The Blade Dragon lifted slightly into the air.
Then, with a swift glide, it closed the distance between us in an instant.
Its razor-sharp claws slashed toward me.
A single devastating strike, infused with immense speed, power, and magic.
But I leaped backward, dodging its attack.
Though the strike missed, the sheer force of its swing unleashed a howling gale.
「…Tch.」
The Blade Dragon followed up with another attack.
This time, it lashed its tail toward me in a sweeping arc.
Ducking wasn’t an option—so I leaped upward.
「Idiot.」
The dragon muttered.
It opened its massive jaws, gathering crimson-orange magic within.
(A dragon breath attack…)
I anticipated.
Just as expected—
A torrent of fire erupted from its mouth, surging toward me like a beam of destruction.
A hellish blaze, imbued with overwhelming heat and magic.
But—
I punched the breath attack, shattering the flames with psychokinetic combat techniques.
「!?」
The Blade Dragon recoiled in shock.
I spoke.
「That wasn’t your true strength, was it? Come at me with your best.」
「…Do not get ahead of yourself, human.」
Its voice trembled with rage.
「Very well. I shall unleash my full might upon you.」
The Blade Dragon flapped its wings, taking flight.
A powerful gust tore through the air, whipping my clothes violently.
Soaring into the sky, the dragon pulled back to gain distance—hovering 40 meters above the ground.
Then—
It gathered tremendous energy in its wings—
And unleashed it all at once.
「…!」
Countless blades materialized.
Dozens of silver flashes streaked through the air, slicing toward me like scything wind.
Each blade—a massive, three-meter-long crescent of light.
Blades imbued with cutting magic.
Their speed, power, and sharpness were unparalleled—strong enough to slice through diamond as if it were paper.
A normal person—would be bisected instantly.
But—
「Hah!」
I shattered the incoming blades with a punch.
Another blade—I kicked apart.
Yet another—I struck down with a knife-hand.
With hand-to-hand combat, I crushed the Blade Dragon’s most powerful weapon—its blades.
「W-what!?」
The Blade Dragon let out a cry of shock.
