” Isn’t it a dragon chimera?”

 

　Vicky wrinkled her eyebrows and stared at me.

 

　Then, she burst out, rolled over and started to laugh.

 

“Ahahahaha! What are you saying, it’s not a not a dragon chimera? Well, you’re ahead of me and you’re lying again?”

 

　Vicky laughed and pointed at the thing.

 

　The innocent dwarven might have believed my words before, but this time she didn’t.

 

　That’s because she had her own backing.

 

“It matches the characteristics. The scales of the black armor dragon, the wings of the flame of Garuda. The face of the dragon.”

 

“Oh, but if it really is the scales of a black armor dragon.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Did you forget the important thing?”

 

　I say so and point to the neck of a monster that seems to be a dragon chimera.

 

“Look. Look at this long neck …”

 

“neck?”

 

“Have you ever heard that the black armor dragon has a long neck?”

 

“Ah……”

 

　Vicky also notices something.

 

　The face that had turned red and laughed suddenly turned pale.

 

“Yes. The black armor dragon is not a long neck. In the first place, the black armor dragon is the Earth dragon Chimera. “

 

　A dragon that moves over the earth is called an earth dragon.

 

　Originally, dragon species are based in the sky, but some dragons are based on the ground or underground.

 

　Such dragon species generally have degenerated wings and form scales and membranes like hard rocks. Also, because they live on the ground, and do not have to look in all directions. so it is said that their head has also become degenerated and shortened.

 

　However, the black armor dragon is a kind of exceptional earth dragon.

 

“And this isn’t a dragon.”

 

“eh?”

 

“Probably a Wyvern. A chimera of Wyvern and Garuda.”

 

“That …”

 

　Vicky slumps.

 

　That alone did not deny my point.

 

　She is still a former S-class hunter. Her head is as good as my disciple, but she has some knowledge of monsters. Because she was also investigating the Black Armor Dragon, she probably prepared a weapon called Escaliborg.

 

“Even so —“

 

　Wyvern and Garuda? It’s not a rare combination. What I care about is the scales that cover the Wyvern’s skin.

 

　You won’t know until you take a closer look, but this is probably a characteristic of the Black Armor Dragon. It looks like Wyvern and Garuda, but this is the only difference.

 

　Is the blood of the black armor dragon mixed? Or do they have similar characteristics to other Wyverns? However, there is no Wyvern with hard scales that I can remember to defend Vicky’s full power.

 

　Wyverns are flying dragons-monsters that specialize in flying. The scales are lighter and more brittle than the earth dragon species because the mass increases as the density of the scales increases. That is generally true for flying dragon species.

 

　Then, is it a chimera that mixes more monsters from the black armor dragon?

 

　This is possible, but not very realistic.

 

　Another thing I can think of is …

 

“Is it an artificially made monster …”

 

　I instinctively hold my fist. My head was about to boil.

 

　what if it’s those guys, If they’re involved, I’ll go home and get full equipment right away …

 

“Zelet!”

 

“What? I’m Thinking now …”

 

“That’s not the case! Look at that !?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

　I look at the west sky. There were countless things like black dots.

 

　As they approach us, they become clearer.

 

“That is……”

 

“Dragon Chimera?”

 

　To be precise, it’s not a dragon chimera.

 

　But that’s right for the Wyvern Chimera that Vicky killed.

 

　Garuda’s characteristic flame wings are fluttering and its crown is pointing towards us. It’s going to attack us.

 

“30, no … is there 50?”

 

“Hmm! No matter how many come, I’ll blow them away.”

 

　Vicky attacks the Wyvern Chimera as she did when she killed it earlier. She turned the crown and defeated the menacing chimeras one after another.

 

　Escaliborg seems to be quite effective.

 

　She crushed those hard scales one after another.

 

　I don’t want to praise her so much, but it would be very helpful to have the same former S-class as myself at such times.

 

　However, the number is the number.

 

　I also have to give some support.

 

　I took out a long [gun sword] from the coat.

 

　[Paralyzed bullet] Is loaded and I’m ready. In the next moment.

 

　Doo! !!

 

　A sound similar to an explosion sounded in the depths of the forest.

 

　I turned the tip of the barrel that was pointing to the sky to the ground. Seen through the aim, it’s a swarm of monsters.

 

　On the contrary, I tilt my head when I wonder where such a monster came from. I didn’t even notice when I got to the forest …

 

　As I knocked down the trees and bushes, I was approaching a giant hippo-like monster with three horns.

 

“Trikeradon …!”

 

　It is a small dragon among the earth dragons.

 

　It does not blow fire and is less dangerous among dragon species, but its rushing power is like Magic silver Mithril. It has a destructive power enough to twist even a castle gate made of wood.

 

　Trees and bushes Compared to Magic silver Mithril, is like paper.

 

“10 … No, 11 …”

 

　I changed the aim of [Cannon Sword] from the above Wyvern Chimera to Trikeradon.

 

　[Paralyzed bullet] I reloaded it into a normal lead bullet, and I aimed at it.

 

　Doo!

 

　I pull the pistol grip.

 

　Lead bullets should have passed between trees and pierced the urgent key points of Trikeradon.

 

　Immediately after, my bullet was deflected.

 

“Now!”

 

　I screamed lightly.

 

　I know that the scales of Trikeradon are hard, but it shouldn’t be able to withstand the sniper with my [gun sword].

 

“Zelet! What are you doing !!”

 

　Vicky is coming down.

 

　Apparently, she noticed something was wrong with the ground and came back. I thought she was more involved in the fight, but she seems to have a surprisingly broad perspective.

 

　However, many Wyvern chimeras still remained in the sky.

 

“Vicky, you left the sky”

 

“But”

 

　She asks with her eyes, “Are you okay?”

 

　Good grief…….

 

　It is out of my mind to be worried at this level.

 

　No matter how much I have a blank and I don’t have this equipment.

 

  

　I held the [gun sword] again.

 

“Hey! Your bullets don’t work.”

 

　When I hear Vicky’s words, I pull the pistol grip.

 

　At the moment, one trikeradon struck. If it loses its posture, it will get caught in the trikeradon behind and collapse.

 

　Vicky won’t know what happened.

 

　But without answering the question, I keep pulling the pistol grip towards Trikeradon.

 

　Trikeradon collapses one after another. When I killed all 11 of them, I immediately pointed the [gun sword] at the sky.

 

　Aim in an instant and pull the pistol grip.

 

　The Wyvern Chimera dripped fresh blood. it bends over its body and falls to the ground.

 

“Hey …. You really have good eyes …”

 

　Vicky was trembling.

 

Her face turns blue.

 

　That’s it. I’m aiming for monster eyes.

 

　No matter how much the scales are like a black armor dragon, it is difficult to train their eyes. And with my sniper’s aim, the eyes of a monster with eyes much larger than humans are just easy targets.

 

　It doesn’t die instantly and may not be suitable as an ingredient, but since it’s not my prey this time, I don’t have to worry about it.

 

　Dan!

 

　The last Wyvern chimera is the prey for my lead bullets.

 

　After being struck hard on the ground, it stopped moving.

 

　I put away the [gun sword].

 

“I’m done”

 

“Huh? What are you saying …”

 

“I shot a little too many wasted bullets. Overtime, but is this also an expense?”

 

　I was worried about the price of the bullets I shot.
