I went back to the inn town of Fife and headed to the guard's station and handed the skinhead man over.
　I reported the story to the chief of the guard, and I thought that this was all settled...... when disaster struck.
　The place is the western sea, far from the inn town of Fife, a place I've never been, so I can't use [Spatial Leap].
　It looks like we'll have to ride on a black dragon or a mechanical dragon.

''Ko, what's going on?''

　Iris asks curiously.
　Come to think of it, I was in the middle of patting my head.

'A calamity has appeared. ...... Iris, can you go?
Of course. This time I'll make it worth your while.

　Iris nodded with a confident look on her face.
　This is reliable.

'...... Ko-san, disaster, is it?'

　It seemed that she had heard my words, and Lily had a serious expression on her face.

''Please, be careful, please.
It'll be fine. I'll be fine.

　I nodded and then turned my gaze to Char.

'Char, I hear the disaster is in the western ocean. Do you have any idea what it is?
'It's difficult: ....... I could narrow it down if I had a little more information: ......

　Charu drops her eyes apologetically.

　--that's when the Northern Lights appeared in the night sky.

　A curtain of seven shining colors of light shimmering in the heavens, shimmering high in the sky.
　It was a fantastic and beautiful sight, but for some reason it had an ominous feel to it.

''Ko-sama, I've found out what the disaster is.

　Charu tells me while looking up at the night sky of the Northern Lights.

''Perhaps the one that appeared was the 'White Dragon of the Extinction Realm.'''
What kind of disaster is this?
I've only heard stories about how they create large icicles from seawater and drop them from the sky: ......

　Airdrop?
　I don't think it's possible, but is this white dragon or something like that carrying a pillar of ice with a yo-yo and throwing it to the ground with a flop?
　No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
　It would have to use a more mystical, or perhaps inhuman, ability to attack us.

　...... And in fact, the way the white dragon attacked was unexpected.

　Just as the night sky of the Northern Lights seemed to distort in a gnarled manner, a huge icicle appeared from it and began to fall towards us.
　If it crashed into the ground, the impact would blow away the inn town of Fife.

　I wouldn't let that happen.

　I quickly switched my equipment to the Diabolos Armor and extended my right hand towards the heavens.
　With the image of crushing an approaching icicle, I activate my dark magic.

''--Dark Burst!

　A dark flash of light painted the night sky of the Aurora.
　An explosion, then a roar.
　The air trembled and the earth shook in the aftermath of the impact.

　Then, after everything had passed, the icicle had disappeared without a trace.
　Hmph.
　Apparently, the crisis was averted.

'Awesome ......'

　Charu muttered, looking somewhat stunned, with an expression of surprise on his face.

''To obliterate such a large icicle without leaving a trace, Ko-sama really has an extraordinary power, doesn't he?
I mean, isn't Ko's magic more flashy than before?

　When Iris tilted her head, Lily nodded coyly beside her.

I agree with Iris-san. Clearly, the power has increased.
''I'm surprised he's still growing, even though he's just so strong. Ko is really substandard. ......

　In fact, I wonder how much stronger I'll become.
　My magic is increasing in power, probably because of the leveling up.
　My current level is 91, but will I canst at 99, or will I keep going up past 100?

　Well, as I fight the calamity, my level will probably go up, and I'll think about it when the time comes.
　But more importantly, let's finish defeating the white dragon.

''Lily, Char, the two of you, explain the situation well to the captain of the guard. Can you do that?
I'll take care of it.
I'll see to it. If Ko-sama says so, I'll do it.

　I left the rest to Lily and Charu, and took Iris out of the city.
　When I selected 'Tyrannical Mechanical Dragon' from the item box, space was distorted and a crystal dragon wrapped in silver armor appeared.

''Gaa!''

　The mechanical dragon squealed in greeting and then lowered its body to lie on its stomach.
　I guess it's making it easier for us to ride.
　Iris stared at the mechanical dragon intently, but eventually muttered to herself: "Hey Ko.

'Hey ko. I think I recognize this dragon, is it my imagination ......?
''You understand very well. I [created] from a violent dragon and a guardian golem.
Does that mean you've altered the disaster and added it to your ranks?
Well, sort of.
''To be honest, I feel like Ko is more of a disaster, not only with a black dragon, but also with a rabid dragon following him. We have to be careful not to displease him.

　Iris said this in a joking tone, and gave a mischievous smile.

''I'm not that angry,''
'You're right, if you ask me. I've known Coe for a long time and I've yet to see you angry, not once.

　While exchanging these conversations, we scrambled up the body of the mechanical dragon.
　When we reached the back, the armor around its neck undulated like clay and eventually took the shape of a seat.
　...... Apparently, the metal parts on the surface can be transformed at will by the will of the mechanical dragon.

　I'm sure that he went out of his way to make a seat for me and Iris.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

　Once we took our seats, the mechanical dragon began to slowly move its wings.
　Eventually it floated up to a high altitude and began to move towards the western ocean.

　As we block its path, the Aurora sky distorts and a second icicle falls down.
　It seems that the white dragon has its sights set on me.
　Well, it's only natural.
　I have a [Disaster Killer], and I'm probably the one that White Dragon wants to eliminate as a top priority.

''...... It's useless.''

　He reached out his right hand and activated the Dark Burst along with the image of crushing it.
　The ice pillar was blown away without a trace.

　Eventually, when the mechanical dragon was out to sea, the white dragon's attack method changed.
　Hundreds, no, thousands of small icicles flew in, filling the night sky in the west.
　Is it the spirit of "a few shots are better than none"?
　It's a disaster of ideas like a human being.

"That's a lot of icicles. ......

　Right next to me, Iris gulped.

'I wonder if that's a bit much to blow up with magic: ......
''Right. ...... Let's let the mechanical dragons do their thing here.
"--gaaaaahhhh!

　As if in response to my words, the mechanical dragon let out a yell.
　It seemed to slow down its flight speed, but then it spread its wings wide.

　Sparks bounced off the surface of its wings and lightning gushed out.
　The pale sparks branched out in countless numbers, shooting down icicles from one side to the other.

　The shattered pieces of ice sparkled around us.

If we check the [Auto Mapping], we're almost to the white dragon.
　Now, let's have a showdown, shall we?
