Chapter 183
I whispered as we walked away from the water dragon palace .
I was being careful so that Serulis could not hear .
“Goran . I’m surprised you gave Serulis your permission . ”
“…Would you have preferred it if I hadn’t?”
“Not at all . I think she is very good with the sword . But aren’t you worried about her? As a parent?”
“Of course, I am . But it’s not possible to go on Adventurers only after you’re a seasoned Adventurer . ”
“Well, that’s true . ”
You could gain experience through repeatedly hunting goblins and demon rats .
But hunting vampires was an entirely different matter .
No amount of goblin or rat hunting would prepare you for fighting vampires .
“Please look after her when you can…”
“I’ll do my best . ”
“Thank you . ”
And then I addressed Shia .
“Shia . I didn’t know that you and the beastkin tribes used communication bracelets too . ”
I was sure that they hadn’t previously .
During the battle with the High Lord, they had used messengers .
“His Majesty gave them to us . ”
“Aye . It was necessary, so I gave them about twenty of them . ”
Eric had been doing a lot behind the scenes .
And so we left the palace and headed for the barrier and gate .
Dorgo was waiting for us in the form of a huge dragon .
Aside from Dorgo, I would be accompanied by Eric, Goran, Shia, Serulis, and Grulf .
Nia watched us as we all got on Dorgo’s back .
“Good luck!”
“Please be careful!”
“Leave the rest to me . ”
Leea and Kathe were in their dragon forms .
That meant they were prepared to fight .
“I will take off then . ”
“Thank you . ”
And with us on his back, Dorgo lept up into the sky from the gate . He moved at an incredible speed .
Shia and Serulis grimaced . Grulf was crushed up beside me .
In no time, we arrived at the place that the beastkin wolves suspected the main base was .
As we looked down from the sky, Dorgo said,
“Indeed . I do sense the presence of magic . ”
“It must be concealment magic . Just as the reports suggested . ”

“This is where I would like to hit them with my breath…”
“Hmm . But there appear to be defense barriers as well . I don’t think even your breath will do much damage to it . ”
“In that case, maybe we should go down there and hit it with more physical attacks?”
Goran suggested .
That seemed the surest way . But it would also take longer and defeat the purpose of our ambush .
Besides, they might also have prepared for such an attack as well .
“Leave it to me . ”
“If you say so, Locke . ”
“Thank you, Eric . Shia, are there any beastkin nearby?”
“Let me check . ”
“If there are any, tell them to move out of the area immediately . I’m going to use some great magic . ”
“I understand . ”
Shia contacted the chiefs through her bracelet .
“Everything is fine . They are all watching from quite a distance now . ”
“That’s good . ”
Serulis looked puzzled .
“But didn’t you say that they have strong defense barriers? Even your power shouldn’t be…”
“Indeed . Hitting it with magic attacks won’t do a whole lot…”
I turned to Dorgo .

“Would you mind circling the area?”
“Understood . ”
He slowly circled the place from above .
And I searched for the giant barrier and the important areas .
It was cleverly hidden, but I was able to get a good idea of where it was .
“There are twelve cores that make up the barrier . It’s a dangerous type that requires that you destroy all of them within a short period, or it will restore itself . ”
The barrier was big . It would take an hour to walk around it .
But Dorgo could fly around the area quickly . But it would still take time if we had to stop to break each one .
When I explained this to him, Dorgo looked troubled and said,
“What should we do? Perhaps we must give up trying to break the whole barrier . I suppose we will just have to land and force our way in?”
“No, let’s leave it to Locke . Locke, we’re counting on you . ”
“There are no people around here . Locke . Just unleash your power . ”
Eric and Goran had no doubts about my ability to destroy the barrier .
“It’s not that easy . ”
“So you can’t do it?”
“I didn’t say that . ”
“I see . Of course . ”
Eric looked happy for some reason .

But if he expected me to be able to do it, I couldn’t disappoint him .
“Alright…”
And so I unleashed my magic . Meteor Strike .
Twelve of them at the same time . I created gigantic magic circles above all twelve of the cores and called the meteors . And the meteors moved at an incredible speed the moment they appeared .
The air below the meteors was compressed and red hot .
The cores surrounding the barrier were set apart evenly .
And so I needed to activate the magic to summon multiple meteors that were very far apart at the same time .
It was incredibly difficult, but I did my best .
“What!”
Dorgo cried out in surprise .
In a way, these meteors that I summoned were just giant boulders that were very hot . However, these kinds of attacks were hard to defend against . The barriers were mainly focused on magic defense .
And I used gravity magic to make the boulders fall faster .
—GGGGGAAAAAAA
And like that, the meteors crashed to the ground, sending tremendous shockwaves all over the area .
We could even feel them up high in the air .
“The barrier has been destroyed . ”
“…Th-that was astounding . ”
Dorgo said under his breath .
