Chapter 167.1
Desert Battle Part 2
“You missed.”
Aishe spits out in a cold tone of voice from atop the huge armored dragon, a cavalry beast.
The armored dragon may have the name “dragon,” but they were not real dragons. Like the winged but unarmed wyvern, the armored dragon was a “sub-dragon” species, a large lizard without wings, and no matter how much it grew, it never exceeded Rank 4.
However, real dragon species were fundamentally different. Even a lowly earth dragon could reap a group of adventurers with a single breath strike, and even a man-made spire a few kilometers away could be shattered.
Earlier, Aishe had spotted a “foreign object” trying to fly away from the top of a crumbling spire and had the dragon attack it. However, perhaps it was not aimed well enough, or perhaps the distance was too great, as it only managed to chip away at the top of the tower, and the foreign object was still trying to ascend further into the sky.
“…I believe that was called a balloon?”
Aishe realized what the foreign object was when she was able to see the whole thing. It was the first time he had actually seen it, but he remembered what his “sister” had taught him decades ago.
Aishe’s gut instinct told him to attack. However, his intuition proved to be wrong.
It was hard to believe that such a thing could have been in that run-down town. Whether it had anything to do with the Khalfaan Empire was unclear, but either way, if they missed it, the Demon Army’s invasion would more than likely be known to the human nations.
