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 1.28

「……Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!」

I had once heard from someone who had fought a high-ranking dragon species before. According to them, when dragons are cornered, they unleash a powerful breath attack as a last-ditch effort.

「…Tch!? This is… seriously…!」

That was precisely why I was able to respond accordingly.

「Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!」

The Chaos Dragon collapsed onto the ground, its massive body convulsing as its neck weakly turned toward Marina and me.

“Too bad… This battle is already in my hands.”

The dagger I had thrown toward the Chaos Dragon’s breath attack became a gateway to another dimension.

「Gah…!?」

The dragon’s breath, which was meant to incinerate Marina and me, never reached us. Instead, it erupted violently inside the Chaos Dragon’s own body.

「…Huh? What… just happened?」

Marina, who had been bracing herself against the breath attack, stood frozen in shock, watching as the Chaos Dragon’s insides exploded, sending a rain of bl00d and flesh everywhere.

“You see, my affinity with the Chaos Dragon is incredibly high… The chaotic, formless energy within the Chaos Dragon warps space itself. That’s why it appeared as an enormous, mountain-sized creature when we first encountered it. But I can interfere with that chaotic power. By manipulating it with a little spatial magic, I can redirect its own breath attack… right back inside its body.”

「…Wait, what? I have no idea what you just said. I only understand that you’re pulling off something completely unfair.」

“Well, it’s a trick that only works because my opponent was a Chaos Dragon. The spatial magic I use is largely based on intuition, so it’s hard to explain in detail. Just bear with my poor explanation, okay?”

My affinity with the Chaos Dragon was exceptionally strong.

As a user of spatial and temporal magic, I could manipulate and control the distortions caused by the chaotic energy it possessed.

That was why I was able to defeat it so easily.

Had I been up against a different type of dragon, things would have been much more complicated. I would have needed to adjust several aspects of my overall strategy.

“Alright, Marina. Let’s head back to the territory.”

“Eh? Already? If we go back now, your father is just going to dump another impossible task on you. Wouldn’t it be nice to take it easy in this city for a while?”

“No, not necessarily. This time, I might be able to avoid getting stuck with more of Father’s troublesome demands… Fufufu. My ambitions are grand—world domination! And for my first step… I plan to swiftly become the head of the Reinhardt Ducal House.”
