Inglis must have struck it a second time to change the path of the Ether bullet, but her movements eluded even Vufailabane. With that, it was convinced. There was no doubt that compared to that old king, this girl, who claimed to be his reincarnation, was much stronger.

A long time had passed since then, but for Vufailbane who had been asleep all this time, the battle with that old king was still a fresh memory. That old king back then couldn’t move at a speed the dragon couldn’t follow. Vufailbane was not an opponent he could beat, and he knew it well, so he expended a large number of his men and resorted to sealing Vufailbane through various means and tricks.

While the girl in front of him was different, a novel entity. Unlike the old king, her face when facing him didn’t show the sense of doom or gloom, she instead smiled and even came at him with all the joy one could find. The dragon had never seen anything like her before. He felt an indescribable, eerie feeling from her.

The next moment, the Ether Strike landed on the Vufailbane’s back.

『GOAAaaAAHHh?!』

「Alright!」

Quick, chase after it!

Inglis rushed to the point of impact, but even faster than her, the Dragon God twisted its body, spread its wings, and soared high into the sky. It really was flexible and agile for its enormous body.

And that is why… this is amusing!

Inglis didn’t waste her rush’s momentum and chased after him. Vufailbane flew up and fled, but before the still active Ether Strike hit the ground and exploded there, Inglis kicked it up and gave chase! But a shimmering torrent of frozen air was emitted ahead at the point of impact.

「——!」

The Ether Strike that received that attack finally lost its power and fizzled out.

『You can’t do the same trick now!』

「You’re good!」

The Dragon’s Breath, that had obliterated Ether Strike, came after Inglis. If she was to be exposed to this, her body enveloped in Ether Armor notwithstanding, even she wouldn’t come out unscathed.

As a race, dragons had power in their very existence, as they were capable of manipulating paranormal phenomena. Their unique biological power. The mechanism, the nature behind it… In the long days back of King Inglis, those who studied the Dragons called it Dragon Roar; a power fundamentally different from mere sorcery that relied on mana.

It was not rooted in the Ether, the very source of all things in this world. In other words, it was a power completely independent of the laws of this world and worked on a completely unknown system.

There were many theories to explain it. For example, one said that Dragons were originally from a world different from this one, or that the creators known as the Dragons were different from the Gods known to Inglis and all humanity, or that Dragons were once servants of Gods who killed their master and stole their power to develop their own power, and so on and so forth.

Which one was the correct theory, Inglis had no clue. But one thing she could say for sure was that the power of the Dragons was so mighty they could kill a God and snatch their power away.

In terms of quality, Dragon Roar was only second to Ether. Especially Dragon Roar that belonged to a Dragon God like Vufailbane was of the highest amongst Dragons.

Inglis continued to run around and dodge the Dragon’s Breath. The extremely compressed, glistening cold air quickly turned the ground into blocks of ice at the moment of contact, creating obstacles for her.

「The power of a Dragon God is fantastic, after all!」

Ice blocks shining like gemstones filled the surrounding area. Inglis was impressed at the sight.

A tremendous amount of power continued to be released for such a long period of time and it showed no sign of slowing down. If it was Inglis who had to continue releasing this much power for such a long time, she would have run out of juice already.

While it was not directly related to the outcome of this match, in terms of stamina, she couldn’t match the dragon. She had to admit this. She needed to train more and even more. There was no other way to close this gap except through training.

『What’s the matter? You’re just running around!』

「Well, what do I do then……?!」

Her opponent was in the air, while she was on the ground. In terms of position, the dragon had the advantage of being higher. For her to counterattack, she either had to jump up and strike it down or shoot an Ether Strike, both of which were linear attacks.

With such a large gap between the two, the agile Dragon God would react faster by either intersecting or evading. Ether Strike, especially, couldn’t be fired so many times.

Even if she wanted to change its trajectory by hitting it around, she couldn’t execute to her satisfaction due to the lack of footholds midair. Considering the difference of stamina, she had to make sure that every blow counted. For now, the only thing to do was wait for an opportunity as she ran around.
