Two Resolutions
“It’s settled then! Even if you are a monster, you have a life. If you choose to leave now, that would be good. But if you don’t…”
Enduring the dragon’s strongest attack without a scratch, Kamiya, demonstrating a clear difference in strength, sternly points her finger.
*Grrrrrrrrrr!*
Even after being pointed at, the dragon lets out a roar, still burning with the desire to fight.
“So, you won’t back down. Why do you monsters perceive us as enemies to such an extent? We have no intention of destroying this planet. That’s all in the past, from the ancient war with Coligori, you see.”
Just as humans do, Kamiya mutters almost to herself with a shrug. The artificial intelligence recalls the days of the old and the numerous tragic scenes brought about by the Galactic Empire that created them.
We must never let such a tragedy happen again. It was because of that determination that the previous Masters deliberately sealed ‘Mamiya.’
The current Master, Asuru, has yet to determine how to use the awakened ‘Mamiya.’ But if he intends to steer it in the wrong direction, no matter what, they will stop him. That was the unanimous decision, including the Mother Computer of ‘Mamiya.’
*Roar!!*
However, such thoughts did not reach the dragon. Not only that, it was opening its mouth again, attempting another breath attack!
“So that’s your answer… Well, no other choice then.”
Even though Mamiya doesn’t possess life, its importance is painfully evident to her. Feeling disappointed, Kamiya lets out a deep sigh from the depths of her heart. Simultaneously, Kamiya raises her head abruptly. If Kamiya were human, her expression would have been resolute…
“I won’t let that happen anymore!”
And Kamiya’s figure… disappeared!
Equipped on her back were wings… Awakening the power capable of interstellar travel, she closes the distance instantly.
There is no concern for air resistance or shockwaves from surpassing the speed of sound. With a grace that resembles a human’s walk, Kamiya closes in on the dragon.
*Rawr!?*
The eyes of the dragon, about to breathe fire, widen in shock. Witnessing that, one can’t help but feel pity. But the call for surrender had already been made. There was no need for further mercy towards what they saw as a threat to humans living now! Kamiya is nothing but a machine to the core!
“Take this!”
A steel knee kick deeply pierces the jaw of the dragon!
“!?”
The dragon lets out an almost voiceless sound and is sent flying into the sky! Flames that were about to be unleashed from its forcibly closed mouth spill out feebly, but at this point, there is no chance to release them.
The dragon’s giant wings, like those of a bat, are useless for controlling its posture. Seemingly devoid of any remaining ability to float, it spins downwards.
Kamiya stops mid-air as if lying down, facing them. A launching port in her abdomen unfolds, releasing cinerama particles filled inside, emitting a pink glow! This is the most powerful gun loaded on Kamiya… Originally designed to crush various space debris encountered during space development.
“Cinerama—Beeeeeam!”
Forcing out a voice with a pitch that would not normally be possible, Kamiya yells out the name of this armament!
At the same time, the peach-colored charged particles are fired from the abdomen and hit the descending dragon directly!
“……”
Even the dying screams are drowned out. The dragon, burned to the last cell by Cinelama particles, vanishes without a trace. In just a few seconds of irradiation, the most powerful monster disappears completely from this world… Only particle beams rise like a pillar of light towering into the sky.
It was a complete, decisive end.
The battle between the red giant and the dragon… Or can we even call this a battle?
The overwhelmingly one-sided development becomes the spectacle for all the creatures in the forest below to witness.
“Amazing!”
“To think they could defeat the dragon single-handedly…!”
“Who is that giant…?”
“Could it be a messenger of the gods?”
“No, it emerged from ‘Mamiya’… Then, it must be under the command of Asuru-dono!”
In the village where the elves in the autonomous zone were barricaded, or hidden in the forest to intercept monsters, the elves point to the sky and shout one after another.
The most powerful monster - the dragon.
Its power was overwhelming, surpassing all the monsters that had appeared this time. And it was easily defeated. This fact involuntarily boosts the morale of the elf soldiers.
*Grrrrr!*
*Graaa!*
*Roarr!*
In contrast, the monsters show a completely different aspect. That dragon was not part of their group. However, it had clearly come all the way from a distant land with a purpose aligned with theirs, intending to wipe out the elves who were attacking with strange weapons and terrifyingly precise coordination.
But that plan fell apart completely. And that wasn’t the only thing…
As they advanced, the powerful individual selected to combine and lead them… The will of the leader sending instructions to the monsters with an unheard voice had suddenly ceased.
The strongest reinforcements were defeated… And the entity supposed to be in command… disappeared without a trace…
At this point, they were truly a disorganized mob. Without any coordination… Facing the high-spirited elves who charged at them with overwhelming numbers, the monsters, who had superiority in numbers, were all slain.
The battle on the ground also came to a conclusion here.
