The dragon took another two steps. As long as it kept moving, the adventurers could not approach safely. Nadia pushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear and shouted a command.

“Everyone, ready yourselves! We’ll stop the dragon where it stands!”

At her order, the mages unleashed all the magic they had to bring the dragon to a halt and keep it still. The monster’s legs sunk into pitfalls, and the chunks of ice waiting within attached to its limbs like quicksand, blocking the dragon from any further forward movement. Rocky manacles of the magical variety then wrapped around the huge beast’s legs, further anchoring it to the earth.

The mages then focused their efforts on maintaining their spells and blocking any counterattacks by pummeling the dragon’s face with giant “fists” of earth and ice magic. While they did this, Zack’s forces rushed in, their eyes set on the dragon’s tail and wings. As the dragon twisted its neck and opened its mouth to let loose a furious roar, Nadia’s fire magic was waiting for it, the searing heat of her spells silencing the monster in an instant. But even then the beast continued to struggle to break free, and as it writhed, fractures opened along its magical binds—fractures that were quickly sealed with deft spellwork.

The mages continued to pummel the dragon while the supply squad provided them with magical recovery potions. They had to keep up the offensive to stop the dragon from retaliating, and so far things looked good—the dragon could do little more than let out short grunts under the pressure.

“Storydia’s mages are incredible!” said Frol. “I’ve never seen anything like this!”

He had been told that Storydia’s adventurers were kind and generous, but their merciless assault on the dragon left him pale with awe as he raised his sword and attempted to plunge its blade into the monster’s wing. Unfortunately for him, the blade slid away, leaving him scrambling not to drop his weapon entirely.

“What the—?!” he exclaimed, stumbling as he was carried forward by the momentum of his failed strike.

Clemens, too, attempted to thrust his pitch-black dual blades into a softer part of the dragon’s wing, but quickly discovered that he couldn’t—the blades didn’t catch, and instead slid along the wing’s surface.

What is going on?

The two peered at the dragon’s wing and saw a thick liquid oozing along its surface.

“What is that...?!”

The monster’s bat-like wings were covered in very thin, narrow feathers, and appeared to secrete an oil which kept them from drying out, providing a water-repellant effect.

“Damn thing’s just full of tricks!” said Frol.

“Oh no—our shoes!” shouted Clemens, having just noticed what had happened to their feet.

The sight was enough to make the blood drain from the men’s faces—their shoes were covered in the monster’s oil. Such a thing was fatal for a swordsman, as it would badly hamper one’s movement, making dodging and weaving almost impossible.

We need to wash them clean—but how?

Clemens’s first thought was to have a mage cast a stream of water over them, but he didn’t think that water alone, warm or otherwise, would be able to remove the beastly oil.
