The Red Mirror Dragon Affair Was Over

The Red Mirror Dragon spewed out two mouthfuls of flame, turning the entire valley into Sea of Fire.

But shortly after the second burst of flames, the Red Mirror Dragon's mouth was struck hard by a sword.

That sword strike was so brutal that it cracked its teeth, and naturally, it could no longer spew flames.

The flames didn't extinguish themselves; they flared back into the Red Mirror Dragon's throat, burning its fire-breathing organs.

At this moment, the Red Mirror Dragon's neck had Self-Healing. It brandished its claws, tail, and wings, attacking Shazo frantically, and tried to fly away using its ability to escape.

After several months of contact, the Red Mirror Dragon had become very familiar with Shazo, but Shazo was clearly even more familiar with it.

Before the red dragon could even unfurl its wings, Shazo had already unleashed a chilling Sword Qi.

The silver Sword Qi struck the Root of the dragon's wings just as they opened, severing the tendons of the dragon's wings while the muscles were relaxed.

The sudden rupture of the tendon caused the muscles to snap back instantly, causing the Red Mirror Dragon's chest to swell violently, and then it could never shrink back down.

It screamed in agony, but its screams were unusually hoarse.

Because the Red Mirror Dragon's throat has not yet Self-Healing, and the magical dragonfire-spraying organ is injured, it is far less likely to recover than bones.

Injuries caused by tendon rupture are also difficult to Self-Healing own.

Skeletal muscles cannot relax on their own; they require the corresponding skeletal muscles to exert force in order for them to relax.

The Red Mirror Dragon first transforms skeletal muscles into peristaltic circular muscles, connects the tendons to complete the healing process, and then reverts the muscle type back to its original state.

In the heat of battle, how could Shazo allow it to perform such obvious Self-Healing?

Not only was it not allowed, but it also took the opportunity to unleash its Sword Qi, severing more tendons and putting the Red Mirror Dragon in an even more passive position, forcing it to mobilize its magic power to control its body and fight against Shazo instead of its muscles.

At this point, the Red Mirror Dragon's magical combat abilities were completely destroyed, turning it into a purely melee monster.

Seeing that the time was right, Frieren shouted, "Go!"

She and Frieren charged towards the Red Mirror Dragon, unleashing a hail of potion-infused arrows.

Frieren's magic power and magical skills far surpassed Frieren's; with just a simple trick of compressing and releasing magic, she tore a huge gash in the Red Mirror Dragon's tail.

Moreover, before tearing the wound open, she cut off the Red Mirror Dragon's magical Flow, causing its tail to escape its control and obediently fall to the ground.

Frieren dared not delay, using magic to control the medicinal arrows, quickly pouring them into the wound, and then casting [Red Mirror Dragon Weakening]

[Guardian Magic], using one unit of magical power to amplify the potion's magical effects a hundredfold.

In an instant, bacteria constructed purely of magic penetrated deep into the Red Mirror Dragon's body, triggering a conflict between its Demon Race and dragon immune systems.

Frieren tested the effect, nodded, and said, "It works! But time is limited, let's speed things up!"

Frieren's face flushed with excitement as she happily replied, "Yes! Great-Grandmaster Serie!"

So the two elves worked together and, in just 20 minutes, opened 15 wounds on the Red Mirror Dragon's tail, injected large amounts of magical potions into each wound, and used the [Red Mirror Dragon-Weakening Bacteria Magic] to create an invasion of magical bacteria.

As magical bacteria continued to invade, the Red Mirror Dragon's complex immune system became overwhelmed, managing to eliminate only the bacteria from the first wound.

Frieren was overjoyed. "Grandmaster, the effect is even better than we expected. We only need to treat the first five wounds once, and then we can transfer to the dragon's body."

Frieren nodded, then shook her head. "Adding five more is no problem, but we can't go straight for the dragon's body. After we've dealt with the tail, we'll start with the limbs, and finally the dragon's body."

As she spoke, she took action, severing the magical connection between the Red Mirror Dragon's left hind leg and its body, rendering it paralyzed.

As Frieren reopened her wound, Frieren injected the medicinal arrow into the Red Mirror Dragon's body, immediately activating the [Red Mirror Dragon-Weakening Bacteria Magic].

Frieren and Frieren worked together and completed the bacterial injection into the left hind leg in just ten minutes.

Then they repaired the wound on the tail, allowing another bacterial invasion.

Next, we worked on the right hind leg, then the left foreleg, and then replenished the bacteria in the left hind leg.

Under Shazo's attack, the Red Mirror Dragon was unable to mount any effective resistance and could not interfere with the work of the two elven Mage.

However, this repeated process still consumed a lot of time, and it wasn't until two hours later that they were finally able to work on the dragon's body.

At this point, the Red Mirror Dragon's immune system was already overwhelmed, causing the dragon monster's body temperature to rise sharply, and all its scales stood up to enhance its heat dissipation ability.

This allows the two elves to avoid tearing open their wounds before launching an attack.

They used [Arrow Control Magic] to manipulate the potion arrows, shooting them directly into the skin beneath the scales and into the Red Mirror Dragon's body.

The explosion of body temperature and loss of bodily control made the Red Mirror Dragon feel the threat of death for the first time. It completely lost its remaining rationality and became a purely instinctive creature.

The Red Mirror Dragon was paralyzed, its bones were broken, and its throat had even been Shazo, leaving it without any means of attack.

Who would have thought that it would use itself as a crossbow and its blood as arrows, unleashing magical power in a way that went beyond self-harm, launching its blood to attack the two elven Mage.

This is a classic case of first inflicting 10,000 damage on yourself, and then pursuing the goal of inflicting 800 damage on the enemy.

No rational or intelligent creature would do that, nor would any animal that truly survives by instinct.

This is the self-destructive tendency unique to monsters; all their actions prioritize killing the enemy rather than their own survival.

However, it must be said that Red Mirror Dragon's actions, though accidental, turned out to be the most correct course of action.

The loss of a large amount of blood actually reduced the concentration of magical bacteria in the Red Mirror Dragon's body, lowered its blood pressure, and slowed down the outbreak of its immune system.

Surprisingly, after the outburst, the Red Mirror Dragon recovered a great deal of its power, and even regained some of its thinking ability.

But Shazo didn't panic, nor did Frieren and Frieren.

Although no one expected the Red Mirror Dragon to retaliate in this way, they had anticipated potential problems and had already taken sufficient precautions.

Frieren looked at the large amount of potion mixed in with the dragon blood and felt a deep sense of regret, but Shazo and Frieren were overjoyed.

They both shouted at the same time, "Frieren, follow me! / Frieren, attack the bleeding wound!"

Yes, the Red Mirror Dragon unleashed a large amount of potion in its counterattack, but at the same time, it actively opened up its body's channels, exposing its entire body to the attack.

Frieren and Frieren joined forces and launched the remaining potion arrows at both sides of the Red Mirror Dragon's body, piercing directly through the bleeding holes and injecting them into its body.

This time, the magic potions that the Magic Guild painstakingly crafted over several months were all used up.

Frieren spread her arms wide, channeled all her magic power, and used the [Red Mirror Dragon-Weakening Bacteria Magic] with all her might to attack the Red Mirror Dragon's head.

Of all pathogens and viruses, those that directly attack the head and brain are the most vicious, such as rabies.

Frieren's magic was extremely powerful, directly penetrating the Red Mirror Dragon's magic resistance and magic defense, creating a brain herniation in the dragon's head, plunging its mind into absolute chaos, and even causing it to lose its instincts.

Although Frieren's magic only lasted for a dozen seconds before being interrupted due to insufficient magic power, her goal had been perfectly achieved.

"All done!" Frieren shouted with a grin, "Run!"

She hugged her grand-disciple, cast an [Agility Enhancement Magic on them, and slipped away as fast as she could.

Shazo didn't run away immediately, but continued to suppress the increasingly ferocious Red Mirror Dragon, whose control was gradually becoming unsustainable.

"We can't afford to lose control, we absolutely can't lose control. If we accidentally shatter the Red Mirror Dragon, it might completely break free of the [Red Mirror Dragon-Weakening Bacteria Magic], and we'll have to do it all over again."

Once Frieren and Frieren had run far enough away, Shazo released the Red Mirror Dragon.

At this moment, the Red Mirror Dragon, whose body had basically Self-Healing, aimed at Shazo, opened its mouth, and spat out a ball of flame with maximum power.

Because the magic was compressed to its limit, the flames took on Liao Kong blue-white hue, indicating that the temperature had reached an astonishing level.

Shazo, who had intended to leave, was drawn by the flames and couldn't help but stop, his hands itching to raise the broad, blunt greatsword in his hand.

Shazo seemingly casually swung his greatsword, extinguishing the oncoming flames with the wind of his sword. Then, his immense magical power revealed the terrifying Sword Qi.

This Sword Qi was similar to the Five Elements and its scale was quite ordinary. However, it was Shazo's real way of killing people. It was completely different from the skillful Sword Qi used to open the sky with a sword. Fortunately, Shazo had not lost his mind. At the last moment, he slightly deflected the Sword Qi, which flew past the Red Mirror Dragon's body and cut a huge crack in the mountain behind it.

Rumble

The continuous tremors indicated that the Sword Qi had not stopped after splitting the mountain peak, but continued forward, cutting through countless mountain ranges.

Such an attack would be enough to slice the Red Mirror Dragon Red Mirror Dragon two, or even cut it into mincemeat, but still not enough to kill it.

It is the most bizarre combination of dragons and Demon Race; its flesh and blood wriggle and fuse like Slime.

No matter how you hack and burn it, you can't kill the Red Mirror Dragon completely. It will only keep resurrecting and become increasingly difficult to kill with each resurrection.

"Hmph, once you completely lose this bug-like Self-Healing ability, I'll definitely come and chop you into mincemeat!"

Having vented his fighting spirit with this sword strike, Shazo reluctantly sheathed his bladeless greatsword and turned to chase after Frieren and Frieren.

Two days later, after repeated verification, Frieren and Frieren finally confirmed that the Red Mirror Dragon was unable to expel the magical bacteria from its body.

Even the dual-race immune system quieted down, clearly having given up on eliminating the bacteria and instead choosing to coexist peacefully with the magical bacteria.

The magical bacteria's erosion of the Red Mirror Dragon has already begun. Although nothing will be visible for the next hundred years, Frieren is very certain that once the incubation period of a hundred years passes, a huge change will occur.

Frieren breathed a long sigh of relief, and the last bit of obsession in her heart dissipated.

She smiled and praised Frieren, "Well done! Frieren, you've helped me out of a worry."

"No, this is a source of worry for Shazo and me."

"The Red Mirror Dragon once attacked the Elf Village, killing many elves, and even eating quite a few."

"But we were unable to kill it, and could only let it roam freely in the Riker Canyon in the central part of the continent, which makes us uneasy every time we think about it."

Frieren blushed and said, "No, you're welcome. It's what I should do. I'm an elf too."

Shazo also reached out and patted her head. "Like Frieren, I also have to say thank you, little Frieren."

Frieren said leisurely, "I'm already very curious. What changes will occur to the Red Mirror Dragon after the magical bacteria outbreak?"

Shazo recalled the Red Mirror Dragon from his memories, comparing it to the enormous monster of today, and said, "When the magical bacteria erupt, the Red Mirror Dragon's scales will lose their smoothness, becoming blurry and indistinct, and their hardness will greatly decrease. It will be easy to cleave through with just a casual sword strike."

"Its size will continue to shrink, perhaps to only a quarter of its current size, or even smaller."

"Most importantly, the Red Mirror Dragon will lose its immortality and become a powerful but ordinary monster that can be killed."

"The only problem is that its magic resistance might become stronger, and if you want to solve it, you'll need to find a..."

A powerful enough warrior will deliver the final blow.

Frieren laughed and said, "Are you planning to volunteer yourself?"

Shazo shook his head and said, "I've already seen the Red Mirror Dragon's final fate, so I don't have any particular thoughts about it anymore."

"Let future soldiers handle it."

Frieren said with a sense of empathy, "Hey, you know what, I also feel that after the obsession in my heart disappeared, I no longer have the slightest desire to kill it."

She looked at her grand-apprentice. "Frieren, how about I entrust the task of taking down this silly dragon to you?"

Frieren, who was basking in the glory of her success, was taken aback by what she heard. "Me?"

Frieren confirmed, "Yes, it's you. When you remember it in the future, just kill it while you're at it."

Frieren agreed, "Oh, okay, I'll remember that."

In fact, under Shazo's guidance, the Little Elf had already discovered, through self-reflection, that he did not enjoy killing.

Aside from the Demon Race who represent absolute evil, she harbors no hostility towards any living being.

The Red Mirror Dragon attracted Frieren's attention not primarily because it was a half-demon, but because of its immortality.

Now that this problem has been solved, Frieren's interest in the Red Mirror Dragon has greatly diminished.

However, Great-Grandmaster Serie said, this giant dragon monster is also a monster, and it keeps attacking elves and humans, making it a truly despicable monster.

So Frieren agreed and decided to deal with it a thousand years later.
