Chapter 28

Enraged S-Class Dragon

Flambert's POV

Flambert was struggling with the S-class dragon's hard flesh, as no matter where she shoots her Ice Arrow, it will always be repelled.

"Where exactly is its weak point? ... Tsk!"

While Flambert was thinking about that, she saw an incoming tail attack from the S-class dragon, so she immediately dodged it, but without a moment's notice, she noticed the dragon attack again using its claws.

When she dodged that, she put away her large bow and summoned an ice sword.

She then leaped into the S-class dragon's chest and slashed its abdomen with all her might.

"Haaah!"

Her attack was also unsuccessful, and her ice sword broke into two pieces.

"Tsk!"

But Flambert didn't still give up, she then took out her large bow and fired her Ice Arrows in front of the S-class dragon.

The burst of her Ice Arrow is powerful enough to blow away the head and abdomen of an A-class dragon.

It's also the most powerful attack that Flambert has.

"It can't be."

But the abdomen of the S-class dragon wasn't even scratched.

If nothing works, then what will I do?

Just as Flambert was thinking, the S-class dragon quickly took a step backward.

Then it lunged with its body at Flambert, and it tried to bite her.

Fortunately, Flambert was able to dodge it at the very last second.

She then drew her large bow, and she launched her Ice Arrow Shot into the head of the ice-covered S-class dragon.

All her arrows were able to hit the dragon's head before it could be repelled.

*Crack*

A small crack appeared on the ice at the head of the S-class dragon, and when that happened, the dragon retreated for a bit.

Hmmm?

Why is it retreating when my attack only caused a crack in the ice on its head?

Is that ice covering some important parts of that dragon?

Maybe...

"Flambert-sensei!"

When Flambert looked at where the voice was coming from, she noticed that Rohee and Katia were running towards her.

"I'm really glad to see the both of you safe."

"We're sorry that we got you worried."

"Don't worry, that won't happen again, as this time we're going to be more careful and focus on evading its attack."

"Yeah, that's right, you must focus on evading its attack, but while you were doing that, I want you guys to focus on attacking its..."

A white cloud of silvery breath then flew towards the three of them.

Flambert and Rohee jumped out in different directions.

After a while, the silvery white breath then hits the ground, causing a huge explosion.

Flambert then raised her voice as the explosion ceased.

"Rohee-san! Katia-san! Aim at the ice covering its head! Let's focus on destroying that part!"

"Roger that!"

"Got it!"

Katia and Rohee replied immediately while avoiding the falling ice blocks.

The two of them didn't have the time to ask why they were going to focus on destroying that specific part, as the S-class dragon didn't give them time to ask that question.

The S-class dragon's first target was Katia.

It pounced on her and swung its claws at her.

Before the attack landed on her, Katia used the detonation of her Buster Lancer and its explosion to evade the claws of the S-class dragon.

*Boom* *Boom* While being blown away by the force of the explosion of her Buster Lancer, Katia pulled the detonation trigger again to make a sharp turn.

With those maneuvers, Katia was able to slip past the claws of the S-class dragon, and when she got close to it, she struck its ice-covered head with her Buster Lancer.

Katia specifically attacked the part where Flambert had made a crack.

She then triggered the detonation of her weapon to cause additional damage.

*Crack* *Craaack*

The part that was hit by Katia's attack widened its crack.

This triggered the S-class dragon to retreat again.

There's no doubt about it now.

That S-class dragon is afraid of the destruction of the ice on its head.

Maybe that dragon is going all out to protect that part because it is a vulnerable spot.

At last, we now have a chance to defeat it.

"I won't let you get away!"

Rohee then pursues the retreating S-class dragon.

As if waiting for someone to pursue it, the S-class dragon then shoots the iceberg on its back.

A huge block of ice with a diameter of about 4 to 5 meters was fired at Rohee.

But Rohee smiled, as if she were just waiting for the dragon to use that attack.

"I'm going to get serious now!"

She firmly placed her feet on the ground and put all her strength into her arms, holding her Magnum Hammer.

When the ice block was near Rohee, she swung the Magnum Hammer as hard as she could.

Rohee then struck back the block of ice back to the S-class dragon.

And of course, her target was the head of the S-class dragon.

The ice block then hits the head of the dragon directly, completely destroying the ice covering it.

As a result of the destruction of the ice, the dragon's eyes and face were now fully exposed.

And the attack to the dragon didn't end there.

The impact of the ice block on the head of the dragon seemed to be quite strong, and the S-class dragon is now stunned.

"At last, an opening!"

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Flambert then summoned an Ice Arrow to her Large Bow and pulled it as hard as she could.

When she released it, the arrow went straight into the left eye of the S-class dragon, scattering a lot of blood.

The S-class dragon then howled in pain.

"It's working!"

"Alright!"

Rohee and Katia said those words happily as they finally inflicted damage on the dragon.

Flambert then continued to fire her Ice Arrows at the dragon's head, and as expected, all of them hit the dragon's head.

As expected, its weak point was the flesh on its head.

If we keep attacking here, then maybe...

After a few seconds, the S-class dragon let out a really loud roar that was full of rage.

Katia and Rohee, who were near the dragon, were blown away by the shockwave of its roar.

"Uwaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!"

They both screamed while they were being blown away.

Flambert was a little far away from the dragon, but even she still barely withstands the shock wave. 

However, the roar of the dragon was so loud that Flambert felt that her eardrums were about to burst.

When Flambert covered her ears, she then looked at the S-class dragon.

And what she saw was...

"You've got to be kidding me."

A hopeless scene.

The ice that was covering the head of the S-class dragon that they destroyed just a little while ago is now regenerating.

This time the ice wasn't only covering the face of the dragon but its whole body also.

And the ice on its head that covers its weak point was thicker than before.

The S-class dragon's left eye is now closed, but its right eye is glowing bright red, and its look is filled with anger.

Its eyes were directed straight at Flambert.

The terrifying stare and aura of the S-class dragon, whose anger has reached its peak, easily terrify Flambert, an S-class female knight.

This is scary...

What a murderous aura...

"Don't tell me that the dragon wasn't serious until now..."

With the S-class dragon's body covered in thick ice, it can only be surmised that it's now in its serious combat mode.

One can only assume that since the S-class dragon is now covered in an ice armor, its movement will become slower, but on the contrary, its agility has increased dramatically.

Using its improved limbs, it rushes forward.

It was definitely faster than before.

"Ugh" Because of how fast the charge of the S-class dragon hit Flambert, she couldn't react immediately, and the mythril shoulder pads that she was wearing were blown off, and the impact of the charge was so strong that she felt her shoulder almost come off.

While Flambert was staggering because of the attack of the S-class dragon, a strong gust of wind created by the same attack hit her. Flambert, unable to endure the consecutive attacks, fell to the ground.

"Guhaa!"

The S-class dragon, using its strong limbs, leaped into the heavens. After reaching the maximum height of the jump that it could do, it spins in mid-air and is now falling while its ice claws are stretched, preparing to attack Flambert.

When Flambert saw the attack of the S-class dragon from the sky, she felt that the attack would be fatal, but she couldn't do anything as the attack earlier had rendered her body immobile. 

"Flambert-senseeeeeeeeeeeeeeei!"

"Senseiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

When she heard the screams of Rohee and Katia, at that point, she realized that she was really going to die.

No....

I don't want to die yet...

I still haven't done anything to Zekudo...

Please help me...

"...Zekudo-kun!"

Driven by the fear of death, Flambert finally shouted her student's name.

When she did that, she felt ashamed as a teacher, as she was filled with sentimentality that was out of place.

She didn't want to give up, but given her situation, she couldn't do anything but give up and close her eyes.

Tears welled up in her eyes, knowing that she would not be saved.

Just when she finally accepted that she was going to die...

Whoosh!

The sound of the S-class dragon's claws piecing Flambert was heard.

But strangely, Flambert felt no pain.

When she opened her eyes, she wondered if she was already dead and in heaven.

"....What?"

She saw the S-class dragon missing one arm and a boy in black armor facing it while holding a long sword.
