[Music Resonation (Moderate)] [Sanctified Blaze] [Various Spell Buffs] [Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Allegro)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
Without any further delay, the fight between two giant fire-spitting lizards began in the most appropriate way possible.
Kriiiaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Grigriiiaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Streams of crimson and bright red flas exploded out from our respective mouths like rockets, crashing onto each other, clashing together to form a massive fire wall. This only lasted a mont though, as the tides turned against the slazzigula, the severe difference in magical powers making itself known. My flas overpowered the enemys fire breath, pushing it back faster and faster as the seconds ticked down.
The slazzigula, realizing that it couldnt compete against in this manner, canceled its breath attack and jumped to the side, avoiding my dragon fire from hitting him. Displaying its nimbleness once again, the giant salamander landed on the tips of its feet and used this montum to sling its body forwards, flas swords forming around its carapace gauntlets.
Stat difference in our Intelligence. A massive one. It knows it and is going for close-combat, where it believes it excels more. Cant have that. Firing squad, go!
Nine of my parallel minds went into action, each activating a projectile spell from my spell list and blasting it at the slazzigula. Lightning, terra, storm, lava, sacred; my elental prowess forced the monster to slow down its advance, jumping side to side in an attempt to dodge my attacks, but even Saori cant dodge everything without using magic once Im serious.
Sadly, despite its slender form, the slazzigula was actually quite the bruiser according to its profile. Level eight and a focus on Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Stamina to facilitate roughhousing, and even its Wisdom wasnt too bad. My spells connected, damaging it considering its groans, but it continued charging forward like a raging bull. Just, instead of pointing its horns forward, its twin swords were directed at , now ready to spill blood.
Cant fight here. Too close to the others. Build so walls, were luring it away!
Although I wasnt watching their fight, I could hear spells colliding against each other under . High-pitched grunts, fury-filled shouts, and blood-curdling screams. I had to take off my party bracelet before transforming, aning I couldnt spectate as to what was going on their side. I was worried about them, but I had to concentrate on my fight.
Still, two mammoth-sized monsters rampaging around wasnt good. A normal-sized human only reached up to my knees, aning I could stomp soone flat just by just stepping on them. This would disrupt the fight below . To avoid this, I erected multiple [Terra Walls] to slow the slazzigula down, forcing it to either break through or climb over considering its physical power and how light-footed it was, it should have no problem with either.
Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Allegro)
Flas burning as fast as flashfire, increasing the casters Agility by half of the base amount. All fire elental attacks increase in strength
However, that was all just part of the plan. In [Symphonie des Feuergottes]s first movent, Allegro, my current Agility was about 50% higher than usual, which, when boosted by winds [Swift Winds] Agility buff, made far faster than this slazzigula. Charging in with my flaming tail, I slashed at the salamander with [Hellblade Edge].
Similar to last ti, the slazzigula guarded against it perfectly, not letting move my tail any further despite the Strength I put into it. Still, that was expected. Sliding my tail down the salamanders guantlets, I slipped through the slazzigulas arms and used [Wind Blast] while jumping, pushing onto one of the rock walls I constructed. While I slithered over them like a lizard, my opponent began destroying them to reach , effectively enabling to lead it away from the Ellaines, the students, and Talons fight.
Number eight, nine, and ten, music ti. Boss battle ti!
Is this the fated battle, the light shines
Its blinding my sight
But Ive gotta hold on, the stage calls
The cries of a thousand, the flas of war will descend
I didnt need the arena for this fight when this monster only had eyes for . The place we were fighting in was like the savannahs fields, flat and wide. This ant, using [Dragon Fire] wasnt the best choice here, but [The Will to Fight and Survive]. What I needed was sustain.
[Dragon Fire]s effect was weakening water and ice attacks, in addition to improving my fire and dragon abilities while dealing random fire damage to my enemies. [The Will to Fight and Survive], on the other hand, not only makes losing Stamina a non-issue, but it also increases the damage I can deal with fire and holy spells and decreases my enemies morale and Wisdom by 5%. And that last part was what I was really aiming for.
By increasing the amount of Mana I invest into [Aerokinesis] to play my song spells, it allowed to support my teammates. They received the positive effects of my song while their enemies received the negatives. I know I should focus on my own fight, but the Wisdom decrease on the slazzigula was important for , too.
Dedicating two parallel minds to continuous cast [Wind Blast], I jumped off the last [Terra Wall] and kept myself afloat using wind magic. While I couldnt fly properly yet, raining down dragon fire and spells while floating overhead was no problem. The monster wanted to get close to , aning all I needed to do was to fly.
Grigri! Like a ninja, the salamander was dodging right and left, seemingly getting used to my shooting patterns. Flas then erupted from its right hand. While using it as a pivot to dodge through my spells, the slazzigula crushed through the ground when it did so, confusing when nothing happened. What was it trying to do? I wondered, continuing shooting out spells.
Griah! The slazzigula groaned when a [Bedrock Blades] pierced the monsters shoulder, tearing through its scales and spilling blood out. The salamander destroyed the rock blade with a flaming punch, roaring in anger afterwards before beginning to simply punch through all the remaining approaching blades.
Enraged! Opening for to-
Seeing the monster angered by its mistake ant it left an opening for to focus fire a stronger spell but my plan was interrupted by what happened next. [Foresight] activated, directing my attention to the ground the mont magma erupted from it, breaking through the magma veins beneath the crevasses. Like pillars, jets of molten rock shot right up at , forcing to ditch attacking, for now, and focus on maintaining myself in the air.
My reliance on [Wind Blast] to keep myself afloat showed itself here, when volcanic gases followed the pillars, interrupting the winds around . Sprays of rock made it impossible for my wings to properly flap, making it even harder for to keep my heavy body up in the air. I knew I had to escape from this predicant and when I did, the slazzigula reacted.
[Danger Perception] exploded once again, warning to jolt my head to the side. When I did, I could hear the sharp report reminiscent of a gunshot as a flaming spear was thrown at . Fast! was all I could think as my reflexes moved my body without my input, rolling in the air to avoid the brunt of the attack. It was a glancing hit but it still sohow managed to damage through my [Draconic Barrier], denting my scales as it passed right by .
As a B rank fighting against another B rank monster, I should 100% expect its attack to do damage when its fighting seriously. It was common sense for . I was confident in my fire resistance, which had to handle my scale-dust explosions all the ti, but I shouldn't underestimate its attacks just cause its fire-based. Especially when [Danger Perception] activates.
When the skill didnt activate when the salamander spit out a ball of fire, I knew I could tank the attack but that relief went out of the window the mont the scale-crown on the slazzigulas back began shooting out fire. For the inferno rulers true power is restricted by it, was sothing I rembered from the slazzigulas description. An accumulation of fire-potent scales from its slazzanbal days, until theyre broken, the crown lays dormant and supposedly restricts the monsters true power.
After spitting the fireball, the slazzigula jumped into the air with its scale-crown serving as a jetpack, propelling the monster up in the sky and towards . My response to this attack was a boosted [Draconic Roar] but the wind up I needed was broken the mont the slazzigula ford another fla spear with its [Pyrokinesis] and threw it at , forcing off-balance to dodge it.
Scheie, flying is too hard!
My inexperience with flying showed itself at this mont. The advantage Id thought I had was invalidated at this mont.
With flaming blades forming around the monsters gauntlets, I assessed the situation, noting that I couldnt escape with [Wind Blast] while struggling to regain my balance in the air. If I tried to blast myself away, all I would achieve is another crash landing. My only option here was to blast it with spells and then resort to [Hellblade Edge] and [Scale-Dust Veil] the mont it got close. [Dreadflare Aura] would be for Plan B.
Like the bruiser it was, it shielded its vitals using its fla sword while continuing its flight towards with its flaming jetpack. Clicking my tongue at how well it was wielding its bodys weapons, I placed the sharp, scaled edge of my tail inside my mouth and with one quick swipe, I sharpened and reheated it using my jaw plates. Sparks flew as I snapped my claws against each other, readying myself for a physical fight.
Panzer!
With purple armor protecting my body now, I closed the distance between us with [Wind Blast].
Kriaaaaaahhh!
Grigrigriaaahhh!
Flas and claws clashed. Scales broke off as flesh was rendered and blood spilled. The slazzigula grew angrier and angrier while white and purple fire began shrouding more and more. Neither of us even attempted to stay in the sky, knowing this was just a phase of the battle. As we fell ever closer to the ground, neither of us disappointed each other as we dueled like two swordsn.
The adagio movent made it far easier for to compete against the slazzigula with my superior Agility, but the monster countered using its skill with its blades. In this match, it was a competition between stats and skill. I had higher stats than the slazzigula while they had to rely on its stronger skill set and ability with its twin blades. None of us could land a decisive blow against the other, but every glancing hit on the salamander ant a step closer to my win while I could heal from the hits I suffered.
Co on! Sustain tank, lets go!
When the ground ca into view, we stomped each other, creating so space to soften our fall.
Grigri! the slazzigula seemingly laughed at our clash while I was trying to recover my breathing rhythm. When the slazzigula once again did its co at hand sign, sothing snapped inside when confronted against its arrogant personality. Ruthlessly, I ground my teeth against each, creating a small spark in front of .
And the scale-dust covering its body blew up like dynamite.
Griaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! The salamander cried out in pain.
Fighting up close and personal wasnt my forte, sothing this slazzigula rubbed in my face with how skilled it was, but I did ntion how [Scale-Dust Veil] was part of my strategy. It always was part of my fighting style. Our struggle in the sky was just a way for to spread the dust around the slazzigula, lodging them into the monsters scales.
When we landed, a hail of scale-dust was softly falling down, blanketing our environnt. When I snapped my mouth shut, everything around exploded. I was caught up in the explosion as well, but everything could be solved with so healing. I knew the slazzigula had to be well protected against fire and magma since it grew up in these magma chambers, but it should still show so effect.
It was a sha that my Job skills didnt transfer into my dragon form, since [Crimson-Scaled Dreadgiver] wouldve made this far easier.
Scale-Dust Size Increase
Increase the size of scale-dust expelled from the owners body. Increase explosion size
Fire Abnormality Effect: Dread
Adds an effect to all fire produced by the owner through magic or abilities, called [Dread Burn]. [Dread Burn] nullifies all source of Health regeneration on an afflicted target and decrease their fire resistance by 30%
Those were the Job skills I currently had. Unfortunately, besides grimgarians, monsters could not have an active Job while in monster form. That ant I could not benefit from these two skills. If you asked , it was kinda unfair. Shouldnt I, the mutant dragon, have these skills naturally? Honestly, if I could buy them using SP, I would have done it already. Whatever the price, I didnt care. I wanted them badly!
Lets act spoiled after this fight ends.
[Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Adagio)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Adagio)
Flas burning slowly with powerful notes, increasing the casters Strength and Intelligence by half of the base amount. Mana consumption of all spells is reduced by 50%
Perfectly tid, the movent began, reducing my maximum Agility to increase my Strength and Intelligence in return. Honestly, I preferred adagio for this fight but I couldnt control when the movents switched. This was my boss battle phases gimmick.
GriAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Speaking of phase gimmicks, the reason why I called it perfectly tid was cause the slazzigula had its phase change, too.
Standing straight like a human, the slazzigula was tall enough to look down at , showing off its height. As the dust settled, I could see broken scales, blood, and burn scars covering its body. My explosion definitely did damage, but it also triggered the scale-crown on its back to fully unleash its power.
Six wings of pure flas emitted from its back, making the slazzigula look more like a flaming angel than a dragon. Flas began to form beneath it as it sohow slowly began hovering in the air with its fla wings flapping hard. It roared, and the mont it did, five pillars of flas suddenly ford around it before they rushed towards .
Looking similar to the [Inferno Magic Lv. 2] spell [Blazing Twister], those tornados approached . [Danger Perception] didnt warn about them, so I think I could safely stay inside them without incurring too much damage, but what did catch its attention was slazzigula itself. Fla blades ford around its gauntlets again, but instead of jumping or running, it flew towards with those six fire wings.
What the fuck?!
With both swords drawn back, it slashed at the mont it could, prompting to dodge. Magic circles began to flicker around as spells were prepared, but the slazzigula left no ti for to breathe, striking relentlessly at . This was where not having allegros speed buff was an issue, since its current form seems to be stronger and faster. I couldnt keep up with it!
Kriargh! I growled as the monster landed a proper hit on my wings, ripping the mbrane apart and piercing through my [Panzer] armor to expose the skin on my limb. My projectile spells were hitting it, but it seed it was ignoring them, only focusing on attacking .
Grigrigrigri! it crackled a laugh as it suddenly changed its attack pattern. Extinguishing its fla swords, the slazzigula sucker-punched right in my head before grabbing my neck. Grappling my neck with both arms now, it mounted my back. I had no idea what it was trying to do but fear got to , not knowing what it was doing made slightly panic.
Dreadflare Aura!
Scale-dust exploded from inside my scales, creating a super-hot aura that exploded right in front of the slazzigula. Caught unawares, it let go of my neck and was blasted back. Using this chance, I shot multiple [Banishnt Beam]s at it, but it dodged them like an insect with its wings.
Materializing another flaming spear, it blasted itself forward with the spear tightly gripped in its hand, slamming the spear down where Id just been standing. Dodging further away, I noticed the spear exploding into a pillar of flas, sending a small shockwave forward. It seed this attack required so recovery ti, so I managed to counter-attack with a [Hellfla Breath].
It blocked my breath attack in ti with its arms, but it still growled as it was being pushed back. I had to press my advantage!
Rumbling Might! Levin Core! Warp Point: Entry!
The ground shook strongly as the slazzigula lost balance. A lightning ball appeared behind the monster, buffeting it with strong lightning bolts, weakening its guard in the process. It roared out in pain as the flas hit its head, lting through its scales as it struggled to keep its legs standing with the earthquake I was creating.
Fla swords erupted from its arms, shielding it from my attack long enough to slip past, storming at missing half the scales on its face. When I snapped my mouth shut, instead of attacking back, I chose to avoid it.
Warp Point: Exit, now!
After having my parallel minds place a grey magic circle behind the slazzigula, the air suddenly ruptured right in front of and my opponent. Unable to stop its charge, the slazzigula entered through the portal and reappeared a bit further away; however, instead of facing , it had its back toward .
Fuck, this Mana cost is insane! Why must these two shitty spells cost so much Mana every single ti?!
My decision to expend more mana than I wanted was cause of my worry of the surface. This slazzigula was tenacious and seeing how it still had over half of its Health left, I wasnt liking the situation at all. My ears picked up on the sounds on Ellaines side, which seed to be facing so trouble. I wasnt sure if this was the better choice, but if this slazzigula continuously beats in lee, then that would prove an issue.
My scale-dust was dealing damage thanks to my song, so it was ti to go overdrive.
Solar Beam!
Scale-dust inside my scales exploded into action, flaring up underneath them as my solar core shined with a bright yellow glow. For a whole week, I have been holding onto my solar energy for this very mont. If I couldnt stop the spider from entering the surface due to all the delays from this fight, then I had to end it now and hope the sun was currently up in the sky to refill later. I was running out of ti. Its all or nothing, Im ending this fight right now, was my thought when I shot out the beam of concentrated heat.
When the slazzigula turned around, it let out a growl of surprise, widening its eyes as it scrambled to dodge the beam. However, I still had enough juice to continue shooting it. Turning my head around, the slazzigula seed to sense my desperation to end this fight, right now, but it couldnt capitalize on my rashness, knowing instinctively it would not survive getting hit by my beam directly. Unfortunately for it, I could turn my head around faster than it could dodge. It was beginning to tire.
GriaaaGGRHHHHHHHHHH! it howled like a banshee as it blocked my beam with its carapace gauntlets. Sturdy as they were, they began to lt in front of my [Solar Beam]. The slazzigula ford its blade again, allowing it to escape and blast itself into the sky with its wings.
Once my beam was over, the stored solar energy inside my solar core went into this overdrive mode I liked to call, causing my body temperature to skyrocket to the point that my scale-dust exploded non-stop. Although its gauntlets were falling apart from the super-heat, the slazzigula only dedicated a small groan as he flew at to continue the fight, looking even more alive than before.
That was when it dawned at .
Hold on couldnt I do the sa? Why do I need wind when I can create my own force with fire?
Call it stupid, call it crazy, call it a waste of Mana and Stamina. Its not like I didnt have a high amount of the forr and a near-infinite supply of the latter. When the idea of the slazzigula using its scale-crown as a jetpack entered my mind for a split-second, I wondered, couldnt I imitate that? Solar core allowed to control my body heat, [Pyrokinesis] helped morph and control my fire, and as long as I had scale-dust inside my body, I had fuel.
Oh boy, after this whole shitfest, Ill be hungry as fuck. Hope your at or the spiders tastes good.
Increasing my body heat even further, I could feel more flas blasting out of my scales, tiring the longer I kept it going. Regardless if I was a fire dragon or not, being in overdrive mode was uncomfortable, outright impossible to relax in since it felt like I was cooking myself from within. I have sweated before in my new life, but I have never felt as if my organs were being grilled before. It burns.
Wha-?!
This pain it only lasted for a few seconds, replaced imdiately by elation the mont it felt like sothing was pushing forward. Turning my head around, I thought I was seeing a rocket engine shooting out fire. The thrust created by this action was unbalancing , fighting against gravity and friction. I could feel my mind sweating, but I honestly couldnt stop smiling.
What the fuck did I just find out?!
[Foresight] and [Danger Perception] activated. I knew what was coming. My only response to these warnings was to let it all out. Flas exploded from my scales, granting a significant boost in speed as I swerved under the slazzigulas fla swords, narrowly dodging it.
While it sounded all amazing, I was as much of a beginner with this movent style as my usual flying thod, using too much power and sending shooting right past the slazzigula, unable to counterattack like I wanted to. I knew I put in too much energy, used too much Mana and Stamina to grant that super burst in speed. Mana was needed to fuel my body to increase its temperature while manipulating it with [Pyrokinesis], on the other hand, I needed Stamina to continuously make my body produce scale-dust to keep this up. Im gonna starve myself before getting [Exhausted].
The slazzigula followed behind with its wings, while I was trying my best to keep myself balanced. Sadly, at this point, I realized my experintation went awry quickly. My control over this new ability was as horrendous as when I first started flying or using [Wind Blast] floating. You know how story heroes quickly learn new abilities they gain mid-fight? Well, Im failing to do so hard.
Fuck!
Gri? Griaaah!
Unable to properly handle this new ability, I once again put too much power into my turbo boost, crashing against the slazzigula, unintentionally body slamming against it. As the both of us grabbed onto each other, the slazzigula managed to support my flight using its wings, balancing us. I could see the slazzigula wanted to slash at , but the heat I was emitting made it literally burn itself on .
It kicked away, and I could see its hands sizzling once it let go. At this point, I had to choose between stopping my overdrive mode to regain my ability to shoot spells or continue this madness. The amount of Mana I was consuming while keeping [Symphonie des Feuergottes] and [Solar Beam]s overdrive mode active was draining at a worrying rate. Without a source of Mana regeneration, the smart choice was to stop this insanity now.
Well, speaking of the devil
[Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Minuet)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Minuet)
Flas burning like a dance, lively as the finale approached, increasing the caster's Vitality and Wisdom by half of the base amount. Health, Mana, and Stamina regeneration from all sources is increased by 50%
Wisdom increased not only your magic resistance but also the natural rate of Mana regeneration. Minuet, usually the third movent of a symphony shared with the scherzo, was the light-hearted dance part following the slow and rhythmic second movent. This was the first ti I managed to activate this movent, since I never had the mana or need to keep [Symphonie des Feuergottes] going for this long. I thought it would increase my Agility again, but it seed to act like a refresher, to help you settle down a bit before the final movent.
Not like I would complain. That was exactly what I needed!
While it still wasnt enough to offset my Mana consumption, it drastically slowed down the rate at which I drained my Mana pool. When I locked eyes with the slazzigula, it made feel like I could continue this fight. It might be a fight to the death against this thing, but this third phase activation made feel like I could win this. Yeah, I can win this.
Adjust the power. Parallel minds, help out a bit more.
I didnt learn how to fly alone, I had my parallel minds help in the process. All ten of my parallel minds should have had enough ti to adjust and learn how this rocket boosting worked. Learning how to do it in such a short ti with one mind was hard, but with ten? Easy!
Just kidding, I still couldnt do it.
Waaaaaahhhhhhhh!
As the slazzigula and I approached each other with our respective fire transportation thod, I accidentally put too much power in it again and I lost balance while flying. Anxiousness filled my mind as I saw the slazzigula drawing its flaming sword at while I couldnt respond properly.
Im gonna get cut! Scheie!
As the blade drew closer and closer, the unexpected happened.
Shriiiiiieeek!
It was deja vu. Just, instead of appearing underneath us, the ceiling suddenly broke, raining giant spiders. The slazzigula noticed this, canceled its attack as I flew past it like ntos erupting from inside a coke bottle. Comically crash landing on the ground, I quickly reduced my energy consumption to slow myself down, recovering my footing in seconds.
When I jolted my head towards the slazzigula, instead of seeing it attack , the giant salamander used its flaming swords to pierce an elephant-sized spiders head, instantly killing it before attacking the next one falling from the ceiling. Like a nightmare, giant spiders fell from a crack in the ceiling.
Grigrioooooooarrrrrrrrrrrh! The slazzigula roared in rage after killing the second spider. It gave a short glance before its fire wings grew in size, helping it fly up and into the hole.
As I was trying to process what just happened, my focus switched from the slazzigula and spiders towards Ellaine and the students.
Argh! Shit! I heard an echo curse. Approaching it, the sight of a scorched battlefield ca into view. Nurous followers of Shiterno laid on the ground, either dying or dead in a field of fire and broken rocks. In the middle of all of this, six humans and a garm caught my attention.
Oh no!
Nishio was cursing uncontrollably with blue-purple-colored skin, shooting out magic as he scread in pain. Kazumi, Kohaku, and Ellaine were standing up, stalwart, but parts of their armor were burned black from fire, as well as the body parts it defended. Misaki and Tamae were the only ones looking healthy, but I could already see signs of arcane corruption creeping up, similar to Nishio. Quatre, despite the nurous wounds on him, continued defending everybody behind him, undeterred by the fire its body blocked for everybody.
Do not give up now! The enemy lies weakened, we must press on to preserve our faith! The large congregation of Danterno, on the other hand, was drastically thinned down from everybody's efforts. From the spells they shot out, the ones left were the [Inferno Magic] mages.
Heal, I need to heal them! Quick!
This was all I could think of. I pushed my body forward with this single goal. Nothing could stop .
This is a trial we must complete! We must do this for our God! With the honor and dedication of all our brothers and sisters who fell on this day, we must persevere! If we cannot pass this trial, how can we free our God Danterno?! Fire mages, we must fight! Cries of desperation ca out from those fire mages but all I heard was the rattling noises of vermin. When I saw them preparing spells to finish off the students, I knew I had to stomp them out.
As I was preparing a fla breath to kill them off, another cracking sound ca from the ceiling, however, instead of spiders, four giant wolves ca shooting down.
Graaaaaaahhhhhhh! Graaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! The leading wolf, clad in black and white fur, growled with a blood mist emitting from its eyes. Black lightning wrapped around its body for a mont before it shot straight at the leading mage, frying him to death.
Saori!
It was Saori and her garms!
With lightning wrapped around her body, Saoris landing caused a shockwave of black electricity, stunning all the mages around her. With her powerful arms, every stomp she did with them was like a punch, shaking the ground as she rcilessly smashed n and won alike into pulps of viscera. Once her garms landed with her, this fight turned into a one sided rabbit hunt, as none of the mages could stand against the unwounded wolves crushing their skulls with their bite.
Tasianna! Grimnir! You guys are all safe! Urgh, Sacred Field
With the enemies in front of gone, I cast [Sacred Field] under Ellaine, the students, and Quatre, healing them of their wounds as my fighting instincts suddenly stopped completely. I felt relief, causing to unintentionally deactivate [Symphonie des Feuergottes] and let my body cool down; that said, overdrive was still active and I had to release this pent-up energy sowhere. Looking at the horde of giant spiders that dropped down, crawling away when they saw , I rembered I still had a job to do.
There were two ways to cancel [Solar Beam]s overdrive mode, and that was either through a supernova explosion or another solar beam. The idea was to drain all the remaining solar energy with this last move. Choosing the latter thod, the area where I fought the slazzigula which was now sward by spiders beca my target.
With a beam hot enough to instantly lt rock, I ensured none of the spiders lived to tell the tale. Once it was all over, my body just slumped on the ground, exhausted. Even my music stopped playing.
[Starvation (Minor)][Starving Weakling (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
Wow, looks like I got too invested in my fight against the slazzigula. That booster rocket was a bad idea
Before the adrenaline went away completely, I opened up my storage, letting nurous dismantled cuts of felgheist at drop onto the scorching ground, instantly grilling in the process, even so turning right into charcoal.
Aifli eir Vintral. A soothing voice entered my ears, white snow ca into view. It was Tasiannas custom spell. You did a fine job, Lady Hestia. Allow to serve you. While drinking a Mana potion and dragorade simultaneously, she picked up a slab of at with an ice plate and put it inside my mouth.
Forcing myself to chew it, I could only think about how lacking in spices the at was but it was better than nothing. Hunger was a wild thing. It made everything taste better.
S-Sensei? Five voices, almost in tears.
I could hear a mist dispersing as I mindlessly chewed anything Tasianna set inside my mouth. I-IIm sorry for being late for horoom. I lost my way here.
Sensei!
Thank goodness Huh?
As I tuned out of Saoris and her students heartful reunion, a woman clad in white armor suddenly ca into my vision. She had white hair and features resembling a Scandinavian woman in her late twenties or mid-thirties. Tasianna wasnt reacting to her as she approached , giving a short bow before mana mist suddenly was being released from her body.
Her armor made clanking noises as two limbs erupted from her back along with a third appendage from her butt. White scaled wings, an ivory-colored tail, two short beige horns, and marble-like scales covering her face and hands. Her face was still that of a human, but her race certainly wasnt.
She bowed before the mont her transformation ended, smiling as she addressed , It is an honor to finally et you, Princess Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor, youngest daughter of the imperial family of Kargryx. My na is Yorshka Nordor and I am your terribly older niece.
Confusion. Nordor? Yorshka? My mind was still processing what just happened but sothing was preventing from connecting the dots together. Sotis, compassion could beco an issue.
Where is Talon?
**********************************************
What is that explosion? Why did the ceiling just crack open? Where did those spiders co from?
My mind was hazy. I couldnt express my confusion to anybody around . Pain. The pain was the only thing keeping awake. For twenty years, I have beco accustod to living with burn scars, tornting in the first few years whenever I tried to sleep. No, that wasnt the pain I was feeling.
Keith?
I looked around. A corpse of a man. His face was burnt and his eyes lifeless. He could not speak anymore. A knife with a wavy blade was stuck in his chest. It was the cause of his death.
The sound of thunder. The crackling entered my ears but I eventually lost the ability to hear. I looked up at the ceiling. Four giant wolves jumped down. My vision beca hazier.
Keith. What could our lives have beco if we had chosen a different path?
My heart ached. Was this sadness?
See you soon old friend.
With that last thought, my mind went blank.
