Chapter 176 - FTG Chapter 175: 'Luminance Dragon' Lichtswivsky

Dropping objects from high altitudes is a very bad behavior, as such actions pose a threat to the life and safety of others.

This is common sense in human society.

And today, Weston popularized this common sense in the world of dragons.

The collision between 'Roar of the Light Dragon' and 'Ultimate: Starfall' unleashed a massive amount of energy within the valley, devastating the earth, forests, and lake.

Looking around, one could see burning flames, charred rocks, and thick white smoke occupying over 70% of the field of vision.

Only after the vibrations in the air ceased did Weston slowly fly toward the massive figure on the ground.

He knew very well that although the impact of the meteorite was powerful, it was still far from 'Dragon Slaying.'

However, the dragon did not launch another attack after destroying the meteorite and even abandoned its geographical advantage in the air to return to the ground. This proved that the opponent had no intention of continuing the battle in the short term.

Before long, Weston arrived at the center of the dust.

The massive pale-gold figure was now covered in gray dust and grime, looking as though it had rolled on the ground several times.

Seeing Weston approach, the dragon made no attempt to hide the fury in its chest.

"That hurts..."

"Stinking brat, you really know how to play!"

"A meteorite crashes down, and the bath I just took was for nothing!"

Hearing this, Weston glanced at the nearby lake out of the corner of his eye and pointed: "If you don't mind, you could take a soak in a hot spring and have some poached fish while you're at it!"

Since a large number of burning meteorite fragments had fallen into the lake, the water was now steaming hot. Many fish that originally lived in the lake had been cooked through, floating on the surface with their bellies up, emitting a faint aroma of fish.

The dragon fell silent for two seconds: "..."

"Are you an idiot?"

"Who would eat poached fish made from their own bathwater?!!"

The focus was actually on that?!

It felt like this dragon's IQ wasn't particularly high...

"I am the Master of the Magic Guild Fairy Tail, Weston Lagrange!"

"Dragon, state your name at once!"

The dragon gave a cold snort: "A mere human is not worthy of knowing my name!"

"Then let's keep fighting!"

Weston gave an "oh" and made a move as if to continue the assault.

"Wait a minute!!"

The dragon suddenly let out a loud shout, interrupting Weston's movement. After a few moments of contemplation, it suddenly asked a question.

"Ordinary magic shouldn't be able to cause damage to my body."

"Human brat, you were using Dragon Slayer Magic just now, weren't you?"

Of course not!

The 'Dragon Slayer Seal' is not traditional Dragon Slayer Magic, but a magic formed by combining 'Enchantment Magic' and 'Dragon Slayer Magic.' The difficulty of learning and using it is extremely high; if one has not come into contact with both types of magic simultaneously, it cannot be performed.

In Weston's view, the Enchantment Magic move Wendy used in the original 100 Years Quest was very likely something she created herself.

This was because he had not found any relevant data in past history or in the Super Archive's magic database of predecessors.

From this, it could be inferred that in the 300-plus years since Dragon Slayer Magic was created, there has likely not been a single Wizard who has encountered both types of magic at once.

If it weren't for Weston learning a bit of Enchantment Magic through the Super Archive, having interacted with Elefseria—a veteran Dragon Slayer Wizard—in the past, and obtaining the concept of the 'Dragon Slayer Seal' from the original work, he wouldn't have been able to successfully combine the two.

However, at this moment, Weston couldn't be bothered to explain the intricacies to the dragon.

"Pretty much!"

The dragon fell silent again upon hearing this, muttering: "On this continent, in this era, there are actually still Wizards who have mastered Dragon Slayer Magic... Dammit!!"

"Actually, there's no harm in telling you my name, but after you know it, can you leave this place?"

"Hmm? I'll consider it!"

"Then... ahem... I am the 'Luminance Dragon', Lichtswivsky!"

Even when facing a Dragon Slayer Wizard, a dragon is not at an absolute disadvantage, so it actually didn't need to pay heed to Weston's question.

But if a Dragon Slayer Wizard were linked to Ishgar, it had to be cautious.

After all, Acnologia had appeared here many years ago and killed almost every dragon.

No one could guarantee whether a second similar existence would emerge.

It was just giving a name anyway—no big deal!

Besides, since the human had introduced himself, if the dragon didn't return the courtesy, wouldn't it damage the grace of the Dragon Race?!

Could it be that the grand 'Luminance Dragon' Lichtswivsky was actually afraid of a mere human?

"Luminance Dragon?"

"That title... sounds a bit familiar..."

Come to think of it, among the eight Dragon Slayer Lacrimas of 'God' Serena in the original work, wasn't there one like this?

Hmm...

If that Luminance Dragon is this Luminance Dragon, then even if this guy doesn't die here, he won't live long in the future!

"You mentioned 'this continent' just now, right?"

"Does that mean you aren't a dragon from Ishgar?"

Lichtswivsky raised its head proudly: "I am indeed not a dragon from Ishgar, but from the northern continent, Guiltina!"

As expected...

In this era, only the northern continent still has a few dragons remaining.

Weston continued to ask: "Then why are you slaughtering humans here?!"

"Hey, hey, hey... don't go slandering a good dragon!"

"I didn't take the initiative to kill those people; they attacked me first, and I only retaliated defensively!"

Lichtswivsky spoke of the events as it recalled its past.

"In your Ishgar, dragons have been gone for over 300 years, right?"

"But unlike this peaceful continent, the dragons of Guiltina have never disappeared."

"Naturally, the war between humans and dragons has never ceased."

"The long-standing war and the hatred accumulated over generations have trapped the humans and dragons of the northern continent in an endless cycle of revenge."

"But many dragons and humans grew tired of all this and eventually chose to leave."

At this point, Weston understood the reason it came to Ishgar: "So you came here to live in seclusion?"

"You could put it that way."

The Luminance Dragon said in a deep voice: "I was having a nice afternoon nap here, but then those people suddenly barged in and launched an attack on me. Naturally, I had to fight back!"

The relationship between humans and dragons on the northern continent is even more severe than that between humans themselves; the two sides are almost entirely opposing forces.

If the situation was truly as it said—that the Council's search party struck first—then it really couldn't be blamed for the killing...

"Speaking of which, knowing full well that Acnologia is in Ishgar, you still dared to run here for seclusion?!"

"You fellow... you really aren't afraid of death!"
