CH 481

Sarge danced in front of the suddenly released breath of cold air and stood there to protect Aina and the others. Fearing that her body would be frosted in an instant and her movements would be slowed, Sarge spat out a fireball and moved forward.

“Take it easy, Sarge! I’ll go too! Jack, get the Dragon Cat to join us! Grandpa Dragon, if anything happens to Tilia and the others, I’ll kill you, so protect them properly!”

“A-All right, Dragon Cat, let’s go!”

“Nyaan!!”

“Good luck, Dra-chan!”

Aina and the others got off the Dragon Cat and flew towards the pale blue dragon with Jack on their paw. Then Sephiro called out to Tigre and the others.

“I’ll protect you both, don’t worry!”

“…… Fighting the demons are enough for me. Besides, in order to have the power to fight the demon and eat this fruit, I can’t do anything.”

When he heard Sephiro’s words and saw the fruit in his hand, he choked for a moment, but then the Grand Dragon lifted the corner of his mouth in a smile and muttered to no one in particular.

Then Aina and Tilia tugged on the edge of the Grand Dragon’s robe, making his mouth agape.

“‘Grandpa, Sephiro-chan, we have to support Sarge and the others!”

“‘Yes, we do! Oh, Dad’s on his back!”

“Good luck!”

The pale dragon heard the voice and opened his mouth, trying to shake Tigre off his back.

“Really? You’ve got wings, so you’re easy to hit!”

While Tigre was distracted, Sarge’s fist plunged into the pale dragon’s stomach. He then shoots a fireball from his mouth into its face, and the pale dragon breathes out a breath.

“Teacher, jump over here!”

“Yeah!”

Immediately afterwards, the fireball exploded and the two dragons retreated in a heap.

When the Freeze Dragon heard that he was a friend, he eyes widen, blinked, and immediately snickered and took a deep breath. 

Sarge tries to counter it with a fireball, but a soft, fresh snow-like breath spreads over a wide area, enveloping the fireball and easily drowning it out.

“This is bad, Sarge! Let’s get this over with!”

“Nyaan ……”

“You’re weak against the cold!? Because you’re a cat? Because you’re a dragon?”

In just a few seconds, the floor, walls and ceiling was frosted and icicles started to grow.

The floor froze, and Sarge, who had lost his footing, flew through the air, while Tigre and the others rode on the hand of the Dragon Cat, who was slowing down and sniffling.

The Freeze Dragon let out a howl as it evaded the claws of Sarge, who had attacked him from the air. Then the inside of the room vibrated–

“Oh no ……!? Dragon Cat, put me on your head! Grandpa Dragon, Sephiro! You take care of that one.”

“Sarge! Uwawa……”

“Kuoon ……!?”

“K-Kuoon!”

“He can’t do it yet, Grandpa. I’ll defend myself!”

The ceiling shakes, and the growing icicles rain down on Sarge and the others all at once!

Tigre, who sensed them, used his weapon to cut them off, and Aina and the others escaped with the trees that Sephiro had put up.

However, Sarge was flying through the air when it hit the auto protection and lost its balance and fell.

Tigre pounced on the freeze dragon as he stepped on the fallen Sarge, saying such things.

“Shut up! He’s been alone ever since the seal was broken! If humans are so bad, why didn’t you guys just come and get him yourself!”

“Uooooooooohhhh!”

“Teacher! Is this gonna help? !”

“Hang in there, Sarge!! You just need to breathe a lot of fire! Aina and the others will be fine.”

Sarge’s eyes widened as she heard Aina’s cheers.

“Nyafnnn……”

“Whoa!? What are you doing!?”

Sarge inhaled through his nose and spat out a flame from his wide open mouth, not a fireball ……

Normally, he would have spat out condensed flames, but now it was a breath with a wide range, like a carpet of flames.

The freeze dragon closed his eyes, folded its arms, and stood there, covered in the flames that Sarge was breathing out without any resistance.

Eventually, when he’d melted enough to create steam, Sarge stopped the breath and said.

“Ahhhh!? Sarge!”

He fell forward, making the ground shake.

As Aina and Tigre rushed to the scene, Sarge slowly opened his eyes and then opened his mouth.

“…… Unfortunately, it looks like the game is still on.”

As the steam dissipates, a grinning Freeze Dragon stands there with his arms crossed.

“He’s unharmed ……! What do we do, Tigre-sensei? It’s going to be tough without Sarge’s help.”

“I’ll take care of it. One blow to the heart and–“

“Kuoon!!”

“I’ll do it too! We have to avenge Sarge!”

“Yeah!”

With Sarge at his back and each of them in a fighting stance, the Freeze Dragon holds one hand out in front of him and says
