Ever since I was born in this world, I always thought that my life would be safe due to my initial impression about my parents being the most powerful people in the world.
Even though my parents, my Mom and Mother, are said to be the most powerful beings in this continent, they are very loving and caring towards me and my sister.
I have been bathe by their soft and bouncing pair of love that I promised myself to protect my family from any damage and trained myself enough to be worthy of their shield.
For years, I used to believe that my mothers are unparalleled. But it was gradually losing its foundation as I grow up and gained more understanding about this world.
The longer I live in this world, the more the anxieties I harbored within myself. Along with it, I discovered that there are existences that are more powerful than my two beloved mothers.
Such as the unknown one, who I assumed to be a lot more powerful magician than Mom, that entrapped me, and this Level two thousand fox lady that I met just now.
A few of those existences are the Ancient Dragons, said to be the pinnacle of the dragon race. It said that there are seven of them living in this world, three are currently in this continent.
For me to prepare myself from these flying catastrophes, I sent out my Clairvoyances to investigate the ancient dragons settling on this continent, which later gave me unsettling results.
The Light Ancient Dragon of the Rashi Mountain Range was measured to be around Level two thousand, obviously at a level way above my mothers individually.
As of now, I cannot consider the dragon a threat. Historically, that dragon had no record of atrocious acts and only hunted its food in the mountain range. So I concluded that this one is safe.
Even if it turns out to be hostile, I have analyzed its capabilities and developed countermeasures against it.
The Earth Ancient Dragon of the Dragon’s Valley, on the other hand, bested the Light by more than a hundred levels.
That one is competitive since it was surrounded by the prideful and aggressive dragons of that valley. Because of its element, that dragon is quite durable, but it is still manageable with the aid of my ultimate.
But the third Ancient Dragon of the Northern Continent, the Dark Ancient Dragon, the apex predator of this vast and dangerous sea of trees, was the one I found troublesome.
It’s Level, statistics, skills, and resistances. Its whole existence is just pure troublesome. Even with my current skills and abilities, I am still doubting if I could overcome this one, even with the aid of a Celestial Fox.
And right now, the Clairvoyance that was assigned to watch the dragon has notified me that it is flying fast as it is directly approaching our location.
“Madam. Let’s move to another location. I don’t want this place to become a ruin.”
“I understand.”
A battle between three thousandaires (including myself if my level were estimated) would cause catastrophic damage around the battlefield.
Moving to another location is the best thing we can do to prevent the plain from being destroyed or at least minimize the damage.
After that, I shifted my attention to Azrael and the two monsters.
“Azrael, you know what to do.”
“Of course, SirBoss.”
I had telepathically ordered Azrael to watch and guard this place in case a stray bullet landed on the plain. There might be the possibility of a stampede of monsters who are running away from the catastrophe.
Griffith was a given, but I have the fox to participate as well. She will be living here, so it is reasonable for her to join the defense team.
The same reasoning was applied for the vixen too. Helping me out with this problem would increase my evaluation of her as well as the establishment of trusts.
“Hold my hand, madam.”
“Sure.”
Once I assigned the tasks, I handed them over to the fox queen, which she graciously accepted.
“Let’s go.” I muttered before we instantly disappeared from the grassy plain.
◆◇◆◇◆◇
Two hundred kilometers south of the circumference of the plain, the fox queen and I appeared ourselves in the middle of the thick condensation of trees.
The fertility of the soil in the forest is so rich that it overgrows the trees on it. The average height of the trees near the depths is over a hundred meters.
There was even a tree with kilometers of height that was located at the very center of the forest, almost the same height as the world tree of the elven forest. But that tree was actually not a tree.
“So you have such a rather convenient spell, Mr. Raphael?”
“Yeah, this is the result of my cautiousness.”
“That’s right. Even though you lost the battle, at least you are somehow alive.”
Even at this distance, I can assure you that the dragon will follow us. If it could sense us from its nest in the mountains, I am sure it could trace us up to here. Well, I am not even sure if its target was one of us.
But I suspected that the dragon’s target was the fox queen herself. Dragons are prideful beings, especially the older ones, so they might dispose of the powerful creatures who entered their domain.
Fortunately, as I can see from the live feed, the dragon changed its original course and flew towards our current location instead.
“Good. It is heading towards us.”
“How were you able to perceive it this far? Was that the work of your unique skill?”
“Yeah. Something like that.”
These past months, I have been unveiling some of my skills one after another. The reason for that was to display my improvements to my mothers.
Mom had evolved her Appraisal skill into an Analysis extra skill, so she could take a look at my skill board now. I have been demonstrating all sorts of skills; it would raise suspicions if Mom could not find it on my tabs. 𝓫𝓭𝓸𝓋𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
I had analyzed the fox queen and found out she also possessed the Analysis extra skill, which she used to analyze me and excavated my unique Omnidirectional Perception unique skill.
Honestly, the current coverage of my detection system cannot reach the location of the dragon. My Clairvoyance was actually keeping an eye on it. Well, let’s leave that cover to deceive this vixen.
“Oh! I can sense it now.” She exclaimed, then faced northward with me.
Around seventy kilometers away from us, the dragon had reached the vixen’s radar. Though not as wide as my unique skill, the coverage of her detection is vastly wider than Mom’s, which reach up to fifty kilometers.
It is currently flying at the speed of sound, which is unbelievably fast for something of its size. At that rate, it would reach our location within four minutes.
“We still have time before it arrives, madam. Do you have anything else you want to do?” I turned my head to the left and asked.
Just as I said, we still have free time before the arrival of the dragon. We can do some preparations during that period.
“Well, you calling me madam is a bit uncomfortable in my side. There is no need for the landlord to be formal for his tenants.”
“You do not possess a name, and you are the queen of your kind. So it’s plausible that I am being formal towards you.”
She decided to talk out our free time as the dragon was flying at full throttle. I don’t mind; we are about to fight a much more powerful monster and cannot be certain of our survival.
“How about giving me a name then? Just kidding.” She suggested, but took it back and chuckled.
“I don’t mind giving you an identity.” I simply replied.
“Eh? Are you sure?” She astonishingly asked after turning her face toward me.
“Yeah, it would be too plain if I just addressed you as madam. Besides, I already had decided upon the name I would bestow upon you if I were given the opportunity.”
Madam is not a name to begin with. If I wanted our gaps to shrink, I would have to call her by her own name.
If I gave a half-lion, half-eagle monster a name, it would be more of a reason not to leave this bombshell unnamed.
“Once this battle is over, I will give you and your daughter a name.”
“If you are certain of it, it’s our pleasure to accept your offer. I will do my best to help you with your problem with this dragon.”
“You better survive.”
“Of course.” She said so, but was wearing a simple smile.
I made a promise to her before the battle started. I actually don’t want to raise a flag unconsciously, but she is, at least, motivated.
Once that matter settled, we stared back in the direction of the approaching dragon and waited for its arrival.
