The 5000-year-old Herbivorous Dragon-Chapter 107 - Miss Spirit and the Cursed Sword

「Alright Revendia, I’ll use this sword to instantly sweep out the mannequins, so use that opening to find our escape route out of this barrier.」

「Ah, have you finished your conversation? But are you sure it’s okay? Despite having a strong sword, you haven’t learnt anything about swordsmanship yet right?」

「Don’t, underestimate me.」

The cursed sword turned its attention in my direction and intimidated me.

「If I only, controlled his body, it’s simple to turn, this brat into a master. Though there will be, repercussions to his body.」

「Hah, I’m forced to train everyday until just before my heart stops anyway, if with only a bit of repercussion, there won’t be any problems. Just leave my life intact, or else I won’t be able to get you any dragon blood.」

「Very well…」

The cursed sword stretched out a blackish rust colored light towards Raiottos arm, and it clung onto it, making his arm look like it was wrapped in thorns.

For a moment, I thought Raiotto was taken over again but his eyes didn’t change color.

「Let’s go!」

「Ah」

Shouting such, Raiotto boldly jumped down from my back.

There was quite a distance towards the ground, to be able to jump without any hesitation. Though he had the strengthening from the sword, it would take a lot of courage to-

「Uooohhaaa!!! Fall-!! I’m falling!」

「Shut up. Too loud.」

I heard Raiotto screaming from where I was, I had to retract my words from earlier.

It seems like all of Raiotto’s movements are controlled by the cursed sword.

How pitiful.

However the result was tremendous.

As soon as Raiotto landed in the horde of mannequins, they all ran towards him but with just one swing of the cursed sword, all the mannequins were cut in half at the waist.

「Oooh! This is some reliable stuff!」

The moment I was rejoicing, my body started to tilt to one side.

Wondering what had happened, I looked down and I saw that from Raiotto’s slash just now, he had cut the black claw pillar that was supporting my body.

Having received damage beyond what it could handle, it started to fracture into smaller pieces.

「Not gooooood!!!」

Having lost the support for my body, I started falling down to the ground.

That’s right. I need to hurry and change the black claws shape into a cushion. However, I was too agitated and the image I conjured up wouldn’t stabilize in my mind.

「Mountain, soft.」

But, a voice was heard from above my head. It was the spirit who was sitting straddling my horn.

With the spirit’s muttering, the claw started to inflate and by the time we crashed into the ground, it had softly wrapped around my body.

I breathed a sigh of relief but I instantly remembered where I was - inside the horde of mannequins.

As expected, the mannequins holding swords and axes charged at me like a raging tide.

「Miss, s-spirit, full speed ahead! Also, protect my body.」

「Affirmative.」

My legs instantly accelerated.

From the front, the black claws changed into a windscreen shaped shield which repulsed all the swords and axes in our way.

We charged out using the momentum- was what I was expecting.

To be more accurate, after charging out, the spirit did a U-turn with my body and was preparing to charge in again.

「Eh, excuse me? Miss Spirit?」

「Leave safely.」

「Why are you trying to charge back into the mannequins? I don’t want to experience something so scary again.」

「Mountain, not move, then unafraid of anything.」

「Aren’t we moving a lot? And I’m extremely afraid.」

My tears couldn’t reach the spirit though.

However, I understood the spirits’ intentions. While the situation is turning in our favor, instead of running around, we should use this chance to get rid of more mannequins.

— All in order to leave safely.

「But as I thought, doing this is extremely bad for my mental health—!!」

「Mountain, run them down.」

Running full speed with a shield deployed in front, I(More accurately, the spirit) ran over all the mannequins in my way.

Using the shield to destroy the mannequins, they made *gasha gasha* noises as we passed by but the pressure of this predicament also slowly destroyed my heart.

「Hyahaaha!! Trash!! Can you, defeat meee!!」

On the other side, Raiotto’s figure reflecting on the edge of my vision was also in the same situation.

He dexterously danced around with inhuman movements and cut them down while seemingly toying with them, but Raiotto himself looked a lot more emaciated than compared to a few minutes earlier.

Perhaps his consciousness was blurry from moving at such a high speed and I think I can see his soul halfway out of his mouth.

「Not good… My consciousness…」

「Like hell I care, suck it up, brat!」

「Miss Spirit, me too, this is impossible…」

「Leave safely.」

The horde of mannequins were decreasing at a rapid pace visible to the eyes and the ground was covered in their remains.

It’s just that, this result was not due to me or Raiotto, no matter how you think about it, it was due to the spirit and the cursed sword.

「Fuuhn… As I thought, just playing with dolls won’t stand a chance against them huh.」

By the time almost all the mannequins were destroyed, Sousou, standing above with the crimson moon behind, muttered in annoyance.

「In that case, I’ll let you have even more fun Revendia. How about this doll?」

From Sousou’s hand came an uncountable number of magic threads that poured down onto the whole fake capital.

Those threads attached themselves to the debris and pulled them and wove them skillfully together into a single shape.

-What appeared was a giant made from the debris of the whole city.

「Now what will you do Revendia? This golem is different from the small tricks before, if you use your current powers, it might be a bit tough right?」

Small tricks.

‘The spirit’s full speed charge’ was the highest possible grade of attack I could do, but to the opponent, it was merely recognized as small tricks. No, even that would be judging it too high.

「Mr. Cu-cursed Sword, can you deal with this guy with your powers—?」

「Don’t talk crazy, it’s too big.」

「I thought so.」

「Wait a minute Revendia, I have a plan.」

At this moment, Raiotto expressed his idea while out of breath.

「Eh, what? What kind of idea?」

「Firstly, I’ll buy time with this sword. I’ll taunt it and run around so that I can at least be a decoy.」

「Yeah, and then?」

「Using that opening, you’ll charge up your powers- then regain your true powers. If you returned to the true appearance of the Evil Dragon Revendia then that kind if giant won’t be a match for you right?」

「Before anything, that strategy has a huge flaw…」

No matter how much power I charge up, this is as far as I’ll get. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

In fact my “true power” is much weaker than when the spirit is helping me.

「Now then! It’s time for round two, Revendia!」

However, Sousou’s golem heartlessly charged towards us.

It was unbelievably big. If it attacked just once, we wouldn’t even be able to run out of its attack range.

Of course, defending would also be useless.

「Well, I guess this is it…」

The moment the golem started to swing its fist.

Suddenly, the whole barrier shook like it was hit by a huge earthquake.

Then, in the sky that was stained pitch black, a single huge crack appeared.

-That crack looked like the shape of a huge claw.

「Kuh…! Being interrupted at the best moment!」

Sousou, who was in the sky, spoke with an agitated voice.

The barrier was gradually being repaired but at the moment, the golem had stopped moving and its arms and legs were starting to collapse.

I can’t be wrong.

Rēko from outside is probably trying to force the barrier open.
