For the next period of time, Zig and Lucy lived a fairly stable life.

Mainly Lucy, of course.

She got up in the morning and practiced additional magic under Sieg’s supervision. Although she couldn’t use it completely yet, Sieg and Irene both said that she should first develop the feel for using additional magic. If she waited until her total magic power increased before starting to practice, it would be too late.

After lunch, she followed Selene to learn Moon Dragon Slayer Magic in the afternoon. Yes, even though she didn’t know how to perform additional magic yet, she had Irene and Sieg who had already learned how to perform additional magic. In addition, Irene had already trained a large number of dragon slayers, so Lucy asked Irene to add Selene’s power to her. As Sieg said, she became a dragon slayer.

However, what is surprising is that…

“Moon’s Dragon Slayer Magic… I didn’t expect it to have such a property.”

At the Dragnov training ground, Sieg sighed as he watched Selene practicing dragon slayer magic with Lucy.

The magic of each dragon slayer corresponds to the power of the dragon attached to them. For example, the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic used by Natsu corresponds to the Fire Dragon, and the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic used by Gajeel corresponds to the Iron Dragon. These are all easy to associate.

But Sieg had no idea what the properties of Selene’s magic, the Moon Dragon’s magic, were.

After all, Selene was almost killed instantly by him.

After actually watching Lucy use it, Sieg realized the true nature of Selene’s magic – her magic was the magic of controlling moonlight.

To be more precise, due to the unique environment of this planet, everything carries magic, even the moonlight. Selene can not only utilize the special magic contained in the moonlight, but also transform her own magic into magic of the same nature as the moonlight magic, and exert her full power even when there is no moonlight.

This is quite impressive. You know, even Sieg cannot change the nature of his magic. Even though he can use magic from different systems, that is ultimately because the form of his magic is rather special, not because the magic itself has changed.

Therefore, Selene’s move was enough to make Sieg look at her differently, even if the nature of this magic power changed only in one way.

“Study hard, Lucy.”

“Hmm~~~ I’m learning! —【Roar of the Moonlight Dragon】!”

Buzz——————————!

The bright moonlight turned into a torrent and gushed out of Lucy’s mouth, like a streak of light shooting towards Selene not far away.

Selene simply waved her hand to dispel Lucy’s [Roar]. “No, no, it’s still too weak. That’s not called a [Roar], Lucy. It’s just a [Growl]. You need to open your throat wider and be more passionate.”

“Hmm… that’s too abstract~~~”

Lucy sighed.

She had seen the battles between Natsu and Gajeel many times, and also seen Wendy’s battle. The three Dragon Slayers had used the Roar quite a few times, and just now Lucy had imitated the way those three used the Roar.

“To put it bluntly, you just have to yell it out loud, right?”

Sieg gave his own advice: “I can roar myself. From what I feel, it’s just to accumulate magic power in my mouth, and then spit it out forcefully as if I’m going to spit it out – probably the feeling of spitting? But my roar is a bit different, so I can’t give you a complete reference.”

“Spitting and yelling?”

Lucy thought about it.

(Think about it, Natsu and Gajeel are both loudmouths, and Wendy is still young, but she is also very brave when fighting… Should I be more bold too?)

But when Lucy thought of Natsu and Gajeel’s wild fighting style, she felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that she really couldn’t learn it.

Selene smiled slightly. “Perhaps you should change your mindset, Lucy. I can see that you are imitating the fighting style of the Dragon Slayer you know, but you are the Dragon Slayer now. There is no need to imitate others. Just slowly find the fighting style that suits you best.”

“Well…I know, then trouble you again, Miss Selene!”

“anytime.”

Seeing Lucy preparing to roar again, Selene raised her hands to defend herself.

But at this moment——

“Woooooooooooooooooo!!!”

A dull and long horn sound suddenly came from the distant city wall!

Sieg immediately stood up and flew into the air.

(Dragon Slayer System?)

[Searching for the enemy – Confirmed that a dragon is approaching 200 kilometers from the current location]

A dragon is approaching Dolagnov.

It’s not a [group of dragons], but a [dragon].

Doesn’t that mean…

“Zig!”

Irene’s voice sounded not far away.

Sieg looked to the side and saw Irene being held in Belserion’s hand, flying towards him. “You must have heard the horn just now, right? The dragons from the Western Continent are attacking again. Please seek refuge with the residents. We are going to–“

“To seek refuge? Let me?”

Sieg frowned, “I thought they were here for me to fight back.”

“No, you are our honored guest. We have been saved by you once before. We cannot let you—”

“Woooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

The horn sounded again, interrupting Irene’s words.

And then——

“Donglong——————————————!!!”

A terrifying shock that is difficult to describe in words suddenly came from the end of the horizon!

A strong earthquake struck the entire Dragnov in an instant!

The impact coming from the ground, together with the dust storm, hit the city wall with extreme violence!

“Buzz————————————!!!”

The city wall that had just been repaired and reinforced suddenly began to shake violently!

Even though Sieg’s space magic on the city wall was constantly alleviating the impact, the entire Dragnov still shook violently in the impact!

(This impact… The Dragon Slayer System said that the dragon is still 200 kilometers away from us, right?)

Sieg raised his altitude further and looked towards the horizon.

Soon, amid waves of vibrations, Sieg saw the dragon moving towards Dragnov, but the moment he saw it, the expression on Sieg’s face froze!

“So, so big!”

Even Sieg, who had seen many dragons, couldn’t help but exclaim at this moment.

Because the dragon that came into his sight was so huge!

[The object’s body shape data has been calculated]

[The total length from beginning to end is 98 kilometers, and the height is about 11 kilometers]

“……How many!?”

Ziggy couldn’t help but yell out.

98 kilometers in length? 12 kilometers in height?

What the hell is this giant monster!? In comparison, the entire Dragnov is not even as big as the dragon’s finger! It’s like just a small stone on the side of the road!

There are actually monsters of this size among the dragon clan? !

“Ah~~~~ I didn’t expect that he would cross the sea and come here too.”

Selene’s voice rang in Sieg’s ears.

Zig looked at her who had come to his side and said, “Do you know him?”

“No, I’ve only heard of it. This is the first time I’ve actually seen it.” Selene looked at the huge creature in front of her, “It may be the largest dragon of all dragons. Even my largest body cannot even be one ten-thousandth of it.”

“——【Wood Dragon】·Aldoron.”

“That’s what we call it.”

23. Dragon Knight

This was not the first time that Dolagnov had experienced a dragon disaster. After all, the war had begun several years ago, and the residents living in this city had long been accustomed to the attacks of dragons.

But even so, the current situation has caused residents of the entire city to fall into unprecedented panic.

After all, the Wood Dragon was too huge! The shadow cast by its head alone was enough to cover the entire Dragnov! Not to mention its endless body!

“call——–!”

Belserion immediately flapped his wings and flew up, quickly arriving in front of Aldoron.

“Aldolon! Aldolon! Wood Dragon! Stop!”

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM——————!!!”

Hearing Belserion’s words, Aldoron, who was walking slowly, stopped in his tracks amid a rumbling sound. He squinted his eyes and looked at Belserion, who was no different from a small insect to him: “This voice… is Belserion, the wise dragon. Are you still alive? I thought you were already dead.”

“I have been alive all this time, and it seems that you are still the same, not caring about the affairs of your compatriots.”

“Maybe. After all, I never thought you could survive.”

The Wood Dragon raised its huge head high, looking down at the tiny Belserion: “Do you really think that you and the dragons following you can resist our progress? Sooner or later, this continent will become a continent ruled by us dragons, just like the Western Continent.”

“And I will enslave all humans after that, and turn all the humans on this continent into my nutrients—just like I devoured all the humans on half of the Western Continent.”

The Wood Dragon did not suppress his voice.

The heavy but resonant dragon’s voice echoed in the sky of Dragnov.

Listening to Aldolon’s arrogant words, Belserion said in a deep voice: “Do you think I will let you succeed? I have already made up my mind. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will protect all the humans in Doraganov! I will never let you destroy this place!”

“How ridiculous! Just because you are as insignificant as a bug?”

Aldoron looked down upon Belserion, and a huge amount of magic power rose from its body, causing the entire earth to vibrate even more violently than before!

The magic of the Wood Dragon Aldoron is pure [Wood], which is the magic of purely controlling natural plants. However, now it doesn’t even use magic, but just releases the magic power purely. But even so, the combination of its huge body and the huge magic power can still cause the earth to tremble!

“Aldolon!”

Belserion suddenly roared!

“Just watch quietly as everything you want to protect becomes my nourishment. As a fellow countryman, I will not devour you, Belserion.”

Aldolon’s eyes were full of contempt.

Even though they are both dragons, one can tell from their physique that there is a huge power gap between them.

Even with Aldolon’s physique, it only needs to move forward normally to crush the entire Dragnov, and Belserion is simply powerless to stop it!

(hateful!)

Without continuing to tangle with Aldolon, Belserion immediately turned around and flew downwards!

Since it was impossible to stop Aldoron’s atrocities, we should at least rescue as many residents as possible before its attack completely defeated Dragnov! Fortunately, the city itself had been reinforced by Sieg’s space magic, and a simple earthquake could not completely destroy it in a short period of time!

“Belserion——”

Irene, who was held in its hands, subconsciously wanted to say something.

But before she could say what she wanted to say——

“Buzz————————————!!!”

An extremely strong but not violent vibration was released from the center of Doragnov – the top of the palace, like a wave, and spread to the entire Doragnov in an instant!

Afterwards, under the gazes of everyone, a layer of translucent wall of light slowly rose into the sky with the city wall as the boundary, and finally closed at the top of the palace, so that the entire city of Dragnov was enclosed in the pyramid-shaped light barrier!

The earthquake caused by the Wood Dragon collided with the barrier in the next second.

“Boom——————————————————!!!”

Countless ripples spread across the surface of the barrier! The impact of the earthquake caused the barrier itself to shake violently, but as the ripples continued to spread and fade, the impact of the earthquake seemed to be gradually diluted, and was finally completely blocked outside the barrier!

(I resisted the first round of attacks. Could this magic be——)

Irene thought of a possibility, and Belserion immediately took her to the top of the palace.

Sieg, who was flying in the air before, now has his whole body filled with blue magic power like the vast ocean. A magic keyboard that controls space magic is floating in front of him, and his expression is extremely solemn.

“Sir Sieg, this barrier is indeed yours—”
