Chapitre 75: Ch 65 – Hunting A Dragon
(A Few Days Later)
Inside a deep underground cave, Rintarou was seen wearing a featureless white mask along with a black cloak, black shirt, and white pants.
"Yawn," I said while unmasking the lower part of my face for a few seconds to let out my yawn and glance around the underground cave that is quite lit due to the glowing moss all around the cave.
I have been doing quite fine the past week I have been inside this world by hunting some monsters here and there every day and now my level has already risen to 54.

I have gained the Magical Mastery skill a few days ago while hunting some giant bugs inside the forest a few kilometers away from the Royal Capital and it's just how good I am at utilizing my Mana.
While I looked around the cave I am currently in, I remembered how I found this and it was basically due to my high luck, I was just going to the mountain up north from the Royal Capital because I heard there were tons of monsters there but I accidentally stumbled to this unexplored cave just at the middle point of the mountain and decided to explore it.
As I looked around the room, I cast heat vision to my eyes and didn't see any heat signature near me so I just continued to walk forward the long cave that continued to go downwards.
But as I continued to walk downwards on this wide-open hallway of the cave that doesn't seem to divide into two or more paths, I started to notice the air got colder along with the walls and knew that something was up.
So with a grin, I hastened my pace and as I continued to thread this wider and wider path, I started to notice that my breath was getting colder along with walls coated with ice.
As I looked at the walls, I knew an ice-related enemy was up so with confidence, I drew out my sword that gained tons of op enchantments over the days and I could already create more powerful enchantments with my higher mana reservoir.
As I got closer and closer to the probable end of this long-winded cave, I move towards the sharp corner and was greeted with a sight I probably wouldn't forget for a few hundred years.
With a wide-open room full of pillars of ice, with a landscape coated in crystal-like ice that brought a beautiful scene, it's like the crystal room from AOT but more magnificent and grander in appearance and view.
And in the middle of that grand icy landscape slept a gigantic white dragon that should be an adult and I looked at it with a hastily beating heart.
A dragon!
A real fucking dragon!
As the dragon noticed my mana signature, I saw that its body started to move from its deep sleep and with a wide grin behind my featureless mask, the runes on my sword started to work as it became a hot sword coated with blazing flames that melted the surrounding ice around me.
"Hup," I said and rushed towards the gigantic Ice Dragon that is an S rank monster and is high above there in terms of S rank monsters.
"Roar!" shouted the Ice Dragon as it finally became fully awake and looked at me with enraged shining blue eyes and felt the air around me significantly getting colder but I didn't care.
This Dragon should be level 1000+ in terms of my system level from what I tested so with a wide grin, I rushed towards the Ice Dragon who shot a beam of ice from its mouth and felt the huge amount of mana exuding from that breath attack alone.
"Ha!" I shouted and challenged the beam of cold air by swinging my fiery sword towards it and saw a crescent sword beam from my sword that burned the surrounding areas.
As my sword beam and dragon's ice beam, I watch an explosion occurring from the point of impact, pushing me away from the explosion that was produced.
"ROAR!" shouted the Ice Dragon with a rumbling voice as the whole cave shook from its roar as ice fell down from the air while it looked at me with shining blue eyes.
As mana gathered around the air near the dragon, tons of icicles appeared around it and enhance with the surrounding's natural cold aura, the mana it used was reduced due to its natural advantage.
And I responded with the icicles that shot towards me by increasing my speed and barely dodging the gigantic spear-like icicles and the dragon responded back by swinging its large tail towards me, but I knew that it will do that and from that move alone, a huge amount of wind pressure went towards me from its sheer physical prowess.
"HA!" I shouted while rushing through the wind pressure by moving it away with my bullshit magic cheat after learning how magic works in this world, like you need to chant, to visualize, to need equipment, and just so much more that magic is basically super hard to use in combat unless you have a tank or someone who can deal physical damage to the enemy and gather enough time for the mage to cast some spells.
But here I am, due to my cheats, I am able to contend with dragons that are thousands of levels above me from a power-level perspective due to what I can do with my magic.
With a grin behind my mask, I activated my magic to make the heat around my sword become super hot that it evaporated the ice around me in a few seconds but due to my enchantments, my cloak lets me feel like it's as warm as spring.
With a swing, I felt my sword slashing through the oncoming tail like butter but the mana I expended was a bit too much from just one attack so I hastily retreated away from the Ice Dragon.
"ROAR!" shouted the Ice Dragon as I saw that its tail was already regrowing back while its face was looking at me with enraged eyes.
But everything was still under my control and watched it rushing towards me and I took a sword stance while I felt my mana rapidly regenerating with the bullshit enchantments on my clothes and by the time the dragon reached me, my mana was already full that it allowed me to use a spell I made on the spot.
Control the oxygen, combustion, heat, light, direction, now!
As a series of actions were made in my mind, I expended tons of Mana and saw a small blue burning point in the air appear that the Ice Dragon ignored, but it was its downfall as a beam of superhot blue flames shot towards the open mouth of the dragon who prepared to shoot another beam of ice.
And as the two points of opposite temperatures met, a large explosion appeared inside the open mouth of the Ice Dragon taking off its jaw and knocking it out with the help of science.
"Oh god," I said while I plop down to my knee and gagged on the spot.
"Expending all of my mana two times on the spot, I thought I was going to faint already," I said while power coursed through my body.
"Whew," I said while taking off my mask to wipe off the sweat on my forehead and looked at the burnt jaw lying beside me and chuckled.
"Now, what was the thing about consuming Dragon Hearts again?" I muttered and remembered that the Adventurer's Guild owner ate the hearts of dragons to increase his power, hmm.
With that thought in mind, I walked towards the dragon while my mana has already fully recovered and sighed at how broken Magic Tool Creation was and walked towards the chest of the dragon and stick my sword towards it and it felt like slashing through normal meat with a sharp knife inside the kitchen, it wasn't butter but it was still impressive, to cut through a dragon with so much ease, my weapon might as well be a national treasure.
With a swing, the dragon's chest was cut right open while red but surprisingly cold blood flooded out of it as I entered inside the wound and onto the chest, and after a bit of digging around, I found the rib cage and cut it wide open and found the still pumping heart.
"Come to daddy," I said with a smile while I pulled the heart with a heave as it plop right out with a fountain of blood spewing all around the area.
"Shit, do I just eat it raw?" I muttered with worry, with a deep breath, I shrunk it down with space manipulation and with one gulp, the now pebble size ice dragon heart fell to my stomach and as it did, an explosion of energy appeared that made my stomach instantly bloated and I felt like my body was about to explode.
"Oh shit!" I said while I got down to my knee and felt like I was about to die from the sheer energy coursing through my body but I used my mana and reinforced my body while hurriedly making the energy coursing through me mine and felt my level and mana rapidly increasing.
After a while, the feeling of exploding finally receded while steam exude from my body, and looked at my new status.

"Oh yeah, a new race and A rank Mana and B rank Magical Mastery," I said with a smile as mana rumbled around my hand and felt my natural attunement to ice and how my ice-related spells will become colder, stronger, and less mana taxing.
With a wide grin, I took the body of the whole dragon inside my storage space and just left the jaw on the ground because it has no useful bones I could use to craft a new set of weapons and armor for myself and slowly got out of the long-winded cave.
And after a few grueling minutes walking up, I finally reached the entrance of the cave and with a single kick, I flew off away from the mountain, not even bothering to go to the top as I already gained a large haul today.
But what I didn't notice was a woman with red fiery hair looking at the cave I got out of hiding in the shadows and looked at the cave entrance with curiosity, and with shining eyes, she entered the cave where Rintarou, unfortunately, left an Ice Dragon's jaw that would definitely leave this woman bewildered.
