""Eh?""

Feme and Misuzu was surprised as they casted their gaze towards Lucia.

"That fake seems to be stronger than what I had expected. He could very well be a match for the tyrant—those on the level of dragon kings."

Tyrants; Rulers of sky and the conqueror of men, in other words, a dragon king.

These were publicly recognized powerhouses such as the legendary Tiamat or the Fafnir, Jormungdr or Vritra.

It was said that just one of these monsters could single-handedly wipe out humanity from the surface of the planet.

The legendary Disaster Class Monsters ...

However, how could a mere imitation ... a fake acquired such power and regeneration ability ?

Someone is behind this ...

Lucia's face suddenly became sharp.

She couldn't help but think that someone is behind the black dragon because, she couldn't understand how a mere fake such as the black dragon in front of her could gain this much power.

If they said that it was a real dragon then she wouldn't be surprised but the only black dragon existed in the world even in ancient times was the devourer; the Queen's beloved pet!

So how could there be a second black dragon ?

Lucia turned her head and look at Lyle who was being protected by a stone wall. He was the real and only black dragon ...

So what is happening ?

Above her, the crimson haired woman seems to be thinking the same as her face distorted in a scowl.

“Haaa… Haaa…”

Her current beautiful face looked pale. She was hurt by her inability to defeat the black dragon.

“Tsk… For one of the four stags like me …. To lose to a low born dragon…”

Just when she was provoking the dragon…

The black dragon suddenly shot a ray of black flames at them.

Gritting her pearl white teeth, the crimson haired woman once again summoned a wall of crimson flames. Her pair of phoenix eyes radiated an intense killing intent.

"Damn it! Even if our powers were greatly reduced, killing this damn fake should have been easy! Just what the heck is happening here ?!"

She looked at her wrist and saw the dangling golden bracelet. This was the thing sucking her powers and was sending it to somewhere.

Because of this, same as Lucia, their current powers were quite limited.

'Tsk-! What should I do ? Should I removed it? ... No! I can't do that!'

Successfully blocking the black dragon's attack, the crimson haired woman flew a bit higher and glared at the black dragon.

"Fake, there is only one black dragon in the world, and that is my brother! How could you possess the might of a real tyrant ? A dragon king ?"

Hearing her question, the black dragon suddenly stopped.

"Black dragon ? Did you mean the black one ?" The black dragon muttered. His voice carried a hint of mockery.

"The black one was already in the past ... just like that old man; Tiamat. Right now, I'm the real black dragon."

"Shut up fake!"

"Me a fake ? Hahaha, I've devoured the dragon king; Tiamat's flesh and blood, I'm now a real dragon! Possessing the might of a tyrant! The real conqueror of the sky!"

Tiny pulses of magic were released together with the voice, spreading out around the explosive flames.

""What?!"" Hearing this declaration, not just the crimson haired woman but Lucia which was standing on the ground

felt greatly shocked.

Their body stiffened.

"Y, you mean you killed old man Tiamat ?! How can that be ? you don't have that kind of power!"

"Even still ... the fact that I devoured his flesh and body would never disappear. Hahahaha Look at this body! Look at this power! I've already transcended far greater than the Dragon Kings! Specially, even greater than that shameful Black Dragon; Nidhogg!!!"

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL MY BROTHER SHAMEFUL!! YOU DAMN BEAST!!"

Following her voice filled with intense anger, a storm of crimson flames swirled up towards the black dragon.

Bang!

However, the black dragon's massive body, which had boldly allowed the flames to burn him, was once again revealed ...

"Fufu... you can't reached me with this pathetic flames? "

Listening to the dragon's arrogant voice, the crimson haired woman and trio could not believe their eyes for a moment.

"Completely unharmed, is he...?"

"Crap. I was hoping to see how much damage her attack could inflict, but..."

"Total ineffectiveness is too unexpected, right!?"

Calm and composed, standing inside the flame vortex, the enemy remained completely unscathed.

“You’re cornered now.” The black dragon laughed in mockery.

“Shouldn’t that be referring to yourself?” Ileana was grinning like a shark.

At this moment, Augustus suddenly appeared out of nowhere, attacking its wide chest.

“Impudent-!” The black dragon flew backwards.

However, behind him was the black robed middle aged man. The spear shaped shadows behind him appeared and launch at it. He was deadly serious.

Nobody could follow those movements.

In just a split second, the three launch their attacks in coordination.

However,

The black dragon took a big breath and spewed out flames from its mouth.

It wasn't something as plain as a flamethrower; no, this was as if a giant pillar of black flames flew out of its mouth.

“Spread out!”

Seeing this attack, Augustus immediately yelled and hastily flew backward.

ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAR

However, despite their distance from the flames, with the exception of the crimson haired woman and Augustus whose bodies were covered with flickering flames, both Ileana and the black robed man could still feel the heat and the created shock wave.

The black flame breath then continued flying through the sky and vanished cross the horizon.

“Gugh!”

Augustus successfully avoided the attack, but the might of the attack was so great he could taste something rusty clogging his throat.

Seeing Augustus fly raggedly, the black dragon laughed.

His black wings flapped together and his huge body instantly appeared on the path that Augustus was flying on.

His huge serpent tail was suddenly swung. The terrifying force that it contained actually caused the space to have a sort of distorted feeling.

Sensing the terrifying strength of the dragon tail, Augustus' expression changed. He did not dare to met it head on.

His body swiftly twisted and dodged it. Although he dodged the attack, the force from it still sent him flying a couple

of meters.

“Dammit!” Ileana cursed softly.

Her golden lightning danced in the sky and flitted across the back of the black dragon.

“Husband! Be careful!”

“Pa!”

The crimson haired woman launched her fire spears right after while gritting in anguish. This fake self proclaimed dragon was really strong! She couldn't help but affirmed that thought.

"Die!"

While moving rapidly, the black dragon fired black colored balls to attack the fire spears launched by the crimson haired woman.

The fire spears was completely destroyed and there were even some black balls left, and assaulted the crimson haired woman.

“Tsk-!”

The crimson haired woman dove in the air and passed under the black balls. At that time, a few black balls grazed at her, but the intense flames covering her whole body protected her and successfully reflected them.

“All of you, dragons have massive magic reserves that is why its attacks were very frightening. Be very careful!”

The crimson haired woman was one of the four stags in ancient times and was even acquainted by several dragon

kings so she obviously knows that the flames used by the black dragon had been created by altering the dragon's

breath using magic.

"""I understand!""""

"I'll take the front! Cover me!”

Augustus shouted and immediately accelerated his speed towards the black dragon.

Drawing a curve in the sky, he approached the black dragon. He was getting closer to the dragon so he could attack, while at the same time making it hard for it to use its breath.

“That's no use....”

The black dragon responded by turning its head and opening its mouth once more. It was planning on frying Augustus before he could get close.
