Chapter 20
Ice Dragon
Right outside the town, you couldn't help but notice the dragon
On the meadows lay corpses, corpses, corpses
Members of the militia or the firm's combat slaves
They fought with their lives and met that terrible end
”Bertrand, fall back We're so to take care of the rest,” Blackie shouted to Bertrand-san as co the combat slaves
Bertrand-san looked towards us, who had formed an impromptu party
Only when his eyes fell on Till, they widened for just ahad happened
”Solt Can you defeat it? That thing?”
A winged, four-legged reptile
Not that I know if it can really be categorized as a reptile
Anyways, it looks ferocious
It had one horn and a mouth so wide it seemed it could s an elephant whole
Itsscaled that seemed to let no weapon pass
The tail growing froave felt like it could smash a house with one swipe
That huge body was so claws around that seeh metal
And to begin with, it was just big
It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that the difference in mass was also the difference in power
There was no way it didn't scare you
That was a dragon
”If we don't do so to die,” Blackie replied easily and dreo daggers
”You can talk Miss You're not going to fight, too, are you, Miss?”
”Bertrand-sas I want to protect, too”
”Hmm Itht of foolishness I shall take the combat slaves and help the evacuation”
”Please do”
Did he notice when to pull out because he was a merchant?
Both Bertrand-san and I had questions anted to ask the other, but noas not the time
After the coon, Bertrand-san jauntily withdrew to the city
The coht with bows, so their withdraift
I had no idea how effective they were against the dragon, but they surely must have annoyed it
And thus, only ere left in front of it
”———”
I looked at us and the dragon
When it laid its snake-like eyes on oosebumps
Level 1 Ice Dragon
The enemy's Status floated in front of my eyes
”An Ice Dragon da for one”
The deep blue scales were exactly right to call it an Ice Dragon
But that being said
”More importantly Level 1?”
So things?
”In the end, levels are nothing but an indicator how trained you are for your age It's pointless to pay it too much heed”
Eh?
What's that all about?
”Here it comes!”
Blackie's voice was strained
After watching the situation for a while, the dragon finally made its move
First, an attack with its tail
It roared and swung around that deadly weapon thicker than a tree
For the dragon, itthe waters, but for us, it wasn't funny
Getting hit by that mass would turn us into minced meat at once
not that I want to iine that
I juht away
Till escaped into the sky
——However
”Take that,” Blackie ordered Ilya
Don't be stupid!!
””
Ilya obediently stepped forward
”——With this body, I shall become a shi+eld for all Ancient Field!”
Ilya's body rapped in green light
”Hoh so the lass was an ancient dragon”
In front of us, Ilya was hit by the tail that alone was ht
It was so overwhel, I couldn't make a sound
But the surprising thing happened then
Ilya——stopped the tail
”———”
The shi+ning, green barrier -like thing stopped the tail in place
The wind pressure fro that massive attack almost blew me away
Although the person who stopped that attack in the first place didn't even take one step back
Ilya a
”But like this, that lass,”at Blackie
That Blackie on the other hand had taken Ilya stopping the attack for granted and already charged at the dragon
He on showed as its attack was stopped to slash at its abdomen
”Tsk! Hard!”
Only aout and there was no indication he had dealt the dragon any dae
Blackie, who could be squashed under the dragon, promptly retreated behind Ilya
””
I was annoyed
”Split the heavens and becoht, to strike my enemies! Thunder!”
Then how about ic?
My Thunder directly hit the dragon's huge body
”GAHHH!” it screaony
It worked a bit?
”Hood affinity to it, Alice”
”Hey, don't just look on and do so, Till! You could easily defeat it, couldn't you?”
”Libra is behind this, she will surely have a counterainst one——but fine”
Like going up the stairs, Till took to the skies
At the saht
Till's incantation!
”Third winter sending the world to de demonic ice to end it all———Fimbul!”
Being able to see that mana, it probably scared me the most of all of us
Another order of nitude, meant exactly this
Earlier, Till had rained snow on the entire town But it probably simply wasn't an option for Till to turn the whole town into ice
The ic Till had chanted was funda
Anyone can understand that
But it wasn't just a difference in the ic, her basic mana was terrific, too
And that's what I sensed
That ht a storm, becaon
It even froze exhaled air, an absolute zero not even allowing you to breathe
If you take that attack, you won't get away for nothing
I understood why she made me leave shi+on-san's party and form one with her
Get dragged into that, and you'll die
No doubt about it
”Eh?”
I had overesti firepower
Had thought the fight was over
But the Ice Dragon's body rapped in blue light which intercepted——no, absorbed Till's ic?
I even thought it grew even bigger, ic
No, it wasn't just er!
