The Abandoned Baroness is one of the Black Knight’s favorites

The flaming dragon crusade that took place was far from the adventure Mathias had imagined.

There is a royal forest about an hour from King's Landing. Looking from the outside, there was a light smoke rising from one place, and I knew where the flamethrower was. Gilbert and Mathias connect the horse to the forest entrance and kill the footsteps to get close to the smoke.

"There it is. That's the Fire Dragon."

Gilbert's first sight of the Fire Dragon was exactly what he deserved to call a Magic Beast. A giant mouth resembling a reptile body. The height across his neck was as high as the lush trees around him. When I saw the feathers growing, I'm sure they flew so far.

Gilbert has seen the Beast several times so far. It was just the size of a pig that had vandalized the fields when the family returned to the Marquis of Forster. I scolded the heart of a giant beast I've never seen before.

"Your Highness, for now, if this crusade..."

Mathias answers Gilbert with a shy smile.

"Of course, it's a secret to the Knights. I wouldn't be allowed to come here without a knight myself, would I?

That's what happened. Gilbert honestly regretted the choice he had made. But now that he's here, we have to take him down. There was no escape option for Gilbert.

The flaming dragon, examined in advance in the book, seems to fly through the sky with its wings and cause harm to the city by spitting out flames from its mouth. It was also written that body surface temperature and the firepower exhaled depend on the surrounding environment. They usually live in uninhabited volcanic zones, but rarely appear near people and are treated as vermin.

Then the surface temperature is lower than when you are in the volcanic zone now, and the firepower of the exhaling flame is weaker.

"That's right. Let's get this over with."

Gilbert stretched out his arms and stacked his palms in front of his chest. Focus the magic in your body on your palms. The target is the Fire Dragon feathers and mouth, which can be a threat.

"Wait, it's the Fire Dragon. Plan ─ ─"

Faster than Mathias said, the ice blade that emitted the cold air from Gilbert's hand was blasting the flamethrower's wings.

Gearaaaahh!

I threw a sphere of ice into the mouth of a screaming dragon. The flames that were about to be ejected were wiped out by the ice. The next time the Fire Dragon closes its mouth, Gilbert ice it so that it doesn't open.

Gilbert smiled at the situation as expected. Like Matthias had forgotten his words, he was just staring at them.

"Your Highness, if you don't do anything, I'll take care of it."

Fire dragons that do not fly through the sky and do not spit out flames are no longer a threat. Any creature can be defeated if it falls off its neck.

"Hah!? Okay ─ ─ OK!

Mathias ran out and pulled out the sword he had put up on his hips. Gilbert follows suit. Although the biggest threat is shredded, the nails have ample killing power, and the ice in the mouth shackles won't last long in the Fire Dragon. It was necessary to put a piece on quickly.

I can't reach my neck as it is. Mathias was waving his sword at his hands and feet. Gilbert thinks it's best to aim for something other than Mathias. However, the skin covered in the scale was harder than expected, and it was hard enough to cut it many times, and the wound finally spread.

It's troublesome.

Someday it will cut, but how long will it take to reach the tendon? Honestly, manpower didn't make sense.

"Lord Gilbert?

Mathias felt Gilbert's change and called out. It would be a waste of time even now to have your name given to you.

"You don't have to throw it away. Your Highness, please leave."

The surface temperature is influenced by the ambient temperature. Then cover your whole body with ice. Gilbert took off his right wrist bracelet to make sure Mathias was distanced from the Fire Dragon. Without control, the maximum power of magic is increased. There was no need for bracelets in particular at the present time, when there were no people around and Gilbert herself was calm.

And the same magic that was directed at the mouth of the Fire Dragon earlier, this time towards the whole body of the Fire Dragon.

"─ ─......"

His breath is slightly disturbed by the release of great magic. But it seemed worthwhile, and when I stopped magic, the Fire Dragon was completely iced. If it's frozen, it doesn't matter if it's hard scales or skin. The frozen ones are fragile. Gilbert wrapped his sword around the magic of ice and ran up the flamethrower's body from tail to back, lightly dropping his neck. There was a loud noise and the ground rocked.

Jump off to make sure he's done it, and walk to Mathias, who was far away.

"Your Highness, the crusade is complete. - Your Highness?

Mathias looked at the flaming dragon with a stunned face, but slowly shifted his gaze to Gilbert.

"Er... oh, yeah. That was more efficient."

"I'm sorry. I've never seen a flamethrower before, so I didn't know what to do."

It took time because Gilbert's outlook was sweet. Because it was a corner adventure, we wanted to defeat the Fire Dragon together, but it was tougher than expected. If you knew it was so hard, freeze it from the beginning and stab it with Mathias.

"It was a hassle... I see, I see. Ha, hahahaha...."

Matthias said he couldn't stand it, and laughed out loud. I don't know what was funny. Gilbert can only tilt his neck.

"Your Highness?"

"Hmm... that was interesting. Let's take another adventure together."

Mathias wiped away the tears that seeped into her eyes while laughing.

Gilbert felt strangely clean. Did you enjoy the adventures of Mathias' friends because you were able to consume the magic that was smoking inside you?

Regardless, this triggered Gilbert and Mathias to spend more time together.
