  Chapter 239: Desire {TL: By Creed} The Purgatory Dragon let out a scream and rolled on the ground. Of course, it had probably never had its wings cut off before. Writhing in excruciating pain, it was panicking in the face of an impossible reality. But we still couldn't let our guard down. They say a wounded tiger is the most dangerous... It might still have some hidden trump card. We had to corner it carefully, without rushing— "Hmph hmph hmm! In the end, you're no match for the Licorice-chan! Now, prepare yourself!" "Wha—!?" Licorice, who was supposed to have just delivered the Snow Crystal Sword, suddenly joined the battle. She leapt forward and began chanting a spell. "Licorice-chan Fire!" A rather large fireball shot out and struck the Purgatory Dragon directly. It caused a decent-sized explosion, but... "Graahh!!!" "Kyaaa!?" A decent attack just wasn’t enough. All it did was anger the dragon, and Licori...

  Chapter 238 Sorry for the wait! {TL: By Creed} The blade snapped in the middle and spun through the air. I stared at the scene in a daze. “Ah…!?” I snapped back to my senses quickly, but I was a moment too late. Seizing the opportunity, the Purgatory Dragon spun its body and slammed its tail at me. I barely managed to dodge, but it grazed me, and blood started to flow. An attack from the massive body of the Purgatory Dragon is extremely powerful. Even a graze could be fatal if you’re unlucky. Fortunately, I avoided a critical hit, but I was bleeding heavily. “Damn it…!” Drinking a potion, I dodged the follow-up attack. I somehow managed to get through the crisis. The opponent is weakened. If possible, I’d like to press the attack like this… When I glanced behind me, I saw that Sofia’s healing wasn’t finished. It looked like she was close, but I wasn’t sure if she’d make it in time. And I, most importantly, had no weapon. Like this, I couldn’t do anything— “...

  Chapter 237: The battle situation is turning {TL: By Creed} “Ah…!” A massive tail, like a wall, came rushing toward me. Its movement was oddly slow. But my own movements were slow too—I couldn’t move quickly. This is… bad? Death… “Fate!!!” “Whoa!?” Suddenly, my body floated lightly into the air. No—that’s not it. Sofia had picked me up. She leapt high and landed gracefully. Then she set me down on the ground. “Are you alright!?” “Y-yeah… thanks.” “I’m glad… ngh.” “Sofia!?” She staggered slightly, and I hurried to support her. Looking closer, I saw a laceration on her dominant right arm. Her beautiful hand was stained with blood. “Don’t tell me… when you saved me just now…” “I’m fine.” That’s what she said, but it was obvious she was just putting on a brave face. “Damn…!” I felt pathetic. Instead of being her strength, I had only held her back. But—regret can come later. So can self-reflection. Right now, I need to focus on the fight. “Sofia, use a...

  Chapter 236: Move forward without fear {TL: By Creed} “Nuooooooo!!!” Without any fear of the dragon's breath, Horn stepped forward. Sensing this, the Purgatory Dragon changed its target to Horn and unleashed its breath once again. An enormous flame. A blinding flash of light, intense enough to burn one’s eyes. Even so… “Oooooooooh!!!” Horn didn’t stop. He avoided a direct hit. But it grazed him—just slightly. The armor Horn wore began to char rapidly, and parts of it even started to melt. Exposed to such force, he must have been in tremendous pain. Yet still, he didn’t stop moving, diving into the dragon’s reach. “Muungh!!!” Horn grabbed the greatsword on his back and swung it in one motion. It was a massive sword, as tall as he was. Its power was extraordinary. He couldn’t cut through the dragon’s tough scales, but he succeeded in smashing them. “Take this… Eat thiiiiiis!!!” Horn brought the greatsword down again. He didn’t use it like a sword—he wielded...

  Chapter 235 Awakening {TL: By Creed} } Horn-san took a palm-sized gemstone from his pocket. He gripped it tightly... Then crushed it. Clang! — A high-pitched sound echoed through the air. "..." I instinctively braced myself, but nothing happened. A dud? While I looked on in confusion, something began to happen... "...Ah." The ice encasing the Purgatory Dragon had started to melt. As if time itself had sped up, the ice melted at an unnatural speed. Before long, a crack formed with a sharp crack! sound. It quickly spread throughout, turning the surface into something like glass on the verge of shattering. "Both of you—it's coming." Horn-san readied his sword. Following his lead, Sofia and I also drew our swords. And then... CRASH!!! With an ear-splitting noise, the ice shattered all at once. "OOOOOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Like the cry of a newborn, the Purgatory Dragon let out a deafening roar. The air trembled violently, a...

  Chapter 234 It's you after all! {TL: By Creed} The dragon was sleeping within the ice, as if cradling itself. That ice extended from the ground all the way up to the ceiling—massive in size. This must be the seal. However, just as Horn had said, the seal was starting to break. When I lightly touched it, I could feel it beginning to melt. I couldn’t say exactly how long it would take… But eventually, the ice would melt, and the Purgatory Dragon would be released. "This is... i-incredible." It was about twice as large as I had imagined. Truly overwhelming in presence. Can we really defeat something like this? I couldn’t help but feel anxious… But when I looked to my right, Sofia was there. And on the other side was Horn. Yeah. It’ll be alright. I’m not alone. I have a dependable lover and a senior by my side. If that’s the case, then I’m sure we can do anything. "Fate, are you okay?" "Yeah, I’m fine." "Good to hear." Her ...

  Chapter 233: Snow Prison {TL: By Creed} I explained the situation to Dad and the others... Got everything ready... And then, Sofia and I left the house. "Yeah, we’re all set." I wore warm clothes that wouldn’t get in the way of movement, and underneath, light armor. Even though it was light armor, it was made by my father — the one known as the God of Smithing. It was very sturdy, and resistant to magic as well. At my waist was a sword Sofia had lent me. It didn’t bear a name, but apparently, it was forged by a certain master craftsman. Not only was it sharp, but it also had excellent durability. It was the perfect sword for me. After that, we met up with Mr. Horn at the city gate. "I've been waiting." Mr. Horn was heavily equipped. He wore so much armor that it puffed out his winter clothes... And on his back, he carried a large bag of supplies. "That’s some impressive gear..." "Will you be alright?" "Yes, no problem...
