Mechanical Dragon.
It is a dragon-shaped weapon excavated from ancient ruins, similar to the giant soldiers, by the Cranzell Empire.
The total length easily exceeds twenty meters, making it large enough to compete with the thirty-meter-class giant.
The one controlling the mechanical dragon is Dolodra, a young dwarf who has been researching it along with Donna. Several people have tried to pilot it for testing, but he was the best at it.
"I’m off!"
A brave voice echoed from the speaker, and the mechanical dragon spread its wings wide. Immediately after, a fierce flame erupted from beneath its wings, and the massive body began running at incredible speed over the park.
Then, the mechanical dragon soared into the sky.
"That thing can fly all the way up to the sky!?"
"The model is based on a dragon. Flying is obvious."
Dona confidently explained to the surprised Selen.
The mechanical dragon soared through the air at high speed, then attacked the giant, which was walking slowly on the ground. As it passed, the sharp claws of the dragon slashed across the giant’s head.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!?"
Blood spurted from its head as the giant screamed. It quickly looked around in confusion, but the mechanical dragon had already flown up and disappeared from sight.
"I guess it never expected to be attacked from above."
"With that massive body, it makes sense."
Whether in confusion or due to the pain it had never felt before, the giant stomped repeatedly on the ground, thrashing about. Each stomp caused the earth to crack, and trees around it fell just from the wind pressure.
The mechanical dragon closed in again and fired a magical laser from a close distance.
The giant noticed the mechanical dragon just in time, but it had no chance to avoid the laser.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOH!?"
The laser cut through the giant’s body diagonally.
The giant, bleeding profusely, collapsed to its knees.
Even though the mechanical dragon was now fully recognized, the giant tracked its movement with its eyes. It quickly got back up and reached out, attempting to swat the dragon from the air.
But its arm couldn’t reach the dragon, which had flown higher.
The mechanical dragon continued to circle gracefully above the giant’s head.
"OOOOOOOH!!"
Enraged, the giant grabbed a rock at its feet and threw it at the dragon.
But the mechanical dragon easily dodged it.
The rock fell to the ground and created a small crater.
"OOOH..."
Maybe due to the circles the mechanical dragon was flying in, the giant staggered, looking like it was dizzy.
The mechanical dragon didn’t miss that opening.
From super close range, it fired another laser into the giant’s mouth.
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"
The laser cut through the giant’s mouth and exited through the back of its neck.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The giant, now dead, crashed to the ground with an earth-shattering sound.
"...It was taken down by just one machine."
"Yeah, that’s the power of the mechanical dragon."
"Th-There goes my turn..."
The mechanical dragon was that strong.
When the minister piloted it, he had used a trick to instantly teleport to the cockpit, which made it easy to neutralize... but now, it was clear how powerful it really was.
Moreover, Dona could apparently make these from scratch if she had the right materials.
I need to keep an eye on her to ensure she doesn’t start mass-producing them...
"Of course, you haven’t made any, right?"
"...Hah, of course not."
"Then what was that just now?"
Just then, the mechanical dragon returned. It landed above the park, and Dolodra got off from it.
"It was my first real battle, but it went well! I’m really looking forward to completing the new model that will be even stronger!"
"A new model...?"
"Ah."
Dolodra seemed to have let something slip and made a "whoops" face.
"Dona? Care to explain in detail?"
