Chapter 123 - I Caused a Flash Flood

I Caused a Flash Flood

‘Proud Wolf! Head to the next river!’

‘Are we going to watch it again!?’

The Proud Wolf asked.

But...if it managed to cross the next river, then it would be able to reach the town.

This was no time to watch it quietly.

‘No...This time, we move! We’re going to stop that Fire Dragon!’

‘But the river wasn’t enough. How are you going to stop it!?’

‘It’s impossible!’

‘We’ll be evaporated!’

The Proud Wold and slimes were not optimistic.

But–I didn’t intend on facing the Fire Dragon head-on.

‘I’m going to make a barrier upstream and stop the flow of water! And then just as the Fire Dragon approaches, I’ll bring it down!’

This river was in a ravine.

In other words, stopping the water wouldn’t cause a flood. It would just fill up the ravine.

So I just needed to make a temporary dam that I could destroy when the dragon came near.

‘You’re going to stop the river!?’

‘Yeah. ...Then you won’t have to get close to the Fire Dragon.’

‘That’s true!’

‘...That’s amazing! How did you think of such a plan!?’

The Proud Wolf and slimes said as they descended to the bottom of the ravine.

As they were monsters, they did not hesitate when going down the cliffs.

‘Around here!?’

‘No, go more upstream. There’s no point in creating a damn if you are downstream of the Fire Dragon!’

‘Understood!’

After the slimes moved away from the river, I started to block the flow of water.

‘Magic Transfer—Anti-physical Barrier!’

The barrier came up just as I finished chanting, and the river’s flow was stopped.

Eventually, the water downriver went away...as the water behind the barrier built up.

“...One barrier might not be enough.”

I muttered as I watched the scene through Shared Senses.

The barrier was starting to creak as the water behind it rose.

The pressure being applied was incredible.

I decided to add a few layers as a precaution.

‘Magic Transfer—Anti-physical Barrier!’

After that, the creaking stopped.

If I wanted to be absolutely sure it wouldn’t break, I could use the Suppression Isolation Barrier. But that used so much MP and would have been overkill.

‘...It’s coming!’

As we waited, the Fire Dragon approached the river.

It seemed like most of the energy it had lost had now recovered. And it had returned to its normal pace.

‘Not yet. Wait a little more.’

There was no point in doing this unless we waited for the right moment when the Fire Dragon passed us.

I looked at the location of the river and the speed of the dragon through Shared Senses.

And then—

‘Deactivate!’

I deactivated the barrier just as the Fire Dragon came close to the river.

All of the water that had been stored up now came crashing down with a thunderous roar.

The trees that were growing near the river’s edge were swept away.

And yet the Fire Dragon seemed to barely notice as it rushed on ahead.

There was no water where it was walking.

The ravine was quite deep...but the Fire Dragon was able to jump down without injuring itself.

“GAAAAARRGRGGHH!!”

The fire dragon roared as it began to climb up the cliffs to reach the other side.

It was just then—that the muddy rush of water slammed into it.
