Vol 4: Chapter 28
The diator and I stared down each other for about 10 seconds.
Then the diator kicked the ground and broke into a dash. The ground which was already gouged was further gouged out by his kick.
「—Run!」
「—We’ll get dragged in!」
「—Help !」
The military personnel ran away from the scene screaming.
The evil boss woman was hidden behind the cloud of dust, but I can’t afford to worry about her right now.
『Sheee!』
When the diator’s right hook ca for my face, I bent down and dodged it. I was supposed to have completely dodged his attack, but I felt my hair being pulled back by the air pressure.
The diator followed up his attack with a left straight – if I try to defend it, my bones will turn into fine dust.
–Ginnn.
I tried to slash the diator’s left arm with my dagger, but it failed to cut his arm despite having mithril in its blade. I was only able to deflect his arm up.
「Then how about this then?」
If physical attack does not work — I reach my hand towards the diator’s defenseless chest and release【Lightning Magic】.
『Gah』
Lightning attack circulated through the diator’s body, emitting a bluish light.
A part of the lightning that I couldn’t control burned my left hand which I imdiately healed with【Healing Magic】.
「——Kuh.」
I instantly jumped back.
Instead of collapsing, the diator threw a yakuza kick with his right foot.
I temporarily created distance between us.
Smoke spouted out of his armor instead of the black flas, but the diator was glaring at sharply.
(He is quite strong.)
He seems to be much stronger than when I fought him in the Kruvan Holy Kingdom.
At that ti, the Holy King and the Border Earl were the main attackers, but the diator didn’t move as quickly nor was he as tough as he is now.
I don’t know if it was because he took over Louis’ body, or because this is his ho ground.
(In terms of strength, he is on par with a “dragon”.)
It is said that dragons are the diator in the “Front World”. Then, the diator in the “Back World” may have a na other than “diator”, but I don’t know what it is.
I only know that he is a humanoid, eerie bastard.
『Is that all you’ve got?』
The diator put his right hand on his neck and cracked his neck. Smoke escaped through the gaps in his armor, and flas once again started spouting out.
『If you thought of defeating a diator with that kind of magic, you are beyond pathetic.』
「…………」
『Your movent is better than the average human, but that’s the extent of it. Now, die.』
The diator charged at again. His punches followed a simple trajectory and were easy to dodge—but that simplistic attack was the most troubleso.
It does not give ti to catch my breath.
And I couldn’t find a gap to escape out of the flurry of attacks.
Speaking of, I was analyzing the diator with【World Ruler】while avoiding his attacks.
(The armor is almost completely made of mithril. Its dark purple colour is the result of a special processing… A processing to dramatically increase the hardness. The black fla spouting out is the diator’s very life force. Beyond the armor, the presence of bones or muscles cannot be confird.)
The dragon was a creature close to a reptile.
If so, what kind of a creature is the diator?
(This is a sorcery-based creature.)
It is similar in nature to the Juggernaut I fought in the “Labyrinth of Fear”.
The diator has much higher intelligence than that automaton—and it can make decisions and act like an actual living creature.
Although the structure is completely different from that of the Juggernaut, there are so things in common.
(If I crush the core in his body, he will die.)
I wonder what kind of chanism it works on? In the Lev Magic Empire, sothing like the Juggernaut would be considered a “Heroic Gear”, but a diator is even more impressive.
How much can I unravel with【World Ruler】?
In terms of Overlimit, the diator may be the equal to a 9-star skill orb.
(But I am certain it must have been made by soone.)
I dodged the diator’s kick and used【Wind Magic】to create distance, but in the blink of an eye, the diator closed the distance and threw a punch.
『Your attacks will not work. You can run as much as you want, but I don’t get fatigued.』
「Is it really okay for you to give such a hint?」
『There are all kinds of Child of Disaster. You seem to be the powerless kind.』
「Oh is that so–」
I evaded the diator’s attack and released a full power roundhouse kick by making my body like a spring and with correction from【Support Magic】.
The kick landed on the diator’s belly, blowing him away into a pile of debris, kicking up a cloud of dust.
「—Seems like I was underestimated.」
『Sothing is not right. You, how many skill orbs do you have?』
The diator tossed away the debris piled on him and stood up without a scratch.
To break that mithril armor, I would also need a mithril weapon—well, that’s impossible.
「Hurry it up already. Didn’t you say you wanted to eliminate ? Or are you going to run away if I say I’ve got 100 or 200 skills?」
『…………』
It was simply a cheap provocation, but it succeeded in taunting the diator. …Is this thing really a sorcery-based creature? It feels very much like a normal creature.
『Die!!』
The diator jumped up by kicking the debris underneath, and rushed at from the sky at high velocity.
A movent that implies high faith in its own armor. The diator probably believes that it will never break.
(Even if his fighting ability is high…)
I raised my right hand.
I cannot miss this chance.
What I shot out was –【Fire Magic】.
The highest level of magic I learned,【Fire Magic ★★★★】.
Flas surged up due to pure heat condensation. It transford into a huge hellfire and enveloped the diator.
『Fool, I said that magic doesn’t work.』
The diator slipped through the flas.
(…His intelligence is low.)
I grinned.
