163　Coming home after going all out.

"Good work."

Evening.
Everyone managed to learn Dragon Horse and Dragon King.

Eko learned it all on her own very early on, and in the end, she beat a Golden Dragon in a one-on-one fight. Since she has raised her 【Shield Arts】 to 9th grade and has also raised her 【Axemanship】a lot, I feel that her development is remarkable, even though it is in order.

"It doesn't feel real……wow, there really is Dragon Horse and Dragon King in the skills section……"

Sarah dreamily gazed pensively at her status.

I can understand. That's how I felt when I first learned Dragon Horse and Dragon King in Mobius too. That's a beginner's dream.

"Thank you, Master."

At Yukari's cue, the three maids all bowed deeply.
It's not that gratifying, but I feel great.

"Yve, I'll be waiting for you in the summer. Luna and Sarah, maybe winter. What about you, Yukari? If you lay down some groundwork, you'll be ready to go in the summer time."

"I'll……! "
"I will do my best, Master, is what she said."
"Righto! I'll do my best, too! "
"I will……"

The three of them smiled, and Yukari opened her mouth with a look as if she had made up her mind about something.

"I will not be competing for the title."
"Is that so? May I ask why? "
"Yes. I thought I'd focus on behind the scenes."
"As a Blacksmith, I suppose."
"Yeah."

……Yes, I thought so. That is one way to enjoy Mobius.

"If you change your mind, let me know. But let me tell you something personal……"
"Yes."
"……Thank you. I'll be glad to have you focusing on Blacksmithing."
"Yeah, so I thought."

When I mentioned this, Yukari chuckled, which was really rare.

A good Blacksmith is essential to be the best in the world. And the Blacksmith is a humble, lonely, hard, and demanding position that requires repeated trial and error to the death. As a matter of fact, they are so busy that they don't even have time to be in the title games.

Yukari is thinking about me. That is painfully obvious.

I'll have to live up to her expectations.

"Well, let's have one last lap and then we'll go home with a bang."
"Bang? Do you want to do a quick round, Second? "
"Yeah, with a bang."

Metio Dungeon. I'm pretty sure this place hasn't been conquered yet, right?

"Come, Angolmois."
"――I have come."

When I summoned Angolmois, he appeared, spinning wildly, and then he struck a reddish-black bolt of lightning, pausing in mid-air in an awkward pose. As usual, he has no qualms about standing out.

"What is it, my Second?"

And even though he knows what I'm thinking, he's asking.

All right. Then let me answer you.

"Hey, it's been a while since we went wild……! "
"That is indeed! Hahahahaha! "

Immediately after, 《Spirit Possession》 was activated.

Oh God, this feeling, this sense of omnipotence! I can't resist.

I've been slowed down lately by all the small fry, so I thought I'd take a shot at it right here and now.

"Master, what on earth are you trying to do……? "

"The Rainbow Dragon, I'm going to kill it. Watch my back."

With Yukari's five-stage enhanced mithril sword, which was specially designed for firepower, at my waist, I sprinted in a straight line to the boss's hiding place.

I looked back only once to make sure Yukari and the others were still following, albeit lagging behind, and then I focused my attention solely on Rainbow Dragon.

The goal is an overwhelming victory. I will not let Rainbow Dragon make any moves on me. If it were my current stats and the skills I possess, well, I'd still have change to spare.

"I see it."

First move, a 《Rook Swordsmanship》, 《Lightning Attribute, Third Form》, 《Combine》attack―― a critical hit landed on the Rainbow Dragon's leg.

Followed by 《Dragon Horse Thread Manipulation》. This skill scatters several threads in a radial pattern, forcibly restraining the opponent who comes into contact with it. The Rainbow Dragon should target me at first strike and choose an attack other than Breath, so of course, it will get stuck.

It's secured. Without a moment's pause, I activated 《Rook Martial Arts》 5th grade. The more it charges up, the more powerful this single attack skill becomes. 【Martial Arts】net firepower calculation is done by the formula (STR+DEX+AGI)/2.56, which makes it easy for me with a good amount of overall stats to produce high firepower even at a low rank.

Finishing the charging, I hit the Rainbow Dragon in the leg, and a nice critical came out. Lucky. One more blow and the down value will be accumulated with or without a crit.

Released from the strings and enraged, the Rainbow Dragon let the air escape from his mouth, "Gah! ", in a squeal. It's a breath.

Normally, a player would avoid this situation at all costs, but this is the moment of aiming for a Down. When I jumped up, I shot a 《Combine》 attack of 《Rook Archery》 and 《Lightning Attribute ・ Third Form》 and sent it crashing Down with a saturated down value.

"Let's go!"

I'm in the zone.

With some luck, this will be decided in the next round.

《Charge》 with 《Lightning Attribute, Third Form》―― INT + INT and full charge for 10 seconds for a magnification of 800%, 【Magical Magic】. That is, Third Form with 16 times the damage.

If you want to charge it for ten seconds, the only place you can do it is here, where you have taken it Down.

I hold it for exactly 10 seconds, and when the Rainbow Dragon gets up from the Down state…… I hit it with it.

"――! ! "

A ridiculously thick bolt of lightning fell, giving the illusion that the Rainbow Dragon had been obliterated, and a roar so loud that it shook the ground rang out all over the area.

Too bad, not my lucky day. Did not get a critical and missed the 48x damage, huh?

"Alright! "

When the tattered Rainbow Dragon came out of the smoke, I countered with my 《Gold Spearmanship》 to throw it away, then took a plate out of my inventory and equipped it with 《Rook Shield Arts》 to Rush and close the distance.

In addition, I activated 《Gold Thread Manipulation》 right in front of the Rainbow Dragon, which was about to jump up for a breath. Okay, this is just in time. The skill involves binding a target within a 4-meter radius with a string, but I was able to secure it just barely around 3.8 meters in the air.

"Is this the end? "

With this, I'll probably finish it.

I prepared one last 《Dragon Horse Archery》 and when I got close enough to rub myself against the falling Rainbow Dragon…… I fired it.

Boom! And then dozens of arrows were released at the same time, like a shotgun.

A critical hit. Oops, that was overkill.
The Rainbow Dragon breathed his last breath.

Foo! Feels good!

There is no better feeling than when you finish off a strong opponent.

"…………Ah--Ah! ? "

Immediately after.

Before I had time to reflect on the aftermath, I saw…… a single naginata blade.

The Rainbow Naginata―― a rare drop item from the Rainbow Dragon. Like the Bow of the Blazing Wolf and the Shellrock Shield, the drop rate is 2%.

First Tsumo!! Yaaffu!! Pulling a 1/50 right off the bat!

"Good, good!"

I picked up the Rainbow Naginata with a smile on my face and jumped up and down, and when I looked back―― Yukari and the others were all standing there in a daze.

"……ooh……"

Feeling a little embarrassed, I wiped the sweat from my forehead while releasing 《Spirit Possession》.

"Okay, let's go home."

At any rate, it was a very satisfying day.

"Wait a minute, please. I just can't get it straight."

Yukari called for a moment. What in the world can't they get straight?

I'm not sure that Rainbow Dragon is something a human can win against …… And isn't it a total overpower? I was surprised myself! I mean, I was a little taken aback."
"……s……us……ck."
"Master is so far ahead of us that I can't see his back, is what she said."

Apparently, people can't seem to get their heads around the fact that I defeated a Rainbow Dragon.

No, no, this is what happens if you guys take it seriously.

"What are you guys so surprised about? Take a little lesson from Eko."

It's shameful. Look at Eko.

"Ho? "

"……See?"
"What's there to see?"
"She's unfazed."

Eko is unmoved because she understands, without even bothering to think about it, that it's normal for someone with my level of stats and skill to be able to defeat a Rainbow Dragon…… maybe.

"At the very least, you should be able to hold your own against a Golden Dragon."

"……I will devote myself to it."

I said with a smirk, and Yukari nodded with a deep sigh.
