Disciple of Immortal

「Flame Magic, 9th Rank《Drag Ray》!」

Riddler shouted aloud.

Two magic circles overlapped before him, releasing the beam right from the middle.

I was caught off guard since I had no idea how Riddler was going to start the match, I had never expected that he would launch an attack as soon as I agreed to fight him.

I mean, I expect that he would at least tell me to change place first.

I mean, the 《Dragon King's Room》 might wrecked if he used such big magic from the get-go.

I jumped to the side and dodged the incoming beam.

When I looked in the direction where the beam flew off, I saw a huge hole had already been made in the wall of the castle.

I-Is that… Okay?

I looked back at my opponent upon hearing the sound of cutting the wind.

Before I noticed it, Riddler had already been closing in from the side and brandished his claws at me.

「Don't avert your gaze from your opponent! Sorry but, I carried the pride of Peach Dragon Village on my back! I won't be defeated that easily!」

It seems he closing in while manipulating his figure and the sound of his movement right after he fired 《Drag Ray》.

「I know that you can come up with the magic that I fired just now! That's why I'll end the fight with this! Dragon skill… 《Raging Dragon Dance》!」

I spun my body to dodge Riddler's claws.

Riddler easily spun in the air using his wings and unleashed two kicks at the same time.

I blocked both of his kicks with my left arm.

Riddler landed on the ground and attacked again with both his claws.

「Uhm… Riddler-san. The thing is, I've come this time not to challenge you, but because I brought urgent news this time…」

I said so while blocking Riddler's attack.

「It seems you still have some leeway despite blocking my attack!」

Said Riddler as he glared at me.

「I'm the Dragon King! You think I'm going to stop the fight due to your distraction only to find you hit me when I let my guard down!」

Riddler gathered his magical power again.

Two magic circles overlapped before him like before.

「I've to admit that you're extremely powerful. But, let's see how you dodge the 《Drag Ray》 while blocking my attacks!」

I slapped Riddler's face with a backhand blow.

The magic circles that had yet to form crumbled as Riddler sent flying while holding his face and crashed onto his throne.

Surely, I might get hit by the 《Drag Ray》 since I was too busy coping with 《Raging Dragon Dance》.

But, It doesn't mean that I didn't have another way to cope with the 《Raging Dragon Dance》.

Since Riddler's 《Drag Ray》  wasn't as fast as before, I could still defeat Riddler even though we fought normally.

Surely, I could end the fight immediately alas, it wasn't a tactic to be used against an opponent with a higher level than me.

Just lower the precision of the 《Raging Dragon Dance》.

Since he was flustered, he wanted to end the fight as soon as possible.

「Uhm…Excuse me but, can I ask some questions?」

Riddler didn't wake up even after I shook his shoulder.

「K-Kanata-san… Has murdered Riddler…」

Pomera who evacuated in the corner of the mansion muttered so.

「… EH!? N-No way, I just hit him lightly, very lightly!」

「Kanata-san's light is not light at all…」

I felt a chill running down my spine.

N-No way, that can't be.

Riddler's level should be pretty high.

My attacks from before were quite heavy.

Even knocking him lightly was enough to send him flying.

But just in case, I decided to check his stats.

… Thanks god.

He was still alive.

「Are you okay? There's more than half of your HP left.」

「… You scraped almost half of my stamina with a light smack, ain't that really dangerous?」

Ah, it seems I hit a really bad place…

When I saw him didn't wake up at all, I realized that he might've passed out due to my light smack.

I guess this was the right moment to end this match and call in the healer.

The moment I thought so, I heard something from the floor before me.

The moment I retreated, the floor exploded till it reached the ceiling.

There, Riddler stood on his feet.

「《Heavenly Justice Palm Wave》… Enveloping the palm with magical power, it's one of the perfect dragonic arts that is transmitted via matter. And you dodged that at first sight.」

「Why…」

I swallowed my words.

I mean, even I hesitate to ask why someone like him used cowardly tactics such as feigning death to launch a sneak attack.

I thought for a moment that he was kinda cool alas, upon thinking carefully, that wasn't the case.

「《Heavenly Justice Palm Wave》!」

Riddler struck at the wall with his palm again.

When I got away from my place, the wall behind me exploded.

「Dragonic Arts, 《Thousand Wings of Salvation》!」

Riddler spread his wings.

The golden feathers fired from his wings flew straight toward me.

I caught the first feather with my hand and used that feather to strike down the other feathers.

「Uhm… Riddler-san. Shall we stop?」

「I'm the proud king of dragonfolk! Like hell I'll admit defeat in this kind of battle! I've told you right, I won't hide or escape anymore!」

Riddler flew back opened even more distance between us, and struck the wall to attack me with 《Heavenly Justice Palm Wave》.

When I stepped forward to dodge the palm wave while closing in the distance, his 《Thousan Wings of Salation》 forced me to take some distance from him again.

「And I… Am the the deitification dragonfolk for combat. After such a long time, I almost forgot the thrilling sensation of giving my all against my opponent… You have my gratitude for letting me recall this feeling! Kanata, dance with me till the end!」

Riddler kicks the wall and moves as if he is dancing in the 《Dragon King's Room》.

「Riddler-san…」

This person… Despite saying such cool lines, he didn't dare to get close to me after he received a light smack from me.

Always taking some distance from me while moving about and unleashing one dragonic skill after another in succession.

He didn't even use his main weapon, the 《Drag Ray》 again, it seems the memories of me smacking him before he completed his spell seared in his brain.

Though he said that he wouldn't escape or hide, maybe his current fighting style was something akin to escaping.

「《Heavenly Justice Palm Wave》!」

Riddler landed on the ground and struck the floor with his palm.

The floor where I stood exploded alas, I stayed still without moving from my position.

「Okay, I got him! I can do this!」

Riddler heaved a sigh of relief.

I threw the golden feather in my hand back at Riddler.

This allowed me to hide my initial attack.

Even Riddler might lower his guard once he thinks that his attack hit me, thus delaying his reaction.

The golden feather pierced his throat.

「Ugh…!」

It seems Riddler tried to escape to one corner of the 《Dragon King's Room》 while pulling out the golden feather that stuck in his throat.

He might be even more vigilant than ever after knowing that I might unleash another attack.

But, predicting Riddler's movement inside this square-shaped 《Dragon King's Room》 was pretty simple since it wasn't as vast as a battlefield.

I arrived at the corner that became Riddler's destination ahead of him.

Riddler tried to jump again the moment he landed.

「… Sorry, Riddler-san.」

I kicked his a*ss.

「FUGOOO!?」

Riddler's body tumbled on the ground after I kicked him.

Once stopped, his body already twitched on the ground.

He passed out while blowing bubbles from his mouth.

I kicked him lightly for a test.

Riddler was tough, so he might faked his condition this time too.

Adjusting my power was a tough job.

But, I judged that it wasn't a big deal if I kicked his a*ss.

Coz unlike hitting him in the head, I didn't have to worry about accidentally breaking his skull if I kicked his a*ss.
