Chapter 22 • 1,411 words • 12 min read

The four magic scrolls that Su Ran bought for Isa were all different. Like the wind blade that Isa used to kill the ground dragon before, it could take effect quickly as long as it was torn open, and three wind blades would cut the ground dragon into pieces.

This time, facing the sequence four ground dragon, she decisively chose the most powerful one in the scroll. She gently tore open the magic scroll to attract the nearby magic essence, and a golden-red light mist was gathering around Isa.

Even the space near Isa gradually changed color. The golden-red light mist surged, and the magic essence contained in it made the vigilant ground dragon issue a low warning to Isa.

Different from the attacks issued in the magic array each time, which are only the size of a gun tip, the magic essence gathered from nearby after Isa tore open this magic scroll has reached a considerable level.

A human-like resentment flashed in the ground dragon’s eyes. It didn’t plan to stand still and wait for Isa to release the magic. It raised its injured front leg and stomped, and the ground made an uneasy commotion.

In a few breaths, several irregular spikes suddenly grew around the ground where Isa was standing, shooting towards her vital parts, vowing to skewer her into a string of candied haws.

This is the ground dragon’s innate skill, earth thorns, and many enemies have been buried on this in a surprise attack.

However, the ground dragon’s attack on Isa was destined to return without success. The released earth thorns were blocked by a layer of invisible barrier when they were about to approach Isa, and they all collapsed and shattered, turning into a pile of scattered sand again.

After seeing the ground dragon’s destructive power, how could Isa not prepare self-defense methods in advance and expose her whereabouts.

The barrier she just generated is the only trigger-type magic scroll called Witch Protection. It will be triggered when it encounters a fatal attack, and Witch Protection also has the most important function, that is, it can send a message that she has encountered danger to a fixed target.

This scroll was taken out by Her Witch Majesty, so naturally the fixed target of the scroll must be set to Her Witch Majesty.

‘Her Witch Majesty should have received my message now, right?’

Isa doesn’t know how long the message transmission will take. What she can do now is to persist long enough under this ground dragon before Her Witch Majesty arrives.

Concentrating her mind, Isa stopped thinking about anything else. The golden-red light mist gradually condensed into a ball. Blazing Meteor was the name of this magic scroll, and the target was locked on the ground dragon through Isa’s mental power guidance.

The guidance that Isa needs to do does not need to be accurate, she only needs to ensure that the magic is not empty.

“Go!”

With Isa’s voice, the blazing meteor locked on the ground dragon left a flame tail in the air, tearing through the night, and the air became unreal due to the scorching of the flames.

With unbearable high temperature, the flame came straight at the ground dragon.

The huge body became its obstacle at this moment, and the only thing it can do now is to eat this blow hard.

With a bang, the ground dragon’s roar appeared again.

The flames and scales met, and a burnt smell of meat began to hit Isa’s nose.

Obviously, the thick scales could not resist the burning flames, and the ground dragon was directly scorched to the skin and flesh by the flames.

When the raised smoke and dust dissipated, the miserable state of the ground dragon after receiving the Blazing Meteor was completely seen by Isa.

The front half of the ground dragon, which was hit by the Blazing Meteor head-on, was missing a piece, as if a part of the flesh and blood had been evaporated in the flames.

The dark brown scales were no longer as bright as before after being baked by the flames, and the scales melted by the flames were glued to the body.

As long as the ground dragon made a little movement, cracks would appear.

However, Isa stood in place and waited for a few breaths, but the ground dragon she was facing did not have any movements.

It stood firmly in place and was unwilling to fall.

Seeing this, Isa sighed, condensed magic essence and raised a breeze to blow towards the ground dragon.

The ground dragon, which should have stood in place, swayed after being blown by the breeze, and finally fell to the ground in full of unwillingness.

Looking around, after a battle, this open space in the forest has become a mess, most of which are the footprints left by the ground dragon or the ruins left after the house collapsed.

The house was personally given to her by Her Witch Majesty, and now it has become a ruin, which makes Isa feel very sorry, after all, it contains the memories of herself and Her Witch Majesty.

However, Isa does not plan to stay in place, the ground dragon came to take revenge in a big way, obviously attracting the attention of many magical beasts.

When they find that there is no sound coming from here, there will definitely be magical beasts who will be brave enough to come and pick up the leaks.

Therefore, continuing to stay here, Isa may need to continue to face the magical beasts that come one after another. Instead of staying in place, Isa might as well choose to leave.

Before leaving, Isa approached the scorched corpse of the ground dragon.

The magic crystal of a sequence four magical beast is a good thing, and can be used as a material for magic scrolls or magic items.

It once sold for hundreds of gold coins in Laita City, and Isa will definitely not miss such a good thing.

Just when Isa took out the magic crystal from the ground dragon’s corpse, a light golden sword light attacked Isa’s slender neck, trying to cut off her neck with one sword.

Facing the sudden sword light, Isa was shocked.

Different from Balun she encountered before, this sneak attack was unprovoked, and even Isa’s body was locked and unable to move.

The tip of the sword touched Isa’s neck, and a transparent barrier prevented the long sword from advancing any further. The Witch Protection she used before took effect.

This scroll has one advantage, that is, the magic will not be released until the fixed target comes, but will stay on her body all the time.

“Defense I’ve never seen before?”

Before Isa was knocked away by the powerful impact, she vaguely heard a soft exclamation.

Although Witch Protection can prevent attacks, it cannot block the impact generated by the long sword’s slash.

Isa, who flew out backwards, had a sweet and fishy taste flowing out of her mouth.

Until now, Isa finally saw the figure of the attacker clearly. Under the moonlight, the silver-white armor was flowing with a bright light, and the long sword in her hand was thick, and it still carried a sharp wind sound when swung in the opponent’s hand.

“Witch, let me introduce myself, my name is Uriel, was Balun killed by you?”

Isa did not speak, but just looked at the other party coldly. She still has a magic scroll in her hand now, and Witch Protection is still in effect. As long as she delays until Her Witch Majesty arrives, then the one who survives in the end will still be on her side.

“Don’t speak? It doesn’t matter, I was watching your battle with the ground dragon from the side. I think you relied on the magic scroll to kill Balun, right?”

A light golden luster appeared on Uriel’s long sword.

“But if you want to use the same means to deal with me? Then you are thinking too much, because I have already stepped into the ranks of sequence five!”

“Now go to hell and accept the trial! Those villagers who were bewitched by you will also follow your footsteps after accepting the trial!”

As Uriel said, the overwhelming power surged towards Isa.

For a time, Isa felt like a small boat in the sea, losing the right to control the direction in the wind and waves.
