Chapter 290 - Dragons are Less Reputed as Air Dominators (2/2)

Then, they saw that the Holy Lady was really cleaning the bookshelves. When she saw Schuck and Roland, she smiled at them in greeting.

Then, she resumed cleaning.

Schuck led Roland out of the grand library, but a red-haired girl in a white dress was glaring at them angrily below the stairs with her hands on her hips.

Schuck walked down and asked, finding it odd, “Margret, why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to stay home?”

“I thought you were here to chat with the Holy Lady.” Margret looked at Roland and said, “It seems that you weren’t lying when you said that you would be receiving a friend.”

Schuck was amused, and Roland somehow smelled jealousy.

Dragons were connected to their knights. They could feel each other even when they were thousands of kilometers apart.

So, when Schuck came to the grand library, Margret, who could tell where he was although she was at home, immediately set off to catch him.

Schuck approached her and petted her. The girl looked upset at first, but after Schuck stroked her head, she smiled happily again.

Then, Schuck led Roland out of the city.

On the empty meadow outside of the city, Roland said, “Okay, let’s say goodbye now. I’m going back.”

“By teleportation?” asked Schuck.

“No. This is too far away from Delpon and I don’t have enough mana,” Roland said helplessly. “I need to fly half of the way before I teleport myself back.”

“How long is it going to take?”

Roland ran an estimation and said, “No more than a day.”

Schuck sighed, “That’s really fast. You’re even faster than Margret.”

Margret, whose mood had been improved, was not happy to hear that. “I don’t believe it. You must be bragging.”

Roland tilted his head and looked at Schuck.

Cleverness flashed in Schuck’s eyes. He found it quite interesting. “Do you want a race?”

“Why not?”

Margret shouted and jumped aside, glowing red. In less than ten seconds, she turned from a human girl into a red dragon.

Schuck jumped onto Margret’s back.

Roland sighed. Actually, he did not want to compete.

However, Schuck had already patted Margret’s back gently. Realizing his intention, Margret flapped her wings and ran a few steps, before she took off at a high speed and soon accelerated to the highest speed of a dragon.

I’m the fastest anyway.

While Margret was thinking that, a stranger suddenly appeared next to her. She focused her eyes, only to find that it was Roland.

Also, Roland’s speed was still increasing.

Margret, who was unwilling to give up, tried to flap her wings, but it didn’t help.

She could only watch Roland go faster and faster. Swallowed and ejected by the spatial bubbles, the man became a dark spot on the horizon in no more than three minutes.

Even his shadow was nowhere to be seen.

Margret slowed down and hovered in midair.

Her pitiful voice was pa.s.sed to Schuck’s head through the mental connection of the dragon knight.

“That’s unfair. He’s not using a flight spell at all.”

Schuck replied, laughing, “But he did fly away at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, didn’t he? Margret, as I’ve kept telling you, human beings are very strong in general, and they have a lot of geniuses. Don’t underestimate them, or you may suffer great setbacks one day.”

After a long time, Margret’s gloomy voice finally sounded. “Okay. I won’t underestimate human beings anymore, all right?”
