191-185 Playfulness and potential




 The place where he thought the twin dragons were sealed was about four times the size of the training ground in the Adventurer's Guild.
 Even so, it still felt small because of the water dragon in front of him and the wind dragon that was waiting behind him.

 It's exactly like a tiger at the front gate and a wolf at the back gate.
 The battle was allowed to be set up at my timing, but I'm sure the little tricks won't get through.
 However, even if you aim for a big move all of a sudden, you know the outcome.
 
''Water Dragon, if I unleash my five shot dragon sword, my magic power will be depleted. So I'm sorry, can you wait until I recover?
 Good. Use your wisdom to hunt me down.
 Does this mean we can negotiate and create a bind?
 However, even though we didn't fight, I decided not to make any more concessions as it would be counterproductive.
''Since you won't be an opponent even if you fight, let the water dragon decide how to go easy on you while you fight.
 Nuh-uh.
"This time, I take my place as the Four Heavenly Dragon Knight, Luciel, on a quest for a water dragon.
 Seeing the water dragon that roared as if a little troubled, I instantly circulated my magic power through my body, countered damage from physical and magical attacks, then quickly activated the area barrier, activated my body strengthening, and kicked the ground in one go while making a name for myself.

 That's how big his figure is, so his movements should be slow.
 I figured it was a little better to get close enough to not be able to spit out a breath than to eat a breath that I couldn't avoid.

 Then I put magic power into the illusion sword from a position less than ten meters away from the water dragon and activated my newly acquired power.
''Flame Dragon Sword, Thunder Dragon Sword, Earth Dragon Sword.
 He decided to try to break through head-on with three major techniques in a row rather than halfway through a poorly executed small and major move.

 However, without even grasping the characteristics of those techniques, the adverse effects of trying them out in a blitzkrieg would appear.
 The Flame Dragon and Thunder Dragon flew towards the Water Dragon, but the Earth Dragon didn't activate it.

 Even so, before he could blink, the flame dragon and thunder dragon ate into the water dragon.
 At that moment, a tremendous amount of steam rose up.
 I sneakily consumed more than half of the magic power, I stood dizzy and immediately tried to chase after it without undoing my body strengthening.

 But it was impossible to do so.

What? Frozen?
 Before I knew it, my legs were frozen and I couldn't move.

 And when the steam that rose up disappeared, there was a water dragon with its body covered in ice, existing as if nothing had happened.
 ''Moderately bold is good, but you have to think more about your opponent's attributes.
"You can't control the ice, you should change your name to Water Ice Dragon.
 So, why do you refuse to purify the ice that governs water? Will you come again?
 When the attack from the water dragon comes, and when it is time to fortify its body and brace itself, the water dragon is struck by an unexpected blow. A dragon made of earth ... earth snake bit the water dragon from behind the water dragon.

 However, the water dragon didn't seem to expect this, and the attack hit him.
 Well, the one who was most surprised was me, the one who was most surprised was me, but I took this opportunity to try to break the ice somehow, but I couldn't break it at all.

 ''What a wise move, setting up a time difference attack by one person and having a conversation in order to catch me off guard. This way, I won't have to be bored.
 In the next moment, water appeared out of nothing and stopped when it swelled up more and more, becoming larger and larger than a water dragon.

 ''Water exists in this air in numerous ways that are just not visible. I can use it for both offense and defense.''
 A chunk the size of a baseball flew from the giant water ball in unavoidable numbers.
It's a moderately powerful one, but this one.
 I put my magic power into my illusionary sword and decided to break the ice on my legs first, but the water dragon's attacks gradually increased in intensity, and with the water turning even more icy, I had no choice but to manage to defend myself with my large shield.

 ''Nuh-uh, this is boring.
 When he thought he heard the water dragon's voice after a little while, the ice under his feet melted and all the water went back to the water dragon.

 ''Sage, can't you use attribute magic, my lord?''
You can't use it. You can only use holy attribute magic, other magic will only be clothed and will not be activated.
 Then let's concoct some fire magic and concentrate it on his feet.
 As I did as I was told, my legs were frozen the moment I chanted my fire magic.
''It's cold!''
 If you can acquire fire magic, use it to melt the ice. Until you can move, you should stay there and freeze steadily.
Okay.
 I couldn't do anything even if I argued here, I followed the water dragon's instructions.

 I meditate on the magic power inside my body, with the image of extracting only the fire attribute from it, I knead and wear the magic power of the fire.
 You can feel the gaze of the water dragon and the wind dragon, but they are probably talking to each other.
 It's fine if people think this is disappointing or something, but if you mess up, you won't be allowed to leave this place for the rest of your life, so you decided to hope for the training with all your might.

 I don't know how long it took, but my legs went from cold to painful and then I didn't feel anything.
 Still, they were only clothed in magic power and couldn't melt the ice.

 ''O wise man. The power of our people, as well as the power of the spirits, are too bound by your common sense. If you don't have a bit more of a sense of fun, you'll spend your entire life in an ice coffin?
 I felt like I wanted to have a three-way conversation with Gou Luck teacher and High Luck teacher to find out why my prediction was only correct at this time.

''Well please don't do that. I don't have the hobby of being sealed in the permafrost, as expected! More playful than that?
 That's right. I'll give you one hint. I have just used water for attack and defense, but all water can be used for both attack and defense.
Offense and defense but that's not exactly...
 《How foolish of you to judge what you can't do without doing anything, and nip it in the bud without even checking the new possibilities. If you're worried about the smallest thing, then you'd better be on ice.
What? Wait a minute.
 My body became iced in the blink of an eye, and everything but my face was completely captured in a mass of ice.

 ''If you're not really driven into a corner, it's people who only think about superfluous things. After that, use your own strength to break through it.
 When the water dragon told him that, he landed backwards and went to sleep with his toguro wrapped around him.
 The wind dragon was already asleep with the same toguro wrapped around him.

 It seemed as if he had completely lost interest, having been branded as a disappointment.
 Well, not about Ssangyong's reputation, that's fine.
 However, if I were to freeze it, but embedding my body in the ice would be a foul play indeed.
 He didn't want to fight against the very real boss, who couldn't even move, much less escape.

 Before I managed to stop thinking, I used the hints that Water Dragon had told me to find a way to solve the problem.

 The water dragon said that the stereotypes I had were getting in the way.
 I'm going to be the first to admit that I'm a bit of an idiot.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 I thought about wearing a flame dragon and using it as armor, but this is also not realistic.
 As soon as I did that, my body would be burned by the flames.
 What do we do? The words run through my brain. 

 Even if it's a bad idea, do you still want to wear a flame dragon? Can you put it on better than that? If you do that, you won't really get burned if you're a normal person.
 I have the power I returned to, and what if I can't do as much as clothe myself in a flame dragon?
 If that's the case, I'll do my best to be playful.

 I shouted loudly as I shook out the energy that had managed to hold my consciousness together and poured my magic power into the illusory sword at once.
''Protect the holy dragon, burn it up, flame dragon, free me from this abominable ice!''
 At that moment, as the pale dragon clung to his armor, the scarlet dragon began to spin outside in a pale glow.
 Then, in the blink of an eye, the ice melted.
 And the holy dragon that I protected and the flame dragon that melted everything down disappeared as if to say its role was over.
''How about it!
 I found myself screaming, but all at once I was going to be depleted of magic power, and soon I would be exposed to the haplessness of not being able to stand unless I drank the magic potion.
 However, he couldn't overcome the sickening feeling of magic power depletion.

 ''Mm. The idea is good, but it can't be used in an actual battle. Until my magic power recovers, let's take a break and have a magical discussion with me.
 Then I will join you.
 Isn't the reason why the Water Dragon and the Wind Dragon lived here in Nerdal is because this is the Mage's Guild, the headquarters of magic?
 I couldn't help but have that suspicion.
