The air compressed in Fubuki's hands, and then, as the Red Dragon swooped down and breathed fire, the compressed air suddenly erupted.
Everyone's vision was instantly filled with a sky full of sand, stone, and dust.
The sound was deafening, like an explosion.
The buildings caught in the storm collapsed with a roar.
But the bursting gale released an even fiercer strong wind; this strong wind was also divided by Fubuki's psychic power, transforming into countless invisible wind blades that sliced towards the Red Dragon.
The dragon, due to its massive body, was unable to evade.
By the time it reacted, it was already too late.
The wind blade violently struck the dragon's scales, which an average adventurer couldn't penetrate, but in front of the wind blade, they were easily sliced open like plastic.
The Red Dragon let out a wail, and hot blood splattered continuously.
Its tattered wings struggled to support its massive body, and it crashed to the ground.
But a dragon's vitality is unimaginable.
Its inverted pupils reflected Fubuki's figure; it couldn't comprehend how such a tiny human could defeat it.
In its last moments, the Red Dragon opened its massive mouth, full of blood and fangs, and magic condensed within it, but in the next second, it was decapitated by a wide wind blade.
When the smoke cleared.
Marcille and the others were shocked to discover that the powerful Red Dragon, which had nearly wiped out their party, had been directly decapitated!
They hadn't even witnessed the battle, nor had they seen the green-haired woman use any weapon, yet she had cut through the Red Dragon's tough body.
"Fubuki-oneesan... so amazing!"
"This is the first time I've seen a group member fight," Marcille exclaimed in surprise.
What was that just now?
Magic?
But there was no magic reaction, and no incantation was chanted.
"This level is nothing; the danger level of this dragon in my world is at most 'Tiger-level lower.' Let alone heroes, even an army of ordinary people could handle it."
Fubuki didn't take it to heart.
She was already used to her team members' praise and wouldn't get carried away just because of Marcille.
"Wait a minute! Marcille, what did you just say?"
Just then, Gabriel exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent.
A bewildered Marcille clutched her staff and said somewhat nervously, "...So, so amazing?"
"No, the sentence before that!"
"...Fubuki-oneesan?"
"Yes! That's the sentence! Don't you think it's strange?! By the way, Marcille is an elf, right? How old are you this year?"
"I think... fifty years old..."
After she said that, without Gabriel needing to explain, everyone understood the problem.
Rosen stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Fubuki is only twenty-three this year. Fifty-year-old Marcille could be her mother."
"Ah, this..."
Marcille was stunned.
After realizing, her entire face instantly flushed red.
Fubuki, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Gabriel and Rosen.
She had thought it was something major; turns out it was just this?
However, to be fair, after knowing Marcille's age, it did feel a bit strange to hear her call herself 'oneesan.'
But Marcille's appearance was very young.
One had to admit that long-lived races were indeed peculiar.
"You can't calculate an elf's age like that... I'm currently equivalent to a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old human..."
Marcille argued.
Although she was an elf, she was also a girl; no one wanted to get old.
"Indeed, as a fellow elf, I'm only equivalent to a human in their thirties right now."
Frieren dispelled her defensive magic, walked over, and patted Marcille's shoulder to comfort her.
"I suddenly thought of an old saying."
Gabriel suddenly interjected.
"Why does an old woman pretend to be a maiden?"
After hearing this, Frieren immediately turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Gabriel with a twitching face.
Although Gabriel had mocked her age a few times before, saying it directly to her face was a first!
"I'm just a relatively older 'big sister'!"
In the end, Rosen stepped in to mediate.
"Stop bickering for now; let's find Falyn's body and revive her as soon as possible."
...
The ruined streets and buildings were slowly recovering.
From within the walls, a yellowish substance, resembling moving worms, appeared, filling the pits Fubuki had created and slowly forming the shape of walls.
The Danmachi has a self-repairing mechanism.
The things repairing the walls were a type of harmless monster.
At the same time, many slime-like substances appeared on the ground.
They were not aggressive but began to "clean up" the Red Dragon's blood and corpse.
Laios chased them away to prevent them from affecting Falyn's resurrection.
And at this moment, a peeling corpse, whose entire body and internal organs had festered from stomach acid, lay in the magic circle constructed by Marcille.
"Putting everything else aside, at least these adventurers have strong psychological endurance."
Gabriel pinched her nose.
Because they had to find Falyn's body, after the Red Dragon died, Laios and Senshi used their weapons to cut open the dragon's belly and found Falyn's body still being digested in its stomach.
Since less than three days had passed, it hadn't been completely digested.
However, it had lost skin and large muscle organs.
Normally, a corpse in this condition would have already died.
But under the resurrection magic, Falyn's body rapidly recovered.
Then, in a vision only visible to Rosen and Gabriel, a short-haired girl's blue soul slowly drifted from afar, then looked around for a while, and entered the already repaired body.
The next second, breathing, blood flow, and organ pulsations instantly returned to normal.
Her pale skin regained its rosy color at a visible speed, and then she opened her eyes.
After seeing the people gathered around her.
Marcille threw herself into Falyn's arms.
"Falyn, you're finally resurrected!"
The half-elf girl cried tears of joy.
"Marcille, Laios-nii-san."
Falyn, who had regained consciousness, also saw her former companions and family, her face filled with joy, and her eyes curved into crescents.
Resurrection and reunion were commonplace for adventurers.
An adventurer who hadn't died wasn't a good adventurer, and it even became an unwritten rule among the adventurer community.
"So... the quest is complete?"
Saeko Busujima seemed a little lost.
It felt like she hadn't done anything.
She was purely on a trip.
"It's a bit fast, but it's not without Harvest ."
Gabriel kicked away a Danmachi cleaner that was clearing dragon blood.
"Don't you want to taste dragon meat?"
"Dragon meat, huh... Although I've encountered a few dragons before, I've never eaten them."
Frieren squatted down and began to study it.
"We could try?"
Rosen also had this idea.
Dragon blood and flesh, no matter what kind, are highly nourishing.
In the original work, because Falyn used dragon blood and flesh to repair her body during her resurrection, not only did her magic power increase, but she also didn't need to chant spells when casting.
If he brought it back for his dependents to eat, would it increase their attribute values?
...
Thanks to Kane Breed for the reward, wishing the boss good health.
