[Music Resonation (Major)] [Various Spell Buffs] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Sanctified Blaze: Halo of Consecration! Purple Flash! Purple Flash! Symphonie des Feuergottes!

[Prayer! Dreadflare Breath!]

Three individual spells appeared simultaneously as I breathed white dragon fire at the hybrid centaur-like, scorpion-thing geisenlarg king. I kept my two custom spells to myself while I made sure to announce [Prayer] to everybody in attendance. As absolutely vital it was for me to appear in this fight as a dragon, I knew very well that if I didn't do something to gain their trust, the adventurers and soldiers would just see me as an enemy.

A halo of white flames appeared above my head. With the white flames surrounding my wings from my rocket boosters, I did hope I looked like an angel dragon to everybody. In addition, two huge magic circles appeared in the sky as I began pushing the bug away from Griffonpeak.

[Muraina, I need your help!] I called out as the two spells activated, pouring searing flames on the bug and me while a veil of iridescent light basked everybody in a shower of holy power.

[Symphonie des Feuergottes (Allegro)] [Blessing of the Goddess of Light (Major)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]>

Muraina, understanding what I meant, began shouting and giving orders while I continued my fight against the bug king.

Do you hear that, my forest kin, adventurers of the guilds, and soldiers of Griffonpeak! This dragon is Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor, scion of the great Dragon Empire of Kargryx! The descendant of the Dragon God himself! Look at this blessing of the Goddess and her music of hope! Muraina announced in a ferocious tone. This one is a champion of the Goddess! Anyone who is foolish enough to attack her will not go without a punishment! Hunters and mercenaries, if you dare hurt her, I will make sure you will be demoted! Twice!

Hold on, I didnt tell you to tell them

For her Highness, Meoshaera Hestia! Saelari, inbaek hasti ka!

Saelari, bask them in our anger and might, or something like that. My Andurenian was literally just beginner level where I had memorized a few quotes that Tasianna threw at me. However, hearing actual elves sprout that while I was fighting did boost my morale. For a war cry, it sounded exotic and filled with controlled fury.

[Muraina, I didnt tell you to tell them about my champion title!] I complained.

[Then you should have specified it, Hestia. Just because I can use telepathy doesnt mean that I am a mind reader.]

[I mean, sure, but couldnt you have Woah! Speak to you later!]

This wasnt the time to talk. An inferno ocean was being created around me, pretty much blocking my sight and such while I tried to cook the bug alive. [Foresight] activated in this situation, forcing me to stop my breath attack and make a quick dodge to the side, avoiding a black beam as it divided the flames from my [Symphonie des Feuergottes] in half.

Skrrrrrrooooouuuuch! The geisenlarg roared as it revealed itself, having used its armored arms like a tower shield, blocking my spell from above. Its tail with the needle stinger was shooting out that black ray, demolishing the wall and scorching the earth.

Hold on, is that? Play it, parallel minds!

Staring out the window while it rains

No one here to talk, silence is all I have

So I delved into my thoughts and wondered, What if?

As the flame sea dissipated back into mana, I began playing [My Darkest Thought], thinking this blast of dark energy felt similar for some reason. And to my elation, my guess was correct.

The song weakened the monsters laser attack to the point it only damaged the surface of whatever it hit. Meanwhile, its skull antennae and black veil cape squirmed independently from its body, as if they had their own consciousness. Its reaction made me confident this creature had some demonic energy within it. This song only worked on demonic things.

I need to alternate between my four songs. Use them like spells to pin this thing down. Mana Eyes!

Sepulchral Shell Geisenlarg King

A geisenlarg king born within . Rank A

Rank A, huh? Urgh.

Honestly, I had hoped [Mana Eyes] would have worked here since I needed to know what this monster could do. Now that I thought about it, I couldnt appraise Eithalr at all either due to those damn appraiser blocker armlets. One of my strongest tools appraisal was rendered completely useless today.

However, just with this alone, I was satisfied. This bug was Rank A, probably had some relation with that black potion the demonkin drank, and the amount of destruction it had done even with Muraina fighting it was severe. Looking around the outskirts of Griffonpeak, I could see that nearly all the farm villages close to the wall were destroyed.

At the minimum, this thing was at the same destructive power as the rachonoid queen. But, its obvious enough this raid will be even harder.

[Muraina, Ill rely on you! Lets win this!]

[I have your back, Meoshaera!] Muraina declared. Our reinforcement has arrived, everybody! Lets all survive and slay this damn thing endangering our homes! Soldiers and adventurers, through holy fire and the light of the Goddess Aurena, we shall win today! The huntress, Themestra, bless our blades, arrows, and spells for we will HUNT!!!

YEAAAAAAAH!!!

The many participants quickly resumed their battle stations, manning the cannons and ballistae. Normal weaponry wouldnt work against this things hard shell, though, so I couldnt help but be a bit curious what they defenders were planning. Mages began shooting out their spells, while others filled up hollow cannon balls with mana, a type of object I hadnt seen yet.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

Mana Eyes.

Arcane Eoriant Ball

A cannonball made from eoriant alloy, intended to absorb mana and explode upon impact. The more mana poured into them, the higher the damage potential will become. Overloading the ball will lead to a large explosion

Eoriant, while common as an alloy since iron and eurinium were common enough, wasnt the easiest thing to make. There were more normal iron cannonballs than eoriant ones, which means every shot counted. Multiple mages were pouring their mana into a single ball, just to get more bang for their buck.

I dont think using normal spells and methods would work on this thing. It was obviously weak against [My Darkest Thoughts], so it should be weak against [Shine] and my holy flame grenades. Sadly, I cant exactly make a cannonball size grenade at this moment for them to use.

Skrrrrruooouch! the geisenlarg roared as it swiped it's shield-like pincers at me, trying to swat me like a fly. But the real issue came when it tried using its needle stinger to turn me into a kebab, striking at me like a trained spearman.

I dodged with my rocket boosters. If it's trying to treat me like a fly, Ill evade it just like a fly.

I couldnt use my [Solar Beam] with my core cracked. It being able to still absorb and transform solar energy into mana or nutrients was enough for me, honestly. I just had to make do with my spell songs and [Symphonie des Feuergottes] to buff myself. First things first, I needed to cripple this thing.

Panzer. Unheilige Engel.

Brute force wasnt the way here. Just like with Eithalr, I had to rely on my venom.

The size and agility difference was my advantage. I slipped through its stingers and pincers, using my purple dragon breath to spray toxins into the geisenlarg while using my tail slashes and scale-dust to attempt to puncture its hard shell. I even brought out my glaive, using its levitation function to shoot scale-dust at it.

But, like a living fortress, it withstood my attacks with only a few dents and scratches. My toxins were taking a while to kick in; hopefully, it wasnt fully resistant against them. I was pretty sure [Dread Burn] should have applied on it by now, but I wasnt sure if it had a natural regeneration or the same recovery as that demonkin replacing broken parts with new ones.

Turn on [The Will to Fight and Survive].

Aside from the extremely useful [Exhaustion] prevention and increased Stamina regeneration, [The Will to Fight and Survive] also increased damage from fire and holy attacks while decreasing my enemies Wisdom stat by 5% their magical resistance. Every bit counted.

With [Symphonie des Feuergottes]s Allegro phase, I was just speeding around with the increased Agility. I could continue this as often as I wanted, slowly killing it with my toxin.

Taunt! However, this rhythm was broken by an unsuspected person.

Skrrruruuch! The monster sent a tail swipe at me, which I dodged, before it turned around and head to the ravaged remains of a forest before the walls.

Looking over, I saw a single armored adventurer raising its shield, shouting the [Taunt] skill to draw the monsters attention. As it began to run, walls of earth were created underneath its feet, shooting him up in the air before a few wind mages used [Wind Blast] to blast him away from the bug, creating distance between them.

However, the geisenlarg was quite mobile for its size, easily trampling forward to catch up to its taunter. The mages escaped before they got stomped on, meanwhile the armored adventurer was now running for his life.

Shit! Is he crazy?!

[Halo of Consecration] was currently applying an AOE field around me, healing everybody with white flames. Any small injury would be healed, but if anyone sustained a fatal blow, they were dead. I did not have the ability to revive people, unfortunately

As I raced towards the bug to grab its attention with dragon breath, my [Foresight] warned me to dodge followed by a telepathic message by Muraina. [Move!] she ordered me, and I did so without questioning it nor looking at the source of [Foresight]s warning.

In the next two seconds, a giant wind arrow struck the geisenlarg king, pushing him to the side and unbalancing him. This left an opening for multiple normal-sized wooden arrows to fly, striking at the bugs tail and digging into the slits between the carapace. They stayed there for a moment before wiggling out from them, returning to Muraina while I took this chance to morph [Unheilige Engel] into slime and let it seep through that crevice.

Next taunter! Go! Muraina shouted.

Taunt!

Skrruuuuoch!

Without a single delay, a [Taunt] cry echoed in the area again followed by a volley of cannon shots. The bug shields himself just in time against the cannonballs but its attention was forced away by the first taunter to a new target.

Hestia, aim for the tail! We need to get rid of its ability to shoot that beam! Muraina commanded. Use these moments to deal some massive damage with me!

I had underestimated Muraina and Griffonpeaks forces. They were like a well-oiled machine, listening to Muraina without a question. They werent making too much progress even with Murainas firepower around, but the monster probably would have begun destroying the city if it werent for Griffonpeaks defenders stalling it.

Saelari, suska! As the geisenlarg followed the taunter, who was riding on a equerochs with a soldier, the elves began to rain arrows onto its multiple eyes. Then, a large black magic circle was cast on the wall, materializing a [Umbral Pendulum] from it to knock the geisenlarg back, delaying it even more.

Lady Hestia, here! Drink! I turned to the source of that voice, identifying it coming from Krymdar. He emptied a potion filled with red liquid and used his staff to gather it up into a ball, before shooting it at me.

I opened my mouth, swallowing the ball whole.

[Raging Blaze Potion] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Raging Blaze Potion

A potion made from fire elements-aligned ingredients. Significantly increases fire resistance and attack potency. Decreases the mana cost of fire elemental attacks

Oooh, nice! Alchemist support!

I wasnt the only buffer in this raiding party. People werent spamming buffs like I was with my songs, but there were ways for normal people to gain buffs, and that was through potions. Krymdar was not only a dark mage but also an alchemist. After he threw this potion at me, he dashed towards a casket of potions and took a couple of them to hand over to a few elves.

While I was marveling at all this teamwork, the geisenlarg was preparing to shoot out its dark laser again, intending to snipe the second taunter. Before I could disrupt him, another giant wind arrow soar through the air and knocked him back, ruining its aim. I took this chance to play [My Darkest Thoughts] again and hellblade slash its tail to shut down the beam completely.

As if we were in sync, Murainas treant which had grown in size to that of a building and was carrying its master in the air threw shards of its bark at the geisenlarg as I attacked, crashing against is pincer to create an opening for Muraina to snipe one of its eyes.

Up in the sky, Muraina took out an arrow molded from her treants wood as three green magic circles appeared around her. She nocked it on her bow and pulled the string, holding it as long as she needed before releasing an arrow so fast I couldnt follow it with my eyes. It made me feel like a normal person watching a bullet fly.

Also surprisingly, when the arrow hit, it was almost the length and size of a common car. That arrow had grown.

Skkrrreeeech! The monster finally roared out in pain, grabbing the arrow with its pincer to pull it out. As green blood sprayed from its body, black tendrils grew out from the hole, trying to morph into something.

Oh no, you dont!

I flew up to it and breathed white fire on the tendrils, causing it to screech once again before almost hitting me with its tail. Thankfully, the damage was done and it couldnt replace its eye. It cried out a third time, rearing up on its hind legs like a furious horse.

It then began slamming its shield-like pincer against the wall, creating a destructive echoing shockwave, stunning multiple people all while the wall began to crumble from the sound waves alone.

I rocket boosted myself forward, flying as fast as I could to reach it in time before it barreled through the last piece of defense of the city. However, even as I gave it my all, I wasnt fast enough.

Scheie!

AWROOOOOOOOOH!

Skry? Krrrrruuuuuch!

As the worst outcome was about to happen, a massive bolt of black lightning shot right out from the gate of the walls, disrupting its charge and pushing it back.

Slithering Frost Serpent!

Moments later, a giant serpent of ice burst through a cyan magic circle appearing from the sky, falling onto the geisenlarg before constricting its legs. Raindrops turned into ice before forming into large swords around the serpent, striking down at the giant bug in an attempt to freeze it in place.

Fire!

The roar of a cannon exploded from the wall, shooting forward a ball of white flames, bursting upon contact. Thanks to the serpent and the thunder ray cannon, this blast of white flames was enough to finally knock the monster down on the floor.

AWROOOOOOOOOH!

As the ray dissipated, a loud wolf howl echoed through the battlefield, followed by the crackling of thunder like an approaching thunderstorm, only that there werent enough black clouds in the sky.

Took them long enough!

[Party leader, Hestia Atusko Kargryxmor! Vice-Leader, Saori Segawa, announces her entry on the battlefield with the rest of C rank adventurer party, Aurora!]

[Maid of Lady Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor and ice mage of Aurora, ready to freeze hell to protect my mistress!]

[Daughter of Arcanuess Helvas, Ellaine Fiero Helvas, and Master Smith, Grimnir Luedbrumdar, reporting to Aurora! We are combat-ready and have somehow made a warhammer mana cannon with the spare parts of OWWWW, Master Grimnir! Alright, whatever, were ready to fight and have brought the flying cavalry with us!]

Brave adventurers and dutiful soldiers of Griffonpeak! Hear me and allow me to express my gratitude!

Up in the sky, an army was approaching. Riding on armored griffons and hippogryphs, knights raised their weapons to the sky and yelled with that at the beginning of the speech. Mages channeling their spells followed behind them on gargoyles, chanting and readying themselves to unleash their firepower.

They covered the sky, blackening the ground with their shadows. This whole flock was led by two people. The first was a man in armor with the sigil of House Greenveil on his tabard, carrying a pristine wooden bow in his hand. And the second was

I am Drangleic var Artorias! King of Artorias and the Knight-Commander of the Knights of Lionheart! Brave heroes, may the Goddess bless your soul for your service on this day! Your bravery shall be rewarded for aiding Griffonpeak in her time of need, you have my word!

He then raised his sword and, summoning a tornado around him in the same style his ancestor, the Griffon King, controlled the wind.

Princess Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor of the Dragon Empire Kargryx! I have heard and witnessed your words of serenity! Your songs will echo and break through the tragedy of today, and it will give us the light of hope we dearly needed! The knights of Artorias have come to fulfill our oath to protect our land! Be our beacon, Idol of the Goddess of Light, AURENA! FOR ARTORIAS! FOR THE LIGHT!

Lets do this!

In the midst of the desert

A bright ray of light shines

Pure and brave, that she was, as she walked

The entire day was entering its final stage.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
