Chapter 301: “Rock Spear – Piercing Rainbow Spear” (Please Subscribe!)

On the Crystal Street, the battle between adventurers and monsters began in the blink of an eye.

Leaving aside Lulune, who was the only one playing support, Reivice and Ais, Tree Dragon and Izay, all tacitly sought out their own opponents, sparking intense combat among the four.

Great Swords were swung high, thin swords slid horizontally. The frenzied dance of blades clashed, harmonized, and resonated, silver glimmers crisscrossing the air multiple times.

The figures of Ais and Reivice wove through the battlefield, leaving afterimages as they moved freely across the canvas of the street. In the not-so-wide street, they repeatedly exchanged positions.

The Tree Dragon, leveraging its size advantage, exuded an unstoppable aura with every movement. Standing before it, Izay was barely the size of one of its claws.

But this enormous size difference had almost no practical effect in battle.

Do you know that spear users are generally very agile?～(dogo)

No matter how powerful an attack is, if it doesn’t hit, there’s no damage!

Like a blue flame blooming in a strong wind, Izay nimbly dodged the descending dragon claw and countered with a thrust from his spear.

The sharp spear tip caught the Tree Dragon’s neck.

The tough, thick scales were effortlessly pierced by the enchanted spear, causing the Tree Dragon to jerk its head in pain.

A roar akin to tearing iron reverberated through the air.

It lowered its head and opened its massive jaws, intending to swallow the human who dared to wound it whole.

However, Izay skillfully evaded and kicked off the Tree Dragon’s face, flipping backward to create distance.

“So strong!”

Lulune watched, wide-eyed, hiding behind a large crystal pillar.

This scene was as unbelievable as an ant beating up an elephant.

But the reality was right before her eyes; the crystal shards striking her face reminded her that this wasn’t a dream.

The force of Izay’s kick even caused a shockwave. The Tree Dragon lost control and fell to the ground, kicking up sand and broken blue crystal fragments flying everywhere, landing with a thunderous crash.

Originally, Izay might have found it difficult to achieve this with his current strength.

But “Dragon Slayer,” the ultimate skill against dragons, now activates!

Massive boosts to all ability values aren’t just for show!

“—Rock Spear – Piercing Rainbow Spear!!”

At the first opportunity after creating distance, Izay cast his magic.

A brilliant golden magic circle unfolded behind him, hanging diagonally above, its diameter of over ten meters indicating the terrifying scale of this magic.

The mana within his body transformed into golden light points, rapidly coalescing. A dark gold spear made of rock material emerged.

Its design referenced what Izay remembered, the rock spear tearing through the air ahead, carrying an energy that sent shivers down the spine as it charged toward the Tree Dragon.

“Hoooooooommmmmmmbbbb——!”

The impact of the rock spear shook the earth, creating a depression. The heavy rock elemental energy spread around, raising dust clouds.

Even this Tree Dragon couldn’t handle Izay’s magic well, being impaled and deeply embedded into the ground, its skin torn open.

But upon seeing this, Izay slightly furrowed his brow.

“That last attack didn’t leave deep wounds… neither did the rock spear perform as expected…”

Indeed.

In simple terms, the damage was too low.

Despite looking impressive, it essentially followed the rule of all smoke and no damage.

At best, it could be considered a “wound” that merely caused pain.

With his abilities significantly enhanced by the skill, he shouldn’t have dealt such low damage against a dragon of the same level.

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, Izay had a thought.

He looked at Ais’ battlefield.

Among Level 5 adventurers, Ais’ current ability values were definitely beyond standard.

Strength and endurance at S rank, agility and dexterity both at double S rank, and finally magic at triple S rank.

But without using the magic “Wind Spirit Dash,” she was currently at a disadvantage in her fight against Reivice.

Their afterimages reflected on the crystal pillars scattered like clones, countless azure silhouettes darting across the Crystal Street.

Yet Izay could tell that Ais was fighting hard, being suppressed.

And that Tree Dragon’s defense far exceeded the Level 5 category.

“Could these two… both be Level 6?”

Izay stared in surprise at the enemy slowly climbing out of the deep pit, carefully examining it. That distinct green body seemed to proclaim what kind of creature it was.

Different from the ordinary Tree Dragons or Enhanced Tree Dragons in his memory.

It had two pairs—four wings, twisted dragon claws wrapped in thick dead branches, colorful scales covering its massive body, and a grotesque head.

Generally resembling a Tree Dragon, but beneath the scales pulsating with each breath were red lines resembling tree roots and stems.

This vibrant red extended all the way to the heart area, eventually disappearing into it, radiating the pulse of life.

A fairy spirit clone in the form of a Tree Dragon…

Even though this was the first time encountering such an enemy, and there was no description of this monster in his memory, Izay still vaguely guessed the truth of its existence.

Not certain, but at least nine out of ten chances.

“This is quite unexpected… I wonder if the Level 6 Fairy Spirit Clone counts…”

Re-raising his Yetz, Izay muttered happily to himself.

Didn’t the trial mission say traditional dungeon monsters aren’t included in the statistics?

What about fairy spirit clones, which differ from normal monsters?

I wonder if it works.

Swish, swish!

Black tree roots, like octopus tentacles targeting prey, pierced through space and lunged at Izay, so fast they condensed into lines in his vision.

“Let’s try anyway… Haven’t gone all out in a while!”

Izay casually sidestepped the attacks from both sides, splitting the root aimed directly at his forehead in half.

After defusing the assault, he re-raised Yetz.

“Let the Curtain Fall (Orionids)!!”

“Bring Down the End (Orionids)!!!”

Boom——!

Chanting his unique magical incantations, boundless waves of deep blue mana surged forth.

The released mana spiraled like a tornado, enveloping Izay’s adventurer’s light armor along with his weapons and gear, emitting an overwhelmingly powerful pressure. The intense sense of danger prompted the Tree Dragon to constrict its pupils.

In the next instant, the dazzling starry curtain vanished in a flash, the deep blue Starflame surrounding Izay condensed into substance, tightly swirling around him. His sapphire eyes gleamed with silvery brilliance.

Crack, crack…

Under the torment of Izay’s unparalleled mana, the ground began to uncontrollably crack.

With the Additional Magic activated, the oppressive aura emanating from him alone was enough to instill fear.

“This power… impossible!?”

“It’s Izay’s magic.”

In the nearby battlefield, Reivice and Ais also felt some influence.

After all, during fierce combat, the sudden appearance of a powerful “third party” was the most threatening.

Ais was fine; she was already familiar with Izay’s strength.

But Reivice was different. She had never felt a sense of crisis from a human before.

Remember, she’s Level 6!

“Some time ago, a very powerful adventurer appeared. Be careful.” That’s what Enyo told her.

And cautiously following Enyo’s warning, she deliberately consumed a large number of magic stones to boost her power during this period, even creating a new fairy monster to enhance her combat strength.

She had been cautious to this extent, and yet it wasn’t enough!?

What a joke!
