Chapter 106.

Regina tells me and Dolflare .

「You should wait a while before the match starts」

「Yes, Regina-sama… I will wait as long as you like」

「A short while is fine」

Regina gave instructions to Arti, Rosetta, and Tina to step back .

To prevent them from getting involved in the fight between me and Dolflare .

That way, I and Dolflare can fight to our hearts content .

「You should also step back for the time being」Regina said .

「Pigi」「MeeMee!」

Fluffy and Shiro stepped back together .

Fluffy was obedient, while Shiro stepped back while head-butting Arti and the rest .

By the way, Rubeum was still within Dion’s clothes, while completely erasing his presence .

And the divine spirit, Fay, was riding on Regina’s shoulder .

「You should also step back . If there is a stream of magic bullets, you should cover the humans」

「G r…」

Dolflare also told his child that we fought a little while back, to step back .

Dolflare’s son obediently moved to stand beside Rosetta .

And the dragon sat down like a dog .

After seeing the spectators step back, Dion came forward .

He stood between me and Dolflare .

「Are you both ready?」

「Yes」

「We can start anytime」

「Needless to say, this is not a fight to the death」

「I understand」

「I already know」

Dion nodded with satisfaction to our response .

And took a deep breath .

「Dragon God-sama! Please watch clearly the one-on-one fight between human, Will Wolms, and Dragon King Dolflare!」

Dion’s voice was very loud . Even the dragons flying in the skies must have heard it .

「We offer this battle to Dragon God-sama . Fight fairly with all your strength」

It’s the same speech as before the battle between us and the guard dragon .

It may be a set phrase before a match among Dragon God believers .

「Start!」

At the same time as Dion’s declaration of commencement, I started running .

Because I thought it would be polite to start by me who is the lower rank .

Dolflare did not move .

There are many ways to intercept me such as breath and magic bullets .

So, he must be waiting to see what I will do .

He was that careless .

Actually, it’s just the leeway of the strong, rather than carelessness .

The Dragon King wouldn’t go all out on a weak human child .

「HAAAAAAAAA!」

While crying out loudly, I strengthened my physical ability with magic .

While charging straight, making full use of my strengthened abilities, I continuously fired magic bullets .

Even then, Dolflare did not move . He did not even deploy a barrier .

He must be planning to receive the attack head on .

Or, maybe he didn’t feel the need to move .

All the magic bullets hit Dolflare’s scales .

But the magic bullets don’t break the scales . It was repelled on the scale’s surface .

At the same time as the magic bullets landed, I was close enough to strike Dolflare .

I pulled out the short sword on my waist, and unleashed a slash with all my strength .

The short sword is my own creation .

It’s the first weapon I made, not counting the weapon I made instantly for Arti in the battle with the beastkin .

ーーCRACK

Surprisingly, the sword broke from the root .

It may have been less perfect since it was a prototype weapon before making Arti’s sword .

But the fact that it wouldn’t cut through was already taken into account . I also thought it might break .

However, it was a little unexpected that it broke from the root . Thus, I was slightly shocked .

「HAAAAA!」

I jumped up, clad my fist with magic and punched Dolflare’s nose .

ーGON

It felt like punching steel .

It didn’t feel even the least bit effective .

Weapons manufacturing really is an imperative task to fight formidable enemies after all .

「That was a good move」

Dolflare said satisfiedly .

「For a child, that is」

「Thank you for your compliment!」

While thanking him, I unleashed a flying kick .

There was no reaction .

It would be better to think that my hand-to-hand combat wouldn’t work on opponents at the level of the Dragon King .

「It’s about time for me to attack」

「You needn’t hold back」

「Well then…」

Dolflare raised his right arm to attack .

He must have made the attack easy-to-read on purpose .

And at the moment when Dolflare tried to swing his right arm,

ーDAAN!

Dazzling light filled the surroundings .

A loud sound reverberated to the extent that I thought it would burst my eardrums .

The air trembled .

Dolflare was struck by lightning .

It’s the Thor Hammer that I prepared unknown to Dolflare .

A great magic of the lightning series .

In my past life, there was a time when I used Thor Hammer to annihilate a large horde of orcs which numbered in several hundreds .

Originally, it was used to mow down enemies in a wide range .

But this time, I converged all the lightning into a single point to penetrate through Dolflare .

「Did I unleash the full might of converging it?」

Right now, it will not take much time if I only fire the Thor Hammer .

The part that took time was converging the range into a single point .

In the case of time-consuming magic, it is better if the enemy does not notice .

If they notice it, they can set up a defense in time .

Therefore, I cried out loudly at every opportunity .

While shooting magic bullets, I attempted hand-to-hand battle to keep Dolflare’s attention on me .

In that way, I prepared Thor Hammer while concealing it behind Dolflare .
