Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

Chapter 113: Betrayal and Fighting

——Mercer looked at the hunter running towards him with a fierce look.

Mercer's anger will only be poured out on those humans who don't know their own strength. This battle has nothing to do with this woman.However, if she took the initiative to take on this responsibility for them, Mercer would also let her feel the fate those people deserved.

Moreover, since she escaped once or twice, he would not give her a third chance to escape.

The deafening roar turned into waves of sound that continued to spread outwards, and the chaotic airflow blew at the ends of Chiyo's hair, but her forward steps did not move.

He swung his sword and cut through the scales. Feeling the wounds on his forelimbs, Mercer spread his wings and stood up on his lower limbs, and slapped the thick forelimbs down suddenly.

There was a disobedient sound in her ears. Even though Chiyo didn't see it, she immediately retreated. Then she quickly sheathed the sword and swung it with a cross slash, leaving obvious marks on Mercer's body. of wounds.

......

The battle here is still fierce, but on the outside of the volcano, after all the hunters have boarded the spacecraft, the leader of the hunting group of a spacecraft is about to pull the lever.

"Wait a minute! What are you going to do!"

The hunter on the side noticed what he was doing and stopped him immediately.

"Don't you understand this? Drop explosives, blow up the volcano, force the black dragon to come out, and then focus the fire to kill it." The regiment leader said calmly, "Don't worry, the explosives have been calculated, and they will not explode. If you go inside a volcano, you won’t be able to trigger an eruption.”

"But there's someone inside! At least we have to wait for that person to come out!"

"Is there anyone else?" Hearing this, the group leader was a little surprised and asked, "Who are they? From which hunting group?"

"There is only one person, she is the lone swordsman Chiyo."

"Hunter Chiyo... With her skills, it's normal for her to be able to delay the black dragon." Surprise appeared on the leader's face, but he did not take back his hand on the lever, "But it's not our hunting group. Forget it."

"What do you mean by this? She delayed the black dragon and allowed us to escape!"

"So what!" The leader turned around and glared at the hunter fiercely, "No matter how powerful she is, can she be compared to the cannonballs on our spaceship? What's more, if she kills the black dragon, we will lose one point. I can’t even get the money!”

The leader of the hunting group shouted in a low voice, with a greedy light in his eyes: "Those rewards are all ours!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he decisively pulled the lever.

At the bottom of the spacecraft, a window opened outwards, and several black warheads fell from it.

They dropped from high altitude and exploded violently after falling to the ground.

This behavior was like a signal, and the other hunting group's spaceships activated the levers one after another. The explosives fell densely on the surface of the volcano, causing continuous vibrations while exploding.

......

——At the same time, Chiyo, who was about to swing her sword forward, also felt the shaking of the volcano. Under the strong shock, she lost her balance and was unable to dodge. She was slapped by Mercer's tail and flew to the wall, coughing out blood. His breath suddenly became weak.

"Ahem...is this vibration coming from someone outside..."

Chiyo fell to the ground, feeling that her internal organs were shattered by the blow, and large mouthfuls of blood continued to gush out of her mouth and nose.

It was clear that the hunters who had been trying their best to delay and help escape just now dropped explosives at this moment, trying to completely bury her and the black dragon.

Is this betrayal?maybe.But Chiyo didn't care. After her mother passed away and her father was obsessed with pursuing power, she left the family and kicked off the floating island.

At first, she just followed an instructor to hone her skills. Later, when the instructor no longer had any knowledge to teach her, she became a lone hunter, wandering aimlessly on the land.

As for the guild's tasks, she rarely takes on them, floating in the wind like leaves separated from a big tree.

Perhaps, she had already been disappointed with this depressing floating island.Chiyo, who had no sense of belonging there, never considered other hunters as companions.Because of this, she didn't have much anger at the betrayal.

More of a relief.

Mercer also raised his head and looked above his head.

Along with the vibration, the gravel slowly fell down and fell around. I am afraid this is the attack of the collapsed volcano that the bearded human said.

At the same time, if it weren't for the shock of the group of humans, Mercer would have had a hard time catching this hunter who was jumping up and down.

Ignoring the fallen rocks for the time being, Mercer crawled toward Chiyo, looking at Chiyo with a sarcastic expression.

——As for Chiyo, the fatigue from the wounds all over her body finally broke out at this moment. She vomited a large amount of blood while coughing, and her vision became blurred.

In extreme pain, black lines spread from her neck.

The surrounding vibrations and the sound of falling rocks hitting the ground slowly became silent. Chiyo looked forward in confusion, only to find that he was in endless silence at some point.

It was dark and there was no sound here, but after she saw a woman lying on the bed in the blur, her surrounding vision gradually became clear.

There was no life in that depressing room, only the rotten smell lingering in the air.The nightmare that has haunted me for more than ten years has returned here again.

"Ha... I still can't escape the nightmare after all..."

With a wry smile, Chiyo slowly closed her eyes...

——The emotions of sadness, pain and relief emerged from Chiyo and were passed to Mercer's heart.

Mercer paused slightly and looked at Qianyo who was so angry that he understood a lot at that moment.

Then, extreme anger emerged in the scarlet vertical pupils.

Is it because of this that you challenge me repeatedly?

If the purpose of ending that shadow was to kill me, would she hesitate?

——The most important thing is, if death has become enjoyment, why have you lived until now?Why save them?Why do you want to be your enemy again?

Mercer's claws scraped against the ground, making a gritty sound.

He felt that he was standing on the same stage with a clown and performing a useless performance. His efforts were in vain, and the so-called dodge and attack became a joke.

——Everything he did was not for her to enjoy death peacefully!

"Roar--"

Mercer stretched his head in front of Chiyo and let out a deafening roar. His bloody mouth was reflected in Chiyo's eyes. At the same time, the scales and powder on his body fell off and poured into her body.

Chiyo's pupils shrank and her fingers trembled slightly. In her sight, the suppressed nightmare was shattered by the black dragon's roar, followed by the pain of being stretched open by her entire body.

"——Ahhh!" Chiyo's whole body convulsed and rolled on the ground. For a long time, she leaned against the wall and gasped, staring at the black dragon in front of her with trembling pupils.

An emotion from the black dragon entered her brain——

"Take up your weapons and die in battle or kill me!"

Chapter 114: The End of the Nightmare

Powerlessness, fear, and the joy spreading in her chest made Chiyo slowly stand up with her sword in hand.

She grinned and gave a bitter smile.

"...Haha...it turns out to be like this..."

The body can no longer feel the pain, and even the fatigue has been dispelled. Chiyo guesses that he is now using the black dragon's scale powder to maintain his life, and the reason why he can hear this sound is probably the same.

Black Dragon, it... No, he will not let himself die. As he said, this kind of half-way death is not allowed.

All she could do was fight desperately and put all distracting thoughts behind her.

"Because of this, is this the 'end of nightmares'... Thank you so much, bastard!" Cursing that damn ancient man in his heart, Chiyo raised his head and looked at the huge black dragon, whose body Trembling with fear.

Who would have thought of using a more powerful fear to drive away the nightmares of the past?

But now, there is no chance to regret it.

She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and slashed down in front of Mercer, but Mercer jumped back and dodged it.

Dragon flames accumulated in his mouth and spit out towards Chiyo.

Facing this flame, Chiyo did not use the Kikiri technique, but quickly drew the sword on the spot, and rushed forward at the moment when the flame was about to touch him!

A ray of sword light turned into a straight line, and Chiyo's body exploded into a blurry afterimage under unreserved acceleration, passing straight through Mercer's huge body and cutting open Mercer's tail behind him.

Just as she was preparing her next move, Mercer jumped sideways and flew towards Chiyo's face, but she dodged it.

The hard scales on the tail brushed against the sword held by Chiyo, and an obvious clang sounded: "Ding!"

Mercer turned his head and glanced at Qianyo.

After acquiring the skill [Idealism], he had a mysterious feeling. The reason why the hunter in front of him was so energetic was probably due to the control of certain hormones.

Using momentum or dopamine to assist in attacks is somewhat similar to his skills.Likewise, Mercer was very interested in her ability to dodge in dangerous situations several times.

Facing Mercer's gaze, Chiyo quickly adjusted her breathing and felt her heart beating violently.

She understood that she could not defeat him. For Black Dragon, this battle was probably a stage play. She was the only dancer, and he was the only audience. When the stage ended, it was the end of her life. time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile - now that the matter had come to this, she could only comfort herself with this expression.

If you want to dance, then dance with all your heart!

Chiyo took a deep breath and swung her sword quickly, and Mercer also grabbed her with her sharp claws at that moment, but she dodged the attack by just a hair.

See all——

Flames spurted out from the black dragon's mouth again, and Chiyo's eyes flashed with sharp light, and she quickly sheathed the sword.

Iai!

The light of the sword cut through the air a moment before the flames. Chiyo appeared on the other side of the black dragon's body. Then he raised the tip of the sword and grasped the handle tightly with both hands.

Stab!

Her body turned into an indomitable blade, breaking through Mercer's scales and piercing into his body.But it wasn't over yet. Before Mercer could turn around, Chiyo stepped on Mercer's scales and suddenly jumped into the sky!

...where are the people?Mercer scanned the empty scene, looking around with his head.

So the moment Mercer turned his head to look for traces of Chiyo, as if he was attracted to him, his head automatically hit the tachi slashed by Chiyo!

This move has an official name, but compared to that name, more hunters who use Tai Sword are more accustomed to calling this move like this:

——Denglong Sword!

Huge knife marks fell from the sky, cutting through Mercer's scales, slicing through his flesh and blood, until it damaged his skull!

In an instant, a bloody wound appeared on the left side of Mercer's face!It made it roar in pain for the first time.

"Well...it really doesn't work."

Feeling the raw feeling of the knife cutting into the bone, Chiyo felt a little regretful, but at the same time it was expected.

A few drops of cold sweat ran down her forehead, and she looked at Mercer while panting.

Blood dripped on the ground. Mercer stared at the hunter in front of him, his mouth split open little by little, and he revealed a ferocious smile to match the wounds on his face.

Facing the still vigorous black dragon, Chiyo subconsciously touched his chest with his palms, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose again.

The function of the scale powder was not to instantly heal her wounds, but to force her to maintain a fighting posture even when she was seriously injured. In other words, her previous wounds were aggravated again because of the violent movements.

Staring at the hunter in front of him, Mercer smiled.

——He probably understands.

The hunter's movements rely on continuous attacks to promote physical activity, gradually become adapted to combat, and continuously improve his momentum.

Mercer could easily imitate this and even be better than them.

The secretion of hormones continues to stimulate his body, which completely allows him to save a lot of human attack steps and allow his momentum to reach its highest point from the beginning.

But that's not all. Human skills can use a specific attack to align the momentum and movement on that blow, giving a short burst of power and replacing it with the consumption of part of the momentum.

This kind of technique was something Mercer had never heard of.

He grinned, thinking again about Chiyo's attack.

And Chiyo immediately dragged his broken body and used his skills to the extreme over and over again.

This was an unprecedented feeling. Facing the suffocating offensive of the black dragon, Chiyo felt that his martial arts skills had improved again. The strength of the sword swing, the sharp movement, the timing of Iai, everything was new. insights.

——But it was all in vain. An explosion accompanied by strong acid sounded beside him, and Chiyo was blown away by the explosion.

And this blow also caused huge cracks to appear on the fragmented ground. Lava slowly overflowed from the cracks, and the ground they were on was constantly collapsing downwards.

"It's such a fun battle..."

She rolled twice and finally lay on the ground, trying to hold herself up, but her body became weak again. After trying several times, she could only collapse to the ground in a sluggish manner, coughing out blood. A regretful smile appeared on his face.

"It's a pity... It seems that this battle is over. The stage collapsed and the dance has come to an end. Cough cough cough..."

Looking at the black dragon walking towards him, there was no relief in his eyes, only a little regret and the calmness of facing death.

Facing the black dragon's raised claws, Chiyo chuckled and lowered his eyes, waiting for death to come.
