Seeing Charlotte pull out a delicate silver dagger from her dimensional space, Alice couldn’t believe it.
She wouldn’t have thought that a Witch-sama, who specialized in magic, would carry such a small, delicate thing, as witches didn’t need such things for self-defense.
“What is this…”
“After my dad’s Dragon Slaying Dagger was lost, my mom created this replica, imitating the mechanism of the original. While it can’t directly destroy a dragon’s magic circuits like the original, it can instantly destroy magic or magic circles created through the magic circuits, like a killer that shatters illusions. Although its power ceiling is far less than half of the original Dragon Slaying Dagger, its lower limit has been significantly increased. However, the only downside is that to destroy magic or a magic circle, you have to touch it closely with the dagger.”
Charlotte patiently explained the function of the silver dagger to Alice.
When Mom Rhynes first made this dagger, it was intended as a gift for Dad Roland.
But Dad Roland had already abandoned his identity as a warrior and had no use for it.
So, the dagger was casually given to Chloe, who was Rhynes’s disciple at the time.
And a few years ago, after Charlotte graduated under Master Chloe’s tutelage, Master Chloe gave the silver dagger to her.
To be honest, although the dagger was quite functional, Charlotte, as an omnipotent witch, never used it in combat.
Offense was out of the question—this thing was completely useless. For defense, when faced with fireballs, she only needed to dodge them. There was no need to stand still and use this thing to destroy the incoming fireballs.
So, this thing had been sitting in her cold dimensional space, collecting dust as a collectible for several years.
And now, facing the giant dragon that emitted the True Chaos Magic aura, this thing finally had a chance to show its true value.
“So, if I stab this dagger into the dragon bone inside the giant dragon’s body, I can completely end this rampaging giant dragon?”
Hearing Charlotte’s explanation, Alice made a bold and logical guess.
“Probably…”
However, Charlotte couldn’t be entirely certain.
After all, she had never tried using such a small, delicate thing to fight such a massive giant dragon before. She suspected the silver dagger itself was internally screaming, “What? I’m fighting a giant dragon? Seriously?”
But regardless, this was their only winning card.
While they were discussing how to defeat the giant dragon that was causing trouble, the Holy Knight warriors, who had been guarding the surrounding forest, rushed over after hearing the commotion.
“Commander, are you alright?”
“You’re too slow!” Alice loudly reprimanded her sluggish subordinates. She had been here watching the strategy guide with Charlotte for a long time, and these subordinates were just leisurely arriving now. This was seriously damaging to the Holy Knights’ usual swift and decisive style.
However, judging by their appearance, no one was affected by the giant dragon’s attacks. The combat strength of the Holy Knights was intact.
“Warriors! To protect our homeland, follow me! Charge that evil dragon that is causing trouble everywhere!”
Alice drew the longsword from her waist, pointing the blade at the evil dragon in the distance.
Seeing Alice draw her longsword, Charlotte suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
But she quickly shook the feeling off and rushed in front of Alice to stop her.
“Wait a minute! You can’t lead your subordinates into such danger! Don’t send your subordinates to their deaths! The giant dragon is surrounded by a strong True Chaos Magic aura. If you rush in rashly, your magical power will be useless, and you’ll suffer heavy losses!”
“Don’t worry, Witch-sama!” However, Alice showed no fear. “We are the Holy Knights, the strongest warriors in this world. We are different from you witches who specialize in magic. We can still fight with our weapons even without relying on magical power.”
“But how can you defeat such a massive creature with just yourselves?”
“That’s true, but we also have Witch-sama here, don’t we? Although Witch-sama cannot approach the giant dragon, if we can destroy the source of the True Chaos Magic aura, you can unleash your greatest advantage and fight alongside us to completely slay this evil dragon!”
Charlotte was momentarily speechless, unable to find words to refute Alice.
Alice merely smiled faintly.
“Witch-sama, the job of providing cover is yours!”
Leaving those words, Alice led the highly motivated Holy Knights and charged toward the distant evil dragon.
Watching them charge toward the giant dragon, Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“What a bunch of hot-blooded idiots! Aren’t they afraid at all?”
After tucking the silver dagger into her waistband, Charlotte mounted her broomstick and flew up into the sky, slowly approaching the giant dragon.
At this moment, the forest around the giant dragon was ablaze. The Holy Knight warriors would find it difficult to break through the fierce flames to reach the giant dragon’s feet.
To cover their movements, Charlotte gently waved her hand.
Instantly, countless ice spikes rained down from the sky, shooting into the flames and clearing a safe combat zone for the Holy Knights.
The Holy Knight warriors quickly broke through the layers of fire, reached the giant dragon’s vicinity, and surrounded it.
Noticing the incoming enemies, the giant dragon launched a series of powerful attacks at the warriors.
However, as experienced Holy Knight warriors, they were not easily rattled by such simple attacks.
The warriors in the front blocked the giant dragon’s attacks with their shields, while the warriors behind them drew their swords and began chopping at the dragon’s body.
They maintained perfect cooperation, their attack and defense rhythms completely synchronized. Under Alice’s command, their combat strength was like a tiger given wings.
Even Charlotte, flying in the sky, couldn’t help but be impressed.
“Wow, as expected of the Holy Knight warriors. They can run around under that thing’s feet, enduring the True Chaos Magic aura!”
However, even so, their attacks failed to inflict any substantial damage on the giant dragon.
“The armor is too tough! It’s blunting my sword!”
“My shield is about to give out!”
“Damn it! Where did this thing come from?”
Although their will to fight was unbroken, their equipment was gradually wearing down.
Once the durability of their weapons and armor reached zero, no matter how confident they were, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to the giant dragon.
“Commander, do we continue this attrition battle?”
The deputy beside Alice asked.
Alice, who had been observing the situation, shifted her gaze to the dragon’s chest.
That was the spot where the dragon’s scales were relatively sparse. Perhaps they could break through the dragon’s skin there and inflict substantial damage to its body.
