Atelier Tanaka Chapter 13.2

Dragon Extermination 3 (2/3)

We finally arrived at our destination, even though the trip wasnt what I would call safe.

We are currently halfway up Mount Pepe.

Im not sure if we are blessed with good luck or bad luck but we encountered it the moment we left the airship.

R-Red Dragon..

Allen got to the ground and stepped forward as the vanguard.

The words that escaped his lips, was the objective that we intended for.

The other members who followed along were petrified as soon as they took a step outside.

I was feeling the same way. What appeared before my eyes has confounded me.

Two of them. That is indeed beyond my expectation. [Tanaka]

Two enormous dragons resembling Western dragons have just entered the area below us. If you were to research information about the Red Dragons, their characteristics are actually easily recognizable.

The main issue right now is the size. They are about the same size as the airship. They are totally incomparable to size of the wyverns that we encountered earlier. Humongous.

Ku, going against two at once is indeed too much for a human..What should we do? [Fahren]

The noble mage was at a loss on what to do as well.

That is how serious the current situation is.

I wouldnt know either even if you were to ask me. Seriously, what are we going to do now?

AGI: 4442

INT: 10922000

LUC: 329

This is wondrous as usual.

What an unbalanced status!

My level has risen alot since the fight with the high orc and the wyverns but, the most overwhelming stats of all is still INT. Nonetheless, the instant those guys unleash their largest damaging attack that exceeds my current HP, it would be a game over. What a thrilling design this is.

I really miss the times when the HP of my enemies were in the lower digits.

Name: Annerose Leapman

DEX: 1521

AGI: 2830

INT: 1242

LUC: 891

Mercedes-chan, why is your self-declared name and the name on the status window different? Who the heck is Annerose Leapman? Come to think of it, I think this name did appear when I tried confirming her stats before in the prison. So is Mercedes her false name?

Well whatever. She must have a reason to it.

She did say that she was accused when we met for the first time in the prison.

I dont have the leisure to be worrying about that right now and it is not something that Im really interested in knowing either.

Name: Grimoire Fahren

DEX: 19821

AGI: 1030

INT: 41942

LUC: 3291

The noble mages stats will come in handy. I will be using this guy. Hes a splendid war potential.

His INT is about 30% higher than the dragon so I can expect high damage from him.

Not only Sophie-chan but the name given by the blonde haired loli was also a false one? Well seeing that she is the daughter of a distinguished noble, it was kind of understandable. In fact, the reason for her false name is easily understandable compared to Mercedes-chan.

Or rather, Ester-chan, have you stopped being human? I mean half-human at least. No wait, nows not the time to be worrying if shes a human. In the first place, its not good to discriminate against people. Yeah its not good.

Rather, there is a bigger problem now.

The group sex team is weaker than I thought.

It would be bad if I dont do something about this. There might be spells like BiKill, Haste or Rakukaja.2There should definitely be a skill in hand that I could use. I wouldnt know how we are going to pull through this fight against the dragons if not.

Passive:

Magic Power Recovery (MP recovery): Lv Max

Magic Efficiency: Lv Max

Language Knowledge: Lv 1

Active:

Recovery Magic: Lv Max

Fire Magic: Lv 3

Purification Magic: Lv 5

Flight Magic: Lv 55

Remaining skill points: 0

That was what I thought but, damn. I dont have any skill points left. This is the consequence after I got carried away earlier and pumped all my skill points on the flight magic. It was difficult to adjust.

Well its no use crying over spilled milk now. I should kill one of the dragon quickly so I could level up. This might be the only way to ensure the survival of the group sex team.

You can always gain the experience on the scene. Im the OJT type of guy.3

Aa, while Im at it, lets take a look at Sophia-chans stats.

Name: Sophia Bacon

Sex: Female

Race: Human

Level: 12

Jobs: Waitress

HP: 209/209

MP: 82/82

STR: 30

VIT: 70

DEX: 130

AGI: 92

INT: 90

LUC: 98030

(EN:I swear these names, what is going on?!) (TL: Raw is . Let me know if anyone has a better idea. Chalk it up to the author since we have Penny Empire and Republic of Pussy too xD )

What is up with this child. She has an excessively high LUC.

Bacon, youre amazing.

She would be able to survive on her own even if I were to leave her alone, wouldnt she?

Well whatever. Lets go with this.

I will restrain the two dragons movement. While I am at it, I would like the rest of you to concentrate your attacks on the right one please. As discussed in the meeting, I will be taking charge here. [Tanaka]

If the noble mage were to concentrate his firepower on one of them, it might be possible to bring one down. The other members are present too so they should be able give him a hand. We could use them to draw the attention of the two dragons in the meantime.

If we could defeat at least one, then I would not be the only one who would be gaining experience. The rest of the members will be able to level up too.

And, once I manage to acquire skill points, breaking through this obstacle would be a breeze.

The other plan I had in mind was to shoot my usual fireball attack with all my power. However, if that is not able to knock it down, then a counterattack would be inevitable. I have already experienced this before with the wyverns. Naturally, the damage would be enormous if the opponent were a last boss.

Seeing that prioritizing safety is our partys motto, we should conclude this after defeating at least one of them. My house is indeed important but, this party is undoubtedly also just as important at this moment.

After all, they did come all the way here after listening to what this ossan had said.

Okay, okay.

For some reason the tension has gone up as though I am in a boss fight.

By the way, the reason why everyones HP and MP have been fully restored was because a complete preparation was already made before we encountered this last boss. Regardless of the possibility of encountering the Red or Blue Dragon, we had already gulped down the potion to prepare ourselves beforehand. Although, I wonder how much is a bottle of potion. I was afraid to enquire the price.

You, are you really going to fight them? [Fahren]

I guess its going to be hard, isnt it? [Tanaka]

As expected, it appeared that ossan is also scared this time.

Would it be better to escape after all?

Nonetheless I dont think that all the members would be able to escape this place unscathed.

In my opinion, we would be able to minimize our damage if we were to try defeating them rather than escaping. [Tanaka]

I made the suggestion as I looked at him straight in the eyes.

It was a little embarrassing though, since he was staring back at me too.

Thats because he was making me tense with his gaze!

. [Fahren]

. [Tanaka]

There was a troubled look on his face for a split second.

However, he nodded in agreement to my proposal in the end.

I got it. [Fahren]

Youre fine with it? [Tanaka]

Fine? Of course Im fine with it. The word impossible does not exist in my dictionary. [Fahren]

Thank you. [Tanaka]

Although, he seemed bewildered right now. I wonder if it would be alright.

No no. This is not the time to be worrying about it now.

If I have known this would happen, I wouldve drunk alcohol to my hearts content before coming here.

Then, lets go! [Tanaka]

I tried to look cool by flying into the sky with my newly obtained flight magic. Kicking the ground, I soared into the sky with great force. The scenery around me passed by in just the blink of an eye.

Nonetheless, flying towards the dragons body directly is comparable to suicide. What would happen is similar to this scenario: Just as you switch off the light as you are lying in bed in the middle of the night, a mosquito suddenly appears, buzzing around your ears. Naturally, you will direct your attention to that source of noise.

I have a feeling that it would be an instant game-over if I were to receive even a single shot right now. It would be unbearable in various ways.
