Chapter 475: Katyusha in the Ruins

Three miles in the air, the sky was sapphire blue. A huge hawk with a wingspan of more than 100 feet flew in the air.

The hawk looked really strange. From afar, it looked like a hawk. But closer, Link discovered that it was covered in metallic dark red scales. They glowed faintly, and he could see many divine runes on them. They emitted a repressive aura. As for the wings, they were made of feathers, but at a glance, they looked like rows of knives. The edges glinted like blades.

Seeing this, Link realized what it was. It should be a pet, transformed from a Dragonhawk. It must be really powerful!

Regular Dragonhawks were similar, but their wingspans were at most 60 feet. The Agatha Nagas had displayed divine domestication spells before so Link wasn’t surprised.

A sound floated through the air. It was an Agatha Naga speaking from the back of the Dragonhawk. Instead of attacking immediately, Link hung around two miles away from the Dragonhawk and listened closely.

“It’s weird. The information said that Link’s ship left, but there’s been no trace. Did he crash halfway through?” The speaker was a Naga Warrior. Link also saw a small black-haired Naga sitting in front of her. For some reason, Link found her familiar, but most of her body was covered so he couldn’t see clearly.

“Alright, stop complaining. There’s nothing absolute in this world. If Link was so easy to deal with, he wouldn’t be so famous. He must have taken a detour,” another voice said. It was too far away so Link couldn’t pinpoint who exactly was speaking. He did feel that the voice was familiar though. It was as soft as a floating feather; it was lovely too.

The voice sounds like Misamier but smoother. I must have heard it somewhere before.

If Link heard it from the front, he would definitely be able to remember. However, they were three miles up and sped along at a couple hundred feet per second. The wind flew past them, distorting the voice Link heard, so he couldn’t think of the person at the moment.

After a while, another voice said, “Commander, are we going to the Orida Fortress like this?”

“Yes. We’ll change our outfits and go in. Humans look similar to us. If we say we’re going to join the army, they have no reason to stop us from entering.”

It was that lovely voice again. Now Link knew that she was the Naga commander.

After that, another conversation started on the back of the Dragonhawk. Complaints were thrown in too. Link listened patiently and soon could piece together their plan.

He hadn’t cleared all the Naga spies from the territory. These Nagas were able to find out the time and path he would take to go north. They’d been waiting for him on the way, but then he changed direction, so they didn’t get anything. Since they missed him, they decided to turn north and join the Orida Fortress to become the general’s soldiers.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with their plan. From the outside, Nagas had no big difference from humans. Their energy was the dark red power of destruction. It was very different from Dark power and was rarely seen in the mainland. It was easy to fool others.

Once these Nagas successfully went to Duke Abel’s side, it would be extremely troublesome for Link.

At this moment, Link’s vision flashed. It was a mission.

Activate Mission: Intercept

Mission Content: While ensuring your own safety, stop the Agatha Nagas from entering the Orida Fortress.

Mission Reward: 10 Jogu

Seeing this, Link got an idea. There were only 13 Nagas on the Dragonhawk, all around Level-8 or nine. Only three were truly threatening to Link.

The first was the Naga at the very front, clad in a black and red dress. She was probably a Naga priestess. The other was the black-haired Naga. Link could feel that she was at the peak of Level-10. The last one was the Dragonhawk pet. The God of Destruction protected it, and it was extremely combative. However, its size meant that it wasn’t that agile. It was probably the least threatening of the three.

Even if it was these three, he should probably be okay if he was careful… Did they have some powerful battle techniques or crazy weapons? No matter what, the game warned him, so he had to be prepared.

He accepted the mission and quietly snuck towards the Dragonhawk’s body from below.

Link’s Void Walk was very powerful. At full force, it was as fast as his dragon form. The Dragonhawk wasn’t that fast. It was even slower than a Yabba airship’s cruising speed. It was only around 400 feet per minute, and Link could catch up easily.

The distance between them closed. Two miles… one mile… half a mile… Link saw the black-haired Naga start looking side to side. She felt something.

Link immediately stopped approaching and started putting everything into restricting the sound of wind around him. After following quietly for more than ten seconds, the black-haired Naga still didn’t let down her guard.

“That’s strange. Something feels wrong,” she started to say.

Now, Link was much closer to her and could hear her voice more clearly. He felt even more that her voice was familiar now. He must have heard her in the game, and she must be some Naga boss that caused him a lot of trouble.

Who is she? Who is she?

Link started thinking back. In the game, he’d killed 16 Naga bosses from the Silversand Islands in total. Each one had their own characteristics. There were a few black-haired ones too… Wait, Link suddenly remembered her name.

Her full name was: Victory’s Vow, Agatha’s Glory, Katyusha in the Ruins. She’d appeared in the second half of the game and was one of the few horrible bosses that could only be killed with the Suicide Battle Technique.
