Eria / Pce of Fafnir
Current Timeline /
"Arlene!"
Cindere leap back to dodge Skadi''s swing.
"Hahaha! You are talking big yet are so weak! You better be grateful it''s not your face that I rip!"
Cindere''s attack did not mean to kill Arlene. It was just a warning and stopped their movement temporarily.
With Skadi''s skill as a Knight-priest, it was easy for her to heal Arlene''s wounds. But there was something that Skadi cannot heal.
"It''s better the face."
"Huh?"
Arlene said something to responds Cindere''s arrogance. Although he did not hear it.
"It''s better the face."
Arlene keeps whining over something. That made Cindere curious.
"Meh, save yourin forter. I am going to finish my business first."
Thest line of Fafnir''s defence has been destroyed. There is no longer anything that can stop Cindere from moving forward.
That''s what he thought.
But he needs to instantly turned around after having felt an immense pressure from an unknown creature.
"Where did youe from?"
A dark, armored, winged, 40m size giant lizard. A ck dragon. A catastrophe level of threat.
"Nggrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"
The immense roar just now stopped the wind, the time, the movement of everything.
It scares every soul being in the nearby. It warns the watchers that observe from far away. It woke the red dragon, who had been sleeping for a long time.
Fortunately with his power, Cindere can enter to inside the pce to take cover.
"If I''m not, my ears must be broken."
Cindere was still lucky. But that didn''t apply to Skadi and Arlene, who were close to the ck dragon.
Skadi managed to get both of them behind a pole, but her two hands could only protect one head, so she gave up her two ears to protect Arlene. Now her ears are bleeding.
That was okay. The wound can be healed. The important thing is they need to get away from there. Because the ck dragon was about to breathe fire to the pce.
Fwoosh. The ck dragon breathes ckish red fire.
The structure of the pce made of special material that cannot be broken easily. Even Cindere''s attacks that wereunched earlier only left a slight mark on the castle.
However, the line of breath of ckish red fire destroyed the pce. It made the refugee hiding inside the castlee out.
"Why in hell you can transform into that thing when you haven''t touched it?!!"
Cindere was really mad at Alexander.
In the First War of Sin and Virtue, Alexander didn''t participate nor even get close to the battlefield. He did nothing. Or he did? Considered that Alexander can transform into any creature.
Whatever that was, Cindere had to deal with the ck dragon, that in the past, it needs the Sword Saint, Spear Saint, Troy, and Yamato to deal with it.
Soul Saint himself can deal with the enormous dragon. But, he is not in the ce in the meantime. Summoning him also could endanger the Saint. So, it''s do or die for Cindere.
"Nggroooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaa!!"
The dragon pping its wings. Then fly to the sky.
Before it flies high, Cindereunched multiple attacks to the dragon. Only to be ignored by the dragon.
A simple attack, even though there were a lot, did nothing to the great dragon.
The dragon casually gave a counter-attack with the ckish-red fire breath.
Cindere flew higher to the sky so the fire breath did not reach him.
The dragon stopped its fire breathe to catch up with Cindere.
"You fool! You came right at me to the sky! My territory!"
Cindere''s Arts is cloud bending. Combining control of the elements of wind and water, Cindere can create his own cloud.
However, the sky is the home of the clouds. Cindere doesn''t need to create his own cloud. He can control the clouds, he can control the sky with his hands.
"Feel my wrath! Feel the rage of the sky!"
Cindere gathered a lot of clouds, making them turn ck, giving birth to thunder and lightning.
Their enemy is the godly creature, who is also called the king of the sky.
"[Cloud Arts Ultimate from Beauty: Sky Fall]!"
Cindere brings down the sky; a line of ck clouds falls down to the ck dragon.
All the people and creatures in Eria watched that fight of dragon and sky. Those who were fighting stopped their fight. Those who were frightened stopped praying.
"Stop! I said, STOP!"
The sky keeps falling down, but the thing its fall on keeps on moving forward with breathing fire.
The dragon Alexander did not and will not lose to the sky.

Eria / Back of Pce of Mus
"Daughter, back to the pce, and run."
Jeanne told her daughter to run from the scene from the battle.
"But, mother!"
She said that when she had lost her left hand and heavily injured.
"You cannot run. You cannot win this fight. That sissy guy might be dead because the Dark Evil Dragon appearance. But I won''t lose to you."
On the other side, de still fresh and ready to take out targets and target''s guardian.
"Do it, honey! I don''t know if I can kill him with thisst attack. So, you have to run and survive. At least until he fully awake."
Frida confused at first of why her mother suddenly mentioned someone. After she found out and understood the meaning, she finally obeyed her mother''s orders. Of course, a rain down through her cheeks as she leaves her mother behind.
"You are going to use the [Javelin of Light], right? Don''t bother trying. I have faced a user of the same skill in the past. It wouldn''t be any different even if you did."
Jeanne fixes her posture. With a body already fragile and flooded with blood, Jeanne has not lost her pride as a Saint.
"Do you have anyst words to say to your daughter?"
"You used to be a Modesty, but aren''t you feeling to pride in yourself? Are you my daughter too?"
That was a nice counter from Jeanne.
After taking that word, de no longer feeling pride. He now fully focuses to his target.
Meanwhile, Jeanne, taking a deep breath before performing herst attack.
"We finally could meet again, Roger. With the same way and the same reason."
Jeanne muttering something.
de did not know what it was. Maybe it was a chant to perform [Javelin of Light].
"I''m not talking much, but it was a fact that you cannot "
de stops talking because Jeanne suddenly disappears from his sight. Jeanne''s disappearance was reced with a *nk* sound of metal falling to the ground.
The Saint''s Spear and the right de of Twin''s God de. Unknowingly fell to the ground.
The surprising things don''t stop there. The right side of de''s body was destroyed somehow.
de finally felt the damage after he take a look at it. He fell to the ground as he lost conscious.
