Chapter 168 - 167: Battle of Wits
As Tassera transformed into the Blue Dragon, Leon decisively retreated to the corner of the room, leaving the battlefield open.
Even though they had known each other for many years and had recently developed an extremely intimate relationship, it didn’t hinder Leon from knowing that Tassera, as a Storage Dragon, wasn’t particularly strong. Even if she was a bit stronger than an Efreeti, it wasn’t by much... He had seen Tassera fight and even sparred with her a few times, but she had never gone all out.
As a dragon, Tassera was undoubtedly at the top of the food chain, but the Sphinxes were no worse than dragons. The challenge level of a male-faced Sphinx was comparable to an adult Red Dragon, while the female-faced Sphinx wasn’t as strong as the male but was likely a bit more formidable than a normal young Blue Dragon.
It seemed that today he might finally get to see how powerful Tassera truly was.
"Are you sure you want to duel with me?"
The female-faced Sphinx watched the Blue Dragon who stepped forward.
If the Red Dragon and Blue Dragon attacked together, she honestly didn’t have much confidence, and her only option would be to grit her teeth and go for it. If things went south, she’d use Otherworldly Transmission to escape, then find a way to enlist powerful adventurers for help—since the Impermanence Card couldn’t be stored in any Dimension Bag—to steal the Impermanence Card from the Red Dragon’s lair.
Because of the Comet Card, the Blue Dragon actually wanted to duel her one-on-one... It was laughable for a mere young Blue Dragon to think it could defeat a female-faced Sphinx, especially since this was her territory.
The female-faced Sphinx was confident she could defeat the Blue Dragon, incapacitating it. After that, the Red Dragon wouldn’t sit idly by, but a lone young Red Dragon wasn’t a threat to her.
"I’m sure."
"Haven’t even started yet, and you’re a bit too happy, aren’t you?"
