Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 330.5 - Reverse Scale

Long Nuhuang welcomed the challenge and charged the draconic beast as well!

Bam!

****

The collision resulted in a blast that sent Long Nuhuang flying before she crashed into a faraway cave wall.

Long Huangdi was about to cry out before a small figure shot from the dust-filled crater in the wall.

The figure crashed into the wyrm, which sent it reeling back a few feet. It growled and brought its tail around for another strike.

Long Nuhuang retaliated by firing several punches in quick succession, shuddering and cancelling out the tail strike.

The shock from the attacks caused her to take a dozen steps back. Blood stained her robes and ran down her face, having her appear like a murderous goddess.

Shing! Shing!

The strange markings on her body began circulating slowly, raising her power even higher!

Shu! Shu! Shu!

In response, the scales on the wyrm bristled wildly, and it opened its imposing jaws at the same time as the area around them began trembling.

Long Jin’s draconic feature moved as if to signify a raise of his brow. “I didn’t think it was able to do this.”

“It must have experienced a breakthrough of some kind,” Long Cang commented.

Long Huangdi heard their conversations and no small amount of dread welled up within him. “Wait… what are you–”

“Raaaarrrrgh!”

He was cut off by a deafening roar let loose by the wyrm as a shockwave compressed into a breath attack ejected from its mouth.

Long Nuhuang's eyes widened in shock and she dodged at the last second and the attack struck right where she was.

The attack destroyed the area and beyond to devastating effect. It tore through the earth like paper and zoomed right into the sea of magma, spawning a new generation of waves!

“Damn!” Long Nuhuang breathed out in astonishment at the catastrophe wrought by that last attack.

The wyrm snorted in anger that its attack missed and its scales bristled once again, causing a feeling of dread to sprout in Long Nuhuang anew.

“Oh, no you don’t!” Long Nuhuang made to close the distance between her and the wyrm as fast as she could.

She knew that if she ran from here, that if she tried to create distance between her and her foe, that it would be the end of her. This beast would be better acclimated to using its new attack, and it would land on her. It would land on her to no good end.

There was no need to guess what her fate would be after that.

As she neared the massive beast, she saw a slight bulge rising up the throat of the wyrm at an alarming rate.

Her heart caught in her own throat when she saw this.

Dum…

Suddenly, the strange markings all over began fading, and she felt her strength betray her in turn.

“No! Not now!” She despaired when she realised this.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in her head and she looked around suspiciously at the stands but none of the observers there made any move to indicate they said anything.

She then gritted her teeth and steeled her heart to undertake something she was told to NEVER do in her time here.

After the plan was divulged, the voice told her that no matter what; she needed to kill this wyrm or it would end her, and this time it would succeed.

She knew enough about these creatures to know that they rarely exaggerated themselves. If the surety in the voice she heard was anything to go by, then there was a way to end this quickly before she was left powerless to the mercy of a thing she was sure held none of it.

She abruptly changed the direction of her charge and the wyrm noticed this and wondered where she was going.

Suddenly, it became too clear and even Long Jin bristled in anger.

“Impudent!”

Long Nuhuang was heading for the Wyrm’s reverse scale!

“Stop!”

Long Nuhuang heard Long Jin’s cry, but she deafened herself to it. She headed straight under the wyrm’s throat where a scale stood out in defiance with its shape and direction.

It looked almost new and soft… vulnerable… weak!

A malicious smile split her face when these words came to mind. They were the words that sparked Long Jin’s ire, and they were the words that caused the wyrm to buck up in shock when it saw what she aimed for.

An instinctive anger overtook it, and she knew it was now or never!

The last vestiges of her strength were leaving her, but before it did, she would make use of its tenure! She would have it work for the time it took up residence in her body!

She lunged for the spot on the throat, harbouring the reverse scale, and the wyrm made a move to lunge back but the swelling of its diaphragm halted its movement, causing it to lurch instead.

“Now!”

The pause, the hesitation wrought by an attack meant to end her, instead gifted her the wyrm’s long neck, or more specifically its under chin.

‘Twas a gift she accepted with open arms.

“Aaarraagh!”

She roared as she circulated her energy and liberated a barrage of strikes against the reverse scale!

B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-Bang!

Fists, knees, head, elbows, palms, kicks and all else rained down on it with reckless abandon!

Pling!

A satisfying cracking sound rang out that forced a smile on Long Nuhuang’s lips. The reverse scale fractured, and bright, nearly glistening red blood flowed freely.

The wyrm roared from a place of apex anger, but Long Nuhuang forced herself to forego the feeling of mortal danger that caused every instinct within her to scream their protest!

The reverse scale shattered and the wyrm’s energy plummeted once more, but not before the blast it conjured earlier made its way past the area where the gaping wound caused by the desecration of its reverse scale lay.

Long Nuhuang only saw for a split second the swelling of that point before the wound tore open and the wyrm’s head exploded!

Bang!

The markings faded from Long Nuhuang’s body and the ebbing of her strength perfectly matched the wyrm’s passage from life, since it was all but gone.

Silence reigned for a long time after this, until it was broken by something most unkind.

“Human, die for me!” A roar of anger rang out as Long Nuhuang looked upward to see First Claw Long Jin with killing intent blaring, descending upon her to destroy her entirely!
