Chapter 47 - Showdown with the Rainbow Dragon

The massive Rainbow Dragon appeared before us.

"Guooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!"

A roar like the rumbling of the earth shook the sky and the ground.

The Rainbow Dragon unfurled its wings, its giant body coiling. A rainbow appeared in the sky, and its magic spread out in a radial pattern.

"Here it comes!"

Amy condensed her magic, deploying a water magic Aqua Javelin.

I, Mamoru, readied my staff, gathering the power of the earth.

Koni-chan's body became wreathed in flames, ready for battle.

...However, in the next moment, the dragon's eyes flashed.

"Hm...? Hey, something's not right..." Defray muttered.

Right before him, the rainbow-colored dragon opened its mouth wide and charged.

"Grrrraaaaaaaaaahhh!!!"

"W, whoaaaaaaahhh!?!? W, why is it only targeting meeeeeeeeee!!?"

Defray, the unexpected target.

"Eh... does it think you're a pig?" Koni-chan murmured.

"Who are you calling a pig!!!!! ...wait, is that a compliment!" For the Orc Tribe, pigs were sacred creatures. But the dragon mercilessly pursued Defray.

Ducking its tail, dodging its breath, Defray fled for his life!

"Hey, someone help meeeeeeee!!"

"...Actually, isn't this an opportunity?" Amy analyzed calmly.

"I see... Defray is acting as a decoy for us!" I nodded.

The Rainbow Dragon's scales began to turn a deep blue. Water attribute.

"Fire is next! At that moment, a 'remnant of water' will be left!"

"Leave it to me!" Amy unleashed her Aqua Javelin!

Zugaannnnnnn!!!

A flash struck the Rainbow Dragon's shoulder. A blue explosion erupted, and the dragon let out a cry of pain!

"It worked!! We're hitting its weak spot!"

Next, its scales turned red, shifting to the Fire attribute... after that was Earth.

"It's going to be Wind next! Since there's a remnant of Fire, that means..."

"It's my turn!" Koni-chan focused flames in both hands.

"Burning Scarlet!"

Dogaaaaaaaaaann!!

A direct hit. The membrane of the dragon's wing was burned, and it lost its balance!

The Rainbow Dragon roared, wreathed itself in lightning, and ascended into the sky.

"After Lightning... Light, Dark... it'll loop around back to Lightning!"

"Then right now, there's a remnant of Dark!"

"Here I go, I'll finish this!"

I focused the earth's magic and shouted loudly.

"Graviton Spike!!!"

The ground swelled, catching the dragon's leg. The next moment, the earth magic exploded!

The dragon's massive body staggered and finally collapsed!

"Now!! Defray, finish it!!"

"...I'll show you... I'm not a pig...!!"

Defray leaped up, imbuing his frying pan with lightning magic in mid-air.

"Superlative Thunder Omelet!!"

Bashuuuuuuuun!!!!!

With a crackle of lightning, the frying pan made a clean hit on the dragon's head!

The Rainbow Dragon collapsed.

Silence. The wind blew across the summit.

"...Did we... defeat it?"

"...We won..." We stood there, stunned.

Only Defray, with his hands on his knees, said while catching his breath.

"...W, with this... I've proven... I'm not a pig, right...?"

At that moment, Koni-chan murmured.

"Yeah... but, when you got burned by the fire, you smelled a little delicious..."

"So you still think I'm a pig after all!!!" The cry of Defray of the Orc Tribe echoed across the summit.
