There was ten seconds left. The quantity of power that I had left was very small as properly. Equipping any extra artillery could be very harmful, and I’d run of ammo to make use of these weapons, anyway.
However, there may be nonetheless one thing I needed to do. No, it was one thing that solely I may do.
「Seiryu, fly at full velocity! In direction of the sky……!」
「AFFIRMATIVE!!」
Proper about now, Kutanid has the benefit over us in the case of terrain. So what can we do proper now? The one factor you CAN do to regain the higher hand it to easily overwrite that benefit of his. And make no mistake, you silly Kutanid. The sky belongs to me and Seiryu alone!
The invisible street solely I may see was stretching proper in entrance of my eyes in a straight line and it was going vertically in direction of the sky. I fly up like a water present throughout a water fountain present, or like salmon going up the stream. Ultimately overtaking Kutanid, the lone blue dragon raises with the darkish night time sky in as its background.
「Launch!」
4…… Three…… Two…… One…… I’m gonna make it in time!
That is harmful. Just one second left earlier than the appointed time of three minute is over…… Not having the ability to put on this factor once more and do maneuvers like that sucks, but when that’s going to let me beat Kutanid with it, I’d say it’s all however price it.
I throw all of the components of the management unit apart from the helmet again into my stock, after which I give Seiryu one final order, capitalizing on the truth that it’s nonetheless operational.
「Ram me into that fucker……!」
I equip each Yuzuki’s and mix them right into a single sword that I maintain in my left arm. Then I lengthen my proper arm in direction of Seiryu. The blue dragon grabbed my arm and began to swing me round with all of the remaining fumes of its power earlier than it will definitely threw me like a hammer throughout the Olympic Video games…… and I used to be despatched flying straight down consequently.
Whereas falling at a particularly excessive velocity, manner greater than the Seiryu that was plummeting in direction of the bottom devoid of energy, I thrust my blade ahead and activate a ability. Which was actually exhausting to do, contemplating my present circumstances. My complete physique is being enveloped in a pale, vivid mild that trails behind me like a tail of a meteorite, and due to the blessings of legal guidelines of physics it was a second at which Crescent Vorpal was in a position to surpass Kutanid, even when just for a quick second.
It was at this second that Kutanid, who was nonetheless attempting to smash Rust with its tentacles, lastly observed what was happening and turned in direction of me. It tried to maneuver out of the way in which on the final potential second…… however it was already too late and the blow landed.
「Say your prayers, Kutanid……!!」
My sword, now gaining further velocity, penetration and energy, was tearing via the air with such would possibly that it was inflicting loud bursts and tearing noises.
The facility the blade has gained was sufficient to crush the final jewel on Kutanid’s again to items and ship it flying in direction of the bottom. Nevertheless, the value for doing that was certainly excessive.
「Guah……!」
I fell to the bottom from about ten meters away, since that was the purpose the place Kutanid was within the air. I used to be like a ball thrown by a pitching machine, however as a substitute of going horizontally I used to be going vertically. In fact, as soon as I crush into one thing, the impression will strike at me with all of its would possibly.
What’s extra, proper about now I’ve put my the whole lot into assault, forsaking different abilities and touchdown skills for the sake of energy. After I hit the bottom, the legal guidelines of physics will be sure that the touchdown will likely be a painful one.
My complete physique goes numb and I really feel weak. This should imply that my HP has dropped to the edge of 1 as soon as once more. I managed to outlive that, however since I landed on Kutanid’s again, I’m going to fall from it and hit the bottom once more.
I’m already out of MP. Seiryu received’t save me, as a result of it has run out of gasoline. Even when somebody was to hurry in direction of me,, they might not make it in time. And even so, I might nonetheless maintain injury.
(Does that imply that I’m going to die this time for positive……?)
Nevertheless, though I really feel numb and weak, I can nonetheless transfer my physique. And with these final ounces of energy left in me, there was just one factor I wished to say to my buddies down under.
「…… End it!!」
The final arrow is shot. With no approach to defend towards it, the final glowing jewel on Kutanid’s again is being destroyed, leaving Kutanid with no extra tentacles to battle us with. It was left by itself.
Rei runs. She picks up her sledgehammer from the bottom, bounces off the bottom after which off Kutanid’s physique, after which slams the sledgehammer proper in between Kutanid’s neck and collarbone.
The impression causes Kutanid to boost its face in ache, making it utterly uncovered and weak.
That is it. A checkmate. Proper now, Akitsu Akane jumps into the air and prepares to fireside the Dragon Breath method.
That is it. Everybody did their best possible simply to get us to this very second. Akitsu Akane takes a deep breath, and a wave of dragon hearth begins to burn and swell within his mouth.
Unexpectedly, the uncovered face of Akitsu Akane turns in direction of me and there was a sight of hesitation on it. I used to be questioning why it will be like then, after which it occurred to me.
I see, now I get it. As I’m proper now, I might even be hit with the Dragon’s Breath…… It was such a trivial matter that it by no means even crossed my thoughts. I used to be going to die as properly, right here on the very finish.
If that’s the case, then there was just one factor left for me to do. Whereas falling to the bottom, I present a thumbs—up in direction of Akitsu Akane, and inform him simply that.
「Get this factor over with!」
There was no reply. Nevertheless, there was no hesitation in Akitsu Akane’s actions anymore.
「Now then, Kutanid, I presume that that is going to be a primary time ever so that you can expertise one thing fairly like this. So go forward and savor this expertise……」
The bottom is coming ever so nearer. Nonetheless, my eyes wouldn’t shut. The very last thing I noticed was the flash of one thing that appeared like a dragon and a faint glow of one thing that resembled tears being shed by somebody. It fills my complete visual field……
After which I used to be swallowed up into the sunshine alongside Kutanid, and died.
