715  Someone Is Pissed

“Come visit us again when you have the time.” Seff patted Ethan’s shoulder. “You are always welcome here.”

“Thank you, Father,” Ethan replied. "I'll visit when I have time."

“Ethan, please take care of Lily,” Leah said. “I trust you.”

“I will, Mother. I promise,” Ethan nodded. "I'll do my best to make her happy."

After Ethan said his goodbyes, Lily stepped forward to hug her father and mother.

The Beast King’s family were all there to send them off, and even Lyall was acting normally in front of her family.

“Make sure to kill those Progenitors soon,” Lyall said as she whispered seductively in Ethan’s ears. “If you do, I’ll give you a reward.”

Ethan ignored Lily’s sister. Although she said it was a reward, it was very suspicious if it came from her.

Even so, he didn’t mind her hugging him from behind as he bid goodbye to Conall and Lily’s other brothers and sisters.

Half an hour later, the group of four flew towards the sky riding their flying brooms.

Lily was riding on Ethan’s Wind Rider, while Emma and Nicole flanked his left and right sides.

It would take them a week to reach the academy according to their calculations.

They didn’t intend to rush their journey and decided to travel at a decent pace.

Since Ethan could embed his Magic Tree House into any tree, they didn’t have to worry about their lodgings and accommodations.

Because of this, they didn’t have to worry about camping outside or exposing themselves to the elements.

Traveling as a group also removed the boredom of the journey, allowing them to enjoy it more.

After a few days of flying, they finally passed the border of Southshire and entered the lands of Eastshire.

Since there were Teleportation Gates available in the Major Cities, Ethan and his entourage took advantage of that to speed up their travel time.

Everything was going smoothly until something unexpected happened on the fifth day of their journey.

Their group encountered an Elder Dragon, who decided that it would eat them for lunch.

“This dragon looks familiar,” Ethan said as he looked at the Dragon headed in their direction.

“What do we do?” Emma asked. “Should we avoid or fight it?”

“We’ll fight it, of course,” Nicole smiled evilly. “I haven’t fought a dragon in a while.”

Without even waiting for anyone else’s opinion, Nicole charged ahead and raised her hand.

“Come out, Snowflake,” Nicole ordered.

A magic circle appeared above her head, and her Ice Dragon descended from it.

Seeing that one of its kind had appeared to fight it, the Red Dragon roared in anger and unleashed a Dragon’s Breath towards the smaller Ice Dragon.

Snowflake dodged it before unleashing her own Icy Breath at her opponent, who had given her a warm greeting.

The Elder Dragon was a veteran in battles, so it easily evaded Snowflake’s attack.

Nicole and Emma bombarded the Elder Dragon with elemental spells, but their attacks did very little, if there was even any, damage to its dragon scales.

Ethan didn’t join the fight and simply observed the battle.

He had already recognized the Elder Dragon as the same Dragon that flew beside the Brynhildr Express when Ethan left his hometown for the first time.

“Are you sure you’re not going to help them?” Lily asked. “Dragons are very resistant to magic and physical attacks.”

“There’s no need for that,” Ethan replied. “Emma and Nicole can handle it.”

This was Emma’s first time fighting against an Elder Dragon, so Ethan wanted to give her a chance to experience it first hand.

Nicole had already defeated an Elder Ice Dragon, so he was confident that she would be able to defeat the Elder Red Dragon again, but this time with the help of her Ice Dragon, Snowflake.

Seeing that her offensive spells weren’t working, Emma shifted to using debuffs against the Elder Dragon, and buffing Nicole and Snowflake, acting as their support.

Nicole, on the other hand, continued to use her Ice Spells, infuriating the Red Dragon very much.

Snowflake might not be an Elder Dragon, but she had great potential.

In terms of battle experience, she wouldn’t be able to hold a candle against their enemy.

However, she wasn’t fighting alone.

Her Master, Nicole was with her, and together, they were able to push back the Elder Red Dragon as they bombarded it with countless icicles.

With Emma’s support, they were slowly but surely dealing significant injury to their target.

Ethan sensed several Witches and Wizards, perhaps attracted by the commotion, flying in their direction to spectate the battle.

Some of them were of the same age as them, which made Ethan believe that they were also students of Brynhildr Academy who were also traveling to the academy.

The few adults who had come to see what was going on stared in shock as the two young ladies and the Ice Dragon tag-teamed to fight the local bully of Eastshire.

As the battle went on, the Red Elder Dragon was getting more and more pissed, making it roar in anger.

“Someone is pissed.” Lily chuckled.

“You might not believe this, but Nicole hasn’t used her full powers yet,” Ethan commented. “Emma is also holding back her trump cards.”

Since Emma was his Promised One, Ethan knew full well what she was capable of doing.

Nicole, on the other hand, had frozen an Elder Ice Dragon, who was supposed to be nearly immune to Ice Magic.

In his eyes, the two ladies and the Ice Dragon were just playing with the Elder Red Dragon, which was getting grumpier as time went on.

Perhaps knowing that fighting against the three would end in its defeat, the Elder Red Dragon turned around and retreated as fast as it could.

But Nicole had no intentions of letting it escape.

“Let’s go, Snowflake!”

“Yes!”

The two sped away to catch up to the Red Elder Dragon, and Emma followed behind them.

It was very rare for her to fight against something, so she was in the mood to show her skills to her Master.

“Let’s follow them,” Lily suggested.

“Of course we’ll follow them,” Ethan replied and urged his Wind Dancer to catch up to the two ladies, who were adamant to finish the battle that the Dragon started.
