Ogurr looked at me with a sharp gaze, the aura he emanated was that of great power, firmness, and unyielding defense, he was like a mountain made into a man, and his height of three meters and ten centimeters only made him more intimidating, we were almost the same height, but he was obviously more intimidating due to the ogre face he had and how he was some sort of special evolution of mountain giant named "Rock Mountain Giant"… or something like that.
"So you're up for the challenge, are you?" He said.
"Do you talk so much with every newbie?" I asked. "And if you're truly going all out against every newbie how does the guild gets any new adventurers?"
He was way too strong; does they make every new person go against this guy? Seriously? Like that the guild wouldn't have so many Rank 1 Adventurers. I guess he goes easy on them or probably qualifies them as how much potential they have even if he beats them. I am assuming a lot of stuff because this doesn't seem winnable, in fact this looks pretty hopeless, how the heck do newbies defeat this giant?
"Well if you're in such a hurry come at me." He said.
Perhaps I shouldn't show him all my true capabilities, or it would be a bit troublesome if I am revealed to be too strong… For now I will use Ice Magic and Wind Magic, and make it seem like I am just a magician. If I were to use any of my draconic skills, it would be too much for the man.
However, I am also a beast tamer, so I have to use some sort of beast… Frost and the others are too big and intimidating, but I got the perfect beast for the occasion! And no, it is not Belle, she uses dream magic and that's a rare magic that might be even seen as a taboo due to one of the Demon Venerables using it.
So, we are using a different strategy and using the one and only Fuyu in her slime form! Her slime form pretty much is a simple Rank 1 Ice Slime, so its perfect. She can only use a small amount of her real body mana and abilities into it, but that should be enough to be able to let her fight.
"I am actually a beast tamer, so can I bring my tamed monster?" I asked.
"Yeah, bring whatever little rat you tamed." Said Ogurr.
"Fuyu, come out." I said, as Fuyu suddenly jumped out of the inside of my clothes, surprising everyone. She was around 50 centimeters big, no bigger than a medium-sized dog, and she was a cute pale blue blob with a small little crown made of ice on top of her "head". She looked a lot like Rimuru, she even had the same eyes.
The people around us looked at Fuyu and were a bit surprised, they didn't expected a cute slime to come out of my clothes, but here she was ready for a fight! Fuyu spoke to me through telepathy though, and she seemed a bit nervous.
"I am actually quite weak in this body, Drake… Is this really okay?" She wondered.
"Yeah, trust me and just fight with everything you got, I will also use wind and ice magic in moderation." I told her through telepathy.
"Okay… I trust you then." She answered.
We looked at Ogurr as he grabbed his blade and then provoked us to attack him.
"Now come on and fight, I am not a tree o be sitting here all-day bathing in the sun."
FLAAASH!
"Eh?!"
Suddenly, Fuyu jumped? from the ground so fast she surprised Ogurr more than he had ever believed she would be able to move, as she clashed against him! However, he managed to intercept her with his blade, clashing against her and pushing her away into the skies.
CLAAASH!
"That's a speedy slime, but that won't do- Ngh?!"
Ogurr suddenly noticed that his entire blade was covered in ice, which was slowly spreading around his arm, all while I was also conjuring a small spell and pretending it was complicated to make.
"Slashing Winds!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Several wind waves clashed against Ogurr from his back, as I conjured the spell right behind him! the cutting winds reached his hard back, cutting through the hard rock-like skin and leaving some small wounds, which made him step back and realize my magical strength.
"You're not bad for a newbie!" He said with a defiant smile, as he suddenly encompassed his blade with mana and unleashed a strong slashing attack that released a deadly aura wave against us!
CLAAASH!
The powerful slash of aura reached me as I decided to erect a wall of ice resistant enough to not be pierced by this mere slash of a sword.
BOOM!
The ice barrier emerged, and it defended me well, but it quickly shattered into pieces, well, I made it do that to create a sense of strength of the attack, as if making them believe "I barely defended myself".
"Not bad, not bad- Agh!"
However, the man quickly realized that Fuyu was slowly covering his legs with a coverture of ice, making his movements sloppy and hard, he quickly tried to break the ice by forcing his legs to move, but that only gave us the advantage, as I formed several Wind Bullets and fired them at him with great precision and speed!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The wind bullets hit the man's back once more, and I also targeted his legs, breaking the ice for him but also making him trip over the ground.
CLAAAASH!
"W-What the?!" He asked in disbelief, trying to fight back as I reached him, his blade attempted to slash me several times, but I evaded by my moving around swiftly with extreme ease, it was quite easy to evade, like the flow of water itself, serenity was the key.
"Y-You're evading my blows?!" He asked, as I reached him and the gathered wind in my hand, punchinig him and blowing him into the ground again.
BOOOOMMM!!!
"Aaagghh…!"
Ogurr looked at me while gritting his teeth in surprise.
"I think I won."
