Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 132:
Ch . 119
Episode 45 – Truth or Lies (2)
ZIIINNNNNNNG
The exploding sound of the Dragon Breath was unique .
It wasn’t a normal sound – it was out of this world .
Then, there was an exploding sound
It sounded more like the end of the world rather than a simple explosion .
KKKKRRRRGGGGGGG
Afterwards, a strong vibration . This strong vibrating sound spread out in all directions .
Water and dust exploded upwards, covering the sky . It seemed as if the Island of Knocking would disappear from the face of this planet .
However… .
(…Impressive . )
The Bone Dragon knew it had lost . It knew its Breath had failed him, and that the little brat, the one whom had been its target to kill, was still alive . This was an unexpected result .
(You may be young, but looks like you are truly the son of that traitor . ) The Dragon murmured softly, as if truly astonished . The vibration calmed, and the cloud of dust started to settle . Then, what the dragon saw was an astonishing sight .
“… . . ”
Ian wasn’t dead .
The island wasn’t destroyed either .
Instead, it was frozen cold .
Ian had cast the “Shield of Ice” from the seawater all around them in a split moment, big enough to protect the whole island . It normally would have been impossible to do, but this time was different .
CRRAAACCCKK CRRAACK CRRAAACCKK
Of course, it was impossible to sustain the shield for a long time . Cracks started to form on the shield, and eventually shattered into pieces . It didn’t matter whether mana had been used or not . It was the durability of the shield that was important, and it was no longer able to hold itself together .
“That’s what I want to say . ” Ian said quietly . He floated up in the air to look at the dragon in the eye . He floated a little higher than the dragon, so it wouldn’t look at him from above .
“You’re nothing but a skeleton, but I suppose you’re still a dragon . ”
(I was going to end this for you painlessly . )
Ian could feel the anger in the Bone Dragon’s tone .
Ian had crossed a line with his rudeness .
At least, that’s what the Bone Dragon thought .
“I’ve been thinking out it constantly . ” Ian murmured as he summoned his infinite mana, ready to fight . His opponent was a dragon . Its body only served as vessel made of bones, but wasn’t it exercising its powers as well? On top of that, it was unhindered and confident in himself .
“But I’m really not sure this time . ”
Ian pressed his fingers against his temples .
He felt calmer that way .
“You asked if I was sure everything was according to my will . I’ll admit it – I’m not sure myself . Can I prove that I wasn’t played with? Same with that too . It’s not easy proving that either . ” Ian said truthfully .
It was true . This was hard to answer .
He was always deeply confused when it came to this question, and it was the case with now as well .
“I’m pretty confident I’m not the idiotic type . But I really don’t know either . I might need more time to think about this…” Ian said . He moved on .
He hadn’t solved this issue yet .
He was only pushing off it off for now .
“Let’s cut to the point . ” Ian murmured as he looked out to sea . “For now, I decided to believe what I can . ”
(How amusing . What are you so sure about?)
“Well, first of all,” Ian said as he gesturing with his hands, and the waves started to ripple . “I’m not dying today . ”
It wasn’t a simple lap of the waves .
A cold energy ascended above the water .
“And this is an opportunity I don’t get often .
Ian had been enjoying using cold spells, and since Class 5, he has created his own .
Of all the spells he had created from both this life and previous one, 70% was a freezing spell . Therefore…
“In this kind of environment . . I have a slight advantage . ”
An environment like this .
The middle of the ocean .
It was a natural battlefield where Ian could exercise his talents and interests at heart to its fullest .

“Stronger . ” Ian murmured softly, and the lapping waves exploded up to the air and froze in its place . Thousands of pillars of ice had been formed in a matter of seconds .
KRROOMM KKRRRRMM
The pillars of ice showered over the dragon . It just seemed like thousands, but it was no different from having an infinite number of ice pillars, since they kept forming . Unless the sea dried up, it was possible to form an infinite amount of attacks with an infinite amount of mana . That wasn’t all .
“Ice Boom . ”
This was a spell that he had used earlier against the dragon soldiers .
There was an explosion of ice sounding in every direction, and it was more powerful on a different level, one would have believed it to be a completely different spell .
“Sir Clevan!”
As soon as Ian started his attack on the dragon with the ice pillars and explosions, the inhabitants of the island called out for Clevan . Clevan knew why they were calling out for him .
“Number 2! Number 3, 5 and 7!”
“Grrrrr!”
“Krrrr”
Maybe it was because of their attribute of being unable to die . Clevean looked quite joyful even in this situation that meant life or death . No – he actually was joyful .
