"Lord M–... I mean Momon. Your swords for the fight." Nabe, Momon's gorgeous battle assistant and companion, presented to him his blades that she spent the night polishing and refining, ready for usage.
"Umu. Thanks, Nabe." Momon takes the blades and points them at the Ice Dragon.
"EXCELLENT! COME AT ME BOTH OF YOU AT ONCE!" The dragon roars in confidence.
Hiro initiates the fight, running towards the dragon with inhuman speed. With barely any tike to react, the dragon dashes left, avoiding the adventurer's trajectory. But even so, Hiro's body transforms into a string of light and teleports right in front of him.
"Guh! Using magic when he's a warrior!!" The dragon groans in frustration. Quickly, he raises his draconic arm and blocks Hiro's strike. The latter swings his sharp katana, blocked at the last second by the dragon. The fight of brutal force goes on as Hiro pushes and the dragon uses its force to repel the katana's blow that slowly broke through his defenses, reaching the flesh.
And suddenly, he roars in pain, "GRAH!!" Momon got on top of him while he was busy fending off Hiro's katana. He was caught of guard, this made the katana crunch inside the dragon paw. A loud sound of pain and agony resonated as the katana pierced through the skin, flesh, meat and bones of the dragon. He started shaking heavily, trying to get Momon off his back and Hiro away.
Hiro pulled out his katana from the dragon's insides and landed safely on the ground. "Holy..." Hiro couldn't believe as Momon was still standing on the dragon, who was shaking and pounding in all directions.
"Get OFF ME NOW YOU INSIGNIFICANT INSECT!!!" The dragon cursed as he tried to get Momon off him. "No, I don't think that will happen." Momon said. Then, he lifts his weapon up, aiming at the dragon's weak point.
It's not the first time he faces a dragon but it's surely a first to see such a powerful one. Normally, the weak point is a soft space between the dragon's eyes. But with a dragon this big, the soft weak space immigrated to the top of the skull.
When the dragon understood Momon's trickery, he quickly retaliated with the heavy artillery. "By the power of cold ice, submerge my ennemies in eternal frost!!" The dragon casts.
In the next moment, an anti-cyclone forms in the sky. It extends so much a part of it reaches Baharuth, they weren't very far away from the Empire so they needed to be careful and quickly stop the dragon's madness.
Freezing cold snow manifested everywhere, including the kingdom. It was so forsty in fact that all exposed humans started feeling early symptoms of hypothermia seconds after the cyclone's start. The dragon thrived on the cold weather, granting him an extra layer of protection from the snow and ice that compacted at the surface of his epiderm.
The soft spirt was under layers of compact ice, and Momon's feet were congeled onto him, his body was getting imprisoned in ice as the time continued. Even the dragon's fractured hand transformed into a snowy tentacle of ice that replaced his paw while it regenerated.
Hiro admired the beautiful spectacle, awed by this ancient spell. But Nabe who saw her master in danger, quickly rushed towards the dragon with her sword. "Hahaha!! Do your worst mortal!" He roared, his tentacle of snow slashing in all directions, throwing extremely potent projectiles of sharp compacted ice.
Nabe finds no problem destroying the projectiles while moving forward.
The dragon then breaths ice into his tentacle of snow, making stalactites –claws of ice
– appear on top of it. "It's over for YOU!" He slams the claw onto Nabe.
This takes her of guard from how fast it struck. Her arms lift up as she pushes the claw of ice while it keeps on pushing her to the ground, threatening to squeeze her down.
"Grr–Gah!" Nabe fights the dragon with equal to superior strength while Momon was freeing himself from the ice prison and already planning his next move. Hiro saw just how amazing these two people are and how powerful they were. Together, they were surely going to take down the dragon without much effort.
But then... "ENOUGH!!" The dragon shouts.
Suddenly, the ice on his body triples as more layers appear. Stalactite appear serving as spikes. Momon is thrown from his back and Nabe gets squeezed into the ground, deep beneath in snow as the dragon's power double tenfold. His majestic roar of anger makes the clouds drop snow so thick and cold that Momon and Nabe started feeling a bit chill.
(A/N: Of course, they weren't using their power of Nazzarick at the moment.)
The snow starts accumulating dangerously and the dragon found himself growing exponentially in power. With his size growing from all the ice stacking up on his body, paired with the apparition of frosty subordinates and tentacles everywhere to slow the adventurers' progress.
"I'll go help Nabe. At this rate, she'll get stuck if the snow keeps accumulating." Hiro suggests to Momon, who stood beside him.
Momon nods, "Alright. Meanwhile I'll take care of his minions." He says. Nodding, Hiro runs to save Nabe while Momon locks in. Just like his many battles, he slashes through the surprisingly solid golem of ice.
"BLAAH!!" A tall golem groans as he prepares on slamming Momon with his icy fists.
"Out of my way." Momon says, destroying the golem with sheer willpower and a powerful kick in the abdomen. Meanwhile, Hiro doog up the snow above Nabe, six feet under and managed to reach her, "Let's get out of here, Nabe!" He shouts, his hand reaching at her، stuck in the poudreuse while it kept accumulating, six feet becoming seven.
Nabe struggled to get out, "I'm fine! I'll get out by myself but I appreciate the act of courageousness." She says, denying his help.
Regardless of her sentence, Hiro forcefully grabs her arm once he got the chance and pulled her up from the snow, shocking Nabe.
The two got up at the surface where Momon was single handedly facing the dragon after annihilating all of his subordinates. "Let's go help Momon." Hiro says, enthusiastically. Unbeknownst to him, he was still holding Nabe, "Right! Momon needs our help. The dragon seems weakened. It's our chance!" She says.
Then, the three fought will all their might, destroying layer after layer of ice on the dragon, golem after golem, until they reached the soft spot, now become the sheath to Hiro's katana, who finished him off and ended the anti-cyclone reign of hypothermia on this land.
This was a remarkable battle that was spoken about for days in the Empire and Re-Estize. Not only that but Momon, or rather Ainz, was able to evaluate Hiro's strength, and it was impressive.
But what mattered most was the aftermath if that fight... Something Hiro wasn't expecting to see so soon, tye rise of another catastrophe was upon us.
