Chapter 81

81 – A New Power

A flight of black dragons were staying aloft in the scarlet sky .

The sunset is dyeing its color towards the clouds in the sky .

The vibrant orange light encroached deep into the forest .

The gleaming orange light pierces through the crevices between the trees .

The dragon knights hovering in the sky looks like they’re prepared to fight .

A person who wields a lance in his hand .

A person who was drawing his bow .

A person who carries some kind of staff .

However, they still haven’t attacked .

Were they thinking that the Five Dragon Warriors were my hostages?

Or is it that they feel like it would be bad news for them if they were to fight against the opponent who defeated “The Humanity’s Strongest” himself?

This is one of the weak points of a group who only have one person as their absolute commander .

If they were to lose their boss, their movement would become duller .

Such a group would often get weaker when their general were taken down .

That’s the first thing that I knew from the stories on the delinquent manga I’ve read before .

[Status Open . ]

I called out my status to check my MP .

I took a quick glance at it .

The numerical value of my MP is decreasing at a tremendous speed for every second that passes .

It would be impossible for me to maintain this kind of situation for a long time .

[Let’s quickly end this, Pigimaru . ]

[Pigii!]

The protrusions emitted phosphorescence after I injected magic energy unto it .

[Piigggiiiiiiiiiiii———!]

Basshhuuuuu!

Multiple protrusions began growing simultaneously spreading out towards the sunset-dyed skies .

They’re growing at a rapid pace .

[W- What the…!?]

A scene where countless amount of roots were stretching out towards the sky .

These protrusion strike fast as if they’re arrows flying as they approach the group of prey, the dragon knights .

[Kuhh!? Don’t be flustered! C- Cut them down—!]

Shhhiiinn!

One of the dragon knights tried slashing through the sky with his sword .

[Whaa!? They’ve stopped…!?]

The protrusion didn’t extend out towards the dragon knight and they suddenly stopped before they could reach their group .

The dragon knights look like they’re pretty confused .

They must have thought that those protrusions would swoop down on them because of how fast they’re flying .

The problem is the place where those protrusions have stopped .

They’ve stopped approximately 10 meters in front of the dragon knights who were flying in the sky .

That means…

They’re within the 20 meter range .

Extending out my hands toward the air .

Yes, from here on out—

[]

They would be able to reach these guys .

[Nuuahhh!?]

[The dragon’s movement…!?]

[No… Even our… movement…!?]

Currently, half of Pigimaru is combined with “myself” .

Therefore, now that I’m in this situation where I’m connected with him—

The distance from the tip of the protrusions would become the basis of my 20 meter range .

[Kuh! Is it that strange tentacle’s ability!?]

Shhwwwinnng!

[You monster!]

The dragon knight who was slightly out of my range threw his sword .

Slaaaap!

One of the protrusions were slashed into two pieces .

[Tsk . ]

I can’t help but click my tongue .

This is my first time using this in actual battle, so I’m still not accustomed to operating this tentacles yet .

There were some people that have leaked away from my skill .

I wasn’t able to properly judge the distance huh…

[Pigimaru, are you okay…!?]

[Pii♪]
