But if I never catch up, do not grieve for me. If you have the chance to see my Dedoldia clan in the future, tell them that I, Ghislaine, did not bring shame to the Dedoldia clan."
Then she coolly brandished her sword, let out a battle cry, and charged forward.
Whizzing sounds rang out from behind her, followed by thumping sounds on the Red Dragon ahead.
Then a Red Dragon with a diameter of 30 meters and a wingspan of 100 meters was seen falling to the ground, with explosive damage in three places: the head, the throat, and the right side of the chest. The explosion in the chest directly shredded the Red Dragon's lungs, which was the direct cause of its death.
I didn't use any fancy magic; I just used the intermediate Earth Magic Rock Cannonball (Stone Cannon) like Rudy does. This kind of armor-piercing magic has miraculous effects when attacking the high-defense Red Dragons.
After grinding the rock into the shape of a drill bit, I created more small spike-shaped rocks inside the rock, and finally launched it with rotational acceleration. It directly pierced through the Red Dragon's scale defense and exploded inside its body, with the small spike-like rocks stabbing into the flesh inside its body. It quickly destroyed its life.
It was a bit awkward, but fortunately, Ghislaine had psychological expectations of my strength. She returned to the carriage, and we continued driving.
No one mentioned Ghislaine's lines about being prepared to die heroically just now.
After all, if she could say those words, she was truly capable of giving her life for us. This time it was a Red Dragon; next time, even if it were Orsted, she wouldn't back down. So there was nothing to mock her for.
However, Eris really exploded with excitement; her admiration for me felt like it had already surpassed her admiration for Ghislaine.
She talked all along the way about how powerful that Red Dragon was and how strong my magic was. I only showed an intermediate magic and it made her this excited; if I were to show King-tier magic later, wouldn't she be over the moon?
After Ghislaine calmed her emotions, her attitude towards me also changed. Before, she might have viewed me more as someone to be protected.
Now she already regarded me as an equal or even a more powerful existence that surpassed her.
This could be seen from her proposal to spar with me. When I was studying at the Water God Style Dojo, I discovered that people with ambition never seek to spar with those weaker than themselves.
People only seek to consult and spar with those stronger than them, as that is the only way to improve faster.
However, I did not agree to Ghislaine's request for a spar. The reason was simple: my magic is currently much more powerful than my swordsmanship. My Water God Style has been stuck at the Advanced-tier for a long time, while my magic has already reached the King-tier.
The success of a match between me and her basically depends on the distance between us. If the distance is far, I can fly up and strike her; if the distance is close, I have no way to block her Light Katana. Such a spar wouldn't contribute much to one's improvement.
I also explained to her why my magic could penetrate the Red Dragon's defense; the principles were rotation and explosion. I fashioned my Rock Cannonball into a drill shape and gave it rotational momentum.
Once the cannonball hits the Red Dragon, there will be a cutting force. As long as a small section drills through the armor, the explosion inside the armor can cause massive damage to the Red Dragon.
Although such an explanation was only half-understood and difficult for Eris and Ghislaine to grasp, after I conjured a drill in my hand and demonstrated it on a rock, they both understood.
This joy of using middle school physics to bully the natives of another world is something those of you who haven't traveled to another world wouldn't understand.
After arriving in the Bihiel Kingdom, we naturally passed through Senge City. I stopped by to visit Teacher Bladiconde, but after arriving at her home, Teacher was not there.
I was received by Federico, Teacher Bladiconde's father. I learned that Teacher basically can't stay at home; she can't be lazy in front of her father, so she stays at home for a few years and then uses the excuse of traveling to find a place outside to be lazy for a few years, returning only when she misses home.
Teacher Bladiconde's father has already grown accustomed to such days, so he isn't worried about her at all. He said that this time Teacher went south. She should have arrived in the Wang Long Kingdom by now.
I hope I can have the chance to see Teacher again; after not seeing her for so many years, I still miss her a bit.
After preparing our supplies, we set out on our journey again. The subsequent route is one I have traveled several times, so I hope it will go smoothly.
