[Muse point of view]

They did it! They stop the great dragon, or that's what I would like to scream from the bottom of my heart, seeing the elegant and dashing husband of mine from afar, I can barely make out a figure of three, with my husband Rean pointing his katana onto Fawan, while Elise with her staff and mana card ready at any moment to threaten and immobilise the fallen prince of the Kiserre Kingdom.

"The dragons, they're still after us...? Why!?"

One of the citizen, in a panic, shout at us, demanding an explanation, and the only possible explanation that I can give him at this moment is

"They're dragon after all. Even without their leader they can act independently given their intellect... Which is a contradiction in itself. I can't see why those dragons, fake as they are, to continue their rampage..." [Muse]

Given that they're product of the doppelganger flower, I suppose they're trying their best to destroy us all, whose been threatening the womb from which they're born with, but alas, I can't just see that as the main reason. There are without a single doubt, a better way for those horde of dragons to do so, not just by reducing everything into ashes. Unless they are given order by the one with a higher level of hierarchy than them, they wouldn't do so, and given how Fawan is currently being apprehended by my darling, there is only one more possible explanation that I can think of and that is...

"You told me that Fawan came with the serial killer dwarf if I'm not mistaken, could it be, the serial killer dwarf, is out here, somewhere... giving order to the dragons..." [Muse]

"No... But given the situation" [Doppelganger prince]

"Anyway, I'll contact the other orphans and let them know about it. If I'm not, the description of the serial killer dwarf should be..." [Long hair girl]

The long hair girl quickly reach out her phone and tell the other regarding the possibility of Karon's father, the serial killer dwarf is behind this. Just when I am about to do the same

"I heard about it when I was just about to call the other orphans. Muse, could you guys please form a search group and look for him ASAP. Of course, it goes without saying none of you should engage with him given how powerful and dangerous he is" [Diana]

Princess Diana is already one step ahead of me. Of course, by her order, I quickly gather around any remaining forces we could muster and look for our possible culprit, but alas... None of us found anything. It's entirely possible that this hypothesis of mine be wrong, but given that there is no other plausible explanation, then can all of us safely assume the reason those dragons are on their rampage spree be, simply because they feels like it

"GAAAH!" [Rean]

"DEAR!" [Muse]

From one of the watcher, I can see my dear husband getting slash by a crystal dragon, while Elise try her best with her evolved beastly transformation to cure the deep wound. They might heroes, but even they will have their own limit

Come on now Muse! Pick up your pace! Pick up your pace! Rean, my dearest Rean, I don't want anything bad to happen to him. He endure all kind of assault, be it fron physical one such as the threat of the devil, to political because of his status as the leader of the heroes marrying me, the daughter of a bastard to that of an emotional one like constant harassment

"Rean! Hang in there! Space magic: Translocation!" [Ash]

"Appreciate it!" [Linda]

Mr Ash quickly use his translocation magic to bring Rean out from danger. Mrs Linda, who was just beside Rean, try to do the same to the rest but her spell Keep getting interrupted by the dragons

"ROAR!" [Behe]

Behe sacred roar agitate the dragon further, taunting them, basically saying to fight someone of their size, giving the other the much needed opportunity to fall back and retreat from horde of dragon surrounding them, and finally saving Behe itself from assault of two fire dragon and a wind dragon ganging up on him

"Running out of mana..." [Kara]

"Damn it, same here..." [Mara]

"Retreat first and chug down any remaining portion you left" [Aries]

""Right!!"" [Kara, Mara]

The other are also nearing their limit, but not all lose is hope as

"The number of dragons also being thin out" [Long hair girl]

"At this rate, we might make it out alive" [Lizard beastman]

'But that doesn't mean we should stop searching for the true culprit. Even as we have destroy the flower, for all we know, the could easily place one at an unknown location and recreate all the disaster once more" [Muse]

"That's true. Meaning we are still in a race against time. I won't be surprise if a horde of behemoths or giant worms will be next" [Resistance leader]

"Dammit, if only that damn serial killer dwarf is a good hearted person like Karon or the traveler king, we wouldn't be running around aimlessly like this!" [Elf orphan]

Like the elf said, if only Karon's father is on our side, he will definitely be a valuable ally like Mrs Aries herself or Mr Ash, but now, we are stuck in a loop of worrying about the others and the constant anxiety of searching for him to prevent any possible wave of incoming attack.

"Can't you think of somewhere as a fellow dwarf!?" [Merchant]

"AS IF!" [Dwarf]

Somehow, the joke that merchant make fall into my ear, and just somehow, just somehow, my eye focus solely on the ground underneath me...

"Princess Diana... I think there's one possible location that all of us miss" [Muse]

Calling through my phone, Princess Diana quickly answer it

"The ancient tunnel of this country..." [Diana]

That's the only possible location left. As Princess Diana word echoes through my surroundings, those besides me couldn't help but to stare at the ground momentarily, and somehow, each one of us can tell in unison, that our highest chance of meeting the serial killer dwarf lies inside the tunnel
