...I can't do anything.
Chapter Three: At the End of Excessive Power, Who Reigns Supreme?
“Okay,” Koshimura Sawa suddenly said.
“If you can’t accept that, then… um?” The giraffe paused for a moment. “I thought you would at least hesitate a little longer.”
"What should I do?" Yuecunze ignored him and asked directly.
The giraffe lightly tapped its hooves, pushing the transparent light curtain in front of him.
"You've played D&D, right? You always know how to play with cars and cards—"
"Alright." Koshimura pushed the light screen back in front of him.
"So fast???"
“Back at the faraway First High School, everyone called me the God of D&D.” Yue Cunze smiled wickedly, his face showing three parts indifference, three parts mockery, and four parts nonchalance. “It’s still 32 purchase points. I’ve never fought such a rich battle in my life.”

"My God, a level 1 Charm Adjustment Value +4, Lord Cursed Sword! When I was a kid, I was terrified by this episode where he slashed 6d8 magic energy with one strike and cried." The giraffe took the light screen, looking incredulous. "Why are you so skilled? Are you still playing the overpowered game? I feel like I can't handle this anymore."
"No, buddy, stagnant water is sinister, no, cursed sword is overpowered? This is making me tremble with rage in broad daylight, my hands and feet are ice-cold. Can't this world be kind to us overpowered people? I've been a free spirit my whole life, and now I'm not even allowed to be overpowered?" Yue Cunze stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on everyone. "At the end of overpoweredness, who stands at the peak? One glimpse of Ze Sheng and all is in vain! At the pinnacle of immortality, I reign supreme. With my savings account, there is heaven—"
Have you become so engrossed in your art that you've lost all sense of the world, Hakize?
"Whatever makes you happy." The giraffe seemed used to it. "Well then, in order to keep track of the situation here, I will keep in touch with you. You can let me know anytime if you have any questions."
"No, wait a minute—"
"As for now, this stage is in your hands."
As the last syllable falls.
Click.
The crisp sound of gears rang out again.
The frozen time suddenly thawed.
A surge of air, dust billowing up, and a destructive breath erupted from deep within the red dragon's throat. A towering inferno, carrying the intense heat to incinerate everything, relentlessly poured down upon Chihaya Aine, who slumped to the ground, her eyes utterly consumed by despair.
It's over... I'm really... going to die...
"Why...why me...! I just...I just got lost...I want to go home...Help...help me...waaaah..."
Chihaya Aine closed her eyes in despair.
Long wait.
It felt as if a heat wave brushed against her body, but it didn't hurt her at all; only the fine hairs on her skin felt a burning pain, as if they had been scorched.
The girl opened her eyes with some confusion.
What met her eyes was not the pain and death she had expected.
Instead, it was a stranger's back view.
The figure stood before her, his back to her, one hand outstretched forward, his short black hair dancing in the wind, his thin clothes clinging to his body. In front of him was a transparent barrier shaped by dragon breath.
"The blazing sky covers seven rings!"
Although it was just a regular shield spell, Koshimura Sawa inexplicably felt that shouting it out might increase the defensive power.
Outside the barrier, the dark red dragon breath, powerful enough to incinerate everything, was forcibly torn apart, surging and dissipating to both sides like Moses parting the sea.
The destructive energy was less than a meter from her nose. The scorching heat wave penetrated the shield, ruffling Chihaya Aine's messy pink hair.
But this short distance of just one meter felt like an insurmountable chasm.
Chihaya Aine's eyes widened to their limit instantly as she stared blankly at the boy standing there.
Like a hero descending from the heavens in epics and legends, as long as he stood there, his breath, which was enough to instantly burn her to a crisp, was blocked outside the barrier, unable to penetrate an inch.
Sweat mixed with blood and ash streamed down his cheek, clearly indicating that maintaining the shield was no easy task for him.
But at this moment, in Chihaya Aine's eyes, this disheveled figure was like a brand, deeply etched into her heart, which was almost filled with fear. An unprecedented tremor surged through her blank mind.
"Damn it, giraffe, you didn't even give me a weapon!" Feeling his magic being frantically drained, like being forcefully sucked up with a straw and having his toes swung in, Koshimura couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Even in the starting village, you get a wooden sword when you go out to fight slimes! You want me to fight a red dragon empty-handed?! Where's the spirit of cooperation?"
As if hearing his desperate accusations, the moment his words fell, a cold sensation suddenly appeared in his right hand.
Koshimura looked down.
He was holding a strangely shaped "weapon" in his hand.
It has a headstock with knobs and a grip similar to an electric guitar neck, but at the end of the grip is not the body of a guitar, but a gleaming, sharp blade about two feet long. Most outrageous of all, there are six guitar strings embedded in the blade near the guard.
A guitar sword?!
Koshimura's lips twitched. Although it felt a bit outrageous, it strangely fit the art style of this world.
Sorry bro, I almost forgot.
The sound of a giraffe suddenly echoed in my mind.
No, you've already called me brother, so what's there to say? Just give it to me directly, okay?
Blah blah, how did I get controlled by the strange tales of Freljord rules?
The shield's fluctuations became increasingly violent, and fine cracks began to appear at its edges. Yuecunze knew he couldn't withstand the onslaught any longer.
The red dragon's breath attack has noticeably weakened; although still deadly, its damage output is rapidly decreasing.
Immediately afterwards, the giant mouth spewing dragon breath suddenly closed, and the dragon panted with its tongue lolling out, like a triangle under a 40-degree summer heat. Its scale-covered neck also stiffened for a moment due to the violent breathing.
Due to the height difference, the red dragon would have to lower its proud head to attack the two of them with its breath.
What are the most vulnerable parts of an animal's body?
eye.
Time seemed to stretch out instantly, and the other person's movements became incredibly slow. In return, Koshimura felt his mind was clearer than ever before.
His hands touched the steel strings, his left hand pressing down the Gm chord, while his right hand gently swept across the strings.
What came out was not a pleasant melody, but a sharp vibrato.
A dark green beam of light shot out and instantly struck the red dragon's enormous vertical pupil.
The release of [Trick] is usually quite simple, requiring at most one chord.
As a [Sorcerer], unleashing a signature trick like [Magic Explosion] is naturally a piece of cake.
“Ouch——!!!”
The red dragon let out a painful roar and instinctively closed its injured eyes.
opportunity!
Before Koshimura could even dispel his crumbling shield, he endured the pain throughout his body and took a sudden step forward. Gripping his guitar sword tightly in both hands, he stabbed fiercely into the dragon's eye through its hard eyelids!
His strength attribute is only 10, and theoretically he might not even be able to break through the defense of this young red dragon.
but--
The Sorcerer's Cursed Sword subclass allows them to use Charisma instead of Strength for attack rolls!
Hex Warrior
At level 1, effective combat training grants you proficiency in medium armor, shields, and military weapons.
[Additionally, you can magically guide your will with a specific weapon. Each time you complete a long rest, you can touch a weapon you have mastered that does not have two-handed attributes. When you make an attack roll and damage roll with this weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity. This buff will last until you complete your next long rest.]
Can you withstand this attack with +4 attack roll and +4 damage?!
The blade pierced the red dragon's fragile eyelids without any resistance, and even penetrated the eyeball tissue beneath them. Hot dragon blood mixed with some kind of viscous gelatinous substance gushed out like a fountain.
"roar--------!!!!!"
The red dragon howled in unprecedented agony, the excruciating pain of its pierced eyeball driving it into a frenzy.
Before Yuecun Ze could even draw his sword, a tremendous force, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, struck his side squarely.
"Bang-click!"
It felt as if every bone in his body had shattered under the blow of the dragon's claws. Yue Cunze was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a huge, angular boulder at the edge of the cave wall.
His body slid down like a tattered sack, collapsing onto the cold, rocky ground.
The left side of his body was completely numb, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken. Every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain and the smell of blood.
My vision gradually darkened, and my consciousness teetered on the brink of unconsciousness.
Fully insured semi-trailer, so you were still chasing me after all...
The red dragon strode forward with heavy steps, like a moving mountain, approaching Yuecunze step by step, the ground trembling slightly beneath its feet.
Koshimura looked on in despair at the ever-approaching, enormous shadow.
Giraffe, you're such a rip-off! At least give me an 8 or 10 level card! What can I do at level 1...?
"no, do not want!"
Just then, a voice, trembling with tears yet unusually firm, shouted.
Chapter Four: You are a dragon, so be it.
The immense shock left Chihaya Aine's mind blank, almost completely robbing her of her ability to think.
But at this moment, seeing the terrifying dragon move away from her and turn towards the boy who was seriously injured while saving her, an unprecedented impulse suddenly overwhelmed all her fear.
We can't just stand by and watch him... He's the one who saved us!
Chihaya Aine practically tumbled and crawled towards the filthy suitcase lying on the ground.
The target was the guitar bag that was placed with the suitcase.
She frantically unzipped the zipper and grabbed the ESP she used when playing in the student council band. The headstock had just fallen to the ground and seemed to have some cracks, but she didn't care about that now!
