Disciple of Immortal

Act 3: Chapter 36: Air Combat

「Bennet-san, I’ll go to kill that Red King.」

「Ah, you’re right. Seeing that monster has left, the only threat left is Alice. If it’s Kanata, I guess you can do something about that…」

I shook my head hearing Bennet’s nonsense remark.

「You hear it wrong, I said “I’m going to kill that Red King”.」

「Eh! Shouldn’t we just leave it on its own device? It has already escaped anyway… So I think we-」

「I mustn’t let it go to prevent an even bigger tragedy, that’s why I have to go after it.」

「I-I see, you’re going to go after it huh…」

Bennet spoke with a troubled look on his face.

At this point, the Red King had already ascended high in the sky.

Thanks to the barrier that was protecting them, I couldn’t use magic from a distance.

And though I could fly with wind magic to go after him, it wasn’t suitable for air combat that needed precise control.

Naturally, it was also harder for me to keep my posture with wind magic since there was no scaffolding in the air.

Gaining the upper hand against a level 3000 opponent with those factors stacking against me was tough.

「I guess I’ll ride on Ur.」

It’s the spirit which made a pact with me a few days ago, Urzottle.

Lunaire had told me before that high rank spirit wasn’t bound by gravity.

To begin with, a high ranking spirit was living in Yggdrasil, a giant tree in the spirit world.

Urzottle should have the ability to fly in the air that rivals the Red King.

「Ur…? What’s that?」

Bennet asked me with an anxious look on his face.

「A really adorable dog spirit.」

「Does that guy really can fight against such monster?」

I raised 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 high up in the air.

「Summon Magic, 18th Rank《Urzottle(Sacred Beast Puppy Who Summon Death)》」

Magic circle appeared before me.

And then, a huge beast around three meters in length with beautiful blue fur appeared from within.

The golden eyes looked at me, and then at Bennet.

Its twin tails shook slowly.

Urzottle’s jaw opened.

The ground on which was touched by the saliva dripping from its sharp fangs raised a smoke.

Bennet furrowed his eyebrows, eyes opened wide in shock as he looked at Urzottle.

「AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

Urzottle happily rushed at me.

I returned 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 into its sheath, opened my arms to welcome Urzottle’s rush.

I caught it and gently patted Urzottle’s head.

「Sorry Ur, I have a little request for you.」

「AWOOOOOOO! WOOF, WOOF!」

Urzottle pressed its head on my palm.

I pulled back my hand after it calmed down.

Urzottle hung his head in disappointment but, it seems he knew that my request was urgent so he stopped whining immediately.

I looked at the Red King in the sky.

Urzottle followed my gaze.

「I need your help to chase that monster. Can you help me?」

Urzottle replied with nods.

「Y-You… Spirit aside, just what kind of monster you make a contract with…」

Bennet spoke as he retreated slowly, trying to get away from Urzottle.

His hands were touching the sword strapped on his waist, looking completely vigilant.

「Ur is adorable child you know.」

「You must be nuts…」

I ignored Bennet and rode on Urzottle’s back.

Urzottle kicked the ground and flew upward.

They flew straight toward the Red King.

「Awesome, we’re catching up immediately…!」

But then, the Red King’s old man’s face distorted when he noticed our presence immediately and raised its rising speed.

He seems to be desperate.

「That face can actually change its expression huh…」

The Red King figures it out quickly as soon as he felt that he would be at a disadvantage after using such dangerous magic on us seems to be the antithesis of their pretentious attitude.

A huge magic circle formed around the Red King.

Countless red lumps appeared from the magic circle, heading straight toward me.

I swung the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》, bisecting those red lumps.

I was safe, but it also prevented me from approaching the Red King.

「Since that’s the case, Try this!」

I pointed the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 on the location of the top of the Red King’s head.

「Time-Space Magic, 19th Rank《Gravibomb》」

Black light spread above the head of the Red King which made it scared sh*tless.

The Red King rushed toward us as if trying to escape from the black light.

It might have strong resistance but, it seems they realized that 《Gravibomb》 was dangerous.

Since it disturbed the space barrier around the Red King, maybe an attack of space-time was more effective against the Red King.

Anyhow, this should be enough to close the distance between us.

I sliced the red lump in half and closed in at once toward the Red King.

And then brandished 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》.

My attack missed and only managed to slice the area beside the face.

Its face distorted as if it were squirming in pain.

This moment, Urzottle flew higher than the Red King, turned around and rushed toward the Red King.

「Sorry Ur, I failed to finish it off. Its body is a little tougher than my expectation.」

The Red King’s face then looked at me with a begrudging filled look on its face.

He then conjured a magic circle again by the side.

But, we’re faster.

I wouldn’t miss the Red King this time.

I would finish them off with the next blow.

That moment, the Red King’s face transformed from angry to that of sneer.

As if it was mocking me.

Suddenly, a chill ran down into my spine.

「No way…!」

Their attack, the countless red lumps were fired at Manarak city below us.

Yes, they were not aiming at us.

「Ur, go down faster!」

Dammit, they were aiming at the city!

The Red King’s face changed into that of laughter as if they were amused seeing my reaction. 𝘧𝓇𝘦𝘦𝔀ℯ𝘣𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓂

I thought that the Red King was an unpredictable disaster-like monster.

And yet, I was wrong.

That fella was actually a lump of malice who enjoyed playing with this kind of small trick.

They were the incarnation of destruction which was impossible to predict.

They only revealed their true color once they got cornered like this.

I used 《Twin Mind Model》 and cast the same magic twice.

「Flame Magic, 20th Rank 《Apocalypse》」

Two fire dragons appeared in mid-air, destroying all red lumps fired by the Red King.

Despite the unexpected situation, I brandished 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 from Urzottle’s back.
