　He manages to stand up, using his sword as a walking stick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His legs are trembling, as if they are not strong enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He looks like a newborn fawn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Blood is gurgling from his mouth and gushing down his esophagus.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He manages to spit the blood out of his mouth onto the ground so that he can breathe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this state of full wounds, I saw an immortal bone dragon in my field of vision.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The immortal bone dragon that I had attacked in the form of a mutual attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, from the looks of it, it did not seem to be as badly damaged as I was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bone in its head was split open in a vertical slash down the middle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And behind it, I could see a strange shiny black substance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if that was the driving force behind the Immortal Bone Dragon's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The cracked skull did not seem to have any effect on the movement itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seemed to be concerned about the fact that its head was cut off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have the impression that his eyes were bloodshot even though he had only bones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was as if he was furious at having his head smashed off, and he was looking at me with an even stronger murderous intent than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Its mouth, with its sharp fangs, rattles noisily, and the bone of its tail behind its body bangs against the ground.

"Ice Spirit Summoning".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I watched the immortal bone dragon, I chanted a spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could no longer even move my arms, and I needed the power of magic to fight him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But with my existing magic, I would not be able to inflict even a scratch on his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I used my newly acquired magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Summon Ice Spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I invaded Uruk and made my brother Bight swear fealty to the knights who ruled there and made them follow him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The knights' magic flowed into me through my brother Bite and my magic power increased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, I rose in rank.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rise in rank.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That means that I have obtained a new magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A magic that is even higher than the Fontana family's "ice spear" attack magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was the Summoning of the Ice Spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment I chanted the spell, a large amount of magic power was consumed from my body and the magic was activated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the being called "ice spirit" appeared before my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As its name suggests, it is a spirit of ice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what it is, but it seems that there are beings called spirits in this world, and the Fontana family had created a magic that can summon these spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic of the head of the family, which ordinary knights like other nobles cannot match.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this Fontana's higher magic was a little different from the higher magic of other nobles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The higher level magic of the House of Uruk [Black Flame] and the higher level magic of the House of Arbalest [Distant Thunder].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Both of them were terrifying magic that showed amazing strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With such magic, they had the strength to make others follow the nobles instead of defying them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the Fontana family's high-level magic [Ice Spirit Summoning] was not like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a magic whose strength was difficult to judge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The [Ice Spirit Summoning] that I use and the [Ice Spirit Summoning] that Carlos, the head of the Fontana family, uses are the same magic, but they are different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To put it simply, when Carlos uses it, the Ice Spirit Summoning is incomparably powerful, but when I use it, it is weak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why is that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the summoned ice spirit is different in every way depending on the person who summons it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice spirit that Carlos summons is a strong one, but I could only summon the weakest ice spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But in order to fight against this immortal bone dragon, I invoked an ice spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment I cast the spell, a ball of blue-white light appeared in midair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The most primitive, will-less ice spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Compared to the ice spirit summoned by Carlos, it was a very poor spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the number of such weakest ice spirits increases one after another.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The spirits I can summon are weak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there were many of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fist-sized ice spirits with a bluish-white light appeared one after another, drifting around me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Freeze!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I see that the number of ice nymphs exceeds twenty, I let out a single voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The area around me begins to freeze around the spot where I am standing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ground, grass, and trees also began to freeze, and the area expanded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the icy world continues to expand, freezing the area where the Immortal Bone Dragon is located.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kakakakakakakan!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They may be surprised to see their surroundings freeze over, or they may not care at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The immortal bone dragon banged its teeth repeatedly, then started to move toward us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that it does not care that its head has been broken open, and it comes barreling toward us with its mouth wide open once again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His attack is simple but difficult to prevent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In any case, I can't even move my body to avoid it, let alone use my sword to intercept it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ice Spear!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I know that I cannot move my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why we intercept with magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the [ice spear] I just used was different from the [ice spear] I had used before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, the magic of [ice spear] is to reach out one's right hand and send a pillar of ice the length and thickness of one's arm flying from the palm of one's hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now I was standing with both hands gripping the iron sword like a staff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I did not move my right hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, the ice attack hit the immortal bone dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It caught him by surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The [ice spear] I fired appeared from the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice spear extended upward from a position just below the Immortal Bone Dragon, reading its movement as it ran toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it was not just one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Multiple spears of ice were reaching upward like sword mountains, skewering the Immortal Bone Dragon's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They had been running at a high speed, but the Immortal Bone Dragon had been stopped in its tracks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the power of the ice spirits I summoned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each one is a lowly ice spirit with little power and no offensive ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I was able to summon more than one of these ice spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And by freezing the area around me with these ice spirits, I can activate ice magic from anywhere within the area except from my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may not have the disadvantages of using a large amount of magical power, not being able to attack from a very long distance like [Distant Thunder], and not being as vicious as [Black Flame], which can kill with certainty once it succeeds in its attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, depending on how you use it, it can be applied and is versatile 【Summoning Ice Spirit】.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was my new magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

d*mn, no good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even with that higher magic it only stopped the movement of the immortal bone dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it had not been an immortal with only bones, it would have died for sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the ice spear, which looked like it was stabbing the immortal dragon with a skewer, actually only stopped it from moving through the space between the bones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The damage was not fatal, but rather unsatisfactory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He repeatedly attacked the stone protected by the bones by activating the [Ice Spear] again and again, trying to aim at the gap between the bones of the skull.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the immortal bone dragon was not so naive as to allow this to happen so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It deftly moved its bony body to guard against the ice attack from reaching the magic stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, by swinging its tail vigorously, it even shattered the ice spears that sprouted from the ground to restrain it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice spears that had restrained it from moving are shattered, and the Immortal Bone Dragon regains its freedom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought I heard the Immortal Bone Dragon laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Immediately after that, the Immortal Bone Dragon begins to move again, trying to bite me to death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even with higher magic, I can't beat him with just [summon ice spirit] alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll just have to try slashing at it with my iron sword the moment it stops moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if he can move properly, but the only thing that can hurt him now is the Zanteiken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I grit my teeth and make up my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Someone intervened in the battle between me and the Immortal Bone Dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it too had the power to conjure spirits.
