by fnovelpiaMy judgment that this place would be a miniature battlefield was quite accurate.
It really was.
Heroes and monsters fight together without alignment.
Screams spreading everywhere, magic exploding, injured people being carried away, priests busy healing.
But it wasn’t dangerous.
It was effective for the imperial family to gather warriors in the name of a festival.
There were some injuries, but they were only mild.
Among the fighting heroes, my party stood out quite a bit.
“I will stop it!”
Helena mainly helped those who were disadvantaged.
By blocking the front with that large, solid protection, it buys time for the power to be replaced.
‘Lucia is over there.’
Wizards and archers occupied high positions, and Lucia was in charge of intercepting flying monsters targeting them.
Running between buildings and killing flying enemies felt like acrobatics.
Since the environment was an environment, there wasn’t much the two could do.
Vivian, on the other hand… .
-pop! pop!
There was localized rain in the seas she was responsible for.
Rain made of lightning.
The vertically falling lightning bolt was actually supporting the sea surface.
“Is this the Vivian of the rumors? .”
Several of the wounded looked at her and muttered.
Standing on top of the supplies warehouse, she was busy defeating the enemy.
Flying type monsters were no help either.
It was handled automatically thanks to the summoning of an automatic interception magical entity, commonly known as ‘Cloudy’.
“But you’re not casting?”
“Have you at least learned the pass?”
“If Ian is a hero, he might be like that.”
No one suspected it was no casting.
Although he was superior compared to his experience, his firepower was still weak compared to A-level or higher wizards.
‘It’s only natural since I’m now a C-level person who passed the official exam.’
At the center of the beach, on the surface of the sea in charge of the SS-class wizard, a fire was rising.
There were no warriors approaching the area.
‘If you’re a wizard with blonde hair and a tan, Agni. ‘It’s been a while since I saw this guy.’
He is a wizard who specializes in fire and ranks first among SS-level wizards.
On the other hand, Vivian, who did not have that much firepower, missed a few monsters, and the nearby warriors took care of that.
I could see the entire battlefield from just one step away.
It is stable chaos.
I was willing to step in if necessary, but it didn’t seem necessary.
In the meantime, I organized the questions that came to mind earlier.
‘What on earth is a sea dragon? When will the first hero party come?’
Neither of them could tell right away.
Then another question.
‘Why are these things flocking to land?’
The first reason that came to mind was to attack humans.
It seemed the most plausible, but there was something strange about it.
Some monsters seemed to have the purpose of coming to land rather than attacking humans.
‘What if attack is not the goal?’
Can movement itself be a purpose?
‘or not. Maybe run away… ?’
If you’re running away from what?
I saw the sea beyond, where monsters were surging.
At some point the sky became dark.
The overflowing dark clouds look like they might spit out rain at any moment.
‘That… .’
The swirling waterspout was connected to the clouds.
The four waterspouts slowly rotated around something and approached this place.
The clouds in the sky also rotated.
Centered on the sea dragon in the middle of that waterspout.
It was as if the sea dragon was like the eye of a typhoon.
‘I was right to run away.’
A blue body shimmering like a haze was revealed above the foggy sea.
The scales all over its body were sharp and pointed even when viewed from a distance.
White horns that seem to have grown.
A sheath that seems to surround the neck like a cobra.
It resembles a snake with its fluid movements as if swimming through the air.
‘Sea dragon… .’
It is not a dragon, but rather something that should be called an Imoogi.
The object that the monsters feared flew steadily towards the land.
-Kooo… .
Could it be the roar of a sea dragon heard in the distance?
The air shook.
The wind is sucked in that way.
The other warriors had now discovered the sea dragon, but none of them could stop fighting.
However, some of the injured people stared at it with their mouths open.
“That’s the sea dragon the imperial family spoke of… ?”
“It looks like a snake.”
“You can win… I guess it exists, right?”
Nobody knows.
This is a type of enemy I have never seen before.
As if answering a question, Agni stretched out his hand and chanted.
“Prominence Tempest.”
This is magic I know.
The highest level of fire magic, with no comparison in terms of destructive power alone.
This is Agni’s special move.
It was developed to catch up with Sylvia.
‘At least it was enough to touch Sylvia’s toes.’
A fist-sized fireball shot out from his hand.
It flew like an arrow, scorched the air, and hit the sea dragon.
-Kwakwang!
Immediately after that, a huge explosion occurred centered around the sea dragon.
In the aftermath, the sea below the sea dragon was vaporized, briefly revealing the seafloor.
The storm of flames remained and tormented the sea dragon for a few more seconds.
“… … .”
The sea dragon appeared calmly inside.
As if nothing had happened, it flies back towards the dock.
Gray clouds rise into the sky.
The sea dragon flying leisurely below seemed like an apocalypse sent by the sea.
‘It’s so crazy… . Can’t even make a scratch with the firepower of an SS-class wizard? By the way, why is the wind still blowing…? .’
My mouth moved faster than I thought.
“Everyone, get down! Vivian! Helena! Lucia!”
At that moment, they were not far from me.
The fruits quickly sat down without even looking at me.
I didn’t have to lie down because Katy was pressing down on me.
Right after I put my head down on the ground.
-Kwagwagwang!
A gust of wind blew in and swept the dockside.
‘Breath… ? Should I say that?’
It was the wind that shot out from the mouth of the sea dragon.
In an instant, the dockside became a mess.
Should I say that it was fortunate that the monsters were swept away as well?
“That giant sea dragon is the target!”
someone shouted.
Afterwards, several warriors, including two SS-class wizards and an archer, launched attacks at the sea dragon at the same time.
Fire, electricity, water, ice, rock, etc.
All kinds of magic made of magical elements and arrows filled with mana rained down indiscriminately.
But the sea dragon did not flinch.
Most magic couldn’t even hit the sea dragon.
It was often blocked by the spinning waterspout as if protecting the sea dragon, and even if it was hit, the sea dragon flew away without blinking an eye.
‘Their own defense is too high. No matter how much firepower you use, you can’t win if you don’t have enough destructive power to pierce those scales.’
Because the firepower was dispersed, the monsters easily climbed onto the dock.
“What are you all doing! Defend the dockside first!”
As I walked around and shouted, only then did the firepower focus again on the dockside.
A few people recognized me and were embarrassed, but there was no time for that now.
Meanwhile, the sea dragon flew leisurely without being disturbed.
Even if you block the monster on the dockside, it is true that you cannot let it approach.
‘Isn’t it time to come?’
just as expected.
Somewhere far behind, I felt a familiar energy.
-Patsutsutsuzusut… .
Along with the sound of atmospheric moisture freezing, a wide ice slide appeared in the middle of the dock.
It was like the end of a rainbow made of ice.
-Chiiik!
A wizard with flowing navy blue hair appeared gliding on it.
Sylvia from the first hero party has arrived.
***
“I’m going to be late!”
Sylvia jumped out of the carriage.
It was too late to take the carriage anywhere near the front to the portal.
“I’ll be there first!”
“Silvia-!”
Ignoring the calls of the group in the carriage, I slipped on the icy road.
Originally, I had planned to go ahead of time.
However, due to monsters flocking from beyond the eastern part, time was delayed in clearing things up.
‘He said he didn’t know what a sea dragon was. ‘I don’t know what will happen.’
And Ian might be there.
Ian could get hurt.
Maybe I will die.
When I thought of that, my heart pounded so hard that it hurt.
‘Faster, faster… !’
Sylvia rushed into the portal without even checking her destination.
I was anxious.
For a moment, I wonder if it was belatedly designated as Galway.
When I quickly came to my senses, fortunately, the place I arrived at was the Galway Portal.
There is no room for complacency.
The messy dock overlooking it.
Something resembling a snake, both indigo blue and blue, splits the sky like a spring in the distance.
‘It’s a sea dragon.’
Immediately after waking up.
-Kwagwagwang!
A gust of wind blew in and swept the dockside.
It’s so far away and there are so many people.
Sylvia immediately found Ian lying face down.
“Ian!”
I shouted even though I couldn’t hear him, and immediately got on the ice road in a parabolic motion.
As I went, I checked and found that he was not injured.
I avoided it by lying down.
“Thank goodness… .”
It was heartbreaking to see Katy on top of him.
Sylvia looked away again.
Wide sea and dock.
Heroes and monsters were tangled at that border.
Sylvia’s sentiments were not serious.
‘It’s been a while since I was in the sea.’
widely!
The end of the ice rainbow.
As soon as I got down to the ground, people’s eyes gathered.
“It’s Sylvia!”
“It’s Sylvia from the 1st hero party!”
Sylvia took the lead, leaving behind the cheering people.
I could feel the warriors’ morale boiling over all at once.
“Hmm.”
Sylvia scanned the sea widely from left to right.
A sea dragon visible in the distance.
And countless monsters flocking towards us as if running away.
“That’s a lot.”
She jumped off the dock, holding on to the cane of a thousand-year-old tree.
For a moment, everyone was surprised by the sudden action.
She stood with a small ice cube just beneath her feet.
‘First of all, we must make the dock safe and stop the monsters. In this situation, this magic… .’
Sylvia warned the warriors fighting at the edge of the dock.
“Step back.”
Even though everyone felt suspicious, they retreated and cleared out the monsters.
Sylvia didn’t even blink when she saw the black shark that was just a stone’s throw away from her.
The jagged maw lunged at her as if it were going to swallow her up.
Sylvia looked indifferently and chanted.
“Ice Field.”
Cock.
The tip of the stick touched the surface of the sea.
Black Shark turned to ice and stopped.
It’s not just monsters that are frozen.
All the way to the horizon that can be seen from this dock.
From left to right.
From front to back.
The entire sea froze at one word from Sylvia.
