When the subjugation group left Lunéville and had walked for a while, they noticed snow falling from the sky
It was obviously the ice dragon’s h they were surprised that they were closer to it than they thought, none of them trembled
The subjugation group sent out scouts and advanced, waiting for the report
They decided to on at a spot not far from their camp
The fluffy snow gradually turned into so heavier and less refined
Since there was little wind and a lower temperature than usual that day, the snow accu that the first subjugation group had to combat it on a snowy mountain, this could be called exceptional conditions
Before long, a black object appeared in the sky above the quiet plain
“Mage group, prepare yourselves!”
The guildit out of the air with fire an to move
“Katia, I’ll leave it to you!”
“Un!”
Receiving Elivia’s support, Katia responded with a reassuring nod

The head of the onkin And since a branching line froon forons than others
When she heard that it was in Akradist, she made certain to not approach it as much as possible
When soon’s invasion, she spoke with her partner, Elivia
Elivia also didn’t intend to passively escape
She wanted to defend this town
Equivalent to when she said that she wanted to leave her hoth in the woaze said so

That was raison d’etre Katia’s parents placed on her life Katia’s wishes holly crushes by her house’s influence
—I decided to leave my house… Here, no one knoho I really am
Katia spoke to Elivia, inviting her to travel with her
Elivia didn’t feel significance in being attached to the federation arnizing her own strength, she wanted to go out and travel to find a place where she could make use of it
(I found that place, didn’t I?)
After casting down her eyes as her an to flood with sentiressive smile
As for the answer to Katia’s invitation, she had already decided before even being asked
“—Fast is the wind of swift sleep Clad yourself in the fla extinction to those before you”
“—Accuenitor whose fire is ”

“—Lights Out!”
“—Flame Breath!”
“—Blazing Destruction!”
Speed, range, power
Changing thethe ice dragon about in the air
However, dragons could be called rulers of the sky, and as such only a handful of the spells were direct hits
Even so, it was enough for the ice dragon to let out a roar in irritation It glided down froround
The snow that accumulated see what appeared to be a wall of pure white
The ice dragon was at a distance where it could be seen perfectly, one of its eyes and arms were injured It was clear by the way the cuts looked that they were not caused by ic
It was a happy roup, there were even people who s them
However, the real thing started from there
“Start the strategy! Do not fall out of ranks!!”
The guild iven by Fidel, the [Blue Sword] representative that was appointed as commander, as filled with tension All at once, everyone released their war cries and started their advance
As for the , they aiting for the other groups to pass
Katia exchanged glances with her partner that ran past her towards the ice dragon
—Good luck, it’s my turn next
—I’ll be expecting you
With their intentions mutually transmitted in that instant, there was no uneasiness in Katia as she watched Elivia’s back growing ever farther away
Even though it only had a single eye, since it didn’t just use sight to fight its ene like concentrate on a single side
The subjugation group advanced towards the front of the ice dragon Exactly as Ilya said it would, everyone saw it raise its head
“Defensive ic! Deploy!!”
The ic to defend the trailing troops from its breath
“Offensive roup!”
“A little longer… now!!”
They began to chant
“Defensive group, assault group, prepare formation and standby!”
“Mage group, invoke when the breath ends!”
The white pressing against the blue wall safeguarding theh the ice dragon roared, its attacks stopped

However, its trajectory shi+fted the instant before it hit and was only able to do was stop the group on its right
Its breath had been held back Having recognizing this, the ice dragon changed to using ele its breath This was it, it was time to end it
It roared at the front line
