Chapter 283: Frost in Summer’s Sun.

Chapter 283: Frost in Summer’s Sun.

The sound of metal clashing against ice. Through my semi-transparent glacier [Frozen Shield], I could see the five intruders throwing out multiple knives at us. All of them had some liquid on their tips, seeing as they froze slightly after touching my defenses. I presumed it was some kind of poison.

Just Blink!

Meanwhile, Miss Saori shouted, drawing the attention of our aggressors slightly, only to suddenly teleport towards one of them the moment I blinked. In that single second, [Just Blink] allowed Miss Saori to escape everybodys senses no matter how skilled they were. And in this very moment, she attacked.

Using two of her daggers, she stabbed the legs of one of them. However, instead of turning her attention to the others, as I presumed, she sent an electrically-charged punch right at the mans chest.

Kurraaghh! The bovline, a minotaur beastman as Lady Hestia described, immediately began to retch from the force of the strike.

In the next second, Miss Saori grabbed onto the mans shoulder and rolled over his back, all while creating mana threads from her fingers to tangle around him. Just like that, one of our enemies was out of the battle.

[Uno! Song! To our right! The rest of you, stay in reserve!] That last order was not for us, but the remaining members of her shadow pack. Hanazawa! Heal Treyenor before he bleeds out!

Huh?! Y-Yeah, got it! Asaka ran to Gaels and the human scums side before releasing her fenrir spirits as she sat kneeled down next to me. Hey, stop screaming, I got you. Moderate Heal!

Enchant! Ruuragh! Unsheathing his sword, Elricks blade began shining a bright light before charging in.

Grrrragk! The garms didnt leave the attacking to them either.

Back! One of the intruders suddenly commanded, prompting the remaining four to dodge back, creating space. They then took out a mining mask, something dwarves used to combat the gases and dust inside a mountain whenever they went mining, and donned them. The moment they were finished, they took out hand-sized balls and threw them onto the ground.

Urgh! I groaned as a bright light exploded before us, blinding me and most of the others. Once I opened my eyes again, I noticed a thick fog of smoke spreading in the room.

Urgakak! I heard a mans voice cough up.

Followed up by Miss Saori shouting Poison! Elrick was poison Gak!! before she and her garms made gaggling sounds. She had to rely on [Telepathy] to communicate with me.

[Stink bomb! Mhmmmmmieeek, my nose! Tasianna, get rid of it! Blow it away already!]

Miss Saori and I couldnt be poisoned since we had [Absolute Status Nullification]. Neither could the garms, since they were technically semi-living, semi-undead bodies inhabited by onnikais. Any damage caused by the poison could be repaired with the black mana slime they produced.

However, Miss Saori and the garms have extremely sensitive noses, which became even more of a problem since Miss Saoris olfactory senses were heightened by her [True Wolven Instinct] skill. I had to act fast.

Wind Bla I was about to cast, but my [Detection Sensor] suddenly picked up more people right outside of the building, followed by my [Danger Perception] warning me an attack was incoming from below and in front of me. Change of plans! Aqua Prison! Glacial Protection!

Water exploded from underneath me, capturing everybody on my side, including the human scum, in a giant ball of water. Immediately, I cast [Glacial Protection] on myself, reducing my body temperature even further. I then spread this cold with [Frost Body] from my fingertips, freezing the water around us until we were all encased in an orb of frozen ice.

In the next second, I sensed the mana inside the man Saori had captured was running amuck somehow before it triggered an explosion right next to my defenses. It rattled the building, destroying the floor beneath us and sending us falling down. This was followed up by even more explosions, demolishing a huge portion of the building and causing everything to literally tip over.

Please, by Goddess Plesia and Goddess Zephira, hold on! I prayed to the gods as I saw us crashing onto the ground with the building.

Thank goodness!

There were some cracks on the barrier, but none were endangering us. Using [Cryokinesis], I unfroze the portion of water around me, enabling me to move and look around.

[Everybody alright?] I called out to everybody, confirming they were conscious after they responded back. Elrick, Gael, and the criminal didnt have [Telepathy], but I presumed they should be safe since I was fully confident my actions were executed well.

With my companions safety assured, I contemplated the rubble above us obscuring our sight, only to hear three different telepathic messages.

[Alpha!]

[Uno! Song!]

[Pack Leader!]

Those voices were from Sarasa, Quatre, and Varya respectively. Thankfully, they didnt sound too hurt. They probably escaped through a shadow and only reappeared after the building had collapsed. From the lack of excessive panic in Varyas voice, her cubs probably were safe and hiding in her shadow as well, I presumed.

I need to hurry. Marine Lungs.

[Marine Lungs] inflicted on [Fairy, Tasianna Marina Silverpond]

While I had made sure to not freeze any of my party members, it still didnt mean I could keep them in this frozen orb for too long. I unfroze the upper section of the ball and began swimming up with [Marine Lungs], a custom spell I learned from Priest Kushlekzar that allowed me to breathe underwater.

[All three of you, get out of the way! Im creating a path,] I warned our animal friends before beginning our escape.

I cast [Tornado Bullet] to pierce through the rubble above us, following it up with the custom spell, [Oceans Blast], to launch all the debris into the sky. In the meantime, I constructed a [Winters Golem] to prevent the mountain of stone from falling back on us.

I then let my mana flow into the cracked ice orb, slowly making it less cold and letting the environmental temperature melt it. As everybody was freed from that prison, coughing up water, I left them to recover and directed my head upwards.

Aifli eir Vintral!

Wings of ice formed on my back as I used them to cool down the area from the explosions flames, already prepared to fight as I could detect multiple targets en route towards us. Using [Air Steps] and [Wind Blast], I launched myself into the sky before shooting out a cannon-sized [Azure Blade] at the first enemy I saw.

Shiek! The water sword ran right through a female aegosa, a sheep beastman, pinning her on the ground before the sword turned back into fluid water.

Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Fairy, Tasianna Marina Silverpond]s Job [Alchemist] has risen from [Level 0] to [Level 2]

Attributes have increased due to level up

Huh? I was flabbergasted. Considering how high my magic stats were, the spell should have gone right through her, instead of getting stuck.

That armor Wait, is that a rangers bodysuit?!

But, this wasnt the time to think of any of that.I noticed several signals coming closer. There were 18 left, meaning there were 20 at the beginning with five acting as distractions. The five from before, now three, took off their masks and began drinking multiple potions with the encroaching group.

At the same time, all 18 of them threw flashbombs, blinding all of us. I prepared a [Glacial Protection] around me to protect myself, but not a single attack came at me. When I opened my eyes, Sarasa and Quatre informed me they were making their way to the captured lieutenants.

I didnt know how they managed to do it, but they miraculously managed to save all of the Layavete cartels people.

I clicked my tongue, realizing we werent their targets. The Layavete cartel was, and they tried to silence its leader. Now unable to kill him, they turned their attention to the other members of the syndicate.

Dragons have an organ sac to turn mana into ice naturally. I have to simulate it with [Frost Body]. Once again! I reminded myself of the training I went under Empress Melloxtressa, learning alongside the wyverns how to properly control the ice element. How to control temperatures.

And one of the tricks I learned was

Freesch Hiiwui. (Frost Whispers)

Feeling my lungs with air and mana, I lowered my bodys warmth down with [Frost Body] before breathing out a blow of wind with the sting of winters embrace. Combined with the moisture in the air, not only did I freeze the rubble around me but also the intruders as well.

This ability could become so much stronger if I had practiced it enough to have the Divine System acknowledge it as a custom Ability, but so be it. I will have to make do with what I have now.

I once again released the mana from my body, causing the ice I made from that breath to grow larger and pursue the remaining 16 foes. With frozen spikes growing from the ground behind my frost breath, it chased after the people with the garms and Varya following it.

Our attackers threw out stink bombs, attempting to immobilize our furry friends. Unfortunately for them, I reacted in time and blew it away. One by one until there were only nine left, the shadow pack or my ice spikes extinguished their lives.

Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Fairy, Tasianna Marina Silverpond]s Job [Alchemist] has risen from [Level 2] to [Level 6]

Attributes have increased due to level up

I could have probably ordered them not to kill those beastmen and show mercy; but we couldnt waste time if we wanted to save that human scums subordinates. I didnt know what Gael had planned, and I really couldnt care about these humans lives, but I knew I had to look at the bigger picture. My travels have taught me as much.

We only need one captive any What?!

The three onnikais from before and a few spirits came rushing up to me, warning me there was a large amount of mana concentrating in a single area to my left. Turning around, I noticed the body of the aegosa I killed from before. Her mana was running amiss, similar to that person from before.

Falakash! Sapphire Membrane!

A note from AbyssRaven

Scribble Hub

If that caught your attention then let me just quickly say that I've recently expanded "A Dragon Idol's Reincarnation Tale" to Scribble Hub. I would be pretty happy if you guys would take some of your time and support me over there if you guys could.

Now, to incentivize you guys to go over there, the chapters on Scribble hub from 0 - 14 will be posted using the edits I've done using the criticism I've received from your guys over the two years I've been writing here on RR. That means, it will most likely be a new experience for you guys. I would recommend reading them.

Now, since I decided on adding those edited chapters, I've also done them on RR. Chapter 0 to 5 have been released on Scribble Hub and those are the ones I've altered for RR for now. I will sync the two versions with each other. But, if you read the new old chapters here on RR, I don't think your view will count. That's why, I would like you guys to try out Scribble Hub and help me grow over there

Please, and thank you for reading this!

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.
