I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title]

“Lightning Burst!”

As I approached the dragon demon, I dropped enough lightning from above to make it invisible.
Of course, there was no way that the lightning magic I had quickly prepared while moving would be effective enough to damage this thing.
However, the purpose of this magic is not to damage him.

“Shrink!”

I ducked back into the bosom of the dragon demon tribe which the lightning was raining down on, bathed in lightning magic for the purpose of attacking with the magic power Sophie transferred.

“Ha!”

“Guba…”

Again I struck the sword that was still stuck in his body.
This time, he flew backwards so that it didn’t kill him and the sword went right through the dragon demon’s stomach.
The purpose of the lightning earlier was to disable his sight and hearing.
This guy probably doesn’t use any sensing skills.
I knew this as soon as I observed it.
He has a keen sense of sight and hearing, so he usually doesn’t need any special sensing skills to find out where I am.
This time, I took advantage of that.

“Gaaaa…”

And while the dragon demon spat out blood, he opened his mouth wide and tried to release flames.
So I punched him in the lower jaw to make him close his mouth.
My fist burned badly and I lost feeling, but it was healed by Sophie in an instant.

“Haaaa!”

The sword the dragon demon was stabbed with is located a little to the right of his lower stomach.
I grabbed the sword with my left hand and swung it upwards to the right as hard as I could.
I’m going to cut the demon in half.

“Guh!!!”

Little by little, but surely, the sword was moving up to the right, slicing through the belly of the Dragon Demon.
I was watching him closely to make sure he didn’t make a move to escape, when he grabbed my shoulder.
My shoulder was quite hot, but I ignored the sensation.

“Gaaaah…”

Then the dragon demon opened its mouth wide near my face and was about to release flames.
He grabbed my shoulder to keep me from escaping.
I’m not going to leave until it’s settled no matter what he does, so this is convenient.

“Shineeeee!” (Die!!!)

As he said this, he fired a laser about 30cm away from my face, about the size of my face.
But this guy seemed to have forgotten an important thing.

“Ga?”

His laser is also classified as magic.
If that’s the case, I can cut it down.
I don’t know if it was always that way or if it was because my magic slashing skill level went up, but the moment I slashed it, all the flames disappeared, including the ones it just prepared.
I don’t know if this guy was planning to release more lasers, but he froze with his mouth open, not knowing what had happened.
As he opened his mouth wide and defenseless in front of me, I honestly stabbed another sword into his mouth.

“Gaaaaa…..!!!!.”

The timing of the stab brought the dragon demon back to its senses.
This guy was biting down so that the sword wouldn’t pierce too deeply, and I could hear the sound of the sword and fangs scraping against each other.
But because I clenched my teeth, my body relaxed a little.
At that moment, I raised the sword that was stuck in his stomach with even more force.

“Haaaaa!”

“Gahhh…”

I slashed the dragon demon’s body from the right side of its lower stomach to its shoulder.
And yet, I still don’t hear any level-up sounds.
In other words, this guy is not dead yet.
In addition, the strength of his grip on my shoulder is getting stronger.
I put the sword that had sliced through this guy’s body back on the wound and swung it again, this time to cut his body in half.
It was as if his body was no longer strong enough and I could slash faster than before.

“Gah!”

But in a last stand, the Dragon Demon unleashed a breath of flame at me.
I prioritized stabbing it rather than slashing the magic.
I thought for a moment about dodging it, but I couldn’t because he was grabbing my shoulder and then I cut his body in half while taking the brunt of his breath.

“Picone! 』

“Your level has increased.”

“You are now at the maximum level.
Please select your evolutionary destination.”

I heard such an announcement while my whole body was badly burned by the dragon demon’s last breath of flame.
Of course, such a big burn was immediately healed by Sophie.

Sophia’s point of view

“No, Stop…”

“This is no good…”

I tried various ways to attack the main body through the body double, but all of them did not work.
Why should I put myself through all this trouble for this person in the first place?

“It’s faster to attack the main body directly from here.”

“Eh…”

Since it was too much trouble to go through trial and error, I decided to attack the main body while avoiding the elves that were with it.
I thought about what kind of magic would be best, but there were only so many ways to avoid elves moving around from a considerable distance.
If the magic was of that level, it wouldn’t do that much damage even if it hit the main body.
Then what…oh.
I forgot to try one magic that could attack the body through the double.

“Drain.”

“Ahhh…!”

Huh! The double and the main body share the same magic power, so it’s effective.
This magic that takes away the magic power seems to have an indirect effect on the main body as well.

“Onii-chan!”

It was at that moment that my brother killed the dragon demon.
I’m not interested in this doll anymore all if that has happened.

“Wait…”

“<>”

I burned up this double and rushed to my brother’s side.
It’s the best timing, because the status boosting effect of hugging my brother is about to wear off.
That’s my big brother.

“Zero onii-chan! Thank you for your hard work!”

I said with a smile as I ran up to my brother.
