episode_0123

A large snake rising into the sky with water.

No dragon.

“Father, that is…”

“Afrieh now!”

“Ah.. Yes!”

Afriye was momentarily distracted by the sight in front of him.

It responded well to my voice.

It was worth preparing in advance.

Using the magic power he had accumulated in his hand, he collided with the laser that was about to pour out of the dragon’s mouth.

Boom!

The two magical powers created a tremendous impact and devastated the surrounding area.

“Be careful! Because Bella is still in the sky.”

“Yes! I know! And Bella will avoid it, so don’t worry!”

Hearing those words made me even more worried.

It feels like I’m going to blow Bella away by saying it was a mistake.

“Ah!”

“Why?! Did you really blow away Bella?!”

“No. That’s not true. That earthworm. It’s much stronger than we expected. I don’t think my strength alone will be enough. So.”

I immediately realized what Afriye’s eyes were pointing at and took out the Shinigami Rod from my inventory.

He wrapped the black flame around the Shinigami Rod and swung it wide.

Huh.

A black semicircle is drawn in the air.

It flies quickly towards the earthworm, or dragon, floating in the sky.

Suddenly.

-Kwaaa!!

“Damn. It was a little shallow!”

I got hit slightly.

I saw that he twisted his body right before reaching the dragon’s body, allowing only the minimum amount of attack.

It was definitely not an easy opponent.

Considering the size, I expected it too.

This guy was a castle.

It’s not an Imoogi that has undergone considerable training, but a real dragon.

There was no way to defeat the real dragon with our current power.

“Aprie, run now..”

“No! The dragon’s blood is boiling. You can’t run away from here! Here we go!”

Afrieh took out the wings on her back and flew up into the sky.

A gust of wind blew a little sand dust into my mouth and I gulped.

Afrire was in no condition to care about me right now.

Was my instinct stimulated?

Or is it because he wants to fight the real dragon that invaded his territory?

To me, it looks like it’s just instinct warning me.

“Apriye! be careful! If that’s a real dragon! I’m going to use a trick!”

“I understand!”

warned.

Now Afree will take care of it.

I went to the landing spot where Bella would fall.

“Are you okay?”

“Master.. I’m fine.. I just drank a little water.”

“It looks like that. Come on. I’ll beat you up.”

“Ah, no… it’s okay…”

I ignored her words and patted her on the back.

Cough! Cough!

The more he tapped, the more water came out of his mouth and his expression became a little more relaxed.

“How about it?”

“Phew.. I’m okay now. Master. But… will it be okay in Afri?”

Bella was worried when she saw Afriye fighting a dragon in the sky.

She clashed with a dragon, albeit briefly.

I know how powerful the dragon is. It was natural to be worried.

That worries me too.

“There’s nothing we can do now. First, let’s contact our companions.”

“No. This incident happened because of me. So you can’t get help from others.”

That’s not it.

To be exact, it wasn’t because of Bella, but because of Afrië.

If Afrieh hadn’t said he would follow me here, there would have been no chance of something like this happening.

I don’t want a fight to break out if I say it.

I locked my mouth.

“Then what are you going to do? It wouldn’t be possible on our own…”

“Master? Did you come up with any method?”

I nodded my head slightly.

A method came to mind. However, it was quite dangerous.

If I were not careful, I could have died.

“Even if you use this method, there is no guarantee that the dragon will fall. Instead, you can buy time.”

“That’s enough. Let’s retreat for a while, then plan again and attack.”

Yeah, that would be nice.

I immediately explained the strategy to Bella.

“..now..is that true?”

A puzzled look on his face asking if that was possible.

“It is possible. If you just follow what I say.”

“…Okay.”

In the end, after receiving permission from Bella, we moved to the place where Afrie was fighting.

*

“Young dragon. Why did you invade my territory?”

“..Can you speak?”

“Of course. I am a real dragon who evolved from a dragon into a dragon after a thousand years of training. Human language is not difficult.”

At the dragon’s words, Afrie narrowed her eyebrows.

Using human language.

It was like saying he had intelligence beyond imagination.

There was nothing more troublesome and difficult than fighting a highly intelligent counter.

‘That’s why my father is in danger…’

However, Afrido could not back down.

“You are not backing down. If you fold your wings and run away even now, I will pretend not to see you.”

“…What?”

Telling a dragon to fold its wings means.

I was saying that no matter how hard I tried, I was no match for someone like you.

In short, it was the same thing as swearing without a single swear word.

“How dare you say something like that in front of me.. I can’t forgive you!”

It explodes with magical power and its appearance changes.

From a child-like appearance to a mature adult.

Thanks to this, the clothes I was wearing were slightly torn.

In no time, I recreated my clothes as a hallucination and put them on.

“Is it a hallucination? I’ve heard of it. A hallucinatory dragon that is said to be used only by the highest-ranking dragons. But maybe it’s because I’m still young and immature!”

The dragon had no intention of leaving Afree, who was changing as she radiated magical power, still.

It dug into the gap it had exposed and released its breath from its mouth.

“Are you the only one using breath? I do it too!”

Breath is created from the dragon’s mouth and from Aprie’s hand.

There was a big crash.

The clouds disappear and strong vibrations sound in the sky.

Animals resting on the mountain fled, birds flew away, and the forest turned into a completely quiet forest.

“Ha.. ha. it’s crazy. I put in more than half of my magic power… but it’s fine.”

“Of course. Because I am a real dragon, different from the fake Imoogi you have dealt with so far.”

“You said it was really real earlier.. What kind of car is this!”

“As expected, you have no manners because you are young!”

Magic power gathering in your mouth once again.

‘If you use Breath again, me too.’

I put my hands together and tried to create a breath to counter the breath.

‘No… I don’t have enough magic power.’

This was a place overflowing with magic.

Due to the explosion a little while ago, the spring at the source disappeared entirely.

Now, we can’t receive an infinite supply of magic power. Although there is a potion in the inventory.

There was no time to drink.

The remaining magic power is only about 40%.

The same breath as before cannot be fired.

then.

A space of skill revelry!

A transparent space surrounded by surroundings.

“No matter what you do, you can’t beat me!”

“I think so too. So I’ll fight in a different way.”

Afriae does not fight silently from the front like other stupid dragons.

No matter how good your defense is, if you allow an attack, it will eventually break through.

So, I had to use my head.

Coincidentally, the Afrië race was the most intelligent among the dragons.

I created a route by constructing dozens or hundreds of images in my head.

‘This isn’t the way to go. As soon as this starts, I die. other way..’

Thanks to that, I didn’t blindly rush at my father like other stupid sisters.

Little by little.. little by little.. I was narrowing the distance and establishing a route for the path that I would choose one day.

‘found. ‘Only one route.’

“It’s over now!”

“No, it doesn’t end! This earthworm!”

Afrieh released the magic power he had been gathering in his hands.

“Have you given up!”

“Give up? Who said they gave up!”

I didn’t give up.

Because this is the only way to win.

‘please…’

Afrieh closed his eyes tightly and put his hands together and prayed earnestly.

‘aka prayer meta!’

If you pray, he will hear you.

“Afriye!”

“Here!”

I knew it would come too.

I believed it.

Afrieh dived toward the place where the sound was heard.

Although the dragon also descends after him.

It’s already late.

Below, Bella and her father were already getting ready.

Huh-!

Just like before, a black semicircle is drawn in the air.

“Same attack as before! You probably didn’t think I would be right!”

“Of course not.”

Your father must have something in mind too.

Now I had no choice but to pray.

“Bella, now!”

“Yes!”

An air bubble created with Bella’s magic.

It wrapped itself around the dragon and prevented it from trying to escape in another direction.

“You can’t stop me like this! Zen law whirlwind!”

The dragon’s mustache shook, creating a strong whirlwind.

The air bubble cannot withstand the strong wind of the whirlwind and bursts with a popping sound.

“Sorry, I was aiming for that.”

“What..!”

What was put inside the air bubble was not air, but anti-slip slime.

You know this because I attacked you earlier. Even with a higher-grade Shinigami Rod, it was best to just cut off the dragon’s scales a little.

The reason was that a slimy secretion was gushing out of the dragon’s scales so that it could not be easily scratched.

I erased the discharge with non-slip slime.

“Now you can avoid it if you want to.”

However, the dragon covers such a large area.

No matter where the attack occurred, the wound was fatal.

Huh!
