CH 27 Breaking it Out Once More

It's been a week since I've awaken.

"Almost level forty...", I sighed. "I don't remember Frostbite being so strict about levels being over twenty..."

The DKO tournament was coming closer and closer, day by day. Two more weeks and everything will start, the battle for freedom of this world.

DKO tournaments having even stricter rules than the one in Frostbite now. The requirement for entry are; levels to be 60 or over, must have at least three dragons killed by one's self or in a guild together, and we must have a tooth from each troll above the town of Sylite, the town of love.

"..."

Love... I wonder...

Zai is with Kumari in Fairy Forest and currently the other Vulture members are scouting in search for food and a check up on Frostbite, to see if any rules changed. Hopefully not...

I found myself near a river. I walked up to it, sat down on a rock, and splashed some of it's water in my face to re-freshen myself. Then I noticed a message in the guild messenger.

Drogo: "Urrrggghhhhhh!!! ◡ ヽ('Д')ﾉ ┻━┻"

Ruka: "What's up? (･_･;)"

Drogo: "Oh! I don't know! The sky! The friggen blue sky!! ◡ ヽ('Д')ﾉ ┻━┻"

Ruka: "... So cliche...>_<..."

Drogo: "Duh!!"

Mazi: "Frostbite is being even more stricter."

Ruka: "What do they demand this time?"

Ricky: "They want us to have the trolls' teeth! Plus a one town dragon murdered in our history! (￣Д￣)ﾉ"

Ruka: "Seriously... (￣^￣)ゞ"

Pollie: "Slayer-sama!! Where are you?! (^o^)/"

Jean: "Senpai we got some food! o(^▽^)o"

Izzy: "Not some! Lots!! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))"

Ruka: "Great. I'm by a river."

Mazi: "What?"

Ruka: "... I'm by a river..."

Ricky: "Wait! The river where Sylite's dragon lives?!"

Drogo: "Someone might've caught it already since it's an easy catch. |(￣3￣)|"

Pollie: "No! There were no news that the dragon there was captured yet! Plus all the dragons have gained an extra power up of some sort!!"

Just like that, the dragon appeared before me from underwater."

Ruka: "Well... Crap."

Drogo: "Ha? (e_e)"

Ricky: "Was that a typo? Please tell me you were trying to write carp..."

Izzy: "There's carp in this game?"

Mazi: "... I don't think there's even fish in that river..."

The beast roared with all it's might. I pulled out my usual red blade, in ready position. The health bar of the beast was really high, about 60,000 HP.

I ran towards the dragon with all my might, slaying it back and fourth. Then the dragon tried to attack back. I dodged but my sword didn't. My sword got blown out of my hand and flew away to who knows where.

I remembered another sword given to me by Amy. I equipped my dyrnwyn and prepared it for battle. The blade burned in flames and the beast fears it. Animals are afraid of fire after all!

"Senpai!!", Jean gasped out of nowhere. "Ah! Onee-chan!!" "Slayer-sama!" Both girls shouted and awed at the blue and purple dragon.

"What are you doing?! Don't just stand there! RUN!!", I shouted and the children ran away from the scene.

I gave my attention the dragon once more and it swung it's tail at me. I gracefully dodged it and sliced it's tail. The tail came off the dragon and it roared in pain, but the tail eventually grew back.

"Damn.", I cursed.

"Teddy grenade in the hole!!!", Pollie shouted from afar and I immediately dashed for cover.

"Senpai! We're here to help!!", Jean declared. "Even if we are scared to death!!", Izzy screamed. "So, don't you worry Slayer-sama!!", Pollie said.

"The youth are here to help the all mighty Slayer!!", the three said in unison. I was dumbfounded by their declaration and smirked, "Thank you! Now let's go capture this dragon!!"

"Ha?! Wa-wait!! Capture?!", Izzy panicked.

"Yes!! Let's do this!!", Pollie cheered and started rummaging through her bag, packed with bombs loaded.

Jean pulled out his white long sword and stood next to me. "Ready when you are senpai!"

The dragon roared with all it's might and breath out blue flames from it's mouth. We were all ready and as a signal to start Pollie threw a teddy bomb at it. "Charge!!"

Izzy aim for it's legs, Pollie threw bombs from a distance, Jean and I were heading towards the dragon's head. He took the left and I took the right. We blinded the dragon's sight and aimed for it's brain.

The dragon fell but did not gave up yet. The dragon used it's tail to attack the girls. I quickly jumped towards Izzy's spot, Pollie was in the nearby forest which didn't come in contact with the tail. I blocked the tail from hitting Izzy and Jean grabbed Izzy and took her somewhere safe.

Then the tail suddenly grabbed me like a snake would do for a predator. I dropped my sword from it's sudden grip and the rough tail wrapped itself around me tighter and tighter, sealing my air supply.

The dragon blew blue flames from its mouth and formed a circle around us, from keeping the others from interfering.

I could hear the other's cries but they couldn't do anything since the flames were too high and thick to cross.

The dragon glared at me with it's yellow and black pupil as it tightens it's grip.

I've got no chose but to use the one move where it got me popular in this world. "Fast break." Bright yellow and red flashed in my pupils. I equipped my parazonium dagger ans spun out of the dragon's grip, slicing his tail along the way. I was free and sped up the dragon's back and sliced everywhere on it's body.

The dragon cried in pain and furry. I found my two swords scattered in the forest. My red long sword was stuck in a tall tree and the dyrnwyn was in the opposite direction, in other words it's behind the dragon.

I sprinted towards my red log sword while putting my dagger back into it's inventory. I climbed the tree with all my might and popped out of the tree top with the sword in hand. The dragon blew it's flames at me, and I barrel rolled through the flames and slid down it's rough back to catch my dyrnwyn.

I now had both blades in each hand and my eyes glowed once more but even brighter than before.

Using the two blades at hand I sliced my way to the dragon.

After thirty seconds the dragon fell and I landed on my two feet and sat on my gluteus maximus in exhaustion. The blue flames that formed a circle calmed down and the three followed there way in.

"Senpai!! That was amazing!!", Jean hollered. "Onee-chan are you okay?!", Izzy asked me in concern as she sat down beside me. "So, that's the famous 'fast break'...", Pollie said in awe. Then out of no where Mazi, Ricky, and Drogo came calling my name as usual as everyone else around here seem to...

"The dragon...", Mazi stated the obvious. "Wah! Now we just need the trolls' teeth!!", Ricky exclaimed. "You're quite excited to get the trolls' teeth...", Drogo commentated. "Duh! Then we can finally enter Frostbite and not to mention a step closer in entering the DKO tournament!", Ricky hollered.

Weary I sighed, "Just one thing left to do." I stood on my two feet and took a stroll towards the blue and purple dragon. I placed my hand against it's forehead and requested, "I name you Hiroto, you shall come with me or perish in defeat, which do you chose?" A bright glowed emerged from the dragon in acceptance.
