―More than 10 minutes ago, Franco-Lipabis Mountains―

The enchantment of the [Mirror Realm Light Prison] couldn't support it for even ten seconds, and it was shattered by the giant claws and long tail of the demon dragon, and the fragments turned into light foam and slowly drifted away.

It's not that the female knight Mira's enchantment is too fragile, it can only be said that the power of the demon dragon is ridiculously strong.

After all, it was enough to support a huge body of hundreds of meters, and Qingyuan Long had already reached the level of disaster just by wielding brute force.

The demon dragon broke the barrier, she raised her snake-like head and neck high, and the roar of the dragon made the air vibrate, and there was no intellectual color in a pair of golden eyes that shimmered with dazzling light.

A pair of dragon wings, almost the same length as the dragon, fully extended, flipped her wings with all her might, and she whipped up a hurricane that could change the terrain.

Qingyuan Dragon seemed to want to take off, she didn't notice the two knights under her feet at all, and instead set her eyes on the city of Celestia in the distance.

"Oops-Mira! stop her!"

Chris the brown-haired knight shouted to his companion as he raised his holy sword, only to see that the blade was emitting faint purple light particles, enveloping and protecting his whole body, leaving him safe in the hurricane where even houses would be swept away.

"Understood. ----------------

The female knight responded, and then chanted a large and abbreviated incantation, instantly casting the fifth-order earth-attribute tactical magic, which can expand gravity to more than ten times the [gravity hell].

As a knight, Mira's magical prowess is undoubtedly beyond common sense. What she did was a miracle that only a few sage-level magicians in the mainland could achieve.

What's even more incredible is that while she is casting magic, she is also standing still in the storm, just like Chris.

Although she was not protected by the Holy Sword, she could be seen surrounded by an emerald green aura, which was skillfully staggering the strength of the wind to both sides.

The demon dragon, which had just left the ground, could not fly higher into the sky. The surging force of gravity was grabbing her body and trying to pull her back to the ground.

According to common sense, gravity magic should be more effective for opponents who are originally heavier, but the Abyss Dragon can resist being strengthened by dozens of times its weight and still remain in the air, which shows its unreasonable brute strength.

"Got her!

But Mira never thought of making the dragon crawl to the ground from the beginning, as long as she could stop her from leaving the nest, it would be considered a complete success.

"Ahhh

Chris runs, bounces, and soars. The young knight's body dissipated in a purple curtain of light, and in the next moment, he appeared in vain above the head of the demon dragon that was stuck in the low sky.

Under normal circumstances, even if the first mate of the 'Holy Spirit Blessing' is strengthened, with the physical ability of a human being, it will not be able to jump over the hundred-meter-long dragon after all.

But at this time, Chris easily subverted this common sense, and what he held in his hand was the 'holy sword' that could manipulate space. You don't need to chant any incantations at all, and you can freely move in space for short distances.

Now there is no room for negotiation, because the demon dragon who is the object of negotiation is just an irrational monster no matter how you look at it.

Now that the Abyss Dragon has gone berserk in front of him, Chris knows that he is invincible, but he can't abandon the innocent townspeople of Silia. Even if you can't defeat the dragon, you can at least hurt her so that she can't leave the mountains.

From the many inheritances, it is not difficult to guess from the description that all things in heaven and earth are frozen, and the attribute of the Qingyuan Dragon is 'ice', so the most effective means of attack should be the magic skill of 'flame'.

Among the flame magic skills inherited from the Knights, there is an extremely bold and brave combat skill called [Scarlet Phoenix], and the flames released when it is cast are like the legendary immortal bird reborn from the fire.

When it comes to who is the best at this kind of magic technique, the first thing that comes to Chris is his friend of the same period, the golden-headed hedgehog-headed Stan. In addition to him, there is also a new batch of rookies who joined the group two years ago, the teenager Luca, who wields a big sword.

Maybe in terms of power, he can't be as good as the two of them who have trained [Scarlet] like fire, but as the chief knight, Chris, no matter what kind of magic skill, he can use it with ease.

The young knight flying high in the sky, the silver holy armor on his body and the blade in his hand all burst into brilliant red fire.

Chris held the sword to his chest, his body falling vertically along with the blade, the sharp tip of the sword pointing straight at the dragon's neck directly below.

Under the influence of [Gravity Hell], the blazing flames used the holy sword as a peck, turning into a flaming finch that swooped down on the earth, and soared unstoppably through the air.

As it swooped, the end of the sword pierced the heated and expanding air, provoking a screeching sound like the chirping of birds.

However, this [Scarlet Phoenix] stunt, which could even be burned by steel, was forcibly blocked halfway.

It wasn't blocked by the hard dragon scales, and the firebird's sharp peck didn't even touch the crystal-clear scales.

I saw a thin layer of ice crystal film, which was wrapping the entire body of the demon dragon, blocking the flight trajectory of the invasion of the divine bird.

It was no ordinary ice cube, and even the Holy Sword covered with fire could not penetrate half of it, let alone melt it.

But Chris didn't give up because of this, and he decisively activated the ability granted by the Holy Sword once again - spatial movement.

This time, there is no need to cross too long a distance, as long as your body penetrates the ice membrane and reaches the opposite side, so that the Holy Sword of [Scarlet Phoenix] will be able to drive straight into the back of the dragon's neck.

However, his plan failed again, and Chris's body failed to penetrate the thin ice as expected, and the impenetrable barrier still kept him out.

This is an unprecedented strange phenomenon, and the ability of [Space Movement] has not been activated?

No...... The movement was successful, and the feeling of weightlessness in the body just now was evidence that the [Spatial Movement] was indeed activated, but the body after the transfer did not penetrate the obstacle, but only stayed in place.

I don't know why, but soon, the inertia caused by [Gravity Hell] accelerated and lost momentum, and at the same time, Chris couldn't keep the flames of [Scarlet] for too long. To make matters worse - the Abyss Dragon had noticed the threat coming from above her head, and she raised her head high and opened her huge mouth, spewing a torrent of glowing blue light towards the tiny firesparrow.

It was the dragon's most terrifying attack, like breathing, unleashing a torrent of magic that surpassed the fifth-order magic—dragon's breath.

Faced with the oncoming deadly dragon breath, Chris had to continuously launch [Spatial Movement] to escape from Ascension, and returned to his colleague Mira's side with a disgraced face.

"Huh...... Huh...... Huh...... Just now...... The one just now...... What the hell is going on!?"

As for why Chris asked why she asked, Mira, who had a full view of the battle from beginning to end, of course knew it.

"That barrier is no ordinary layer of ice. Rather, it is a higher enchantment with mixed properties of 'time' and 'space'...... Time stands still on the surface of the barrier, and the space between the inside and outside is completely isolated...... Honestly, tricky. ”

Mira, who has a high degree of recognition of magic, immediately gave a general answer, but she knew the principle, but she couldn't find a way to break through.

"So even the Holy Sword's [Spatial Movement] can't cross over? then, let me use the [Dimensional Slash] ......"

"No, even if you do, I'm afraid it's all in vain. ”

Mira's unthinking splash of cold water made Chris frown, making him even want to retort as if he wanted to play tricks:

"You mean, even the Holy Sword that cuts through space is a waste of effort? How is it possible! In the inheritance, isn't the Demon Dragon defeated by the hero who holds the Holy Sword?"

"Although the Holy Sword's [Dimensional Slash] can indeed break that barrier. But, Chris, with your current strength, you don't have enough to do that. Even if you have the ability of the same 'space' attribute, the gap between you as a human and the demon dragon is too great. ”

"Tsk...... Is that really the case......"

――I don't have enough strength, so I can't do it.

Mira's merciless accusation made Chris, as the chief of the Knights, bitter and unwilling, but helpless.

That's right...... No matter how hard the accumulation is, no matter how blessed by the elves or recognized by the holy sword, no matter how much is praised by the world as the strongest level of warriors......

But none of this can be done - it can't change the fact that I'm just a small human being. No matter how hard he tried to reach out, he couldn't reach the height of the 'Cataclysmic Level' monster after all.

"Well, there's no time to get you down right now. It's coming!"

Mira's warning forced Chris to cheer up, and the dragon was furious when he saw that his dragon breath had failed. However, it had no intention of looking for its prey, and in its rage, it regained its strong magic power in its mouth.

She shook her neck casually in the direction of the ground, and fired the blue dragon's breath wildly. Above the path illuminated by the light, thick ice picks stand in cascading layers.

The magic power, which was rich in extreme cold qi, turned the flat ground into a labyrinth of ice and snow in an instant, and the dragon's breath swept through, raising a burst of glittering ice dust in the air.

"Dimensional Slash-!!"

Chris stood in front of Mira, pouring all his magic power into it, struggling to slash down the holy sword in his hand, but in just a moment, he successfully cut off the swept dragon breath for a moment, and because of this, he finally protected his companion behind him.

Gravity Inferno has a high status even among tactical magic, as it has a lasting effect. As long as the sorcerer continues to infuse the magic, the magic will not stop. The only flaw is that the surgeon itself cannot move half a step.

"Chris, that's enough...... If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be unbearable. ”

Looking around at the towering walls of ice crystals around her, Mira came to a conclusion.

"But if you let it go......!?"

The city of Celia, that innocent town, was probably destroyed in an instant.

Speaking of which, the culprits who woke up the demon dragon are likely to be the two of them. After all, it was after he cast the [Dimensional Slash] that the demon dragon immediately went berserk, and his intuition told Chris that there must be some inevitable connection between the two.

"Remember what I said, in the city of Celia, there are enough characters to repel our Blade of Legends. ”

"You mean...... Lutga's daughter?"

"Ahh ”

"No, make no mistake! Lutga was our partner at the same time, and now you're going to put his territory and family in danger?"

"Even if you don't, you won't last long. You should also see that this is the end of the matter, no matter how hard the two of us try our best, we will not be the opponent of this monster after all. So...... It's better to gamble. ”

At the moment of the dispute, the Qingyuan Dragon, who could not escape from the [Gravity Hell], spit out a second stream of dragon breath to sweep the land, and Chris also used [Dimensional Slash] to split the dragon breath.

But before he could breathe his breath, the light of the dragon's breath condensed in the dragon's mouth again.

"Goo......!"

Chris gritted his teeth and let out a painful sound.

-- What should I do? Will I continue to block it? In the face of this endless frenzied attack?

In the face of the endless magic power of the ancient demon dragon, the earth-destroying dragon breath and the impregnable defense, he was simply at a loss.

"Haaa......"

Looking at the chief knight with a bitter face, Mira sighed softly and took a gentle step, which also meant that the shackles of [Gravity Hell] were untied.

The Abyss Dragon's body was light, and she quickly floated into the air, and she did not release half of the accumulated magic power, but kept flapping her wings and soaring in the direction of Celia City.

“............”

Chris saw the shadow of the demon dragon in the distance, and wordlessly lowered the holy sword in his hand.

"What? don't blame or question me, why do you want to unlock magic or something. ”

“...... No, thank you this time. Chris said this, shaking his head weakly as he inserted the sword back into the scabbard at his waist. It should be said that he deserves to be the chief of the 'Legendary Blade', he quickly calmed down, and when he raised his face again, he could already put on a resolute look, and said in a deep voice, "Let's catch up, this time, we must find a way to stop that monster." ”

"Ahhh......h That's right. ”
