10 . I was supposed to confront Salamander



 Many of the magic described in the magic books of the magical world are things I've never seen before.
 Therefore, it is very interesting, and it is fun to learn it.
 However, the contents of the book are often fragmented, so it is difficult to understand the contents and effects, and there are various restrictions set up, and I have to think about how to use them.

 I tried a magic called "Wall Generation (Wall Makeover)" and found that it worked.
 I was able to generate a sturdy, fairly large stone wall.
 This would be useful for building houses in the mountains...........................I thought.
 This wall........when I move a certain distance away from it, it starts to move with me.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you with this.
 When I asked Foldente about this magic, he told me
It's mainly used to prevent attacks on allies.
 It's not a good idea to use it against the walls of a house, because the chanters' magic power is consumed at a constant rate as long as the walls are formed.
 And that was that.
 Really, things don't work out the way you want them to.

 A few days later.
 I arrived at the village at the foot of Mount Gorn on the day of my monthly visit to deliver medicine.
 
 This one unit belongs to the royal capital, and the villages scattered throughout this unit pay an appropriate amount of tax to the capital every year.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future.

 According to Alea, the knights of the garrison have been doing something suspicious lately.
 It is said that the knights of the garrison frequently go out to the depths of the forest in the northern part of Mount Gorun and do something.
''There are a lot of ferocious beasts in that area.......I hope nothing happens.''

 I heard that the village had given a warning, but the only response from the garrison was, "There's no one out there going to such an area.

 When I heard that story, I couldn't help but feel bad about it.

''Well........the knights in the garrison are generally a group of newbies or incompetents, you know.
 On the way home, Eldena the Elf sighed as she said this.

 These words could be said to be a true representation of the reality of the frontier garrison.

 It is very difficult to return to the capital once you are there, so it is very unpopular to work in a frontier garrison, and it is rare for anyone to take the initiative to go there.
 Therefore, in order to secure the necessary manpower for this garrison, which has so many of them, most of the knights of the King's Landing try to keep the headcount in line by either sending fresh recruits who don't know the right or left yet, or sending those who have caused some problems as left-behind. As a result, the knights working in the frontier garrison are generally characterized by low moral character, and there are not a few of them who go to nearby villages without permission and demand payment for escorting, which is supposed to be done for free, or perform acts that resemble extortion or robbery.
"I guess they are trying to get rich by finding an underground dungeon that looks like it might contain ore or treasure...
 I remember the stories I hear often in the royal capital, and I too can't help but sigh.
 It's a good thing that they have the time to devote to such things, they need to do more to protect the local police force.
 

 It wasn't just me, everyone had a bad feeling about it.

 It was two days after we returned home that the bad feeling became a reality.

'Master~, there's some kind of bear on fire up in the mountains~'
 At Korok's words, I rushed to the window.
 I wondered if Mount Gorn had erupted, but it hadn't.
 The area at the foot of Mount Gorun, deep in the forest, was covered in a raging fire.
I'm not sure if this is a forest fire, but it's something strange...
 Normally, a forest fire would spread gradually.
 However, this fire occasionally stretched a straight pillar of flame to the surrounding area, spreading the fire's scope.

 It was as if there was something spitting flames, something on the loose....

 That's unusual. Salamander is furious.
 Foldente, who had been soaking in the hot spring since daylight, let out a carefree voice.

 After all, there's a huge cave in that vicinity, and there's a huge salamander living there for nearly a hundred years.
 That salamander is not the kind of boy who would go into a rage and lash out.
 Foldente puts his index finger to his cheek and cocks his head slightly.

''It's not good ... I can feel the vibrations of someone running away in that area.
There's a settlement of forest-dwelling sub-humans in that area.
 At Erdena's words, Yome looks flustered and flaps his hands.

 Anyway, it's not good if I don't do this.
 
"There might be something I can do. Anyway, let's get there as soon as possible.
 However, to get to that area, it would take more than a day on horseback, and more than half a day to get a ride on a Korok in bear form. Moreover, it's unknown whether Korok, who is still a child, has the stamina to run for more than half a day in the first place.
''Mr. Safate! I can go!
 As I was thinking about it, Aura called out to me forcefully.
 It's true that if you're riding on Aura's dragon form, you can reach it in a few minutes.
"Aura, please but please don't take it too hard.
 Although she was feeling better, she was still a sickly Aura.
 Nodding at my words, Aura stretched out all at once in the clearing in front of the house.
'Hahhhhhh!
 It roars loudly.
 Its roar gradually became that of a beast, and its form changed into a red-scaled dragon (dragon) form.
 Although I had seen her sister Ela's dragon (dragon) form before, her aura was only her sister, and it was two times larger than Ela's dragon (dragon) form.
 You will be able to get the most out of it.
I'm sure you'll be able to help me.
 Aura nodded a little at my words, and with that, her wings flapped wide, and at once she soared into the sky.

 We arrived in a few moments, and the area around the base of Mount Gorn was a complete disaster.
 The forest around it had been extensively destroyed and engulfed in flames as the salamanders there continued to rampage through the area, spitting fire in a mess and trampling the surroundings.
 In that one unit, quite a few of the fleeing sub-people could be seen.

 We have to stop that salamander somehow....

 However, this salamander was extremely large.
 I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.
 It's a good idea to use my own magic to help you out, but I can't think of a magic that's effective against such a huge salamander.
''Anyway, we'll just have to try it.''
 Once she has landed, Erdena jumps off the back of the aura and chants at the salamander, which continues to flail about.
 In response to the chant, thick green ivy wraps around the salamander's legs, trying to hold it in place.
 It is a natural magic that Erdena specializes in.

 ........But the salamander took an abominable glance at the ivy wrapped around its own leg and spat out a flame from its mouth, burning it away in an instant.
 Eldena was good at nature and earth magic, but it wasn't a good match for Salamander, the incarnation of fire.

'Erdena, Unya, and Yome, let them blame the people who are running late! Make sure you never go in the direction the salamander is going.
 Ella, make sure no one else has missed running from the sky.
 Aura, take me one more time and get me closer to the salamander, please.
 Everyone nodded at my words and ran to each of them.

 Ela took on the form of a dragon herself and flew up into the sky.
Then, Aura, please.
 At my words, he roared loudly once and his aura soared with power.

'Duh? What are they going to do?
 I was startled when I suddenly heard Foldente's voice from behind me.
 I didn't think he was following me with his thought body.
''Come to think of it, can't you use Foldente's magic to stop him?
 At my words, Foldente frowned.
I could do whatever I want when I'm alive, but I'm useless now.
 I pause for a hand up.
 Although I was disappointed, because I expected quite a bit, I'm in no position to say that now.

 Anyway, let's do what we can do.
 Having made up my mind to do so, I put my hands in front of me and began chanting.

 -Chanting, Lightning

 -Fire Lance

 -Chanting, Ice Block

 I fired a series of high-powered attack magic at the salamander in succession, which I can do now.

 However, although I was able to slow down the salamander's movements somewhat, its hot scales seemed to prevent it from doing much damage to the main body.
 Me, and the aura carrying Foldente on board, danced in a circle around the salamander to make it easier for me to attack.
 Since I wasn't yet an adult dragon, Aura, who couldn't let out a roar of fire (breath) because she wasn't yet an adult dragon, would swoop in on the salamander whenever she saw an opening and attack its body with her sharp claws, but she couldn't even scratch it against the salamander's hard scales.

''At least if I can stun him, hey. That guy should be able to calm down, too.
 Foldente said, hmmm, thoughtfully.

 Fainting........fainting.......

 I desperately think about it.
 However, I've already tried most of the attack magic I can use.....

 Then a thought occurred to me.

'It's one or two things... but I'll give it a go!
 Aura! At top speed, plunge straight for the salamander's head! Straight ahead and level, please!
 Hearing my words, Aura bellowed loudly, and once it was in the sky, it flew up to the sky in a big way, and from there, it closed its wings and fell in a direct slide.

 The aura, which was falling towards the ground at a considerable speed, unfurled its wings just before it crashed and turned its direction of travel towards the salamander without slowing down.
 Aura maintained a horizontal angle to the salamander and glided towards the salamander without slowing down.
"No way, you're going to hit me? You'll never be safe with this little dragon girl if you hit her, either!
 Foldente materializes only his hand and pokes me in the head.

 But I don't move.
 
 I've been staring at the salamander while facing straight ahead, and Foldente, who had been watching my face from the side, hmmm, and after a moment's thought, folded his arms and
Oh, my goodness, you've got a plan, don't you? 
 I started humming behind me, just to see what I could do.

 The salamander in our direction of travel notices a red dragon/aura charging directly at him and tries to spit fire out of its mouth.
 I chanted a moment earlier than that, and

 -Chanting, Ice Block

 A huge chunk of ice was dropped on the salamander's head.
 Like before, it didn't do much damage, but it was enough to interrupt the flames he was about to spit.

 Now.

 -Chanting and Wall Making

 A huge wall forms behind me as I ride the dragon.
 The wall is chasing me, riding on the aura and rapidly moving away from me with great speed.
 The feature of this magic is that the wall created by the wall-generating magic follows the surgeon while maintaining a certain distance away from the creator. The weight of the wall is not felt at all, but the hardness of the wall remains the same.

''Still aura! Keep going and just barely slip past the side of the salamander's head!
 Just as I said, the aura is about a piece of ice and slips past the salamander's head, which is shaking its head, at super speed.

 The next moment.

 The wall that had been chasing me smashed into the salamander's face.

 -WWW!

 The unvoiced roar of the salamander echoed in the sky.
 It shook the surrounding trees violently, like an ultrasound.

 The wall that had been generated by the chanting shattered into pieces of wood from the impact of the violent collision with the salamander.
 The salamander slowly fell to the spot, showering the pieces of it all over his body.
