No Damage 2

Test

2. Truly Immortal, Huh?

I received a skill from the goddess that 'absolutely prevents any damage'.

This isn't a daydream? Did I really acquire such a skill?

If that's the case, even if the opponent is the strongest demon beast—a dragon, there might be a way to deal with it if I don't take any damage.

Since it's a skill unrelated to attack power, I can't defeat it directly with attacks, right?

For example, nullify the dragon's attacks with the skill and lead it to an empty place?

Hmm, let's go to the scene for now.

This is the town where I was born and raised. So I have an attachment to it.

I don't want it to get destroyed by demon beasts.

—So, I arrived at the city walls.

Repeatedly taking hits from the dragon's claws and tail, the walls were riddled with cracks and in a shabby state.

It seems like a hole is about to be opened soon.

"Huh...? There are people—"

I spotted two girls confronting the dragon.

Perhaps they're adventurers who came to protect the town.

Come to think of it, the fleeing people were talking about the mayor contacting the guild.

Both of them seem to be around the same age as me.

They're a spirited girl with twin tails of golden hair and a gentle-looking girl with silver hair in a short bob.

Both of them were breathtakingly beautiful.

They're on a different level from classmates at school.

Or rather, it felt like my breath got taken away for real.

S-so cute—.

My eyes were completely fixated.

—While I was lost in admiration like that,

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the temperature around me explosively rose.

The heat scorched my skin.

I have a bad feeling about this.

When I looked up, the dragon peeked its head over the city wall, looking down on us.

Its mouth was wide open, splitting up to its ears.

Somehow, the inside of its mouth is glowing red.

"Hey, wa—"

The red light converged and turned into a pitch-black hue—.

It gets spat out as a mass of black flames!

"Ugh...!"

There wasn't even time to scream.

The dragon's black flames directly hit the city wall, creating a large hole accompanied by a bright flash.

The flames that entered the hole engulfed and consumed the surrounding area, burning everything in its path.

The girls from earlier were also swallowed by the flames.

And so was I—.

"Uwaaaaaah...!"

Hit directly by the jet-black flames.

Thrown off by a carriage, given another chance to live—.

In the end, am I going to die again!?

—No, that's not it.

Once again, an inexplicable confidence welled up within me.

No one can hurt me.

No one can hurt anyone.

No matter what kind of attack in this world.

No matter what kind of event in this world.

That confidence turned into unwavering conviction—.

With that conviction came forth a 'power' along with intense determination.

Something shining appeared before my eyes.

A pattern reminiscent of an angel spreading its wings.

Its vivid colors spread around.

A strange metallic sound resounded, deflecting the jet-black flames.

"...Nothing happened."

I was unharmed.

Not a single burn.

Not even a single one on my clothes.

It's not like the flames happened to miss me.

It wasn't a level of story where that would happen in the first place.

After all, the surroundings, the stone houses, the roads, everything had turned into ashes.

The flames undoubtedly hit me directly.

But, it seems that the mysterious light from earlier repelled them.

It's not a hallucination or a misunderstanding.

This is my power.

I'm sure of it.

"It's amazing... I really received the 'absolute no-damage skill'"

There's no other explanation.

Well, it's still too early to determine if it's truly 'absolute'.

At the very least, it means I have a defense that prevents damage even from a dragon's breath.

I can defend against dragon's breath. One of the strongest class of demon beasts in this world, this is quite something.

It wouldn't be strange if my skill was truly inviolable.

Alright, with this, maybe I can do it—.

Courage surged within me.

"There were still people who couldn't escape, huh?"

A voice came from behind.

Turning around, the girls from earlier were running towards me.

They seemed to be unharmed despite appearing to be swallowed by the flames.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay? Weren't you caught in the dragon's breath?"

"Yeah, somehow."

Saying that, I looked at the two again.

Up close, they were still incredibly cute.

And their features somehow resembled each other.

They're probably sisters.

Both were dressed entirely in black, with tight-fitting outfits under skirts and black robes on top.

By the way, both of them had large breasts. gulp

"Are you really okay? You were right in the path of the dragon's breath, weren't you?"

Indeed, the two were right in front of the dragon.

I saw them getting engulfed by the breath of flames—.

"Alice protected us with ice magic."

The golden-haired twin-tailed girl said casually.

"I'm in charge of defense~. By the way, Lilith-chan is in charge of offense."

And the silver-haired girl with a short bob said.

It seems the one with the golden hair is Lilith, and the one with the silver hair is Alice.

"Hurry and run. We'll take care of it."

"Take care of it—"

"Oh, are you underestimating us just because we're B-rank! It might not be the rank to fight against dragons for sure, but—well, there's no other choice. There were no other adventurers available to protect the town."

"Even if we can't match his strength, we want to be a force to protect the townspeople~"

Lilith and Alice declared their respective determinations.

By the way, adventurers have ranks, with S being the highest and E being the lowest, divided into six levels.

I've heard that only S-rank adventurers can fight against the strongest magical beasts like dragons.

In other words, they're facing an opponent far beyond their level.

"So you should run. Once the city walls are breached soon, the dragon will surely destroy the entire town."

Lilith warned.

"Run away?"

No.

I'm going to protect the town.

With this skill, somehow—.
