The Magus of Genesis

"Eye!"

Calling my name like a scream, I blow a flame trying to melt that ice.

But the ice dissolved even in the exhalation of the dragon, but became even larger and column-like crystals, enveloping the eye.

"Ho, ho, ho"

JackFrost makes a laughing noise and flies a little.

Its round body fluttered and the snowman fled as if slipping through the air.

"Oh, wait!

After that, D'Arga follows. If Jack Frost is going to fly and run, maybe I should have chased him the best I could fly through the sky.

But I couldn't afford to make such a calm decision.

"Eye, eye! Damn......... what can I do!

No matter how much breath you breathe, the columns of ice don't melt.

"Doctor, get out of the way!

Ken, who completed the spell, hit the eye with a large, swollen mass of flame.

I manage to swallow the phrase, "What are you going to do if I burn you?"

But that was a pointless worry.

Because Ken's magic did not produce a single droplet on the surface, rather than melting ice.

"Reddish than my scales………………"

"Calm down, sweetheart."

If this happens, I'll have to use a spell. Nina pulled my tail when she thought about it and started chanting.

"Well, it'll melt in the boulder, but the eye will die."

"But not like this...!

There's no way you can cover your whole body with ice and breathe.

Indeed, asphyxiation should cause brain damage and sequelae if oxygen is not supplied within five minutes. I don't have time for a mottle at all.

"Maybe if we keep this up, we'll be fine. It's in the same condition that the tree is dropping its branches."

But in contrast to me in a hurry, Nina was hatefully calm.

"... you mean you're hibernating?

"So-so, that. TOUMIN. At least, because there's no such thing as dying right away"

To Nina's words and usual floating attitude, I manage to regain my composure.

"But how do you know that?

"Huh? You'll see, won't you?

... Apparently, I'll need to hear more from Nina later.

"That said, I'm not going to wait for spring like this. How the hell do you think this ice would melt?

"Defeat the guy just now and he'll melt on his own."

Probably, I had a feeling too.

You're right to say that's all I can think of.

"When I say I'm going to take it down, I'm not going to die if I turn it off without a trace. What can I do………………"

"Why don't you just burn it again and again until you die?

"……… Is it such a simple problem?"

Snow, in short, is frozen water. The water just becomes gaseous even if it evaporates, and it doesn't disappear. It would also be because of the infinite playback of JackFrost.

What the hell am I supposed to do if I crushed it and cut it open, and the flames are not working?

"Damn, I'm sorry, brother! I lost him!

When I was worried, Dalga came back out of breath.

"Until I went out of the woods, I knew..."

This village is surrounded by woods on all sides.

Would it be more right to cut through the woods and make them rather than say so?

A vast meadow extends further outside the forest.

"…… This is troublesome."

Forests and meadows make it easier to hide in the woods, no matter what you think.

But that common sense didn't work between us.

Because we have the incarnation of the forest, the sons of the trees, Nina.

Climb on the trees, hide in the bushes, dive in the earth, but if it is in the woods, it is close to the palm of Nina's hand.

But when it comes to searching for vast meadows, I can't count on her power.

Even if we look from the sky, it would still be almost hopeless in the middle of the night.

The primitive nights are terribly deep and dark, and I can't see one from above.

"We'll have to wait for the morning. I'm watching the eye, so go to sleep."

"However…….."

In the morning, it doesn't mean Jack Frost is still in the meadows.

No, it's not weird that he's already gone farther.

I didn't do anything to make sure I could sleep well in this situation.

"Are you sure you're not in the woods? Then you're the only one who could possibly look for it. I'll beat you up when the sun comes up, so get some sleep and keep your strength warm."

Nina is right enough not to make a sound.

But there was absolutely no desire to follow it.

I stare at Eye trapped in the ice pillar.

With her arms extended left and right, she is closing her eyes as if she were a Christ sentenced to imprisonment. That's when she took refuge in me. It seems very unlikely that I can put her down and sleep.

Nevertheless, I also know that Nina is right.

There's nothing more than a clue.

"…… there is."

Unexpectedly, I realized.

"Something as hard as a rock, but as clear as a wind. As cold as a shadow, but as dazzling as light, thou, fruit of water. Listen to my voice and reflect on its face what you are the Lord......!

That's the ice column that's freezing my eyes.

The ice that won't dissolve even in my flames can't just have cooled the moisture, it's obviously made of magic. That means you have a strong link to JackFrost. You can call it part of the jackfrost.

As I once sent my voice to D'Arga through my scales, there are magical ties to what was once one. It's the hair and nails that you bury in the ugly straw doll, or the second button in the uniform that the person you like wears. That's what I call a curse.

Magic basically cannot be applied to things that are invisible. Because magic requires recognition, and you can't recognize what you can't see.

But if it's something to do with the curse, you can magically interfere even if you're not blind. Nina can monitor all this wide forest also because the forest trees are a curse to her.

"I saw it!

This was my first time treating magic itself as a curse, but I succeeded in detecting it. What was reflected on the surface of the ice column was the appearance of Jackfrost climbing the mountain. The fact that it is a mountain further south through the meadow has been conveyed to me to take it.

"Nina, take this."

I take one off the scale and hand it to Nina.

"You know how to do this, don't you? Tell me where he is."

Until I catch up, it's not like JackFrost is taking care of me. We need someone to keep following his trends here. Nina would make it as easy as I do.

"……… Okay."

Confirm her snort, and I spread my wings wide.

"Wait!

That's what Ken called it.

"Doctor, take me with you!

To Ken's words, I cruise for a moment.

Not because he's against me.

Sure, he's a powerful wizard, but because he has very little experience in action.

On the other hand, although D'Arga can only use physical strengthening, its power is immense.

Above all, I am used to the act of fighting.

I'm only about three meters tall when it comes to dragons.

Either one of us can get on it.

On the mountain I can wield my powers without worrying so much about the damage around me, and mine is a lot higher than Ken's, given the power of the flames alone. I feel D'Arga would be better off if I were to take him.

"Ken, I'm sorry…………………"

"Brother, take the boy."

But unexpectedly, D'Arga himself gave Ken a lifeboat.

"I'll only be able to pin it down. That son of a bitch would be more helpful than me."

"Osama......"

"You're not that old away. Call me brother."

They fist together lightly, and ni laugh at each other.

I was just a little jealous between the two of us having a good relationship.

The villagers respect me, even if they are close to me. But again, I wasn't a person, there was a certain distance there.

Nina is the only one who treats me regardless.

That said, it's not even if you're saying that.

"Okay. Hold on tight, Ken!

"Oops!"

With Ken on his back, I jumped up into the night sky all at once.

"Ugh, wow, ah......!

On my back, Ken screams.

"Wow............!

Apparently that was more of an exclamation than a scream.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I've flown with him on board.

Nina and Ai are the only wizards who can fly, and this must be the first time they've seen a sight so high.

"... this is the view the teacher always sees..."

Ken said that in a pompous way.

"I can't see a view or anything."

The night sky is clear and dark.

The moon I had just seen was completely hidden in the shadows of the clouds, so I really can't see anything. Hardly, I just found out that the black shadow obsessed with the lower part would be the surface.

I aim in the direction of the mountain, being highly careful not to crash.

Then there was a blur and something floating in the dark sky.

On a night like this, things that appear above the sky are not like that.

I blink several times wondering if I saw it wrong and stare into the darkness.

It appeared in the darkness.

It was D'Arga's, succeeded, ass.

"Buh."

Too much, I blow flames by accident.

"Mm-hmm. Looks like it went well."

At the same time, Nina's voice was heard.

"Nina, what is this? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

D'Arga's ass in front of me keeps sitting there, flying away from me.

I have absolutely nothing to think of D'Arga, but honestly, I felt very bad about it.

"It stinks a lot to explain it with your mouth. So I'm showing you what I'm looking at."

D'Arga's ass disappeared from sight, and the next thing that came out was a do-up of Eye's chest.

"What are you looking at... how?

"Come on. I tried and I could do it."

Because this is this genius!!

"So, this. The guy just now............ '

Then a finger appeared. Maybe it's Nina's own finger watching.

"I'm Over The Mountain"

"……… stop comparing with your chest"

Nina pointed to the pinnacle of Eye's rich swelling.

"It's not easy to understand."

Though it is certainly very easy to understand.

Or Nina, isn't it too much staring at Eye's chest?

If the phantom in front of me is what she sees, I almost only see her breasts...

"Anyway, thanks. I know where we're headed."

'It doesn't seem to be working right now, so keep moving. It's okay. I'll let you know when it moves.'

At the end of the day, the phantom broke.

"Doctor, isn't that it?

Unexpectedly, Ken raises his voice.

"What's that?

"Here. That's it."

Apparently he's pointing somewhere, but he can't even turn around and look at those fingers. But there's still a lot of distance to the mountain.

With so much blurring and mountain contour in sight, I didn't think I could find a jackfrost from this distance.

"Which one are you talking about?

"So even that one! Can't you see?

Because I have been there before, I have grasped the distance to the mountain accurately.

If it made a big move from there, Nina must have contacted me.

"Look, you're so close!

"Get close, Ken. I'm flying pretty fast, aren't I? If you were close, you'd have gotten over it."

There's nothing to compare, and I can magically protect it from strong winds on my back. I guess I had the illusion that it was flying slowly because of that state of affairs, but it should actually be out at five or six hundred kilometers an hour.

"But all the way over there..."

"Right now, there's only a mountain in front of me…………"

We whispered at the same time.

Because I've noticed.

Where we are and where we are wrong with each other's perceptions.

And Nina was misinformed.

Jack Frost is not on the mountain.

One of the two mountains in line was Jack Frost.
