Chapter 219.1
GROOOOOOAAAAAAARR!!! (Dragon)
The ancient dragon roared in agony as its huge frame tilted.
With a thunderous sound, the dragon prostrated itself on the ground.
A faint light leaked from its mouth.
It was the glow of the spell.
As its power rose, a thin fingertip suddenly emerged from the ancient dragons mouth.
WHY, YOOOOOUUUU! Open up! (Emilia)
Emilia crawled out from inside the fallen dragons body, using to pry open its mouth. She grabbed Ledriano with her other hand, and pulled him out with all her might.
Leveraging on her experience in dealing with dragon variants, she had willingly jumped into the dragons mouth and bound its organs with .
Ledriano was unconscious, but barely breathing.
Soon after, the Hero Academy students came running up to him, and cast recovery spells on him.
Emilia! We cant keep this up! Eleonores spell may not let us die, but our magic power will run out first before then! (Raos)
They were drawing holy water to their location, but if their magic power was reduced to zero to begin with, they wouldnt be able to make full use of it.
Heine-kun! How long until the magic circle is complete?! Emilia asked via .
Im more than 90% done now! But the question is whether or not I can cast on the fly! (Heine)
Emilia was the only one in the Hero Academy who could cast without fail, but she was a demon.
Since holy water was toxic to her, she would have a hard time casting that spell properly. Even if she managed to, her body wouldnt be safe from it.
Youve been talking a big game nonstop, so youd better get it right on the first try! (Emilia)
Yeah yeah, I know. I really wish you didnt put all this pressure on me at a time like thi (Heine)
Heine stopped speaking as if he had noticed something.
Heine-kun? (Emilia)
This is bad. That blue dragon above is looking our way. It mustve noticed the magic circle. (Heine)
The moment Emilia looked up in the sky, the blue variant opened its mouth and spewed out a blue breath attack towards the ground.
Which flew in a straight line toward the magic circle that Heine had drawn on the ground.
Block it! (Emilia)
At Emilias signal, two students who were guarding the magic circle jumped up with and used their barrier magic.
Not on our watch! (Students A & B)
The sound of both magic colliding echoed, and part of the students barrier was frozen.
Ill back you up! (Eleonore)
From afar, Eleonor cast a on top of their barrier.
However, the raging blue breath froze both magic barriers. Without losing its momentum, it shattered the barriers as if they were thin layers of ice, and engulfed the two students, freezing them on the spot.
The dragons ice breath also froze 30% of the magic circle that Heine had drawn on the ground.
Dammit! Bad news, Emilia! It froze the magic circle! We wont be able to pour holy water in it unless we melt that ice! (Heine)
Emilia cast her steely gaze upward.
As long as that dragon was in the sky, they wouldnt be able to carry out their strategy.
Emilia-sensei! Well take care of that dragon. Well take it down in three minutes. I wont be able to revive anyone until then, so dont let anyone die! (Eleonore)
Emilia wrapped the threads of around Eleonores and Zeshias arms to protect them.
Were counting on you! As long as you take it down, we can win! (Emilia)
Got it! (Eleonore)
We will win! (Zeshia)
Eleonore and Zeshia kicked the ground and soared into the sky using .
More than half of the dragons in the sky above had already been shot down by Eleonores spell.
The remaining dragons assumed a new formation to protect the blue dragon, and spewed out their fiery breaths at both of their flying opponents.
Eleonore and Zeshia closed in on the dragons, and used the barrier to block their attacks.
At that moment, the surrounding dragons began to move away.
Then the blue dragon flapped its wings. That flapping was filled with an enormous amount of magic power, filling the entire airspace with cool air.
With each flap of the dragons wings, a violent blizzard blew in the sky.
They froze even the girls barrier, and interfered with their spell.
Zeshia! We cant hold out much longer. Lets take them all down at once! (Eleonore)
Eleonore threw a green sphere at Zeshia.
The latter touched and absorbed it.
Immediately after, her magic power increased dramatically.
Perhaps it was because her source was still developing, or because her potential was different, but the magnitude of her magic power increase was greater than that of Raos and the others.
Zeshia has practiced a lot (Zeshia)
Zeshia drew ten magic circles in an arc behind the dragon variant.
A square object appeared from the middle of each of them.
Zeshia was reflected in them.
They were mirrors.
This is (Zeshia)
Light gathered in Zeshias hand.
What emerged from it was the Holy Sword of Light, Enharle.
As Zeshia held it up, Enharle was also reflected in the mirrors she summoned.
The moment she seemed to be imbuing the magic mirrors with her magic power, Zeshias reflection in them disappeared, and so did that of the surrounding scenery, leaving only Enhales reflection in them.
Zeshia will duplicate (Zeshia)
The amount of Holy Swords of Light increased countless times, until a hundred of those holy swords floated around Zeshia.
Then, as the magic mirrors reflected them, a hundred more Enharles emerged from them.
Go get it, Zeshia! (Eleonore)
Here I go! Take a guess Which is the real one? (Zeshia)
Zeshia thrusted out Enharle with great vigor.
One hundred holy swords reflected in ten mirrors. A total of 1,100 Enharles attacked the blue variant, tearing its legs, wings, tail, neck, and head to shreds.
GRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (Blue dragon)
The correct answer is all of them (Zeshia)
No matter how tough the scales and hide of the variant were, it wasnt going to remain unscathed after being struck by more than 10,000 Enharles at once with Zeshias magical power.
Blood dripped from its huge body, and its scales were peeling off gradually.
The blue dragon stared at Zeshia with its Magic Eyes and opened its jaws wide.
Magic power and cold air gathered in the dragons mouth.
GROAAAAAAAARRR!! (Blue dragon)
Its blue breath struck Zeshia like a blizzard.
! (Zeshia)
Zeshia created two magic mirrors in front of her.
They reflected the dragons blue breath.
.Duplication. (Zeshia)
The exact same blue breath as the one she reflected was fired from both magic mirrors.
One of them canceled the dragons breath out, and the other one engulfed the dragons body.
Predictably enough, the beast was resistant to its own breath, but the icy air froze the areas where the scales had been peeled off.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!! (Blue dragon)
In a rage, the variant glided up and charged at the mirrors. The moment the dragon came in contact with them, the duplicating magic mirrors shattered.
Probably because they couldnt duplicate living creatures.
Zeshia, lets settle this! (Eleonore)
Holy water overflowed from the magic runes floating around Eleonor, which turned into a sphere that enveloped her.
Eleonor aimed and pointed at the variant with her hand.
. (Zeshia)
Two magic mirrors appeared in front of Eleonor, one on the left and the other on the right.
! (Eleonore)
This is an infinity mirror (Zeshia)
A beam of light, fired with the spell, passed through the center of the duplicating magic mirrors, which were facing each other.
Inside one mirror was the reflection of another mirror, and inside that mirror was another reflection of a mirror.
All of these mirrors duplicated the beam one after another.
An endlessly increasing number of light beams were released from the magic mirror all at once, and all of them merged into one and were fired at the blue dragon.
It was an enormous amount of light.
