AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
A really really really really really loud piercing scream could be heard. If one was near the source of the scream, their eardrums would have immediately burst. Like literally. I’m not kidding.
A short amount of time passed that seemed like an eternity for Lyn.
“Gasp… Gasp… Gasp…”
Lyn’s body floated listlessly in the air with no energy, with his body sometimes convulsing from time to time.
His mouth wide open with drool and foam leaking from it, going down to his neck. His eyes wide open, yet seemingly dull from the pain.
Nevertheless, there was still a hint of recognition in his eyes that persisted even after the intense pain and shock that he had felt. That was enough for him to perceive what the system said. Thus, using that as a way to distract himself from the aftershocks of the pain, which still leaves him in pain, but its effects halved.
As he read the system notification, his face gradually turned pale the longer he read through it. His expression was one with horror.
What the hell?
What do you mean by sensitivity increased by 100x? Do you want to get me killed?
Am I really that unlucky!?
God, why!??
Tears started to form in Lyn's eyes as he couldn’t contain it anymore, the injustice he was suffering was just too much to the point he couldn’t even do anything about it.
He cried while screaming in pain.
Is this even still a game?!!
The dragon, however, couldn’t care less. It was happier than ever after seeing Lyn’s suffering.
But now that it was now really fully satisfied, It raised its right hand to deal a killing blow. Finally killing Lyn once and for all and what should have already happened hours ago.
But before it could though, a shout that didn’t belong to the two of them could be heard once again.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
It was still the same phrase:
“Attack it!!!”
Sounds of wind tearing apart could be heard heading towards their direction.
The dragon wasn’t amused by this, so it quickly delivered a claw attack with its raised right hand.
A silhouette of a claw started to form from the wind and projected towards the uninvited guests.
The dragon expected that that attack was enough to annihilate them, however it couldn’t be more wrong as its attack was actually blocked. Not by multiple people, but just by one person.
What’s surprising about this person is that he was actually levitating, hinting at the fact that he could fly!
This also means that this person is powerful. But whether it could stop the dragon or not is an entirely different story.
The dragon narrowed its eyes as it glared at the newcomer.
The person who stopped the claw attack arrogantly said. “Hmph, vile dragon, how dare you trespass on human territory!
“This isn’t a place where you can simply wreck havoc as you please!”
Resisting the pain as much as he could, he struggled to turn his head to the right to look at the person who saved him.
‘Ah… Finally, someone capable…’ He said in his head.
After taking a look at him, he recognized that the man’s outfit was an outfit worn by adventurers meaning that he’s probably an adventurer. And by the lack of a green tag above his head, it signified that he’s also an NPC.
The dragon roared, enraged by the adventurer’s attitude.
It grabbed Lyn and threw him at the adventurer with astonishing might and speed, the adventurer reacted to dodge but after seeing that it was a person, it stopped and opened his arms to catch Lyn.
It was just as the dragon planned. The moment the adventurer opened his arms to catch Lyn, it opened its mouth and blasted an energy wave that was more destructive than an energy blast and was more potent too.
“Sh*t!” Seeing what the dragon did made the adventurer caught off guard.
He hurriedly raised his right hand as his other hand caught Lyn and embraced him on his shoulder.
“[Shield]!”
A circular projection of energy with its surface so smooth appeared.
It covered the two of them behind as it prepared to tank the incoming assault.
BOOM!
A sound similar to that of an explosion could be heard as the energy wave quickly hurled towards them.
It hit the shield of energy casted by the adventurer.
But it would not be long before the shield of energy shatters before the might of the energy wave.
Seeing that they would not last long with their shield, the adventurer turned his head to Lyn, “Be prepared.”
In response, Lyn said, “For what?”
But before he could add anything else, the energy shield shattered.
The adventurer quickly grabbed Lyn’s collar and threw him out to the side before it quickly hit them. And at the same time, the adventurer executed a skill.
He reached out both hands as magic energy quickly surrounded his entire figure. He chanted an incantation:
"Mirror, mirror, reflect!"
[Mirror Counter]!
A tall wide mirror that covered the adventurer's figure behind it manifested through magic energy.
The energy wave heavily crashed into the tall wide mirror that was made through magic energy without showing any signs of stopping. With the massive energy wave hitting the tall wide mirror, you would have expected it to break instantly, but however, it showed no signs of breaking, better yet, it was actively absorbing the energy wave till the very last energy.
It absorbed all the energy of the attack until there was no more left to absorb.
The dragon showed an expression of shock on its face.
"Release!!!" The adventurer shouted.
All of a sudden after that shout, the tall wide mirror created through magic energy showed signs of heating up, sparks of energy dancing through its body. Then, it exploded a ton of energy, doubling the size of the energy wave that was thrown at them earlier, towards the dragon itself, the original caster of the attack!
For the first time, the dragon felt a threat to its own life.
