The story of the black silk female knight

“Miss Melody told me yesterday that men have the least patience… Many loving couples have gotten into trouble because they couldn’t bear the loneliness, so we absolutely cannot be patient! I must keep a firm grip on Luca’s every bit of energy!”

"But... if Luca overworks himself, it will damage his health, won't it?"

Valensa urged her again.

"Luca is injured? He's fine now~~"

As a result, Asaki became even less concerned, and even puffed out her chest with a smile:

"Miss Valensa, have you forgotten that I am a priestess specializing in healing magic? If Luca gets injured because of me, I can heal him again."

"Ah... alright, you won, whatever makes you happy."

Valensa was completely speechless and could only sigh:

"So what exactly do you want me to do?"

"That's how it is..."

Asaki glanced around again and lowered her voice:

"I just overheard the workers saying that some dishes can help men quickly restore their energy? Miss Valencia, you're such a great cook, could you teach me a few easy recipes?"

"Oh, this is what you mean... That's easy."

Valensa smiled and took out paper and pen from her magical storage pouch. She wrote down the names of some ingredients with restorative properties, such as deer antler, goji berries, and oysters, and handed them to Asashi:

"That's about it... The method is very simple, just boil water and put everything together to stew."

"Thank you, Miss Valencia!"

Asahi immediately and happily put the paper away, and glanced at Luca again.

As it turned out, Luca was also looking at Asaki, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Asaki bit her lip.

She could tell that although Luca's gaze was still empty and vacant, it had a strange excitement about it compared to the morning.

This excitement was different from the excitement they felt when they were intimate in the tent last night; it was the same excitement they felt yesterday afternoon when they saw Melody hooking her arm around Asaki's shoulder.

Could it be that Luca really...

Asaki's feelings were very complicated.

Well, let's give it a try. Maybe it can help Luca regain his energy?

Thinking this, Asashi suddenly hugged Valensa's arm, feigning shyness, as if she had been flirted with by Valensa:

"Thank you so much, Miss Valensa!"

???

Valensa was a little confused, wondering what Asaki was up to this time.

Asahi pretended to lean on Valensa's shoulder, taking the opportunity to steal another glance at Luca.

Sure enough, Luca's eyes lit up even more, and his energy, which had been completely depleted last night, seemed to have been restored somewhat by seeing something good.

Chapter 117 The Arrival of the Fat Man

Following Asahi's gaze, Valensa naturally noticed Luca's unusual behavior as well.

She was initially at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

What the heck? So the plots in those weird novels from my past life were actually true? There really are men who get excited when they see their girlfriends being intimate with other men?

Then, somewhat annoyed, she abruptly pulled her arm away from Asaki's embrace.

If Asaki is sexually frustrated and wants to seduce her, she wouldn't mind playing along... It must be quite exciting to have a priestess who is someone else's girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Asaki clearly only wanted to use her to provoke Luca.

I'm sorry, but a loyal and virtuous female knight would never do anything improper with a priestess!

Having made up her mind, Valensa had just put on a noble and serious expression, ready to teach Asashi a lesson, when she suddenly heard a commotion and Giroud's loud shouts from the front of the group.

Enemy attack?

Giru's voice was clearly very serious, indicating that this attacker was different from the small fry monsters he had encountered that morning and might be very dangerous.

Valensa immediately assumed a fighting stance, while Asashi also gathered holy light in her hands, ready to unleash healing magic to provide support at any time.

At this moment, the convoy quickly stopped, and Harry, sitting on top of the metal container, didn't even bother with those amateurish and stiff swordsmanship poses anymore, and immediately began chanting spells.

This further convinced Valensa that the enemy was not to be underestimated, and that it might even be the second bonus question posed by the teachers at the War Academy.

She led Asashi forward a few steps and soon saw the true form of the attackers who had been hidden by the metal container.

Fat, very fat, extremely fat.

Like those sumo wrestlers from my previous life, even fatter than them.

That was Valensa's first impression of the attacker.

It was a monster even larger than a Doco, about five stories tall, and its body structure resembled that of a canine monster, only much fatter.

"This thing is..."

Valensa frowned deeply, unable to immediately identify the type of monster.

There were no similar monsters near Sergin Town, and she had not seen any similar creatures in the Adventurers' Guild's monster encyclopedia.

"This thing is a slick dragon... It originally lived in the Witch's Forest, but was later rejected by the dragon race and relocated overseas. It is one of the original sub-dragon species. You should have heard of it, right?"

Tia happened to arrive at Valensa's side at that moment, and after hearing Valensa's puzzled mutterings, she explained to her with a wry smile:

"Strictly speaking, it is not a monster, so it is not recorded in the Adventurers' Guild's monster encyclopedia."

"So it's the Fat Dragon? That unlucky fellow who got expelled from the dragon ranks?"

Valensa then realized what was happening.

She had indeed heard the story of the oily dragon, but had never seen one.

According to the species classification of this world, the Oily Dragon was originally a sub-dragon species, a distant relative of the dragon race, and could be considered a kind of intelligent life, able to share the blessings of the Sun Goddess with other intelligent beings.

The term "sub-dragon" refers to the hybrid offspring born from the union of dragons and non-dragons. After all, most dragons are promiscuous and have a strong sense of curiosity. They love to use shapeshifting magic to transform into other life forms and experience different kinds of love and pleasure.

The exact origin of the other half of the slick dragon's bloodline is now difficult to verify. In any case, they did not inherit a portion of the dragon race's power and intelligence like other sub-dragon species. They have small brains and act entirely on instinct.

Coupled with their ugly and bloated appearance, the dragons finally could not tolerate them any longer. At a clan meeting more than ten years ago, they decided to expel the fat dragons from the dragon ranks and banish them from the Witch Forest.

After this story spread, the greasy dragon became a laughing stock, and even many human parents would say this when disciplining their greedy children:

"If you keep eating like this, you'll become as bloated and ugly as a fat dragon and be expelled from humanity!"

But even though the shrew is ugly, it is still a subspecies of dragon, and it is even more dangerous because of its low intelligence. Most people have never had the chance to see it, and there are very few images or information about it.

"But how did the greasy dragon end up here?"

After matching the enemy before her with the unfortunate character in the story, Valensa looked puzzled again:

"Weren't they all exiled overseas by the dragons and almost extinct on the continent of Frenoia?"

"Well... I might ask the teachers about that after I enroll."

Tia shrugged, but her expression suddenly turned serious, and several cards appeared in her hand:

"Let's figure out a way to defeat it first, with all our might... Even the weakest adult sub-dragon is at least at the Lighthouse level, so we can't let our guard down again!"

"I see."

Valensa nodded.

Actually, even without Tia saying it, the current battle situation of Melody and the other two musketeers is enough to prove that the Oily Dragon is definitely a formidable enemy.

Giru swung his bladeless greatsword with a whooshing sound, each strike powerful and heavy enough to tear flesh and shatter bones even a Pearl-level monster from its wounds.

But the oily dragon isn't so afraid.

Its body was covered in thick, thick fat that was both elastic and resilient. When Giru's blunt greatsword struck it, it was like cutting water with a knife; it could penetrate very deep, but bounce back up completely unharmed.

Melody's rapier was even worse. Even though her rapier was extremely sharp and could easily pierce the skin of the oil dragon and insert the blade completely, there was no blood when it was pulled out; only oil would flow out.

Because the fat on the greasy dragon's body is thicker than the length of Melody's rapier.

Moreover, the oil in the fat of the greasy dragon is not harmless. After Melody tried to stab the greasy dragon's body several times, the blade of her rapier began to smoke and showed signs of corrosion.

Helpless, Melody had no choice but to abandon her plan to continue close combat and instead began to spin in the air, swinging her curvaceous body to shoot diamond pellets, aiming specifically at the oily dragon's eyes.

This method is quite effective. The oily dragon's eyes are not protected by fat, so it has to constantly dodge and defend itself, which is the main reason why it has not been able to get close to the multi-family beast so far.

To be so obese as to be expelled from the dragon ranks, the fat dragon must have a huge appetite, and he eats both meat and vegetables without any restrictions.

Fortunately, it is generally not very interested in humans, because humans are too small and have too little meat. Large herbivorous monsters like the Polymorph are the favorites of the Fat Dragon.

Although Melody's diamond-shaped projectiles could temporarily stop the oily dragon, they did not solve the problem at all.

The arrival of their natural enemies had already thrown the Docos into a panic. If it weren't for the tamers' efforts to calm them down, the Docos might have already abandoned the flatbed truck and containers and fled.

Even so, the Docosaurus's legs are now trembling, and its body is beginning to show various adverse reactions from excessive fright.

Simply resisting the oily dragon is useless; we must kill or drive it away as soon as possible!

Why not burn it?

Perhaps he'd gained a lot of confidence yesterday, because Luca actually spoke up at this moment:

"With so much fat and oil on its body, it should be easy to burn, right?"

Then he was met with unanimous disdain from all his teammates.

Chapter 118 Upgrade Cards and the Lever Principle

"Are you an idiot? Do you even know what a sub-dragon species is?!"

Even Asaki couldn't take it anymore this time, and angrily complained to her boyfriend.

But she soon discovered that not only her boyfriend, but also many members of the food association, were showing the same puzzled expressions as Luca.

"……never mind."

Finally, Harry sighed helplessly and raised his wand:

"It's faster to let them see for themselves than to explain...drink."

As fire element gathered at the tip of the wand, a fireball the size of a watermelon was quickly shot out and hit the fat dragon's body, which was covered in fat and oil, right where Melody had pierced it earlier.

When oil and fire meet, there is also plenty of oxygen in the outside world.

The flames did indeed rise up in an instant, but before the dockworkers could cheer, the newly lit flames were extinguished instantly, as if doused with ice water.

Harry didn't stop. He waved his wand again and shot out three ice spears, which easily entered the fat dragon's body, but lasted even less... disappearing in less than two seconds.

Harry then swung his wand a third time, this time with a wind blade attack.

The wind is formless, so it cannot disappear.

The sharp wind blades, which were originally sharp enough to cut houses in half, could only break through the skin of the fat dragon. They lost their power almost as soon as they came into contact with the fat and oil, and were not as effective as fireballs and ice spears.

"Did you see that?"

After performing three magic tricks in a row, Harry shrugged helplessly.

“This guy is an adult sub-dragon, born with the dragon race’s strong resistance to magic... Elemental magic below the Lighthouse level can’t hurt him... I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

No, you can do it!

Tia suddenly spoke up at this moment, and even tossed a card to Harry:

"then."

"……This is?"

Harry took the card and saw the word "Ascension" written on it in magical runes.

"Upgrade Card".

Tia chuckled softly:

"It can increase the strength of any attack below the Radiant rank by one level. With it, you can use elemental magic with the strength of a Lighthouse rank, at the cost of doubling the mana consumption."

With your current remaining magic power... well, you'll have about three chances. Make the most of them.
