??? What are those Secondary Jobs!? [Soba Master] and [Journeyman Gemsmith]?!

Putting aside those weird Jobs, the rest of their Profiles were, unfortunately, blocked from me. They probably had those [Identity Blocker] items, just like many of my recent enemies. For goodness sake, could I please get the chance to appraise someone completely?! Was that so unreasonable to ask for? I wanted information to gain advantage with to make fights easier!

Then again, knowing their levels did make me more cautious. Aside from the Edgesworns boss and the Luedbrumdar helper, the other dwarves were around the lower rank Bs or higher rank Csso in the level range of 50 and 75. This did make them pretty strong, but there were only five of these armored men.

And now, just like in an RPG, these seven dwarves had to fight a level 26 rank B [Young Sunfang Dragon], equivalent to level 106 for humanoids. Of course, if I were a dragonewt, the 103 dwarf would be pretty comparable but I was going to fight in my dragon form. And I had fought people far stronger than him already.

This wasnt going to be an easy battle since I couldnt appraise their Profiles fully. Even their armor and weapons were slightly obstructed, making it hard for me to predict anything. Well equipped and also state of the art tech. How annoying.

Shield wall! the dwarves shouted, activating their [Defensive Rune: Auracoil] in response to the heat wave I was exuding. Their barriers and the walls and floors of the building began to flicker blue.

Kraaaaaaaaaaaah! I roared out while I activated [Humanize], increasing my body temperature with [Dreadflare Aura] and containing everything with my [Draconic Aura]. As the blue veils protecting the building began to break down, my Territory was established.

Dammit! Move back! the Edgesworn boss cried out as the mana mist started to dissipate and my true form was revealed.

My increased mass pushed pieces of the building away, but since I was melting everything into light purple, glowing lavatechnically magma, I suppose, since were undergroundalready, everything felt more-or-less like liquid. I grabbed the remnants of the semi-solid wall and threw it at the dwarves, using [Volcanic Blaze] to turn them into obsidian spears.

With a resounding shatter, two of the dwarves barriers broke apart, letting the spears lodge themselves into their armor. However, the blows were too shallow, as the spears immediately fell off. However, as long as these dwarves were inside this Territory, I had enough resources to take them all on, no matter how strong they were. Fortunately for me, the magma had already enclosed this entire place.

Again! I grabbed some magma and threw it at them, turning them into obsidian spears mid-air. However, instead of letting one of the shield-bearers take the hit, the Luedbrumdar samurai stepped in front of them and slashed forward using his katana, slicing everything into two with impeccable reflexes.

Immediately afterward, the blue seams on his body turned green, before two runes on his boots began to glow. He unsheathed his blade and took out his bardiche, before closing the distance between us in a matter of a second. Taking me by surprise, he swung his polearm at my neck.

I arched it back, avoiding the hit, where I noticed he was reading another hit. Dodging any further would just put me at a disadvantage, so I sent my floating glaive to block his attack. With my catalyst inserted, I could control it through mana.

A clash of metal erupted as my glaive and his bardiche dueled, allowing me enough time to recover and have [Halo of Consecration] blast a white flame ring out. The samurai retreated, switching with the ronin, who bisected my flames in the process, before sending his five tanks to obstruct my movements.

With their armor glowing blue, they charged in with unprecedented speed, just like the earthquakers I witnessed before. They slammed their shields against me, trying to push me back while relying on their mana barrier to survive. Two of them, thoughthe ones I had broken the auracoil ofhad to endure the heat of my attack full-on. Looking at the red glowing rune on their chestplate, they probably had some heat resistances, considering dwarves mined a lot.

The [Magmakammer] had closed off the area with the entire buildings molten stone, and while it trapped them inside, it also meant I had barely any room to move. I couldnt use my [Hellblade Dragon] attacks effectively. I could only rely on spells and flame breaths or so these dwarves probably assumed.

[See ya!] I taunted them as I turned my [Unheilige Engel] into an obsidian drill, before jumping up and drilling my way through the molten ceiling. I quickly manipulated the magma, having it close up the hole before activating my stealth skills.

Sure, I might have told them I would fight them, but, honestly, we needed to get the hell out of here! The moment the city guards and soldiers arrived en masse, then our escape route would be closed out. We would be trapped. That was what those dwarves were planning, stalling until help arrived. Since I rescued the prisoners, all we needed to do was to [Danger Perception] activated!

Woah!

I snapped my body and the drill to the side, as a mana slash pierced right through the magma, opening a section of it open. I looked down, seeing the samurai standing there in a slashing motion. He then sheathed his blade, and like those overdramatized anime samurai, did an iaido slash with a blue glowing katana.

Controlling the magma, I used it to push myself out of its trajectory before closing things up. Well, my fleeing plans just went poof. If I didnt take care of them now, that samurai would chase us down. We wouldnt be able to flee into the subspace with him around. Kazumi wouldnt be able to outrun him and the hold would be too high of an alarm for me to escape. I didnt even know where the exit was!

Cant help it. Dreadflame Breath.

If I had to fight, then I had to increase [Magmakammer]s size first. Increase its volume to the point I could swim and appear anywhere like the training I did in my Obsidian Orchestra. As such, magma burst from my mouth, filling up everything as I swam and dodged the attacks of that samurai.

His attack speed was fast, but my Agility made it possible for me to continue. Even though he was an experienced fighter, so was I. It was as hard for me to predict him, as it was for him to predict me. After all, I also had spells and my glaive on my side.

The moment he would open up the magma, I would dodge and prepare my spells, keeping them readied with [Delayed Spell]. The more my magma room grew, the more spells I had readied. I was running on timer, but so were they. If they didnt come up with anything until then, then it would be my win!

Original Mind, temperature rising and rising! No core means we can overheat, so dont delay this for too long. Our body can only endure so much! Manager Mind informed me before my arrogance took over my decision making.

I know! Trust me! Keep it up!

Ten magic circles. 20 magic circles. How about five more! The potential damage increased even further, and when the next slash happened, I noticed it. I noticed the samurais arm slowing down by just a tiny bit. The rhythm he was keeping up was delayed, nearly costing me some scales as I mistimed my dodge.

Now!

And the moment the next slash happened, I hardened up the area where he shot his mana slash into solid obsidian, nearly blocking the entire attack. I had full control over my magma, and I meant it! Cooling and hardening a concentrated area into obsidian wasnt a problem for me, nor was opening up the areas where I had stored the magma spells!

Is this the fated battle, the light shines

Its blinding my sight

But Ive gotta hold on, the stage calls

The cries of a thousand, the flames of war will descend

[Music Resonation (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Just as the spells blasted forth, sending down lightning, wind, and holy attacks, I played [The Will to Fight and Survive] to increase my fire and holy damage by 10%. The dwarves activated their auracoil, protecting the samurai who was readying his attacks. The barrage of spells, however, were too much for the dwarves to endure as barriers left and right broke apart, to the point the dwarves had to act like meat shields.

Watching this through one of the slits I made, I threw my obsidian and glaive at them, forcing the dwarves to defend against them, only for my obsidian to turn fluid again while my glaive was made by Grimnir. As if it would break! Using this fact, the dwarves reacted too slowly when the [Unheilige Engel] slipped past their shields and lodged itself into the few gaps inside the armors, while my glaive continued attacking.

I couldnt inject my toxin into their protected bodies, at least, it didnt seem like it was possible from here. However, my magmas second phasecorrosive slime modestuck onto their joints and limbs, and once hardened, would slow them down enough for my glaive to force them to focus on defending. The samurai, noticing his allies inconvenience, decided to strike my glaive, but outside of sending it flying, the blade stayed intact even after he unleashed an iaido slash.

Again? the samurai let out. I guess he thought that was some second-rate glaive, but that thing was made not only from my materials but also the skills of Grimnir!

The demonkin girl also bumped her chest after sheathing her blade. [No city can escape our partys bad luck, right? The Aurora cant get a single calm adventure.]

Grimnir! Ellaine!

A note from AbyssRaven

Okay, that last part was a diplomatic problem, right? Right? The fact the boss dude just said he wanted to kill our lovely idol?

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.
