Without a moment's delay, s.h.i.+ro charged forwards and whipped her spiked chains towards the dragon.
Wrapping around the dragon's head, she gave them a gentle tug which in turn launched her toward the dragons head.
Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom - Counter weight Phantom.
*PUCHI!!!!
Just before the collision, she retracted one of the chains and changed it into a sword before stabbing it into the hard outer sh.e.l.l of the dragon. Only this time with more success.
Twisting her sword, green fire suddenly exploded out from the edges and into the dragon's flesh, searing it from the inside out.
*ROARRR!!!!
The dragon cried out in pain as his inner defences were much weaker when compared to his quickly regenerating outer defence. Although he could still heal all of the damage that she had caused, it would take a little longer than healing an outside wound.
Seeing her attack deal more damage than before, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes and flipped off the head of the dragon. During this, she had also flicked both her chains upwards which caused two shallow cuts along the shoulder area of the dragon.
Not giving it the chance it needs to heal, s.h.i.+ro flexed her fingers and sent several life fire coated daggers into the wounds.
Bursting into a ball of flames, the fire hindered the dragon's regeneration.
However, while this was happening, the dragon had already swept his tail towards s.h.i.+ro.
s.h.i.+fting her body slightly, s.h.i.+ro used the momentum of the tail to make some room between her and the dragon.
Slamming her palms down, the spiked chains on her wrist drilled into the ground. A magic circle enlarged around the dragon as fissures could be seen forming slowly.
*RUMBLE! BANG!!!
Several huge chains appeared around the dragon and wrapped around him before dragging him downwards.
Twisting her palms, she sent mana through the chains causing them to set ablaze with life fire. In addition to this, hooks shot out from each segment of the chains which prevented the dragon from removing the chains as easily.
Standing back up, s.h.i.+ro had to stop herself from falling backwards. She placed her hand on her chest and tried to soothe the pain that she was feeling.
After a short moment of rest, she flicked her finger upwards as ice started to form above the dragon.
A giant guillotine made from ice appeared above the dragon. Slamming her palms downwards, the guillotine followed her movements and attempted to decapitate the dragon.
However, the dragon only scoffed for a moment as the eyes all over his body glowed ominously. A black light filled her vision and once it cleared, she saw the dragon split itself into smaller copies which allowed it to escape his bindings along with avoiding the falling guillotine.
Furrowing her brows, s.h.i.+ro had to deactivate her Pseudo Ice Elemental Armour since any longer and her MP would be completely emptied out. Right now, her best option was to let her pa.s.sive work its magic and regenerate her MP.
Each of the dragons glanced at each other before slowly merging together. It knew that if it split itself, it would give her more chances to harm it during combat due to the fact that his power is shared between all of the copies. He would only use this when he is in trouble.
He could tell the potential danger from her attack just now as his instincts were warning him. Even if he could regenerate, it would not be easy.
But the reality of the situation was that he didn't need to worry at all. s.h.i.+ro was out of options and could only struggle to even stand straight right now.
"Ha… you tenacious little s.h.i.+t." She cursed whilst glaring at the calamity dragon.
Taking a deep breath, s.h.i.+ro crouched into a low stance and kept her eye on the dragon. Since she couldn't use her mana right now since it's slowly regenerating, she was going to use her phantom arts to the best of her abilities.
"Heh, it isn't often that this miss is pushed to the limits. Make it worthwhile would you darling?" s.h.i.+ro grinned in an attempt to provoke the dragon.
Clearly it worked since the dragon narrowed the myriad of eyes all over his body.
Without warning, it sent a claw swiping towards her.
Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom + 4th Phantom.
Doing a split, s.h.i.+ro easily ducked under the claw and sent her elbow slamming against the wrist of the dragon.
*BANG CRACK!!!!
Due to the fact that 4th Phantom, Internal Feasting Phantom, ignores the outer defences and attacks the insides; she was able to transmit the force against the wrist and fracture the dragon's bones.
"Is that all?"
Flipping her body around and over the arm, s.h.i.+ro slammed her heel into the forearm.
Since Yin Style Phantom Arts were a movement and hand to hand combat based martial arts, s.h.i.+ro wasn't able to use it often with weapons.
Not to mention, she had her Nanomancer Cla.s.s, so purposefully disarming herself wasn't recommended just to use the martial arts. Plus, with the kind of output her firearms could produce, she didn't need to go into hand to hand combat.
"s.h.i.+ro!!" A voice suddenly shouted out, grabbing her attention.
*BANG!
"What the h.e.l.l do you want?" s.h.i.+ro shouted back in frustration since that shout had created a lapse in her concentration. This caused her to miss the timing and couldn't hit the arm of the dragon for the third time.
Her punch instead hit the ground and caused a hole to appear on the roof.
She had to quickly jump back as the hole was expanding rapidly.
"Ah, right, we can help!" Alex replied as he and the party spread out a little in order to avoid the dragon's attacks.
After interrogating the cultists, they had managed to find a set of potions that will help them see the shadow creatures.
After seeing the dragon, they were slightly repulsed by how it looked with the myriad of eyes scattered around his body but they didn't verbalise their disgust. They could tell that the dragon was on a whole new level and they needed to end it fast.
"The dragon we're seeing right now is walking calamity. His power is sealed away in another dimension. We need to kill the dragon before all of his power is recovered." Nathan shouted out whilst slas.h.i.+ng at the dragon's scales a few times. However, the lack of damage caused him to furrow his brows.
"No wonder I'm still alive." s.h.i.+ro nodded since a real dragon wouldn't let her live this long.
"The cultists had an unholy item that will help them control the dragon to a certain degree. We'll use that and help you kill the dragon." Alex said whilst pulling out the unholy item.
s.h.i.+ro paused in shock as she had seen that item before.
"Are you sure that's the item?" She asked carefully whilst jumping over one of the dragon's attacks.
"Yes. From the ancient records that we found, as long as we place this item on the dragon, we'll be able to influence the dragon." Alex said seriously as he made sure to keep the item safe.
s.h.i.+ro felt her lips twitch as the unholy item he was talking about is a huge Pink Fluffy Cuff
'Who the h.e.l.l uses BDSM gear to control a f*cking dragon!!!' s.h.i.+ro cursed mentally as she held back on the desire to kill whoever created the item.
"Alright, do you know how to use it?" She asked.
"I'm sure you just put this around the neck right?"
"I mean sure it's a little different from normal cuffs. Since it's pink and fluffy, but I'm sure the ancient records aren't wrong." Alex said as he had a complicated expression.
'It's fine. No matter what happens in the dungeon, it stays in the dungeon. No one needs to know outside of the dungeon or else the dragon's prideful name would be ruined.' She thought to herself.
However, she couldn't help but imagine the dragon tied up with some rope, cuffed and chained to a bed.
Weak and vulnerable to whatever they wanted to do…
'Pui! What am I thinking about!!' s.h.i.+ro thought and slapped herself out of the daydream.
"How do we enlarge the cuffs? Because that is not holding back the dragon." She asked.
"It said that we can just throw it at the dragon and it'll contain it." Ale replied as he took a
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Then why the h.e.l.l are you still holding it?!!! F*cking throw the thing!"
"Ah! Right!"
Alex threw the pair of Pink Fluffy Cuffs towards the dragon, which tried to flee as he understood what the cuff's could do.
"Get over here!" s.h.i.+ro shouted as six chains grabbed the dragon by the wings and forced it down.
*BOOM!!!
The cuffs expanded over the dragon's head and shrunk down into a pink slave collar of sorts. Not only that, but the moment the fluff came into contact with his scales, they hardened up into spikes that easily penetrated the dragon's scales.
*ROARRRR!!!
The dragon's body twitched in pain as he thrashed around in an attempt to rip the cuff off his body. Even to go as far as to start tearing off chunks of flesh.
s.h.i.+ro paled slightly from the damage it was causing as she would have died easily if it had used the same amount of effort in killing her.
This only showed her that she was akin to a child that the dragon didn't even need to take seriously.
After a short moment, the dragon started to slow down as the l.u.s.tre on his scales started to dim.
[Weakened Calamity Dragon - LVL 45]
HP: 1,500,230/500,000,000
MP: 120,020/100,000,000
"The f*ck?! it actually worked????" s.h.i.+ro couldn't help but mutter in surprise.
Seeing the dragon weakened to this degree, s.h.i.+ro made eye contact with the other members of the elite squad and nodded her head.
Glancing at her HP bar, she sighed in relief since it should be just enough to kill the dragon.
"GO!"
At her command, the party leapt into action. Emilie and Felicia retreated and shot out arrow after arrow. Each of the arrows would pierce the intended target without miss.
Nathan and Alex on the other hand, dashed up the spin of the dragon and made cuts all over his body.
Due to a certain pink cuff that was sapping the dragon of his strength, his overall physical power was weakened by a lot as well.
h.e.l.l, if the dragon was like this a few moments earlier, s.h.i.+ro could have easily soloed it and ended this trial.
As the party continued their relentless a.s.sault against the dragon, his health was dropping rapidly. Even when it used its dragon breath, s.h.i.+ro could defend against the breath with a few layers of her reinforced ice walls.
After their roles switched, the dragon could only suffer the beatings with no chance of retaliation.
s.h.i.+ro was especially ruthless since she suffered so much in his hands. It was to the point that even her party flinched at the brutality.
Every single scale on his back would be ripped out piece by piece. If they regenerated, she would rip them out once more.
*roar…
The dragon cried out weakly as it could feel his time come to an end.
However, s.h.i.+ro wasn't going to let it have an easy death.
"Since you liked to toy with my this much, this queen will teach you what happens!" She shouted out as she dislocated the dragons wings and ripped them out of their sockets.
*ROARR!!!!
"I'm not done yet!" s.h.i.+ro shouted whilst repeating the action with the other wing.
Jumping off the back of the dragon, s.h.i.+ro raised her hands and conjured up two hands made from ice and held the dragon in its place.
"Wait s.h.i.+ro what are you doing?" Alex asked.
"Just watch. It's going to be a surprise hahaha." s.h.i.+ro chuckled darkly as her eyes glowed with a s.a.d.i.s.tic light.
She was going to make sure this dragon died of humiliation.
Creating a third arm to lift up the tail, s.h.i.+ro exposed the dragon's reverse scale.
A huge magic circle appeared behind its rear and thrummed with a neon blue light.
Both the dragon and the party members could feel the mana surge around the magic circle.
Their collective faces paled since they could guess what she was going to do.
*ROAR!!!
The dragon tried to escape the restraints but couldn't cause them to budge even a little.
Time was short and it knew it couldn't escape.
With no other option, it could only choose to self destruct in order to avoid humiliation.
"Don't think about it!" s.h.i.+ro shouted out in anger. She wasn't about to let it escape her revenge.
Her instincts controlled her as she knew that she had to stop the self destruction for two reasons. Number one is because that means she couldn't pierce his a.s.s and number two is that they would die if it blew up. Naturally, she was doing it for reason two and not one. *Cough*
In order to self destruct, one would need to gather the surrounding mana into their bodies and ignite their bodies as a bomb. As long as she could either divert or remove the mana around the dragon so that it couldn't blow up, they'll be fine.
An idea popped into her mind as she flicked her wrist. The magic circle started to s.h.i.+ft causing four tendrils to extend out of the magic circle and injected themselves into the dragon's body.
*GAHRRRRR!!!
The dragon screamed as it could feel the mana getting redirected into the mana circle. The more it tried to suicide the faster the magic circle charged up.
"s.h.i.+ro, can we talk about this? Why don't we just kill it normally?" Alex asked.
"Nope!"
*BANG!!!!!
The ice spike pierced the dragon and turned into a famed dish in her past life.
Dragon Meat on Skewers.
