Chapter 61

【The top of the Wang Gong!】

【Belserion’s roar was still echoing.】

【At this very instant, Irene reacted; even wearing high-heeled boots, it didn't affect Irene’s agility!】

【Just the moment she caught a glimpse, her body subconsciously began to act.】

【All this was thanks to the special training during this period.】

【In the training, Irene had often sparred with Natsu.】

【Those fast and powerful attacks had once made Irene suffer, but they also trained Irene to have extremely high agility!】

【Her figure lunged violently to the side.】

【Immediately after, she curled her whole body into a ball, rolled a circle on the ground, knelt on one knee, and looked at the place where she had just been standing.】

【Bang————!!!】

【Sure enough, the massive object, which was so fast it was almost invisible, directly crashed into the position where Irene had just been standing.】

【The floor of the Wang Gong terrace shattered with a bang, and countless stones fell downward!】

【With just one strike, the top floor of the Wang Gong was more than half destroyed!】

【The violent roaring sound still echoed in everyone’s ears.】

【The pervasive smoke and dust were almost blocking people’s vision.】

【"Dragon!! It’s really a dragon!"】

【Small stones fell from the sky, hitting the still-intact parts of the floor, making a crackling sound.】

【In the pervasive smoke, Noel was looking in terror at the massive object currently flying not far opposite everyone!】

【His pupils were trembling crazily!】

【At such close range, Noel could even hear the giant dragon’s heavy breathing.】

【It was like hearing the thunder roaring from the outside world while huddled under a quilt.】

【Although the sound was muffled, it was still terrifying!】

【Dylan, on the side, was even worse; a nauseating, fishy smell had even permeated between his legs.】

【His aged body couldn't stop trembling; lying on the ground, even though no one was restricting him now, he couldn't get up no matter what.】

【"Ah... help... help... Queen, save me!!"】

【In despair, Dylan could only pin his hopes on Irene, who was silently staring at the giant dragon not far away.】

【As the strongest combat power on the top floor of the Wang Gong, perhaps only by calling Irene would there be a glimmer of hope.】

【"And... and me! Irene, if you save me, I guarantee that our kingdom will also participate in this battle and help you overcome this difficulty, so you must save me first!!"】

【Noel also deeply understood this truth, even though his legs were trembling with fear.】

【But the cry for help was exceptionally clear.】

【But...】

【Irene, who was staring at the giant dragon, only glanced at Dylan and Noel.】

【Then she turned her gaze away: "I said, if you two can survive at the hands of the giant dragon, I will give you a way to live!"】

【Hearing this, Dylan and Noel were completely panicked.】

【"Irene, don't be so heartless. When I assisted your father..."】

【"Yes, Irene, didn't you want our kingdom to send troops together before? Now, if you save my life, I will definitely make my father send troops!"】

Outside the sky screen.

Irene: "That bastard is indeed still like this, a coward to the bone, a guy who only dares to bully the weak and fear the strong."

August: "However, I am curious, will Irene in the sky screen really soften her heart and save these two guys?"

Irene: "Impossible, I know myself."

"Although I still held a kind heart at this time, I wasn't stupid. Knowing that these two intended to harm me, it’s impossible to save them."

Invel: "Is that so? That’s for the best. But what I find funny is, does that guy named Noel actually agree to send troops now?"

Irene curled her lips in disdain: "Of course, that kind of hypocritical person, as long as his own life is endangered, he will agree to anything and can do anything."

Wahl: "By the way, are you guys focusing on the wrong place?"

"Is it a question of saving them or not? When facing a giant dragon of this level, even Irene in the footage is in danger of her life, right?"

Indeed, just as Wahl said.

It is no longer a question of whether to save them or not, but...

A question of how Irene in the footage can escape from the Thunder-Descending Dragon.

At this moment, in the sky screen footage.

【Irene also deeply understood this truth.】

【Irene didn't care at all about the endless chatter of the two guys behind her.】

【At this moment, her muscles were tense, and her gaze was locked firmly on the Thunder-Descending Dragon.】

【Her pupils kept contracting, and she was completely immersed in a state of extreme focus.】

【At this moment, the world seemed to have slowed down a lot.】

【All the shouts and noise from the beast were actively ignored by Irene; in her world, at this moment, the world was incredibly quiet!】

【Quiet to the point... that she could hear the changes in the giant dragon’s heartbeat and other sounds.】

【The initial application of Dragon Power allows one to gradually gain a dragon’s senses, touch, hearing, vision, etc...】

【Irene was currently in such a state.】

【The senses far exceeding those of a human allowed Irene to clearly perceive every tiny movement of the giant dragon at this moment!】

【This was also the greatest harvest Irene had gained from training with Natsu over the past few months.】

【A drop of cold sweat gradually seeped out from Irene’s smooth forehead.】

【Then it slowly slid down her fair skin.】

【Finally, it landed on the dust-covered floor.】

【Drip...】

【It was an extremely subtle sound, but at this moment, in the world of one dragon and one human, it was as loud as a thunderclap!】

【It was more like the sounding of a gong for battle.】

【At this instant! The giant dragon moved!】

【"Left!!!"】

【Such a word appeared in Irene’s mind for the first time.】

【She didn't hesitate at all and instantly burst toward the right side!】

【The speed was incredibly fast, like an arrow released from a bow!】

【However, even though Irene reacted at the first moment and even started her movement.】

【The Thunder-Descending Dragon’s speed was not slow either; its flapping wings drew streaks of lightning in mid-air.】

【Boom——————!!!】

【The Thunder-Descending Dragon’s massive body crashed directly into the top floor of the Wang Gong.】

【The remaining half of the floor shattered completely at this moment, falling toward the next level.】

【Even Irene, who had just made a dodge, and the trembling Noel and Dylan behind her, followed the shattered floor and fell toward the next level.】

【Boom boom boom————!!】

【Below the top floor of the Wang Gong was the spacious and luxuriously decorated reception hall!】

【Huge stones fell onto the floor of the hall, making one roaring sound after another.】

【Countless smoke and dust rose accordingly.】

【Roar————!!!】

【The smoke and dust that filled the entire hall were completely blown away under this roar of the giant dragon.】

【The smoke dissipated, revealing the massive body standing in the hall with its wings spread.】

【Golden runes flickered on that body.】

【Even in the air, little sparks of lightning were flickering.】

【At this moment, Irene was also pinned under a huge stone, struggling to pull herself out from under it.】

【Seeming to have noticed Irene’s current predicament.】

【The giant dragon stopped roaring, its eyes glowing with a scarlet light, looking at Irene, who was unable to move, and Noel and Dylan, who were crying and begging for mercy not far behind Irene.】

【A voice filled with rolling laughter resounded within this hall.】
