Chapter 22

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Here I go.”

For now, I activated 100 magic spells and aimed it all toward the ancient dragon. 

Fire, water, lightning, wind, earth, ice. 

A multitude of different kinds of magic were swooping down on the ancient dragon, injuring its strong scales. However, it was still an ancient dragon. A being that was said to be immune to magic attack so even though the ancient dragon was on the receiving end of the onslaught of numerous magic attacks, the ancient dragon didn’t receive much damage. As expected from an ancient dragon. 

“UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

The ancient dragon came rushing to me. Its movement wasn’t very fast so I could easily avoid it but….

“Whoa?!”

I immediately put up a barrier in panic. It was to defend myself against the ancient dragon’s tail attack that was unexpectedly coming at me at an unbelievable speed. 

Oooh… So this dragon can move fast but the dragon deliberately moved slowly at me in order to launch a surprise attack with its tail…. This ancient dragon is pretty smart. 

“Oopsie.”

The ancient dragon’s attack was not strong enough to break through my barrier so I was able to get out of that predicament scratch free. 

“UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

Trying to chase after me, the ancient dragon opened its mouth wide, aiming its fire breath attack at me. 

“……….”

The range and attack power of an ancient dragon’s breath was none but first-class grade. I couldn’t escape and my barrier was slowly being chipped away by its attack. 

“Teleport.”

I leaped through space using magic, arriving at the space above the ancient dragon. 

“Heavenly Ice Shadow.”

Darken. The sunlight was obscured by more than ten thousand icicles floating in the sky. 

“Go.”

Numerous icicles fell toward the ancient dragon. The icicles kept on being mass produced over and over again. The pace didn’t slow down for a bit as the icicles attacked the ancient dragon. Judging from the look of it, the icicles didn’t have enough power to break through the ancient dragon’s scale but the pressure from above was enough to push the ancient dragon onto the ground. 

THUD!

The ancient dragon was knocked flat against the ground. 

“Heave-ho.”

Then I conjured the strongest sealing technique I had. Magic in the shape of a Japanese shrine or torii, fell down from the sky. The numerous huge torii completely sealed the ancient dragon’s movement. After that, the tide of battle became a one-sided battle.

“Let’s see how much longer you can stand against it!

A wide variety of magic attacks was raining incessantly toward the ancient dragon. But still, my magic wasn’t enough to penetrate the ancient dragon’s scale.

“Hmm…As I thought, it’s impossible.”

I muttered to myself. 

“『I am the King. The God who rules this world.』”

Magic power. The magic power that leaked out from me distorted the space greatly. From that empty space, I took out one sword. 

“Slice and tear.”

I swung that sword once. That was all it took. Just that one swing was enough to sever the ancient dragon’s head. 

“Ah. In the end I have to use my trump card.”

T/N: Is that sword not magic? Or maybe it’s considered as ‘pure power’? Hmm… I’m sure we will get the explanation in the next chapter.
