Well this is interesting.
When I followed both the corrupted dragon and the Class S magician into the cave, I wasn’t expecting this sort of terrain in the cave.
The cavern where the dragon and the Class S magician ended up in is massive. So large it could fit a small forest.
Which makes some sense considering how massive the dragon itself is.
That said, most caves don’t have a cliff. Let alone two cliffs.
Not that I’m complaining, considering that the cliffs give me a good view of everything happening in the cave.
First off, the dragon is for some reason drinking some sort of dangerous looking liquid in the cave. And every sip it takes seems to energize the dragon more and more. Making more of that corruption flow through the ice dragon’s body in the form of glowing liquid. Almost like veins.
What’s more though is that the ice dragon begins to roar as its arms and wings start moving in a berserk manner.
Okay then… just what’s in that liquid?
I frown as I watch the beast roaring in its berserk state. Meanwhile the Class S magician uses numerous spells both with and without spell circles to make sound mana spin all around the cave.
It was obvious from the moment I first saw them here that they’re the sound affinity magician. Since they have some sort of soundproof barrier around them making it so I can’t actually hear any sounds they’re making.
So I’m not surprised when they start making unusual formations through the spells all across the room.
There are just strange voids where I can’t hear anything. But I can see the air warping in the area, so whatever he’s doing, it’s not just making sound proof spheres.
I continue watching as the dragon goes berserk, seemingly completely unaware of its surroundings. Meanwhile the Class S magician just suddenly stands up and makes a massive spell circle appear beneath his feet that rises up into the air and spreads out to fill the entire cavern.
The dragon is too busy roaring in its berserk state to care though. With it still drinking more of that liquid from time to time.
Just how berserk has this dragon become…?
At this rate, the dragon’s just going to die. If it were putting up a fight it might survive, but like this?
It’s not even defending itself. Just drinking more of that liquid.
The massive spell circle that shows signs of being a Tier X spell continues to fill in with more and more smaller circles and numerous scripts. With immense amounts of mana flooding the circle. So much mana that I’m shocked it’s not leaking out of the circle.
I can’t help but notice a sound proof barrier at the entrance of the cave right behind me, no doubt to keep any noise from leaving this cave and attracting other beasts.
Also, the fact that the magician put up a barrier behind me likely implies he knows I’m here but doesn’t really care.
Then, all at once, the circle expands outwards before warping inwards and vanishing. Following which I hear the loudest noise I’ve ever heard before in my life.
And that very noise makes my mind go dark for I don’t know how long.
Eventually my consciousness returns, leaving me finding myself lying flat on my stomach face down on the ground. With my body slowly restoring itself as if my entire body was erased.
Meanwhile the cave itself looks a lot larger than before, with cracks in the ice on the walls and ceiling and floor.
That’s not all though as the area round the dragon looks like it’s been bombed by something.
Those spheres that the sound magician used, if I had to guess.
But what shocks me is the fact that, despite the Tier X spell that has clearly made strange ripples in the cave that straight up have no sound in them at all, along with ripples that are filled with sound so loud it would shatter my eardrums just walking into them, the dragon is fine. All it has are some cracks on the ice making up its outer layers.
Holy shit…
A Tier X spell only wounded the dragon…
Wait a second, it looks like it’s more damaged than it appears at first glance. That much is clear when the dragon stumbles and looks around in confusion.
Like it’s completely disoriented and can’t tell up from down.
Right. His spell was sound.
It probably completely destroyed whatever sense of direction and hearing this dragon may have had.
Although it doesn’t help that the dragon is still berserk.
Oh, and the liquid the dragon was drinking was destroyed by the spell. Which is now revealing more of that liquid seemingly dripping from the wall.
But since it’s dripping so slowly, it won’t be refilling that little pond for a very long time.
The dragon is growing increasingly enraged on top of its disoriented state, meanwhile the Class S magician looks shocked at how little damage he did to the dragon.
And while he’s expressing his shock, the dragon itself lets out a loud roar before opening its mouth and seemingly preparing some sort of breath attack. With massive amounts of the corrupt mana in its body rushing to its mouth in the form of glowing veins of power. Then that energy leaks through its fangs and from its throat to form a large ball of energy in front of it.
A ball that it fires off at random to slam into the wall of the cave. Where the ball explodes and sends a massive amount of corrupt mana throughout the cave.
If that were all though, the Class S magician would be fine. Since he blocks it.
But it’s not all.
I watch wide-eyed as the dragon forms another orb of corrupt mana in front of its mouth and fires that all as well.
Then another.
And another.
Rapidly beginning to fill the cave with corrupt mana.
Well this Class S magician is done for…
