Valdel and the others who were able to escape from their pursuers were now a few miles away from the town of Grenton. Knowing that they were near the town, they started running faster, but then they saw something fly above them.
A huge figure came down from above blocking their path. It was a skeleton of a creature that was feared as the strongest being that could match even the Gods themselves. It's huge form that was twenty meters high coupled with its massive wings, even as an undead skeleton you could still feel its strength, its majesty, this was the apex creature, a Dragon.
Valdel clicked his tongue as he no longer had any mana to fight such a strong opponent. While Lara who was being carried by Iselv doesn't seem like she would wake up anytime soon. The only ones who were battle-ready at the moment were the holy maidens and Hilda. Aside from the two holy maidens, Valdel's impression of Hilda wasn't that good, so he wasn't expecting much from her.
