Episode 465 Fighting the Jabberwock

　I jumped down from my seat, made sure Elmore was down too, and quickly put my hover cannon away in the stow armlet. Then I readied my light sword, Clau Solas.

　The Jabberwock flapped its wings like a giant bat. When I was surprised to see it fly, the wind whipped up by its wings blew like a storm.

Elmore, to the Shadows."

　Elmore jumps into my shadow and I activate my 'protection shield'. I jumped into the shadow of the D-particle robust shield that formed, and I glared at the Jabberwock through the shield.

　The Jabberwock immediately stopped flapping its wings. It doesn't seem to fly. Probably because it's too heavy or because this place is too small.

　I pull Elmore and Tamegoro out of the shadows and activate "Jet Flare" to send a D-particle jet shell flying. As if I knew how much energy was contained in it, I intercepted it with a lightning breath, raising my mouth wide.

...... big moves are sure to be squashed."

　Tamegoro grips the thunder hammer "Mjolnir" and pours magic power into it. Perhaps because of the enormous amount of magic power he poured into it, Mjolnir was glowing faintly. Tamegoro seemed to think that he had a good chance to do so immediately after he had breathed out the lightning breath.

　Tamegoro, who threw the Mjolnir with all his might, staggered a bit. He seemed to lose his strength for a moment because of the sudden flow of magical power.

　The thrown Mjolnir flew like an arrow, sucking in D-particles and becoming gigantic. Mjolnir, which had grown huge to about 20 times its length, hit the Jabberwock in the face and broke its huge fangs. He then converted the D-particles into electric shocks and unleashed them on the Jabberwock.

　There was a thunderous roar as if lightning had struck, and the Jabberwock's head shook as if it had been popped. If it had been an ordinary dragon, it would have been a coup de grace to finish him off.

　However, it seems that the lightning attack was a bad match for the Jabberwock, which spits out lightning breath. Still wobbling, he thought he had a chance, so he activated "Descrescent" and sent a D-particle boomerang flying.

　The Jabberwock was too late to notice the D-particle boomerang due to Mjolnir's attack; the D-particle boomerang hit the Jabberwock in the flank and rotated while radiating spatial vibration waves to extend its destruction range.

Stolen novel; please report.

　A large amount of blood gushed out of the Jabberwock's side. We ran up to him to finish him off, but the Jabberwock's eyes lit up and his mouth opened wide.

Elmore, Tamegoro.

　Elmore and Tamegoro rush to my side. I immediately activate "Close Shield" and deploy an air shield. This magic has a small number of properties, but it consumes a large amount of magic power. Therefore, the magic level that can be learned is "18".

　When the air shield was deployed and it was pitch black, he took out his flashlight and turned it on. Then he took out an immutable bottle and drank an all-purpose restorative.

"Phew."

　Looking out through Hakuro's eyes, the area around the air shield is burned and looks like lava. After deactivating the shield, we need to leave immediately or we will be steamed to a crisp.

　The hover vehicle was brought out and everyone climbed in. The moment the Jabberwock's lightning breath ceased, the shield was released and the hover-beakle jumped out.

　When I observed the Jabberwock, the blood that was gushing out so much has stopped. If he slackens his attack here, he is likely to recover.

　I activated the "Crash Ball" with seven parallel activation and shot out seven D-particle vibration balls in a vertical line at one-meter intervals. I repeated it three times.

　He launched a saturation attack, as he did with the tree dragon. The Jabberwock dispelled or avoided about half of them with its hands, but the other half hit and the spatial vibration wave skewered the Jabberwock's body.

　The Jabberwock screamed in pain. But there was an infinite will to fight in his eyes. This guy will not give up his will to fight until the day he dies.

　I clutched my light sword, Clau Solas, and signaled to Elmore, who was piloting the hoverbeak. Elmore brought the hover vehicle closer to the Jabberwock.

　Tamegoro stepped on the hover vehicle and threw Mjolnir once more. Spinning and flying, Mjolnir hit near the wound in his side and released a spark discharge.

　When I saw that the Jabberwock was in pain, I used "Flash Move" to move to the same height as the Jabberwock's head. When the magic was released in mid-air, I imagined the prominence of the sun as I poured a large amount of magical power into the light sword Clau Solas.

　Then, a huge red-tinted sword of light was born from the light sword Clau Solas. I confirmed this and swung the prominence blade down toward the Jabberwock while falling.

　A huge blade of red flame bit into the Jabberwock's chest. The energy that had formed the blade gathered on the Jabberwock's chest and became a two-meter-long swirling ball of flame heat that sank inside, burning the dragon's flesh with high heat.

　The Jabberwock clawed at his chest with both claws and tried to extract the flame-hot ball. However, the flame-heat ball, which had taken in the Jabberwock's magical power, bit into his massive chest and burned his heart.

　The Jabberwock's huge body collapses and twitches, but then it stops and disappears.

　I, who had been watching from a distance, feeling the tremendous heat, slowly approached and picked up the white magic stone.

"Dr. Grimm, I found the spear."

　I put away the magic stone and received the spear. I looked it up in the appraisal monocle and found that it was a spear of a magical weapon called "Geyborg. I had read about it in a weekly adventurer's weapon feature.

　It is a spear from Celtic mythology, a mythical magical weapon. If thrown with magical power, it is said to create multiple alter egos, fly, and pierce back through the enemy.

Gawd."

　Tamegoro shouts out. It seems he has found something. What Tamegoro found was something called combat boots. He checked them out with the appraisal monocle and found that they were magic equipment called "dragon scale boots. It seems that dragon scale boots are equipment that increases leg strength up to six times.

　I don't need it because I have the "Ring of Viceroy" and the "Ring of Hercules". I might as well give this equipment to Master Mitsuhashi as a gift.

　This was not the only drop. He also obtained 50 kilograms of purplish-gold steel. Weapons such as swords lose their sharpness when their blades are chipped or scratched, so they must be sent out for sharpening. The sharpness of the blade will return to normal, but the blade will gradually become thin and durability will become a problem.

　In this respect, swords made of shikin steel, for example, are automatically repaired, so there is no need to send them to be sharpened and they last longer. Shikin steel is a mysterious and convenient metal.

　We decided to return to the ground. We were tired. We decided that continuing on to the sixteenth layer would not end well.
