NOVEL NEXT Dragon
Pov Dia,
Grayfia: "The pleasure is mine, little sister of Sirzechs Gremory, Dia Gremory."
Dia: "Even though I doubt the answer, will you surrender? I promise no harm will come to you."
Grayfia: "If you were expecting a negative response, I’m afraid you’re right."
Dia: "Since diplomacy has failed, I’ll have to force you to surrender."
I created a crimson bow while Grayfia began to form ice around her.
Pov General,
They stared at each other for maybe a minute before Dia rushed to get behind her and shoot an arrow. Anticipating the attack, Grayfia formed a huge wall of ice that blocked the arrow with ease.
The fight continued with Dia launching arrows and Grayfia responding with ice attacks.
Even though it might have seemed they were of equal strength, Grayfia started to struggle because Dia was flying in all directions, forcing her to focus intensely just to keep track of Dia’s movements.
Dia: "Let’s move to a higher gear."
Grayfia's expression became more serious after hearing this, and she fought with renewed determination.
Dia disappeared, and her aura vanished as well. Without Grayfia realizing it, Dia was now behind her, ready to shoot at close range.
Dia: "Checkmate."
But the arrow never reached its target because a ray of pink energy rushed in and destroyed it.
Dia took some distance to assess the new arrival standing next to Grayfia.
She appeared to be a young human girl, around fourteen or fifteen years old. She had shiny platinum pink hair tied in two ponytails and blue eyes. A crimson horn adorned her forehead, and she had large wings. She wore black armor, which contrasted sharply with Dia’s sakura-pink haori.
But one thing about this girl stood out.
Dia: "A dragon."
Her concentration intensified as she prepared for any attack because the dragons are known to be the strongest and most merciless race.
Grayfia: "What are you doing here?"
Dragon: "I’m here to help you and to tell you to fall back with the troops."
Grayfia: "You’re not going to fight her?"
Dragon: "If I don’t follow the plan, I’ll be banned from eating, so I won’t fight."
At that moment, a teleportation circle appeared under their feet just as Dia rushed toward them at maximum speed with a murderous look.
Dia: "I won’t let you escape!"
She created her Imperial Crimson Claymore and attacked the circle.
Grayfia and the dragon both thought, "It’s useless, you can’t do anything now."
As the weapon touched the circle, it began to tremble before exploding, sending Dia several kilometers away from her original position.
Grayfia and the Dragon, on their side, were heavily weakened as if they had just been subjected to an energy attack. The Dragon quickly prepared another circle while Grayfia stood in shock at Dia’s actions.
Grayfia, "It’s impossible; she managed to destroy a magic circle. The only one known to do this is a god of destruction."
As they were being teleported, Dia regained consciousness. No longer sensing the aura of the Dragon or Grayfia, she lay down on the ground, exhausted.
A communication circle appeared near her ear as she tried to contact Sirzechs.
Dia: "Sorry, Oni-sama, Grayfia managed to escape. I just hope one of us encounters her again before she gets killed."
Sirzechs: "It’s rare to see you fail at something."
There was a hint of both grief and mockery in his voice.
Dia: "How was I supposed to stop her when a damn Dragon came to rescue her?"
Sirzechs' tone became much more serious.
Sirzechs: "We’re in trouble if they’ve managed to get Dragons on their side."
Dia: "As long as we’re the ones facing them, we shouldn’t have any major problems. But if it’s somewhere we’re not present, they could be in real danger."
After cutting off communication, she headed off to find Sera and Rimuru.
