Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne? Chapter 329

Dwo~~n!!

The Shadow Dragon which charged into the ground to try and bite Angela to death lost a lot of it's momentum from the ground.
And then it quickly changed directions while still biting Angela and it ended up facing off against me.

My vision narrows to the point where you'd think my eyes are going bad and I can only see Angela being held in the Shadow Dragon's mouth.

The Shadow Dragon leisurely raised it's head.
Angela is laying face up with her head on the right side from where it's biting and there's no spaulder on her left shoulder from where I can see.
It's probably the one it was holding in it's claws earlier.
She, must have dodged the charge of the dragon with a paper thin difference.

Angela is moving as she's still being held in it's mouth at a height of about 6~7 meters.

She's still alive!

I use wind magic against my back and rapidly accelerate towards Angela.
Rather than an attack spell I need to use a healing spell while she's still alive and probably {Cure All} or {Regenerate} is necessary.
I don't have the time to take off my left glove so right before using wind magic I used fire magic to burn it and expose my hand.

I'll burn my hand like that?
It's just for a short while so it's nothing big, it doesn't matter at all.
A burn of this level, it's nowhere near an obstruction to my mental concentration!

I activate {Identify} to check her condition..Eh!?

Angela used her free left hand to pull out {Flame.Tongue} which she had on her left hip!

"Emeron!"

Angela shouted the command word.
The blade of the sword was surrounded by flames.
At the same time she thrust it into the tip of the shadow Dragon's nose!

But, in the first place why was she able to pull out the sword?
It seems to have been firmly biting down on her.

No, she is being bitten down on.
Her waist? No, it's fangs are stabbing into her stomach and she's completely bleeding out!

The Shadow Dragon didn't seem to falter from the blow with {Flame.Tongue} and started putting more power into it's jaw.
However, I don't know why but it doesn't seem to be able to close it's mouth beyond a certain point.

Another 20 meters ahead until I reach Angela.

Ah..is she using the rifle to block it's mouth!?
She's holding that and propping it up so she can't use her right hand!?

I guess from the dragons point of view it's like having a metal toothpick stabbed into it's mouth...
But, that itself can't be considered fatal.
The {Flame.Tongue} the prey in it's mouth is swinging around is considerably more lethal.

In that case it should just spit her out..I guess that's my hopeful thinking.

Another 10 meters.

"Gaha!!"

Angela spit out blood and continues swinging the sword with a smile on her face for some reason.
But, she can't seem to gather any strength so it's just like she's punching it with it.
Ah, I guess rather than hitting with it she's trying to stab {Flame.Tongue} in further.

Ah!!?

Seeing that I was charging over the Shadow Dragon didn't make the mistake of just waiting for me as it tilted it's head just before I was about to reach Angela and had me fly past.

Since I was flying I was trying to concentrate as much as possible to use the spell {Regenerate}(I'm not used to it so it takes some time) as I used wind magic to adjust my position to touch Angela as best as I could.
But, it was too slow.
I passed her about 2 meters to the side...!?

"..You called me by my name for the first time!"

Angela shouted while hitting it with the sword.
Shit!!

Even then I used wind magic once more to try and touch Angela.
It seems Angela noticed me as she stopped hitting with {Flame.Tongue} and stretched her hand out to me.

She's gritting her teeth with a crying smile on her face.

I stretch out my hand towards Angela...

Crunchcrunchsnap!!!

The Shadow Dragon finally succeeded in closing it's mouth.
In front of my eyes Angela's upper body was bit in half from around the chest.
The right hand she had stuck further into it's mouth to prop up the rifle was bit off as well.

Most likely her lower body as well...

I stretch out my hands to Angela as she's falling and used wind magic once more to chase her.
In the past I've read something about it before.
Supposedly people are still conscious for a few seconds after being decapitated.
In that case, I should still be able to make it in time!

If I immediately use {Regenerate} on all of her vital organs including the heart, then consecutively use {Cure All}..!

Of course, since I have no leeway to use wind magic I'm sure I'll smash into the ground but if I skillfully cover Angela then as long as I don't fall head first I won't die instantly.
If I don't die instantly then I can manage it!

However.

Goa!!!

After reopening it's mouth the Shadow Dragon changed directions in the air and caught me.
Those large atrocious fangs that just split Angela's upper body and lower body in half caught me in it's jaw.

While I had my head facing downwards and was following after Angela I was swallowed feet first.
Angela continued falling to the ground while her blood and organs scattered around.

Shittt~~!!!

In front of my eyes it's jaw closes.
I reflexively grabbed out for {Flame.Tongue} which she had stabbed into it's nose.
Not just with the left hand I was stretching out but I wanted to secure the sword with both of my hands.
{Flame.Tongue} is still covered in flames.
My left hand touched somewhere on the sword and I felt the heat from the flames.

However, the jaw was closed and my left arm was bitten off.
No, I guess my right hand as well.
I heard the same sound of the ebonite armor being crushed as when it bit through Angela's body as it bit through the gauntlets on both of my arms.
Quite literally I had both of my arms bitten off from the middle of my arms.
I barely have them remaining below the elbows.

An intense pain runs through them and at the same time everything in front me turned pitch black as the Shadow Dragon closed it's mouth.
Because of that I couldn't see where Angela hit the ground.

It's just fortunate that I didn't have my head bitten off but it's still a desperate situation.

..Or maybe not.

It hurts considerably but it seems adrenaline and endorphins are pumping so for me who practiced healing spells while injuring myself when I was kid it's not much at all...
..Though what hurts still hurts.
It's my first time losing a part of my body as well.

I'd like to start by using {Regenerate} but right now the first priority is escaping from here.
I can feel a lukewarm wet and at the same time rough unpleasant sensation on my face.

Conveniently the Shadow Dragon's {Magic.Resistance} should already have no uses remaining or at best be 1 or 2.

Guwu~tto I felt my entire body being raised up.
I guess the dragon raised it's head so it could completely keep me in it's mouth.
I can feel something like a tongue moving to try and swallow me and at the same time the muscles around my legs are tightening as if it's trying to swallow.

The fact that I was able to get stuck on the remains of the rifle stabbed into it's mouth was of course thanks to my reaction speed but I think a large portion of it is also a luck and a miracle.
However, there wasn't much meaning to it.
The force of the swallowing was strong so it quickly came out...

But, if it's not going to open it's mouth then I'll make it open with force!
Of course, I've already resolved for the first one or two shots to end up pointless.

{Stone Cannon}!

Since I don't have any hands I concentrate around my brow to activate the spell..I can't control my mana?

Calm down.
I'm just temporarily stunned after seeing that happen to Angela in front of me and unable to concentrate!
And there's the sharp pain running through both of my missing arms.

Once more!

In the first place, the pain I'm feeling should be nowhere near what Angela is feeling!
Swallowing me as I was trying to save Angela who was bitten in half, that I would experience the mummy-taker becoming the mummy in person.
..Though if things continue like this I'll be eaten as well.
I won't let that happen.

Alright, I start controlling my mana again.
Let's go!

I calm down and once more.
{Stone Cannon}!

..And just as I thought that it was cancelled.
Even if {Magic.Resistance} is remaining it's still possible to shave that down.
But, what's next after {Magic.Resistance} disappears is?
Obviously I use once more shot.

The spell bullets appearing from my head have a weak momentum at first.
Though I say that they're still reasonably powerful so in the worst case I'll open it's mouth..No, right now it should be possible to tear it's throat(?).
But at moment, what would happen to my head?
If I get stuck between the spell bullet and it's esophagus...
I still have my helmet on but it's not even a consolation.

In that case what about directly using elemental magic?
In the worst case, using earth magic, water magic, or maybe even fire or wind magic might work.
The amount of the element created is massive.
Whether it's a dragon or whatever else if that were to suddenly appear in it's body it should rupture right!
And then, my head will probably be crushed stuck between my magic and the inner barrier of the dragon.

..In the first place I can't see anything.
Even if I were to use it a small amount would appear and then it would end.
It's fine to use it after casting {Light} but sooner or later the amount I make will probably still crush me in the end.
There's also the possibility of wind magic but I feel like the pressure would pop my eardrums and crush my body which is probably weaker than the dragon's organs first...

Using {Identify} to figure out it's weakness..!

I can't imagine any future other than suffocating while I'm reading it.

Wait! Wind magic, air..if it opens it's mouth then it might not rupture but even if it doesn't it should do quite a bit of damage, and I'll be able to breath..
Ah, on top of that..!

I immediately put in practice what I was thinking.

First off I used {Identify}, then after seeing the visor of my helmet with that I use {Light}.
After securing my vision I use wind magic!
Level 6 or so should be plenty.
I feel like it might be a bit too much but if it's blocked my {Minor.Globe.Of.Invulnerability} then there's no meaning after all.

I resolved to abandon my ear drums.
I bent my raised arms to try and make the space in front of my face even just a bit bigger.

Alright.

I use wind magic.
Bago!! along with a sound like that my ears popped.
I closed my eyes the moment I use the magic so I don't think there was much damage to them.

But, it doesn't do any significant damage.
It must still have some {Magic.Resistance} remaining.
I check it and with this the remaining uses is 0.

Alright, let's go!

I use wind magic again this time.
But, you can slowly use elemental magic you know.
In the past, I made ice slowly fall out in front of Kuro and Mary before and you already know about when searching for pitfalls on the 3rd floor I would slowly create water using water magic right?

Gugwutto the entirety of the esophagus swells up.
I inhale the dry air while creating more air at a fixed speed.
It's esophagus gradually swells up as it becomes necessary to spread my legs to support myself.

And then that time came along right away.

Goooe...and the Shadow Dragon burped.
Immediately the air pressure dropped.
I look up and see a small amount of light other than my {Light}.
But, even then I don't loosen my hand.

I thought about using {Air Blade} but I remembered something like that won't kill it unless I use it a number of times so just as originally planned I made more air.

Since it has it's mouth open it doesn't seem like it's esophagus will expand anymore than this.
I slowly take a deep breath.

I continue my wind magic and crouch over with both of my legs almost horizontal.
The entire body of the dragon is largely tilted so I can feel the fall.
It must be painful.

I felt that it landed right away.

Now!
I stop using wind magic and started controlling my mana to use a different spell.

Gu...
I practiced it quite a bit but it still takes close to 5 seconds to complete.
Additionally there's the pain and physical shock from both of my arms being severed so it feels like it's taking forever for this kind of complex spell to complete...

Jakin!
With my head as the center several tens of magic sword appeared!

The {Blade.Barrier} that I just learned from Mila-shisho several months ago let's out a roar as it revolves and begins cutting through the pink colored wall of flesh in front of me.

Die!
