Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

[At the very top of the palace!]

Berserion's roar still echoed.

In that instant, Eileen reacted; even wearing high-heeled boots didn't hinder her agility!

[In just a fleeting moment, out of the corner of my eye, my body instinctively began to move.]

All of this is thanks to the special training we've received during this period.

During training, Irene sparred with Natsu quite a bit.

Those swift and powerful attacks caused Eileen immense suffering, but they also honed her exceptional agility!

[His body lunged suddenly to the side.]

[Then, he curled up into a ball, rolled once on the ground, knelt on one knee, and looked back at the spot where he had just stood.]

【Bang----!!!】

As expected, the enormous creature, moving so fast it was almost invisible, crashed directly into the spot where Eileen had just been standing.

The floor of the palace rooftop shattered with a deafening roar, and countless stones rained down below!

With just one strike, most of the top floor of the royal palace was destroyed!

The deafening roar still echoed in everyone's ears.

The pervasive smoke and dust were almost obscuring people's vision.

"A dragon!! It really is a dragon!"

Small pebbles fell from the sky, making a crackling sound as they hit the still-intact parts of the floor.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Noel stared in horror at the enormous creature hovering not far in front of them!

[His pupils were trembling violently!]

At such close range, Noel could even hear the dragon's heavy breathing.

It's like hearing thunder rumbling from the outside world while you're snuggled up in bed.

Although the voice was deep and muffled, it was still terrifying!

[Dylan, standing to the side, was in an even worse state; a nauseating, fishy stench emanated from between his legs.]

His aged body trembled uncontrollably, and even though no one was restraining him now, he couldn't get up from the ground.

"Ah... Help... Help... Queen, save me!!"

In despair, Dylan could only place his hopes on Eileen, who stood silently nearby, gazing at the dragon.

As the strongest fighting force at the top of the royal palace, perhaps only calling upon Irene offers them a glimmer of hope.

"I...I'm here too! Eileen, if you save me, I promise our kingdom will join the fight and help you through this crisis, so please save me first!!"

Noel understood this deeply, even though his legs were trembling with fear.

But the cry for help was unusually clear.

【but……】

Eileen, who was staring directly at the dragon, merely glanced at Dylan and Noel.

He then turned his gaze away: "I told you, if you two can survive the dragon's clutches, I will spare your lives!"

Upon hearing this, Dylan and Noel completely panicked.

"Eileen, don't be so heartless. Back when I was helping your father..."

"Yes, Eileen, didn't you want our kingdom to join the war? Now that you've spared my life, I'll definitely get my father to send troops!"

Outside the sky.

Eileen: "That bastard is still the same as always, a coward at heart, a bully who only dares to pick on the weak and fears the strong."

August: "However, I'm curious whether Eileen in the sky will really have a change of heart and save these two?"

Eileen: "Impossible, I know myself."

"Although I still had a kind heart at this time, I was not stupid. Knowing that these two people intended to harm me, it was impossible for me to save them."

Imber: "Really? That's for the best. But what I find amusing is that this guy named Noel has actually agreed to send troops?"

Eileen curled her lip in disdain: "Of course, those hypocritical people will agree to anything and do anything as long as their own lives are in danger."

Val: "Seriously, aren't you guys focusing on the wrong thing?"

"Is the question now whether to save her or not? Even Eileen in the picture would be in mortal danger when facing a dragon of this level, right?"

Indeed, as Val said.

The question is no longer whether to save her, but rather...

The question remains: how will Eileen escape from the clutches of the Thunder Dragon?

At this moment, in the scene depicted on the sky.

Eileen understood this principle deeply as well.

Eileen paid no attention to the incessant chatter of the two men behind her.

At this moment, her muscles were tense, and her gaze was fixed intently on the Thunder Dragon.

His pupils contracted repeatedly, and he became completely absorbed in his work.

At this moment, the world seemed to slow down considerably.

All the shouts and noises from the beasts were deliberately ignored by Eileen; in her world, at this moment, the world was utterly silent!

It was so quiet... she could hear the dragon's heartbeat and other sounds.

[The initial application of dragon power allows one to gradually acquire the senses of a dragon, including touch, hearing, and sight...]

Eileen is currently in this state.

[With senses far exceeding those of humans, Eileen could clearly perceive every tiny movement the dragon made!]

This is also the biggest gain Irene has made from training with Natsu over the past few months.

A bead of cold sweat slowly seeped from Eileen's smooth forehead.

[Then it slowly descended along that fair skin.]

Finally, it landed on the dusty floor.

[Tick-tock...]

[What was clearly an extremely faint sound, at this moment, in Yi Long's world, was as loud as a thunderclap!]

It was more like striking the gong to signal the start of battle.

In that instant! The dragon moved!

【"left!!!"】

These words immediately came to Eileen's mind.

Without hesitation, he instantly sprang to the right!

[The speed was incredibly fast, like an arrow released from a bow!]

However, even though Eileen reacted immediately and even began to move.

However, the Thunder Dragon was not slow at all; its flapping wings drew streaks of lightning in the air.

【boom------!!!】

The enormous body of the Thunder Dragon crashed directly into the top floor of the royal palace.

The remaining half of the floor also shattered completely at that moment, plummeting towards the next level.

Even Eileen, who had just dodged, and Noel and Dylan, who were trembling behind her, fell down the broken floor to the next level.

[Boom boom boom—!!]

Below the top floor of the palace lies a vast and lavishly decorated reception hall!

The massive stones landed on the floor of the hall, producing a series of booming sounds.

Countless plumes of dust rose into the air.

【roar----!!!】

The smoke and dust that had filled the entire hall were completely dispersed by the dragon's roar.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the enormous body, wings outstretched, stood atop the main hall.

Golden runes shimmered across his body.

Even the air itself was crackling with flashes of lightning.

At that moment, Eileen was also trapped under the huge boulder, struggling desperately to pull herself out.

[It seems they sensed Eileen's current predicament.]

The dragon ceased its roar, its crimson eyes fixed on the immobilized Eileen, and not far behind her, Noel and Dylan, who were crying and begging for mercy.

A hearty laugh echoed throughout the grand hall.
