Chapter 06: The Introvert Takes on the Dragon (With Comment Reponses)

Yukiria: Ahhhhhhhhh!

Barufu: Run! Run away, quickly!!

Mirai: M-Miru-chan!!

Ristoria: Its biggest weakness is the charging time before it attacks! Seize the opportunity and run!

Muva: Please, please, please, please! Someone save Miru-chan!

God of Destruction: Eh, seriously? Is she gonna die?

Yukiria: No good, she can’t hear our advice!!

Gasu: Is it really stronger than Kawasaki’s Party…

Ristoria: The difference in skill is clear. If only I could go and help…!

Barufu: Someone, anyone! Someone save Miru-chan! Otherwise…!!

Mirai: Huh?

Faido: Hmm?

Ruisu: Did someone come?

Yukiria: The boy from earlier!!

Muva: Kirishima-kun has come to help!!

God of Destruction: Nah, there’s no way he can help just by showing up, lol.

Distoria: Young man! We’re entrusting Miru-chan to you! Right now, you are our savior! My strong umbrella… you’re holding it now!

Mirai: Shut up, God of Destruction! Can’t you even cheer properly!

Ristoria: Wait. By Kirishima, do you mean that person’s child…?

Barufu: I don’t care who! Just please save our Miru-chan!

It was exactly as I had thought.

Miru was in a dire situation.

Not only was she just sitting down in front of an emergency monster, but her essential weapon—her sword—had somehow been dropped during the battle and now lay far away.

And then.

“ROOOOOOAAAAAR!”

The monster facing her was terrifying to behold.

If one had to describe it in a single phrase, it would be a “giant red dragon.” It had wings coated in an ominous black hue, a tail that slithered and wriggled violently, and scales so sharp that they seemed like they would cut upon touch.

This was indeed— the Red Dragon Gilgarias.

The forum listed it as an A-rank monster, but this wasn’t just any specimen; it was an emergency monster. That could classify it as S-rank, or perhaps even beyond that. Even if Team Kawasaki couldn’t defeat it, that wouldn’t be surprising.

“GRRRRRAAAAA!”

And now, that very red dragon was poised to swipe its ferocious claws at Miru.

As for Miru, she showed no signs of moving, trapped as she was in her panic.

At this rate—she would be torn apart by its sharp claws. That much was clearer than seeing fire.

“Kuooooooo!”

I let out a scream and grabbed the sword hanging at my waist with my right hand.

Even if my main objective was just to gather herbs, one could never know what kind of danger might lurk. That’s why I always carried a sword for self-defense.

CLANG!

My sword clashed with the red dragon’s claw, creating an ear-piercing noise that resonated throughout the area.

“Ughhh…!!”

Not good.

I had managed to block it, but the sheer force behind the attack was too much for me.

If this continues, I’ll be pushed back—

Due to your combat experience, new “Ignore Rules” have been added.

*Ignore Herb Respawn Time Limit*

★Ignore Opponent’s Attack Power★

“…What?”

I was completely taken aback by the mysterious text that suddenly appeared in my vision.

Ignore attack power?

I had no idea why this text had appeared, but desperate times call for desperate measures. If things continue like this, not only me but even Miru, who was cowering behind me, would die.

—Activate Skill! Ignore Attack Power!—

The moment I chanted this in my mind… something changed.

The overpowering force from the red dragon that had been pushing me back was no longer palpable. It was as if I were being pushed by an infant; I hardly felt any strength against me now.

Is this what it means to ignore attack power?

“Ooooooooo!”

Screaming, I swung my sword in a frenzy.

“GUOOOOOOOOOOAA!!”

Then, to my astonishment, the red dragon let out a shriek and was blown backward.

[Postscript]

Thank you for reading! 

This time it’s defense-based, but expect more dangerous “Ignore Rules” to be learned as the story progresses! If you’re even a little bit interested, I’d be happy if you could follow this work.

It only takes a few seconds to do so, and it would be a great encouragement for me! 

Thank you very much!
