Chapter 508: Dragon Hunt.
Fiery missiles—from spells and draconic abilities alike—came shooting at us from every direction as the lazing fire dragons sprung into action at their ruler’s commands. Fehrkatruk and his two rank A friends from our meeting in Iceskale shot the missiles down with the wyverns’ help, while Vifi targeted anything they didn’t hit in time with her crossbow.
[Hydra] was once again used to tether my party to me, allowing them to fully focus on defending us from the attacks while we fled. Fehrkatruk and his two buddies, unfortunately, were a bit too humongous for me to forcibly drag along, considering our clear size difference, so they had to make do on their own. Although his lava dragon friend was lumbering along, all of us were managing to flee at a reasonable pace.
Honestly, I was just happy they even came to help me out in the first place, especially against their own nest’s ruler. This could be considered a kind of betrayal, even if it was to help their princess. After all, Fehrkatruk’s father was a direct retainer to Maustoovaka; this would be similar to Tasianna betraying me for Mom, or maybe one of my siblings.
It would not look well after this event was over.
Regardless, we could worry about that later after we got away from my pursuers.
Gotta help out. Let’s see—
‘[Quartz Regen]! Large, hard, white corrosive obsidian will block their flying directions. Bash through them head first? Well, have fun getting acid on your face!’
Correct, choice, Hikari! [Sun, Consume All] fills the same large-scale AoE niche, but its projectiles are pure holy-fire element type. The dragons will be able to tank through them, but not when the spell contains [Corrosive Fire]!
Teaching Hikari basic combat tricks sure was fun, hehe.
