Bring It On
『GURUOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!』
The roar was intensely loud. Ear splitting. Physically speaking.
How do I say it, it's like I could feel a hint of awareness in his roars back then, but it's completely off the rockers now.
The stupidly loud roar was brought by a stupidly big black dragon clad in thick fog.
There are ominous-looking patterns all over the dragon's black body alongside random thorns popping here and there.
His eyes are red the color of blood, and his fangs look toxic purple it's the perfect picture of an evil dragon.

All his Attributes have majorly shot up. Kinda curious about that low Luck though.
<<A Status-possessing living being will have their Luck Attribute lowered if they slaughter other living beings of the same race.>>
Slaughter... Don't tell me this dragon had been massacring other dragons to raise his level?
He must have gone on a leveling spree on that dragon-ruled continent. I should have gone there too. Uh, not like I got the time though.
He also got a ★ displayed next to his name. Just like Hiyoko, he must have evolved into a Unique Magic Beast, no, a Unique Dragon.
That new Unique Skill is proof.
<<Unique Skill [Mana Devourer], a Skill that nullifies and absorbs all mana-based attacks such as Offensive Spells, or Skill Abilities of Swordsmanship Skill and turn it into user's life force. Kajikawa Hikaru's 'Mana Blade Rev' and 'Mana Pile Bunker' are likely not exempted.>>
...This is the worst...!
That's one hell of an ability this darned oversized lizard got now of all time!
"Bad news, that darned lizard is now impervious to mana-based attacks...!"
"Eh... So like, magic and farslashes won't work?"
"Not only that, even abilities like Mana Blade don't work. Heck, it'll only get absorbed and heal that lizard instead... Crap, we got way fewer options now."
"Wh, what should we do?"
"...Reina, Hiyoko, you can absorb breath attacks but don't shoot it back at Black Dragon. He's only gonna reabsorb it and make things worse for us. Alma, you support me with Gravity Magic just as planned."
"Gravity Magic isn't absorbed?"
"Apparently he can't do it as well when it's formless. It may not heal him, but the effects will be diminished."
Presently, the only way to deal damage to this darned lizard is physical attacks boosted by Energy Control and that Meat Cleaving Kitchen Knife.
That knife's attack power randomly and constantly changes though, I shouldn't count on it. Heck, I dunno if that small knife is even gonna work on something that huge.
『VAGYAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!』
"...Here it comes!"
No choice, gotta make some big changes to our plan.
"I'll engage him in aerial combat! The plan is to keep him occupied for a whole day, we're gonna buy as much time as we can!"
"Eh, a whole day!? There's no way we can!"
"Ah, we'll be taking breaks someplace else with Fast Travel, feel free to tell me whenever you need a toilet break."
"U, un..."
"Kajikawa-san, you're too relaxed, I'm losing tension..."
『Cluuck...』
Now then, we should focus on defending and forget about attacking for now.
I'm counting on your support Menu-san, get ready to Fast Travel us away when things get too dicey to dodge.
<<Affirmative. Commencing support prioritizing Kajikawa Hikaru and his party safety.>>
『GYAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!』
"Bring it on you darned lizaaaaard!!!"
Roars and screams filled the vicinity.
Despite this hot blooded exchange, what's gonna entail is a snail paced battle. Yep.

~~~~~~~~Hero's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi, hello, it's Hero here.
...Other than lacking sleep a tad due to all the threats to my chastity during the last few nights, I'm as peppy as ever.
I think Levia and Olivie are charming girls in their own rights yet nobody dared to creep into their bedrooms, mysteriously enough.
I'mma dump anyone who even dared in a danger zone full of S-ranked magic beasts.
So yeah, despite their existence, I've been getting at least two, three men trying to get in my bed every single night.
I been telling 'em I'm a man (etc.)
No wait, did they think they'd get off light precisely because I'm a man? No no it's heavy. A felony. I'm the hero you know. Death penalty.
...I'm so done with all this talk.
Gonna pull myself together and sort out what we have on hands.
It's the fifth day since the war began. We recaptured towns and areas controlled by demons at super high pace.
Thanks to Kajikawa-san's utterly merciless strategies, those demons were all annihilated.
...There are several towns that got rained on by toxic blood and became uninhabitable. What are we gonna do about that later.
<<Oh you can neutralize that much toxin with a wide area purification magic cast by priest types just fine... Will take three days done by a dozen of priests though.>>
That's a lot of work.
Don't destroy the environments if you could help it please... Guess it's too late.
We're heading for the demon's hideout while other capable combatants are handling high S-ranked magic beasts that popped up all over the continent.
According to Radia, the entrance to this hideout is hidden in a rocky area under an illusion.
Looking at the Map Information Kajikawa-san sent me, that intel is apparently right on the money.
Heck, there's no telling where the exact entrance is with just that map info, would have taken up our time. Nice one, Radia.
...I'm told his older brother left behind this intel in his dying breath. Heavy, it's way heavy, Radia. I'm gonna treat him to a meal later.
An hour after we started searching, we found the entrance and slipped in successfully.
The illusion was apparently made with a technique that could fool even Menu.
<<The intel Kajikawa-san's Menu (Defau) only showed a range of area where the entrance is for some reason. This illusion was made with an alien technology... Could it be some sort of otherwordly magic.>>
Otherworld, what?
So it's 'something' brought back from that famous 'Floor 21'?
<<That's the likeliest explanation. Demon King's past self, Souma Ryuta was someone who returned from Floor 21. He likely brought back other items besides the alien object he used to reincarnate himself which should be under the current Demon King's possession now.>>
Isn't that real bad.
His Status is already hopelessly beyond strong, throw in that kind of wild cards and there's no way we can plan ahead.
Kajikawa-san told me 'It's probably gonna be okay', isn't he kinda optimistic for no reason...
<<I mean we could always use our own alien objects. We received that 'a medicine vial that endlessly supplies sex-change pills', wanna use one?>>
No ain't wanna! What the hell is even the point!
...Why do I have that kind of thing in my Item Screen even. Did I just take whatever back then...?
"Haah, sheesh... Ow."
"Whoa there, don't daydream and walk. Careful now."
"Ah, sorry."
"...Hm?"
I bumped into someone as I took a turn while sighing.
Someone, who?
"Ah."
"Eh?"
A demon of course.
Yup, it's a demon's hideout after all. Of course there's gonna be plenty.
Oh crap.
"I-intruders!! All hands, to battle statiooooon!!"
"What!? Do not let them escape! Kill them aaall!!"
Darnitall!! Busted cuz I got lost in thought about stupid things!
Ain't got no choice, bring it on y'all!
"...Another forceful takedown by Neora."
"I don't think there is any way to avoid it in this situation..."
Stop it, don't look at me with those cold eyes, you two.
I'm gonna be careful next time, promise. Everything's gonna be okay if we just exterminate them all.
