Chapter 9: DANGER
Dragon???
This isn't funny even for a joke....
I just arrived in this world recently you know..
Is my luck that bad to put me in a bad situation like this?..
It would be better if I've encountered a weaker monster like goblins or wolves, rather than a Dragon that probably few adventurers can handle...
For now, I'm holding Altair in my right hand...
I tried not to move where I was standing at.... While the dragon keeps gazing at me like it's examining every inch of my body....
Frankly, I don't feel any fear towards the dragon in front of me, but, my body keep convincing me to avoid in provoking this monster at any cost...
Aside from that,,,
『 DANGER 』『 DANGER 『 DANGER 』
『 DANGER 』『 DANGER 』『 DANGER 』
YoRHa keep blathering those words..
Jeez. I know that at least...I'm not an idiot..
『 DANGER 』『 DANGER 』『 DANGER 』
' I know, I know. So can you please shut the hell up, you're not helping instead you're annoying me'
I moved my eyes to check my surroundings if there's a place that I can run to if needed...
But from what I've saw, I think I'm inside a cave with crystals glittering everywhere...
But I spot a gigantic door at the back of the dragon... It gives me the feeling that this monster is guarding it. I wonder why? Hmnnn.. I guess the answer lies behind that door...
I knit my eyebrows due to confusion. I focused my head through the door out of curiosity, without concerning the monster in front of me..
And that was the biggest blunder I have ever made since the time I arrived here....
Before I realize, the dragon before me seems to notice that I have been hardly gazing at the door behind it...
After that,,,
" ROOOAAAR "
The dragon suddenly started unleashing
it's vigorous voice which is enough to put the whole cave in tremble.....
Now, I'm pretty sure there's something important behind that door...
Wait.. It's no time thinking about that kind of things..
I need to run away from the death before me...
But before I can move my legs, the dragon spread open his enormous mouth widely..
「 Don't tell me it's going to— 」
" DOOOOKOOOOMMM "
It unleashed it's breath-fire towards me, but before the fireball can reached out of my body,
I evade it as fast as I can, which cause the fire barely hit me...If I get hit with that kind of fire, there's no chance of survival for me, I would be burn to ashes without remaining any part of my body...
I just got lucky cuz my body appear to be lighter than before...It's so comfortable to move with this kind of body...
But Wow!! that's amazing just now, witnessing before my very own eyes how a real dragon breathes fire...
But at that time, a sound resonated in my head....
『 CONFIRMED. Extra Skill 〈Magic Manipulation 〉and〈 Heat Resistance 〉Sucessfully Aquired 』
I have been notified by YoRHa.....
Seriously??? Is it normal in this world to aquire a skill just by evading from someones attack? Not only one skill but two in a row....
As I wonder what those 〈 Extra Skill 〉can do,,
My mind was filled with informations...about those newly acquired skills...
My lips parted on their own, for I know whoose responsible for all of these things...
' I thank you YoRHa, you're not useless after all '
Well, I can figure out myself what those skills are for, just by analyzing 〈 Magic Manipulation 〉〈 Heat Resistance 〉, it's pretty obvious right??
But I'm just glad in view of the fact that YoRHa isn't useless at all...
With those informations in my brain, I think I can use them to escape from this monster before me...
Forget about defeating it, I'm not even sure if I'll survive..
The moment it saw me survived from it's attack, even from those demonic dragon face, I can feel it's annoyance from me...
But there's something that made me bewildered..
After I dodged the fire it unleashed earlier, there's no sign of it's next attack even though I'm full of oppennings...
Even so, I can't let my guard down...
It's hard to explain why, but I can sense that it's plotting something..
Something that might bring me to death...
I need to get away in here as soon as possible..
I need to run-
"...…... "
That moment, goosebumps exploded over my skin....Even without using my skill 『 Magic Perception 』
it's body bursting with Dark demonic aura is enough to put me, and this whole place in tremble...
『 WARNING. Huge Magical Power detected 』
『 WARNING. Huge Magical Power detected 』
『 DANGER DANGER DANGER 』
YoRHA became like a broken record...
But that's to be expected, concerning the monster before me right now....
Ahhh..What a Misfortune!!!
It wouldn't be a surprise if there's no one who would dare to stand before this monster....
After a few seconds, it started to move by raising it's left hand consists of long sharp claws....and without giving me anytime to react, it began to strike me with an speed as fast as lightning.....
But before it's attack can connect through my slender body, I used a 『 Magic Enchantment 』to Strengthen my body and to increase my movement as well, it's all part of my Extra skill 『 Magic Manipulation』you know...
Now I'm indebted to YoRHa for loading up my mind with all the informations that I need to use my skill appropriately....
After successfully dodging it's attack, without giving me any chance to escape, it started to breath a fire again....
But the way it charged it's attack is more faster than earlier...
And instead of red colored fireball, it is now dyed in pure black, like a black hole...
I have successfully evaded all it's attack....this is all I can do...
But the tables are turned when it's attack pattern unexpectedly changed and used it's gigantic long tail embellished with a pointed Tail spear...
I put every inch of my concentration in evading it's incoming attack...
It's tail just scarcely get in touch with my skin...
While evading, before I know it,, a blazing black fire is drawing closer in my direction faster than the speed a sound....
No matter what I do, I can't dodge it this time...it will undoubtly come to hit me...
I hav–
「 BOOOOMMMMM!!! 」
