Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2122: Dinosaurs (1)

For a moment, the sabertooth tiger stared at our group before lunging straight at us without warning.

Its target turned out to be one of the younger magicians from the Sorcery Empire.

At first glance, he seemed like nothing more than a young man.

But that impression was only skin deep.

Not a single person stirred as the sabertooth tiger charged toward the young magician.

They all understood there was no reason to step in.

"You actually dare to think I’m prey?"

Even as a young scholar and magician, he wasn’t lacking in pride. Becoming a magician was no simple task to begin with.

The sabertooth tiger’s actions amounted to nothing less than a direct insult to him.

A mere flick of his hand conjured a barrier right in the beast’s path. Blind to the magical shield forming ahead, the sabertooth tiger smashed headlong into it.

Upon colliding with the magic barrier, a stunned and baffled expression crossed the sabertooth tiger’s face.

This appeared to be the beast’s very first encounter with magic, explaining its bewilderment at the invisible obstacle.

Yet the young magician wasn’t finished there.

As a flame-attuned magician, he could summon fire with just a thought.

This time around, he held nothing back.

He drew his staff and poured a massive amount of mana into it, unleashing a torrent of flames. The sheer volume made it clear he was going all out.

Clearly, the sabertooth tiger’s underestimation had ignited his fury.

Meanwhile, utter shock mixed with utter confusion dominated the sabertooth tiger’s features, leaving it clueless about the unfolding events.

I watched this scene with intense focus.

My goal was to gauge exactly how stunned the sabertooth tiger was by the young magician’s display of magic.

The beast’s reaction suggested it had never witnessed magic in its life.

With flames engulfing the sabertooth tiger completely, all it could manage now was...

"Purr..."

What an bizarre spectacle it was, this massive sabertooth tiger behaving like a submissive house cat.

Seeing this, a flicker of pride surfaced on the young magician’s face, though confusion and awkwardness overshadowed it since he wasn’t sure what to do next.

He hadn’t intended to slay the creature—just to punish it for singling him out as the group’s weakest link.

"Let me try using taming magic on it." An older magician suddenly volunteered.

Relief washed over the young magician at these words, and he nodded eagerly in agreement.

The older magician stepped up, lifting his staff to aim at the sabertooth tiger.

At first, the sabertooth tiger seemed to resist some invisible force, but soon its expression softened into relaxation. It even gazed at the magicians with what looked like joy.

"Taming magic...it certainly seems interesting." A twinge of envy stirred in me at the sight, though I brushed it away quickly.

With the taming magic complete, we approached for a closer inspection of the now-tamed sabertooth tiger.

The beast offered no resistance as we crowded around it.

At a simple order from its tamer, the older magician, it even performed tricks on command.

The sabertooth tiger was utterly obedient to that magician’s will.

Up close, it matched the descriptions from my previous life’s books perfectly—no alterations despite this being a magical world.

Earlier events confirmed the sabertooth tiger had zero prior exposure to magic.

This prehistoric realm felt utterly cut off from the outside world.

"Well, it’s certainly a good thing that these prehistoric creatures aren’t able to use magic or else we would have magic dinosaurs. Dinosaurs on their own are already terrifying enough, but give them magic as well..."

A wry chuckle escaped me inwardly as that idea crossed my thoughts.

After studying the sabertooth tiger a while longer, I declared, "Let’s go and see if we can find anything else. Let’s not forget the main reason that we came down here in the first place."

Before anyone could reply, another deafening roar echoed through the air.

This one dwarfed the sabertooth tiger’s earlier cry in volume.

The roar shook the very air around us, vibrating the space itself.

"Thump, thump."

The origin of those heavy footsteps soon came into view.

It embodied the dinosaurs—a species legendary from my past life.

A race known to all in my previous existence.

From its enormous body and razor-sharp teeth to those ridiculously tiny arms.

Often hailed as the tyrant king among dinosaurs.

"What is that huge thing?"

That’s how the others reacted, unfamiliar with this particular dinosaur.
