110 - - Ivan's Confession and Dragon's Seal






 As we were heading back to the summit, we noticed Ivan, Margret's grandson, watching us from the forest.

 He was a shy and quiet boy, but maybe he wanted to play with us.



"Ivan, would you like to play with us? We're all sledding together."

"Aren't you guys ...... scared of us?"



"Afraid? "No, we're not scared at all.

"No, because we have the power to seal the dragon."

 We have ...... Margret had said he had a talent for magic, does that mean he also has the power to seal the dragon?



"It's a gift, don't be afraid. We have many powers too, but as long as we use them correctly, we'll be fine.

"You guys are so kind. I have a good news for you. You should leave the village sooner rather than play in the sleigh. We don't have much time left. ......



Why?

"Even if I told you why, no one would believe ...... my story, and I'm sure no one would understand. I'm a cursed child."

"No, Ivan, you're not. I know a lot of people don't believe me, but I'm sure you'll be fine, Mr. Locke.

 Shannon spoke softly to him.



"I too ...... thought no one could help me until a little while ago. I had a curse on me and everyone I met was dying. But Mr. Locke was not afraid to help me. He saved me from the despair of this world. So even if you are in pain now, Mr. Locke can save you."



 What Shannon is saying is quite an exaggeration.

 I can't do everything myself.

 I wasn't going to get actively involved in this, but if Ivan wanted to help, that was one thing.



"What's going to happen in the village?"

"Soon, the dragon's seal will be broken. I don't think my brothers will believe me anyway.



 Ivan is a strange boy. He has a different kind of power from the snowmen.

 I cannot ignore what he is saying.



"I believe you. But why is your grandmother working so hard?"

"You'll find out soon enough. You'd better go home soon. They'll be back."

 They are .......



"Are you saying that the merchants of the magical land of Suiju have something to do with this?"

 Ivan neither confirmed nor denied.

 I suppose that means yes.



"How do you know all this?"

"I ...... heard about it. ......"



--Rock, we have a guest.

 Ivan had just started to say something when a group of people dressed in white, as if assimilated into the snow, surrounded us from a distance. There were about six of them in all.

 They were not many, but they suddenly fired their bows and arrows at us all at once.



"Lucky!"

--"Aiyo!



 Lucky swishes his tail and creates a defensive wind around us.

 The arrows flew into the air, gaining speed with the wind, and pierced the archers.

 With Lucky, it doesn't matter how many arrows are falling.



 Shannon ran to Ivan and returned with him in her arms.

"Don't worry. Mr. Rock is the coolest and strongest guy in the world. Sometimes he messes around a little too much, but he solves problems with surprising ease."



"Shannon-san ...... is in pain."

 Ivan looked at Shannon, his face red, as if he was having a hard time breathing from being held so tight against Shannon's chest.



"Oh, almost all the archers we brought with us have been wiped out. Who are you? Who told you that it was a simple job to hunt civilians?

 There was a rough guy with a cane, which we don't see here very often, and a good-looking guy who looked like a knight by contrast.



"I'm going to change the plan. If we don't get rid of these guys first, we'll be in trouble later.

"All right. I have nothing against you, but I hope you die here."



 The man with the wand suddenly shot a fireball of magic that enveloped us.

 He is indeed a wizard of the magical Suiju.



 He is a wizard of a very high level.

 But of course, that's just in general.



 When we look at the ancient magic of Domorte's House of Hellfire, ...... unfortunately, the level is completely different.

 Lucky yawns and slams his tail into the ground as a fireball comes flying at him.

--Will there be more? Should I hit him back next time? ----

"I'll leave it to you."



 Lucky's tail flapped and flapped in boredom.

 Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have enough power to entertain us with his playmates.



"Master, do you mind if I do it myself? It seems that Mr. Lucky is not satisfied.

"Sure. Shannon?




"I'll be there! Let's work together, Mr. Mellow."



Let's go. I'm not as scared as Lucky was just now.

 Mellow looks at Lucky for a moment, but Lucky looks away.

 Lucky...... hang in there!



"You licked me. I'm not going to take it easy on you just because you're a girl."

 They did not seem to understand the difference in their abilities.



 Mellow extinguishes the fireballs with his water magic, and rather than just shooting the waterballs at the man's body, he uses the momentum of the fireballs to hit him.



"Why is there such a brilliant woman in this place? That's not what I'm talking about. ......"

"That means you're weak. I would have ......"

 Shannon kicked the other man in the face in mid-air, and the other man went down without a fight.



 Shannon's one kick ...... should not be underestimated, but it seems that the enemy is not that strong.

 Shannon's movement ...... has matured, even though it is easy to get caught flat-footed in the snowy mountains.
