Chap 17:A dinosarous

Shiina squeeze the light, signal for Motorus to start moving. Half-breast creature, half a bowl roared a low bow before before TB forward, leaving the long snow.

The wind is cold on her face, but thanks to the coat of the coat that Draft put, she could still bear. Shiina eyes on the side of the white horizon deleted, where only cold winds and snow covered everything. She did not know what the next point would be, but she believed to continue, she would find something she needed.

A moment later, the farm appeared a virtual black ball. Initially, Shiina thought it was just a large rock snowed over, but she almost, she realized it was more strange shape.

"A monster?" Shiina wondering, and cautiously reduced the motor motor for more closely observed.

When there is only a few dozen meters, Shiina can be clearly seen: It is a huge armor burning in the snow, mostly froze. But weirdly, the armor is still light light paths, showing it not completely lost energy.

"What is this?" She muttered, and carefully approached, a hand put on his magical bag, stabilized the uncertainty.

Shiina raised his hand to the cold armor. At that moment, a sound machine rang from inside, then the blue light on the armor suddenly flashed more likely to be awakened after a long sleep.

Suddenly the armor varies. Shiina stood in a while, his eyes sticked on space where the armor was gone. She did not understand what was just happening, but the feeling of being difficult to understand her.

"It is also likely that a trap or challenge," Shiina said, then took a deep breath, regained calm. "Anyway, is not my job."

She turned his back on the road, self-reminder to sight. Despite the unclear what is that, which is certainly something strange in that.

A moment later, Shiina felt cold when the snowstorm began to blow more. She hurried to the Motorus to go faster, looking for shelter. The more, she felt like he was closer to her goal, but the instincts did not allow her to be.

Shiina quickly put her hands on the snow, trying to stand up. The tremor was so strong that the ground shook violently, and snow fell from the trees.

She immediately turned her head to the right, where the tremor came from. A column of snow smoke rose up, obscuring her vision. "What just happened...?" Shiina muttered, tightening her grip on the handlebars of the Motorus.

She hesitated for a moment, then decided to move closer to check. If it was a fight between contestants, she needed to be careful. But if it was a dangerous creature, she couldn't let her guard down.

The wind blew strongly, carrying with it cold snowflakes. Shiina slowly walked towards the source of the tremor, filled with curiosity and vigilance.

Shiina jumped back in surprise, her breath stopping for a moment. In front of her was a giant dinosaur, its thick dark green scales covered in snow, its golden eyes shining with a wild look. Each step it took caused the ground to shake, snow flying everywhere.

"What the hell is this...!?" Shiina muttered, holding onto Motorus tightly to keep her balance.

The dinosaur let out a loud roar, its breath blowing out cold air amidst the snow. It stared at Shiina, seemingly sizing her up. Shiina swallowed, quickly assessing the situation. Fight or flee?

She clenched her fists, feeling the magical energy flowing through her body. If she couldn't avoid it, she would probably have to confront this monster!

The Motorus roared in panic, turning around and running in the opposite direction, leaving her facing the giant dinosaur.

"Damn it…!" She muttered, hastily standing up, brushing the snow off her clothes.

The monster roared again, its heavy footsteps advancing towards her, leaving giant footprints in the snow. Each step it took shook the ground, signaling its overwhelming power.

Shiina retreated a little, her mind quickly calculating a way to escape this situation. She had no melee weapon, but her magic could be useful. "Calm down… It's big, but that doesn't mean it's invincible."

She raised her hand, gathering her magic power, ready to launch an attack if the monster continued to charge!

Behind the monster, she saw a group of people – probably other contestants – moving in an organized manner. One of them was continuously casting ice magic to slow down the dinosaur, while two others were attacking it from the sides with weapons.

"They were fighting it from before?" She thought to herself. It seemed like the monster was slightly injured, but it was still very aggressive.

Just then, one of the others – a girl holding a spear – turned to see Shiina. She shouted loudly: "Hey! If you don't want to get caught up in this, get away! Or help!"

Shiina clenched her fists. "I can't just stand here." She quickly thought – should she support them or find a way to retreat before getting caught up in the battle?

After a moment of hesitation, Shiina clenched her fists, her eyes shining with determination. She wasn't the type to just stand by and watch when she could do something.

"Alright. If I'm in a fight, I'll fight with all my might."

Without further hesitation, she swung her hand forward. A cold air blew out, the surrounding snow swirled as a large scythe appeared in her hand—a familiar weapon that reflected a cold silver light against the white sky.

The snowy wind swept past, the hem of her robe fluttering. Shiina lowered her center of gravity, her hand gripping the scythe's handle tightly, her eyes focused on the roaring monster.

"Alright, cooperate with me! We'll finish this as quickly as possible!" She spoke, her voice filled with confidence, blending into the whistling wind in the snowstorm.

Shiina lightly kicked her feet, a strong wind blew around her. In an instant, her body seemed to glide through the air, following the air currents, accelerating straight towards the giant monster.

Whoosh!

The air whistled past her ears as she swung her scythe, the sharp slash like a cold streak of light tearing through the white snow. Feeling the murderous intent, the monster immediately turned around, its giant claws swung out as if to crush the attacker.

Shiina gritted her teeth, concentrating with all her might. She adjusted her direction in mid-air, her body gently turned to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Now!" She growled, swinging the scythe in a perfect arc, aiming straight for the monster's neck!

The scythe collided with the dinosaur's skin, but instead of cutting through like she expected, it bounced back with a powerful recoil. Shiina stepped back, her eyes shining with surprise.

"Too hard…" She muttered, her hand numb from the impact.

The monster roared again, its murderous eyes sweeping straight at her. The thick scales on its body flashed a strange light under the white snow, as if covered by a special layer of protection.

"Can't cut through… Then I have to change my method." Shiina quickly stepped back, thinking of a new plan. She stretched out her hand, the magical energy around her began to converge, the cold winds swirling stronger.

At the same time, the other warriors also noticed the abnormality of the monster. One of them shouted:

"It has a physical resistance armor! It needs to be broken by magical attacks!"

Hearing this, Shiina changed her tactics. She retreated, swinging her arm to create a powerful whirlwind, the snow under her feet swirling with the air current. The whirlwind gradually rotated around her scythe, covering it with a layer of sharp magic power.

"If cutting doesn't cut through… then I'll use wind to cut through!"

She jumped forward, her speed greatly increased by magic. With a powerful slash, she swung the scythe straight at the monster's front leg.

Swoosh!

This time, the scythe cut through the hard armor thanks to the compressed air surrounding the blade. A deep cut appeared, causing the monster to roar in pain, its front leg collapsing, sending snow flying.

"It worked!" Shiina thought to herself, but before she could rejoice, the monster whipped its tail towards her at a terrifying speed!

"Shiina, watch out!" Someone shouted.

Realizing that the attack was too fast, Shiina quickly wrapped herself in a whirlwind, using it to reduce the impact force before being blown away. She rolled over on the snow, standing up with a heavy breath.

The monster was still very energetic despite being injured. It roared, its eyes glowing red, preparing to launch a more fierce counterattack. The surrounding warriors also began to coordinate, each preparing their own magic to attack together.

Shiina tightened her grip on her scythe, her eyes determined.

"If I alone am not enough, then let's join forces…"

The real battle had just begun!

One of the nearby fighters—a mage in a white robe—quickly rushed towards Shiina. He raised his hand, and a pale green light enveloped her.

"Advanced Healing!"

The healing magic took effect immediately. The wounds on Shiina's body gradually closed, and the pain disappeared. She felt her strength returning, and her breathing became more stable.

"Thank you." Shiina nodded to the mage, then turned to look at the monster. It was still roaring, and although it was injured, it showed no signs of being completely weakened.

Another warrior stepped forward, holding a flaming greatsword. "We can't drag this fight out for too long. If you have a stronger move, use it now!"

Shiina clenched her scythe, her eyes shining with determination. She took a deep breath, and the wind magic once again surged around her.

"Alright, then let's end it now!"

Shiina squinted and stared at the monster. Green light emitted from the wounds on its body, strange patterns spread across its thick scales. The surrounding air trembled slightly, a cold wind swept past, giving her an ominous premonition.

"Be careful! It's preparing to do something!" One of the warriors shouted.

Immediately, the monster raised its head, its mouth wide open, a green energy gathered. Shiina felt a terrible pressure radiating from it, every cell in her body seemed to be warning of danger.

"It's about to launch a powerful attack!" The mage standing next to her hurriedly chanted a spell to create a defensive barrier.

Shiina clenched her scythe, wind magic surged around her body. She knew that if she didn't act now, the group might not be able to react to the upcoming attack.

"We can't let it attack!" She gritted her teeth, her body rushing towards the monster like a whirlwind.

Shiina ignored everyone's warnings, she tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand and coldly cut a line on her skin. Red blood immediately flowed out, dripping onto the white snow, but she did not hesitate or show any pain.

Under the mysterious blue light emitted from the monster, Shiina raised her bloody arm, letting the blood flow along the blade, mixing with the magic power surging inside her. The surrounding air seemed to be affected as well, each swirling wind swirled with her breathing, strong and sharp.

"If you can absorb magic power…" Shiina curled her lips, her eyes flashing coldly. "Then try swallowing this!"

Although the distance was still far, Shiina still resolutely swung her dagger down.

A crimson light flashed in the air, followed by a fierce wind sweeping across the battlefield. In an instant, space seemed to freeze, all sounds disappeared.

Then, in the blink of an eye—

BOOM!

The giant dinosaur suddenly stood still, the blue light on its body flickering continuously like a dying lamp. Invisible cuts appeared all over its body, overlapping each other like a death matrix. And then—

BOOM!

The monster's body disintegrated before everyone's eyes, shattering into thousands of small pieces, falling like torn pieces of paper. The strong wind swept through, carrying the remaining remnants, leaving the ground as bare as if no living thing had ever existed.

Shiina slowly landed, her hair fluttering in the wind. She looked down at the dagger in her hand, still dripping with blood.

"So… it's this strong?"
