So-called "Magic Immunity" meant that anything related to magical power attributes would lose its effect as long as it acted on Yoru Machi, aside from his own power.
Whether it was buffing or debuffing magic, none of it could affect Yoru Machi, including abilities such as curses.
At first glance, this cheat-like power seemed like a double-edged sword, but upon closer thought, one would realize that this ability's potential ceiling was actually quite high.
In a New World of Swords and Sorcery, Yoru Machi's "Magic Immunity" practically meant that whether his opponent was a Demon King or some so-called god, if they wanted to kill him, they could only fight him in close combat.
The enemy's magic could not affect Yoru Machi, yet Yoru Machi's magic could kill them. And if they could only hurt him through physical attacks, then how many people in this world could defeat him in Zanpakuto, Kidō, Hoho, and Hakuda?
Thanks to Magic Immunity, Yoru Machi, who was practically bathing in the Demon Flame Dragon's Blazing Breath, remained completely unharmed after enduring the flames. He split the pillar of fire in two and charged straight at the Demon Flame Dragon's head with a Shunkō-powered punch.
"Boom——!"
Yoru Machi's Shunkō punch, carrying immense fist pressure, slammed into the Demon Flame Dragon's hard scales. A powerful circular shockwave instantly formed before its scales.
The Demon Flame Dragon was nearly fifty meters long, and its head alone was several meters in size. Yet after taking Yoru Machi's punch, its enormous head was knocked crooked at an absurd angle. Then, as the tremendous impact spread through its entire body, a scene that left Cui, watching from nearby, utterly dumbfounded unfolded the next second.
Shunkō attacks dealt two stages of damage. Strictly speaking, the first stage was Yoru Machi's own physical strength, the force that had knocked the Demon Flame Dragon's head aside with a single punch.
However, when Yoru Machi's fist struck the Demon Flame Dragon's head, the impact from the Shunkō formed by combining Kidō and Hakuda truly erupted within the dragon's body.
The tremendous impact acted directly upon the Demon Flame Dragon's massive body, creating an even larger circular shockwave behind it. The next second, amid flying dragon scales, the Demon Flame Dragon's enormous body was blasted away with a deafening boom!
That was right—it had been punched flying. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Cui truly would not have believed that something so outrageous could happen in this world.
Dragons stood at the top of the food chain, renowned for their massive bodies and immense strength. Whether in magical power or natural defenses, they stood at the peak of the pyramid among all races on the continent.
Yet the scene unfolding before the Elf Maiden utterly shattered Cui's previous worldview and understanding.
A Legendary Great Dragon, the Demon Flame Dragon, which exceeded fifty meters in size and ranked among the strongest even among dragons, had actually been punched flying by a human!
No, Cui felt that she needed to put quotation marks around whether Yoru Machi was still purely "human."
Because in all her life, she had truly never seen such an outrageous human! If she had not seen wrong just now, Yoru Machi had first split apart the Demon Flame Dragon's Blazing Breath, then knocked it flying with a single punch!
In truth, it was not just the Elf Maiden Cui. Even the Demon Flame Dragon that had taken Yoru Machi's punch had never imagined that it would end up like this.
The Demon Flame Dragon had fought Yoru Machi before in its lair. In its view, Yoru Machi had only been able to contend with it because of the God of Frost Sword, which restrained it, and his impressive swordsmanship.
Just now, the Demon Flame Dragon had seen Yoru Machi hand the God of Frost Sword to the Elf Maiden over there. That was why it had made such a choice, preparing to burn Yoru Machi to ashes at the cost of one eye.
In its view, without the God of Frost Sword's icy power protecting him, a mere human like Yoru Machi could not possibly withstand its Blazing Breath.
But what was the result...? Even after enduring its flames head-on, Yoru Machi was completely unharmed, while it had been punched flying by an existence as tiny as an ant!
The Demon Flame Dragon, knocked flying by a single punch, was sent hurtling backward through the air for several thousand meters before it finally crashed uncontrollably into the rock wall of the volcanic crater and fell into the scorching lava.
Seeing this, Shimada Yousuke and Cui returned to Yoru Machi's side. Cui looked at the God of Frost Sword radiating cold air in her hand and suddenly felt that this thing seemed rather unnecessary.
Legend was legend—the God of Frost Sword truly possessed the power to restrain and seal the Demon Flame Dragon. Yet for the two terrifying humans before her, whether they had the God of Frost Sword or not did not seem all that important in their campaign against the Demon Flame Dragon.
"Damn it, if it fell into the lava, doesn't that mean we won't get anything out of it at all!
"This Demon Flame Dragon is much bigger than the Poisonous Demon Dragon from before. Even if we sold it as pork, it would fetch quite a bit more money!"
Looking at the scorching lava continuously bubbling within the crater, Yoru Machi wore a pained expression.
Thanks to the experience with the Poisonous Demon Dragon, Yoru Machi now knew that the materials on a dragon's body were all valuable.
Not to mention that he had now learned the Elf Royal's Storage Secret Technique—even if he did not know Storage Magic, he would have dragged the Demon Flame Dragon's corpse back.
But now that he had punched the Demon Flame Dragon into the lava, there was truly nothing he could do about it.
His Magic Immunity could only neutralize techniques or magic formed from magical power. Natural forces such as lava clearly did not fall within the scope of his immunity.
"This time, we really got screwed over. Not only did we fail to get even a single material from the Demon Flame Dragon, but if we don't bring back at least some scraps to the Adventurer's Guild, how are we supposed to prove that we defeated this thing?
"And just to be safe, I even wasted a whole bag of silver coins borrowing that so-called God of Frost Sword. In the end, this thing was completely useless.
"Those villagers were talking up the Demon Flame Dragon like it was the greatest thing ever—some Legendary Great Dragon, the strongest creature on land, and all that. I thought it would be incredible, but it was nothing special after all."
Hearing Yoru Machi complain about his bag of silver coins, the Elf Maiden beside him was at a loss for words.
Was the Demon Flame Dragon not strong? Was the God of Frost Sword useless? That was only relative. At the very least, Cui felt that without the God of Frost Sword, she would not even have been able to stand before the Demon Flame Dragon.
It was not because she was too weak, nor because the Demon Flame Dragon was too weak to live up to its legend. It was because the two humans beside her were simply monsters in human form!
