacular.
“A-Abel-dono! Can you deal with that! You can, right?”
Euris grabbed both my shoulders and shook them.
I restrained her with my hand and asked her to let go.
“Leave it to me, Euris-san! I just have an Ortem that would like to try”
“Um, please take seriously, Abel-dono!”
I waved my staff and made a magic circle appear on my right side.
“Carry”
To my right, a large, blackened, single-eyed Ortem appears.
A black mist with two round pupils emerges from the mouth of the single-eyed totem, which is shaking.
“Kyuuu?”
This is Hamelin, a demon that controls magical beasts, which I acquired during a magical beast disaster in the Fage territory.
As soon as Hamelin’s eyes meet mine, he bobs his head up and down as if he’s in trouble, and then goes back into the mouth of the Ortem.
“Grim Ortem, conductor of the rat pack!”
This Ortem is a kind of amplifier that expands the range and effect of Hamelin’s magic of controlling magical beasts.
If Hamelin wasn’t inside, it would just be a sturdy item, but now that Hameln is inside, it becomes a magic beast-killing item that boasts a powerful meta ability against magic beasts.
“Puppet, dance!”
I continued to wave my wand.
The Grimm Otem’s single eye lit up and its mouth twitched.
“Kyahahahahahahaha”
A suspicious purple light spreads into a sphere around me, fades, and then quickly disappears.
The herd of dozens of trolls that had been heading straight for me like excited boars slowed down and eventually stopped dead in their tracks.
Then, with a roar, the trolls began clubbing each other and fighting each other.
They seemed to be completely oblivious to me.
Far up in the sky, Penrath was at the head of a chimera dragon, looking at me with a puzzled look on his face.
But, Penrath, you can’t just sit back and watch the world go by.
“Gu …… guh.”
The Chimera Dragon’s body begins to tremble.
Even though it was only staying in the air, its wing movements became erratic and was slowly losing altitude.
The dominant magic of Hamelin is difficult to use against higher-ranked magical beasts.
It is originally a magic for commanding large numbers of lower-ranked magical beasts.
I’m trying to increase the effectiveness and range of the magic by adding an Ortem, but the Chimera Dragon seems to be at its limit of losing its shape.
Well, if it can disrupt an A-class magical beast this much, I can say it’s doing pretty well.
Penrath is clinging to the chimera dragon, screaming something.
It looks like he’s cursing, but the altitude is too high for us to hear.
The Chimera Dragon flying in the sky was surrounded by more than a dozen wyverns that Penrath had brought with him.
The wyverns were completely under the control of the Grim Ortem.
The fact that he had brought a few magical beasts with him had completely backfired.
The wyverns flew around the Chimera Dragon, aiming for Penrath at the head.
The Chimera Dragon was still struggling against the interference of the dominant magic, so it should not be in perfect condition.
However, it was indeed Penrath’s favorite.
With its huge body, he is able to avoid the fierce attacks of the slender wyverns that are able to maneuver around him while protecting Penrath.
It takes the attacks on his shoulders, back, and other bland places, and uses his deadly claws to tear the wyverns apart and drop them to the ground.
Well, that’s not so bad, that dragon.
But it couldn’t overcome the advantage of the Grim Ortem’s numbers, and it was attacked again and again.
One of the wyverns bit into the Chimera Dragon’s wing, throwing it off balance.
The other wyverns took advantage of this and tore at its abdomen.
The Chimera Dragon flees to higher ground.
The wyverns followed behind the chimera dragon.
A beam of red light shoots from the Chimera Dragon’s mouth and attacks the wyverns that are chasing after it.
One of the wyverns hit by the beam of light was knocked off its balance and fell, bursting into flames.
However, the wyverns that ducked out of the way approached the Chimera Dragon and attacked it again with their claws.
The Chimera Dragon, covered in blood, flees from the flock of wyverns.
“I-It looks like it’s going to end soon …… As expected of Abel-dono”
Euris looked at the Chimera Dragon as it was consumed by the wyverns, and then at Penrath, whose face was twitching and sobbing in proportion, and then at the trolls, who were already a pile of corpses after the battle, and Euris said, half in disgust
“I guess there’s no point in trying to outnumber you, Abel-dono. I’m starting to feel sorry for the old man.”
Penrath’s jaw was hanging open as he clung to the Chimera Dragon in desperation.
The fall of the Chimera Dragon appears to be only a matter of time.
“There is actually one more Ortem that I want to try. I want to use it in a real battle, so let’s hit Penrath while he’s still marginally safe.”
I clutched my wand in my hand.
“You-, You’re joking, right, Abel-dono? I’m You don’t have to kick the back of a man who’s about to fall off a cliff ……”
