Kim Do-jin gained a small insight from Irina’s words trying to comfort him.

‘Yes, that’s right.’

If you make it this difficult for the other person to get to you, you can just invite them here.

But how?

I look around with worried eyes.

‘He’s watching us.’

Every step along the way, strong traps are created and milestones are disappearing.

This is proof that the cunning dragon is aware of their appearance in real time.

I was curious.

‘How on earth are they monitoring us?’

A world where visibility is difficult even with my own eyes due to the fierce snowstorm.

What exactly is it?

Among them, the medium that becomes his eyes or something equivalent to it.

It wasn’t long before I found the answer.

‘eye.’

Pure white snow spread all over the world.

Aren’t these eyes, which block their path, cause them to lose their sense of direction, and swirl around, a perfect replacement for that guy’s eyes?

Moreover, this snow did not accumulate naturally, but was created by him using his magic power.

Suddenly, a magic thought passed through my head.

Familiar.

If it is the magic that tames small animals as familiars and uses them for scouting purposes.

What if all the snow falling from the sky and accumulating was nothing more than his familiar?

‘There’s a lot of potential.’

Beyond possibility, he was almost certain.

I thought again.

‘If only I could get rid of this eye…’ .’

Wouldn’t it be easy to get to him?

But I soon stopped thinking about it.

‘It’s impossible.’

The snow piled up in this world is clearly a trap that this guy has been building for decades.

To get rid of all those eyes, even if you collapse hundreds of times from exhaustion of magical power, it is impossible.

I changed the direction of my thoughts.

‘Then let’s use this eye in reverse.’

Strictly speaking, the snow that falls here is only a substitute for his vision, and cannot be real snow.

To put it more accurately, this is the energy used by warriors who have reached the highest level.

An advanced form of art that spreads the magical energy within the body like a net around the surroundings to quickly detect the presence of the opponent.

It will be broader, more detailed, and clearer.

But it also cannot replace the eyes.

Because you’re not seeing it directly, you’re just picturing its shape in your head.

Of course, the shape is so clear that it is not much different from what you see with your eyes.

‘There’s enough room to dig in.’

If you dig into the part about substitute products that are infinitely closer to the eye, you can use them as much as you like.

For example, they make great replacements that can be fooled into thinking it’s them.

And there are great people in that area.

After gathering his thoughts, he immediately gathered people together and spoke.

“Shall we do a play?”

Everyone here is the main character, and the only audience is their eyes.

* * *

Irina Borisovna Orlova.

Those who watched her fight before their eyes all raised their thumbs up and spoke.

‘It’s beautiful.’

It is not because of her face or body that is both beautiful and strong.

Because the art she shows itself makes people feel beauty.

Someone else says this.

Her ice is alive and moving.

Ice is essentially a substance that is hard and cold, but has no flexibility at all.

But the ice she creates is different.

If you make a bird, it will move in perfect imitation of the structure of a bird, and if you make a human shape, it will operate smoothly, following the principles of human movement.

Of course, it takes quite a bit of time to draw such a delicate shape, but whatever.

A dragon looking down at me with eyes filled with indescribable anger.

“Look over there.”

Show it to the guy.

The identity of what I firmly believed was me and Old Man Merlin.

A look of embarrassment appears on the guy’s face.

“… Ice?”

“Yes, it’s ice.”

From the moment we decided to use his gaze, Irina and I started sculpting.

The target is me and old man Merlin.

I went through a lot of trial and error.

In order to properly fool the guy’s senses, an error of even 0.1 mm was not allowed.

“You don’t know how hard I worked.”

“Um… , it was one of the most difficult moments in my life.”

Irina agrees with what I say.

Walking during the day, carving at night.

After working on it for a few days, we finished it.

An ice doll that looks exactly like the real thing.

We then planted a piece of Gluttony there, synchronized the body, and filled it with our magical energy.

And we hid.

All the snow was dug out and covered in dirt so that the guy’s eyes could not reach it.

After that, as you can see.

“Wow, it was so cold that if it had been just a little longer, I would have frozen to death.”

Still, it was worthwhile.

That’s right, the person we’ve been looking for suddenly appeared before our eyes.

Clap clap!

It catches the attention of the party members who applaud and cheer.

“Okay, now the play is over.”

Since it’s so busy, I’ll skip the closing ceremony.

“Ready for battle.”

Change your stance quickly.

A play is ultimately a tactic to attract the opponent.

Because it’s real from now on.

Grumble

Momentum is rising.

The anger they felt as they rolled around in the snow over the past few days actually became their strength.

The dragon’s anger in the face of humans’ fierce force also intensifies.

“How dare a human being deceive me… !”

I’m sick of it.

Why do all the monsters that can communicate with each other use words such as ‘human subjects’ or ‘humans etc.’?

It’s about losing every day.

I tease him to make him angry.

“Your dad was killed by that person too.”

“This guy… … !”

A fire of anger rises in the center of the sky where a fierce snowstorm rages.

The intense heat felt even though it was over 100 meters away.

I am relieved by this.

“Fortunately, it is a red dragon.”

At least one dealer won’t become useless.

Crrralala!

The guy who cried out loud at the sky shouts coldly.

“Nothing changes just because the battlefield changes.”

In an instant, hundreds of ice blocks the size of a human head are aimed at us.

“You guys die here.”

As soon as I finished speaking, hail poured down.

When Jooyeon tries to cast a shield, Old Man Merlin casts a spell one step ahead.

「Twisted Space.」

A huge hole is created above our heads and some distance away.

Hail is sucked into that hole and piled up on the floor through another hole.

As expected, old man Merlin.

I heard it was worth bringing you here.

“Go first.”

With a short signal, Irina soars.

Large wings made of ice sprout from her back and flap.

The cold gaze and the tip of the sword are aimed at the enemy.

「Cold anger(холодный гнев).」

White frosting energy on the sword.

With one swing, the cold sword comes out and flies towards the enemy.

Wedge!

The dragon’s mouth opens.

Is it breath?

Take a moment to think.

Instead of a strong flame, the guy poured out cold words.

“Disappear.”

As soon as the words are poured out, the surrounding magical energy moves without control and attaches itself to the flying sword.

Then something surprising happened.

The magic power that had been tightly packed in the form of a sword began to disperse.

“… … !”

Geomgang disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was amazed at the amazing sight.

“What on earth just happened…? ?”

“The dragon spit out an unknown word and the sword disappeared.”

“Ho, is this magic unique to dragons?!”

No, wait a minute.

“… Did you just say it was an unknown word?”

When I ask Old Man Merlin, he answers in an excited voice.

“Okay. This is my first time hearing it. Have you ever heard of this?”

“… … .”

This is a word I’ve never heard before.

It wasn’t for me.

Didn’t you say ‘disappear’?

While I was embarrassed by the unknown gap between him and me.

“Ha!”

Irina’s fierce attack continues.

「Blizzard(метель).」

Dozens or hundreds of pure white swords pour out, disturbing the dragon’s vision.

I can’t help but feel admiration.

I can’t believe that he can extract so much sword steel, which already consumes a lot of mana.

But it was meaningless.

“Break down.”

As he spoke, the swords swirling in all directions began to break apart at will.

Awesome!

Pow!

Quad deuk!

Irina’s eyes widen as if torn when she sees this.

If the attack was of that scale, she would have carried out the attack at great risk.

Since such an attack was blocked with just a single word, it had to be that way.

The dragon, who has regained his self-esteem through successive victories, coldly mutters to Irina.

“Fall.”

The same thing happens when the sword disappears.

The magic power flowing around her responded to his words and moved as it pleased, attaching itself to the ice wings growing on her back.

Pajik!

Wings that melt away in an instant.

“No… !?”

she falls

Just as he declared a moment ago.

I launch my body and head towards the spot where she falls, and when she arrives right in front of me, I embrace her in my arms.

Pow!

“Keuung.”

No matter how superhuman you are, it’s not easy to catch someone who falls from the sky.

She asks me as she is held in my arms in a princess hug.

“How did you get some information?”

It was a move that had been planned in advance.

She takes the initiative and attacks, while I watch from behind and identify weaknesses.

But unfortunately, the weakness was not identified.

However, I learned one thing.

How does that young dragon use magic, or rather, his own power?

“That guy seems to be handling words.”

What to say.

He seems to have learned to the extreme how to put power into his words to make up for his own shortcomings.
