"A dragon!?"
Leon could hardly believe his eyes. In the sky, a massive black dragon soared, its gaze locked on him and Athena.
Its sheer size, reminiscent of a small hill, was enough to send chills down anyone's spine. Moreover, its fiery red eyes seemed capable of stealing a soul with just a glance.
"Damn it! How is there a dragon in the sky? How did I not notice it earlier?" Leon exclaimed in disbelief.
The dragon appeared as though it had materialized out of thin air, without the slightest indication of its presence beforehand.
With his alertness heightened, Leon turned to speak but stopped when he saw the cold expression on Athena's face.
Without thinking, Leon gently patted Athena's hand, which was wrapped around his waist, and asked in concern, "What's wrong, Athena? Why do you look like that? Do you know that dragon?"
Athena narrowed her eyes at the dragon, then nodded slowly.
