Chapter 57

Apparently, the scales on its flank are weaker than the rest of its body. The ice blades pierce halfway into the Dragon King’s torso. Twisting its body, the Dragon King blocks the remaining blades with its back—its thick scales. But that’s the same spot that had earlier deflected the ice blades. The surface is frozen stiff, already beginning to crack.

――Grrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooh!!

Scales split and burst apart, spraying bright red blood. The Dragon King spreads its wings again, trying to create distance. Its movements seem slightly sluggish—likely due to the Wolf King’s chilling aura.

“A debuff, huh… Wait—?”

Then, another anomaly occurs. One of the Dragon King’s wings won’t open fully.

“I see… You’re a clever one.”

The Wolf King’s attack wasn’t just the ice blades. It used the blizzard to freeze the joints of the Dragon King’s wings. The Dragon King’s massive body tilts—and the Wolf King doesn’t miss the opening.

――Wooooooooooooooooooon!!

With the Wolf King’s roar, the air itself crystallizes, forming a gigantic ice blade. Ging! Its eyes flash—and in the next instant, the massive blade strikes the Dragon King just as it’s about to unleash another fiery breath.

――Zdoooosh!!

The ice blade sinks into the Dragon King’s flesh, freezing its blood. Frost-covered scales shatter and scatter.

An ear-splitting shriek echoes as the Dragon King’s massive head crashes to the ground, its fiery whips writhing in agony.

“………………”

Silently, the Wolf King turns its back and disappears into the depths of the forest, step by heavy step.
