Some kind of silhouette of a cloud sea with poor vision emerges.

That's a giant snake if you show up in a nutshell. I try to surround myself with a long body to protect the circular magic formations painted on the cliffs.

If there is a problem, the appearance is unclear.

Only the silhouette floated to me because of the attack on Melissa and the blow-up, but I still can't see the full story.

"You can't see it from up there."

It's not like I'm saying it's safe.

Trying to jump off a cliff can be stopped by Illis.

"You should check what's going on down there before you do that"

"... right"

The degree to which Noel's movements can be seen to be thin from the peek in condition.

"This way? Now, that's not the time!... Oops!

Groaning Noel.

Balloon eagles (balloon hawks) are moving up and down in such a state.

'... I'm pretty sure they're attacking me from something, I think. Something just plundered behind me.'

There seems to be no doubt that it is being attacked by physical means.

Still, we haven't come to know who the enemy is. Now Balloon Hawk is detecting the crisis and averting it, so we can just stay safe.

The situation may be persecuting.

"What happened to Melissa?

"... that could be more serious"

"Huh!?

We better make our own move now.

Jump off a cliff with Illis. A magically created airflow envelops and floats the body.

If you look next door, Illis is also freezing the air at his feet to form a scaffold.

Swing it down with momentum that can pull out the divine sword and push the clouds away.

"I knew there was something there"

Green blood overflows from where it was slaughtered.

The full extent of the enemy is unknown, so it cannot be used to effect the divine sword, but it can be slashed with a sword.

"Snake... no, dragon"

I have scales on my body from the feeling I felt when I slashed them.

"Retreat!

Moving sideways, the bouncing Illis kicks the enemy's body.

The cold air released from my legs covers my body and freezes it.

"I knew it was a dragon."

Frozen is a round, long body with more than three metres around its torso.

The dragon swirls in the air. I can only see the frozen part come true, but I can predict you're turning your face to where me and Illis are.

"Well, let me check on that first"

Iris points his hands in the direction of the enemy. As soon as possible, enough cold air is released into the surrounding area to freeze you. This is over the sky, and in the moisture clouds. Cold air has a strong effect.

Frost sticks to my body nearby. But it's done to this extent because it has strong resistance. If someone is exposed to cold air, his body will freeze in no time.

"Wasn't that good enough?"

That's what you should call a dragon.

Thanks to my possession of resistance, I was able to reduce the damage to the extent that frost sticks somewhere in my body.

"I knew it was a dragon"

Looks like a giant snake with scales.

But the head should be described as a dragon when it sees the same place as a dragon.

"It's really too powerful to be able to move around in the air with a giant hard body and hide even to the point of appearance besides. But what I'm talking about is animals. If you can only attack by such cowardly means, it's embarrassing to be called a dragon."

"Hey......"

Illis provokes this.

He understands that he is ridiculed because he is a highly intelligent dragon, and turns a blind but hostile caged eye.

When you slash an approaching dragon from the top of the ice, it runs over your back.

A long body becomes a weapon, but at the same time it is a weakness that becomes a blind spot.

Running but being slashed is rampant out of pain. The anger turns to me where I was naturally seen.

"What are you doing?"

Travel under the dragon's jaw.

You were going to throw up your braces. You were starting to swell. When you hit your mouth, the shockwave braces fly up.

He hits him as he moves underneath his belly toward his tail.

Unknown demon of the entity. However, the camouflage skin peeled off after accumulating damage.

"You finally showed up."

The appearance also lifted the skills that were interfering with [appraisal].

"Cloud Dragon. A dragon with skills that can be assimilated to clouds"

[Cloud identity]. Stats can be enhanced by the density of clouds around them, and body wounds can be healed by moving through and bathing in the clouds.

"But you need to move around to use that skill."

I can't afford a cloud dragon that keeps taking damage.

A weakness that is common in demons where only status is high from birth. I don't know how to move when I encounter an enemy who can fight more than equal to me because I have less experience fighting before. I have never taken any further damage, so I cannot tolerate the pain.

Now I have to eat up my teeth and endure it.

"That's a high level dragon. He's attacking me and Illis from up and down, but I can't see him falling."

Being in the clouds is raising the status of the cloud dragon.

"And that's because of another skill."

Skills that emit different colors in some skills - [Guardian of the Gate].

Others are the skills the Dragon uses to attack, except for unique skills, but not the skills the Dragon possesses. This is a skill given by the Labyrinth Lord to those who protect the Transition Magic Formation.

"Skills that increase your status by fighting within a certain range from the Transition Magic Formation. Very handy skills, but easy to deal with."

You just have to stay away from the metamagic formation. If you can get out of a certain range and drop your status like you're coming after me. Skills that work positive the closer you are, but the more you leave, the less status you lose.

But the opponent is a smart dragon. I know that if I leave, I will weaken.

Perhaps even if provoked, they will only fight within the validity of [guardian of the gate].

"I'd like to capture you if I could."

I want to check on [Guardian of the Gate].

However, I can only read the information on the superficial layer because I am in pain when [appraisal] is doing enough damage to use it. To get deeper information, we need to do something about [cloud isomers].

"Can I have a word?

Noel's story from a remote location.

"Speaking of which, where'd you go?

"I'm directly above the clouds now"

"If possible, I just need a hand over here."

'You need to seal enemy skills more effectively. Have you forgotten my skills?

Noel points the scepter towards the cloud in the direction of the cloud dragon.

Then, the clouds disappear from the perimeter so that they can be pushed away, and the perimeter clears brightly after less than a minute.

"[Weather manipulation] - It was all about lightning and snow, but it's a skill that can manipulate clouds in the first place."

Cloudy and fine weather.

However, it is not usually used because it does not make sense where the cloud is operated.

"Now you can't even disappear anymore."

Stand in front of a dewy cloud dragon.

I get bogged down and I turn to my frightened eyes. But he didn't give up completely. He uses the power hidden from the [guardian of the gate].

"... what did you do?

Multiple signs I feel from under my eyes.

A dozen dragons were approaching.

"I see. Can we summon the demons around us with one of the guardian's will"

The object to be called upon is - the Transition Magic Formation, which is the gate.

Skills that bring multiple demons to the gate simultaneously. By pushing it at once, the gate will cross its limits, and it will collapse. At that time, those by the gate are eliminated from being recognized and played as disturbers. That's how you get rid of me.

However, the biggest downside is the death of the guardian. Those who have been given the skills of [guardian of the gate] are to collapse themselves with the collapse of the gate.

That was all the fear I was now receiving for the Cloud Dragon was intolerable.

"Is this the dragon that the Goblin Emperor yearned for"

I feel sorry for him when he shows up like that.

"First, we need to do something about the dragon down there."

"No problem"

Melissa interrupts the dragon with multiple magic formations that rotate around her.

"I'll take care of everything."

Melissa's eight hits began.
