I Was Reincarnated As A Dragon
Chapter 26: Hunting for Dinner

After the awaited help came I immediately invited Sira to leave from there so that my existence does not interfere and scare the incoming reinforcements soldiers.

I was flying high enough in the air so much fun, I could see all sorts of amazing natural beauty meadows, streams, lakes, blooming flowers, and also the countryside.

"Ahhh.. This is so beautiful! the air was also clean and soothing different from when I was inside the labyrinth."

"I'll enjoy this a little longer."

I then flew around above the forest enjoying the view of the shady trees that looked glittering in the sunlight, this would be a sight I would never forget.

"Yup that's where he's headed."

Long enough to fly finally I reached my destination, it was a meadow filled with very beautiful flowers and also fragrant of course.

"Hey Sira! we've arrived." I called Sira.

"Sira!?"

Is he asleep?

"Sira!? are you all right?"

"Um... hello?"

Several times I called out to him but I didn't get any answers, maybe he was sleeping, but I felt he was holding on very tightly to my horn and a sleeping person couldn't possibly be like that.

Then I made a mirror crystal to see her condition and it was true that she was still awake, it's just that he held on very tightly with all four of his legs coiled around my horns with his eyes closed and with claws coming out.

Sira really looks like a very soft lump of fur.

"Ano... Sira! we're here, don't you want to come down?"

After seeing her state I canceled my mirror magic and then called out to her once again with a slight shake of my head.

"Y-yeah...! sorry sir"

Shuttts

Sira then jumped down from the top of my head and immediately lay on the ground,

now he's like a fur carpet, just seeing him makes me want to hug him, but unfortunately he's too small so I'd better give up my intentions.

Zzz... Zz..

Uh...! he's sleeping, maybe he's tired, I better not bother him.

.

.

.

Ah.. cute.

I kept looking at her without turning my face away, she was so cute and adorable while sleeping, I didn't want to stop looking at her, hehe.

Crickets

"ukhh, hungry, but I have eaten enough people in the capital."

"I'd rather find another meal now that it's late, I'll prepare dinner."

I then went into the forest to look for something to eat and left Sira asleep in the meadow.

.

"Hmm... am I too tall or are the trees here too small?" I said confusedly while looking at the trees around.

When I entered the forest I was a little confused by the size of the trees that were no farther than my body especially when I stood up and walked on two legs, the trees around here looked small, but the more I get into this forest of trees also the higher.

Glad to know I thought my height was abnormal because the previous trees looked small, it turned out that it was only because the trees were young.

"Hm hm hm. food... food..."

I hummed a little as I walked cheerfully through the large shady trees, the forest was quite moist, but it was also warm because there was sunlight coming in through the leaves, and also this place is not as humid as the labyrinth that feels very cold and pressing air.

I love this forest clean and fresh air, warm sunshine and most importantly no stinging smell from monsters.

"What did I eat tonight? hmm.. well, whatever is important can be eaten."

Srkkk

The Krakkkk Krakkkk

"What's that?!"

Suddenly I heard the sound of leaves rubbing against each other accompanied by the sound of fallen trees and branches breaking like something big was walking towards me.

[Eyes of vision ]

"Wooaaaa...! it's snake! big snake!" I said with glee.

"yoshh.it is my prey, let's hunt, hehehehe." Continue with a wicked laugh.

Slowly I began to approach the snake and scout it behind the trees, this was the largest snake I had ever seen, black scales with two red stripes on the left and right sides, he said, the fiery red eyes with sharp serrations resembling thorns around his neck, were extremely sinister.

It looks scary, but to me it was a tempting dinner.

The meat must be plentiful and thick, I can't wait to bake it, hehehehe.

Sssssss

Ah. He saw me.

Shhttt!!

"Yeah!!"

"Uhhh..lt's almost!"

The snake monster hissed and stared at me as if he knew my presence already, yes he knew I had accidentally wagged my tail and hit the tree behind me, it made a noise.

How foolish I was, excited just to see a snake with thick flesh, had I really lost my mind.

Luckily the snake did not go and instead directly attacked me with a spear made of earth magic even though it did not resemble a spear, he said, it was more akin to an umbrella that was closed in short a gnarled earth mound that floated.

Luckily the attack wasn't too fast so I was able to dodge it very easily, the attack then hit a large tree behind me and instantly the tree fell down, but such an attack would never be able to break through the defenses of my dragon scales.

My scales are the absolute defense that I have and are hard to break even more so this monster is fairly weak so I can boast of my defense, if only he were a strong monster maybe I would have thought twice about doing this.

"It's my turn to be a snake! feel this!"

Cruss

.

.

.

Craahhhhhh!!

.

.

Bruck

I spouted ice onto the ground and created sharp crystal mounds that directly hit the body of the snake monster, instantly he screamed and instantly fell down, it seemed like my attack had managed to make a few holes in his body, even I can see his cracked scales.

"Yeahhhh. One fatal attack for you snake." I said with excitement.

I then approached the snake monster's body to see if he was really dead or not.

"Did he die?!"

Shhtt

"akh"

Whatisthis? why can't my body move? it felt like there was a strong pull pulling me down, is this possibly gravity?! he can use gravity magic!

"Aghhhh!!! fuck you snake!!"

[Frozen eyes ]

With all my might I moved my hand and immediately grabbed the snake by the neck and then used frozen eye magic to freeze the area of its head and then smash it to pieces.

After successfully killing him I was again able to move my body freely without the burden of gravitational pull again.

"That was so close, snakes can't be trusted." I'm a little upset.

Without letting go of my grip I dragged the headless snake's body out of the forest to then bake it as dinner.

.

.

.

"Hmm... gravity huh?! if I could master it it would definitely be very useful." I said as I walked dragging the snake monster's body.

Long enough to walk, I was finally able to get out of the forest and go back to where Sira slept.

Uh...! he's still sleeping, let me not be noisy so as not to disturb his sleep.

"I'm back." Say it slowly.

It's getting dark, I better get my food ready.

Because it was too cool to hunt I did not realize that it was getting dark, the sunset was indeed very beautiful, but I had to finish making food and then sleep, I don't know why I was so sleepy when it wasn't that late.

I then dismembered the snake monster's body into pieces to make it easier to roast, how did I cut it? of course using wind magic.

And why can I use wind magic? yes because the element that I have mastered is the ice element, ice is the advanced magic element that is a combination of water and wind, I also only found out after trying many things, hehe.

in addition to ice, wind and water I also mastered various other elements such as fire and earth that imitated magic from the monsters I had defeated, the only magic element that I did not master was lightning, lightning, no monsters use it.

After I finished cutting I immediately roasted it by putting each piece of meat on top of a crystal spear that was stuck high and then with a slight burst of fire all the meat was immediately grilled perfectly.

"Yoshh. Time to wake Sira up."

"Sira, it's dinner time."

I then woke up Sira for dinner, slowly she started to wake up and move her body.

But it seems that he woke up feeling a little guilty and apologized for having fallen asleep while I was hunting to prepare a meal, to calm him down I said that it was no problem, because it doesn't matter to me.

After being calm enough I then thrust the food in front of him as dinner, we immediately ate the food greedily while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.

"A very revealing look, Sira." Saying to him.

"Yes, sir." Legally.

I saw a really beautiful night scene that was absolutely stunning, a stretch of colorful and glittering stars accompanied by the bright light of a shining moon, it was hard to forget all of this.

"Hoahhhhhh. Good night, Sira." With a slight yawn I said good night to Sira.

Slowly I lay down and began to close my eyes, this drowsiness I could no longer endure quickly I fell asleep soundly in the light of the moon, with grass and heavy expanse of stars in the night sky, what I did yesterday was so I could feel all this, but unfortunately only me and Sira could enjoy it, next time I would invite others to see it.

I hope tomorrow will be a good day...
