Chapter 2: II. Peculiar Encounter
The structure holding the gates in place is on the brink of collapse, and if it falls, there is a risk that both of the child and her mother may be struck by its debris. Despite the danger, the civilians in the area quickly flee, without offering any help to the two.
Meanwhile, the ferocious dragon continues to rampage through the town, wreaking havoc by smashing buildings to pieces and scattering debris everywhere.
Although the townspeople occasionally shoot small arrows at the monster, its scaly skin remains Impenetrable.
This small town seems to be lacking in terms of proper security measures to counteract such potentially catastrophic situations.
I gradually took a few steps back, then a few more, overwhelmed by a fear I had never experienced before. Despite ashamed for my lack of courage, I made the conscious decision not to lend a hand to those in need, adopting the role of a mere spectator. Eventually, I turned around with the sole purpose of leaving the scene.
Soaring through the vast expanse of the sky, effortlessly gliding and piercing through each cloud that came its way, a ray of vibrant yellow light slowly emerged in the distance. Gradually growing larger and brighter with each passing moment, the-
SWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH-
Initially, there is a moment of absolute tranquility and stillness, until-
BOOOOOOOOOM.
As the light passed through the sky above me, heading towards the dragon, the force of its movement caused fallen leaves to fly, branches to be torn off, and flower petals to soar through the air.
Unfortunately, I too was caught in the shockwave and was knocked down from the hill where I had been standing.
Ow! OW! OW!!
I was launched into motion, bouncing and tumbling through soil, grass, and debris until finally came to a stop at the base of the hill. There, I found myself amidst a group of civilians who had been fleeing from the nearby town.
"Hello there," A knight in armor greeted me politely while I was on the ground,
The person carries holds an oversized piece of metal that has been crafted into the shape of a shield, adorned with intricate engravings and jewels. Despite its considerable weight, He seems to be able to carry it with considerable ease.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the armor he wears is rather ordinary, made of simple metal, similar to what soldiers wear a while ago. Notably, there are visible dents on some parts of the armor.
After my descent from tumbling down the hill, I found myself in a position where I was directly facing him. Suddenly, strange symbols in the form of bright blue circles were starting to manifest at the top of the dragon's head.
These symbols are formed layer by layer as if materializing out of thin air. In a split second, the ray of light from before shot down from the center of the circles and struck the dragon's head. The impact stunned the monster and caused a shockwave, although it was not powerful enough to kill it.

She wears a yellow dress that has been slightly torn, yet still manages to impressively maintain her high heels. It is as if she just came from a formal gathering. The girl's short hair in a stunning lapis color sways in the wind she created from the impact. Despite her captivating appearance, her facial expression remains emotionless as she gazes into my line of sight, leaving me awestruck by her as I remain on the ground.
All of a sudden, with no warning, the mighty dragon's massive wings stirred and swooped down towards her, mercilessly launching her away with a powerful force.
She hurtled through air, colliding harshly with the sturdy wooden and concrete walls of nearby houses.
Surprisingly, she seemed to have survived the brutal attack unscathed but then again, this is a fantasy world we are talking about. Witnessing this perilous act, an armored man equipped with a colossal shield sprang into action, hastily towards the town to assist her.
"Celesty!! Waaait!!!" he screamed as he ran towards the dragon.
It's a rather cute name for such an emotionless face.
