I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

Normally, the five-colored dragons are never afraid of griffins. As the rulers of the sky, adult true dragons have almost no natural enemies—even though griffins are not weak, they can only bow down to the true dragon's might.

But the situation is completely different now:

Anna will be facing a fully grown griffin, along with its other entourage.

This was far beyond what the young dragon could handle, and even escaping became a luxury.

The adult griffins are much faster than the young dragons, and with the kobolds, goblins, and gnolls surrounding them, Anna could even smell the rotting flesh left on the kobolds' claws.

Wayne suddenly realized that he might have underestimated his mother, Tia.

As a fully grown green dragon, Tia has eaten more salt than Vayne has eaten meat. In addition, this is Tia's own territory. If Anna could escape here, then Tia would have lived in vain.

What?

Do you think it's shameless for an adult dragon to personally attack a young dragon and then mobilize its familiars?

Don't make your mother, Tia, laugh.

She worked hard to grow up, build her power, and gather her followers, not to compete fairly with others.

That's the thrill of absolutely crushing your opponent!

"And what about her?"

After a moment of silence, Wayne asked.

Bondi blinked, his golden beak opening and closing slightly, and replied in a tone that was somewhere between respect and helplessness:

"According to your mother's orders, he should have been killed directly. However..."

She paused, then looked at Wayne with gentle eyes.

"If Your Highness insists, we can wait for the Queen to return and let her make a decision."

Wayne remained silent.

He and Bondi had always had a good relationship. Although Bondi always maintained the proper etiquette of a monarch and addressed him as Your Highness, in Wayne's eyes, Bondi was more like a very good older sister.

Wayne could tell that Bondi was already helping him, and was even risking punishment from his mother by making exceptions to the orders.

Continuing to plead for her will only put her in a difficult position.

But... Wayne was still somewhat unwilling.

Are he and Anna very close?

That doesn't seem to be the case. It was only Anna who unilaterally accepted him as her husband, while Wayne treated her as his nominal mother.

In some ways, this relationship is even worse than that of the mother that Vari recognized.

However, even so, Wayne still felt regret because of Anna's death.

Ultimately, he still hadn't seen what the talisman represented by the blue dragon actually was.

On the other hand, Anna's situation was even worse.

As she watched the encirclement shrink, she repeatedly tried to break through, charging left and right, only to be repeatedly blocked by the kobolds' spears, the goblins' nets, and the gnolls' claws.

Anna didn't dare to fly.

An adult griffin could catch up to her in an instant, and besides, although Bondi was talking to Wayne, his eyes were locked on her like hooks, as if she would be killed instantly if she made any out-of-line move.

As the encirclement of her kin grew tighter, Anna's strength waned with each failed attempt to break through, to the point that the little dragon was on the verge of utter despair.

She looked around in despair:

"We're doomed, we're not getting out!"

"No, we can escape!"

Her response was Wayne's resolute voice.

But how could that be possible?

Wayne's voice was powerful, possessing a strength that made the dragon believe him without even trying!

But cruel reality kept telling Anna that she had no chance of escaping!

The encirclement had shrunk to three meters. The nearest kobold held a stone axe, its fangs gleaming coldly in the sunlight, seemingly ready to strike Anna at any moment.

However, at that moment...

Anna was shocked to find that her body was fading!

As if erased by an invisible eraser, the ice-blue scales, the thick limbs, and the magnificent wings all became transparent one after another!

Then, it completely disappeared!

……

In the shadows of the woods, Wayne was running away with Anna at top speed.

Feeling everything around him, the sense that he could make it disappear if he wanted to, made Wayne sigh that it was so good to have a mother.

In fact, from the moment Tia's mother appeared, Wayne realized that his lost passivity had returned.

He has an extra mother.

At the same time, the power of the Serpent Charm returned to Vayne's body.

At this moment, Anna, who was being led away by Wayne, looked at her transparent body with the same sense of wonder as a child who had never seen a toy before.

Green Dragon is skilled at ambushes, so she knows that Green Dragon usually possesses a stealth technique, but this is often during their teenage years.

Being able to use invisibility in the early stages of a dragon's life like Wayne is extremely rare; he can truly be called a genius.

Moreover, she always felt that the invisibility spell cast by Wayne seemed different from ordinary invisibility spells.

Even when she is invisible, she can clearly perceive her surroundings and interact effectively!

This is almost impossible for the effect of a normal invisibility spell!

Anna's first thought was advanced invisibility!

[Advanced Invisibility Technique]

[Fourth Ring Spell]

[Effect: You or a creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Any clothing or items worn or carried on the target will also maintain the invisibility.]

[In advanced stealth mode, attacking or being attacked will not break stealth mode!]

But... can a young dragon really master fourth-circle spells?

Moreover, Anna felt that what the other party was using didn't seem to be a high-level invisibility technique.

As a focus-type spell, Advanced Invisibility can only affect one target at a time.

But right now, Anna and Wayne are both invisible!

This is... advanced group invisibility!

Anna didn't dare to think any further.

Keep in mind that group invisibility alone is already a seventh-level spell, but group advanced invisibility...

Does such a spell really exist? Even if it does, it probably wouldn't be a Ring-level spell at all, right?

Anna was momentarily confused. She wished she had just made a mistake and that she only had a second-level invisibility spell.

Just as Anna was lost in thought, Wayne's voice interrupted her:

"Hey Anna, what are you doing? Can't you run faster?"

Seeing that the little girl's legs were almost too weak to walk properly, Wayne was really getting anxious.

If we don't run faster, then it really will be...

Anna, on the other hand, was somewhat taken aback.

"Didn't we already escape?"

"ran out?"

Wayne mumbled a reply as he ran.

"So why do you think my mom sent Bondi to chase after her?"

Anna was taken aback, her icy blue vertical pupils slightly contracting as she became invisible.

In an instant, Anna seemed to realize something.

Surely Wayne's mother couldn't possibly not know that he can turn invisible?

If that's the case, then sending people to chase after them means...

"You mean...?"

Anna's voice began to tremble.

However, before she could finish speaking, a sickeningly loud flapping sound rapidly approached from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Bondi's elegant yet authoritative voice pierced through the layers of shadows, striking precisely in the ears of the two dragons:

"Your Highness, please slow down~"

"It's really... naughty of you to take your guests running around like this."
