"It doesn't necessarily have to be light. As long as it's concentrated enough, just keep shining it on that bone dragon," I said.
Just by looking at the little fool's bewildered expression, you could tell she hadn't understood at all, and you had no idea how she had gotten the IUD inserted.
But she quickly raised her hand again: "However, I have another question." She paused, turned around, and saw me raise an eyebrow in acknowledgment before continuing, "My magic is almost depleted, and I might not be able to sustain the kind of combat you just mentioned, Mr. Yumi... Ah, maybe, should I try eating some of that... you know?"
I flicked her forehead and pressed down on her hand as she reached for her pocket, stopping her from having such a dangerous thought and the action that was about to become a reality.
"It seems your magic won't last long either."
Shen Xue shook her head and sighed, gradually straightening up from the slender icicle and turning towards the direction where Annie and the other had left: "If you choose to retreat now, you might still have a chance to survive."
I keenly noticed the problem in her words: "You just said 'you all'...and what about you?"
His raised, icy blue eyes burned with a fierce fervor: "As a sword, it can only be considered valuable when it is broken on the battlefield."
Her increasingly vigorous and high-spirited aura told me that she wasn't just talking.
But now is not the time to be in such a hurry.
I glanced at the shimmering air beside me, where a hunting dog quietly peeked out, its tongue lolling out as it panted happily. Its ears stood erect, and from its soft-fured back, another mottled head emerged, emitting a soft meow.
Sensing danger behind them, the two little ones used their special passage to rush back and help.
I reached out and patted their heads one by one. I thought of the gray wolves that we had let go far away earlier, and I wondered if they would meet up safely ahead, or if they would choose to wait for us there.
I hope they are all safe and sound.
However, now that two minor variables have been added, we might actually be able to accomplish this impossible task.
“First, let’s aim for the head,” I said. “Considering that this skull dragon has been searching everywhere for its head, and that its head was sealed away by those dragons in that way, it might be the most important thing to it.”
This is a reasonable speculation, but it is not guaranteed.
The best option would actually be to find the seal that had previously kept it in a silent state. However, considering the state of the surrounding land, which had been almost completely plowed, and recalling the fragmented seal formation that was revealed when it pulled its head out of the mound, we can basically abandon this idea.
No matter how profound the technique, it cannot maintain its consistent strength over a long period of time when the supporting structure is lost.
Next in line is the skull, which is the most sensitive part of this skull dragon.
While it's possible that it's searching for its own integrity, the possibility that it might be hiding in a core location cannot be ruled out.
Just now, An's sword cleaved it in two from head to tail in a swift motion. However, due to the chaos of the scene and the need to deal with the charging bone dragon legion, coupled with the fact that its body was covered by a ghostly blue flame that could almost be regarded as an indicator of magical power, we were ultimately unable to find its core.
As for An's astonished reaction just now, it silently told me that she did indeed aim the sword at the core, but failed to succeed.
This suggests that there may be more than one core that needs to be destroyed for this massive bone dragon.
Regardless of the truth, what we need to do now remains the same: split along the seams connecting the bone dragon's body, find the core, destroy the core, and completely kill it here.
As the collapsing snow gradually stopped, a gigantic entity with a distorted shape rose from it.
No longer possessing the majestic and imposing skeletal structure of a dragon, it instead uses that massive, slightly yellowed skeleton as its base, from which countless different branches extend.
A dozen or so tangled, fragmented dragon bones coiled around both sides of the spine, transforming into bony tentacles that undulated and writhed like tendrils. Countless tiny bumps protruded from the shattered skull, like a forest of bones, with one side protruding particularly sharply, their intertwined structure forming a pointed horn resembling a crown.
The bone dragon, no longer a bone dragon, slowly stood up. Its thick, forked tail plunged into the ground, and together with a dozen or so leg bones tangled together from the skeleton, it supported the weight of its massive body from behind.
The overwhelming bone wings spread out, enveloping us and it in one place. The tiny gaps were filled by the forcibly shattered bones, from which almost no light could be seen.
The eerie blue flames burning fiercely in the empty eye sockets made the remaining cracks on his face appear even more grotesque and cruel.
[Frost Sword] and the two little ones had already disappeared.
Yes, it wasn't just to release that pure light we just saw; Hikari and I were bait that stayed in place to attract its attention.
I took the girl's left hand and calmly looked at the enormous monster that was staring at us with anger.
In the academy, new students often ask this question: What should be done if a mage loses his magic in battle, but there are unique spells that can only be cast through him?
Although this situation is rare, if it does occur, the simplest solution is for a trusted companion with compatible attributes to replenish the mage's mana.
The best way to replenish mana is through physical contact.
