The gray gem that had begun to dim was once again dazzling, and the blister, which had been so faint that it had almost disappeared, suddenly stretched out in all directions, and quickly caught up with the raging flames, like a large, transparent dome, enveloping the flames in it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for the trees and weeds under the dome to burn out, and the flames that could not spread outward were finally extinguished. Ed felt a little suffocated, withdrew his arms, and the blister that burst in an instant made a dull soft sound, and the rapidly circulating air rolled up a whirlwind, carrying the last bit of sparks and ashes on the ground, and falling like snowflakes.

Black Ash burrowed into Ed's mouth, who was inhaling heavily. After a series of sneezes and coughs, Ed raised his face in embarrassment, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten that the "enemy" in front of him had not been solved at all...... And "Scott" didn't even take the opportunity to give them a fatal blow.

He just stood there and looked at Ed thoughtfully...... Looking at the cane, to be exact.

“...... Scott?" Ed exclaimed cautiously, hoping that the one who was now in control of the body was its original owner.

Scott finally glanced at him, his unwarm, scrutinizing gaze no different than looking at another cane.

"Give it to me. He said.

“...... What?" Ed asked rhetorically, dumbfounded, completely unintelligible.

Scott frowned impatiently, stretched out his hand, and the cane, which was still stuck in the ground, shook unwillingly, and flew into his hand.

“...... Wait!" Ed cried out in panic, "That's not mine!"

Even if it was his, he wouldn't just give it away...... But that's Keller Brian's cane!

He had not expected such a bandit-like act at all, but there was probably no reason to speak at the moment, and he could only watch as Scott seemed to be satisfied with the swing of his cane like a sword...... Then point straight at him.

The gray gem flickered for a moment, gradually revealing a golden glow.

Ed involuntarily took a step back, his hair standing on end. With his staff, he had done everything he could to block the other party's blow......

Scott's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly turned to look at the sky.

The wind blew in his face, raising a grayish-black dead ash again. A huge black shadow swooped down, and the sunlight shone on the silver-white scales, so that one could barely open his eyes.

“...... Is!"

Ed jumped up, unable to describe whether it was surprise or horror that swelled up in his heart in an instant.

He watched as Scott raised his staff to the ice dragon that had pounced on him, his heart and breathing seemed to freeze in fear, but his body instinctively moved, and he rushed over desperately...... Jumped on Scott's back.

It's unbelievably stupid. Realizing what he had done, Ed silently despaired of himself. But perhaps it was too unexpected, Scott's body suddenly froze, and before he could react, the ice dragon's long tail had already split its head and covered its face, and it pulled off without hesitation.

Lying on Scott's back like a monkey, Ed, who was trying to snatch his cane back to himself, was thrown out together, rolling on the ground for several times before he got up, and watched in amazement as the ice dragon ferociously grabbed Scott, who had just been propped up halfway, and slammed it twice on the ground until he stopped moving.

“......”

Ed swallowed, unable to say a word for a while. He almost wondered if Iss was possessed by something...... Until the ice dragon turned his head and roared at him angrily:

"Idiot!!"

- This is indeed his friend.

Ed smirked and sat down on the ground, feeling weak, still uneasy.

"That's ...... Scott ......"

He looked at Scott, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said dumbfoundedly, unable to believe that Iss would treat Scott like this...... Is he really no longer thinking of Scott as his own family?

"I know. The ice dragon's voice sounded gritted and helpless, "Don't worry, he can't die." ”

Ed was relieved to run over and poke and poke at ease.

The ice dragon tossed him and Scott aside with its tail, lowered its body, and with intense hostility, roared at the elf who stood aside, calmly watching everything.

"Who are you?" it asked.

Ed looked back in a daze.

"That's Norvi. He wanted to say it, but he couldn't.

A faint smile tugged at the elf's lips. After reuniting in such an unexpected way, it was the first time Ed had seen a little expression on his face. It was Norvi's usual smile, soft and kind, but at this moment, in Ed's eyes, even the blood in his body was a little cold.

“...... Where's Norvi?" he asked, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "is he still there?"

The elf glanced at him with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Forget about him. He said, "Your friend never really existed." ”

Ed bit his lip hard. He didn't understand and didn't want to.

The ice dragon roared angrily and flung forward, and the elf whispered something, and the smoke disappeared into the air.

“...... What did he say?" asked Ed, blankly.

"'Goodbye'. The ice dragon replied, staring thoughtfully at its own claws, "That's the language of the dragon." ”

A name had already sprung up to the tip of his tongue, and was silently swallowed back by Ed.

No, he doesn't believe it...... His friends will definitely come back.

“...... We need to get out of here as soon as possible. The ice dragon flicked its tail irritably, "The elves will be coming around soon, although there is nothing to be afraid of......

Yes, it is not afraid of the elves, and even if a long arrow with magic can penetrate its scales, it is like being pricked by a needle......

"What?" Ed raised a dull face at it, "What elf?"

“...... You have burned such a large piece of the elves' 'sacred forest', do you expect them to not be able to see it?" the ice dragon asked angrily.

The flash of fire could even be seen clearly as it was about to fly into Stunbuch, and no matter how slow the elves were to react, they should probably rush over in full gear by now.

"'Sacred Forest'?" Ed still crouched beside Scott with a sluggish expression, and there was an extra layer of despair on his face, "This is Grivar?!"

He's a complete fool who didn't react until now...... What other forest on this continent could have so many ridiculously tall, towering trees besides Grivar?

-- This is the real "unjustified disaster."

Ed looked down at the ashes on the ground, and suddenly all of a sudden, he just wanted to fall to the ground.
