"Ho!"
With the roar of the dragon, countless huge fireballs fell from the sky, smashing the fortress castle into pieces and causing countless Imperial soldiers inside to die or be injured.
"Don't just stand there and kill that thing!"
"Guards, take the villagers to a safe place!"
"Oh, I'm on fire! Quick, save me!"
"Oh my God, our attack is ineffective against it!"
Facing the sudden appearance of the giant dragon, even the most elite soldiers of the empire were scared.
Under General Tulius's command, the imperial soldiers launched a counterattack at Odain swiftly.
Countless sharp arrows shot out, among which there were also many powerful magic arrows and magic performed by imperial mages.
However, these attacks fell on Odain as if they were itching, causing no harm at all.
On the contrary, Odain belched a stream of dragon fire, and it left a trail of death and injury below.
Desperately, General Tulius had to organize the soldiers to lead the villagers in town to evacuate urgently and hide in the underground base of Fortress Town.
And at the very first appearance of Oduin, George forcibly broke the ropes binding his hands.
Later, he grabbed a long sword from an imperial soldier and also freed Ufurik and Larof and others.
For him, it's a piece of cake.
He doesn't intend to join the Storm Cloak, but tying a good karma along the way may be useful in the future.
Even if he didn't help, Ufurik and others would be able to find a chance to escape soon, so the outcome would still be the same.
"Thank you, let's go over there!"
Ufurik and Larof, who were rescued by George, first thanked him and then tried to pull him along with them to the tower on the right side to avoid Odain's attacks.
But George waved his hand to refuse.
"It's no big deal, we'll meet again by chance."
George threw away his imperial long sword and charged straight towards the entrance of the fortress.
The dragonfire balls summoned by Oduin were deadly to others, but to him, it was just a regular thing.
Even without using any magic to resist, the fireballs that struck him would only burn his clothes, causing no harm to his body.
Furthermore, with his speed, he could dodge them precisely.
Instead of joining the Ufurik and Larof into the underground channel to be entangled with dragon blood and imperial soldiers, he would rather leave the Sanctuary Town directly and get away from the dragon god Aka's line of sight.
Dodging left and right, he knocked down any imperial soldiers who got in his way, and under the condition of not attracting Oduin's attention above, he quickly made his way to the original entrance along the shadows of the buildings.
It's not that he feared Oduin. To begin with, Oduin is currently fighting the three heroes and has been banished for two thousand years, and his strength is only ten percent of its original form. Even at its peak, Oduin's actual power was not as strong as a god.
His strength in this world is also a pretty good god level.
It's just that the power of a god can only be fully utilized in their own space, and it cannot be wielded with much effect in the present world.
Of course, this is just his speculation based on his gaming experience.
But it cannot be taken as a fundamental basis.
Gaming is gaming, and reality is reality; the things in games can only serve as a rough measure.
The specific situation will depend on how he judges it himself.
With his current strength, he can feel whether he can beat it or not if he encounters it, and whether it poses a threat or not.
At least for now, according to his own sense, the Oduin above him does not pose much of a threat to him.
However, he cannot currently access his energy at will, relying only on his physical strength, so it's uncertain.
Therefore, if possible, he would avoid conflict and also consider not being noticed by the dragon god Aka.
"Locked."
Upon arriving at the entrance of the fortress, George found that the door was locked and couldn't be opened normally.
At this point, if he could use an unlocking spell, it wouldn't be a problem. However, since he couldn't access his magic power now, he had to think of another solution.
"Leap over it?"
After checking the height of the entrance, he shook his head after comparing it to Oduin, who was still soaring above the fortress.
The fortress gate was high, but it was nothing to him. He could easily jump over it with a slight leap.
But doing so would inevitably draw the attention of Oduin.
Therefore, he chose a more direct and effective method.
Half-leaning, George leaned his body against the gate, and with one powerful kick from his back foot, he made a hole in the thick gate in the shape of a human, and then easily escaped from Sanctuary Town.
Compared to the chaos in Sanctuary Town at the moment, the noise of him smashing the door was negligible and would not attract the attention of anyone or any dragon.
"I never expected, as a mage, I would have to use this method to open the door."
After escaping from Sanctuary Town, George looked back at Oduin, who was still circling above Sanctuary Town and spewing fire. He smiled and shook his head, then lifted his foot and began to walk north along the road.
If he remembered correctly, the nearest Riverwood Town should be to the north of Sanctuary Town.
"Find a way to get some money first."
As he was walking towards Riverwood Town, George began to plan his next steps.
He intended to stay in Riverwood Town for a couple of days first, and then buy some books from the town's shops to get a more detailed understanding of this real world.
Then he would visit Xemnas City and take a look around, and finally take a carriage to Winterfell to study magic at the Winterfell Magic Academy in this world.
Once he learned magic in this world, he could then access the energy inside him.
According to the words of Iluvatar, not using magic from outside this world would make it less likely for him to be discovered.
Moreover, the best way to collect knowledge of the new world is to learn its magic, as nothing is more in tune with the nature of the world than magic.
But all of these depended on him having money.
It's the same problem; because he cannot use magic from outside this world, he cannot simply conjure gold and gems with a gesture as he usually would with transmutation spells.
In fact, when he was leaving, he had thought about whether he should take advantage of the situation like in the game, and steal a few sets of imperial soldier's armor for sale.
But then he rejected this idea.
In the game, all the weapons and armor acquired could be sold at blacksmiths and general stores for money, but this is not a game.
If he really took the stolen imperial-style weapons and armor to blacksmiths and general stores, he might be caught by the guards of the town before his feet touched the ground.
Moreover, he could not use his own world or space magic to carry a large amount of weapons and armor.
"Or should I collect some alchemical materials along the way?"
In the game, you can also sell materials collected from the side of the road to make money by making various potions.
But looking around at all the plants, he rejected the idea again.
Similarly, with all the weeds scattered on the ground, he couldn't distinguish which ones could be used as ingredients for potions in this new world.
