Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 217 - Dread Dragon, RUN!

Both dragons were coming directly for me and ripped myself from their path using the water I had left on the swords. My hand connected with the sword, and then I moved past, ripping the sword out of the ground.

The other two were rounding on me and ignoring the others, but I was heading straight to the other one. It was less than thirty feet from me, and it looked injured.

Whatever kind of teleportation magic it used, it was not meant to be used like that, and the creature had broken its wing and front leg. The wing was not a problem; the broken leg paired with gravity kept the dragon down.

[Throw the blade, I am switching to aspect!]

I didn't think, I just threw the blade, and my body splashed to the ground, and the fire burned over the top of me. The moment it was done, I targeted the farthest dragon that had turned back on the others, locking on to the water on the back of its head.

The dragon was already breathing fire at the girls, but Mex got between them and tried to absorb it all. The moment I got within ten feet of the target, I shot up in the air to where the dragon had just teleported..

Instead of following it, I locked onto the one that had just tried to touch me and pulled myself down. The two could keep on teleporting, but I was locked on to them, so I could get to the were ever.

Then the dragon breathed fire directly at me, but I activated Fire and Earth totems, punching into the fire. The dragon tried to lift off the ground but was too slow as I tackled it in the air.

We both smashed into the wall and hit the ground, but I ran up to the head and grabbed one of the horns. This was the first red dragon I had seen when I got to this world, and It would be the first to go.

I could feel the other one bearing down on me, and the injured one was still alive, so I reached out to the side and summoned Mex's sword.

I could feel the sword trying to come, but something was stopping it. I looked over to see the injured dragon had the damn thing in its teeth.

[Forget it! To Mex!]

I felt my body go liquid, and I targeted Mex, who Wataluga left a tiny bit of water with as the dragon from the air crashed down on the other one.

Both Mex and Nushi had moved back a lot, and I reformed just before Mex to see he was still carrying Beeno on his back. Glowing red veins covered his sky blue skin, but I turned back to the dragon quickly, and I was surprised at what I saw.

[That is not good! Get everyone up top now!]

I turned back to Mex, and Fireden leaped from him and returned to me without any prompt.

"To mean everyone!" I hollered, and no one argued; they just rushed over.

The dragon that had been flying pinned the dragon's neck down. It ripped a chunk of the first dragon's neck out and then went off to the side of the dying creature.

I shot up in the air with everyone the best I could, then the dragon used a claw to tear open the side of the dying dragon. I watched as it used both front arms to spread it apart, to reveal something that was glowing on the inside.

[Dragon hearts are potent catalysts used in special rituals, but if a dragon eats one… just land up top and get away from the edge and start to run. If you can see it, we won't survive, so hurry!]

Fireden's words sparked a fire in me, and I tried as hard as I could to pour more fire out as the dragon stuck its head in the other one's body. I just made it up to the top, pushed us over the edge.

That was right as the dragon took its head out of the body with a glowing basketball red gem in its mouth. I didn't see what happened, but the moment I rolled over, there was a crack like a thunderclap, and then the valley behind us erupted with flames.

[No, RUN! Do not wait for it; get going!]

Wataluga's words forced me to snap out of my stunned stupor, and I got everyone else up, and the fire was still raging behind us. I pushed everyone to get moving, but I knew that the thing back there was nothing that even I could fight with all my elements.

[Forty miles west is your only chance! I am locking on to the Tri-Gods, and you will need to get it there!]

"Run, we are going east, and we need to run like the wind!" I called out, and everyone confirmed with me as we started running.

I could still sense the fire pouring out of the canyon, but it was slowing, and I could sense the ridiculous power surge that was erupting from behind us. I needed to get a plan, but I wasn't sure if we had a chance to make it.

The thing that was starting to lift up from the canyon was something completely different from before, but I didn't get how it was stronger.

[What the dragon has done goes against its code, but we are trying to eliminate it. The dragon will not survive, even if it wins. This is a Fire-Dread Dragon, and it emits explosive fireballs that explode on impact. I am not sure what you're going to do, but you have less than fifteen seconds to do it!]

Wataluga was right, but I wasn't sure what to do about something like this that is this huge and crazy.

Then I got a crazy idea.

[Yes, that is a horrible idea, but at the current moment, it might be your best one. Not like they aren't already going to be coming.]

"Keep going east! I will be right back!" I yelled to everyone and shot straight up into the air.
