Chapter 1.17: Defeating the Dragon Gaia

Okey.

Now what?

I just did something crazy. I mean, which sane person consciously goes into the belly of a dragon that spits fire out of its mouth! And moreover, the dragon I entered was a legendary dragon!

By the way, it seems like I am currently inside his hull. There was a yellow liquid and some undigested bones were perfectly floating here, while I myself climbed onto a rib that was still arranged so as not to touch the gastric fluid.

Although Dragon Gaia breathed out a breath of fire, surprisingly inside her body was quite cool— even though her stomach acid liquid could instantly melt you.

I can conclude that the fire produced by the Dragon is made of Mana that he collects around his guts, then spewed in large quantities through his mouth.

"Nr ...!"

As I was explaining what was going on, suddenly an earthquake-like tremor occurred and almost made me fall from where I stood. Although large, but actually it is just the activity of his stomach that is processing something.

What if the periscope movement is wrong? A shield? The stalks? Uh! Anyway not far from that! I'm no longer surprised by that because this earthquake has happened several times since I came here.

"And now, what am I supposed to do?"

I could have attacked using [Dark Wave] or other small attacks, but I wasn't sure if it would have a big effect on him.

Even what I was worried about, that little attack would only make his stomach hurt and make him go for disposal. Which finally makes me end up smelly and dirty— you of course know what I mean, and I don't want this handsome, clean me to have to go through something like that.

I formed the 'X' sign with my hand indicating that small attacks are big 'NO. I don't want to take any chances. It's enough with me suffering, I haven't shown my cool side during this fight.

But if it uses a major attack .... I only have [Abyss of Banishment] and [Whip of Judgement] who each use fifty percent of my overall manhood.

I peeked at my status interface screen. The remaining MP I have right now is only 75% and enough for one big attack of mine. But what if it doesn't work?! What if I have already expended a lot of mana and even failed miserably?!

"Argh! Dizziness, dizziness, dizziness!"

I dropped myself on a rib that made him unbalanced, lucky I didn't fall. This overthinking habit I really have to eliminate, damn it!

Is correct. You need to calm down, Arka. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe out, breathe out. After adjusting my breathing many times, I was finally able to calm down a little.

And to be even calmer, I have a habit of opening my status screen and then seeing the Skills I have, somehow this can calm me down. Although I haven't done it in a long time.

It's all because of that goddamn Goddess who didn't give me a break! After fighting the mud monster, I have to go straight against the Legendary Dragon. The difference in strength is too far, oi!

"Alright, alright. Let's just calm down again."

The skills I have are a lot. Other than the active Skills I use often, I have more passive Skills. [Weapon Mastery], [Health Regeneration], [Mana Regeneration], and others. But the most high-level Skill was [Cooking Lv. 10]. I don't know since when it can be this high, but after I have this Skill, the ingredients I cook always become amazingly delicious.

"Eh? What'sthis?"

[Infinity Lvs. 1]? I don't feel that I've had this Skill before. What is this I got when I defeated 3000 Dragon clones, huh? By the way, I directly read the explanation of his Skill and made my eyes widen in surprise.

"Yes-who really is?!"

There goes. This is the one I will use to defeat Dragon Gaia! And this [Infinity] Skill could not be alone either. His abilities were only limited to Skills alone and could not be applied to real objects, but for now that was enough.

I stood up excitedly on the platform of this unshakeable ribcage, then closed my hands like a praying person. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate.

"[Abyss of Banishment]"

I then put my hand into the acid reflux. The sound of 'csshh' proved that this liquid indeed burned my hand and made me grimace, but I will endure the pain for a while.

After a while, I finally took my hand out. Until my wrists blistered and his skin peeled off, but thanks to that [Abyss of Banishment] managed to start spreading.

I saw that the [Abyss of Banishment] was spreading all over the wall of this hull. However, it stops when a little more coats the entire wall of the hull. I knew that this thing could not move too far inside the body of Gaia Dragon.

Therefore, I will add this Skill! "[Infinity] !!"

[Abyss of Banishment] started moving spread again. Yosh! It really works! "Wuoo ...!" The earthquake happened again, but this time it was harder than before. "Haha ...! Do you feel it, Dragon Gaia?! It feels slowly digested from within?!" my yelling.

[New Skill Creation Terms Have Been Done, Please Name The Skill]

The tip of my lips lifted. Turns out this forms a new Skill, huh? Fortunately I had already thought of the name of the Skill that would spread this despair, even to the legendary Dragon.

"Continue spreading ... [Abyss of Desperation]"

I saw a hole in the upper wall of the hull and darted quickly to get out of here.

"W-what happened?!! It was like being eaten from inside!"

Outside, Naga Gaia is agitated, in pain, and tormented because I******* her organs from within. And the torture grew even more when the hole was created from his hard skin and I jumped out of it and jumped back in front of Gaia Dragon's face.

"Yahoo." I greeted him kindly.

"You! What have you done?!"

"Oh no, I'm just eating you."

"What?!" Dragon Gaia prepared to let out a burst of fire from her mouth again. But I won't let that happen, I pointed my right palm towards his face.

"[Infinity]! [Infinity]! [Infinity]! [Infinity]! [Infinity]! ...."

I performed the [Infinity] Skill continuously and did not give him a chance, and it proved successful when he grimaced in pain and his concentration in gathering mana on his flame burst became disturbed.

"[Infinity]!"

CRAAASH...

Blood gushed out of my nose. I pushed myself too much again. But if it makes me beat him, I will do it continuously until he loses!

The expenditure of my [Infinity] Skill was a little disturbed as the nosebleeds and trembling in my body again occurred. I-I'm not just gonna stop. With both hands of the [Shadow Construct] already barely shaped, I tried to keep pointing it at the face of Dragon Gaia.

"B ... [Infinity]!"

CRAAASH...

This time not only from the nose, my mouth also let out blood. But Dragon Gaia was also not in a good condition, almost 50% of her body had been covered in [Abyss of Desperation]. I just need to do it a little bit more.

"You're gonna regret this, man!"

"I have a name, damn it! My name is Arka Wijayakusuma! You better remember that, 'cause that name's gonna kill you! [Infinity]!"

KRAACH...

In addition to making me bleed continuously, using the Skill also turned out to be able to break the bones in my body. But I'm not going to stop, it's a fight of physicality, stamina, and mentality. I won't stop even if I have to break every bone in my body!

"[Infinity]!"

The two wings of the Gaia Dragon that normally stretched wide now fell to the ground, as the [Abyss of Desperation] had digested its connecting bones.

Then after ten minutes later passed, the digestive process had reached the 90% stage and left only the neck and head which then also fell to the ground.

I who had also destroyed almost all the bones in my body also fell on my stomach on the ground, in front of the head of Dragon Gaia.

"You really .. do it, man. "

Oh? Dragon Gaia was still able to speak even though it left only her head and neck that were continuously digested.

"Aac! Ahakh!" I also wanted to answer him, but before that I coughed up blood first. "I told you, didn't I? I came here to kill you. And also, I have a name."

Silence happened between the two of us. As if waiting for a certain death for Dragon Gaia, he continued to watch over this dying me.

"What is your power ... coming from that rotten Goddess?"

"No, I don't rely on him too much. I did it in my own strength. Although I do not deny that the [Rot] Skill seems to be from him."

"Manusia— no .., Arka. I'll remember that name."

After that, he was completely absorbed. [Abyss of Desperation] really did his job well.

[Successfully Defeated The Legendary Dragon, The Goddess of Gaia Religion, The Pet of Bellerophon, Gaia]

[Your Level Increases From Lv. 60 Towards Lv. 100]

[Getting a New Title: God Slayer, Dragon Slayer]

Skips.

I don't want to hear it. My goal here was to kill him and I managed to do it, but why do I feel empty now?

Along with the death of Dragon Gaia, this dimension also slowly shattered and disappeared. The land where I lay on my stomach also disappeared and I fell freely to the ground and landed on the edge of the lake.

It seems like the Gaia Dragon dimension is not too far away with my place in teleportation, hence I can fall here. But it doesn't matter anymore, for now I want to sleep and recover my HP and MP first.

I closed my eyes and ....

"You really gave me some interesting entertainment, Arka." Suddenly someone came to disturb me who wanted to rest, and that person was the one I least wanted to meet right now. The Goddess Loki.

"What do you want?"

"It's cold, but I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory."

His voice was different than before. He used to be talking from the phone, but now it's like he's in front of me. I tried to look up and see him, but he held my crown with the sole of his shoe.

"Nope, nope, I suggest you don't look up. Because I'm ashamed that someone saw my real face firsthand. Let's just continue like this."

It's true he's here! But talking like this is somehow quite strange, like an employer talking to his pet.

"Heh~ Is your face that bad until you're embarrassed yourself?"

"You can think of it that way. The other gods also said that, Gaia also said that, right?"

"Yes. So, you actually came here just to congratulate me? You are free as a Goddess."

"It's okay, right? What's wrong with visiting my best entertainment and giving it a little fun." Again he thought of me as his boredom-busting spectacle. "By the way, what are you going to do after this? Has your plan to get to the human city not changed?" continued.

"Yes, I could die of curiosity if I don't get there right away."

"A little warning, you can make a fuss with your level right now there. I suggest hiding your current level."

"really? I don't think being strong is something that needs to be covered up."

"That's true, but it's a different story if you get too strong."

"What the fuck, are you worried about me? It's disgusting."

"That's just a suggestion, I'm not forcing you to obey me. Instead I'm waiting for what you're gonna do next."

Was she really the filthy rotten Goddess that Dragon Gaia said she was? I feel like he's not that bad. Although I must not be fooled by his words. But at least, I'll try to listen to his advice.

"All right, I get it."

"You took my advice?"

"I'll think about it later. And also, one more thing ...." I brushed off his legs that were on my crown and stood looking at him— turned out to be easier than I expected.

She also wears a typical medieval pure white hoodie that covers almost the entirety of her face. "... I will return the [Blessing of God] Skill to you."

As I told Dragon Gaia before, I don't want to rely too much on her. My current level should be enough to survive in this world, so I don't really need her help anymore.

"You sure?" tanyakanya.

"I'm sure."

His face was indeed closed, but I could see his smile peering out from there.

SWUUUSH...

Suddenly, a fairly large wind blew towards the two of us and accidentally blew the Hoodie skull worn by Goddess Loki and showed her face.

"You really are ... Very interesting spectacle, you know?" said it.

Face visible. And he .. is not such a bad person. What is so ugly?! It's so pretty, woi! I don't know if the Goddess Gods have eyes, but there is no such ugly element of her face at all. Even making me cheek at the moment redden.

"It's a shame to have to show my face to a human being directly."

"Sorry." I turned my face away. I seemed stunned long enough to look at him.

"Alright, I'll grant your request. And to ease your journey in a new city, I'll do something of my own accord."

"What?"

Suddenly my vision became blurry and my consciousness slowly disappeared. The last thing I saw was the face of Goddess Loki.

After I fainted, Goddess Loki did something I didn't know and then cast a Skill on me. "[Teleportation]"
