Chapter 40: A Little Pride
But at that moment, Cinderella suddenly frowned slightly, looked at Loki, and said slowly, "I'll leave it to you in a bit."
"Um...teacher?"
Loki was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Cinderella meant. But the next second, when Loki turned her gaze back to the red dragon, she discovered something unexpected.
The necklace hanging around the red dragon's neck swayed slightly, then suddenly snapped off with a "bang!" without warning.
"This is our Red Dragon watch..." But the host seemed completely oblivious to all of this, and continued to introduce it while holding up his hat.
"Everyone, get out of the way!" Upon discovering this, Loki quickly raised her staff, pointing it at the red dragon, and shouted, "The magical artifact binding the red dragon is broken!"
"Wh...what?!" Before anyone could react, the red dragon realized what was happening. It roared and smashed its head through the cage in front of it.
Then it opened its mouth wide and aimed it at the stunned people.
"boom!"
A ball of flame suddenly erupted without warning, heading straight for the onlookers.
"Snapped!"
But the next second, Cidline flicked her right hand, and a silver curtain of water rose up, instantly blocking the flames. Although the intense heat reached Loki's face, not a single flame escaped Cidline's magic.
"It's up to you," Cidel said slowly. "Dealing with a crippled red dragon... shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Teacher...?!" Before Loki could react, Cidlin flicked her finger, and a stream of silver water enveloped Loki and the Crimson Dragon, turning them into a gladiatorial arena with only the two of them.
As their eyes met, Luo Qixi pursed her lips and gripped her staff tightly.
The next second, the red dragon opened its mouth and spat out another mouthful of flame.
"Water dungeon!"
Without hesitation, Loki cast a rapid water prison spell on herself, while simultaneously increasing the amount of magic she poured into it. A ring of water appeared at the tip of her staff, surrounding Loki and blocking the gushing flames.
The steam waves caused Loki's blue hair to fly up and down, but it did nothing to affect the staff she was holding.
"Ice Spear Snowstorm!" As she chanted, four or five ice spears appeared around her and then spun towards the red dragon.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
The ice spear pierced the red dragon's body, causing it to let out a piercing roar, but even so, it was still difficult to kill it with an attack of this magnitude.
The next second, the red dragon roared and charged at Luo Qixi. The commotion was so great that it shook the ground, forcing Luo Qixi to quickly hold her staff horizontally.
"Earth mound".
A stone barrier rose up, blocking the path between the Crimson Dragon and Loki. Without hesitation, Loki quickly retreated a few steps to create distance.
"boom!"
Sure enough, within seconds, the stone wall was smashed by the red dragon, which swung its huge claws as if it was determined to tear the little thing to pieces.
But what greeted it was none other than Loki's magic.
A highly magically infused ice spear spun and shot out, heading straight for the red dragon's head.
"Roar!" Seeing the danger, the red dragon was not afraid at all. It opened its mouth wide and suddenly spewed out a ball of fire.
The intense heat of the flames clashed with the ice spear, causing it to melt rapidly in the blink of an eye.
But the next moment, having found a new attack position, Loki raised her staff once more.
"Ice Spear Snowstorm!"
Several more ice spears shot out, and not just a few. Loki showed no mercy with her magic, continuously pouring it into the Silver Moon Tsunami. The crystal at the tip of the staff emitted a dazzling light, and more ice spears shot out from the tip of the staff in succession.
"Boom boom boom!"
Ice spears rained down on the red dragon. Even though the damage wasn't high, the continuous attacks kept it on its toes.
Seemingly unable to withstand the continuous attacks, the Crimson Dragon roared and charged at Luo Qixi again. However, Luo Qixi flicked her right hand slightly, and a faint red thread appeared at the feet of the Crimson Dragon. This seemingly thin thread was incredibly tough, causing the Crimson Dragon to flip over and crash into the red wall surrounding it.
However, it was clear that such an impact could not shake the veil set up by Cidline, but it completely deprived the red dragon of any chance to counterattack.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Qixi accelerated her chanting, and an ice spear rapidly formed in front of her.
"May you bestow your grace, and let this eternal, unbreakable ice obey my command! Freeze! Accumulate! Transform into the sharpest ice spear! Go, in the name of the water spirits' praise, freeze the ice spear forever!"
A holy-level water magic spell, the Eternal Freeze Spear, shot out and pierced straight through the red dragon in front of him.
"boom!"
The crimson dragon's enormous body crashed down, and in the next second, the curtain of water slowly disappeared.
As the corpses of Loki and Chilong came into view, all the onlookers gasped in shock.
"Well done, Lokishi." Cinderella nodded slightly and walked to Lokishi's side, then looked at the red dragon's corpse with interest.
"You passed the surprise inspection."
"A surprise inspection?" Luo Qixi sensed something else in the teacher's words: "Was that...did you do it, teacher?"
"Hmm." Cinderella raised an eyebrow slightly and said softly, "Otherwise, why would such a coincidence happen?"
"But this..." Just as Loki was about to say something, Cinderella said calmly, "That magical artifact itself is also about to break down."
"If we don't resolve this here... we won't be here next time." Catherine's words brought a slight sigh of relief to Loki... She had almost thought her teacher was some kind of madwoman who would disregard the safety of others just to pass a test...
"Do you think I'm some crazy person who doesn't care about other people's safety?" Cinderella said, as if she had seen through Loki's thoughts.
"Um...no...no!" Luo Qixi quickly denied it; she didn't want to be punished by the teacher with copying anything again!
"That's for the best." Cinderella smiled slightly, then looked at the crowd and shouted loudly, "The one who killed this red dragon was Lokishi Migrudia from Lanoa Magic University!"
"Teacher...?!"
Cinderella's sudden action startled Loki.
"What's wrong?" Cinderella tilted her head. "Weren't you thinking about becoming famous before?"
"That...that was before, teacher!" Before Luo Qixi could finish speaking, the surrounding crowd had already begun to cheer for Luo Qixi's name.
"Luo Qixi! Luo Qixi! Luo Qixi!"
Hearing them suddenly call her name, Luo Qixi's face flushed red. She lowered her head, hooked her legs together, and hugged her staff tightly.
Seeing her like this, Catherine's lips curled up slightly.
It makes me, as a teacher, feel a little proud, at least.
