The ice dragon cut through the clouds and plunged headlong into the ground.

The rapidly enlarging white castle in front of me felt a little strange, and the air was filled with magic...... The magic of the world, full of wildness, is like a whirlpool of chaos that wants to involve everything.

But the ice dragon didn't slow down. Ignoring instinctive warnings, it roared and rushed down in a menacing manner.

It's not happy right now.

When it received Naria's plea for help, it was roaring and waving its claws at Inglis-Neff - that claw would never hurt the old man, and it would definitely be the unlucky one, but it just couldn't help it.

It originally wanted to ask the old mage to do it another favor and find Scott, but "good voice and good anger" was probably too contrary to the nature of a dragon, and after being slowly but unceremoniously refused, it began to rage without saying a few words.

There was a voice in its heart telling it that this was not right, that the old mage had helped it a lot, that it should thank him, respect him, be more polite, be more patient...... The other just wants to roar and upturn everything.

It had been to every place it knew Scott had been or might be, making everyone tremble before its fury, but no one could tell it where Scott was...... And it can't hurt any of them.

Anxiety and anger have accumulated into a dangerous volcano that must be vented...... And Inglis is clearly able to withstand it.

This reason does not take its anger for granted, and Inglis, nor is it Alan or Scott, who will forgive it for all its fearless willfulness. Iss had expected that it would most likely be taught a good lesson. There is even a faint hope that so...... It needs a heart-wrenching battle that can unleash all of its power and fury without fear.

But the little silver bird suddenly appeared on the tip of its claws, and squeezed back all its roaring rage.

Frozen for a moment in disbelief and embarrassment. It silently spread its wings and soared into the sky, the old mage's trellis creaked under the pressure of the wind, and many tender petals drifted away with it, and Mudd raised its eternally contemplative wooden face as if with some kind of sad reproach......

- Anyway, it's not happy right now!

"Is?!...... Hey!

Someone on the ground shouted in surprise, but it wasn't Naria. So the ice dragon decided to ignore it. It folded its wings and slammed straight into the castle, only to remember that Naria might be somewhere in the castle when it was about to hit it...... I can only roll around in embarrassment. It slammed into the front yard, then rolled over, flapping its wings, and another roar exploded like thunder.

In front of its eyes. The silver glow flashed brightly. Drill straight into the ground.

"Naria!" the ice dragon cried out in confusion, digging the ground, "where are you?"

"Don't worry...... She's alive. Someone replied leisurely, "So she didn't lie...... It's amazing. ”

The ice dragon lowered his head and glared at the woman in a white dress with black hair like a crow. It should have never seen her...... But for some reason, it feels familiar.

Maybe it's because of the aura she emanates...... Her power is of the same origin as it, which is extremely rare among humans.

"Where is she?!" the ice dragon roared at her, his tone not softening in the slightest. And slightly more vigilant. Humans with the power of innate power are dangerous, and they possess great power. The soul is often confused and restless because of this, and most of them are perverse and moody.

"A real dragon!" the woman didn't seem to hear at all, but just looked up at it, her eyes full of envy, amazement, and longing, "I thought the dragon had completely disappeared from this world......

She approached it, reaching out as if to touch it. The ice dragon spewed out a little chill in disgust and disdain, and raised its head.

"Let Narya go, I don't have to kill you. It spoke arrogantly, its half-spread wings covering almost the entire castle behind it.

"Stay, I can let her go. The woman smiled for tat, and there was no fear on her face.

The ice dragon jerked upright, then fell back to the ground, roaring and slamming forward with its long tail.

Powerful tremors spread from the ground to the ground, and dust and rubble fell overhead. Scott casually protected Ivy, the panicked little girl, distraught.

“...... Is?!" Naria cried out in surprise and jumped to her feet.

Of course it was Is—who else could have such great power but a dragon?

He should have avoided him...... But at this moment, he was even more worried that he would not be able to confront the unusually powerful female mage of unknown origin.

He is no match for her at all.

His gaze was cast again into the darkness overhead—if he destroyed it, the Black Gate would most likely disappear, and no one knew how long it would take to find it again, and if in the meantime, it would have been fully opened......

This world, which has been gradually forgotten by the gods, is powerless to resist such a catastrophe. That would also put his plans in a different way.

But......

Another tremor made his heart tremble.

"Naria!" he cried, "hide behind me." ”

Perhaps because of his unquestionably stern tone, the girl glanced at him and then dragged the two still unconscious elves behind him with him, and obediently hugged Ivy and crouched beside them.

Scott slowly raised his head, and as far as his eyes could see, the red flames were released like flowers, and the temperature of the ground quickly began to rise, and the surrounding demons shrank back, but did not flee.

Those creatures from hell...... They disappear in flames, but are not afraid of high temperatures.

The hot lava had turned black again when it fell, and the air was filled with smoke, and the girls were choking and coughing, and their breathing was getting a little shorter.

"Scott!" Naria cried out in a panic, "Stop! Sesyana is not breathing!"

The voice didn't reach Scott's ears.

Another heavy fall to the ground. The ice dragon roared in exasperation, trying to break free of the roses that had grown wildly and almost wrapped around it.

The tiny spikes on the rose branch could pierce even the scales that ordinary swords couldn't penetrate...... Not a serious injury. But its self-esteem hurts even more.

It knew that this woman would not be easy to deal with, but it did not expect that she would be so difficult. Looking at her laid-back smile, it is obvious that she is not using her full strength. But it's already made so embarrassing......

It hadn't even been able to touch her!

The cold breath swept through the green branches and leaves, making them instantly as fragile as glass, and the ice dragon shook its body vigorously, shook off the broken branches, and rushed towards the hateful woman again.

But in an instant, the woman who was not far to its left disappeared, and the scenery in front of it changed again. Philip Zeri, the pesky paladin was staring at it dumbfounded.

“...... !" Fili scolded rudely.

Beside him, a red-haired Tess bent over her knees. Laugh.

The ice dragon flapped its wings angrily, ready to look for the woman again. The ever-changing castle is a bit annoying, but it's not a big deal for a flying dragon.

"Hey! wait!" Filly rushed at it. "Take me!"

Tess was faster than he was - the little girl had jumped nimbly onto the railing of the hallway. Jumped up and grabbed its hind paws.

"If I fall, Sweetheart will be sad!" she yelled at it.

The ice dragon silently wrapped its tail around her waist and threw it on her back.

It owes her a flight...... It remembers.

Tess let out a cry and excitedly crawled along the ice dragon's broad back to its neck, completely ignoring the helpless paladin below.

Iss quickly found the woman. She was sneering and waving her hand to bounce away, slamming her hammer and slamming it down on her head. The big man seemed to have been smashed by another sledgehammer and fell far away, but quickly got back up. Roaring again, in the same pose. Perseveringly, he rushed up with a hammer...... Then disappear behind a wall that suddenly appears.

- I hope he doesn't get stuck in the wall.

Arrows of varying lengths kept shooting at the female mage. Norway jumped from one pot to the other to avoid the gusts of wind from the ice dragon that swept down, and the light crossbow in his hand did not stop for a moment. Lance Sunchaser stood farther away, his face gloomy, firing long arrows one after another.

"When the hell will you understand that this doesn't hurt me!" the mage finally began to get agitated, and white lightning slashed at the elf.

Norway easily avoided it, smiling slightly, the light crossbow still firmly aimed at her.

Although I don't know how these people got together...... They rushed to join the warband when the ice dragon was first pulled to the ground by the rose vines, often separated by the ever-changing castle. Iss thought they were just adding to the chaos—but now it had to admit that they had succeeded in getting the mage to get the mage to get her hands dirty.

A mage who can't concentrate, even if he has a talent that no one can match, will greatly reduce his combat effectiveness.

The ice dragon fell to the ground. The courtyard is too small for it to attack in the air.

The strange sensation under its feet startled its heart—the ground was heating and seemed to be softening...... What kind of spell is this?

The white vapor of water rose up like a mist.

"It's hot, it's hot!" Tess, who had just jumped off the ice dragon's neck, shouted and jumped up again, and rushed to the well fence to the side.

The temperature on the ground was getting higher and higher, and everyone began to jump higher, but the female mage looked as puzzled as everyone else, and there was even a slight fear in her eyes.

The ice dragon lifted its front paws and slapped her on the head.

For the first time, the female mage avoided the blow not by spells, but by reflexes that were quite agile, but she was obviously a little embarrassed.

“...... I don't want to hurt you, don't force me to do it!" she exclaimed in exasperation.

The ground shook suddenly, and a large patch suddenly seemed to melt, sinking down silently.

"Be careful!" Noway yelled and jumped backwards.

Red flames erupted from the ground and roared into the sky.
