From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

The transparent droplets after crying are still stuck on my face.

"don't want……"

only this……

only this.

Absolutely no compromise!

The speed of the blade slowed down a bit.

It was as if the last ceremony was being performed.

Finally, the blade stabbed forward fiercely!

Coco once again put her petite body...

Completely, falling on the sharp blade!

“Give it to me… stop it aa ...

The tender little hand has already tightly grasped the sharp blade.

Blood also oozed from his palm.

His footsteps hit the ground hard, but he was pushed and dragged, and finally hit the foot of the wall.

Only his eyes were staring fiercely - just as the legs that were holding up were about to be pushed and bent.

But Coco gritted her teeth and raised her head again.

He used up almost all of his body's strength, making full use of his agile and springy calves.

Put all your strength into it:

“Give it to me… stop it, ahh ...

The blade passed through Coco's little hand, even rubbing against her bones, making a creepy friction sound, until it hit the handle.

Coco even opened her little fangs, lowered her head, and bit down hard on the cold blade!

Finally... I don't know whether it is true or not, I was originally hesitating.

The blade finally trembled imperceptibly.

"Cha-"

The blade deflected slightly and stuck into the wall.

Coco turned back.

The sharp, flashing edge... just barely pierced the wall on the side of Lily's neck.

That tender neck...is still completely white.

“Win…?”

Coco slowly put down one hand.

It seemed as if there was no power left in the knife.

Looking at the deep wound on the palm of his hand, the bone was visible.

Ignoring the blood gushing out... Coco carefully put down her other hand.

"Ping Pong."

The knife. Just like that, fell to the ground.

"No, is everything alright?"

Until the last moment, he was still standing in front of Lily, seeming to be there and not there.

As if he still couldn't believe... this final, belated victory.

"Puff." My legs lost all strength.

In an instant, Coco fell to her knees.

He lowered his head and let the bright red soak his palms.

"Li, Li...Lily...Lily..."

He kept repeating it in his mouth.

...Did we win?

Did I really win?

Is this finally... a victory?

Did Lily survive in the end?

"…It's…already alright."

"...Huh?" Coco's eyes suddenly narrowed.

It was as if I heard such an unbelievable, childish voice.

Control the impulse and don't look back.

"…It's all right now. Awooo."

The softness and warmth that I had always expected pressed against my small body from behind.

Coming from there is a familiar and purer fragrance.

As if caressing and comforting myself in a childish way.

"...Li...Li?"

243. Dragon's Breath

"Roar--!!!"

The dragon's neck bent and its huge body overturned like a tsunami.

In the smoke and dust, Edith discovered that it had turned its huge body around, and its thick and long dragon tail swept forward!

Edith retreated hastily and was tumbled by the air flow while still in mid-air. Then she became aware of the dense cutting concepts in it, like scattered blades like tiny raindrops.

Such a huge number, and such a torrent of magic power...

...That's the dragon!

"boom--"

The dragon pushed back Edith who was blocking its way, and its flying tail continued to sweep across Veblen's body which was also bound by concepts.

The thick and long tail tip flickered slightly, and the restraints around Veblen were also easily cut off.

Veblen, who was free again, was also knocked back, but his face was full of frivolous laughter:

“You are trying your best, Master Yaerti. Master Yaerti, this is no joke… Hehe… Then, I will also…”

"Just do your best."

A huge force of repulsion suddenly twisted around the retreating figure, and the huge monster that suddenly appeared seemed to swallow up Veblen's body with its huge mouth!

On the crumbling ground, gradually, orderly stacked black scales appeared on the body.

From a distance, it seemed to have a somewhat scary dark red tint.

That was... another dragon.

Edith steadied herself by rubbing the ground, and saw that Tobias's long skirt was clean as new and he was already standing behind her.

"The Dragon Clan's [Power] not only brings absolute strength, but also the right to choose between being a [human] and being a [non-human]." Tobias said slowly:

"A human body carries experience and knowledge, while a dragon body carries power and authority. ... Since this child is an ancient dragon, the hidden power seems to be much deeper than the experience brought by age."

Compared to the giants around him, Veblen's body was only half the height, but it was still powerful enough to give off the pressure of a dragon.

Like a subordinate dragon, Veblen spread his bone wings that were half the size of Yarti's, leaned against Yarti's side, and roared while spreading his wings.

And the dragon in the absolute center once again lowered its bright eyes and stared at Edith and Tobias.

It spread its wings to try to stop not only the two elves in front of it who were about to try to go deep into the abyss.

And later, there will be people of all races coming!

"... one, ten to twenty generations. Plus one... three generations."

Edith looked up and faced the pressure from the opposite side, and her body couldn't help but step back.

...the third generation of dragons.

Once upon a time...all they left behind were myths and legends.

Among the living creatures on earth.

They are perhaps the species closest to God.

But why would such a huge creature appear in such a place?

"It's not one of those ancient dragons that have been dormant for a long time." Tobias looked up: "This ancient dragon is still too young."

"Young...?"

"Her strength is limited by her age... She hasn't even started to grow yet. Even her divinity hasn't been fully utilized." Tobias said, "The dragon body she revealed was only barely able to display her strength. She's still too young."

Barely capable? ... Edith looked up, unable to conceal her shock.

The dragon shadow you see is full of oppression.

It was already intimidating enough to be comparable to those [Title Holders] he had seen.

In other words, he had already far surpassed the level that he could fight against.

However, from what the elder said... it seems that it can only be considered [barely]?

"There is still some distance to reach the level of a Title Holder." Tobias said:

"No matter how the duel goes, she can't win. ... Strength is not just about filling up the power."
