Ch 126.1

「You imbecile! If you wish to run to your death then so be it!」
The guns, flamboyantly attached to the deck of the ship, turned towards me.
However, immediately afterwards, a whirlwind broke out at the deck and the guns ended up pointing in random directions.
None of the gunshots even grazed me.
「…. Black Sphere Highness.」
「Thank you Silverie!」
I then cast teleport and appeared right beneath Volganon.
Gepard was shocked to see me disappear out of nowhere, and stopped Volganon from moving.
The reason I had run towards him just now, was to focus his attention on me.
After having done that I would then teleport out of sight. After losing sight of me, Gepard would then show an opening.
「HUH?!! Where did you go?!」
「I’m right here.」
I swung down Divine Sword Ainbelle and at the exact same time cast Time Square.
While time was stopped I cast Black Ball, Green Ball and White Ball.
――Fivefold Spell Synthesis Platinum Slash.
The sword flashed by with an intense light and the whole area was covered in pure white.
「AHHH?!! S-So bright!」
Platinum Slash can even destroy Dungeons that are created from highly dense mana. He can’t block this.
「D-did you do it?!」
I heard Milly asking from behind me.
The light gradually faded.
However, what appeared afterwards was the unscathed Volganon.
Ridiculous… It’s unscathed even after taking Platinum Slash…?
「Fukuakuakua! That scared me a bit! Didn’t I tell you that magic doesn’t work!」 laughed Gepard as if he was victorious.
I backed off.
I hadn’t expected that it wouldn’t take any damage.
「You should have run out of trump cards. Just surrender pea…」
In the middle of Gepard’s sentence, Volganon began to sink slowly.
「… You seem to have misunderstood. My attack isn’t over yet.」
The Platinum Slash just now wasn’t aimed at Volganon.
It was aimed beneath it. Right at the pit that is.
The floor split and Volganon’s hull tilted.
Gepard tried to spin the wheel and straighten it up, however it just continued to sink further within the hole.
「You won’t be able to straighten it with that huge frame of its. … Next time why not make it lighter?」 「ARGHHHHHHHH!!」
With a slamming sound, Volganon and Gepard fell into the hole.
「I hope Azalea didn’t see me this time.」
Thankfully this place was yet to be found out by the Magician Association.
The probability of a Dispatch Magician watching over it was low.
「…. Still, this is strange.」
I didn’t hear it crashing into the ground. No matter how I look at it, it should have crashed by now.
In order to wash away my doubt, I went ahead and peeked at the hole. It was then that I saw it.
Volganon was coming out of the pit.
「Kukuku!」
Gepard’s victorious laugh echoed in the area.
Volganon had sprouted wings and was flying by releasing fire from its bottom.
「I can see through all of your tricks, you bastard mages! The Battleship of Slaughter Volganon is made to cope with everything, be it land, sea, or air!」
「… That’s ridiculous.」
「Drop dead!」
Volganon’s countless weapons aimed at us.
This is bad.
I immediately cast Blue Wall and used the wall of ice as a shield.
However, the bullets that came at us like raindrops shattered the wall into pieces.
「Blue Gale!!」
Milly cast forth a Blue Gale, however it didn’t even reach its target.
We’ve been had. The enemy is in the air and on top of that magic doesn’t work on it. Manoeuvrability that doesn’t suit its huge body as well as scales that don’t let magic pass through… It’s just like a Dragon.
「Wait… a Dragon. A Dragon huh.」
In my previous life I had participated in a number of dragon hunts.
Even amongst the bosses they were viewed as formidable enemies, and one had to first bring them to the ground. Otherwise, you couldn’t fight them. That is precisely why a method to bring them down from the sky was created.
I have no choice but to use that method.
「Kuku!! You can’t do anything! …. let’s see, how should I trample down on you!」
Volganon turned around in mid-air and its guns once again aimed at us.
At the same time, I passed through the ice wall, exposing myself to the enemy.
「Zeph?!!」
「Everyone, wait there. … I’ll bring it down.」
「Kuku!! That’s a big mouth you have there, you brat!」
This method was certainly dangerous.
However, the current me had Time Square.
I can do it!
I picked the right timing and cast Time Square.
The spell I cast while time was stopped was… Teleport.
I was able to get a slight glimpse of Volganon’s deck. Under normal circumstances it would be hard to do it, however when time was stopped it was an easy task.
And just as I had planned I landed on top of Volganon’s deck.
Teleporting on top of a Dragon’s back and taking it down.
That was the so-called Dragon Topple method.
It was a method in which a single misstep could cause your death, however with Time Square I could easily land on top.
Even so, that was still terrifying.
After landing on the deck, in front of me I saw Gepard trapped within a small glass room.
「Y-You… You managed to fly up to here…!」
「This is nothing compared to a Dragon. It’s not impossible to do… Well then.」
I slowly but surely made my way towards Gepard while casting Scout Scope.
Gepard = Drone
Level 5
Magic Power Level 156 / 156
His Magic Power was so low that I couldn’t believe that he was a monster.
All of the power that we should have gotten with the monsterfication must have gone towards his intellect. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean I’ll go easy on him.
「This is as far as you go.」
「Kuku… Did you really think a genius researched such as I, wouldn’t have predicted such a development?」
Just after the words left Gepard’s mouth numerous holes opened on the deck.
And then metal worm-like wires appeared from them. They aimed at me while swelling and turning.
「… But even so, for a magician to be able to come up to the deck they must be quite skilled. And you see, my research requires a skilled magician so I’ll be capturing you. … Furthermore, you seem to be different from regular magicians. You’ll turn into a good specimen.」
「Hmph, you’re a hundred years too early to be able to capture me.」
「Kuku, look at the brat flapping his mouth. I’ll question you after I capture you!!」
The wires assaulted me from all directions. I immediately cast Red Crash, but the wires passed through the flames and continued to charge towards me.
They’re magic resistant! Still, I expected as much. If I can defeat Gepard before getting caught by the wires, it’s gonna be my win.
While dodging the wires I cast Time Square.
While time was stopped I cast Black Boots twice.
――Double Spell Synthesis Double Black Boots.
The wind surrounded me and my body instantly became light and I ran. While running from the wires I thought.
The glass wall of the small room where Gepard is… magic probably won’t work on it as well. I can tell without even trying it. If it wasn’t then he wouldn’t have even shown himself. I was prepared that magic wouldn’t work. That’s why this thing that I picked up before coming here will prove to be useful.
「T-That’s?!!」
「Surprised?」
The thing I took out from my pocked a clump of metal that Volganon had scattered earlier.
It was one of the bombs that would explode upon touching the ground. I had managed to snatch one of those unexploded bombs.
Standing on top of the ship I threw the bomb at Gepard. Immediately after that I cast Red Sphere.
As long as I jump off afterwards it’ll be my win.
The flames enveloped the bomb and caused a great explosion… Or that’s what was supposed to happen.
The bomb however, just fell and rolled on the deck.
「Wh…!! I-Impossible!!」
「That thing is not so simple that a cave man like you can just steal and use it… You’re mine.」
「I faile…」
The wires wrapped themselves around my legs.
They took advantage of my carelessness. The more I struggled the stronger their grip around my legs became. The wires were powerful and magic didn’t work on them. They easily tied me up.
Gepard watched as I was brought up in the air by the wires and laughed.
「Kuku!! What a splendid sight!」
「D-Damn it!!」
Each of the wires had terrifying strength!
They were squishing my body so hard that I could even hear my bones creaking.
I can’t stay like this.
「A..in…!」
I mustered all of the magic power that I could and cast Summon Servant.
「Be as quiet as possible.」 I said as I summoned Ain at Gepard’s blind spot.
With Gepard’s Magic Power maybe even Ain will be able to defeat him.
Ain turned towards me, raised her index finger in front of her mouth and then flew off. However, at that moment Gepard’s eyes shone.
「Hmph, I can see through you.」
「Kyaaa?!!」
Ain was easily caught by the wires.
Tsch… What a useless fellow. Well it’s not like I didn’t get caught myself as well. I guess it was a bit too hard for Ain.
「Good grief, I can’t let my guard down for even a second when I’m with you. I suppose I should hurt you a bit more… A little bit that is.」
「Huh…! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!!」
Just after Gepard’s words left his mouth, electricity ran through my whole body. I couldn’t put up with the numbing pain and screamed as hard as I could.
「Zeph! Zeph!!」 I could hear Milly’s voice from a distance.
I.. must… do something…
