Black Iron Magician

Chapter 381 Windmill

While Deris was accurately stepping on a land mine, Haruna and the others didn’t stop their advance. When triceratops or giant rhinoceros-like dragons rushed through the ground, Haruna used her aiki to send back the force and impact to them. When agile dragons shot their powerful breaths or attacked with sharp claws from the sky, Touko, who’s faster than them, exploded her ki to send them away along with the breath attacks. Some even attempted a surprise attack from the ground, but even that was meaningless in the face of Chinatsu’s ability to detect danger.

「W-What the hell are those girls!? Are they monsters in human skin!? Their power, speed, techniques, toughness―― everything far surpasses ours!」

「Stop whining! Rather than that, attack them with breath!」

「Ugh…! At this rate, they will reach Nii-san’s place! He’ll get angry at us later!」

「I don’t want to get yelled, but there’s nothing we can dowaaaah――!?」

Just like that, no matter what the level 6 dragons do, they are no match for the girls. It’s no wonder that the path Haruna and the others passed through was filled with the fainted dragons. Even so, they are the guardians who have been untrusted by Rimudo and Satella to protect the island. They got scared by Nell’s bloodlust, but there’s no way they would get scared by three little girls. They are determined to fight and prevent the girls to reach the next island.

「In the end, they are just three human girls. There’s no problem as longguah!?」

「「「Leader!?」」」

The leader of the guardians, who’s level 7, tried to raise the morale, but was hit by a blue fist and flew away. Yes, the attention tends to be focused on the girls, who have a big gap between their appearances and strength, but there’s another enemy to watch out for.

「Hmm, was it a little too strong?」

Muscular, strong, and an overwhelming body build. The dignified blue person tilted his head slightly.

(((There’s someone big over there…!?)))

The eighth rank of the Great Demons, the 『Domination Craver』 Hund Lind starts to repel the dragons in a straightforward manner. The girls alone could repel the enemies, but he feels sorry if he does nothing, so he joined the fight. The dragons are now in even more of a tight spot.

Rather than a steady advance, this is now more like a battle between giant elephants and ants. There’s no way to stop Haruna and the others, and no matter what kind of dragon they are, those who block the way are being trampled down equally. At this rate, it will be only a matter of time before Haruna and the other leave the sixth island.

「「………」」

There were two human figures looking down on the ground from high in the sky. Yes, the figures were not in the form of giant dragons, but in the form of human beings.

「What the hell is that damn mother thinking? It’s unprecedented for such a group of strong people to challenge the trial together. Well, I’m stronger than them, though.」

One of the figures is a man. The man’s body is almost as big as Hund’s, and his muscles are not inferior to those of Hund. He has a wild appearance, with his blond hair standing wildly back like a lion’s and his upper body is naked for some reason with fur wrapped around his waist, which makes him very unapproachable. In fact, the distance to the other figure is quite far.

「Zuha, don’t be conceited. Maybe this is a challenge from Dad and Mom. You’re so conceited, so they asked their acquaintance to give you a painful experience. Otherwise, I can’t explain that strength.」

The other figure, a woman with a good physique, warned the man who seems to be Zuha. The woman has pink hair, and she weaves the left half of her hair into a braid and the right half into a ponytail, giving her a very punk-ish look. Not losing to Zuha, her outfit is also revealing. If she were to appear in front of Deris like this, Nell’s mood would surely plummet to the bottom.

「Ha? Who are you calling a conceited pig? Yuba, don’t get carried away just because you’re the eldest daughter.」

「Nobody said that, you damn water flea.」

「Y-You bastard! Are you saying that water fleas are less than pigs!? Don’t underestimate them! They are a hundred times cuter than you!」

「Is that so. I’m not interested. Rather than that, just go already. The last part of the sixth island is under your jurisdiction, right?」

「You bitch…!」

These two are the eldest son and eldest daughter of the dragons known as Rimudo’s right and left arms, and their names are Zuha Baha and Yuba Baha. Since they hatched out from the egg on the same day, have the same strong feelings of rivalry toward each other, and are equally strong, they are always quarreling―― quarrel, quarrel, quarrel, and receive a fist from Satella. They have a unique history that they have become so strong due to the quarrel. Of course, they have a lot of battle experience other than that, but it always ended quickly and they started to quarrel again. No matter how the battle turned out, the time spent on the quarrel is longer than the time spent on the battle. Therefore, the quarrel accounts for a large part of the reason for the growth of the two. The bad relationship is so bad that if they don’t grapple and quarrel for a fixed amount every morning, noon, and night, they will get sick. To be honest, no one is quite sure if the two are actually on good terms or not.

「Tch! Well, it’s certainly only a matter of time before they get out of this island. It’s annoying that it feels like I’m being refuted, so we will continue this after I defeated them! Hey, did you understand!?」

「Yeah, I got it. Just go already. If you’re really too late, I will scorn you.」

「You don’t have to tell me!」

Zuha begins to descend vigorously. The landing spot is where Haruna and the others are heading, and he intends to go for the enemy’s throat himself.

「H-Hey! Don’t forget to undo your human form! If you don’t return to your normal form, you won’t be able to show your true strength!」

「Haha! It’s not that I’m going to fight against you. Staying like this is just right!」

「…… He’s really stupid.」

Yuba clicked her tongue toward Zuha who went in his human form. The descent of Zuha is only for a moment, and he will reach the ground the next moment. In other words, she won’t be able to stop him in time.

「I’m here! My name is――」

「――Hah!」

「ZuhAAAAAA!?」

Zuha was planning to surprise the challengers with his sudden appearance from the sky, but he was unable to finish his words from the landing. Without being surprised at all, Haruna launched a foot sweep the moment she recognized Zuha’s appearance. Even if his status is higher than Haruna’s, there’s no way to defend against it if her 『Little Peerless』 is activated. Zuha drew a circle like a windmill and turned 180 degrees along with his vision. Instead of his feet, the one that touched the ground was his head.

「Birdlime bullets!」

Touko shot four ki bullets right after Haruna’s foot sweep. The birdlime bullets, which specialized in stickiness, were accurately sticking to Zuha’s limbs and pushed him down to the ground.

「Uoooh!? W-What the hell is this!? It sticks to the ground and won’t come off…! But if it’s just this much…!」

Zuha tries to pull off the birdlime bullets with all his might. The adhesive power of the birdlime bullet is strong, but it doesn’t seem to be impossible to remove it with his strength. …… However, removing it in this situation won’t go smoothly.

「*Inhales*…. Here I come!」

An ominous voice came from around the belly of the defenseless Zuha. Haruna, who took a mounting position, cast her magic on her both fists.
