Chapter 96 Race Difference 31-50 part 1 (Patreon)

「Mika, do you remember when I told you that Fairies are not affected by weather?」

「……yes」

「Good Luck!!!」

「That’s～Just～Un～fair～～～～」

31 was a wide desert. The sun is burning brightly in the sky to an almost deadly level. Although everyone is wearing hooded robes, it doesn’t help much in this heat.

「……」

「Ci, Cielo, don’t give up on your life……」

「……La Veil, I, I can’t go anymore」

It seems like La Veil and Cielo have become close friends now. Cielo now even abandons the polite speech with La Viel. La Veil seems to be really happy about it, though the way they look right now is similar to friends with one of them at the verge of dying and have given up on life.

La Veil similarly was a Dragon of Fire, and she’s not good with cold weather, but when it comes to hot environments, it doesn’t matter how hot it is, to which Cielo glared at.

「La Veil……unfair」

「Eh……」

However, if I let things continue this way, everyone will definitely be exhausted from the heat and I need to take measures soon.

「For the time being, I’ll add wind to the usual water magic that I conjure. This should be enough to change the situation for a bit, I think? 」

This time I created a cold water barrier and let the wind flow inside and out of the barrier wrapping everyone in a cooler atmosphere. After doing so, everyone’s faces slowly returned back to life and shows relieved expressions. It looks like my control have become even better after leveling so much which haven’t happened for a while.

「Alright, everyone, let’s continueー」

「「「Ha~i!!」」」

The desert floor has been a tough road for the children. Because of their short legs, they can’t walk properly and gets easily caught in the sand. That’s why even though are not really getting hurt, a lot of them continued to fall down from time to time.

「Now that I think about it, La Veil. Since you don’t need to hide your status anymore, can’t you just fly everyone on your back? 」

「Ah, you’re right. Alright, children, get on my back」

Using summoning magic used a lot of magic power, but that turned La Veil into a huge dragon. La Veil then spreads her wings and lowers it to the ground creating a foothold for the children to climb. Then with Ashia taking the lead, the children climbed on the wings until everyone got on La Veil’s back.

「This time, it’s twice as big as usual」

『I received immense amount of magic power…』

「I’ll go in the head～♪」

「Ah, I want to go too!」

「Me too, me too～♪」

Arena, Cielo, Mika placed themselves on La Veil’s head, while I sit beside Ashia while La Veil’s transformed her scales to prevent the children from falling off. The transformed scales took the shape of chairs, wall and even railings. La Veil is as dexterous as ever.

『It’s just an application of Dragon Magic. I usually find it uncomfortable, so don’t deform it too much』

「Can you do your best just a little bit for today?」

『Umu, but I would like mead as reward later』

「Haihai. Did you already finish all of what I have given before? 」

Everyone was cheerfully cheering La Veil who fluttered her wings to raise the altitude, and as the scenery goes higher, so does the loud voices of everyone. There is no problem when it comes to updrafts and strong winds since everyone is covered by a wind barrier. However, flying monsters are an exception since La Veil can’t really move much as usual, so it’s up to me, Mika and Area to deal with it..

『Aidle～there’s something over there～』

『Hmm? Monsters? 』

『It seems so』

I also wondered what those were. I then activated fairy magic. Using my hand forming a ring, I look the inside as if it was a 『Telescope』to observe. Unfortunately though, I can’t use 『Fairy Eyes』 when using this method to check their state. Now then, what’s the other party like～…

「This is. Aren’t they related to La Veil?」

『So are we letting shutting them down? 』

「Wait a bit」

The opponents we encountered this time are Red Dragons. They were about half the size of La Veil’s original size, but this is the largest by far I’ve seen in a group. I didn’t expect Red Dragons to act in a group though. Oh, and it seems like they have also noticed us.

「Will you get angry if we hunt them down?」

『Well, if they attacked first, then they should prepare themselves for retaliation. Even I did that myself you know?』

「Alright. For now I’ll return to fairy mode and close in on them to check their status」

Leaving the children in her protection, I flew straight to the flock of Red Dragons. Hmmmm, they really look similar to La Veil. Even with just one of these, the team they sent on Haval for subjugation would probably end up in a pitiful state. The power of an Ordinary Red Dragon is that strong……

【Inherent Skill】Dragonic Scales

Skills: Dragonic Magic（B+）Fire Attribute Magic（A）Body Difference Correction（C+）

The Inherent Skill 『Dragonic Scale』 seems different from 『Dragon Scales』, similarly Skills: 『Dragonic Magic』 also seems different from 『Dragon Magic』. Is this the difference between normal and ancient Dragon. Status wise, they are not as strong as the Metal Scorpions, but there are around 60 of them.

As I approached, the Red Dragons suddenly stopped midair. Are they going to engage me midair? Ah, the biggest Red Dragon came and suddenly talked to me.

『Fairy of Ancient Times, regarding the dragon behind you, is that maybe a descendant of Ancient Dragons? 』

「That’s right. What about you guys?」

『So that was the superior presence we detected that entered this floor, that’s why we came to see it』

『Is what they said』

『I see. It seems like they wanted to follow by instinct because of us being in the same kin 』

After communicating this, La Veil slowly approached the Red Dragon. This time I also ride on her head along with Arena. Or rather, I’m more surprised that they have knowledge about the existence of Fairies. There is probably some kind of connection from ancient times.
