"Plan..."
Novi looked at Rosmote, fell silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head.
"To be honest, I think killing that dragon with our strength is almost impossible."
"Its defenses are far too strong. Whether magic or weapons, if it wants to escape, there's no way we can stop it."
"But..."
As Novi spoke, she turned around and looked toward the figure still coiled atop the World Gate.
At that moment, everyone followed Novi's gaze.
Rosmote slowly said:
"Is it guarding the World Gate? This dragon seems unusually persistent."
Novi's expression darkened slightly at that. She nodded and replied:
"Yeah. It's a very troublesome situation."
"The most important thing now is to destroy the World Gate and prevent the situation from worsening!"
The dragons of the Dragon Abuse Realm did not reject the appearance of World Gates.
As creatures at the top of the food chain, dragons instead welcomed these things that could provide them with an endless supply of food.
So, under normal circumstances, they would choose to protect the World Gate until it stabilized.
"...That's how it is."
Nearby, Moss was listening to Ischa explain some basic knowledge about dragons.
She nodded with an enlightened look, and a hint of understanding appeared in her heart as her eyebrows lifted slightly.
'Just as I thought... Although I had vaguely guessed the relationship between dragons and World Gates from the beginning, it seems I could only truly understand it after experiencing it firsthand.'
Illusions were, in the end, simply a means of changing a living creature's subjective consciousness.
Whether temporary or permanent, they could all be considered illusions.
The "illusion" Moss had cast on Fagaliir earlier had actually strengthened its consciousness of guarding the World Gate.
If Fagaliir had not originally held such a belief, it might have
