Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 78

 

Chapter 78: Freezing Point Descent



A few days later, it finally started raining.


"It's raining! It should be raining pretty hard this time of year..."


Tension and excitement surged through me all at once.


Keep your cool. It hasn't even started yet.


"Sylvie, go get the others. Quickly."


"Y-yeah."




------




Everyone met up


"Before the sun rises, when the sky begins to brighten, we will move to subjugate it quickly!"


That's all the instructions.


Naturally, questions came.


First Doru asks.


"What about Karen?"


"She would stay at the inn and look after the luggage."


"Yes!"


The next question is from Sylvie


"Why are we going before sunrise? It's cold."


"It can't move because of the cold."


Snake Dragon


Despite the name "dragon," it is a snake.


Big enough to swallow a cow or a horse whole


It has scales so sharp that they can cut anything they touch.


Because of its danger, it is treated like a dragon.


Rank 25


Normally, it would take an army or a large party to defeat this monster.


Seven men in a frontal attack is reckless, to say the least.


That's why I've been waiting for this day.


"It's colder than usual at midnight. Even humans freeze."


"How do you know that?"


"Because I know it as knowledge"


Naturally, the inhabitants of Nike also know this knowledge.


[Don't go out at night after it rains]


So they say.




-------------




"S-so cold~~~..."


"It's freezing..."


Doru, who is dressed thickly enough, exhales a white breath.


Sedona, who should be even more heavily clothed, is shivering as if she is about to cry.


"Are we all right? I can't move."


"It's the same for it, it can't move."


On the contrary, humans should have a better chance in a cold environment.


"Quies, there it is..."


Sylvie found a huge monster.


It's definitely a Snake Dragon


"It's not moving at all."


"Yeah, it's too cold to move."


That's our chance to win.


We'll take it out before the sun comes and warms it up.


The Snake Dragon notices us, still out of range of its magic.


"I thought it couldn't move!"


"It forced itself to move because the enemy has appeared. Prepare for battle! Sedona, go up!"


"Yes!"


Sedona waits in the air


The trio will cover us from behind with magic.


Me, Doru, and Sylvie, we're going in for melee combat.


"[Let it through, let the heroes be as swift as the wind. [Boost]!]"


"[Let it through, let the heroes be as powerful as the earth. [Power]!]"


"[Respond to my magic and pierce my enemies with 25 spears [Grand Lance]!"


Guduri used magic to increase our strength


Itte used magic to increase our speed


No fear, no hesitation


The Snake Dragon is surely damaged by Hibari's all-out magic


“Shhhaaaaaa!”


It opens its mouth and charges at us, letting out blood, ready to bite us to death.


"Thanks for the easy-to-understand attack!"


Doru slashes sideways


His aim is to break its fangs.


But


"Too hard!"


The sword is repelled with a loud clanging sound.


But that's fine


"Doru! That's fine. Keep swinging at its fangs!"


"Ah? Oh! Is that what you mean? Alright!"


That must have been a very painful blow.


The Snake Dragon continues its assault on Doru.


"Sylvie!"


"The gap between its scales... there!"


Sylvie's blow pierces its body.


"Yo-uu!"


And then, using the principle of leverage, she rips one of its scales.


"Ah, not good!"


The Snake dragon's tail hit Sylvie


"Guh!"


"Sylvie!"


Sylvie gets blown away


But that doesn't dampen her will to fight.


"Sedona! Now!"


"I'm going with all my might...!"


Sedona, waiting in the sky above us, swoops down.


She has the greatest power the seven of us could deliver.


“Dragon, busteeerr!”


And with that momentum, she swoops down with her sword!


By the way, it's neither magic nor technique.


It's really just an attack of momentum, weight, and power.


But if it's the biggest attack, it needs a name.


So we all named it [Dragon buster].


The blow hit the Snake Dragon's back.


"Sshhhaaaaaa!"


It didn't kill it.


But there's no doubt that it's a blow that cripples it


"For the finale!"


Sylvie thrusts her sword as hard as she can at the spot where the scales had been peeled off.


Blood gushes out from its body and mouth.


The Snake Dragon continued to convulse for a while.


Then it finally died
