511 Fly King and Dragon King

I glare at the distant Saint.

Very well If thats how you want to do things, Ill make you regret it. Shes still far away, but if I can hit her, itll do good damage. Its worth it to try.

I lift my foreleg up high, then slash it down towards Lilixira. Through [Dimension Claw], my claw attack ignores the distance. The space warps, and my claw cuts deep through her shoulder, chest, and legs.

Aha

Her arm flies off, and blood spurts from her body. The green dragon shes riding is also cut deeply. It writhes in pain, throwing Lilixira from its back and to the ground.

N-no way? I hit her too easily. I didnt think it would be this easy. I stare in shock, unable to believe what Im seeing.

390 experience points have been acquired.

Due to the title skill [Walking Egg: Lv -], an additional 390 experience points have been acquired.

Gods Voice announces my experience points reward. Finally, I realise. Its far too little experience to be Lilixira.

I-its wrong! That was just a fake, someone who looked like her!

I feel a tingling sensation on my skin as the nearby mana moves strangely. Still thinking about the fake Lilixira, my response is delayed.

A bright white light suddenly cuts across my vision, and I feel a burning heat. A bundle of lightning has enveloped my body, burning my skin black.

I recognise this sensation. Its the [Lightning Strike] skill that Ive been hit by once before The one who used it on me was the [Diabolos] who is my father in this world, Dragon King Eldia.

I spot a huge shadow crawling across the ground. It has a dazzling body surface and four giant wings.

That figure is unmistakably that of the Dragon King Eldia. The same Eldia who hated humans so much, is now following Lilixira, the representative of humankind.

I wonder why for a moment, but then immediately come to the answer. Lilixira chose Eldia to fill her second [Spirit Servant] slot.

Eldia

Species: Diabolos

Condition: Spirit

Lv: 130/130 (locked)

HP: 1697/1697

MP: 1284/1316

Monsters as powerful as Eldia arent common. His attack power exceeds even that of Beelzebub, the Magic Beast King of this era.

I try using [Telepathy], but theres no response. In contrast to Beelzebubs free chatter, it seems that Eldias will is, or rather it looks like his entire personality has been erased. There might be some kind of limitation placed on his mind to prevent him from striking back at Lilixira.

I see, so Lilixira went to collect Eldia. When we fought against him together, it seemed like she intentionally threw away an opportunity to finish him off. I had been thinking that was to prevent me from levelling up, but that might not have been all. She might have already been set on using him as a [Spirit Servant] at that time, and had been planning on returning to collect him in secret.

I had hoped Eldia could forget about things like destiny and live peacefully, away from any big battles. But instead he got wrapped up, and his power has ended up being used by Lilixira. He probably regrets this a great deal, too.

All I can do now is release him from Lilixiras [Spirit Servant].

Eldia turns his soulless eyes towards me, then kicks off the ground and spreads his wings. I thought for sure hed use his speciality [Dragoflare], but it looks like hes aiming for close combat. It seems Lilixira really is set on finishing this in a single clash. Nothing else seems possible.

Dont forget about me!

As Eldia approaches from the ground, Beelzebub closes in from the sky. Theyre trying to pincer me. It seems their plan was to distract me with a fake Lilixira, hit me with Eldias [Lightning Strike] to earn some damage, and then close in with a pincer attack while Im still stunned.

[Darkness Rain]!

Beelzebub spreads his wings wide. A huge magic circle deploys behind him, and sheets of purple light lash down. Hes using a wide range skill to secure reliable damage. Thats Lilixiras plan, no doubt.

I think. Do I dodge, block, or counter attack one of them?

The zephyr-riding Holy Knights also closing in, but they shouldnt be able to do much damage. Their priority is low. I took a blast of Eldias [Lightning Strike], but the damage isnt fatal.

[Irushia]

Species: Oneiros

Condition: Normal

Lv: 105/150

HP: 3849/4261

MP: 4172/4394

Even ignoring healing, I could take ten hits like that and survive. Back when I was ouroboros, getting it twice would have been fatal.

Sorry, Eldia! I dont have room to hesitate!

I ignore Beelzebub and dive down towards Eldia. The purple lights of [Darkness Rain] pelt my back, piercing through my skin and gouging out flesh. Its a low-power wide-range magic, and Beelzebubs magic stat is lower than his attack stat.

Even so, the damage isnt negligible But its a necessary cost. Once Im surrounded, Ive no choice but to fight while prepared to take some damage. Whats crucial now is cutting down their strength.
