Reborn as the Hero’s Daughter! Time to Become the Hero Once More!

has successfully drawn the aggro and received the brunt of its claws and tail attack.
This attack was easily blocked by Gadius’ shield preventing it from reaching Lyell.

Several minutes after the battle, the stalemate was starting to crumble.
Although it was only several minutes, it was also a matter of life or death in those several minutes alone.
That small amount of time could also be turned into a distress if not for Cortina who controls the tactics.

「Reid!?」

It was a shout that resounded all over the cave.
Then a vibration from a thread on her hand conveyed only his voice to her.

『Not yet, just a little bit more』
「We don’t have that much anymore.
About how long will you need? 」
『Roughly 40 seconds』
「Make it 20!」

Although I would usually complain 『Don‘t mess with me』 but in this situation, I could understand why she needs it.
Claw attack, bite attack, tails strike, breath.
If any of those attacks is not prevented, it would have enough power to turn any of us into minced meat.
But Cortina precisely calculates the damage distribution, by timing the attack and blocks.
But the mental burden received by other members would be different.

That’s why I need to quicken up my pace.
Creating a trap to ensnare the monster on the wall with fine steel threads was my objective, which according to Cortina, would bring us closer to victory.

「Alright, I’m ready!」
「I was waiting! Reid――do it!」

It was the one order that I’ve been waiting.
Maria and Gadius immediately prepared to defend the attack.
Without losing momentum, I jumped from the area around the ceiling into the battlezone like a pendulum.

The dragon senses my presence and looked around.
But the momentum of my fall was much faster, allowing my attack reach the target first.
Mythril threads stretched out of my fingertips on both hands.
It strikes the evil dragon’s scales like an avalanche.

But even with my falling momentum, the attack didn’t really do much damage on the scales.
With my feeble strength, I won’t be able to penetrate its scales even with the Mythril threads.

I slip underneath the Evil Dragon and moved to the other side.
Feeling discomfort from my sudden attack, it prepares its claws in order swing towards me.

Following the momentum of my movement as I land, I immediately rolled on the rocky area to get away.
A claw attack was aimed towards that rocky area, but the attack never reached me.

Then suddenly, the left wing of the Evil dragon was cut off and falls to the ground.
The wing was in the opposite direction to where I landed.

Of course, there was a reason as to why this happened.
The real purpose of my attack was distraction, and the real purpose was to tie a steel thread from my arms to its wings.
Along with that is to divert its attack to where I was heading to, and using the Evil Dragon’s own strength to cut off its wings that was tied to steel threads.

「Guuurrrruuaaaaaaa!?」

The Evil Dragon screamed as it was assaulted by the pain that it had never felt before.
It then aimed its hatred towards me who was responsible for the trap.
After a short rampage, it then aimed its tail towards me to attack.
It is a smart move to avoid using its head or claws to attack, because its tail was on the ground, it might have thought that I didn’t set a trap there.
There’s also no possibility to set up strings on the ground.

And so I activated another trap.
I pulled down a net well-prepared in advance.
The spider-like web dropped from the ceiling in front of me.
The other end is entangled to a nearby a nearby rock that was fixed on the ceiling.

The Evil Dragon swings down its tail towards me without care.
The power of the tail could easily smash boulders bringing me along in the destruction.
But that attack was blocked by the net.
Needless to say, the rock where the net was fixed wouldn’t be able to withstand an attack that could easily crush boulders.
And so the rock was crushed and broke into pieces…… causing the ceiling to collapse.

This trap was also placed according to Cortina’s instructions.
It was up to me where it should be set up, but it seems like the setup was within her calculations.
The trap was executed beautifully……but it’s not safe here.
While barely avoiding the falling rocks, I regrouped with Maria and the others.
I won’t let myself die that early.
After all, there’s still one more tasks left for me to do.
