Chapter 408 - Dragon Extermination Part 3

"I have a plan," said Theo with a serious expression. "This dragon may have slow movements, but it doesn't spare any effort to move. That's why if we go around to take down this monster, it will just make him move and create this kind of shock wave continuously.

"Hence, we are going to hit only his head and kill him with one strike to the brain or neck. To do that, we need powerful firepower to crack the dragon's scale."

Theo paused for a moment. The one in front of Agata said, "I want you to gather the dragon's attention for a few seconds." While the one before Alea stated, "I want you to use your stronger power to hit a specific spot, creating a bigger wound with me. Can you do that?"

Agata nodded without hesitation. "Understood. I will do it."

Meanwhile, Alea shouted to the people on the back. "The rest of you are to remain in your position and ready to blast the dragon's head. Fighters and Knights are to protect our main power, okay?"

As soon as the two girls agreed, Theo used his Telekinesis and lifted all four of them together to the sky.

"Don't move so suddenly, even I don't have enough control to let you swim around in the air," Theo warned both of them.

Agata knew it, so she stood still while clasping her hand. Her body began to release the pink smoke, but instead of covering the dragon's eyes, Agata formed a certain shape above her head.

It was a scythe.

The smoke soon changed its form, becoming a real scythe with a proper and menacing black and white blade and a humongous silver handle. The scythe was a hundred feet high as if announcing its supremacy over the dragon.

Feeling a sense of threat from the scythe, the dragon planned to beat the scythe to shatter it. Hence, its head moved forward while rotating to match the scythe's position.

At this time, Theo, his clone, and Alea had flown to the base of his head or it could be said the dragon's neck.

"Use your strongest attack," Theo stated while releasing his Cannon Blast, Telekinesis and External Flow. His Magic Bullets also had been summoned and shot, matching his movement.

"It's like when we tried to escape from the ghost turtle's barrier." Alea smiled.

"Talk less, do more."

Alea nodded with a serious expression as she raised both swords. The swords were covered with blue light, but soon a flame-like green colored aura fused together with the blue one.

"Flamming Enchantment."

"Third Labour, Swift Hind."

"…" Theo glanced at her swords, remembering that her Swift Hind should be used on her feet.

Sensing Theo's glance, she explained, "I'm trying to utilize the skill in another way."

Theo obviously knew about it because Fenrir taught him.

'I guess it's a given.' Theo thought, remembering that Alea said she had been working on something. "So, that's your trump card…"

"Yep." She smiled and raised her swords. "Let's go."

Theo nodded and launched them to the neck, getting as close as possible.

Theo and his clone released the same technique, which was the concentrated Cannon Blast since it was the only thing that could pierce the dragon's scale.

Meanwhile, Alea's swords were covered with red flame. The intense heat seemed to be able to melt even a metal. She swung her swords, striking the same spot as Theo. "Blazing Enchanted Slash."

Both of them hit the same spot simultaneously.

However, Theo improvised his own technique by moving his spear down. The Cannon Blast energy kept piercing the scale, but because the spear moved, the wound started to expand as if he was gradually cutting the dragon.

And with Alea's firepower, that wound became easier to make.

Right before the energy from the Cannon Blast dissipated, the Magic Bullets finally arrived and hit right in the middle of the wound as some of them even slipped inside and hit the dragon's flesh directly.

Boom.

The Magic Bullets' explosions should hit them too, but Theo had a solution. The ring of honor formed a shield to block it, preventing any possible injuries to Theo and Alea.

Roar.

This was the first time the dragon felt the wound he suffered because the sharp sword mark on his body exceeded six feet.

It wasn't a sting anymore but a graze to the dragon's giant body.

"Even though your naivety hasn't improved, I guess your strength has… As expected of a muscle brain." Theo chuckled.

Alea pouted and looked away. She had been told by a few people and gradually became aware of it. That was why she couldn't reply to Theo's remark.

Unfortunately, Agata misunderstood Theo's sarcasm as his way of flirting with Alea. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, feeling jealous of Alea. Just looking at Alea already frustrated her because Theo had been suffering from her selfish decision, yet, he still smiled at her.

She indeed never saw how bad Alea was in the past, but sometimes, they didn't have enough time to improve because the chance only came once like when Theo was forced to improve to join the Grand Gaia Competition.

"Would it be different if I were born in Thersland…" Agata sighed when watching the two's expressions. She shook her head and hit the dragon's head with her scythe, only making the scythe turn back to smoke.

After all, she could only utilize her illusion, so this was the best thing she could do.

"At the very least, I have fulfilled my mission." She sighed. "I feel powerless… Maybe if I'm stronger, I can be there too…"

Unaware of her grumble, the magicians also supported Theo and Alea, hitting the dragon's head and pinning it down to make sure the two could fly away unharmed.

Theo appreciated their efforts and flew away with Alea, comparing the wound and the dragon's head.

"Hmm, we need to widen the wound… five times larger. After that, we can hit the dragon's head from the side to expand the wound and cut the meat inside as if we are ripping the dragon's head apart from its body." Theo explained his plan with a serious expression.

"I understand. Expanding the wound is easier than creating it. Should we split up?" Alea asked.

"Yes. I'm above, you're below."

"Copy that…" She raised her swords again with a smile.
