The Gemstone Looked Strong

“GAAAAAAAAAAAGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! GGGHHAAAGGHH!!!”

-This time, the Fire Dragon’s roar of pain was much louder than it was at the first river.

The immense amount of water that swallowed up all of the trees by the river was now swallowing up the Fire Dragon.

The rush of water caused by the destruction of the dam was too much for even the Fire Dragon’s heat to evaporate.

And so the water started to rush past it and go downstream.

‘Proud Wolf! Can you get any closer!?’

‘I can!’

I made the Proud Wolf and slimes go closer so I could prepare the follow-up attack.

“GG-GGAAAAAARGH!!”

The Fire Dragon roared. But it sounded much weaker than before.

Still, it wasn’t dead.

The current of water was also starting to slow down.

If this continued, it would return to normal in a minute or two.

As I thought about this—the Proud Wolf got closer to the Fire Dragon.

‘Is this close enough?’

‘It’s dangerous when you’re close!’

‘We can’t go any closer!’

Apparently, that was as close as they could get.

Well, I had to try it then.

‘I’m going to use some new magic! Be careful that you aren’t hit by it!’

‘Okay!’

‘Understood!’

As I talked to the slimes, I protected them and the Proud Wolf with a barrier—then I chanted the new spell.

I knew the name from before, but this was the first time I was using it.

‘…Curse of Eternal Tundra!’

Just as I chanted this, I felt the sensation of massive amounts of energy leaving my body.

It was much more than even ‘Hellfire of Death’ and ‘Suppression Isolation Barrier.’

I felt such a tremendous loss of strength that I fell right to my knees.

At the same time, I became worried that it wouldn’t activate due to insufficient MP—but it turned out to not be the case.

‘It froze!’

‘Wow! They all froze!’

‘So-something is falling! This isn’t rain!’

The rain had frozen in the air and was falling as pieces of ice.

As for the river, it had frozen, along with the monsters and plants in the area. The forest had become completely quiet.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHHH!!! …GAA-?”

And in the middle of it all, the Fire Dragon let out its final cry—and then froze.

After a few seconds, the Fire Dragon turned into a block of ice.

In spite of its incredible heat, it had not been able to defeat ‘Curse of Eternal Tundra.’

Still, it had survived long enough to let out a death cry.

Most monsters would have died before they knew what had hit them.

‘It-it’s dead…?’

‘It looks like it.’

I said as I checked the Fire Dragon’s HP.

As I thought, it was at 0.

The hunt was complete.

‘We…we really defeated an A-Rank monster!?’

‘Yay! We won!’

‘We killed it!’

The slimes and Proud Wolf shouted happily when they realized this.

‘Yes. Good work! …Let’s go back and eat something delicious and then rest!’

‘Yay!’

And so we started to travel back to town.

-There weren’t any people in the town currently, but it shouldn’t take the guild too long to see that there wasn’t any steam rising from the Fire Dragon anymore.

So it was just a matter of time before they lifted the evacuation order.

As for the Fire Dragon, it had a gemstone that was similar to the lesser fire dragons.

But this one was several times larger and was gold in color—if it could be used to make monster armor, I bet it would result in something amazing.
