The fire dragon’s flas burned as if they would set the world ablaze. Next to it, a crimson light of a different nature rose.
Compared to the fire dragon’s raging and rciless flas, it was a weak and insignificant little fla.
But I could tell how much power was condensed into that small fla.
The fla that Shin Se-hee had kindled.
While everyone was fighting the fire dragon, she had compressed and compressed it.
It was a tiny fla refined to burn only a single scale.
’She found the reverse scale.’
I felt a sense of pride in Shin Se-hee, even though I trusted her.
’Now’s the ti for an all-out attack.’
Of course, it was hard to tell because the flas were mixed together, but if the fire dragon noticed that fla, it could beco troubleso.
I knew everyone was tired from the long fight, but I shouted at the party mbers with veins popping out of my neck.
"Full-scale attack!!!"
As soon as I gave the order, Yoo-ri’s provocation rang out.
Taking that as a signal, the party mbers rushed towards the fire dragon, stepping on the ice platforms. I, too, flew towards the fire dragon with them.
─Rooar
─Swing
The dragon roared and swung its heavy tail.
As the dragon’s attacks were rendered useless by Yoo-ri’s provocations several tis, it ca up with a new strategy. It could attack the other party mbers in one go by swinging its tail with force and size.
But Utopia hadn’t been playing around with the fire dragon either.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
The party mbers skillfully stepped on the ice platforms to dodge the tail’s path.
"Accelerate!"
I swung my sword with all my might, receiving Lim Ga-eul’s skill from behind.
The sword, which had been in constant contact with the fire dragon, was starting to lt, but it was still alive.
One Strike
Swish
The sword made of ice sliced through the fire dragon’s belly.
Taht!
At the sa ti, Kang Do-hee, who had fire resistance, though not as much as Shin Se-hee, flew towards the dragon’s face.
Pwook!
Kang Do-hee’s gloved hand, encased in ice gauntlets, stabbed at the dragon’s eye.
Hwarururuk!
The fire that rose from the dragon’s face seed like it would burn her whole body, but Kang Do-hee gritted her teeth and desperately held on.
"Keuueuk!"
Bang!
Finally, her hand gripped and burst the dragon’s eyeball.
Then, the dragon began to thrash its long neck like a whip, destroying the space.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Kang Do-hee’s body slamd into the wall along with the dragon’s head.
"Kuk!"
Because of this, Kang Do-hee had to fall off.
But I chuckled.
"It’s over."
Shin Se-hee’s fla had reached the dragon’s reverse scale.
The crimson fla burning brightly was headed towards the back of its heel. It seed like the Achilles’ tendon was where the reverse scale was located.
Hwarururuk!
As Shin Se-hee’s fla burned the dragon’s heel, the scales began to flip.
The reverse scale spread like a plague throughout the dragon’s body.
As its entire body was turned into reverse scales, the fire dragon began to turn pitch black, as if it had been charred.
In other words, its whole body had beco weak to fire, its original attribute!
All that was left was self-destruction.
The fire dragon let out a roar that was incomparable to its previous ones.
The thundering roar struck our eardrums.
And soon after.
We could see the pitch-black body of the fallen fire dragon.
"....."
The party mbers silently gazed at the dragon’s corpse.
"Waaah... Huff, juniors... We... We... caught the fire dragon..."
Lim Ga-eul, who had been dazedly staring at the dragon’s corpse, spoke as if she couldn’t believe it.
"It wasn’t easy, huh."
Kang Do-hee struggled to get up and snapped off the burnt ends of her hair with her fingers.
"Is it really... Really dead?"
Yoo-ri repeatedly lifted and lowered her shield, examining the dragon, and finally sighed in relief when she was certain it was dead.
"Haaah─"
"It really felt like it was going to die. Huff. My whole body feels beaten up."
In fact, Yoo-ri had been blocking the dragon’s attacks throughout the fight, so it wasn’t a wrong thing to say.
"Yeah, too... We ca here to relax with Jin Yuha, and I haven’t even been to the hot springs yet. I need to soak in the hot springs today..."
"Hmm, that’s impossible, isn’t it?"
Sophia grumbled, and Shin Se-hee, who had been hiding all this ti, erged, shaking her body.
"....Huh? Why?"
"Well, the hot springs were heated by this fire dragon, but we’ve caught it, haven’t we?"
"Ah."
Sophia opened her mouth, sounding foolish.
The party mbers chatted about the dragon’s corpse, but I wasn’t paying attention to them.
Tting─♬
[ [ Title ─ First to Subdue the Fire Dragon. Dragonslayer ] ]
The first achievent title I had been waiting for appeared before my eyes.
’Kkeu, this is it!!’
As expected, when the first achievent title popped up, I clenched my fist tightly.
[ 10% damage to all types of dragons. ]
Yeah, additional damage to dragon species.
This wasn’t just talking about water dragons or earth dragons.
It ant all kinds of dragons. In other words, if it looked like a dragon or had even a little bit of dragon blood in it, it was a 10% additional damage. You could say it applied to any lizard-like creature.
Then,
Tting─♬
The bell rang out again.
I knew what this was.
I had seen it after defeating a demon for the first ti.
[ Your rank has risen. The stars are upon you. ]
Yes, a rank increase!
’Kyaa, this is it... This is what I’ve been waiting for!! I was still a two-star, so I didn’t expect this!!’
Just like the first ti, the light of the stars shone above my head.
Burururur─
I felt my body tremble and closed my eyes.
Then, a thought ca to mind.
The first ti I had a rank increase, I didn’t have the presence of mind because of the situation.
But this ti, I had the leisure to think about other things.
’But when I have a rank increase... Do my clothes co off...?’
The rank increase service scene.
Well, I had already shown it once before.
Back then, I was in a daze, and it was only with a small group: my teacher, Lim Ga-eul, and Sophia.
But this ti, it would be in front of the whole party...?
I quietly opened my eyes and turned my trembling pupils towards the party mbers.
"....."
The party mbers all seed to know that sothing was about to happen, and they watched with bated breath.
Kkolkkak─
Among them, Sophia, who had experienced it once before, stared at intently while discreetly taking out her cara.
’Ah.’
I was screwed.
.

anwhile, in the principal’s office of the Velvet Hunter Academy.
"Haa."
Lina stretched her arms towards the sky and yawned after finishing her work.
"Hmm, Seol-hee said she was going to Jeju Island, didn’t she..."
Lina tilted her head to the side to relieve her stiff shoulders.
Jeju Island.
It was a place with a special aning for her as well.
It was where she had first t Seol-hee, and it was an area where gates frequently appeared despite its small size.
’Jin Yuha said he would clean up the dungeon on Jeju Island this ti, and Seol-hee went with him...’
In addition, Baek Seol-hee’s Demon Slayer squad had suddenly left to deal with the gates in the Maldives and Bali.
When she heard this news,
The nagging sense of anxiety that she didn’t know where it was coming from faded a little. It felt similar to when Jin Yuha stepped in to resolve the situation during the mid-term evaluation.
’Hmm, but I still feel a bit anxious. It doesn’t seem to be related to Jeju Island, though...’
Still, she felt much better than before.
Thinking of Baek Seol-hee and Jin Yuha in Jeju Island, she suddenly rembered sothing from a long ti ago.
’Ah, Jeju Island. Now that I think about it, I turned one of them into a hot spring resort.’
The troubleso fire dragon, which had turned an entire gate into a volcanic zone. If a gate explosion had occurred there, it could have caused a disaster worse than the destruction of Pompeii. So, she had invested a year and poured her magic into freezing the gate’s environnt itself.
After finishing the work,
Lina wanted to soak in hot water. So, instead of killing the fire dragon, she built a resort and sealed it underneath, using it to heat the hot spring water.
"Hmm, today’s work ended quite early."
Lina nodded, looking at the neatly organized docunts on her desk.
"Let’s go to the hot springs for the first ti in a while."
Since she had used the ice palace, which was the foundation of the fire dragon’s seal, as a hot spring palace, the fire dragon would still be diligently heating the hot spring water unless soone destroyed the walls or floor of the palace.
"Well, in the first place, it’s impossible to enter unless you know the exact location, so it doesn’t matter."
There was only ice and snow there now, so hunters didn’t even enter.
"No one would be crazy enough to find the ice palace there, tear down the walls or floor, and release the fire dragon."
Lina shook her head with a chuckle.
"Then, let’s go. Rest."
Lina left, looking forward to soaking in the hot springs for the first ti in a while.
