Tatsumi drew the tail of the golden light while approaching the flying dragon at a furious speed. The sharp tip of the sword, which he thrusted forward, captured the body of the flying dragon. However, the flying dragon’s maneuverability was not good enough as he tried to judge Tatsumi’s attack by slipping his huge body sideways. Unfortunately for the dragon, Tatsumi’s flying speed surpa.s.sed it. Tatsumi’s sword cut the side of the dragon’s body which made the dragon slide sideways in order to avoid it. He ended up cutting a thin and small leg, combining three legs on one side. 

The slender legs of the sword-swallowing black dragon fell down to the ground,   scattering white bodily fluids all around. The newly wounded dragon emitted a jarring strange sound. It was definitely a roar of pain.

Tatsumi, who slashed the dragon’s leg, continued to fly with killing speed even after crossing, and drew a large arc in the open sky. Pointing to the dragon as the destination of the sword. 

By this time the flying dragon had already turned its head toward Tatsumi. The flame of anger has flared up even more violently because it has been injured in the sky of its own territory. 

The dragon flew at high speed towards Tatsumi, clanking with his sharp fangs. Tatsumi also soared into the sky. Both of them met in the sky yet again. The moment the Knights and soldiers of the Kingdom who were looking out from the top of the Wall thought Tatsumi would eliminate the flying dragon, it slipped sideways. While the flying dragon tried its best to avoid the sword, the head was still directed towards Tatsumi. The flying dragon was flaming from point-blank range. The dragon spat out the Crimson flame and it spread out greatly in the air, and it swallowed Tatsumi’s body. “I’m not sure whether this is a good idea or not, I’m not sure whether this is a good idea or not.”, was what Tatsumi thought while escaping from the encirclement of fire, breaking one of the four wings of a flying dragon. 

A piece of transparent wings from the dragon pours down to the ground. Tatsumi’s body, which continued to fly through it, disappeared into the glittering pieces that reflect the sunlight. 

In The next moment, Tatsumi swiftly slid down beneath the flying dragon’s body. At a speed that remained the same. Tatsumi is now at an advantage as he is faster than the dragon. The dragon’s speed is limited due to the loss of his wings. However, when it comes to the ability to turn in the air, the dragon still has an advantage. So Tatsumi stopped turning in the air and decided to just fly straight. 

Tatsumi had the ability to transition.  Using the transitioning ability, Tatsumi could change the direction of travel freely while moving in a straight line. Tatsumi kept repeating, “instant transition”, while flying straight toward the flying dragon.

Even though the mobility of the flying dragon was as high as a foul, it appeared at close range, it was completely impossible to avoid Tatsumi’s attack as he was flying at high speed.

Finally a hard sound echoed all over the city. Finally, the decisive sound of destruction was heard. After the intense battle between Tatsumi and the dragon. Or so everybody thought. 

However the sound was not heard from the body of the flying dragon, but from  Tatsumi’s hand. “……Huhhh?”, while flying, a sloppy sound spilled from Tatsumi’s mouth. The  same moment the blade of his sword rotated and fell to the ground.

The sound of destruction heard earlier was not the sound of the flying dragon meeting death, but the sound of Tatsumi’s sword  reaching its limit. 

Tatsumi’s sword was something that Calcedonia gave to him. Although it was definitely sharp, it was by no means a devil-sealing type. Just as any famous sword would eventually break if it was struck repeatedly against a dragon’s exoskeleton, Tatsumi’s sword made contact many times with a hard object, which was the flying dragon, and as a result, it exceeded its durability. 

During the fight between Tatsumi and the dragon, there has been countless injuries on the surface of the Dragon’s body. Out of the four wings the dragon had, some of them were chipped, and it was missing three legs on one side.

However, it is still not qualified to be called a mortal wound.

But the blade Tatsumi was using broke. How will he kill the flying dragon? Should I go to Calcedonia to get a replacement? Such an idea crossed over Tatsumi’s mind. However, if Tatsumi leaves the city, the flying Dragon will attack the soldiers atop the wall. No, it might even fly over the wall to attack the city.

While Tatsumi and the *Hiraya were battling in the air, they reached a considerable height which caused Tatsumi to feel a bit of stress. 

Tatsumi decides to abandon the sword, and draws out a dagger, which he kept as a spare weapon. However, even the sword used was small compared to the giant flying dragon. So how he was going to face the dragon with a mere dagger was the dilemma. 

Chasing after the dragon, Tatsumi was well aware of the sweat running down his forehead.

When she saw what fell from the sky, Calcedonia’s composed face turned pale, “… This is….husband’s.. s.s..sword” 

The blade of the broken sword rolled down the ground with a dry sound. Everyone in the vicinity saw it, and their expressions became similar to Calcedonia’s. 

Meanwhile In the sky, there was a  dogfight going on between Tatsumi and the flying dragon. 

The battlefield in which Tatsumi and the dragon were fighting was at a far height. It was so high up that even Jadokh’s bow and Lyurn’s Strength, could not reach it. 

“Tatsumi-Chan!!! This is beyond us. We  can do nothing at this point.”, Jadokh said as he distorted his face regretfully. He bit down on his lips with so much force that blood started dripping from the corners of his mouth. 

Jadokh was not the only one with such thoughts. Miloulle, Eru and Morganeich thought so as well. Taulorde and Bugarank also looked up at Tatsumi and the dragon flying in the sky quietly with a look of regret. Calcedonia, with worry in her ruby eyes, searched the blue skies for any sign of Tatsumi.

It was clearly not only the Knights and soldiers who were gathered on the walls.

The flying dragon is said to be – the king of the sky. Now the Dragon and the humans were fighting each other. What’s more, the dragon is overwhelmingly advantageous because he is in the sky.

It is no exaggeration to say that the unprecedented battle between humans and dragons was watched by all the people in the capital. In the royal castle, the four temples, the area where the aristocrats live, downtown where the general public lives, from the terrace or veranda, from the windows of people’s houses and from the streets. The people were silent, looking up at the battle that unfolded in the firmament.
