Mischievous Little Dragon

Currently, Alicia is running for her life. Behind her was a ten star earth rhino. Its whole body was covered in one of the hardest materials within the Kingdom of Alastine. It was ranked tenth on the hardest materials on the planet list. The earth rhino was known to be highly aggressive and loved to eat humans. It's hard shell armor and the spikes that protruded out of each armor piece made the earth rhino a very challenging opponent.

"Loeri why the hell did you do that!?" At this point Alicia did not care if she cursed, she was being chased by a damn tank on legs!

"How was I supposed to know it would react in that way!?" Loeri complained. Her tone of voice was as if she had been accused wrongly for the predicament they were currently in.

"Anything would get mad and go on a rampage if you blew fire up its butt! What were you doing near its butt anyway!?" Alicia could not fathom that the prideful dragon would go and sniff an earth rhino's butt! Not only did she sniff its butt she blew fire up it!

"I was only checking where it had been! I just so happened to have sneezed in the process..." Loeri could not understand why Alicia was getting mad. It was not like she "meant" to do it. When she sniffed she smelt something that tickled her little nose and she sneezed and when she sneezed a puff of flame just so happened to shoot out of her mouth and up the earth rhino's butt!

"How does sniffing its butt tell you where it has been!? How would you even know where it had been since you were staying at the pond for so long!?" Alicia yelled out.

"Now that you mention it… I guess you're right. Ahaha. " Loeri who was positioned on top of Alicia's head let out a light embarrassed laugh.

"Ahahaha... Ahahaha... Yourself! Ah, geez it just won't give up!" Alicia saw that the stupid earth rhino had no intention of letting them off and she actually did not blame it. But she still would not stand idly and let her or Loeri get hurt. So she stopped running and turned around while drawing her sword from its sheath!

Berlin who was still in fact following them had seen the whole thing just now and was doing his best to not burst out laughing at the scene. Although this was a dangerous situation for Alicia she was still fine. Berlin could tell Alicia would be able to handle it.

With sword in hand, Alicia stood her ground. "Mr. Earth Rhino. My friend and I are very sorry for burning your butt. Can you please forgive us this one time?" Alicia figured she would try to reason with the stupid earth rhino. Luckily the earth rhino stopped its charge when it heard Alicia's question.

"Roar, roar roar roar!" The earth rhino let out a series of roars.

"Loeri what did it say?" Alicia could tell it was saying something to them but did not know what it was.

"It said it would forgive you if you hand over the cute girl with the long tail to be my wife." Alicia looked at Loeri who did not seem to understand that the rhino was talking about herself.

"So do you want to marry an earth rhino?" Alicia grinned at Loeri causing Loeri to shiver.

"No way! Look at how big his fifth leg is and look at the size of me!? How can I marry that! Plus it's so ugly and I am so cute! We do not match!" Loeri was disgruntled. The earth rhino was almost one hundred times bigger than her! How can Alicia ask such a dumb question?

Alicia did not know if she should laugh or scold Loeri for her words. This little dragon had a glib tongue! The earth rhino who was at the side listening felt like it was being stabbed by the little girl's sword over and over with every word the little dragon said. Not able to handle the embarrassment, the earth rhino roared out and charged once again!

Alicia had a feeling this would happen so she was already prepared and quickly got into stance. She waved her hand and for fifteen meters spreading out in front of her the ground turned into a sheet of ice that startled the earth rhino as it slipped and slid on the ice trying to catch its footing. The earth rhino let out an annoyed roar as it fell down on its butt. This scene caused the little dragon perched on her head to start laughing uncontrollably.

Alicia had no time to care about the silly dragon on her head as she slowly walked forward towards the earth rhino. She stood next to it and said: "If the two of us fight it will be a long and boring fight with neither winner or loser. It would be best if we just called a truce here. What do you say we go our own separate ways? I have already apologized, on my friend's behalf."

The earth rhino was not in a happy mood. But it understood what the little human meant. They would indeed be in for a long fight if this continued. "Roar, roar!"

"Ow!" Alicia knocked Loeri on the head with her hand and said: "Translate."

"It said fine, get rid of this ice field." Rubbing her head, Loeri mumbled about unfair treatment before finding a comfortable spot and closing her eyes. She was not going to pay attention to Alicia right now!

Alicia did as the earth rhino asked and got rid of the ice on the ground. The earth rhino staggered to get up before looking at Loeri, snorting and then walking away. Seeing the earth rhino walking away allowed Alicia to let out a sigh of relief. She had no means of actually fighting that earth rhino head on. Its armor was too tough and its star rank was too high. The most she could do was hold it off until her mana ran out. Then she would be left helpless. She at most would last a bit longer with just her sword but the strength of a ten star earth rhino surpassed hers by leaps and bounds.
