The Genius and Calamity of the Villainous Noble: A Brilliant Prodigy Unaware of Their Reincarnation as the Game's Antagonist Defies the Scenario and Dominates with Talent and Hard Work - Chapter 1.23

The massive spear I launched tore through the air with incredible force, flying straight toward the mountain before slamming into it with a thunderous crash.

At that exact moment—

“GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

A deafening roar shook the area, accompanied by a violent tremor, as the enormous figure began to move.

“Kyah!”

The colossal body, as large as a mountain itself, shifted, causing immense destruction to its surroundings. The ground beneath Marina and me quaked furiously, prompting a startled cry from Marina.

“How… how are we supposed to fight something like that?!” Marina exclaimed, her voice laced with disbelief. “And wait, is the Chaos Dragon really that massive? There was so little information about it, but surely someone could’ve mentioned its size!”

“Ah, don’t worry. The actual Chaos Dragon isn’t that big,” I replied calmly.

“…What?” Marina looked at me in confusion.

“The Chaos Dragon’s nature is, well, chaos. Its essence is a mix of various traits, and that mixture distorts time and space, creating an alternate dimension around it. That’s what makes it look so massive. Once we break through its spatial distortion, it’ll shrink to a more reasonable size,” I explained.

“I see…! In that case—”

“Well, I can break through the distortion, but it’ll take some time. So, we might need to fight it in its current form for a little while,” I added casually.

“…What?” Marina’s face fell, her expression turning into one of despair.

“But look, it’s not like we need to completely defeat the Chaos Dragon in this state. We just have to hold our ground. It won’t be that hard,” I said, trying to reassure her.

“Well… if survival is all we need to manage, then it shouldn’t be a problem,” Marina replied with a reluctant nod.

The Chaos Dragon’s size was undeniably overwhelming, and the magical energy radiating from it was immense. However, it wasn’t enough to instill a true sense of life-threatening danger in us. I was confident we wouldn’t die here.

“GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

The Chaos Dragon let out another earth-shaking roar. This time, it leapt into the air, its massive form hurtling toward us with terrifying speed.

“It’s time, Marina,” I said, my voice steady as I prepared myself.

“Understood,” Marina replied firmly.

As the Chaos Dragon charged toward us, we both shifted into combat stances, ready for the battle ahead.
