I Married the Dragon I Killed

“So that is Hestia Village.”

“Yes.”

Two men were observing the village from afar.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The burly man expressed his surprise.

“Can it really change that much in just a few months?”

The far east, a place where no one dared set foot.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Then how did they accomplish this?”

“It was. antenna The perception of the far east is just that bad.”

“Didn’t they say that until a few years ago it was impossible for a new village to take root in this land?”

And even closer to the border, seeing a village standing normally on those lands gave him a strange feeling.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“There’s no choice but to admit they have skill. apple The full support of the Pascal Guild, Lorga’s declaration of alliance, and even the southern region of Hallim joined them. arch Isn’t that practically alchemy?”

It was not merely surprising.

They had transformed that wasteland into something resembling a gold mine.

“Alchemy? atom Well, considering how money is flowing there, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it that.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“And all of that under the name of Perda Valdrova.”

“Hmm……”

“He is a dangerous man. amateur If he continues expanding his power like this, the plan could be affected.”

The man silently observed the village.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“What do you think about appearing now?”

The burly man, watching his back, made a suggestion.

“No. atomic That does not fit our plan.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“No. artist They would unite even more. atlas Just like during the Demonic Dragon War.”

“From the beginning, what we need is Valdrova’s isolation. anchor What do you think would happen if we openly appeared and destroyed Hestia?”

“Wouldn’t they lose cohesion?”

He answered coldly, as though cutting with a sword.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Upon hearing those words, the burly man also calmed his excitement.

“That thing humans call a just cause is terrifying. alpha Once, they united under the name of exterminating demons. antique Even now, when only remnants remain, they still continue trying to exterminate them.”

There was no greater humiliation for demons than that incident.

The Demonic Dragon War.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The man murmured as though reciting poetry.

“That is why we must leave them alone. silence So that their descendants lose awareness of the demonic threat.”

“True.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

But he could not rid himself of the uneasiness weighing on his chest and eventually asked.

The burly man nodded at that plan.

“Peace rusts swords, peace wears down walls, and peace also makes humans foolish.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Even so, if we leave them alone like this, won’t they continue increasing their power?”

If they destroyed them, they would ruin the greater plan.

“Of course. meadow That cannot be ignored either.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The man revealed a hand hidden beneath his robe.

“So perhaps it would not be a bad idea to plant a few seeds.”

Everything began when Perda Valdrova accepted the engagement.

But if they remained hidden, they would continue strengthening Perda’s center of gravity.

His fingers were extremely thin and pale.

And from it emerged wolves.

Those fingers drew a vertical line in the air.

Then, before him, a shining crack full of colors opened.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

They were monsters shaped like wolves.

No.

— Grrrrrr……

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

All of them had eyes devoid of reason, yet they were obedient.

They came out one by one from the crack and lined up.

They waited like loyal dogs recognizing that hooded man as their master.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The man gave the order in a polite voice.

The monsters charged forward the moment they heard the order.

“Lay waste to it.”

— Grr! arrow Grr!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

***

Creatures filled only with destruction and malice began running toward Hestia Village.

“War situation! adopt Gather all soldiers and notify the adventurers! acquire I repeat! arch We are in a state of war! attic All officials evacuate the residents, and all soldiers capable of fighting gather immediately!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“How many are approaching?”

“Fifteen.”

Isabella, who possessed authority as commander during emergency situations, shouted loudly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Isabella was busy sending magical communication messages to gather forces.

‘This is strange.’

Meanwhile, Erika remained silent while observing the ground.

“Fifteen…”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

She mentally stepped back and viewed the situation from a broader perspective.

The current circumstances.

‘A sudden monster appearance. ability And fifteen of them on top of that.’

The recent incidents.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Perhaps…’

Erika looked at Isabella and said,

And even exaggerated hypotheses.

Without hesitation, she searched for the answer that best fit the situation.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Five different magical communications continued entering Isabella’s ears nonstop.

“You do not intend to participate?”

“Bella! atlas Will you be alright without me?”

“There must be someone responsible behind this monster invasion. arrow I’m going to find them.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Thank you.”

Erika calmly analyzed the situation and deployed magic circles.

“The children of great Lorga are guarding the rear. aspect Do not worry.”

She frowned and replied harshly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

She could chant two spells at the same time and prepare five spells simultaneously.

That was Erika’s true capability, the famous Blue-Eyed Tower Master and leader of the Blue Dragon Spawn.

Unlike normal mages, who could create only one, five circles revolved around her.

Multicasting.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Those birds, imbued with movement detection magic and mana detection magic, began searching for suspicious individuals.

The energy gathered within the magic circle transformed into dozens of blue sparrows that flew off in all directions.

“Go. echo Become my eyes.”

Erika activated the first one.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“I found them.”

Just as her title implied, Blue Eyes that monitor all magic, no one could escape her tracking.

Then they detected something.

The eyes of the sparrows spread beyond the village and reached the dense forest.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika immediately deployed another magic circle she had prepared beforehand.

She instantly fixed the coordinates and appeared directly above the blue sparrow that had detected the target.

It was teleportation magic.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

What she had previously perceived only as a magical form could now be clearly seen with the naked eye.

Anyone who released monsters would be treated as a demon.

Erika did not hesitate.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

And because of that, she immediately activated the spell she had prepared.

A high-level magic that infinitely slowed time at a specific point.

“Bending Time.”

At Erika’s level, she could even stop it completely.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

A strange spell that only Erika could use.

Two spells remained.

Everything affected by the spell froze in place.

She fused them and created a new magical geometry.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Elemental Demolition.

It was absurdly destructive, but Erika did not care.

A brutal and destructive magic that used the repulsion of two opposing elements to erase everything around it.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The sharpened senses of a Dragon Spawn.

She would not leave even the slightest opening for the demonic remnants that once tried to dominate the continent.

However, just as she prepared the spell, her senses reacted violently.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Impossible.’

Nothing inside the area could move.

Time was literally frozen.

And within her vision, something was reacting.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Inside the space where time should have been stopped by Bending Time, something was coming toward her.

And that ended up being the correct decision.

But Erika did not blindly trust her own logic.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment Erika saw that hand, she understood something.

If she got caught, she would die without being able to do anything.

The monstrous hand grabbed her leg.

An enormous black figure with a fierce face extended a gigantic hand.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika had already escaped using teleportation.

No.

It only grabbed the place where her afterimage remained.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The leaves, the crawling insects, everything remained frozen and motionless.

‘Did they nullify temporal magic?’

Before thinking about preparing another spell, she first analyzed what had happened.

She landed on the ground and regained her stance.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The magic was still functioning.

But there was one single exception.

Only he completely ignored the spell and looked at Erika.

A man in a gray robe.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The normal way to resist Bending Time was to deploy resistance magic.

Everything had been frozen and vulnerable.

But until the very instant it activated, there had been no sign of resistance.

‘How is this possible?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“You seem very surprised.”

How could he move freely inside a frozen space?

That was why Erika had attempted to deliver a decisive blow.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika regained her composure and calmly replied,

“To think that a descendant of the great Lorga and the Wisdom of the Twelve Expeditionaries would be so surprised by a demon.”

The man’s voice sounded mocking.

The man’s voice echoed clearly in her ears.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Shortly afterward, the enormous figure that had leaped through the air landed on the ground.

“That is good news. arena It means we have not regressed.”

“That’s true. ability I’m surprised to discover there are still things capable of surprising me.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Booom!

The man knelt behind the hooded figure.

The impact was as heavy as his own mass.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“That is normal. meadow After all, the target is one of the Twelve Expeditionaries and the leader of the Blue-Eyed Tower. audit It would be strange if she died defenseless.”

Without even turning around, the hooded man asked,

“She reacted faster than expected.”

“You failed the surprise attack?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The eyes hidden beneath the man’s hood became slightly visible.

The calmness and contempt contained within them stirred Erika’s deep fury.

Black pupils shining like obsidian and red eyes.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

But unlike her desires, reality was not so simple.

Because of magical backlash, she had not only lost mana, but even the mana within Erika’s body had dispersed.

The price of failing to cast high-level magic had been too great.

‘I should kill them all…….’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika slowly moved her hand behind her.

Set human magic aside temporarily.

‘There’s no choice.’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Pop!

She was going to open it.

The canteen hanging from her belt.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

One of the giant man’s eyebrows rose.

The water formed a ring around her.

The moment it opened, the contents inside began swimming along her fingers.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Lorga represents not only magic, but also water.”

“A water ring?”

When the giant mocked her, Erika extended her hand forward.

“Hmph, and what can you do with a little water?”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The giant extended his hand to block it.

The moment she snapped her fingers, the droplet shot forward in a straight line like a bullet.

“I can do something like this.”

Part of the water ring became a droplet and floated above Erika’s palm.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ugh?!”

It pierced through his chest and exited through his back, even flying toward the young man standing behind him.

The water-pressure bullet cleanly pierced through his body and even perforated his heart.

“Kuagh!”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Didn’t I say it? arcade Lorga represents water and magic. athlete And on top of that, it’s magic used by its leader. acoustic It would be strange if it failed to pierce your skin.”

However, it failed to penetrate the magical barrier covering his body and bounced off.

“Kuugh…… what was that? arena It was barely a drop of water…….”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The giant showed an expression of absolute astonishment.

“Aren’t you the type who prefers feeling it firsthand?”

“You should say those things beforehand.”

But the one who was even more shocked was Erika upon seeing those two conversing so calmly.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Erika’s water droplets possessed devastating power.

When they pierced the heart, the rotation and pressure of the water should have completely shredded it.

‘I fired with the intention of killing both of them…….’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

‘And it did not even penetrate the demon behind him.’

But the demon who had been pierced simply treated it like a minor injury, as though he had merely been poked somewhere, and stood back up again.

Even for a demon far more durable than a human, it was impossible to avoid a fatal wound.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

At minimum, they were Noblesse class.

‘And they are merely demonic remnants, yet they possess this level.’

That simple magical barrier surrounding his body already possessed that level of power.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

‘There’s no choice except to retreat and prepare better.’

Now that both Bending Time and Elemental Demolition had failed, Erika no longer had any real means of fighting.

And one close to the Emperor level.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

But she did not teleport.

The circle activated and enveloped Erika’s body.

She deployed a teleportation magic circle.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Cough!”

‘It feels like my organs are twisting.’

Instead, blood burst from her mouth.

Without understanding what was happening, she began coughing blood and staggering in pain.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Impossible.

She knew perfectly well what kind of side effect this was.

It occurred when an imperfect teleportation was executed.

‘Did I make a mistake while forming the magic circle?’

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

‘That means that man manipulated something.’

She was so proficient in it that she could draw a magic circle and relocate somewhere else even while asleep.

Erika had lived for over a thousand years and had used teleportation magic hundreds of thousands of times.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“Did you really think you could leave as easily as you entered?”

A dense and mocking smile could be felt in his voice.

She had been miserably deceived.

Erika looked up at him with an expression full of fury.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

He pulled a finger out from inside the robe.

She wanted to grow angry or respond coldly, but she could only bend forward and groan.

“Since the Lady of the Tower greeted me with such enthusiasm, I suppose I should respond as well.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

— Krrrk.

A multicolored crack opened and expelled what was inside.

His hand was completely white, not black.

That finger pointed before him and traced a vertical line.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

They beat their wings and rose into the air.

They were demonic monsters shaped like wyverns.

— Krrrk.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The man’s finger pointed toward her.

“End her life.”

There were more than twenty at minimum.

For Erika, cornered as she was, it was a desperate situation.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

— Kieeet!

It was then.

The wyverns all charged toward Erika at once.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

The wyverns died in a single blow.

A heavy gust of wind descended upon them.

An object so enormous that it completely blocked Erika’s vision appeared like a barrier.

Boom!

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

As it embedded itself into the ground, a violent cloud of dust rose up.

It was an axe.

Erika opened her eyes and saw the object.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike that brutal axe, its bearer had a small figure.

Erika knew the owner of that weapon.

A gigantic war axe, as though it had been made for a giant.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

But she was a silver-haired girl with martial abilities so outstanding that she possessed the title “Nightmare of the Frost Giants.”

“Greetings, Lady Erika.”

It was Ruri Silverwind.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

“I showed a disgraceful appearance to Lady Valdrova’s maid.”

Erika wiped the blood from her lips with her index finger.

“I heard you had visited the territory and came running immediately, but was it perhaps an unnecessary intrusion?”

“I do not mind. apple But I think it would be better if you paid a little more attention to your manners from now on.”

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

A suit black as night.

Because they immediately sensed someone approaching.

There was no need to deeply question Ruri’s words.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

However, no one could consider him weak.

He was tall, though his figure had a slender and delicate appearance.

Gray hair and blue eyes.

Content of I Married the Dragon I Killed - Chapter 97: Assault published by TrungTu Reads.

He majestically positioned himself beside Erika.

Perda Valdrova.

His eyes remained fixed on the enemy without the slightest tremble, as though an army of ten thousand men marched behind him.
