Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 76 This matter is also recorded in Monster Hunter.

After defeating the numerous monsters that block the protagonist's way, they will finally face the final boss. This is a common trope in almost every RPG game, and Charlotte and Mikami Hibiki are used to it.

Even in reality, one should be able to anticipate this.

The dragons wouldn't go berserk for no reason; there must be a leader directing their actions, and that leader is the enormous creature before us.

It is more than 10 times larger than a flying dragon.

Its overall appearance is very similar to a dragon, but it looks more ferocious, its scales are more intricate, and the horns on its head emit colorful light under the sun.

Of course, the biggest difference between it and a flying dragon is that it has front legs, which means it is a real dragon! Charlotte and the others were far too small in front of it.

No wonder he can command a swarm of flying dragons.

In stereotypes, dragons are ranked according to their bloodline, with the purer the bloodline, the more noble they are. Not to mention, they are also extremely powerful and are enemies not to be underestimated.

Charlotte never underestimated dragons. Although she knew that even the grape on Alice's head could take on a dragon, that didn't mean the dragon was weak, but rather that the grape was stronger.

"Are you confident in using your sword?"

"...No matter what, as the hero, I must protect them!"

You misunderstood; I didn't ask about your awareness.

However, he also knew that Miken Hibiki was a severe case of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use the demon sword Gram.

The caravan owner asked cautiously, "Um... two brave sirs, should I let the caravan leave first? Of course, I'm not worried about the cargo being damaged or anyone else getting hurt; I'm just worried that we'll be in the way here."

"Is that so? That's what you're thinking." Charlotte looked at him with a half-smile, and when he was a little overwhelmed, she said, "It's a good idea, but I advise you not to do it. Once you create distance and the flying dragon goes after you, neither I nor Yujian will be able to come to your rescue in time."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Yu Jianxiangye echoed.

The caravan owner's face shifted several times. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hero, you must slay this evil dragon! If you survive, I will reward you handsomely!"

"It definitely will!"

Mikami Hibiki simply said that.

The caravan leader then ran back into the crowd, leaving the battlefield to Charlotte and Yujian Xiangye... In this situation, the intervention of adventurers of average strength would only cause trouble, so only the two of them could take on the task.

In addition, Youyou has temporarily entered a resting state due to excessive consumption of magic power. Xia Luo also told her to conserve her energy and wait for the right opportunity to make a move.

The dragon leader also arrived not far from the two, looking at them from mid-air. His imposing aura and bloodshot beast eyes seemed to indicate that a battle between the two sides was inevitable.

Charlotte guessed it would go berserk, that someone must have done something, but she had no time to consider the whole picture or clear up the misunderstanding.

As the team owner said.

The moment the dragon leader ordered his minions to attack the innocent, he had already become a dragon.

"Okay, let's go."

"oh!"

The magic circle's range is about 50 meters. Based on the test of the dragon attack just now, we know that whether on the ground or in the air, entering the area will weaken the magic circle. I suppose the same applies underground.

Therefore, assuming they don't step out of the designated area, Charlotte and Yūken Hibiki's objective in the battle becomes clear.

—Don't let the dragon leader fly!

The two exchanged a knowing glance, then ran towards the dragon leader from opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right.

It was only thanks to Charlotte's consistent physical training that he was able to keep up with Hikaru's speed.

The dragon leader's eyes also squinted left and right, a move that, while making it look foolish, also indicated its wide field of vision. After pondering for a few seconds, the dragon leader turned to look at Mikasa Hibiki, clearly believing the Demon Sword Hero posed a greater threat.

indeed.

Just now, when Mikami Hibiki was fighting the dragon horde, he was practically in Musou mode, so it's understandable that people would subconsciously regard him as a major threat.

But!

If you underestimate me, you'll suffer a great loss!

While Mikadoshi was dealing with the dragon leader, Charlotte had already run to a blind spot behind the dragon leader. Then, with the help of the magic circle's amplification and her own magic power, she leaped up and grabbed its tail.

They thought the thick-skinned dragon leader would have weak senses, but they didn't expect it to be detected as soon as it was grabbed, and its thick tail immediately began to swing wildly.

"Waaaaaahh ...

Charlotte could only hold onto the dragon's tail with both hands and swing back and forth like she was on a swing, but this was much more exciting than swinging on a swing because there was no safety rope.

As it tumbled and spun around, the centrifugal force intensified, and Charlotte gradually lost her grip, accidentally letting go.

"Mr. Charlotte!" xN

Amidst gasps of surprise, Charlotte was flung high into the air, then pulled down to the ground by gravity.

If it were to fall solidly like that, it would probably be smashed to pieces.

However, Charlotte then raised his hands high, and a pale blue arm suddenly appeared and continued to extend, grabbing the dragon leader's foot. Then he swung his arms and flipped over, flying high again to adjust his landing position, and easily jumped onto the dragon leader's back.

The acrobatic-like movements made the blood pressure of the adventurers below rise and fall like a swing.

At this moment, Yujian Xiangye was still fighting with the dragon leader, drawing its attention.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Charlotte stepped on its back and ran forward, while pulling out the dagger she had been reluctant to discard for a long time from her waist. She then went to the wing area and repeatedly stabbed at the thin flesh.

Dragons, being enormous creatures, rely primarily on magic to fly, but this doesn't mean their wings are merely decorative; they serve a supporting function.

This event is also recorded in Monster Hunter.

As Charlotte poked several large holes in its wings, the dragon leader roared in pain, unable to maintain its flight altitude and posture, and its body began to tilt unconsciously.

Seeing the opportunity, Yu Jianxiangye seized the moment when the dragon leader was unable to focus on the battle or dodge, and did not let this excellent opportunity slip by.

The demonic sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light.

"I am the hero, the hero recognized by the goddess! I cannot fall here! Drink up!"

He shouted loudly.

With a flash of sword light, the other wing was instantly severed from its root.

Isn't this right, buddy?

If you can cut off the dragon's wings so easily, then what's the point of me doing all this?

Actually, Charlotte misunderstood.

Without his interference, the dragon leader would have dodged the moment Yu Jian Xiangye made his move. The Demon Sword Gram was extremely powerful and could not be used lightly, otherwise it could easily affect the caravan not far away.

The wingless dragon leader fell from the sky, and Charlotte nimbly jumped away at that moment.

There was a bang.

The enormous creature crashed to the ground, naturally kicking up a huge cloud of dust. Everyone covered their mouths and noses, but all stared intently at the spot where the dragon leader had fallen.

It's not dead yet.

Everyone knows about this.

The dragon leader, whose wings were damaged, was not likely to fall to his death from a great height.

"So, strike while the iron is hot!"

Charlotte shouted loudly the moment she saw the dragon head struggling to get up.

And after hearing this—

"Divine Light Fist!"

"Whirling Slash!"

"Light of Saber!!"

Yu Jianxiangye and Youyou launched a fierce attack, their powerful skills hitting the dragon leader one after another. The dragon let out another miserable cry and fell to the ground, no longer moving.
