224 # 211 Flying Lizard and Bukubukuburn.txt (1/2)

Drake's huge claws glowed and swung down. Is that a martial art!

”Black iron!

The evolved black iron stops its claws with its body. Even the quintessential dragon doesn't seem to be able to cut through the iron.

''Rolling Slash!''

”Ice Blade!

Lily and Ion attack from behind. But their attacks have stopped.

''Ka... hard...''

'　Lily, your tail is coming!

Drake's tail glows and swings, but Aeon's caution allows them to avoid it.

'Wah!　Safe!　Thank you. Aeon.

I'm afraid to fight back if I'm not careful.

Yeah. I'd have been in trouble if I'd eaten that tail.

The slope is gouged out by a blow from Drake's tail. It could be seen as an attack by Lily's dragon claw class.

Drake draws in a breath. Firebreath, right!

Waterwall!

A column of water appears and guards the fire breath. But once again, Drake takes a breath of air. A series of shots here!

Black iron, please!

Black Iron gets into a defensive stance and Drake's fire breath hits Black Iron. Black Iron takes some damage, but he defends himself nicely.

And Black Iron's counter-attack punches damaged Drake, who was hard.

At this moment, I could see the strategy of this battle.

But after being hit, Drake tries to fly away.

'Lilly!　Aeon!　Love fire!　Aim for the wings!　Don't let him get into the air!　Guilty Thorn!

I'll bind you with thorns, but it will only buy you time.

'All right!'

I'll take care of it!

Yes!

'Black iron is a close call!　Setia, I need black iron support!

I'm on it.

The three of them go for Drake's wings.

'Lily!　Aim for the base of the wings!　I'm going to match Lily's attack!　Love fire!

I got it!

'I understand!　Aeon Sis!

First, Lilly sets it up.

'I'm ready!　Dragon Technique!　Dragonclaw!

It hits the base of Drake's wings beautifully, but the wings are still intact. However, Lily takes aim at the spot where he attacked and ion from above. Love Fire uses his natural athleticism to climb the Drake and aim at the base of the wings from below.

''Ice Blade!''

'The bane of my existence!　Flash!

A coordinated attack by the three of them successfully chopped off one of Drake's wings.

The Drake is understandably pained and flails about. The restraints in Guilty Thorn are forcibly untied. But the objective has been reached and that's enough.

The black iron strikes and the damage is done, but a one-on-one match would be tougher than a stone.

'Lily, the hammer!　Aeon and Setia, water magic, love fire, go for the other feather and get their attention!

They all responded and folded up. I've tried a few of the conditionalities, but the paralysis, freezing, and poisoning worked, but they healed quickly.

No effect on diseases and such. They don't seem to let me win easily.

The seals are effective. I was able to seal the powerful blow of the claws and tail. The most effective magic was water and ice magic, so I'll focus on using it with Setia.

And just as Drake was about to use Fire Breath on me, I covered Drake's face with Water Prison, blocking his breathing and breath. This was a dead end.

As a result, Drake struggled to breathe, and while he was struggling to breathe, Lily and Black Iron battered him, and he ran out of power.

''I was able to defeat it~!

Everyone was delighted. It was a pretty gruesome strategy, but it meant a lot to us that we were able to beat it.

'Aeon's instructions were perfect!

Is that right?

Aeon says shyly and unsurely.

'It was awesome!'

'Yes!　Be confident!　Aeon Sis.

No, no, please!　Both of you!　Praise won't get you anywhere.

The two of them praised me, and while looking at the impatient Aeon, I thought about it. If Aeon is able to give accurate instructions to this extent, then to a certain extent, it's possible to leave it to her.

You can't just rely on big sister Aeon to do everything for you, okay?　Mr. Takt.

...Yes?

Setia nailed it well. It's good to trust and leave it to her, but it means you can't be lazy.

When I took that advice, the level up came. We took down a dragon without summoning a legion of stones, so we all leveled up.

Vocational Summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 1 status point.

Vocational Summoner's level has been increased. You have gained 1 skill point.

Now I have 61 skill points left. I've set my status points to agility value. Then dismantle it.

Flying Lizard Fang: Rare Level 6 Material Item Quality D+

Drake's fangs. Fangs that can easily chew through rocks. If used on a weapon, it has a high chance of being used for brutal fire and physical destruction.

Flying Lizard Skin: Rare Level 6 Material Item Quality D+

Drake's skin. Very hard, heat-resistant skin. If used in armor, it has a high chance of being heat resistant and reducing fire damage.

Flying Lizard Wings: rare degree 6 Material Item Quality D+

Drake's wings. Light, yet heat-resistant wings. When used on armor, it has a high chance of being heat resistant and reducing fire damage.

Ahaha. I've been asking Hephaistos and Wufu for a lot of good materials. Do you think we'll be able to make it in time? We'll discuss this later.

And Drake claims to be only a flying lizard... well, a dragon would normally have to use several trump cards to win.

His name wasn't a dragon either, and I had a feeling he was a different being. But he looked like a full blown dragon...

Exhaustion, but at the insistence of Lily and the others, we will continue our search. If a battle occurs, the condition is that they must be replaced without question.

Then the love fire suppresses its nose. The cause is the peculiar smell of hydrogen sulfide, unique to volcanoes.

When you smell this smell, you can't help but get your hopes up. And your expectations were not disappointed!

The hot springs spread out in front of you. First, secure the hot spring at the warp point. Now you can come to the hot spring anytime you want.

Every time Lily and her friends are curious about an unknown hot spring, the customary trap will be triggered.

Suddenly, boiling water gushes out of the hot spring and hits Lily and the others.

''Ah, it's hot!''

Lily and the others are sprawled out.

'That was a close one,'

Yes, sir.

Love Fire couldn't get close to them because of the smell, and they were safe because they were at my side. I used Rain to cool Lily and the others down and let them recover, but they were completely wary of the hot springs.

'What was that earlier?'

It's a geyser. It's a natural phenomenon that causes steam and hot water to gush out of a hot spring. It's harmless in the distance.

'Tell me about that kind of thing as soon as possible!

That being said, I wasn't expecting the geyser trap. However, it is hard to come here and not be able to get into the hot spring.

Then we found a pretty big hot spring. That's something Grey and his friends could easily get into. The problem is the temperature and the geyser.

I proceeded cautiously, using the black iron as an umbrella. Lily and the others didn't want to come, so I headed out on my own.

I arrive safely at the hot spring and check the temperature. Hmm, it's about the same as the one I usually take. The temperature was perfect. The problem is the geyser.

I get into the hot spring with my clothes on. As a Japanese boy, I'd like to go into the hot springs naked, but the game system doesn't allow me to do so. Well, with Lily and the others, nudity is a crime...

The first depth of the spa is about chest deep. Dive down to check the inside of the hot spring.

There is no deep part where a geyser occurs. It seems to be an ordinary hot spring. The deepest part is about my neck, so Lily and her friends might be in danger.

Come on, it's safe.

When I say that, Lily and the others come over here in fear. I'll be fine...Oh, since we're here, let's set up the warp point and summon Gray and the others.
