What would happen to humans if they were faced with a strong shock or fear that came so suddenly?

“….Huh?”

The correct answer is to freeze in place without realizing the current situation.

Now… what happened?

The left side of the leader’s body, which had pushed him away, was literally torn apart.

Blood is pouring out of the abdomen, and the left arm is already torn off and flying far into the distance.

“…………!”

At the same time, Seris encountered sparkling eyes in the shimmering air.

Vertically slit pupils and eyes that were orange and red, as if representing the flames of hell.

“…….Get away from me-!”

Soak-ae-!

Eventually, Seris assessed the current situation and swung the sword with her boiling anger. As if it could cut down any tough monster in an instant.

……!

Flap-!

At the same time, the wave threw away the leader who had pierced it and flew high into the sky, avoiding Seris’ attack.

At the same time, the shimmering began to gradually reveal a single shape.

Burning red eyes, as if showing hatred for the world.

It was incomparably bigger than the previous dragon, and its red body seemed to be soaked in blood.

The flapping of huge wings, stronger than the wind from a windmill.

Crackling-!

Seris gritted her teeth when she realized that the disaster before her eyes was not the monster from before, but the monster in the request.

-Um…what is that…!

-…Captain!!

– Wow… crazy, that wasn’t the end?!

At the same time, from behind, you can hear the leader’s sudden attack and the sounds of mercenary members panicking at the sight of the disaster that has been revealed.

Hmm-!

“…Birong, Ken!! Move the leader to a safe place!! And the rest of the units… stay away!!”

He filled his voice with mana and shouted loudly, comparable to the roar of a dragon. Trying to calm down his boiling emotions, he looked up at the dragon with rather cold eyes.

I love you so much!

The dragon, which was looking at Birong and Ken who hurriedly ran to his instructions, descended so quickly that it was barely visible to Seris.

They are probably trying to attack those who are trying to move the leader.

“….Get out of the way-!”

Cheaeng-!

A clear, hard-to-believe sound of a sharp sword colliding with a dragon’s claws echoed throughout the canyon.

…….!

“Pfft!”

Due to the wind from each other’s strength and attacks, Seris and the dragon fell far apart.

‘What kind of power…!’

Even though it was an attack that he used with all his might, his arm went numb just from being hit by the dragon’s light attack.

Is this… a 5-star monster? It was incomparably stronger than the fake dragon from before. Strength, momentum, and magical power.

…That’s right. Do you think you’ll give up?

“….No. I can never give up.”

Ouch…!

Seris grasped the handle of the sword with all her might. I will cut that monster that hurt you in half and create a golden future again.

……………….

“…Why are you looking at me like you’re interested, you son of a bitch!”

Tadadadadak-!

Cerys ran away, boiling with anger at the dragon who was looking at her with interest, as if it had feelings.

Emotions become increasingly heightened, and more and more strength is exerted throughout the body. Still, I can’t stop.

visor-! Chae-chaeng-!

I swat away the dragon’s claws and raise my sword. What it’s trying to chew with its large maw, it cuts off the handle and then cuts it off again.

“Aaaah-!”

Even if it means burning this body, I will definitely kill this monster. Under that belief, Seris’ attacks became increasingly sharper.

Sigh-!

“….Ugh!”

However, even such attacks from Seris were unable to deliver a significant hit to the dragon. Rather, Seris stumbled from the slash inflicted by the dragon, which found a gap in Seris’ attack.

‘…Did you hurt your left abdomen?’

As the terrible pain surges through me, my body becomes hot. Even if you try to stop the bleeding, the blood is leaking out all the time.

At the same time, I feel dizzy and even a little dizzy.

no. It can’t stop like this. A wound of this magnitude cannot stop me.

Compared to the pain of the leader who sacrificed his life countless times for me, it must be insignificant.

“….I cut you down. I will save the leader.”

Cutting down the disaster, my savior… my light. I will save you.

As my will became stronger, my body no longer trembled and I did not even feel pain.

The tip of the sword raised against the dragon was sharp, and strength filled my entire body.

Wooow-!

At that time, when the will to cut down the enemy and save the leader was filling my heart, the sword vibrated as if it was alive.

As if his mana and the sword resonated, it seemed like he could freely use the sword like his limbs.

[Conditions met!]

[Ego Weapon has chosen a worthy person as its owner!]

[Owner: Seris]

[Unique Ability (Ego Weapon): This beautiful sword is imbued with will as if it were alive, and can change its form by resonating with the user’s will. The Ego Weapon that has developed this ability will never be broken and will be sharp enough to cut even Mithril in an instant!]

[Description: A treasured sword held by a hero who conquered the continent in the past. The weapon, which resonates with the hero’s will and transforms freely, gave its enemies an overwhelming sense of fear. The present is several hundred years after the hero disappeared. In response to the true and clear will of the new legend, that will will once again shine brightly in the world.]

….It felt as if this sword and my body had become one.

Argh…!

As I gripped the handle tightly, I felt my strength becoming much stronger than before. For now… I felt like I could accomplish anything.

“….I’m going. You monster bastard. It will be different from before.”

Kuuuuk..!

Instead of decreasing, I concentrated the mana that began to overflow even more at the tips of my feet, bending them to the point where the floor I was standing on was dented.

Kwaang-!

I love you so much!

I concentrated my strength all at once, kicked my feet, and jumped up. Like a loaded arrow, it flew toward the dragon at a speed that exceeded human limits.

…………!

Suddenly!

The dragon reacted quickly, but Seris’ slash was even faster. Seris’s sword cut off the dragon’s left leg and left a large gash in its abdomen.

Kaaa!

The dragon cried out that the world was falling apart due to the pain of losing his body and being seriously injured.

The overwhelming volume was enough to make the canyon cry, and the mercenary members, except Seris, had no choice but to cover their ears.

“….Ha.”

…It felt like I was breaking through a wall that I had never been able to overcome before. The slash, which had been difficult to injure before, cut off the dragon’s leg with just one attack.

Feeling a rapid growth that could not be compared to her previous growth, Seris took a stance again.

Wow…!

The dragon writhed in pain and glowed in the sky. At the same time, he looked at Seris with two sparkling eyes filled with hatred.

Two eyes filled with murder, as a predator looks at its prey. However, the target was not a prey but an equal or greater predator.

Huuup-!

The dragon took a deep breath and his stomach began to swell.

Kwaaa!

Afterwards, a huge amount of flame breath exploded towards Seris. The temperature was so high that if any living thing came into contact with it, it would immediately melt and become unrecognizable.

However, Seris, who was looking directly at the breath, did not run away, but simply looked calmly at the enemy she had to annihilate.

“……Great sword.”

Ugh-!

At the same time as Seris muttered a little, the treasured sword that could be held with one hand soon changed its shape into a great sword so large that even an adult man could not hold it with both hands.

Seris lightly lifted the huge sword and faced Breath in front.

The firepower was so overwhelming that if a third party saw it, it would have been thought to be suicide…

“….Huh-!”

Huuung-!

When Seris swung the side of the great sword with all her might, the breath returned to the dragon due to the enormous wind force generated.

Grumbling!

Kaaa-!

The dragon, exposed to the flames it spit out, writhed in pain as its whole body burned.

…while spitting out that overwhelming flame. It looks like he never touched himself.

Crrr..!

The dragon, who had barely shaken off the ignited fire, glared at Seris. Pupils that seem to contain all the hatred and anger in the world.

Cerise faced those eyes calmly.

Ugh-!

“………….”

As the dragon opened its mouth and did something, things that looked like magic circles began to appear one by one around the dragon.

Soon, magic circles so large and dense that they covered the entire sky appeared. It was so powerful that it looked as if it would destroy the canyon itself with all its might.

“…Is it magic?”

In legends, it is said that dragons, which are different from ordinary monsters, can use magic beyond that used by humans.

….what. Looking at that, it looks like they’re using magic. Unlike the legend… what is wise and kind? It was just a beast that knew how to manipulate mana.

Crrr….

I can see the dragon raising the corner of his mouth as if he has won.

It was so far away that it seemed like a dot to the average person, but Seris’ body was no longer at the level of a human.

Clap la la rock-!

The magic circles connect one by one, and the colorless sky begins to sparkle with various colors.

If all those magics are activated. I’m going to die.

me too. Even the members. And the leader too.

“….long sword.”

Wooow-!

Converts the shape of the sword into a shape seal sword that is most specialized for cutting again.

“Phew…..”

After assuming the foot position, continue taking deep breaths.

Concentrate all your power for a single attack.

Concentrate all of the overflowing magical energy into this sword and cut it down.

With my will towards the leader, there is nothing that cannot be cut down.

My heart, which had begun to boil like lava, becomes calm, and my head becomes cold.

Crash.

“…Dragon. Cut.”

Suddenly-!!

Kwajijik…Kwajangchang!!

A sword strike that gathers all its strength will cut through anything.

The sword energy of mana generated from the slash rises up and cuts down everything.

There was also a huge stone chunk sticking out from the magic circle. Magic progress. The dragon’s body too.

…and beyond, even the sky.

With one strike from Seris’ sword, everything in the distance was cut down.

Thump-thump-thump.

Large chunks of stone protrude from the magic circle, and the dragon’s lifeless body falls to the ground without being able to react.

-….her.

-It’s like… the power of a god.

-Did you even cut down the sky?

The mercenary members, unable to help, could only watch, all looking at the split sky with blank expressions.

Beetle-

“Pfft…”

Perhaps because all my strength and mana had been used up, I felt a sudden sense of dizziness and my body stumbled.

“…Captain-!”

However, he took his shaky body and ran to the leader. Because the dragon was annihilated, that was the only thing that mattered in the current situation.

The cold heart is rekindled, and only one thought appears in my head.

“Captain..! Please come to your senses…! Please…!”

“Cluck…cluck…”

“Ah…no…!”

When I ran to the spot with my exhausted body, I saw the leader with his back against a rock, breathing heavily, with so much blood that it had already formed a puddle.

Hans and the mercenaries tried to use every means possible to wake the leader.

“……Seris…s… vice-captain. Cough..”

“…….Chief…”

At the faint voice of her lover calling out to her, Seris sat down next to Director Venice.
