Chapter 533: [God-Felling Myriad Slash]
Howgrey has finally closed the distance. Beelzebub is flying around me. It’s not a good situation – I still understand too little of Howgrey.
“Dragon-god-sama! That woman…!”
Following Aro’s line of sight, I see the zephyr Lilixira is riding is almost here. Now that Howgrey’s in range, it seems she plans on attacking herself. Is she planning on using Howgrey and Beelzebub to settle this here and now…?
…No, that’s not all. While I’ve been distracted by Howgrey, Alphiss’s dragon has picked up the bloodstained Aruane and is now flying away. She's probably acting on Lilixira’s instructions. If Lilixira's going out of way to save Aruane, then does this mean she still has plans for her?
I had hoped to prioritise finishing off Aruane, but I haven’t got the leeway for that now.
“This is no time to be looking away, evil dragon.”
Howgrey springs up towards me.
I also jump, hoping to escape into the air. There should be a limit to how high he can get with [High Jump]. If I can escape beyond that, his sword shouldn’t be able to reach me… But then, his body appears to blur in the air, and his velocity suddenly increases.
Wh-what was that just now!? Was there some footing I couldn’t see due to the fog!? Or, is one of his skills capable of doing that!?
