Momon and Khajiit were standing at a straight line against each other. The Skeletal Dragon in the middle would act as his shield.

If using a piercing magic like <Lightning>, with the Skeletal Dragon’s absolute resistance against magic, could have easily blocked it. The area of effect magic <Fireball> would be useless based on the defensive magic that Khajiit used earlier.

Then what about spiritual magic, if he could get past its resistance and get a magic in—

<—Charm Person>

<—Mind of Undeath>

Momon and Khajiit simultaneously cast magic. Momon used a charm magic. And Khajiit used a spirit canceling magic.

The result—Khajiit had a winning smile. Momon clicked his tongue.

He was probably pissed by Khajiit’s smile. A shadow passed by Momon’s face.

A white figure filled Momon’s vision.

—Evading was difficult.

Suddenly, Momon made a decision, with the tip of the sword place on his shoulders, he stood while using the blade as a shield. As the blade touched his shoulders, a numbing force spread out, Momon’s tall figure flew into the air.

He was blown away by the Skeletal Dragon’s tail attack that was aimed at his face.

“To, ttotto.”

While maintaining an excellent posture without losing his balance, Momon stepped into the ground to endure it.

While it was a good chance, the Skeletal Dragon did not attack. It was as it was protecting Khajiit and could not leave him. While watching the Skeletal Dragon, Momon’s hand shook, as if to shake off paralysis.

This time, a shadow appeared from the back of the Skeletal Dragon—

<—Acid Javelin>

<—Lightning>

The green javelin that flew out from Khajiit’s direction directly hit Momon. The javelin had the ability to cause corrosive damage. However, the magic was dispelled centimeters away from touching Momon’s armor. At the same time, Momon’s lightning was blocked by the Skeletal Dragon standing at the front, completely negating it.

Khajiit and Momon both clicked their tongues.

“Did you cast defense magic.”

“Can you come out and not hide behind it?”

“Why, must I do it?”

“The one that will suffer from a drawn out battle is you though?”

“...”

Momon hit the mark and Khajiit stared sharply at Momon. In contrast, Momon calmly laughed.

“...It can’t be helped.”

As if he decided something, Khajiit again clutched the weird ball. He then raised it to the sky.

“Then listen! Did you think there would be only one! Watch! The power of the pearl of death!”

Momon’s body shook. It was the proof that, once again, the ground was shaking.historical

The earth once again split, and the figure of a dragon made of countless bones appeared.

“...A second.”

“Hmph, it is a pity that I have to use the result of a half of years worth of labor intensive large scale ceremony. But if I can kill you, and proceed to spread death all over the city. At least I can recoup the used energy.”

At Momon’s unmoved appearance, Khajiit raised a cry of anger, bafflement and other stuff, and mixed it with a cry of victory.

“Hyu.”

With sharp breathes, Momon ran. He ran with a speed that normal people would find absurd. He ignored the look of shock on Khajiit’s face.

The Skeletal Dragon tried to hit Momon with its front leg when it entered his range.

Momon bent his body, and aimed a blow at the Skeletal Dragon on the right. However, the Skeletal Dragon on the left was waiting and sent a tail whip close to the ground.

Momon jumped backwards. Before him, the air trembled as the sound of a giant tail swept through. Suddenly, it changed its movements, and jumped upwards. It was heading towards the retreating Momon.

Momon evaded left to avoid the hit that could shake the earth, but the Skeletal Dragon stopped and hit him with its foot.

“Gu!”

He stopped the forceful foot with his sword. It was using all of its weight, but Momon normally received it, and was instead pushing back. The attacking Skeletal Dragon took a step back, and a blank space was born in the battlefield.

“...What are you? Defending without martial arts...How did you get such a strong body!”

“I trained normally.”

“Are you taking me for an idiot!”

“You snap easily. You make a great pair with that woman...I’m sort of angry.”

Momon stared at Khajiit with animosity. Khajiit felt a chill, and took a step back from the gaze.

“Do it! Skeletal Dragon!”

Once again, the two Skeletal Dragons kept close to Khajiit and attacked Momon.

Avoiding the attacks of the Skeletal Dragon, and about to step in, but due to the attack from another one, he lost that chance. That battle repeated onwards. While it was possible for that battle to continue until the sun rose, a decisive factor occurred.

<Acid Javelin>

Momon unconsciously tried to avoid the magic spear that was thrown at his face.

It was quite a blunder. If it hit, it would have no effect. However, he avoided a projectile shot at his face on reflex. This had no direct damage, but as a spellcaster it was a blunder.

The result of the miss was huge.

Momon’s vision sharply changed with a slap. It suddenly turned.

He tasted weightlessness for a second. Then he hit the ground. He received a blow from the Skeletal Dragon’s tail from his left side. Rolling, he could not tell how he was doing.

He rolled multiple times.

Momon finally stopped rolling and as he was protected by multiple protection magic, he felt no pain. However, the two Skeletal Dragons in front of him raised their front feet.

A desperate situation. If thought normally.

“If you beg I might save you?”

Khajiit held confidence of victory, and waited for Momon’s reply with a sadistic smile.

Of course, even if he begged, he had no intention of saving the one who wasted six months worth of congregated power. However, after he begged, he wanted to see what expression Momon would have before he died. It could not be helped that Khajiit was excited.

Momon’s raised top half changed to an expression of fury.

“...ikes...mans...ash.”

“...What?”

As Momon was too far away, his voice did not carry. As the graveyard was dead silent, he could faintly hear it.

Momon glared at Khajiit. It was an extremely unhappy expression. While he should be looking down on him, it felt like he was being looked down upon.

This time Khajiit could hear. It was—

“The likes of humans should not open their mouths, trash.”

“—What?”

The likes of humans.

Khajiit was thrown into confusion by Momon talking as if he was not human, but he decided that he could not take things easily, and gave out orders.

“Destroy, Skeletal Dragon!”

While two feet moved, Momon laughed in amazement.

“...Anyway...Did you think you could win?”

The Skeletal Dragon’s bone leg was about to step on the sprawled Momon. But there was a moment’s pause, and Momon activated his magic.

<Teleportation>

Momon’s sight instantly shifted.

Momon had moved 500 metres above the ground.

Of course, without wings Momon plummeted to the ground. Without air resistance, he would take about ten seconds to hit the ground.

In the world of darkness where one could not tell up from down, a strong wind blew. If a normal person was there, they would be trapped with fear, but Momon calmly laughed.

<—Fly>

His fall slowed down, and he came to a stop mid air. If he looked down it would be the earlier battle. Khajiit and the two Skeletal Dragons. They were surprised at the fact that Momon disappeared, and they looked wildly at the surroundings.

Momon looked at the graveyard and its surroundings. He looked for humans other than Khajiit, but he could not confirm. However, there was no such thing as being too careful.

<Detect Life>

From the magic, he knew all of the life in the vicinity. As a result, he confirmed that there were no large life forms like humans nearby. Then—

“...Should I stop being Momon, and return to being Narberal.”
