That was right. A wall of flames with power comparable to a human forbidden spell had been blasted apart by the suddenly appearing figure with a single bare-handed punch.

Watching the scattered sparks fall like specks of fire, the elf maiden Cui stared at the figure before her, feeling almost dazzled.

"Cui, take the God of Frost Sword. This sword can unleash incredibly powerful ice-element attacks directly. It should have no problem defending against that guy's flames."

After releasing the lovely figure in his arms, Yoru Machi shoved the God of Frost Sword straight into the still-dazed Cui's hands. Only when the girl came to her senses did she ask, "If you give me the God of Frost Sword, what will you do?"

Cui knew that Yoru Machi possessed extraordinary swordsmanship. Compared to his skill, her own swordsmanship did not even count as second-rate, and Shimada Yousuke was even worse. If not for his immense magic power and the assistance of the elves, his swordsmanship was practically that of a complete amateur.

It was precisely because Yoru Machi had the highest level of swordsmanship that they had unanimously decided earlier to let him wield the God of Frost Sword.

Yoru Machi currently had no suitable weapon. The longsword he had bought before was of ordinary quality and had already been corroded by the Poisonous Demon Dragon's poisonous mist during their battle.

As for the longsword forged from materials taken from the Poisonous Demon Dragon, it was still being crafted and had not been completed before Yoru Machi and the others left Mag Town.

"It's fine. Your swordsmanship is pretty good too. The God of Frost Sword will be just as useful in your hands, and it can protect you as well. As for me... when did I ever say swordsmanship was the only thing I was good at?"

As soon as Yoru Machi finished speaking, he vanished from before Cui once more. When he reappeared, he had used Shunpo to arrive directly before the Demon Flame Dragon's head.

On the other side, protected by the ice elves, Shimada Yousuke had only suffered a few burns. He now gripped the Sword of Light and thrust it toward the Demon Flame Dragon's eye!

Seeing a human and a half-beastman attacking from both sides, the Demon Flame Dragon let out an enraged roar.

At Yoru Machi and Shimada Yousuke's current distance, even if the Demon Flame Dragon wanted to use its ultimate move as it had just done, it did not have enough time to gather magic power.

Faced with Yoru Machi and Shimada Yousuke's pincer attack, the Demon Flame Dragon only had enough leeway to attack one of them.

Under normal circumstances, Shimada Yousuke, wielding the Sword of Light, should have posed a far greater threat than the bare-handed Yoru Machi from every perspective.

Yet what Cui could not understand was that, with only one choice available, the Demon Flame Dragon raised its head and directed a mouthful of Blazing Dragon Breath at Yoru Machi!

The Demon Flame Dragon would rather let Shimada Yousuke blind one of its eyes than kill Yoru Machi first. This made Cui wonder just what Yoru Machi had done to the Demon Flame Dragon inside its nest to make its rage toward him so overwhelming.

Why had the Demon Flame Dragon locked all its hatred onto Yoru Machi? Wasn't that fucking obvious? Imagine sleeping soundly, only to suddenly have a massive ice spike shoved into your ass. What kind of feeling would that be!

The Demon Flame Dragon had originally been having a wonderful dream, discussing dragon life with a group of little female dragons. Who knew that an ice dragon even larger than him would suddenly appear in the dream and pin him to the ground with one claw...

When the Demon Flame Dragon woke in agony and saw his bloodied, frozen tail, then looked at Yoru Machi beside him holding the God of Frost Sword, how could he not understand what had happened?

He was a mighty dragon, and even among dragonkind, he was a dragon of considerable standing. If other dragons found out about this, how was he supposed to show his face again?

Without a doubt, after feeling that his dignity had been trampled upon, the Demon Flame Dragon naturally launched a fierce assault on Yoru Machi.

However, the Demon Flame Dragon quickly discovered in surprise that the human before him was quite formidable. Moreover, with the God of Frost Sword that countered him in hand, not only could he do nothing to his opponent in a short time, he was even left covered in wounds by Yoru Machi's slashes.

Feeling that the dragon nest was too cramped and unsuitable for him to fight freely, the Demon Flame Dragon could only flap his wings and abandon Yoru Machi, intending to lure him outside to the volcanic crater where he held the advantage. Who would have thought that these cunning humans had laid an ambush at the entrance as well, resulting in what had just happened?

Having been schemed against again and again, combined with the grudge over what had happened to his ass earlier, it was hardly strange for the Demon Flame Dragon to lock all its hatred onto Yoru Machi.

Thus, after enduring Shimada Yousuke's Sword of Light and allowing one of his eyes to be pierced blind, the Demon Flame Dragon spewed a furious mouthful of Blazing Dragon Breath at Yoru Machi.

The terrifying dragon breath formed a massive Flame Pillar that shot into the sky, completely swallowing Yoru Machi's figure in an instant.

"Shunkō!"

Yet when faced with the Blazing Dragon Breath spewed at him by the Demon Flame Dragon, Yoru Machi, who was charging straight at it, did not stop to use Kidō for defense.

Instead, as explosive currents burst forth from his body, the clothes across his back and shoulders were shredded by the violent airflow. At that instant, Yoru Machi's already incredible speed became even faster!

Shunkō was a special combat technique originally used by Shihoin Yoruichi, captain of the Onmitsukidō Second Division. Whether she had developed it herself or whether it was a secret art of the Second Division, Yoru Machi did not know.

But as a transmigrator, Yoru Machi understood the principles behind this move. Naturally, there was no way he would fail to learn such a powerful technique.

Shunkō was a combat technique that fused Hakuda and Kidō. Put simply, it allowed one to forgo incantations and unleash the power of Kidō through Hakuda.

And when combined with powerful Shunpo, Shunkō was practically the standard setup for high attack and low defense.

Although Shunkō possessed tremendous offensive power, it had no defensive capability. It was a move that completely abandoned defense and maximized speed and attack.

Yet against the Demon Flame Dragon's Blazing Breath, the best possible outcome for Yoru Machi using Shunkō should originally have been mutual destruction with the Demon Flame Dragon.

But the instant the Demon Flame Dragon's Blazing Breath struck Yoru Machi's body, a thin, rainbow-colored film suddenly appeared over the surface of his body.

When the Demon Flame Dragon's flames completely engulfed Yoru Machi, he was utterly unharmed. Those raging flames that could melt rock into magma in an instant were blocked the moment they touched the rainbow-colored film around him.

That was right. This was not a power Yoru Machi originally possessed, but the cheat ability he had obtained after coming to this otherworld by making a wish to the Otherworld GodMagic Immunity!

At first glance, this cheat ability might seem rather unremarkable. But when considered in practical terms, it was truly absurdly powerful.

Magic Immunity meant that any technique powered by magic was completely ineffective against Yoru Machi!
