The black-black sole, converging in the mouth of the dragon, has hit with an overwhelming momentum to increase its material mass.

Of course it never broke through my defensive magic, but still the exterior of the area, delimited in cubic form by my magic, is instantly anointed with pitch black.

The attack, as if ink had been sprinkled on the landscape painting, had been notified to us in advance by Krito, who had once witnessed it up close.

Says, "Black Flame".

This is the "Chantella" that this dragon is equipped with as the Spiritual Body of the Demon Nation.

Its breath, which is an ultra-high temperature flame but does not emit any light, cannot be noticed until just before eating in situations where the surroundings are dark. In fact, I heard that Crito's village was raided at night and half destroyed by one first black flame shot.

However, “black flame” is a major violation of the laws of physics.

... No, there's no laws of physics or shit at a time when magic or dragons exist in the first place and reincarnated infants are walking around, but that's not what I'm talking about!

A flame is something that always emits light. When I was a student, I didn't listen to classes that seriously, so I don't know why flames emit light, but there should be no such thing as flames that don't emit light.

They say the color of the flames can change depending on the combustion and temperature, but there can't be a pitch-black flame that doesn't emit any light.

So how do you explain this dragon's eye opening (chantera)?

The answer is simple, I'm just talking about 'this isn't a flame'.

Once I used some magic to slaughter the bandits who attacked our village.

One of them, The Vortex of Enthusiasm (Great Fan), is a magic that knocks hot air to above the temperature at which matter ignites.

I mean, you don't release the flame itself, you release so much hot air that the substances you touch burn up.

I'm sure that dragon's abilities are similar. It is easier to decide to take away light from the air than to take away light from the flames.

Besides, Lil 'said the flames that were burning in the village were usually orange, so even in that sense I deduce The Black Hot Air Theory.

... Well, whatever the actual mechanism is, I don't care more than it can easily prevent.

Eventually, when the black flames broke off, we began to see the surrounding scenery.

The first thing that caught my eye was a tree burning up violently in front of my tense junction.

Perhaps a dragon stepped on that simple flame couldn't defeat us, thrown in agony and came by. The point is, bad luck, right?

And behind us, the orange flames are on fire. I figured the mechanism might be what I expected.

...... that!? Didn't Lil say that if the tree sea burns, the demons living here will be furious!? It's burning pretty hard, is this okay...?

But I think my 'transparent flame' would be more useful in this magic, bright place, but I think the 'black flame' that won't even see it is effective in dark places because when an object touched by the hot wind burns, you will see the orbit of the attack.

I mean, there's something seco about using magic that only works with unintentional strikes in dark places on dragon habits...

Outside of my juncture, there's Lurora, but she'll be fine because she's given instructions to stay away from us beforehand by being vigilant about this attack.

Captain Dundee also listened to Lil 'Lulu, so I'd like to believe he must be avoiding... just can't be held accountable that far.

"... Hey, your husband. There's no dragon."

'What?'

With my gaze back forward in Reggie's words, I realize that I don't see that black dragon in the scenery shaken by enthusiasm there.

No way, that blackflame wasn't an attack earlier...!

"Maybe, did you run away!? Dear Sefi, chase them immediately!!

That's what Mr. Nelvia tells me when he's totally back on track to get the dragon bogged down and clear his mind.

I nod, but soon, without breaking the line, I decided to wait a while longer.

If you unbind immediately, the heated air may pour in and burn you. Fortunately there are no trees around thanks to the dragon ramming around, so if you wait, the temperature should drop.

As long as Reggie is around, you can't completely lose sight of that non-flying dragon. Plus Mr. Scattered Nelvia hit me in the hands and feet, and yes, you shouldn't be able to make that quick move. Let's catch him up slowly.

In accordance with the pledge of immortality, I am not going to kill that dragon.... but get two or three of your hands and feet so you can't be evil again.

After waiting awhile to do so, Captain Dundee, who manipulates the black horse, slowly approached us.

Seeing that, and deciding if I'm okay anymore, I'll unbind. Hot air like a sauna has poured in as soon as possible, but not unbearably.

Then Captain Dundee opened his mouth best,

"That dragon, when he left, said 'burn down the Knights of Reinforcement'! I'm sorry, but I just need a little more help from you!

…… Speaking of which, I thought you found out that reinforcements were coming soon.

We are heterogeneous in the Knights because we see them, and it's not surprising to note that the rest of the Knights aren't that strong.

If you have a knight with the same fighting power as Mr. Nervia or Reggie, it's a story that you should have just constituted an advance party to search and destroy.

Aware that you can't beat us, I guess it's an abdominal build-up that will devastate the Knights in an attempt to at least reward them with one arrow.

Captain Dundee showed the back of the black horse,

"That young girl has gone in the direction of the dragon first! Get in, I'll be right after you! About three more people should be able to ride it!

LeLaura, did you go alone first?!?

Yeah, but if our fight prolonged and the Knights of Reinforcement rushed, I'd have left the role of protecting them to LeLaura. Maybe he's trying to keep me faithful to that task.

Please, don't just be impotent...!

When I glanced at the black horse, the black horse gave in quickly to make it easier for me to ride.

And let Mr. Nelvia sit behind the captain, and I'll ride behind it, with Reggie supporting me from behind.

Shortly afterwards, when the black horse stood up lightly with the four of us on board, he just rang out, "Hold on tight," he said.
