Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"no problem."

Nidhogg's massive body vanished instantly, transforming in mid-air into the appearance of a black-haired girl. Strangely, she was wearing a man's coat and nothing else.

"Don't worry about it, it was stolen from humans before."

Nidhogg herself was a little embarrassed, clutching her clothes tightly with her hands.

Section 159 Group: 10②00③7⑨9② 151 You're actually a princess?

Although Nidhogg had wrapped her body in a coat, a considerable amount of blood still flowed from her skin. The shapeshifting technique only altered her appearance; the injuries she had sustained remained.

Estia also transformed back into human form. Although her clothes were intact, the extent of her injuries could be seen from her exposed skin.

"Once my strength has fully recovered, we'll have a fight."

Nidhogg felt a little unsatisfied, but since her strength hadn't fully recovered, she made an excuse to end the fight; otherwise, she would have been humiliated by the defeat.

"Why do you keep talking about fighting all the time?"

Estia actually injured herself on purpose. After fighting Nidhogg, she realized that the adult black dragon was nothing special and that she could easily defeat it.

However, as a dragon, she understood that dragons were a race that valued their reputation highly. With so many onlookers watching, Estia had no choice but to continue acting in order to save face for Nidhogg. A situation where both sides were evenly matched and injured was the most perfect outcome.

She estimated that Nidhogg's level was definitely no higher than 300. If she, at level 400, got serious, her opponent would not be able to harm her in the slightest.

"Fufna, go and bring your friend out. I need to talk to Nidhogg alone."

"Okay~ Is Sister Esther alright?"

"It's perfectly fine, you shouldn't be able to tell by tomorrow morning."

Estella has many deep wounds, so the acting should be genuine to make it believable.

As expected, Fufuna was more concerned about her sorceress friend named Lysty, and hurriedly flew to Nidhogg's dragon lair to find her.

Estia and Nidhogg also chose to land on the ground. The latter said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself when I was fighting."

"It's alright, this little injury is nothing."

Estia was once pierced through the heart by a giant crossbow bolt, but she still survived, which shows that she has an extremely strong vitality.

"But you are the one I'm most curious about. Where are you from? What ethnic group do you belong to? Do you have any other friends?"

Faced with Estia's three questions in quick succession, Nidhogg shook her head: "I live alone, and as for clans and such, when did dragons ever divide into clans?"

"Since the destruction of the kingdom, the surviving dragons have lived in groups."

"I see... Wait, what did you say?!" Nidhogg's reaction time seemed a little slow. "Which kingdom was destroyed?"

"The Destruction of the Dragon Kingdom".

Nidhogg was so shocked she couldn't speak, and finally asked uncertainly, "You're not kidding, are you?"

"I'm not kidding."

Estia vaguely guessed something: "Have you been asleep for many years?"

"Around 1,500 years ago, he only woke up in the last few days."

"..."

Good heavens, Nidhogg wasn't even born before she went to sleep.

Estya knew that dragons loved to sleep in, and many dragons could sleep for decades or even centuries in a safe environment.

But someone like Nidhogg who has slept for thousands of years is truly a first for me.

Over a thousand years, the world has changed dramatically, and Estia believes that there must be a reason for Nidhogg's slumber; it's impossible for her to have been sleeping for over a thousand years without any cause.

We can ask about the relevant information later when we are more familiar with each other. Now that we have confirmed that the other party is a black dragon, Estia will add her to the roster of the existing dragon clan members.

This is also one of her little habits. Things are valued for their rarity, and Estella always feels a sense of kinship when she sees her fellow dragons.

"Could you tell me what has happened over the past thousand years? Especially about the kingdom, and who was the last Dragon King?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with the history of destruction. I was born when the Dragon Kingdom was destroyed."

"Oh, I see..."

“But I can tell you that the last Dragon King was my father, but his name… I don’t know.”

A thousand years have passed, and Esther has still not found the true culprit that led to the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, all relevant evidence regarding the history of the Dragon Kingdom no longer exists.

Perhaps she knew less about the Dragon Kingdom than this senior named Nidhogg in front of her.

"What!? You're Princess?"

"No, no, no, I can't bear this title. What kingdom or royal family would I have?"

When Esther reveals her identity to each new dragon she meets, they all address her as princess, but she says she doesn't deserve the title at all.

"The Dragon Royal Family is a pure-blooded silver dragon race, so your words are highly credible... but if you really are a princess, why don't you try to rebuild the kingdom?"

"Rebuild?" Estia heard the funniest joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "As everyone knows, dragons have low fertility and a low desire to have children. Where am I supposed to find citizens?"

"Find the existing dragons, although they probably won't reach the size of their peak, but..."

"Just a friendly reminder, the number of dragons currently existing on the entire continent of Faya, including those I haven't discovered yet, probably doesn't exceed double digits."

"..."

Nidhogg's body had turned completely gray; she couldn't believe what Esther had said about the current situation.

"If you don't believe me, you can explore it for yourself. I have no reason to lie to you."

"How...how could it have turned out like this...What happened...?"

Nidhogg clenched her fists, clearly seeping into her fury.

"I've been looking for the reason, though I don't have high hopes for it."

Estia no longer has the same determination she had back then. Her wish is to live well in the present. She has told different people her philosophy more than once: cherishing the present is always more important than dwelling on the past.

"Damn it! I should have woken up sooner..."

"Looking at it from another angle, this is actually a good thing. If you had woken up during the time when the Dragon Kingdom was destroyed, would you still be alive today?"

"Uh……"

"Based on a comparison of the dragon mouths before and after the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom, the survival rate is less than 0.001%."

"But I am...!"

Nidhogg suddenly fell silent. She sighed and said, "I still find what you're saying about the current situation too incredible. I'll investigate it myself."

"Then keep it up."

Estella knew that it would be hard for Nidhogg to believe the truth.

"Your name is Esther, right? If my investigation confirms everything is true, then please allow me to follow you."

"Huh??"

This suggestion surprised Esther.

"After all, I have always considered myself a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom. If the kingdom is truly destroyed, then it is only natural to follow the surviving princess."

"Nidhogg said."

Chapter 160, Page 152: Miss Long is not a bad guy.

In order to verify Estia's claims for herself, Nidhogg greeted everyone and then eagerly transformed back into her original form, flying north. Estia watched her figure gradually disappear from sight, and then suddenly thought of a question.

Generally speaking, adult dragons should transform into adult males/females, so how come Nidhogg is a little girl after transforming?

Considering the opponent's strength during the previous battle, it's very likely they weren't at their peak.

"hiss……"

Estia moved her body slightly, and the tugging at her wounds caused her some pain.

However, this minor injury meant nothing to her. She did it on purpose, otherwise, if the other party felt humiliated, who knows what the consequences might be.

There are too few dragons on the continent of Faya, so Esther must do everything she can to become friends with them. She dares not gamble on whether Nidhogg will be as friendly as before the duel after being defeated, since the black dragons are all a bit... petty.

"Sister Esther! Listy is safe!"

Fufuna happily held the white-haired witch's hand, her tail swaying like a propeller, which showed how happy she was.

Well, except for Fufuna, that black dragon, who looks quite adorable right now.

"We meet again, Miss Witch."

Estia greeted Lysty first. Lysty had rare white hair, while Estia had silver-white hair. Although the two hair colors were different, they were very similar and both seemed to glow in the sunlight.

"Thank you so much!"

Lysty knelt down directly before Estia, but only on one knee, to show her loyalty to Estia.

She had originally gone to the Abyss of the Dark Realm at the invitation of Fufuna to become Estia's subordinate, but now, before she even reached her destination, she was saved by the other party.

Seeing the wounds on Esther's body, she felt guilty but also deeply moved, as Esther was injured while saving her.

“There is also a witch in my Netherworld Dragon Abyss. I feel that the two of you may have something in common.”

"There are witches too?!"

As beings transcending humanity, witches have formed an independent race. However, this so-called "race" is rare, with only a few dozen witches in the entire continent of Faya.

Lysty increasingly felt that going to the Abyss of the Netherworld was the right choice. She loved studying magic and alchemy, and if she could exchange experiences with other witches, she might make even greater progress.

It was almost noon when Esther checked her friends list and found that Ye Qingxian was already online.

This idiot didn't even message me to ask where I was right away.

"Let's go back to the Netherworld Dragon Abyss. Fufuna, can you take Listy with you?"

“If it’s Lysty… then yes.”

Fufuna hesitated only for a moment before agreeing to let Lysty sit on her back, which showed that the two of them had a really good relationship.
