While Karina and Kale were fighting.
I, along with Shabazou, was facing Zangetsu, a man with a transformable blade, and Drake, a man with super-hard scales.
Shabazo, in particular, was threatening the Drakes, who were his kin, with a roar like nothing I had ever seen before.
The young dragon, always in the habit of being timid, was very aggressive.
“Shabazo, take it easy. I will deal with the two of them first, so stay back.”
I instructed him to do so, but the young dragon standing next to me shook his head.
He suddenly ran off on his own.
As expected, it is heading for Drake.
“What, you!!”
Drake swung down his great sword, the blade of which was warped, mercilessly.
Shabazo quickly jumped to avoid it and bit him on the long neck.
“Idiot! That doesn’t even tickle!”
Drake was almost unharmed by the attack.
Of course, such an attack would have no effect on him.
Drake pulled the shabazo biting his neck away from him and picked it up in annoyance, then brought it close to his face and looked at it intently.
“Hmmm? If I look closely, you’re the Rainbow Dragonoind who escaped from …… that time!”
That time?
He knows Shabazo.
“Tell me what’s going on!”
“Wait, Seti the Reaper. I’m the one you’re dealing with—Ugh!?”
As soon as Zangetsu was about to say that, I activated a glimpse of my “super god speeding” and went behind him.
“…I’m sorry, Zangetsu, but give me one minute of your time. After that, I’ll fight you as much as I want.”
“Ggh, okay …… (I didn’t see you move as if you were moving).”
Zangetsu nodded and put some distance between himself and me.
Drake cursed and laughed, “Zangetsu, you’re always in the habit of acting like a big shot, you’re so lame!” and began to give details, “Well, I don’t care”
The Rainbow Dragon, the parent of Shabazo, is considered to be a household of the Gods and has ruled over dragons around the Grand Line continent since time immemorial.
It seems that they created dragon race like Drake and treated them as slaves.
As time went by, the dragon people began to gain wisdom, and eventually some of them awakened to powerful abilities such as grace-based skills, and the balance gradually began to collapse.
Finally, the dragon people, who had been slaves, rebelled, and both sides fought fiercely, and both went down the road to extinction.
“Then, the one who survived was me and this young dragon. But, …… it was 300 years ago. How are you still a young dragon? Aaah?!”
If Drake’s story is true, Shabazo would be over 300 years old.
It is indeed a strange story.
Dragons grow up quite fast.
Even an elder dragon should become an adult dragon within a year.
According to Hina’s story, Shabazo had been kept by Master Io since he was picked up by him when he was injured.
As far as I can tell, he was on the run from hunters specializing in the sale of magical beasts.
He must have lived his whole life hiding from that truth.
It is possible that he was shocked in some way and stopped growing up on his own.
But we don’t know.
“How could Shabazo hate you so much, even though there has been a long history of interspecies conflict?”
“Of course. The reason is that I was the one who started and led the rebellion 300 years ago and killed his mother! I beat her to death right in front of his eyes! And then he ran away crying with his tail between his legs, hahahahahahaha!”
I see, so he was shocked and stopped growing.
Shabazo …….
I put strength into the hand that grips the dagger.
“–I get the story, Drake. It’s time you let Shabazo go. …… or you’ll be sorry.”
“Reaper, you’re gonna kill me? You can’t hurt me, what can you do? No matter how much you try to stop time, the impossible is impossible, gyaahahahahaha! ! ! ”
The Drake, laughing with his big mouth open.
He is completely proud of his victory as he has decided that there is no way for me to accomplish this.
It’s true that it’s impossible to damage him with a normal attack.
–It’s just a normal attack.
Shabazo, who has been held up for a long time, begins to shake his long neck up and down.
Facing Drake up close, he raises his own face.
“Gawwah–!”
A moment later, Shabazo opens his mouth.
Gow–!
He spits flames and showers Drake’s face with them.
“Gaaaahhhh! My eyes, my eyes!”
Unable to resist, Drake threw Shabazo down.
He was in agony, holding both eyes.
His eyes seemed to have been burned by the flames that radiated from them.
“I told you you’d regret it. I see that your weakness is attacking the part of the body without the shell.”
“D-Damn! I can’t see anything! I can’t see anything!”
Drake is distraught by the unexpected surprise attack.
He was howling and just moving around, waving his great sword.
Shabazo landed on the ground and quickly moved to hide behind me.
This is just like him.
It was a great achievement, even if it was only to avenge an enemy who he had a grudge against.
“Well done, Shabazo! I’ll take care of the rest—Ooooooo!!!!”
I let the power of my entire body overflow and expand to a critical point all at once.
After the release of my overflowing power, I became an existence that exceeded the speed of light.
–I became a “super god speed” that dominates time!
Bash!
Drake’s upper jaw and head were cut in two, and he flew through the air in a spectacular motion.
As soon as the head hit the ground, a spray of blood spurts from the remaining torso.
Drake fell to his knees.
It was clear that he had died and would never get up again.
I am standing right next to the corpse.
I was holding a dagger up in the air.
As soon as I stopped time, I approached the drake, drove the dagger into the mouth of the distraught, big-mouthed man, and blew his head off with a double cut from the upper jaw.
Drake is vulnerable to attacks from the inside.
Thanks to Shabazo’s courage in giving me a hint.
I turn my head and look sharply at a man.
“–Zangetsu. You’re next.”
In response to the words and murderous intent I hurled at him, Zangetsu smiled with a grin as he folded his arms.
This guy …… could have joined in if he wanted to, but he’s been silent the whole time.
Zangetsu seems to have abandoned Drake.
“Reaper Seti, I can finally compete one-on-one with you,…… how long I’ve been waiting for this moment.”
“Well, you said something about a ‘title of the strongest’? I don’t have anything like that. The boss, or rather Mors, has taken the liberty of making it a billboard for the organization.”
“That’s not right… Being the strongest is not something that an individual can say and spread around. It is something that is praised by those around you and passed down from generation to generation based on your solid achievements and accomplishments. It’s proof that I’ve been recognized by those guys. I’ve always wanted to surpass you.”
“If you want the title, I’ll give it to you. As long as you promise never to appear before us again.”
“Impossible. I will kill you! I will take away the name of ‘Shinigami’ and the title of ‘the strongest in the organization’ with my actual strength!”
Zangetsu lifted the corners of his mouth abnormally and kicked the ground to close in.
Before I knew it, both of his hands were holding bladed swords without handles.
He has the skill ability to make countless blades appear from all over his body.
“I see, then I’m going to kill you!”
I readied both daggers and prepared to intercept him.
Incidentally, the trump card, “Super Divine Speed,” cannot be used continuously.
The drawback is that it requires a certain amount of time to wait before the next activation.
“Diee, Shinigami!”
Zangetsu’s blade attacked my neck.
I stepped forward with my two daggers and dived into his pocket.
But Zangetsu’s grace skill “Infinite Sword Style” was activated and multiple blades appeared from his abdomen and attacked.
“I won’t make the same mistake twice—but!”
I twist my entire body to avoid all the blades.
I tried to attack the lower half of his body by sliding on the ground, but this time, blades appeared from his knees to his shins and came at me.
He jumps backward, and once away from Zangetsu, he adjusts his stance.
(Damn it, ……, I can’t bypass the attack without “super god speeding up.”)
Drake, who I took care of, boldly said, “The strongest defense is the greatest attack.”
Zangetsu, on the other hand, is the exact opposite.
The strongest attack is the best defense.
This skill is a direct manifestation of Zangetsu’s battle-crazed temperament.
That’s what I realized.
