Chapter 82 (2)
Tatsumi, who lost his weapon, was just whiling away time. He had a thought for a second, “If I leave this place and escape at full speed there is a higher chance of survival”. However, Tatsumi disregarded the thought as quickly as it came.
Tatsumi kept a safe distance from the flying dragon while drawing a large arc. Adding small transitions at times and continuously flying. Tatsumi was already in complete control of this new magic, flying.
Today’s Tatsumi is able to move around more freely in three dimensions than in water.
The flying dragon could not catch up with Tatsumi, and spat flames at him many times in a gallant way, but with Tatsumi’s ‘moment transition’ he was able to duge the flame gently and lightly.
While waltzing in the sky, Tatsumi continued to think of a way to counterattack somehow.
Tatsumi glanced at the flying dragon and looks at his right hand. which has several layers of thin strands of Vermilion gold. A weapon that was once used by the great Mage. The weapon, given the disproportionate name ‘Amaryllis’ lays silently on Tatsumi’s arm.
Is it a good idea to pour magic into this gauntlet and strike the Dragon directly? As magic strike can be used without a sword.
Amaryllis is a gauntlet in the form of a fist on Tatsumi’s right arm, extending all the way to the back of his hand, and his elbow. If you were to have this Gauntlet equipped with a special metal dagger, it may be more effective than a small dagger. When Tatsumi thought of it this way, he concentrated the magic power towards his right hand.
It was as if it was responding to Tatsumi’s magical power, actually there was no doubt it was responding to Tatsumi’s magical power.
“………… Amaryllis”? In response to its name being murmured, the chain that was wrapped around Tatsumi’s right hand instantly responded. It was as if the buds were blossoming.
The chains float as they slowly wrapped around Tatsumi’s hand, while harboring a golden light of the magic power that Tatsumi poured.
Suddenly, information on Amaryllis flowed into Tatsumi’s mind. “…And why haven’t you awakened me completely? Do You not have enough magic?”
When Tatsumi first awakened Amaryllis, the winding chain naturally reacted to the Magic used during the transition.
However, in order to fully awaken the legacy of the great Mages, the power of magic Tatsumi had used was insufficient Therefore, the only information that flowed into Tatsumi was the inscription of this heritage. If Tatsumi had poured a little more magical energy into Amaryllis, it might have been awakened completely.
Finally Tatsumi poures a large amount of magical energy into Amaryllis in order for it to activate.
“I see …it’s a fuse, isn’t it?”, thought Tatsumi, based on close inspection of the Amaryllis. Based on that, Tatsumi finally understood perfectly how to use this pretty weapon.
Tatsumi slowly reduced the speed of his flight as It was no longer necessary for him to fly around at high speed. Especially now that he has a strong partner called Amaryllis.
“All right, let’s go, Amaryllis. This is our first match together.“ said Tatsumi, who completely reduced his speed to zero. While firmly looking at the flying dragon.
The golden chain, which slowly wrapped itself around him, directed its weight towards its tip ready to pounce on the flying dragon in accordance with Tatsumi’s will.
The Dragon flew straight towards Tatsumi with the belive that Tatsumi was dead.
With a giant dragon looming toward him, Tatsumi didn’t try to escape nor did he try to avoid it.
There’s only one thing he did. He lifted his right hand towards the dragon flying towards him.
By pouring magic into the golden chain, it moves according to Tatsumi’s will, just like a limb would. The golden chain that follows the will of its owner spiked in the air, ready to eliminate the enemy.
The tip of the chain appeared from under the belly of the flying dragon, and penetrated through the outer shell of the dragon.
It is impossible to have the same outcome with Tatsumi’s, ‘instant transition’, but that was clearly not the case with Amaryllis.
However, this was not the end!
Tatsumi drifted the magic power further planing to explode the power in the body of the Hiraya*.
The hard shell of the dragon had the strength to withstand even Tatsumi’s magic attack. However, an explosion of magic directly into the insides of the body, was something completely different.
A painful roar echoes from the mouth of the dragon yet again.
It looked like a regular thin golden chain extending from Tatsumi’s right hand. In fact, the length was only about 7-８ meters long. But with it being combined with the ‘instant transition’, it became a fearsome arrowhead boasting infinite range.
Also, the chain was made of Vermillion gold, aiding the flow of the magical power.
The golden chain, once released from Tatsumi’s hands will be a fuse that will extend far beyond space, and it will surely destroy the target at Tatsumi’s will.
※Due to some circumstances, I changed the shape of the “Amaryllis” (laughs).
