The dragon's length was at least seven meters. With its whole body covered in jet-black scales, there were five sharp claws on each of its long forelegs. Big wings grew from its back which were slightly shining as they were clad with magic power. Every time it flapped the wings an unbelievable gust of wind appeared, even after taking the size of it's wings into account. However, its most impressive feature was its golden eyes that floated in the night like moons. Its eyes that closed vertically like a reptile's, were dangerously narrowed as they released beautiful light.
' Hehe~ She's here'
The golden eyes were glaring at Ken and the others from the air and just like a frog being stared at by a snake, Aiko and the others stiffened. Will was especially pale faced and trembled as if he would collapse at any moment. Inside his mind, he might be having flashback from when he was attacked.
Ken looks at the monster and is reminded of the demonic beasts in the Abyss, it was not as strong as the Hydra on the offensive side but more powerful on the defense, but he could feel that it had the same power as class of demonic beasts from 90th floor.
The Black Dragon confirmed Will's appearance and sharpened its glare. Following that, in front of the stiffened humans, it slowly lifted its head and concentrated its mana inside the opened jaws where sharp fangs lined up.
Ken faces the dragon and slides his right feet a little backwards, and anchors himself to the ground with his fists lifted in a boxing pose.
When mana concentration reached its peak, a straight, black, beam-like Breath fired from the dragon. The Breath didn't let out any sound as it rapidly approached the party.
DOOOOM!!
Immediately the air around Ken turned menacing which reminded Yue of the feeling when the Hydra appeared from the summoning circle.
'Composite Magic: Fiery Stream'
In his ready boxing pose, Ken lowered his center of gravity and executed a high punch in the direction of the attack which released a stream of flame plasma which clash with the dragon's breath.
ZIINGGG! TSSSH!! VOOOBOOM!
The clash of these two Titans and it's after effects rapidly evaporated the water basin of the waterfall and dried the plantations as the air itself began to thin out as the temperature kept rising.
"Gravity Magic: Heavens fall"
BOOOOMM!! GRKKKKK!!
Yue ended the seemingly unending fire power clash with a spell that crashed the dragon from it's highness to the ground. Even with the magic barrier she erected, it won't be long before the weak they had with them perished from the pressure and heat alone, so she had to step in.
"I really got carried away... but you stepped in cause you're the best" (Ken).
Yue shook her head to Ken's usual tactics. Whenever things like this happens, he considers it unmanly to apologize but to gentlemanly recognize ones fault and complements to reduce the heat from the girls.
"...Shea!" (Yue)
"Aye!~" (Shea)
"Riveria, I want you to sit this one out"(Ken)
"Why?... I can help!" (Riveria)
This always amazed Ken to the point of silence. She's always in kuudere mode when she's casual and only shows a major expression or talks this much when there's a battle, even his attempts to annoy her just for her to speak a whole sentence produces negative results.
"... ... She's important and I don't want you killing her with a weapon that potentially can kill even me. So for now you're on guard duty"
"Important?!... ...it's a she?" (Riveria)
Shea already on the move, leaps from the cave entrance with Shiva in hand and increases the gravity around Shiva about 3Ă— as she touchdown. A move she executed perfectly as Ken taught her.
The black dragon lifts 'her' head whiles being pressed down with Yue's magic and dodges a fatal attack which creates a crack on the ground and further into a two meter web pattern when the Shock control feature of Shiva redirected the recoil from the miss.
"Wow, Ken this move is amazing. I feel like I could smash everything"
"Hmph, you missed you weak rabbit..." (Riveria)
"She has alot to learn" (Ken)
The dragon turns 'her' long neck to Yue's direction and breathes out a brief attack which allows 'her' to rise free as Yue is forced to erect an earth wall and magic barrier simultaneously to block. 'She' then sharpened it's gaze towards Will making him drop on his butt and before 'she' could attack...
DOPAAW! DOPAAW!!
Ken holding both Vahn and Helsing fires at the dragon's wings since it's a nuisance when 'she' take flight and attacks but the electromagnetic accelerated bullets ricochets like 'her' wings were built the same as 'her' scales.
'Its not the same. The bullets loses momentum when it hits her skin unlike how it did the wing but am sure this will do...'
Ken determining the value of Jack in this battle puts them in the shoulder holster as he jumps to avoid a sweeping attack from the dragon tail and draws Starfall from it's holster and...
PWEEWW! GUURAAA!!
With one plasma bullet, Ken created a big gap in 'her' left wing and 'she' roars in pain as 'she' uses 'her' other wing to keep 'herself' afloat. Ken not giving 'her' time for recollection brings 'her' down.
Ken being unable to use magic like Yue does always tells Shea and Riveria and reminds himself that; magic is not the goal but a genuine means to achieve...
' Hand of Titan'
GRUA?!
By doing a palm suppression motion, Ken made the dragon feel like 'she' has been palm slammed by a giant but in reality it was the increase in gravity around her rather than a single point like Yue's magic.
Using Psion Waves, Ken manages to give an order to Yue and Shea telepathically as he stops his magic and they move out.
Feeling the suppression gone, the black dragon rises but is attacked from both sides before 'she' could get 'her' bearings which shakes 'her' a bit but counters. This back and forth battle went on in front as Ken hides his presence and appears in the dragon's rear.
' Hagime, I will be borrowing your Pile Bunker for an emergency '
Ken removes the thick Azantium pole from the whole device and carries it like a Battering Ram.
<...Okay>
"Heavens fall"
CRUSHHH! GRKKKKK!
"The second weakness of anything big and hard: the rear!!"
Shouts Ken as he aims at the uplifted rear of the dragon and rams the thick pole into it's...
GRUAAaaahh!!
"Kyaaa!! Arse~~! Mine Arse-suu~~"
The feminine cry of the dragon brings the weak party out of their daze as this battle was leagues ahead of what they've seen and are capable of.
"It speaks?..." (Riveria)
"... There are monsters that speak human language?🤯" (Aiko)
' Now we're talking...'
Ken keeps pushing the pole while acting like it really needed to be killed.
"Ken wait. It might be from the dragonman race"
Exclaims Yue as she begins to explain what they're and why might be important.
'Not so early, I need to drill this fetish into her'
Ken stops pushing and twist the pole while shouting: "Will you talk? eh!. You better to grateful to my darling " and removes the pole roughly as she screams erotically, all for the sake of the future which he tells himself.
Ken and party give some space as she transforms back to her human form.
Immediately, its body completely wrapped with cocoon-like, jet-black magic power, and its big size began to decreased. Following that, after it reached the size of a human, the magic power immediately disappeared.
In the place of the black-colored magic power was something collapsed on its feet, and while using one hand to support its body, the other hand was holding its butt. With blushing cheeks, it was a black-haired, golden-eyed beautiful girl. Her glossy, straight, black hair reached her waist and her cheeks dyed bright red, Haa haa, she breathed roughly as if she was in a trance.
Her appearance was in the first half of her twenties, and her height might be around 170 cm. With a splendid proportion one could be proud of. Every time she breathed, a pair of hills were intensely shook as they peeped from inside the clothes' collar that became disordered as it hanged on her, and it looked like they'd came out at any moment. If Shia was melon, the Black Dragon was watermelon….
"Amazing... not a shred of mercy..."(???)
"As I thought..." (Yue)
'Damn the anime didn't do her justice when describing her features. She has one of the most sinful figure I've seen in two lifetimes combined. haha~'
She calls herself, Tio Klarus, and goes on to describe her story of the dark mage controlling her and other things which Ken already knew from the anime. She besieged Ken to allow her to stop the dark mage at which Ken puts on his anime Hagime act and threatens her which Yue steps in as he finds that unnatural of Ken.
After a lovey lovey talk between Ken and Yue, Tio bows in gratitude and they descend the mountains.
