I continued to shatter the incoming blades with my fists.
For those I couldn’t react to in time, I swiftly stepped left, right, forward, and backward to evade them.
「Not bad.」
I praised the Blade Dragon’s attack.
Attacking from the air, raining down blades on enemies below—
If a dragon like this attacked a city, it would be a one-sided massacre.
「But it won’t work on me.」
The moment I said that—
I shattered the last of its blades.
The Blade Dragon stared at me in shock.
「Who… what are you? Not only did you block my breath attack, but you also withstood my full-power blades? That is simply impossible for a mere human.」
「If it were an ordinary human, sure. Avoiding your attacks would be next to impossible.」
「So you are… something beyond human?」
「See for yourself. I am a being who overcomes all.」
At my bold proclamation, the Blade Dragon responded.
「You are strong, I admit… but in the end, you are only human.」
Its voice was like a chant, reciting an unshakable law of nature.
「Humans are bound to the earth, unable to soar through the sky. They may look up at dragons—but never down upon us. That is the fate of your weak and fragile kind.」
The words were harsh.
But they weren’t wrong.
Most people in this world cannot fly.
Floating magic does exist, but it’s a legendary spell—only a rare few can use it.
That’s why humans struggle against flying monsters.
Especially intelligent beings like dragons, who fully understand the tactical advantage of aerial combat.
Humans cannot defeat dragons just because dragons are stronger—
But because they rule the skies.
(My psychokinetic martial arts can’t reach it up there…)
I thought to myself.
Even if I threw my mithril weapons, they wouldn’t pierce its hardened shell.
Which means—
(I have no choice but to use psychokinesis.)
It’s a power I’d rather keep hidden, but… no helping it.
I’ll finish this with psychokinesis.
「It may be true that humans cannot reach dragons. But I do not abide by common sense. If it exists—I will break it.」
The Blade Dragon fell silent.
「I could come up to your level, but… no. This time, I’ll drag you down to mine.」
「…What?」
The Blade Dragon sounded puzzled.
I raised my hand—aiming directly at it.
Then—
I activated psychokinesis.
「…!?」
The Blade Dragon’s eyes widened in shock.
In the next instant—
As if seized by an immense gravitational force, its body was yanked downward.
「Nngh… OOOOHHH!!?」
The massive dragon plummeted, crashing into the rocky platform below.
The impact sent tremors through the ground, stirring up a whirlwind of dust and debris.
