Chapter 2
"Hail Ainz Ooal Gown" – Normal Speech
Hail Ainz Ooal Gown – Thought
"Hail Ainz Ooal Gown" – Flashback
"Ha… I let her get away. Oh, well."
Saitama decided to let the feisty little girl go. He had had a long day.
Early in the morning he was invited with Genos to Bang's dojo, so that the old man could show him some fancy martial arts. Then he went along with the two S class heroes to a meeting of S class heroes at the Hero Association HQ to be briefed about a potential upcoming God level threat that could wipe out all of humanity. During the meeting, the whole City A where the HQ was situated at got obliterated in a blink of an eye by apparently an alien spaceship.
He docked the spaceship and fought through a horde of aliens until he met their leader, Lord Boros. The alien was the strongest opponent he had ever faced, and during their fight he was kneed in the stomach so hard sending him to the moon.
The bald hero tried to jump back to Earth, but he may have put too much strength behind his legs as the whole moon broke apart when he looked behind his back.
While crying in his head about how much he would have to work to pay for the moon, he failed to notice when the space around him warped, and that the planet in front of him was not the same Earth anymore.
After he landed, he wanted to hurry and head back to City A before the overpowered alien could cause more damage, but he did not know where he was as he was in the middle of a thick forest. And oddly it was nighttime. It was still afternoon when he was sent to the moon, and this bewildered the bald hero who scored only 20/50 on the written exam of the Hero Association examination completely.
So, he leapt up high in the sky to spot any nearby sign of civilization. It was a full moon night, so he could still spot his surrounding fairly well. With his superhuman eyes, he could see two mountain ranges to his West and East, and there was an illuminated city surrounded by multiple rings of fortified wall that he had never seen before in his life North-East from his position.
He decided to head toward the city, so that he could ask about where he was, but on his way, he encountered a group of cosplayers under attack from an ugly humanoid mysterious being. He dashed in a burst of speed to intercept and slapped the monster into a puddle of blood like he did with the Mosquito Girl.
When he was grimacing about some of the splattered blood that stained his suit, the dress of an old lady glowed golden and a serpentine dragon came out of it to wrap around him giving him an intense headache.
Then, a little girl in a crimson valkyrie armor cosplay that he saw somewhere in one of the many manga he read in his free time suddenly appeared behind him out of nowhere and started to rudely yell at him asking who he was.
He chose to let it slide and asked who she was in return. Apparently, she was a case of the 8th grader syndrome. She started spouting random nonsenses as if she was casting magic or something. Then when he was asking if she was lost, she suddenly started attacking him for something about her small chest which he had no clue where that came from and spouted more chuunibyou lines. And surprisingly, she was another psychic like that S class hero brat and did something to launch him away. He wondered if all psychics were spoiled like that.
Then the other cosplayers decided to participate in the roleplay, but she did not play nice and killed some of those people in the process. Saitama swore in his mind that he would find the mean girl's parents and tell them or teach them to teach her some manners, then he cut in to stop her rampage on the other cosplayers. The little girl again sent him barreling on the ground again with another burst of her strange psychic power. When he looked up, she was already gone, and this is where we are at now.
Saitama was giving his body a once-over. The psychic power the cosplaying little girl did on him gave him strange feelings. First of all, it made him feel pain which he had not felt for a long time ever since he became too strong. Secondly, a weird shivering sensation flowed through his entire being giving him the creep.
I should try to find her, so that she can make me experience more pain. Hmph, not in that way…
While he was thinking, one of the cosplayers was walking toward him.
"Saitama-san, thank you for saving us. We are in your debt."
Saitama turned his back to face the person talking toward him.
They must have heard my name from my conversation from the little girl. I hope this will also count toward my daily quota even if she was a civilian…
He was a handsome man with androgynous appearance and black hair like that Seed on the Ground guy. His armor was intricate, and he was holding a spear in his right hand.
"Ohh…? Ahh, don't worry about it. I am a professional hero."
The hero was not really sure of what to say. He was rarely appreciated by anyone. Only Genos, Bang, and that courageous C-calss hero guy which he had already forgotten the name, ever said thank you to him. Some even went on to call him a scam for just trying to help other people. He was not bothered by it because he was doing his hero work as a hobby. But a thank you every now and then always made him smile.
"I was not able to save some of your friends though. Sorry about that."
After having been doing his hero hobby for so long, Saitama understood that he could not save everyone even if he had an overwhelming strength. Many of the huge towering monsters that he fell in the past probably had trampled many innocent people when they crashed to the ground. So, for something beyond his control, he had learned to not fuss over it too much.
"That is alright, Saitama-san. Without you, more of us would probably have perished."
Saitama closed his eyes and dropped his head in condolence. The man nodded in understanding of his gestures and walked back to inspect the body parts of his fallen comrades.
"Man… that was awesome. Without you, I would have been skewed like a pig with that lance. NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
A large muscular and robust man with red hair in a ponytail equipped with a mirror-like tower shield on his left arm and a forearm shield on his right hand as well as plated armor which covered only his chest, walked up to Saitama and slapped his left shoulder with his large right hand.
"No problem, man." Saitama was scratching the back of his left ear in embarrassment and smiling as again another person actually thanked him.
"The name is Cedran by the way, brother. You are the strongest human I have ever met. Nothing on you, Orkhon the Strongest Human."
The shield bearer tease was directed at another burly man who wielded a giant axe who looked very intimidating.
"Grrr…"
"Come on, give him your thanks."
"Mmm, thank you very much, Saitama-san."
But the scary looking man turned out to actually be very soft-spoken.
"You're welcome."
Then more and more people congregated around the B-rank hero to show their gratitude.
"Thank you, Saitama-san. With you on our side, humanity will remain to be strong!" said with a warm voice was a blind blonde female dressed in green and white trim with a pair of small white wings attached to her hood.
"That was very impressive indeed." A brown haired megane dressed in school girl uniform was next.
"A spectacular display of strength." said another blonde who was a tall man with a pair of pink eyes and handsome face with two overgrown lizards right behind him.
"Thank you, boy." and next was the old lady who gave him a headache earlier from her lightshow.
"And sorry about that. You can punish for that later if you want." she apologized and gave him a wink. A shiver went down his spine.
Saitama just nodded back in acknowledgement to each of their gestures of appreciation. Not everyone came to show him gratitude as he looked around with a smile. His gaze struck a mysterious wizard looking dude was observing him with a scowl on his face on the side ling.
"Bah! Don't mind that guy. He somehow has problem with everyone. NYAHAHAHA!" Cedran assured the hero.
Saitama still felt incredible. Again, he did not start doing his hero hobby just for the praises and fame, but maybe this was something that he really needed to get his emotions back.
"Ahh! I forgot! I need to get back to City A as soon as possible. This Lord Bok Choy alien dude might be too strong for the other heroes. You guys should stay away from that area too. Do you guys know where I have to head from here to get there?"
The hero finally remembered that he needed to return to his fight on the alien spaceship. The alien was incredibly strong, and he did not think Bang or Genos as strong as they were could even handle him.
"City A? What an odd name for a city. I'm sorry, but I have never heard of it before. I only go out of the capital when we are on a mission. Do you guys know where it is?" replied the blind blonde girl whose face was sad that she could not assist her savior.
"I have never heard of it before in all my old life, boy." the old lady was the same.
"Neither do I. Orkhon, do you know where that is?" the shield man also did not have the answer, and when he looked around, the same clueless expression could be seen on everyone's face.
"Huh?" Saitama was confused. Everyone on the super-continent lived in A-Z cities. City A was one of the most important one as the Hero Association HQ was located there, so everyone would know where that is. "Then where am I?
"You're in the Great Forest of Tob close to E-Rantel of the Re-Estize Kingdom. You're really lost, brother." Cedran answered his question, but the hero had no clue what the dude was talking about. There were several large forests in K-City, but Saitama never heard of the other names before.
"Kingdom? Stop kidding me, guys… Drop the play. I'm kind of in a hurry. Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"
If he could borrow their phone to use a map app, it would be faster. Or so that's what he thought…
"Phone? What is a phone? Can you eat it?" Saitama was growing a little irritated as he was really in a hurry, but the face of the shield bearer was one of utter confusion, and so was everyone's else around him.
"Wait… you're serious?" the hero observed at the faces of the cosplay group to see if they slipped. But second by second it did not happen, and sweats began slide from his shiny bald head.
"Come on… Do you know the Hero Association? Mysterious Being? Genos the Number 17th rank hero?..." Saitama kept listing out various well-known figure and knowledge in his world, but the people around just kept shaking his head while maintaining their serious expression. If it was a cooperated play effort, it was a very good one.
"Ehhhhh!" very confused, the hero squatted with hands wrapped around his head in shock. Some people felt said they weren't able to help someone who saved their life.
"Saitama-san. We owe you a great debt, but could you help us with one more thing…?"
Having slightly recovered from his confusion, Saitama looked up to see the feminine spear wielder from earlier talking to him.
"Could you help us defeat the Catastrophe Dragon Lord?"
"So, you're saying that I am in another world and that you're not a group of cosplayers?"
"That's likely the case, Saitama-san. There have been many beings from another world that visited this world. At least that's what I have heard from the priests."
"Heh… That's unbelievable. Stuff like that only happens in manga."
The captain of the Black Scripture just gave away a top state secret of the Slane Theocracy to a total stranger from a completely unknown background. Even most of the Black Scripture members were not aware of other information regarding this secret. But not him as he was a top member of the group. He knew more information than others such as that their gods were "Players" like the Eight Greed Kings.
But that was okay to him because he deemed it was necessary to establish good relationship with a potentially powerful ally.
His name was Saitama and apparently, he was a hero from another world. The man was dressed in a way they had never seen before, but that was understandable because their Six Gods also brought with them many exotic looking clothes and equipment such as the ones that the 7Th seat was wearing.
The encounter with the vampire earlier left 4 of their members shredded to undistinguishable pieces beyond resurrection, so all of their pieces were bunched up together in a magic bag. And lady Kaire wasted [Downfall of Castle and Country] on Saitama, so they would have to wait for about a week for the cooldown to reset; time that they did not have because they were on a covert operation on foreign soil. They would have had to abandon their mission to subjugate the Catastrophe Dragon Lord. But luckily, the stranger who repelled the vampire on his own agreed to help them in completing their subjugation mission after the captain explained how the Dragon Lord was a threat to humanity, and right now his group and Saitama were on their way through the Great Forest of Tob toward the suspected lair of the Dragon Lord deep within the forest.
Throughout their trip, the man had been asking the group many questions regarding their world such as their culture, and their politics. It took some effort in explaining to him as the man wanted every explanation to be at less than 20 words.
As expected from a man who was potentially from another world, all of the general information about the world was surprising to him. One thing he was most surprised about was the existence of magics. He told them that back in his world, magics did not exist. With that information, the captain thought that the man was not from the same world as their Six Gods who were supreme magic users. Except one thing…
"What's a cosplayer?" the captain asked.
"Uh, never mind about that."
The caped man was sweating and looking suspicious when he was asked with the question. The leader of the Black Scripture noted to himself to research on what a cosplayer was.
Cosplayer…? Cos-"Player". Hmmm… - the captain thought in his mind.
"So, who was that little girl that killed four of your guys then?" Saitama continued his questioning.
"She was the vampire that attacked us earlier. When you pulverized her at first, I think she resurrected herself under a different form with a magic item." the captain responded. It baffled him completely at first, how the hero from another world was talking to the vampire, but now he understood why.
"I didn't know that the little girl was the mysterious being. The things that I said to her... Wow, awkward. I gotta get it in my head that now I am in a fantasy like world." the bald man looked embarrassed.
"Tarded-Tofu, right? Thank you for the information."
"It's Tadakatsu…" the leader corrected the man.
"Ah, sorry. Come to think of it… Erector-san, your dress does look like something from my world. It is like a schoolgirl uniform."
The face of Erector… or Eleanor of the 7th Seat twitched. As she was about to reply, a blonde beauty jumped on Saitama.
"What?! Are you from the same world as our gods, Saitama-san?! How are the 6 Lords doing?! When will they visit us again?!" Divine Chant of the 4th Seat, or Charlotte, the most devoted members of their scripture, grabbed and shook Saitama shoulder back and forth while firing questions at his face, not having realized on her own that the stranger was not from the same world as their gods.
"Um, I don't think so. I have never heard of your world Six Gods in my world before."
"Oh, sorry about my manner. Teehee." the blonde released the bald man.
Charlotte was normally graceful and beautiful like a goddess, but anytime the topic of the 6 Great Gods came up, she was kind of a fanatic. Blind-Faith you might say.
"It's Eleanor. This magic gear is one of the legacies of the Six Great Gods bestowed upon me by the Cardinals for my great skills." the 7th seat responded with a typical strict megane style.
"Sorry about that. I am not very good with names." Saitama offered his sincere apology.
The group had introduced themselves one by one to Saitama properly along the way, but the bald man had already forgotten some of their names.
"Hahaha, no problem. I'm Cedran in case you have forgotten. And brother, tell us about your world."
"Well, I am a famous professional hero, and my job is to deal with criminals and the mysterious beings which are basically monsters who terrorize the livelihood of the people daily. "
"You must be pretty strong, boy." Kaire winked at their new ally.
"That sounds like the same kind of problems what we have in this world." One Man Army or Quaiesse Hazia Quinta of the 5th seat joined the conversation.
"Oh, really? Well, we don't have Dragons in our world. At least not the one that behave like ones from the fantasy genre fictions in our world which seems to be the case for your world. I hope it is strong." Saitama smiled in anticipation.
"Not only that Dragons are threats to humanity, there are many other races who want to consume us humans who are the weakest race. So, that's why we have to stick together! It was the Six Great Gods who saved us from extinction, and we must follow their teachings!" Charlotte added.
"Well, I hope I can be of help to you guys. But I have to find my way back to my home world to." the hero really looked like he genuinely wanted to help.
"Perhaps there is something in the Treasury that could help you return back to your world." Eleanor offered her opinion.
"Heh… Really?"
"Yes! There is definitely a way! I hope you can return back to your home one day, Saitama-san." Charlotte was happily cheering Saitama as there was hope for their new friend.
"Thank you" the hero nodded in the expression of goodwill.
"In the meantime, I will show you great things in this world, brother. Let's go drink and eat hotpot at this nice place I know in the Capital with me and Orkhon once this is done!" Cedran who was one of the friendliest in the group invited the man from another world.
"Hotpot?! You have hotpot in this world?! I will gladly accept the offer!" Saitama seemed very happy.
"It is one of sacred food brought to this world by the 6 Great Gods, and it is famous in the Capital!"
"I want to join too to celebrate our new friend!" Divine Chant jumped in.
"Men only!"
"Aw…" The blonde looked down in sadness.
"Come on, bro. Let her join in too. The more the merrier."
"Well, okay…"
"Yay!" Charlotte became very energetic and happy after hearing this.
"But that is because you also call me brother, my brother! NYAHAHAHA!"
"Me too, boy." "I would like to join too." "Allow me to go too." then lady Kaire, Quaiessee, and Eleanor desired to join in too.
"Hahahaha…." the look on the bald man was very warm. That was because the conversation between the Scripture members and their new friend was very warm and friendly. At least most of them except the mysterious magic caster of the group, Zairos the Instant Death of the 3rd seat, who always looked like he had some kind of issue with everyone.
"Sorry to cut your conversation short, but It seems that we are here." the captain notified all of the members.
In front of them, it would have been noted to just to be a wide and majestic waterfall by normal people. But behind the veil of water, there was a large cavern network.
"It should be behind this waterfall according to the records in the Cardinal's Library."
"Ooooo! it's beautiful" Saitama commented.
"Let us make haste. If we are lucky, the Dragon Lord has not been revived yet."
The group and the two Gigant Lizard belonging to the 5th Seat made their way through the waterfall without getting their equipment wet as they were magical gears except Saitama whose jumpsuit had been wet by the waterfall.
"Uh, this suck."
"[Clean]"
Divine Chant casted a 1st tier spell to remove dampness on Saitama's clothes.
"Hoo! Thank you. Magic is really something."
"You're welcome, Saitama-san."
Charlotte responded with her goddess smile.
"But can you do something about this darkness though? I almost can't see a thing."
Deeper in a downward sloping pathway of the cavern, it was very dark. But that was not a problem for everyone in the Black Scripture as they had magic item that allowed them to see in the dark.
"With all your super strength, I thought you even had night vision or something, brother. NYAHAHAHA" Cedran slapped Saitama's right shoulder.
"Humans can't see in the dark like a cat, you know?"
"[Light Wisp]!"
Divine Chant casted another spell, and a ball of white light floated above Saitama's head to lighten the dark cavern.
"Ahhhh, thank you again."
The 4th seat nodded in acknowledgement.
"From here on out, we should be on guard."
The captain motioned his hand for the box formation. They had already planned extensively beforehand.
One of the two Gigant Lizards was ahead of everyone to scout and act as a meat shield to bait any sudden attack or trap because two of their scouters, the Time Turbulence of the 2nd seat and Heaven and Earth of the 12th seat were dead. Tadakatsu and Cedran were the vanguards. Charlotte, Eleanor, Kaire, and Zaiross, were in the middle to act as supporters. Orkhon and Quaiesse with his last Gigant Lizard were the rearguards. It was the standard formation to deal against any sneak attack from all directions in an unknown territory.
Everyone was trained to the utmost limit, so they were able to understand and jumped in the optimal positions quickly. Except Saitama who was standing on the sideline watching their fancy formation while picking his nose.
"Ahem, you can be in the vanguard with me and Cedran."
The captain gestured the bald man to stand by his side to cease the awkwardness.
"Nah, I will just go on ahead and end this quickly."
With that, Saitama just walk ahead quickly from everyone deep into the cavern with the light wisp trailing behind him.
"No! Wait!" "That fool!" the captain and the 3rd seat shouted toward the Saitama.
The Black Scripture members were shocked for two reasons. One, it was because the bald man decided to nonchalantly abandon their formation and rushed in alone. The hero from another world was strong. But against a Dragon Lord who could use Wild Magic to warp reality, even he could not fight alone. And two, it was because the mysterious magic caster of the group, Zairos, who never uttered a word before actually said something, making the rest of group the stare at him.
"What?" the wizard grunted.
The group decided to let it go and followed their new ally who went ahead of them.
*sigh* Maybe he is too excited of the prospect of fighting a strong enemy. the captain thought in his mind.
After about 30 minutes of walking in formation, the group arrived in an enormous chamber that had bright green glowing crystals protruding from the ceiling. The bald man would have no need for the light source anymore. But speaking of the bald man…
"Saitama-san! What are you doing!"
Tadakatsu accidentally yelled from the top of his lungs. He should not have done that in an underground cavern, but what he was seeing was…
"Don't worry. I'm just going to ask the dragon if he is a threat to humanity like you said he is."
What he was seeing was Saitama about to boop on the nozzles of a huge slumbering creature.
When Tadakatsu tried to persuade the caped hero to assist them in slaying the Dragon Lord on this expedition, the man really wanted to know if the dragon was an actual threat to people life before he agreed. To a few of them like Divine Chant, any intelligent races beside human were threats.
What kind of world is he from?! – was the line of thought the team was thinking.
And because of his shout, the creature opened its eyes revealing a slit in each of its eye balls.
"WHO DARED DISTURB MY SLUMBER?!"
The creature stood up behind the back of Saitama showing the entirety of its glorious form. Its outer form was wrapped in orange metallic scale. It stood straight 15 meters high in bipedal form like a human, and a pair of large wings and a long tail behind its back. Its head was enormous with its nose and large jaw that had sharp teeth projected forward, and on top of it was a pair of silver horns.
It was the Catastrophe Dragon Lord. One of the few Dragon Lords who had a Dragonoid appearance.
"Dragon-san, do you have any plans of attacking humans in the future?"
Saitama turned back and asked the majestic creature without any fear.
"Insolent human!"
The Dragon Lord swatted the bald man away with the back of his huge right hand in anger, and Saitama was sent flying to bury deep in the stone wall of the chamber.
"The strongest race can do whatever we want!"
"Saitama-san!" Charlotte shouted in worry.
"Ha! That weakling. I will do this myself! [Flight]" the 3rd seat abandoned the formation flew to combat the Dragon Lord alone. "[Death Coil]" Zairos the Instant Death casted a 5th tier instant kill spell which launched a green ball of death with a skull inside it toward the huge lizard.
"Vo Lah Dal!" the orange dragon responded by shouting three words, and the spell was reflected back to the floating magic caster.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Zairos plopped to the ground pathetically.
"Uh, I hated that guy." Cedran snickered.
"Team, charge!" Tadakatsu motioned for the group to start the attack on the Dragon Lord.
"[Reinforce Armor] [Lesser Hardening] [Reinforce Strike][Lesser Strength][Lesser Speed] [Lesser Resistance] [Lesser Protection Energy- Fire] [Under Divine Flag]"
The support team in the middle initiated by casting various buffs. Then the buffed vanguards and rearguards charged forward toward the dragon as it was the only enemy.
"More insolent humans. They have become arrogant while I was gone. When I'm done with this, I'm going to raise a few human settlements to the ground. Wuld Nah Kest!"
After uttering the last three words, the Dragon Lord suddenly appeared in front of charging group and tried to swat away Tadakatsu and Cedran away with the back of his left hand like he did toward Saitama.
"[Impenetrable Fortress]" but Cedran their main tank reacted just in the nick of time by casting a martial art to block the attack.
*Clank* the hit was so hard that even with the martial art and the buff, the burly man moved a few meter to the left.
"[Blind Shot]!" Eleanor pulled two knives from her bag and threw it toward the eyes of the dragon from the distance, but the creature spun around and deflected the projectiles with its wings.
The captain then challenged the Dragon Lord in a melee combat and exchanged a flurry of expert spearmanship with the humanoid creature.
"Ah and Ra, Go!" Quaiesse commanded his two Gigant lizards to attack the rear of the dragon. Orkhon was riding one of the lizards while holding his massive two-handed axe on only one hand.
But when they got close, the winged lizard fluttered its wings and flew upward.
"Ven Gaar Nos!" a huge deadly cyclone was conjured in between the captain and Orkhon with the lizards which send them, and the other close Black Scripture members scattered.
"[Heavy Recover]! [Heavy Recover]! [Heavy Recover]!"
Only the support group members were okay, and Divine Chant ran to cast healing spells on all of the injured.
"Everyone alright?" Kaire asked.
"I'm fine, granny. This overgrown lizard is one top mother fucker. Ouch." Cedran was okay. Others gave their thumb up to show that they were okay.
"I will end this now, humans!" but then the Dragon Lord reminded them why they were here.
"Fus Ro Dah!" a massive unrelenting force that shook the whole cavern system, smashed the group in a wide area propelling them to crash against the cavern stone wall.
Pain shot through the entire body of the captain. He struggled to get up, and now he understood why they were given the [Downfall of Castle and Country] for this mission.
The Catastrophe Dragon Lord was no ordinary Dragon Lord. It was one of the strongest among the Dragon Lords who could fight 1v1 against the Eight Greed King on even ground, and that was because of its unique use of Wild Magic unlike the others. It could quickly activate its magic through the Words of Power. Combining that with the immense strength of its Dragonoid form and this Dragon Lord's unusually high temperament toward lower lifeforms, it could diss out devastating combos of attacks, hence its nickname "Catastrophe".
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Do not challenge the strongest race ever again! Worship us like you used to do." the huge dragon roared.
Blood was dripping from the forehead of the captain. As he looked around, he could see he was the only one on this subjugation mission left standing. Except for one person…
"I'm going to ask you to stop. These are good people."
Saitama suddenly appeared in front of the Dragon Lord out of nowhere.
"What the fuck?! When did you get there?!"
The creature was surprised and flew quickly backward to land 50 meters from Saitama.
"Show me what you got, dragon."
The hero walked toward the Dragon Lord slowly with a smile on his face excited for the fight with an exotic monster he had never seen from his world before.
His aura was intimidating, and the once imposing monster was walking backward unconsciously. Having realized what he was doing, the Dragonoid unleashed immense killing intent toward that bald man that even the captain who was not the target could feel it stirring the air.
"I will show you my power! Wuld Nah Kest!" the monster shouted the same Words of Power from before and suddenly appeared behind Saitama.
"Behind you! Hahahaha! Yol Toor Shul!"
Satisfied that he got the jump on the bald man in revenge, he opened his mouth to release a huge fire breath toward the back of the caped man. After the flame dissipated, nothing alive could be seen in its fiery path.
"Nothing but ashes! That's what you get for opposing the strongest race in the world."
"No, behind you."
The bald man was not burned to ashes, and the captain could see that as soon as the dragon unleashed its fire breath attack, Saitama was already behind the creature.
"Damn you!" the Dragon Lord quickly turned around, and "Fus Ro Da!" the same Wild Magic that knocked their whole group slammed against the caped man at point blank.
But the man was unmoved.
"Was that everything? You have gone and gotten my hopes up." the bald man asked the dragon in a bored manner picking his ear that got a little bit irritated from the shout.
The Dragon Lord again walked backward unconsciously with fear and shock on his face.
"Enough! Mul Qah Div!"
An ethereal set of Draconic armor enveloped the dragon which made the creature even more majestic.
"This is over, human! Tiid Klo Ui!"
The Dragon Lord shouted another Words of Power the captain had not heard before, and after those three words he could feel that one of his magic items for counter-measure against time magic activated.
Time slowed down significantly in the vicinity, and only him with his magic item and the Dragon Lord were not affected by this. But what about Saitama?
The bald man was also influenced by the Wild Magic as he had nothing to counter it.
"HAHAHAHA! Who's the slow one now?! Did not expect that, did ya? Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!"
In the slowed time, the dragonoid proceeded to consecutively punch Saitama, and each strike the captain could feel that it was much stronger and faster before the lizard had his ethereal armor on.
Tadakatsu could do nothing to help the bald man because he was barely able to keep his own consciousness alive. By the end of the magic, the captain suspected that the dragon would have already landed more than a thousand strikes.
But unexpectedly, the hero's movement began to accelerate slowly second by second until he was able to dodge all of the blows from the Dragon Lord in the slowed time.
"Impossible-" the Catastrophe Dragon Lord shouted in shock, but his shout was cut short when he received a straight punch to his abdomen cracking his ethereal armor completely and sent the lizard to crash against the stone wall of the chamber generating cracks in the ceiling of the cavern.
"What… What are you! How the hell did you get that strong?!"
The now severely beaten Dragon Lord was struggling to walk straight slowly toward Saitama while thick red blood was dripping from its jaw.
"You're one of those who want to know, huh? Very well." Saitama's face suddenly became very sharp.
Is he really going to reveal his secret to the enemy?! - the captain thought in his mind.
Him and the dragon were rearing their ears to focus on what the bald man going to say.
"100 push-ups! 100 sit-ups! 100 squats! Then a 10-kilometer run every single day for 3 years!"
The captain and the Dragon Lord were shocked completely.
"Don't fucking screw with me! Blah!" the once imposing monster coughed a large pool of blood as he was struggling to speak. "No one can resist my Slow Time Wild Magic before beside those damn Eight Greed Kings. It's your suit right! I sense no power or any worth from it, but now that I've looked at it more closely, it's weird like those fucking Eight Greed Kings!"
"But that is really all I did… Why does no one believe me!" the caped man looked kind of upset.
"So, if I take it away…Qah Vazz Vik!"
After those shouts, the red gloves and boots, the belt, and the white cape, and the yellow jumpsuit of the bald man disintegrated into thin air.
"Huh?"
Saitama looked at his body in confusion. He was now in his birthday suit.
"FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
"You are now nothing!" the dragon smirked in superiority.
"No no no no no…" the bald man was looking around frantically to see if there was anything left of his precious costume which was gifted to him by his earliest friend who first believed in his path toward herohood, but he found nothing because the Wild Magic completely erased the simple unenchanted clothes from existence.
"You were a worthy opponent, human. But now you die—"
"SHUT UP!"
The naked man appeared in front of the Dragon Lord instantly.
"This cannot be…"
The light in the eyes of the dragon went out as he was also erased from existence like the bald man costume, and at the same time the orange light from the morning sunrise went in to illuminate the underground chamber after its whole ceiling was blown away completely showing the clear blue sky and the white cloud that parted away in a circle directly above it.
The captain wished that he was not the only one experiencing this because no one was going to believe what happened.
