episode_0133

With Sylvia’s low muttering, the staff stamped the surface of the sea.

“Ice Field.”

Time seemed frozen.

The sight of the infinitely flowing sea turning into ice made me feel that way.

All of the sea visible from the dockside was completely frozen.

It was a horrifying sight, and even absurd.

The phenomenon of freezing the sea was like that.

Someone muttered absentmindedly.

“Wizard of Disaster… .”

As she said, her magic was a disaster.

Outside of human scope.

“Wow!”

The warriors cheered.

It was so loud that the frozen sea shook.

But it was not a time to be at ease.

It was not frozen all the way to the bottom, but only the surface.

Also, the sea flows.

This ice cannot last forever.

Flying monsters are not affected.

Sylvia shattered the frozen Black Shark with one swing of her fist.

‘It’s about time.’

As expected, cheers erupted again from afar in the back.

A colleague has arrived.

1st warrior party.

Imperial rebellion, attempted murder of the royal family, murder, and embezzlement of donations.

And, even the betrayal of Philip, who raised him.

Although they have received all kinds of notoriety, they were once heroes.

A living history that monopolized the expectations of all the people of the empire and represented their hopes.

It was a situation worthy of cheers just for its symbolism alone.

‘But I wonder how helpful the other three can be… It’s hard to look forward to it.’

Sylvia’s shoulders were heavy.

Thump, thump.

Kylie and Beatrice got down next to me.

“Everyone behind me.”

Aria spoke next from the center of the dock.

As she put her hands together and prayed, a protective wall rose up to cover the entire dock.

It stretched all the way to the sky, blocking even the approach of flying monsters.

“Is that a sea dragon?”

Kylie said, looking at the object approaching from a distance.

“It looks like a blue earthworm.”

Beatrice took out her bow.

For a moment, Sylvia felt the urge to look back.

I checked where Ian was earlier.

If you turn just right, you will find it right away.

‘… No, focus on the front.’

Everything has priorities.

‘Ian is always the most important in terms of priority, but… . Let’s be patient.’

I had to do my own thing.

I wish Ian would praise me.

Probably, that won’t happen.

“Kylie. Can you use ‘breathing’?”

“… no. Except right after Ian leaves, I won’t be able to use it at all from some point on. Still.”

“Is that so… . aria. What about ‘song’?”

Instead of answering, Aria shook her head behind the guard.

In the end, everything depended on Sylvia herself.

“The ice near the dock can be maintained, but there is no guarantee for the distance. Kylie, don’t go too far. Beatrice, you assist Kylie. The two aim for monsters still alive in the sea and monsters flying low.”

The two jumped forward without answering.

Sylvia saw a sea dragon and its waterspout in the distance.

‘You write something interesting.’

“Whirlpool, Cyclone, Up.”

The ice on the left and right sides of Sylvia broke, and sea water rose up like a whirlwind.

“I can do it too.”

Magic composition: multiple fusions and transformations.

Whirlpool, a water-type magic, and Cyclone, a wind-type magic.

It was Sylvia’s magic created by combining ‘Up’, a rock/wind type manipulation method.

The hole in the ice was filled again.

Sylvia sent a waterspout into the air and wiped out the flying monsters.

The dockside, which was now safe, became a spectator stand.

Aria’s protection was strong even near Sylvia’s waterspout.

Behind the protection, Vivian saw Sylvia’s magic.

‘this… . Sylvia… .’

The utopia that he had dreamed of so much and wanted to reach.

The first time I saw her magic was in the city of Fiorene.

Those dense ice spheres falling from the sky still remain vivid in my mind.

At that time, I was just shocked.

How could there be such magic in this world?

A simple ice spear can produce such power.

I was determined to work hard, but I was afraid.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to reach it.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch it.

That state.

But, it’s different now.

‘see… .’

It was difficult for her to explain what she was seeing.

She simply pursued Sylvia’s magic persistently, observed and thought about it.

How is something like that possible?

What should I do to do it myself?

Can you do it?

Looking at Sylvia, Vivian grew even more internally.

‘But, the amount of mana is ridiculously high… .’

Vivian also has a lot of mana and high destructive power compared to wizards of the same class.

However, compared to Sylvia, it was like new blood.

It was something that could not be helped.

Experience and amount of training are absolutely different.

‘What should I do? Mana is an element that cannot be replenished in a short period of time… .’

That was when Vivian was analyzing and worrying.

-Kwagwagwang!

A gust of wind shot out of the sea dragon’s mouth and struck Aria’s protection.

The pier shook, but fortunately the defenses were intact.

The frozen sea was slowly cracking from a distance away from the dock.

Sylvia shouted.

“Kylie! Beatrice! Come back and deal with me!”

-Kwakwang!

The sea dragon’s breath struck the protective guard again.

At the same time, a waterspout was also launched.

Sylvia dodged by throwing her body far away.

– Quad deuk!

A hurricane of water was rubbing against the protective barrier as if it were crushing it.

“Keuuk… .”

Aria groaned.

Sylvia quickly looked at Kylie.

“The ice will slowly break! Come back quickly now!”

Sylvia saw the sea dragon that was getting closer.

The sea dragon was quite high.

So much so that I had to shake my head.

-Tap, thud, paz i.e.

The sea broke from afar.

As underwater monsters pile up, the speed will become faster.

The monsters near Sylvia were frozen, but there were also many monsters that were alive and stuck in the ice.

“Beatrice. How are you feeling?”

“I’m barely holding on.”

“Just help me with one step.”

“Phew… . okay. I should do it.”

“You can shoot when I give the signal.”

Kylie and Beatrice stood behind Sylvia.

She looked at the sea dragon in the distance.

There are still two feet left of the waterspout rotating around the sea dragon.

“Kylie. Just block one shot.”

“Good. Let’s die.”

“Aria. Can you hold on any longer?”

Aria, kneeling at the edge of the dock, hesitated before answering.

“I’ll hold on… .”

“It will be okay even if it breaks. Because there are many warriors… .”

Sylvia turned around and moved her eyes quickly.

Vivian, Helena, Lucia.

Ian’s fruit warriors were watching them.

I was about to look at Ian, but I turned my head.

‘You won’t want to see me…’ .’

When I think about it like that, my heart hurts again.

-Crumbling… !

A waterspout rushed low, crushing the ice.

The target was obviously Sylvia.

Kylie quickly stepped forward and swung her sword with her left arm.

“Intake-!”

The waterspout split vertically and scattered to both sides.

Sylvia quickly erected several thick walls of ice to block the splitting waterspout.

Kylie, who was slipping on the ice due to repulsion, fell to her knees and fell to the floor.

The prosthetic hand was broken, and blood was flowing from the mouth.

It was a serious insult to her.

“Damn… . I’m done now… .”

“Take a break.”

Sylvia took a step ahead of her.

“Now I will do it.”

Sylvia secretly whispered.

“… Ian. I will protect you.”

It was a voice so small that no one could hear it.

After catching my breath, I slowly closed my eyes and when I opened them, a waterspout passed over my head.

The robe was fluttering and the navy blue hair was flowing.

It seemed as if her body would be sucked backwards, but Sylvia stayed upright.

-Kwagwagak!

Aria’s protection was broken.

“Aaaah!”

As if aiming for that timing, the sea dragon fired a gust of breath that had been loaded in advance.

If left as is, it would have crashed into the dock.

However, Aria, who had regained her composure, jumped in and was hit from the front instead.

“ Cleans… !”

The timing of deploying protection was late, and the damage directly hit the body.

Aria, who was caught in the waterspout and soaring, fell to the ground.

“Wow, big… .”

Monsters rush to the dock where protection has disappeared.

Now, Sylvia is left alone.

It was a race against time.

“Ice Bloom.”

A huge ice flower rose from the bottom of the sea, as if raising sea water.

It was as grand as a castle rising above the sea.

An ice castle shaped like a flower.

The ice petals spread out in abundance and swallowed the sea dragon.

“Close.”

I closed the bud again.

-Graaagh!

The sea dragon was writhing inside as if struggling.

It wasn’t long before the ice petals began to crack and break.

Sylvia added another sealing ceremony.

“Frozen Crystal, Anchor.”

A magic that attaches ice crystals to the target and seals them.

To that, an ‘anchor’, a type of rock, is added to increase cohesion.

Crystals began to bloom and stick together around the ice flower.

-Craaaagh!

The ice cracked due to the violent uproar.

The face of the sea dragon was revealed through it.

“Wind, up.”

Sylvia soared with the wind.

The destination of the trajectory is the head of the sea dragon.

“Ice Sword.”

The ice stuck to the staff and turned into a sword, and Sylvia fell and stabbed the ice sword into the sea dragon’s eye.

The sea dragon’s struggle intensified.

Sylvia held on tightly to the cane with one hand.

The skin on my palms feels like it’s going to tear, and my arm feels like it’s going to fall off.

‘You’re so powerful for once… .’

Gritting my teeth and holding on, I placed my other hand on the sea dragon’s nose and casted a spell.

A magic of the highest intensity that pours out all the mana raised to its limit.

Her best close combat skills.

“Ice Spear, Spread.”

A chant spit out as if chewing.

Blood flowed from my mouth, but I didn’t care.

-Poo-b-b-b-b-a-bak!

The ice spear of the shot that extended from the palm of the hand pierced the sea dragon’s face.

“Ugh!”

The struggle became stronger and I was thrown out.

Sylvia shouted as she flew through the air.

“Beatrice! now! I’ll upload it!”

“I’m ready!”

“Wind, up!”

Beatrice flew up on the wind.

Silvia falling and her ascending to heaven intersected.

“I will assist with the firepower! Please aim for the mouth!”

“Yes!”

Sylvia cast magic even as she fell.

It would be surprising if anyone saw it.

It is extremely difficult to perform magic without the body in place.

Just like mobile casting.

“Wind tunnel, fix.”

A wind path appeared in the path where Beatrice would shoot the arrow.

“Cohesion.”

Mana gathered together in the bow string.

A giant sword-shaped arrow filled with electricity was created in an instant.

Beatrice’s arm, which was pulling the string, was trembling.

It seemed like the prosthetic arm would break soon.

Still, I had to endure it.

-Craaaagh!

The moment the sea dragon opens its mouth to shoot out a gust of wind.

“Emissions.”

Beatrice held a protest.

“Gust.”

Sylvia cast a spell.

A gust of wind blew in the wind path, quickly leading the arrow to the sea dragon’s mouth.

-bang!

Unable to overcome the repulsive force, Beatrice’s prosthetic hand and leg burst.

At that time, Sylvia also fell to the floor.

Even as Beatrice fell, she used the hairpin to control her trajectory.

‘Follow the path of the body… .’

The swallowed arrow moved along the sea dragon’s long body.

It felt like my brain was burning out from the calculations that controlled the trajectory of mana.

“Keuuk… !”

Eventually, Beatrice vomited blood and lost consciousness.

The arrow that was going through the sea dragon’s body also disappeared in the middle.

Beatrice fell helplessly, rolled over several times and hit her head on the ice.

“Phew… .”

Sylvia woke up trembling.

Before I knew it, monsters had entered the dock.

The sea dragon that broke the sealing spell glared at Sylvia.

Around the sea dragon, a waterspout rose again.

Sylvia also created a waterspout in the same way.

“At least SS level boss… .”

‘It’s better than Jeriha, where you had to go through all kinds of monsters and face bosses, but it’s still hard to do alone… .’

The sea dragon’s waterspout and Sylvia’s waterspout collided head-on.

The ice floor shook.

The broken ice was caught up in a waterspout and scattered in all directions.

Even though sea water and ice fragments disturbed her vision and hit her eyes, Sylvia did not close her eyes.

‘You must never lose sight of the enemy. No matter what happens.’

-Crrr!

Along with the sea dragon’s cry, the surrounding wind became stronger.

The sky is filled with dark clouds and it looks like rain will pour down at any moment.

Sylvia thought as she caught the hat that was about to fly away.

‘I have to make one more move. To save mana, I have to use water.’

“Reverse… .”

The moment when you are about to cast magic.

-Grumbling!

The sea dragon and Sylvia’s waterspout, which were entangled and fighting for strength, annihilated each other and exploded.

The sharply spreading wind and water droplets obscure my vision.

The moment when Sylvia tries not to lose sight of the sea dragon with narrowed eyes.

A waterspout flew in from a blind spot, accompanied by a sound that swirled through the air.

“Ah… !”

It was too late to defend or avoid.

Sylvia was caught in the sea dragon’s waterspout and dragged high.

The sea dragon writhed in the air and hit her hard with its tail.

“Wow… !”

I was hit in the abdomen.

My internal organs were distorted and I spontaneously vomited blood.

‘It’s not over yet… .’

As she flew, Sylvia continued to think.

Thanks to the water droplets bouncing in all directions, making ice is easy.

“Ice Wall… .”

It condenses surrounding moisture and creates dozens of thin ice walls in the direction it flies.

-Let’s go! Let’s go!

The ice wall breaks and slows down the flight.

It also cushions the impact of a fall.

As soon as Sylvia was far away from the dock, she stood up and ran.

Jumping over the fragmented blocks of ice, I draw up the last of my mana.

‘If there’s this much ice everywhere, I could try using this.’

-Crrr… !

The sea dragon fired its breath at Sylvia, who was not yet dead.

A gust of wind tears through the air.

Sylvia escaped by throwing herself into the sea between the ice blocks.

-Gumbling… .

The sound of a gust of wind echoes submerged in water.

As soon as she dodged, Sylvia soared above the sea.

She rose like a fountain and muttered in the air.

“Ice Drake… .”

Sylvia’s unique creative story.

The ice scattered around quickly gathered and formed the shape of a dragon.

A dragon made of ice crystal glided towards the sea dragon.

The ice dragon that collided with the sea dragon broke into pieces again and scattered in all directions before falling.

It’s raining ice.

-Kiaaa!

The sea dragon groaned in pain and writhed.

“Ha, ha… .”

Sylvia walked even with a limp.

Still, the sea dragon is not dead.

“What should I do… It will work… .”

The sea dragon, which was fine despite the firepower thrown by the SS-class warriors, was on the verge of death.

Tattered scales on the face and entire body.

That red blood spitting out as violently as Sylvia.

There isn’t much left.

However, Sylvia did not know how to close the small gap.

‘Last, last… . What is there? That magic? But if I use it, even the dock will be a mess… .’

-Kruk… .

It was quietly angry.

The wind blows fiercely around the mouth with its fierce fangs exposed.

Even the blood leaking from the sea dragon’s mouth is being sucked into the mouth, as if a red whirlpool is gathering.

Soon the breath will tear you apart.

‘What do we do? Should I block it? With what? Or will they be caught off guard before the attack? how?’

Sylvia thinks as her knees tremble.

“Road.”

A cool female voice was heard.

Sylvia knew who she was, but didn’t have time to check.

Since she might be able to do it, she quickly laid a path up to the sea dragon.

Ice walls of different heights rose like stairs.

Riding it, a silver new model shot out like light.

She has golden eyes and holds two daggers.

Wearing a silent bell choker… .

-Poof!

In the blink of an eye, two swords were pointed at the sea dragon’s head.

-Crrr!

She returned the sword and pushed it deeper.

It pierces sharp, hard scales and tears through flesh.

Deeper, deeper.

A black energy crept up from her body.

-Krrrgh… !

She pushed down and pushed in, and when she couldn’t go any further, she pulled out, cutting from the sides.

The top of the sea dragon’s head was cut off.

‘That too was an artifact given by Ian… .’

moon and stars.

A pair of daggers named Gealach and Realta.

Long enough to be a dagger, but short enough to be an ordinary sword, it accepted two disparate mana and glowed in different colors.

There are some heroes I haven’t seen yet because I’m clearing out monsters, but most of them have.

Black mana blooming from the body of Kati, the woman holding this sword.

Those vivid cat eyes embedded in Kati’s eyes.

Even the cat’s tail sticking out from under the skirt.

“… … .”

Without saying a word, Kati sat on the sea dragon’s head and looked down at the audience.

Even though she was falling, she was proud.

Main Kati has appeared.

Her cat ears perked up in a way that did not match the situation.
