Chapter 39 - 39: Mr. Sanguinius, but it's just Sanguinius for beautiful women like you

"What?!"

Surprisingly, the dragon was able to perfectly display a shocked expression at the audacious words of the young girl before him.

"Why are you stunned?" declared Mittelt, without an ounce of fear or stress.

Yet, she was still thinking to find a solution just a minute ago.

"Insolent!!!!" Without hesitation, the dragon spat a breath of flames toward Mittelt.

This attack destroyed everything in its path to reach its target.

Bam

Mittelt didn't face the attack head-on, but she struck the ground with a punch reinforced by Touki.

The incandescent flames generated by the dragon missed her, as she sank into the crevasse created by her fist.

The creature's attack created a burning scar in the infernal forest, before hitting a hill and exploding.

The explosion created a shockwave that made the hot air of the forest tremble.

Despite this disturbing spectacle, Mittelt kept her calm.

She was already used to observing this power of pure destruction, and it was also the cause of the pitiful state of her clothes.

Her confident smile didn't fade, on the contrary.

It strengthened.

"If they've marked the fruits I took, then I can't flee normally."

Sanguinius had already explained to her the importance of strength in combat, but he had recently added something during the week before their separation.

"Enormous amount of mana? Superior physical strength? Disadvantageous element? Unfavorable environment? So what, Mittelt... are you gonna accept dying because of unfairness? Haha."

After mocking her, who had complained about Sanguinius's wing number advantage, he gave her advice that pushed the young woman to laugh in front of the dragon.

"Your opponent is stronger overall? Then use cunning. And if he's also more cunning? Then play dumb to lower his guard. Trust me, people always lower their guard when it's too easy," he said, laughing with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

"And if it's a perfect natural genius, overall much stronger? Use your environment... There's always a hidden element around the corner."

She was in the last case.

Her opponent was a red dragon, who was clearly much older than her.

Apart from experience, he possessed more magic and superior physical strength.

"Not to mention the racial abilities of dragons, which he hasn't fully displayed yet aside from breath."

And the worst part?

This oversized lizard wasn't the only one chasing her!!

Despite all these factors, Mittelt was confident in her escape... no, she was even considering a potential death of the dragon.

Bam

As the dragon charged another breath, it received a powerful blow to the head, which deflected its trajectory.

The immense body of the creature was even lifted off the ground because of the impact, which was reinforced by the flight speed of Mittelt's wings and her Touki!!

"Hey!! Lizard face!"

After a small landing, she looked toward the dragon, sporting some light injuries and damaged scales.

No lost fangs, which testified to crazy resistance.

"Vermin, I'm gonna incinerate you no!!!... that's too nice"

The dragon's eyes gleamed with a dangerous reddish glow as it let out a howl of anger.

"I'm gonna tear you apart while making an effort to keep you alive and give the rest to the goblins!!!"

A frightening declaration that slightly made Mittelt's raised lips tremble.

Yet, she had to continue provoking the monster and force it to deploy its strength without control.

Finally, Mittelt felt an unpleasant and familiar energy for a former angel.

"You see... I doubt it~"

Barely had Mittelt finished her words when a large quantity of magic spheres began raining down on the red dragon.

'There, I exploited my environment.'

Yes, Mittelt had drawn the devils from the Gremory clan into her private problems.

The location where the fruit desired by Azazel grew was extremely close to the Gremory clan's territory, but it was in the devils' sphere of influence.

The dragon apple was an important element for the survival of certain dragons, but it was hard to find outside of "Dragon Mountain."

Especially at this time, when the surface was recovering from the flood.

Thus, the dragons had "borrowed" the place without the devils' agreement at that time.

Now, imagine if several irritated dragons penetrated deeper into the devils' territory?

Especially if it was on an important clan's territory?

"Hahaha, they often say that old age is the mother of wisdom, but that seems invalid for lizard brains!" she yelled toward the dragon, without paying attention to the devils.

The latter couldn't back down anymore.

They had already engaged a high-ranking dragon preemptively. Thus, attacking another intruder was out of the question.

Without looking back, Mittelt flew away at her maximum speed.

"Miserable insect... coward..."

No matter the dragon's insults, the fallen angel didn't look back.

She couldn't waste time, as she couldn't afford to face another monster this frightening.

"This isn't a flight... It's just a temporary retreat."

She consoled herself, ignoring the dragon's insults.

Bam

When Mittelt left the territory under the devils' influence, she felt an immense magical power coming from the red dragon's location.

"How dare you, wretch!!! I am the servant of the mighty King Tannin !!"

The dragon's furious voice reached the place where Mittelt was.

'I've already traveled kilometers... But this guy'

Mittelt thought she had become strong, but this mission opened her eyes to her shortcomings.

Without that casual conversation with Sanguinius that day, she would surely be...

"I need to stop overthinking, there's more important stuff now."

Indeed, she had to return to Grigori immediately.

There might soon be political problems between the two factions now, but accomplishing the mission should spare her from minor problems with the devils.

However, she stopped her flight once again because of a new aura facing the dragon's.

Another aura embodying pure destruction, but also reeking of devil.

Mittelt didn't know the details about the Baal clan's power or its political relations with other clans like Gremory, but she hadn't planned for another monster's intervention.

At first, the high-ranking dragon possessed a high clan strength according to demonic standards.

However, Mittelt noticed an anomaly since her departure about the lizard.

Its power had increased absurdly!!

The only explanation for such a phenomenon was the use of the ability called Outrage.

Despite this, it still didn't reach the same level as this devil's aura.

"I don't know who this guy is... but I better avoid attracting his attention."

After all, if the devils quickly finished with the dragon, she would certainly be next.

...

"you mentioned being extremely close to Megumin, right?" declared a middle-aged man, observing the strange blond in front of him without hiding his hostility.

"Indeed sir, but where are my manners."

Without waiting for the man sitting across from him to respond, Sanguinius's clone began rummaging through his dimensional pocket.

Visually, his act was perceived as him searching for an object in his wide sleeves, which were a type of standard mage clothing.

Finally, he pulled out a carefully wrapped box.

It contained a gift and a bit of money, because Sanguinius knew Megumin's family's delicate financial situation.

The man's hostile and cold face changed to a friendlier one.

"Happy to see that my daughter found herself a good friend, haha."

As he smiled amicably, his arms moved at inhuman speed toward the box and money offered by Sanguinius.

However, he couldn't catch it.

"Sorry for my husband's subsequent impoliteness, he doesn't really know proper etiquette, Mr. ???"

A beautiful woman with a traditional atmosphere, who resembled Megumin, caught the box and money in her hands.

"Mr. Sanguinius, but it's just Sanguinius for beautiful women like you," he said in a suggestive tone.

Of course, the playboy mode original to the body and the Acting skill were activated at that instant, much to Megumin's father's misfortune.
