Chapter 241: 244

Chapter 244 - Summoning Ice Spirits

　I managed to stand up, using my sword as a walking stick.

　My legs are trembling in a way that made it seem like they are not strong enough.

　I must look like a newborn fawn.

　Blood is gurgling from my mouth and overflowing throughout my esophagus.

　I spit it out onto the ground to be able to breathe.

　In this state of full wounds, I saw the figure of the Undead Bone Dragon in my field of vision.

　The dragon that I had collided in a mutual attack.

　However, it did not seem to be as badly damaged as I was.

　The bones forming its skull were split vertically down the middle.

　Behind them, I could see a strange shiny black substance.

　I wondered if that was the driving force behind the undead dragon's movements.

　The cracked skull did not seem to have any effect on its movements themselves.

　However, the creature seemed to be concerned about the fact that its skull had been sliced.

　I got the impression that the thing's eyes were bloodshot even though everything was made up of bones, as if it was furious at having its head smashed off, and was looking at me with a heightened murderous intent, even higher than it had been moments ago.

　Its sharp fangs clinked in its mouth, and the bones making up its tail from behind thumped the ground with resounding clacks.

"[Ice Spirit Summoning]."

　I chanted a spell as I continued to observe the undead in front of me while casting a spell.

　This is because I must now rely on magic to win a battle where my arms will not work anymore.

　Yet, with my existing spells, I would not be able to inflict even a scratch on the creature's body.

　I needed to use a spell I recently acquired.

　[Ice Spirit Summoning].

　A while ago, Baito-nii and I invaded the Uruk Territory, successfully taking over a large chunk. We then proceeded to make the knights in the region that was captured submit, swearing allegiance to Baito-nii.

　And the mana of those knights flowed into me through my connection with nii-san, increasing my mana.

　As a result, I rose in rank.

　A rise in rank.

　That meant that I acquired a new spell.

　A spell that is even more advanced than the Fontana Family's [Ice Spear], a type of offensive attack magic.

　That spell was the [Ice Spirit Summoning].

　The moment I chanted the spell, a large amount of mana was consumed from my body to activate the magic.

　Thenceforth, a being called the "Ice Spirit" in front of my eyes.

　As the name suggests, it is a spirit of ice.

　I haven't gotten to research this yet, but it seems that there are beings called spirits in this world — the Fontana Family had created a spell that could summon such spirits.

　Like other nobles' spells, this is a Head-level spell that is beyond the abilities a knight can possess.

　Although, Fontana's Head-level magic was a little different from the Head-level spells of other noble families.

　The Uruk's [Black Flame] and the Arbalest family's [Distant Lightning].

　Both of them were fearsome spells that displayed astonishing strength.

　These flashy spells caused others to think that they could not defy nobles.

　However, the Fontana family's spell [Ice Spirit Summoning] was not like that.

　The spell's true abilities were difficult to judge.

　The [Ice Spirit Summoning] that I use and the [Ice Spirit Summoning] that Carlos, the Head of the Fontana family, uses is the same spell, but they are without doubt... different.

　To put it simply, when Carlos uses it, the [Ice Spirit Summoning] is incomparably powerful, but when I use it, it is weak.

　Why is that?

　Apparently, each spirit summoned is different depending on who the summoner is.

　The Ice Spirit that Carlos summons is a strong one, but I could only summon a weak one.

　Nonetheless, in order to resist the Undead Bone Dragon, I conjured an ice spirit.

　The moment I chanted the spell, a ball of blue-white light appeared in midair.

　The most primitive, will-less ice spirit.

　Compared to the Ice Spirit summoned by Carlos, it was too weak.

　Even so, such weakest ice spirits are increasing one after another.

　The spirits I can summon are weak.

　But they were numerous.

　Fist-sized ice spirits emitting a bluish-white light emerged one after another, floating around me.

"Freeze."

　When I saw that the number of ice nymphs exceeded 20, I uttered a single word.

　Then, the area around the spot where I was standing began to freeze.

　The ground, grass, trees — everything began to freeze, with the range expanding continuously.

　The icy world eventually reached the place where the Bone Dragon was.

"Kakakakakakan."

　Was it startled to see its surroundings freeze over, or did it not care at all?

　The Bone Dragon snapped its teeth repeatedly before starting to move toward us.

　It seemed to pay no attention to the fact that its skull had been cracked open, and once again it lunged toward me with its mouth open wide.

　The attack was simple but difficult to prevent.

　I can't even move my body to avoid it, let alone intercept it with Grand Barca.

"Ice Spear."

　But I already knew that I cannot move my body.

　That is why I used magic in the first place and even cast a spell now.

　But the [Ice Spear] I just used was different from the previous ones I had used before.

　Normally, the spell works by casting your right hand outwards, your palm facing your target, and launching a spear of ice that is the same width as the width of your arm at your opponent.

　Now, though, I was standing still with both hands gripping the Grand Barca like a cane.

　I did not move my right hand.

　And yet, the ice attack hit the dragon.

　It was in a way that caught the opponent off guard.

　The [Ice Spear] I had fired appeared from the ground.

　Reading through the movement of the Undead Bone Dragon, which was running toward me, the Ice Spears extended upward from a position just below it.

　Multiple ice spears were extending upward like sword mountains, skewering the bone dragon's body.

　Even though it was running at a high speed, it had been stopped in its tracks.

　This is the power of the ice spirits I summoned.

　One by one, they are the lowest grade of ice spirits with little power and no offensive ability, I was able to summon several of these ice spirits.

　And by freezing the surroundings using them, I could activate Ice Magic from anywhere within the range of the ice spirits, even without using my hand.

　This method has the disadvantage of consuming a large amount of mana, and cannot attack from a large distance like [Distant Lightning], and it may not be as vicious as [Black Flame], which can kill with certainty once it succeeds in being launched.

　However, depending on how it is used, [Ice Spirit Summoning] is versatile and can be applied in a variety of ways.

　That was my new spell.

"Damn, no good."

　Despite this head-level magic, it only stopped the Bone Dragon's movements.

　If the opponent hadn't been an undead made up of only bones, they would have immediately died.

　The spears looked like they had pierced the dragon, in reality, however, they had merely wedged in-between the bones.

　Not only was this attack not fatal, but it did not inflict any satisfactory damage.

　Somehow, I managed to repeat the attack, again and again, this time aiming for the stone in the skull. More specifically, into the gaps that I had previously created.

　The dragon, however, was not naive enough to allow the attacks to get through.

　It dexterously moved its bone body to guard against the ice attacks from reaching the magic stone.

　Furthermore, by swinging its tail vigorously, it even shattered the Ice Spears that had grown out of the ground to restrain it.

　Soon enough, every spear had shattered and the dragon was once again free to move about.

　It seemed as if the Undead Bone Dragon laughed.

　Immediately after that, the thing started approaching me again, trying to bite me to death.

　No good.

　No matter how high of a level spell I use, I can't beat him with just [Ice Spirit Summoning] alone.

　I need to try attacking using my blade again.

　
Grand Barca seems to be the only thing that has caused damage to my opponent so far.

　I grit my teeth and make up my mind.

　It was then.

　I was about to make my decision... when someone intervened in the battle between the Undead Bone Dragon and I.

　And that person, too, had the ability to use spirits.
