Chapter 609 – Dragon Raid (7)
I feel like I might face the worst possible situation.
Snow-covered mountains.
The wind that takes away magical power.
A fierce snowstorm blinds your eyes.
“… Perhaps you.”
As if she was used to it, Irina asks me as she stands firmly on the snow that is freezing and sinking beneath her feet.
“I guess I misunderstood the color of the dragon?”
“…”
That’s my opinion too.
Pope, maybe this old man misinformed me about the species of dragon.
Or maybe the young dragon at the time had protective colors(?) On its body.
As I stood there with a devastated expression, Irina continued her words as if she were complaining.
“No matter how I look at it, it seems like it should be a white dragon, not a red dragon.”
“I guess so.”
If that’s true, the situation becomes very troublesome.
“If the White Dragon is my opponent, my compatibility is very bad.”
“… “It’s beyond bad, it’s the worst.”
White dragons are a species of dragon known to freely manipulate snow and ice, just like their color.
That means that Irina, who deals with the same coldness, loses her value as a dealer.
After recalling her teeth, she and I looked up at the sky blankly with her mouth tightly closed.
It’s a fight where the dealer we brought in with great difficulty can’t do anything.
Isn’t there anything more miserable than this for each other?
I was mesmerized for a moment.
“… First, let’s quickly resolve the situation.”
The thoughts so far have only assumed the worst situation, and nothing has been decided.
Until we see it with our own eyes.
One problem is that the trap he dug is harder to break than expected.
“Going back…”
Shwaaak!
“I ate it.”
Look how the cracks disappear as soon as you turn your eyes.
What you’re doing to a subject whose body size is distracting is extremely lame.
Without realizing it, I pour out high praises towards my enemies and look at the faces of my party members.
Not a very good atmosphere.
This is why the party leader must always remain calm.
If the leader, who is responsible for leading the party members to the right path, is confused, those who follow him will naturally not be able to concentrate and will become confused.
“There are no options left for us once we come here.”
“Are we going to break through as is?”
“It has to be that way.”
The dragon hiding here may not be a red dragon, but a white dragon.
That is just a guess.
Even if that were the case, it wouldn’t change anything.
“No matter what color it is, we will hunt the dragon and return safely. Trust me.”
One dealer lost his power?
It doesn’t matter.
Then I just have to work harder, right?
Sometimes, it is necessary to organize complex thoughts with simple thoughts like this.
“If you think you can’t stand the cold, wear more winter gear.”
Complete preparations quickly.
Wear more winter gear to maintain body temperature, and fill your stomach with dry food.
“Let’s go now.”
The goal is on the sheer ice wall.
If you climb up there, you will be able to see some of the scenery around here.
* * *
They reached the top of the ice wall using Kim Do-jin’s fly magic and saw it.
The sight of a snow-covered snowy field stretching endlessly beyond the horizon.
North, south, east and west.
No matter where I looked, the scenery did not change.
Is that why?
Even though they were looking at the wide-open view, their hearts felt extremely oppressed.
Even a little anxiety sprouts.
Maybe I’ll wander around here and die without even meeting the dragon.
No matter how many people call them superhumans, they were also human.
It’s made up of bones and flesh, and of course it’s a little tougher and harder than others, but without magic power, that’s all it is.
Therefore, even as people who have experienced all kinds of hardships before childbirth, they couldn’t help but feel nervous now.
It’s like being shipwrecked in a cold spell that takes away your magic power.
As a result, their eyes naturally focused on one place.
The person who brought them here.
To Kim Do-jin.
“Hmm… “No matter where I look, it seems to be there.”
In some ways, it was a funny thing.
Isn’t he the most, and overwhelmingly, youngest among the people gathered here?
Nevertheless, he is calmly seeking a way forward.
Those who feel relieved by that are trusting and following the young man without even realizing it.
And he always.
“There’s an illusion spell over there. Just looking at it, it looks like they’re trying to prevent you from going that way… “If you don’t want to go, you should go, right?”
Because I responded faithfully to that faith.
“Let’s go.”
They believed and followed him.

The wind blows, and it snows.
The two eventually come together and become a fierce blizzard, blinding their eyes and hindering their steps.
However, Kim Do-jin did not stop.
I stood at the front and walked, pretending to be their windbreaker.
It’s not just about blocking it with your body.
「Shield.」
A translucent protective shield was installed around him and his party members to prevent snow from sticking to his body.
Thanks to this, the speed at which party members’ magic power is lost was reduced by half.
On the other hand, Kim Do-jin’s magical power began to double, but it was okay.
I don’t know what will happen if this takes longer than expected, but not yet.
After about two hours of walking, Kim Do-jin finally arrived at the place he had seen on the ice wall.
As seen from a distance, a transparent wall blocked the back, and it was hidden with illusion magic.
Kim Do-jin looked at the magic installed in front of her with interest.
What is the structure of dragon magic?
“Let’s see…”
Indeed, a dragon… Should I say that?
The structure of the magical power that makes up magic was stronger than anything I had ever seen.
It was difficult to penetrate the source that exists beyond that, but who is he?
“Is that right?”
It wasn’t long before the deceptive eyes broke through the hard outer shell and looked inside.
He was lost in sentiment, as if looking at a woman’s inner skin hidden under tightly wrapped clothes.
And not long after, he expressed his short impressions.
“This is complete shit.”
Surprisingly, the inside hidden behind the hard exterior was nothing short of chaos.
Chaos itself, where no order exists.
But strangely enough, the confusion seemed extremely efficient and reasonable.
At the same time, Kim Do-jin felt a sense of déjà vu from this rootless flow.
It’s a structure I’ve never seen before, but it feels familiar and familiar.
He soon realized.
‘… ‘It looks similar to mine?’
That flow is not much different from the magic you use.
Only efficiency was considered more important than rules or order created to perform miracles.
Therefore, it is a difficult state to achieve without an overwhelming sense of magical power.
The difference is that while Kim Do-jin values efficiency within a human framework, the magic before his eyes is not bound by any framework and feels like he only carries out his own will.
It hurt my pride, but I had to admit it.
In terms of efficiency alone, the magic in front of you is superior to you.
More precisely.
‘Upward compatibility… Is it a feeling?’
I can see the road after a long time.
He was always the first to walk alone on the snow-covered road, and for the first time in a long time, he found traces of someone who had walked ahead.
If you can learn this in your own way.
‘It will be much easier to use magic.’
It’s still easy, but it’s getting easier.
That’s why I was curious.
How on earth should magic be implemented to make it easier to use magic than this?
I shiver with slight excitement and place my hands on the transparent wall.
At that time, Merlin, who was watching her defenses in his own way, stuck out his tongue.
“Her…, This is my first time seeing magic like this in my life.”
Irina asks with curiosity in an admiring tone.
“Is it that great?”
“It’s amazing!”
He who declared clearly gives out praise.
“Look at this streamlined efficiency and form! This is truly authentic to magic…, No, it is something that can never be created unless it is someone with a level of control! It can be seen as an art that is truly possible only because it is a dragon.”
Is it that much?
She tilted her head and asked without any particular interest.
“Then doesn’t that mean we can’t break through this wall?”
“Okay…, It can be interpreted that way too.”
Merlin shakes his head with a darker face.
His eyes turn to Kim Do-jin, who is quietly placing his hand on the wall.
“Nana, even though that guy is a great wizard among humans, this barrier is…”
Right then.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Quick!
The sound of something breaking echoed clearly through the strong wind that kept hitting my ears.
Cracks began to appear in the solid barrier blocking their path, centered around Kim Do-jin’s hand.
“I shouldn’t be able to wake up… ?”
He chanted in a defeated voice.
Kwajangchang!
The huge barrier was shattered.
And with his honorable title as British Royal Wizard.
