Chapter 103 (1/2)

Sakuya boasted the body of a gaia dragon subspecies, and she had grown bigger than even that

While her length made her look slender, her torso was just about as thick as a gaia dragon's And her powerful jaas the same

She only looked slender due to the sheer size of her body

But her skin, a dragon's are dragon Even a gaia dragon's strength wouldn't be able to let her fly, and yet her four large wings could keep her airborne

If you're asking e're trying to say… looking at her latent abilities, Sakuya stood at the suons And Sakuya's soul was the soul of the 'Once-Goddess Sakuya'

The body that becaon

Her heart had been passed from Cattleya to Lilim, to Fina, Sophina and Mii, and finally, she had inherited Sakuya's heart While they were a somewhat problematic lot, she carried on the heart of proficient personnel

By holding the soul and heart of Sakuya, she held feelings most closest to Sakuya, and the memories and the experiences definitely did exist somewhere within her

While she was evaluated lowly as a dragoon, Sakuya was undoubtedly a Goddragon

Even if her evaluation was the worst, young as she was, she possessed abilities as a dragon that placed her in their upper ranks

”Hey, why did you stop? If you stay like this, you're a sitting duck”

Sakuya roared, floating on the spot as if to wait for the wind dragon It was proof that she was capable of hovering, and Rudel could feel Sakuya's growth

”It's alright That output froht!”

As Rudel issued orders, Sakuya answered theon While Enora took on a basic strategy of attack and move, Rudel chose to prioritize defense over evasion

Sakuya took the wind dragon's breath on the palht hand undaunted

Seeing Sakuya's defensive prowess you could even call abnor to wear Sakuya down, as froed over to close combat

Flying around at a speed Sakuya couldn't follow, she planned to aiot the chance

Even if Sakuya's own back was heavily armored, Enora's aim was Cattleya Rudel had noticed where Enora's eyes had been directed the whole time

”Why is she challenging us to close coaia dragon is a ht”

”No, it's dangerous, so please lay low And keep a firrip on the lifeline”

One usually wouldn't initiate close coon's arena

But knowing Enora's aiht to defend Cattleya That large shi+eld covered Sakuya's blind spot to create an impenetrable fortress

For the current Rudel, his shi+elds of light could easily be destroyed by a dragon's ht But he just had to use the time its destruction would buy them

He could use that space to turn Sakuya around

Perhaps his foe understood that as well, she wasn'tany careless attacks

”That Enora girl, just what is she doing?”

After looking at Cattleya glaring at the wind dragon gliding about the sky, Rudel succeeded in capturing Enora in his ic eyes

After looking into Rudels eyes, she vexingly issued her dragon orders in a way akin to a jeer

”… Her aim is you, Lieutenant”

”Like hell Are you saying I did so to her?”

While Cattleya took it out on Rudel, her expression was unperturbed She was, in her oay, trying hard to remember what she could have done

”No, I don't know the specifics either But she despises you, Lieutenant Cattleya That's the sort of eyes she was ”

Rudel recalled Cattleya's eyes of old Often finding hi that dwelled in those eyes

”And ould you know…!”

Before Cattleya could continue on, Enora continued the rapid fire of her dragon's breath Moving at her maxied her plan

But Sakuya only changed her facing direction without doing anything else in particular

'Come at meeee!!'

Knowing he couldn't just leave everything to Sakuya, Rudel produced a few dozen shi+elds of light, using them to avert the breath attacks Hit only once, they would explode and fade away, but he was able to counterbalance

Those shi+elds of light stationed to protect Sakuya gave off a glion

”Why, why is he protecting the likes of her!”

Unable to raise a hand against the iron wall that was Sakuya, Enora cried out atop the back of her own dragon It wasn't as if she thought she could finish it with a surprise attack

But she had never iined she would be so hard-pressed

Even if Rudel himself was proficient, she had misunderstood Sakuya as a failure In essence, she had been convinced she could ith her own dragon's speed and rapid-fire breath

But right now, she had yet to acco

If Enora's condition for victory was Cattleya'sto happen At e, she had the disadvantage

Even if she wanted to aiot in the way

According to her dragon, it was more than possible to break theht with the wrong foe

If this was hoas going to be, then fighting Cattleya's red dragon would've given her a higher chance of victory

But if she had challenged Cattleya and her partner red dragon, Enora would have been dead That was just how great her gap in ability was from Cattleya

'Kuh! What are we going to do, Enora!?'

On her partner's voice, Enora gave a slight smile

”Having co defeat… I'm sure it'll be quite the spectacle The faenius, after all”

Unable to win against Sakuya, Enora's dragon didn't think there would by this great of a gap in abilities either There was a hint of impatience in his voice

”Aha, why do I have to coht I would be recognized…”

Laughing as she shed her tears, Enora wiped her tears away beforedragon, and Cattleya being protected by Rudel

”How irritating At the very least, I wanted to steal her man”

Without noticing the fact she had been captivated by Rudel, Enora issued orders to her dragon

”Let's go, Falk”

'… Very well My pride won't allow me to lose just like this'

While they had no prospects of victory, Enora and Falk's objective was Cattleya Even if they couldn't defeat Sakuya or Rudel, they wanted to fulfill that objective alone

Falk thought the least he could do was fulfill Enora's purpose He understood that he wouldn't be able to beat Sakuya But fro anything

As Falk started his attack on Sakuya, Rudelof his shi+elds

Cattleya was looking at Rudel's back
