Lying on its stomach on the top of the ruins of an ancient building, Hayata gently moves its limbs and joints.

Looking at the Black Flame King, who was completely enraged and chasing after the pork chop, Hayatta adjusted her breathing and said in a low voice, "Xianglan, it's coming." ”

"Meow—"

Xianglan, who was lying beside Hayata, rubbed her face and pulled out her slender catsword.

It wasn't reluctant or cowardly, it just felt a little bit dangerous to jump on the back of a monster like the Black Flame King

But Hayatta is ready to jump, it has to jump anyway!

The pork chop that ran all the way had come to the ruins of the ancient building at this time, and there were solid bricks on this side, and it couldn't drill it even if it wanted to, so it began to wander around in place, pretending to be pitiful that there was no way to escape.

The Black Flame King who followed behind let out a long, exhilarating roar, and it flailed its wings into the air, then swooped down again.

Rather than charring the pork chop with its breath, it apparently wanted to shred it up with its claws himself.

In the face of the swooping fierce fire dragon, the pork chop first stayed in place for a few seconds.

Seeing that the Black Flame King was swooping faster and faster, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, it suddenly turned around and ran towards the ruins brick wall not far behind, and climbed up on all fours.

It wanted to lure the Black Flame King into the wall first.

But even if the Black Flame King was carried away by the rage, it was impossible for him to dive down at full speed and slam himself into the wall half to death just to catch a cat.

Noticing the chop's movements, it lifted itself deftly, its wings flapping wide and slowing down, and in an instant, it changed its swooping stance, and reached forward with its paws to grab at the chop hanging on the ruins.

The dragon's claws gripped it, and at the moment when the poisoned claws were about to grab it, the pork chop suddenly let go of the limbs of the wall and slipped through the cracks in the claws of the Black Flame King.

The pork chop landed safely, and the Black Flame King grabbed it, but there were a few deep claw marks on the remains of the ancient building that had existed for an unknown number of years.

The attack failed again, and the Black Flame King was furious, and in mid-air, it flapped its wings to maintain a hovering attitude, just about to stretch out its claws again to pounce on the target.

Two figures, one large and one small, flew down from the top of the ruins above its head and landed on its back.

The position of this "jumping platform" was well chosen, facing the Black Flame King hanging two or three meters above the ground, it was almost just enough to jump on its back, and the drop was about one meter.

This made Hayatta and Xianglan move very steadily when they landed on the Black Flame King's back.

Realizing that something had fallen on his back, the Black Flame King instantly became agitated.

Any creature that can fly in the air will be wary of touching from behind, which is engraved in the instinct, because the higher position always wins in the aerial scramble, and the predator's attack is also from the top down.

The Black Flame King subconsciously flapped his wings and flicked his giant tail, trying to attack the enemy on his back with his wing bones and giant tail covered with bone thorns.

However, its body structure made it impossible for such an attack to work, and it couldn't even reach the Hunter and Eru lying on its back.

So, it began to shake its body more violently, shaking and tumbling, like an angry bull.

Hayatta gripped the edge of the carapace on the Black Flame King's back and pinched herself onto the monster's back.

She didn't even dare to pull out the knife now, because the strength of a single hand was simply not enough to hold herself in place in such a fierce struggle.

Xianglan straightened all four of her paws, and pushed herself between the two triangular back armors.

Eru didn't have long, powerful fingers like humans, and her claws weren't sharp enough to snap into the Black Flame King's carapace, so she had to hold herself in such a comical way if she didn't get thrown out by the Black Flame King.

Pork Chop and Gordon, who had just caught up, just watched the Black Flame King toss back and forth in the air, a little worried, but they couldn't help.

Finally, the Black Flame King was a little tired, and it returned to its normal hovering stance, and the spark between its mouth and nose gushed out with a heavy gasp.

Seeing this, Hayatta immediately pulled out the knife for peeling, aimed at the gap in the carapace that he had been looking forward to, and stabbed it fiercely.

"Whew——!"

The Black Flame King let out a roar of pain.

The knife may not have caused any substantial damage, but the pain was extremely intense.

Hayatta stabbed one by one, and Xianglan also raised her long needle-shaped Sakura Fire Totoro Sword and poked deep into the gap in the Black Flame King's back armor.

They all chose pain-sensitive locations such as meridian concentration or bone gaps, in order to make the Black Flame King feel enough pain to cause muscle spasms.

The Black Flame King, whose pain was unbearable in his back, was tossing and dancing again, struggling.

Hayatta and Xianglan hurriedly put the weapon in their mouths, and firmly fixed themselves with all their strength, at this time, the Black Flame King was several meters above the ground, and it was about to be thrown and smashed, and the scene was probably not too good.

"Roaring ——!"

The Black Flame King let out a howl of pain again, and his wings, which were wider and more powerful than ordinary male fire dragons, slammed into the air, and his body weighing dozens of tons suddenly rushed straight into the air at an almost vertical angle.

"it!" Gordon let out an exclamation of surprise with his mouth wide open.

If the previous height, Hayatta and the others would be severely injured if they were thrown off, then if they fell down now, they would have to fall all over the ground.

Taking a step forward and desperately catching up, Gordon began to regret that he knew that the Black Flame King was the real "King of the Sky" and should not have agreed to Halfatta to take this risk.

The Black Flame King didn't fly far, and when it came to a height of hundreds of meters, its body turned and began to dive, obviously trying to rely on the inertia that suddenly pulled up after the dive to throw the guys on its back down.

Hayatta on the dragon's back was also a little panicked, but it was useless to panic at this time, so he could only desperately hold on to his body and stick to the back of the Black Flame King as closely as possible.

“！！！”

Xianglan's limbs were trembling, but at this time, she could only use her strength to breastfeed and support her desperately.

100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters above the ground

Seeing that he was about to hit the earth, the Black Flame King "Huh! Earth spread his wings, his speed plummeted, and under the huge inertia, one of Hayata's hands could not grasp, and he slid away from the edge of the Black Flame King's carapace.

Seeing that her other hand couldn't support it and was about to be thrown out completely, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a knife to peel it off, and casually chiseled it down through the gap in the carapace.

Her original intention was just to create an extra fixed point that was easy to hold, but this knife seemed to have stabbed at some important position at the junction of the Black Flame King's shoulder and neck.

The unbearable pain struck, and the Black Flame King, who was dancing his wings wildly and successfully changing his swooping posture at the moment before he was about to hit the bottom, stiffened.

The coordinated movements suddenly became scattered, and the balance in flight was also disrupted.

Its wings and hind feet fluttered indiscriminately, and the Black Flame King, who had lost its subsequent lift, fell headlong to the ground.

The moment before the Black Flame King landed, Hayatta and Xianglan let go in time, and they adjusted their posture to the ground, although they were still a little frightened, but they were not injured.

Rushing in, he watched Hayatta get up from the ground with a "I'm still alive?" on his face. Stunned.

Gordon let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, he picked up his big sword and looked at the struggling Black Flame King with a sneer.
