Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

However, the doctor began to question whether this confidence could withstand the test of reality.

What could make an individual with both high mobility and high defense even more threatening?

The surrounding air began to feel hot and light, and a sphere brighter than the sun appeared in the sky, as if confirming their deeper worries. The question that slipped out unintentionally revealed that no one would use a white lie to deceive those present and escape reality.

"I'm starting to feel more and more that it really is my sister."

Although she doesn't have many opportunities to use Chixiao on a regular basis, and she is strong enough, having Chixiao in hand often gives Chen an extra motivation that is hard to explain.

But now, with Chixiao unsheathed and held tightly in his hand, Chen felt unexpectedly powerless.

Because the dragon had regained its balance and opened its mouth wide—the sphere, brighter than the sun, was a giant fireball that had gathered in its mouth.

Even at this distance, you can feel the scorching heat of the air. If it were to fall to the ground, no one knows what would be left afterward.

Speed, defense, and "firepower".

"No, I can't 'touch' that sphere; the heat will just flow back through my spell."

"Then set up the defenses as high as possible, and hopefully its attack range won't injure the operators who get blown away!"

They were even powerless to interrupt the opponent when they were about to attack.

There is nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide.

The only option is to confront them head-on.

The two landed and joined the Doctor and Chen. Amiya planned to use magic to help Rosemary build the strongest defense with annihilation equipment.

But amidst the gradually warming wind, a chilly current was stirred up.

The massive icicle melted the moment it hit the ground, turning into a plume of steam that obscured the view.

Then, the steam immediately condensed, turning into frost flowers that fell to the ground.

"There's no real reason why I feel like this monster is actually Talulah."

Froststar's voice rang out, and the "outsider," who was no longer a stranger, walked up to the group.

"I think she is."

Chen saw Frostnova, who, like her, had gone to Chernobog for personal reasons, appear here. Without saying anything else, she simply agreed with her idea.

The sudden reinforcements didn't even cause a ripple.

Even if it's Frost Star.

Given the current situation, how can we possibly win?

If a dragon had its own thoughts, it wouldn't believe it could lose.

Because it also saw the frost star falling from the sky, but did not exhibit any additional behavior as if it were a threat.

Until it moved its lizard-like eyes and saw a "familiar black dot" flying towards it from a distance at roughly the same altitude as itself.

Although Amiya and Kal'tsit had both warned Rosemary not to overuse her Originium Arts and to use only the oddly shaped staff behind her for casting spells, she would not hesitate to use her abilities when entering an emergency such as battle.

The most frequently used spell is "Perception," which helps her better understand the battlefield and the enemy situation—perceiving the target and then "touching" it in a suitable way to destroy buildings, bunkers, or paralyze the target.

Therefore, she would have some abstract perception of things within the battlefield area.

For example, dragons, in her mind, are giant black suns.

Frostnova is cold and sturdy. If Amiya hadn't introduced Frostnova to Rosemary beforehand, she probably would have treated her as an enemy and used magic to intercept her.

But now—something unfamiliar has appeared on the battlefield.

Rosemary felt it was also very large, but not to the point of being compared to some buildings or even modern dragons.

The problem is that rosemary feels difficult to bind, or rather, it would be an exaggeration to say that it is "completely impossible to bind".

A huge, powerful, and uncontrollable indescribable thing is flying in the sky.

Just as the rosemary noticed its presence, the dragon in the sky also used its eyes to pinpoint its location.

However, the dragon's reaction was clearly far more intense than that of rosemary.

The sudden swaying of its body was not a lingering symptom of the previous attack, but rather a simple sign of "panic." Its constantly flapping wings stirred up a fierce wind that whipped up sand and stones on the ground.

What was originally a fireball aimed at the ground, capable of turning the ruins beneath it into a sea of ​​fire, now faces the approaching flying object as it raises its head.

"Don't come any closer!!!"

The moment the enormous, scorching fireball left its mouth, the dragon also uttered a hoarse yet deafening human voice.

This proves that it possesses sufficient wisdom and reason, yet disdains to utter a single word in the previous battle.

But now, when it utters words for the first time, it merely expresses a consistent state of panic in accordance with its actions.

"It spoke!?" The first thing the people below noticed was naturally the fact that "it can speak," but the dragon's movements seen through Frostnova's ice immediately drew their attention to something else—"Who is it talking to?"

The fireball, trailing a bright contrail, streaked across the sky, overshadowing the blazing sun. The air distorted from the intense heat, and the ceaseless roar of the fire, burning without any support, could be heard even from hundreds of meters away. People had never witnessed such a devastating attack from outer space, comparable to an Originium rain or a meteorite catastrophe, under a clear blue sky.

"boom!!!!"

It also unleashed a terrifying power that was no less impressive than its appearance or imposing presence.

The sun dimmed, as if all its brilliance had been absorbed by the fireball that had struck the black spot.

The explosion, which expanded instantly and generated sparks with a radius of over a hundred meters, shook the core city ruins that were deeply embedded in the earth. The spreading heat wave blew across the ground and even reignited the remnants that had not yet completely turned to dust.

—This is just the effect of exploding in the air.

If it lands on the ground, it will spread even more recklessly, setting the entire land ablaze.

However, the raging flames did not cease with the eruption, but strangely paused as a flame was rekindled in the dragon's mouth.

They stopped spreading and burning, as if frozen in time.

When the dragon closed its jaws again, crushing the flames in its mouth, the still flames contracted towards the center, compressing it into a bright sphere that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

"boom!!!!!"

Then, it exploded again.

The entire sky, not just a small area above the core city, but also covering the surrounding wilderness and several neighboring scattered areas, was engulfed by the ferocious flames that burned away all the nearby clouds.

An apocalyptic scene once again appeared over Chernobog.

This was even more powerful and terrifying than the previous burst of flames; it was definitely not a natural flame.

However, given its scale and effect, no one wanted to believe it was a "weapon" or a "skill".

"Control the flames you launch and then detonate them to create a more powerful destructive effect."

If the battle hadn't taken place thousands of meters above the sky, and the target hadn't been themselves, none of the people inside the protective shield would likely have had the leisure to analyze the intelligence they had gathered.

Rosemary had not experienced the previous rescue mission in Chernobog, but as a party involved and participant, the Doctor and Amiya had already glimpsed something familiar in the sky.

She burned the heavy armored squad to ashes like melted butter.

—She blew the guards to shreds like she was tearing paper.

—The firepower of the sniper operators was easily suppressed by the real "firepower," and the Originium Arts of the caster operators were easily dismantled by the even stronger fluctuations.

"...That is indeed Talulah's Originium Arts."

Finally, Frostnova, with a solemn expression, revealed the truth that was truly hard to admit.

"But why? Even putting aside why she became the legendary figure, since she is Talulah, and can even speak, why can't she even... me?"

Although her intuition had told her that the monster in front of her was related to her sister, when the facts were confirmed, it was she who found it hardest to accept.

Too many questions remain unanswered, so all one can do is hold tightly to the throbbing Crimson Sky and watch the conflict unfold, one from which there is no way to intervene.

Chen knew very well that once he stepped out of the protective shield, fighting against it would only lead to his death.

The opponent possessed absolute aerial mobility and firepower suppression. Even if Chixiao could sever magic, he would only be reduced to ashes in the face of the endless sea of ​​fire descending from the sky.

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Hahahahahaha!!!

The flames from the second eruption had not yet subsided in the sky when a strange laugh, the very sound of the dragon, once again filled the ravaged space.

It was laughing hysterically.

"No plans are needed anymore."

A tremor descended upon the earth as the dragon's feet landed in front of the protective shield erected by the doctor and the others.

It uttered complete and clear words, its scarlet eyes, filled with disdain, fixed on the stubborn resistance that clung to the space of less than ten square meters in front of it.

The dragon raised one of its feet and stomped heavily forward.

"Now, with the power of this Drak, let's completely wipe out everything that stands in our way from the world!!!"

It spoke of its immense power in a tone that was completely foreign to those who once knew Talulah.

But its steps stopped.

The dragon could not move forward even an inch.

The reason for this is the pulling force from the tail.

It seemed as if something had caught its own tail.

But it had no chance to turn back.

Because in the next instant it felt the world turn upside down.

—A hundred-meter-long, ten-thousand-ton body was thrown into the air, landing on its back with its tail at the center, and sinking deeply into the already compacted ground.

The cracking of the ground and the deafening roar of the dragon were deafening.

But it seemed unable to drown out the voice of a familiar figure stepping on its nose.

"This is enough for cooking for a year, enough for the whole of Rhodes Island."
