Chapter 122 - The Fire Dragon Was Tough

The Fire Dragon Was Tough

I waited and prayed that the Fire Dragon would stay calm. And then half an hour passed.

A slime started to scream.

‘The dragon! It’s coming this way!’

So the Fire Dragon was moving towards us after all.

It had moved slowly before the rain, but now it was roaring with anger as it dashed forward.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRAHH!!!”

The roar was so loud that it shook the earth. Even the slimes that were over a kilometer away were able to feel it.

‘Ahhhhh!’

‘I’m scared!’

‘This is bad! I don’t think that even Yuji can win against it!’

The slimes and Proud Wolf shouted after hearing the roar.

As they were monsters themselves, they could feel the difference in power.

‘...Could you guys move back? I want you to watch, but from a distance that you won’t be evaporated.’

‘I think it would be fine if we watched from the bridge!’

‘...Are you sure, Proud Wolf?’

There was a strong bridge that you passed on the way to the volcanic mountain.

However, even a strong bridge would break in an instant after being stomped on by the Fire Dragon.

Actually, it was made of wood, so it would burn just as the Fire Dragon got close to it.

‘But the Fire Dragon won’t go to the bridge!’

‘It should be fine!’

The slimes answered my question.

Apparently, as they were monsters, they were much better at understanding the Fire Dragon’s movements.

‘All right, then watch it from there. ...But if it gets dangerous, don’t hesitate to run away.’

‘Okay!’

‘Understood!’

And with that, the Proud Wolf put the slimes on his back and then he ran towards the bridge.

After the Proud Wolf was stationed on the bridge, the Fire Dragon approached the river.

As the slimes had predicted, it arrived at a short distance away from the bridge.

As the town had already sent out an order to evacuate, I left the inn to evacuate too–or pretended to, while I instead went to join the slimes.

I couldn’t just run and hide while the slimes faced the Fire Dragon.

As all of the other monsters had escaped, there was no chance of me being attacked and having to waste any energy.

‘Here it comes!’

‘It’s getting warmer!’

While it was at a distance, they could feel the heat from the Fire Dragon.

Since I was using ‘Shared Senses,’ I was able to feel it too—and it was definitely getting warmer.

However, it was not dangerously hot.

As I waited and watched—the Fire Dragon charged straight into the river.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHAAAAA!”

The heat of the Fire Dragon was causing the surface of the river to bubble and evaporate.

An incredible amount of steam rose into the air.

As for the Fire Dragon—it seemed to be in pain.

It roared angrily and its movements grew sluggish.

You only needed a few dozen liters of water to kill a normal lesser fire dragon.

—That meant that the river water could kill hundreds of lesser fire dragons in a second.

With this much water and this much heat being robbed, even a Fire Dragon would be in pain.

However, it did not stop the wild run.

It evaporated all of the water coming downstream as it slowly made its way forward.

And then—

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHH!!”

With a giant roar, it reached the other side of the river.

At the same time, the trees on the other side went up in flames.

‘This is bad! We better get out of here!’

‘Run!’

And with that, the Proud Wold and slimes escaped from the bridge.

So the first river was not enough to stop the Fire Dragon.

But it had still been somewhat effective.

The second river was twice as wide as the last one.

It was also deeper.

In that case...maybe it would be enough to stop it.
