○○○ S-Class Bahn Fail’s Point of View
I, of all people, was fascinated by Sasha’s magic. Yeah, you definitely couldn’t have talked about that magic beforehand. It was way too dangerous. To control it alone like that, what an interesting girl. Oh, have we arrived at the gate where the evil dragon was? There really were a lot of evil tribes, maybe because a boss was there? Should I try out my new technique?
《Bonk》
“Ow!” I was hand-chopped from behind. There’s only one person who would do that.
“What’d ya do that for, Rifia!” (Bahn)
That person was Rifia Rose, an elf, and also my party member. Whenever I was about to do something bad, she always put a stop to it.
“You were about to try a new technique just now, weren’t you? What are you doing, suddenly using magical power like that! I’m the one who will give them something big now. Please don’t go all out yet, everyone. …Oh?” (Rifia)
In perfect timing, the evil dragon mobilized the evil tribes.
“What good timing! Let’s go as well, then!” (Rifia)
Rifia’s started converging her magical power? What magic will she use?
The ice attribute in her left hand, and the storm attribute in her right hand…two attributes at once!
“Fufufufu, I’m shuddering in excitement. Thank you Mia, Himika, and Sasha. I only developed this magic from your advice, after all. Now, let me show you the combination magic of the ice and storm attributes. -----『Diamond Rain』” (Rifia)
A compressed sphere of liquid about 10 meters in diameter made of the ice and storm attributes appeared over Rifia, and then charged towards the evil tribes, where it rapidly grew bigger and expanded sideways. And then, a blizzard was fired at all the evil tribes including the evil dragon. No, something’s different. The place where the evil tribes were felt dreadfully cold, even though I was quite far from there. And, the evil tribes stopped moving, and raised terrible screams.
“Fuu, that should be fine. Looks like I succeeded.” (Rifia)
“Hey, Rifia, what was that magic? Something’s different from before!” (Bahn)
“Fufufu, Sasha taught me this. The perfected form of ice magic appears to be something called ‘Absolute Zero’ (-273℃). What I used this time was something close to that, ‘liquid nitrogen’ (-196℃).” (Rifia)
“Liquid nitrogen? Ice magic is a magic that attacks with frozen water, isn’t it? Is this different somehow?” (Bahn)
“I talked with her after the guild meeting ended yesterday; I had a question regarding that. And then she showed me it for real. I was shocked at the power of liquid nitrogen. Then, I thought ‘This has to be the completed form of ice magic’!” (Rifia)
Oi oi, isn’t this a little too different?
“The true meaning of ice magic is not ‘to attack your opponent with frozen water’, but ‘to completely freeze your opponent’. And this is how it looks like. Everyone is a little off.” (Rifia)
Uoah, she suddenly put something on a big rock. Oi oi, I don’t know what she put on there, but the big rock—raising white smock and a《hissss》noise—froze in the blink of an eye
Rifia《tap》gave the rock a little tap. Oi, are you kidding? The rock shattered into tiny pieces.
“Oi oi, what the hell did you do? That big rock shattered into pieces with a light tap!” (Bahn)
The knights were all staring at Rifia.
“This is the power of liquid nitrogen.” (Rifia)
“Wait a sec. What you did before was liquid nitrogen? I understand that the power is ridiculous. And that it’s currently pouring onto all theevil tribes. But, where did you get the liquid nitrogen?” (Bahn)
“I was wondering about that too, so I asked Sasha. Apparently, there is nitrogen in the air we constantly breathe. By gathering the nitrogen in the air with magic power and liquifying it with the image, you get liquid nitrogren. Imagining this is super difficult. According to Sasha, it freezes most things, and has the power to drastically reduce the strength of living creatures. Afterwards, I added the storm attribute to it and combined them, resulting in『Diamond Rain』. Oh, and don’t do it until Ice Magic and Magic Power Manipulation are at level ten. If you make a mistake in controlling it, you’ll be the one frozen and shattered into small pieces.” (Rifia)
Everyone imagined it after hearing that, and shuddered. Do it? It’s too dangerous!
Oh, the white mist has cleared.
“There are too many evil tribes this time, so the damage per creature isn’t too much. I don’t think too many died from that, either. But, parts of their defensive power have decreased by a lot, so attacks should go through easier. Do your best now, everyone.” (Rifia)
Does this mean that Mia and Himika developed combination magic, Sasha taught Rifia the completed form of Ice Magic, and Rifia made it possible to use the magic she used on them all in one night? She really is someone amazing.
“Leave the boss to us! Let’s go, Rifia!” (Bahn)
While the evil tribes faltered, we rushed into them.
“So this is the evil dragon, hmm? It’s about 20 meters in length, I think. It’s on the small side, so it’ll be quicker. Woah, it’s injured all over. That’s gotta hurt.” (Bahn)
“A human and an elf, huh? Be it Iris or you guys, I’ll kill you. Were you the ones who killed my comrades? Well, not like that matters to me, I’ll just kill you all.” (Jake)
Damn, that evil dragon, he’s really pissed off, huh? From what I see, he’s already cladding himself in evil power, and is very strong.
“Heh, you’ll be the one who dies. Entertain me, will you? Rifia, I’ll leave the breaths other than the red-hot to you!” (Bahn)
“Yes, give it your all.” (Rifia)
I clad myself in as much magical power as I could, and charged at him. First is a trial of strength!
“Human, I admire your courage. DIEEEE!” (Jake)
Oh, is this guy’s style similar to mine? My magic power-filled sword and the evil dragon’s tail struck one another.
《Clang》
Hou, we’re evenly matched? How about I do this, then?
I compressed the magic power on my sword more thinly and sharply. And, my supposedly evenly matched sword began to cut into his tail bit by bit.
“What!? Impossible! My tail is being cut into!?” (Jake)
The evil dragon withdrew his tail in a hurry, and attacked with a quake-attribute spear he summoned using evil magic. I avoided it easily, but he fired a red-hot breath at the same time. Oi oi, you have some nerve firing fire at me. Rifia knows this, too.
“Hey, evil dragon-san, red-hot breath won’t work on me. Want me to prove it?” (Bahn)
“A puny human like you can endure my breath? Yeah right! Die trying!” (Jake)
A dragon’s red-hot breath is powereful, sure. But, it’s no different than the Flame Magic that we humans use. The instant I put the flame attribute into『Magical Power Cladding』, I was wrapped in flames. Thank you, Sasha. I’ve gotten even stronger from learning this skill. I raised both of my hands and concentrated my magic power on the breath. Perfect. Now, how about I use this guy’s breath and try out a new technique!
First, I covered his breath with my magic power imbued with the flame attribute. Then, I changed it into blue flames, and breathed in the breath. As might be expected from a red-hot breath, it sure is putting up a fight in me. With all of my power….alright, I did it. Now these flames are all mine. Then, I concentrated them on my sword.
“Impossible! You converted my breath into your flames? And what is that blue flame?” (Jake)
“Well? How about it? Taste it for yourself!『Pale Slash』” (Bahn)
The slash attack I fired with my sword of white flames cut off the evil dragon’s right arm, and I tried to cut through its body while I was at it; although he was able to avoid that by retreating, it gave him a deep wound.
“GWAAAHH! Impossible, impossible, impossible! That sword can cut me!? Impossible, this can’t be! You…now I’m really mad. I won’t forgive you for thiiiiiis.” (Jake)
What! His evil power jumped up. Did he use a skill or something!? The second I thought I should take some distance for now, his tail appeared right in front of me. Fast! I defended by swiftly concentrating magic power on my right arm, but I was splendidly blown away.
“Guoooooooo!” (Bahn)
Tsk, he broke my right arm.
“Bahn,『Max Heal』” (Rifia)
“Thanks, Rifia, you saved me.” (Bahn)
“It suddenly got stronger. A skill, maybe?” (Rifia)
“Yeah, probably. He’s real troublesome.” (Bahn)
“Are you scared now, human? You’ve made me get serious, so I hope you’ll let me enjoy myself a little. First, eat this.” (Jake)
That bastard, he down swung his arms and made a Whirlwind Cut.
Then, how about we do one as well?
“Rifia!” (Bahn)
“Leave it to me,『Storm Tornado』” (Rifia)
Oi oi, isn’t『Storm Tornado』a wider technique? She compressed the technique to 10 meters in diameter and fired it. It swallowed up all of the evil dragon’s Whirlwind Cut, and when I thought that maybe it hit the evil dragon……
“Hou, what an interesting magic you’ve used. It’s close to my breath. But, it’s nothing!” (Jake)
---That bastard, it concentrated magic power on its left arm and changed the trajectory.
“Kakaka, if it doesn’t hit me directly, this is nothing. You should be aware of how mad I am that you cut my right arm! Let me show you a real Storm Breath. KAAAHHHHHH” (Jake)
Tsk, it breathed a Tornado Breath. And, it’s big!
“Fast! Leave it to me,『Storm Shield』. …Gu, it’s quite powerful.” (Rifia)
“Oi oi, don’t die yet. Next is this.” (Jake)
This guy! While breathing out his breath, he made countless quake-attribute spears like the one from before from his remaining left arm.
“Hey, try and stop them.” (Jake)
“Rifia, leave those to me! UOOOOOOOOH.” (Bahn)
Tsk, I’m handling the spears with all I got, but each one is very fast and heavy. This is bad, I can’t handle them all.
“Kuu, I’m at my limit.” (Bahn)
Is Rifia’s shield not lasting either? A real evil dragon is this strong, huh? Damn, I don’t have any leeway to use a trump card. -------Is this where I……
“『All Abilities Double』” (Akane)
What! I’ve suddenly gotten stronger. Now, I can do this!
“Rifia!” (Bahn)
“Yeah!” (Rifia)
“”HAAAAAAA”” (Bahn+Rifia)
She bounced back the Tornado Breath, and I dealt with all the spears.
“What! Where’d you get the power!?” (Jake)
Yeah, it definitely wasn’t something we could do with our current power.
“You saved us, Sasha.” (Bahn)
“Thanks. I really thought we were about to die.” (Rifia)
When I looked behind me, Sasha was there. The space-time magic『Instantaneous Movement』, huh? What a convenient skill.
“That was really close. 『Max Heal』. And don’t go saying things like ‘but that’s not fair’ now, okay?” (Akane)
Could we really say that in this situation?
“As if we’d say that! That bastard suddenly increased his power with a skill of some sort, but we should be fine if we have this trump card.” (Bahn)
“Subjugate the enemy quickly, as it’ll be cancelled in 30 minutes. Should I go?” (Akane)
“Ha, that’s plenty! Go to the other adventurers.” (Bahn)
“Got it, please do your best.” (Akane)
She’s left, huh? I can’t believe I of all people got estastic due to the completed form of flame magic and『Magic Power Cladding』. I’ve learned firsthand that “there will always be someone better”.
But thanks to Sasha, my head’s cooled down.
“Rifia, I’m going to get serious now as well. I can’t defeat the evil dragon by myself.” (Bahn)
“Yeah, I was ecstatic due to the magic as well. But my head’s cooled down thanks to Sasha. Let’s defeat the enemy effeciently as usual.” (Rifia)
“What did you do, you bastards? There’s signs that your power has increased suddenly!” (Jake)
“There’s no way I’d tell you, an enemy. 『Diamond Javelin』.” (Rifia)
“Orah.” (Bahn)
The instant『Diamond Javelin』(a spear of liquid nitrogen) froze its right leg, I cut it off. Oi oi, I cut it without any resistance. Liquid nitrogen…what dreadful power.
“GAAHHHHHH! I-Impossible, what was that magic? You bastards!” (Jake)
Oh, is that bastard trying to fly away?
“I won’t let you escape.『Ice Rifle』” (Rifia)
Ooh, large, pointed bits of rotating ice went through the evil dragon’s wings. She got some advice from Sasha, hmm? Ah, the evil dragon crashed into the ground. Kakah, how humiliating.
“AAAAAHHHH! This is the first time I’ve been humiliated this much, humans! I’ll finish you with this, then. KAAHHHHH” (Jake)
What!? He’s preparing for something!
“That’s…no way, Dragon’s Breath!?” (Rifia)
“What is that, Rifia?” (Bahn)
“It compresses the evilness within a dragon and releases it as a breath; it’s an attribute-less attack. Among us elves it’s said to be a ‘ultimate attack’.” (Rifia)
“Oi oi. Then to oppose it, we should use an ultimate attack stronger than Dragon’s Breath, right? Let’s do it. Rifia, this is Flame Magic’s ultimate attack.” (Bahn)
“Haa? What is it?” (Rifia)
“I just came up with it now. In short: it’s not a combination magic, but a combination attack. I’ll gather all my magical power on the tip of my sword and make it into blue flames after this. You will compress them even further, imagine it as a dragon, and release it with the storm attribute as the base. It’s like Will’s Tornado Bomb.” (Bahn)
“You want me to do that with no warning!? And, why a dragon?” (Rifia)
“We’ll just have to wing it!” (Bahn)
We won’t survive unless it succeeds. I believe in you, Rifia!
“Whatever, I got it. We’ll die if we don’t succeed anyway, so I’ll do it. I asked Sasha about the completed form of the storm attribute just in case, but I’ll be doing it without preparation now.” (Rifia)
You asked about that?
“Let’s do this. UOOOOOOOH!” (Bahn)
I raised my sword overhead, turned all my magical power into blue flames, and made flames more than 10 meters in diameter appear on the tip of my sword.
“Kuhahahaha! How interesting, are you trying to destroy my Dragon’s Breath with something like that? I’d like to see you try! DIEEEEEEE!” (Jake)
“RifiaaaaaaA!” (Bahn)
“Kuuuuu…it’s tough. Go, our dragooooNNN!!” (Rifia)
《BLAAAAAM》
The moment the evil dragon fired his breath, we also fired our bluish-white flame Dragon’s Breath. And the moment the two breaths collided with one another……
《BOOOOOOOOOOM》
A terrible roaring sound was made, and a blinding light was created in front of me.
“UOOOOOHH, We won’t loooooooose!!” (Bahn)
“Be annihilateeeeeeed!!” (Rifia)
“GUuuu, impossible, impossible! I’m being pushhhhed…m-my Dragon’s Breath i—————!” (Jake)
When the sound stopped and the light faded, the upper half of the evil dragon’s body had been annihilated; the evil dragon died, and its body collapsed to the ground.
“Yeaaahh! You okay, Rifia?” (Bahn)
No reply. Oi, don’t tell me she’s—. When I looked back, Rifia was there. But, she was hanging her head for some reason.
“AhhhhHhhhh! My important staaaaaaaaff!” (Rifia)
When I looked at it, her staff—made from a branch from the World Tree, and the thing Rifia valued as most important—was broken entirely. The gem she had just added to the end of her staff was gone as well.
“Oh, is that it? My bad.” (Bahn)
“Don’t just say ‘my bad’~~.” (Rifia)
If you guys notice anything wrong, please let me know!
See you ….perhaps soon?
