The dragonut was three and a half meters tall, and looked like a larger version of the blue iguana, with a bipedal humanoid form. Upon confirming this, I activated the "Sensing Zone" to increase the sensitivity of the D-particle sensor.

　The "sensing zone" allows information on the D-particle to flow into my head. However, with my ability, I could see the position, but could not see the detailed movement without seeing it.

　The dragonut held a longsword in his left hand and a shield in his right. Considering the rank of the demon, this was no ordinary shield or longsword.

　I activated "Crash Ball" in succession and scattered D-particle vibration balls. However, Dragonut seemed to have noticed it and quickly avoided it and started running.

　Its speed was too fast for the eye to follow. He hurriedly activated his "Magnetic Barrier" and deployed a magnetic barrier around himself. The next moment, a longsword slammed into the magnetic barrier with tremendous power.

　The D-particle magnetic core, the energy source of the magnetic barrier, becomes visibly smaller. It will only be able to withstand about two more times. Just when you think that, the longsword strikes again.

　It releases a D-particle vibration ball toward the dragonut behind the magnetic barrier. It hits the magnetic barrier and emits a spatial vibration wave toward Dragonut.

　The spatial vibration wave hits Dragonute's right thigh, puncturing the muscle. Dragoneut goes down on one knee as blood spurts from his leg. As he was about to release the D-particle vibration ball again, Dragonute's shield struck the magnetic barrier, causing it to collapse.

　I throw myself backward with a quint catapult. The wounded dragonet stares at me with horrified eyes. A cold sweat involuntarily breaks out on my back.

　He landed without using the "airbag. His upper body wobbled, but he endured and activated "Crash Ball II" to time the release of a spatial vibration wave ten meters in front of him.

　The dragonute avoided the high-speed vibrating ball and jumped sideways. During the leap, a spatial vibration wave was released from the high-speed vibration ball. The destructive space caught the right arm of the dragonute. The right arm covered with scales is crushed and the shield falls to the floor.

　A dragonute howled. There is something in the sound that terrifies humans, and I react with a start. A longsword is raised and swung in my direction. I had a bad feeling about this and jumped to the side.

　As the shockwave-like object passes by and hits the wall, part of the wall shatters and spills onto the floor.

Yucky."

　If you have a way to attack at long range, you can't be too careful, even if you have an injured leg.

　As I was about to activate "Crash Ball II" again, the dragonut disappears, and I know it leapt because of the movement of the D-particles. He leaps on one foot, jumps over me, lands behind me, and spins around, cleaving his longsword to the side.

　I frantically threw myself to the floor and rolled. At that moment, a shockwave generated by the longsword snagged my black scaled armor, causing pain in my back. I wondered what had happened to the "auto shield," but guessing from the power of the Dragonut, the D-particle shield must have been shattered by the longsword's attack.

　The dragonute disappears again. Realizing that it has leaped, he launches a quintuple activation "Titampush" at the dragonut that is moving through the air.

　The Titan Plate collides with the Dragonute and bounces back with tremendous force. The Dragonute flew backward while spinning. I activated "Crash Ball II" and chased after it with a high-speed vibrating ball.

　Dragonut notices the high-speed vibration ball in mid-air and tries to pop it with its longsword. However, the time-designated high-speed vibration ball emits a spatial vibration wave before it is played.

　The destructive space expanded and enveloped half of the dragonut's head and part of its chest. The dragonut was mortally wounded by the blow, but it got up after being knocked to the ground and threw its longsword, shortened by the spatial vibration wave, toward me.

Yikes."

　He hurried to avoid it, but the blade of the longsword zapped him in the left shoulder. Blood spurted from my shoulder. Immediately after that, I saw the dragonet disappear, and I frantically took out an intermediate level healing magic potion and sprinkled a small amount on my shoulder before gulping it down in one gulp.

　The effect of the magic potion stopped the bleeding, but the wound was not completely healed, so I used the "Ring of Healing". Around that time, the pain that made me want to scream hit me and slowly subsided.

　The "Ring of Cure" seems to have worked. Elmore came out of my shadow.

Are you okay?"

Ah, it seems the potion and the 'healing ring' did the trick."

'Please rest there. I'll find the drops for you."

　A black magic stone , five bottles of intermediate level healing potion, and a ring were found. The magic stone and the magic potion were put away, and the ring was examined with the monocle.

　The ring was the "Ring of Vikaran". It has the function of increasing one's speed eightfold. However, it consumes a large amount of magic power. It is not something that can be used for a long time.

　I told Metis about the ring.

You got what you came for. What are you going to do now?"

He said, "I've bled too much. Let's rest in the mid-boss's room and come back."

　After we went to the middle boss room, Metis checked me out.

'Your black scaled armor seems to be damaged, are you okay?'

　It turns out that the longsword was damaged when the dragonet cleaved the side of the longsword. When I took off my black scaled armor and examined it, I found that it was extensively damaged.

'I don't know if I can fix this. Metis, check my back."

　Metis examined the wounds on his back through Elmore's eyes and found that the wounds were closed by the effects of the magic potion and the "healing ring.

　He takes off his equipment and invokes "Puppet Wash" against himself. Blood and other stains are cleaned up. After cleaning the blood on the equipment as well, I change into new clothes.

　I rested for a day in the middle boss room and then headed for the ground.

How did you feel when you fought the Dragonut?"

It was strong. If I hadn't punched a hole in the dragonut's leg at the beginning, I think it would have been a much closer fight."

'During the course of the film, the dragonut seemed to disappear, what happened to it?'

I just leaped with all the power I had. The power was so extraordinary that it seemed to disappear.

'Is that what you mean? To fight a demon like that, you need a sorcery eye that can handle high speed.

　The sorcery eye attached to the hairband prepared for Métis and Elmore's sorcery eye is not compatible with high speeds, so it seems that we will lose sight of the demons fighting at high speeds.

　When I returned to the ground, Metis recommended that I go to the hospital for a checkup.
