76 – Father of Dragons (2)
“Ice blooming on the cold winter river!”
I blocked the spewing fire and hid behind it.
The pouring flames flowed out at once without being able to penetrate the barrier.
“Are you trying to do something now, at the level of a newborn who hasn’t yet grown out of poetic chanting?
Good night. Let’s enjoy some entertainment.”
With added energy, the wall was built even thicker.
As the word entertainment suggests, the fire’s firepower seemed to be quite low.
Seeing that my mother’s fire-resistant armor was much weaker than that melted, I prepared a second spell.
…Actually, it’s embarrassing to even call it magic.
“Huh? What are you doing-“
I put all the energy I had gathered into my forehead and thought earnestly about her mother.
In fact, it was a sign for times like this.
…It was my mother who used it to monitor me and feel me,
This was my first time seeing its true purpose.
“Are you… Calling that child?”
The pouring flames stopped, and a crumpled face appeared.
It seemed like the expectations placed on me were high, but I couldn’t help it.
I am also a great wizard,
Because I wasn’t the person who could remove my mother’s stigma.
Just as the son of a dragon,
He was a boy who only helped the dragon drive away loneliness and sadness.
…Because that’s what mom wanted.
“It’s extremely disappointing. How could someone do such a pathetic thing…
Are you not even trying? Even worse than the hybrids behind them… With that kind of will.
How dare you challenge this Rosaria?
I don’t understand.”
Feeling my forehead becoming slightly hot, I slowly prepared the next spell.
Listening to her mother’s urgent flapping of wings, I raised my mana even more.
The blue sky and mountains behind the dragon in front of you are probably the sight your mother is seeing.
“Oh my. Did you mean to waste time?
…Why. What are you planning to do with me and that child?
Yes, that awkward ice.
And it looks like it knows what will happen if it meets a foolish fire dragon that is just a plaything.
But I assure you… That won’t change anything.”
Flames spew out from the open mouth once again.
However, they could only wrap the ice and do nothing more.
The water soaking the floor is collected, re-frozen, and a new ice barrier is placed on top of it…
“Really, all you learned was how to stack ice?
Sincerely? Are you not going to resist me even once?
…The child even showed his teeth to me.
But, if you really plan to mock me like this – “
Slowly, icicles began to form on his back.
Even though it seemed like the firepower was getting stronger little by little, the ice did not melt that easily.
Am I weaker than my mother’s flames, or are they still trying to play with me?
Either way was fine.
“This is getting boring now. I wonder if a human with the blood of an animal could entertain me more… What?”
Did you run away?”
Now was my chance to show arrogance by closing my mouth and slightly turning my head.
Immediately pull out the icicle and push it into the barrier,
I just pushed the energy into it.
“Like a sprout growing through the ground…!”
With a crackling sound, the spear made of ice stretched out violently.
I saw his eyes widen as he reacted late.
Surely, even if it can’t kill, it can at least injure it?
“What a stupid trick… !”
Naturally, they couldn’t even make a scratch on the dragon’s scales.
The ice that shattered with a single swing of the front foot showed the gap between him and me.
With a body that can’t be defeated even by the human form that my mother took,
There was no way I could defeat that being looking down at me in the form of a true dragon.
I knew that.
“…It seems extremely unclean.
You can’t even make ice properly?
The sticky melting thing isn’t water, is it?”
Even though he had a face that was different from that of a human, I could tell that he was angry.
As I shake off the string-like water that hangs from my hand after breaking the ice,
Because something was rubbing on the floor, making a painful sound.
“You’re giving me trouble in many ways.
I thought it would be a simple task, but they made me use my strength.
I admit it. It looks like you are worth a fly that wants to land on the bridge of your nose, so I will treat you like a fly.”
Claws popped out one by one from the outstretched hand.
And then he waved it lightly in the air –
“Laughs?!”
The ice that didn’t even touch it made a deep dent.
The marks on the floor and wall that were cut into exactly five directions showed his strength.
“Ha, slower than a fly, less brave than a fly.
What on earth is so special about you that made that child use you as a plaything?
It only leaves shame in Rosaria’s blood
Pathetic.”
I tried to gather my strength and fill the gap, but my claws struck again and the ice ended up breaking in two.
I couldn’t do anything under the giant figure approaching with its front feet.
Just like the moment when my mom showed up to get me, there wasn’t a single thing she could have changed.
“If you look like you’ve realized your worth now, nothing will change.
You have dared to leave filth on your noble name and body, so you can only wash it away with your blood.”
I just stared blankly at the outstretched arm.
I remember myself as a child when the knights first swung their swords at me.
Was I not able to do anything back then?
In the first place, I can’t even do anything properly on my own,
Is he just a pathetic boy like the dragon says?
“The attitude of humbly accepting death is still worth seeing.
Then. End – “
The front door collapses behind him as he puts his hand down again,
It happened very quickly that his red, fierce hands his firmly held the neck his his.
The dragon, speaking in human terms, slams his face into the ground and is struck by his wings as he tries to swing his claws.
The entrance quickly became a fight between growing beasts.
Before she knew it, Dracea Rosaria’s father, whose mother had been pushing her using magic, was groaning as he was hit by his merciless tail and fists.
“Hey, I couldn’t learn it and ate it up… Wow!”
It was a cruel sight to see him stumbling around after being hit in the face by the tail that was swung again while trying to speak.
Even though he tried to light up his horn to use magic, the sight of him being crushed without being able to do anything by the hand immediately grabbing his face and slamming it down to the ground was exhilarating.
“How can you touch my son, how!!
Are you still my father? Not only did you try to kill me, but you are also trying to kill the person I love the most?!”
Sticking out his tongue, he grabbed his staggering head and hit him with his fist again,
The fierce mother’s fighting style, setting fire to the fallen body, was completely different from Rosaria’s.
Unlike him who tried to do something only with magic, without touching the body as much as possible –
Her mother used her tail and hands without hesitation, and she now even trampled her with her paws.
“I’m going to cut off that disgusting breath right now. Right now – “
However, the resistance seemed to be stronger than expected.
As if to say that I was really just entertainment,
Instead of spreading fire, a sharp ray of light came out of her fallen dragon’s mouth and scratched her mother’s arm.
“Wow…”
“After hanging out with humans, his methods also turned barbaric.
“You’re attacking me without any sense of dignity. Don’t you have the dignity of a dragon?”
The burnt scales fell to the floor like flower petals.
At the same time, the dragon, bleeding from his mouth, slowly raised his stumbling body and straightened it up.
“And you.
That horn.
No way, it wasn’t something like a plaything…”
His fist flew again.
For some reason, rather than using her magic, the mother rushed into her her her her body her and tried to hurt her with her fists and claws.
Red scales sticking out in all directions fell into pieces on the floor.
And –
“Come on, Russell.”
Did he go up the stairs and hide?
Fortunately, Mr. Luterrier ran down next to me and called out to me, looking fine.
Except that her face turned pale with fear.
“…What should I do now?”
Two dragons were fighting in the shaking entrance.
Trying to grab the fire-breathing chin with both hands and press it down,
A ray of light shoots at the mother as she slips on a thin wall that suddenly appears as if separating them.
The wound remained again, but my mother still didn’t stop running.
The surroundings were becoming increasingly ruined.
“It would be right to defeat that dragon, perhaps?”
Muttering the magic that had created the icicle, he created a long spear.
Since she did not have the ability to shoot fire as hot as her mother, the only things she could use were sharp weapons made of ice.
“…How?”
She faced blue eyes where even the little bit of light that had been regained was extinguished.
There was something about the corners of his eyes that she seemed to be tired now … Something that was very welcome.
“Why not just try it?
From noble mtl dot com
It’s a dragon trying to kill us, so of course we have to do something.
…I have to protect my mom, though.”
Other than that, it was me and Mr. Luterrier who had no other choice left.
Wherever you go, no matter what you do,
It was obvious that he would eventually be captured by the red dragon.
