On the battle, the crimson haired woman was still fighting the black dragon's clone.

On the other side, against the real body were, the little girl; Lucia, Ileana, Augustus and the black robed middle aged man.

Seeing that it was outnumbered, the black dragon couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Do you think that you can win by increasing your numbers ?" It mocked.

"Maybe ... but that certainly is advantageous ... against a fake one like you." Lucia answered.

The black dragon along with its pairs of ruby eyes, gazed at them—suddenly, a malicious smile appeared from its mouth.

"It seems as if you think this numbers were enough— so, how do you feel about this despair?"

Raising its black claws, the black dragon dug the claws into its chest.

Huge amount of blood started gushing out, dyeing the upper body of the black dragon dark red. The blood trickled unto the ground, before it started to move

suspiciously as if gaining life.

The blood then started to change shape to be and become a new clone just like the other one.

Witnessing this move, Lucia, and the others started to feel anxious on top of trembling.

That sight was too abnormal for anyone. Just dripping a drop of blood, A small black dragons started to appear, and exuded a sense of coercion that rivaled that of the real dragons.

"Now, then .... let's start."

... ...

In front of the four girls, a battle that which they had never seen the likes before was happening.

Inside the battlefield which was filled with dusts and dirt floating in the air, they could see the black dragon and its clone—just small glimpses of his true form: a dark clawed hand the size of a boulder.

His angry roar rolled across the forest like a nuclear blast. The other small clone darted through the clouds, circling the it.

The black dragon was even larger than Mazinger Z or Voltes V. Waving its huge claws and scaly tail, it roared angrily like a thundering wild beast. It smashed the trees and plants into powder and cracked the ground, causing earthquake that shake the forest.

The five people battling it looked tiny in comparison. They just looked like speck of light or tiny flashes.

On their horrors, Feme and the others realized that the black dragon was trying to swat them like mosquitoes.

When they squinted, they would see a golden lightning flying into the blackness.

Then beside was some kind of huge fiery bird— or man—dived in to attack the dragon.

Hovering in midair, Augustus was cloaked in the strangest avatar the girls had never seen. A vaguely human form swirled around him--- Lower part reptile, upper part a blazing human figure with red shiny scales. And he was spitting flamethrowers every now and then.

Augustus let out a roar as he fought, spinning a blood colored spear made from flames.

"Wow ..." Misuzu couldn't help but muttered in daze.

Four other figures flew circles around the black dragon. Ileana was easy to spot as she glowed like a golden sun.

She shot bolt of golden lightning at the black dragon, but they didn't see them to have much effect as it was often block by the clone.

There was also a little girl who keeps on summoning specter and ghosts that would sometimes explode when it touched the black dragon and its clone's body.

The black robed guy bombarded the black dragon with his shadow attacks. With a simple wave of his hands, black colored shadows suddenly bursts out from his back and shot towards the black dragon like black colored lance.

On the other hand, before the black dragon and its clone stood the crimson haired woman, a seemingly shining apparition too bright to look at directly.

Everyone could hear her voice and angry roars, summoning waves of fire against her enemy.

Her image danced in the hot vapor, causing the dragon to misjudge her and the others location every time it struck.

---A mirage.

Mirages were supposed to be illusions occurring in hot deserts.

Like images of cities and oases wavering on the far side of scorching sand and hot wind—a mirage projecting the crimson haired woman's image had appeared. And not just one or two.

However, although they looked like they were doing good in fighting the black dragon, but the truth was that the battle were still standing in a stalemate.

For a while even though they were not in danger, but also does not have the upper hand, there is almost a faint trend where they were on the downside.

The black dragon was really too strong.

It was holding his own against these strong people. When it was wounded or cut, it would instantly recovered as though nothing had happened.

Just like when the crimson haired woman swung his flame sword and managed to burn away patches of its skin, but the damage seemed to heal almost instantly.

Skeletons and corpses straddled the black dragon's back, chomping down again and again with their bony and rotten jaws. However, they didn't seem to bother the black

dragon as it just swat them with its scaly wings.

"You disgusting bugs!!" At this moment, the black dragon was truly enraged.

Seeing that the pestering bugs in front of him was getting annoying as time passed by, its eyes glowed in crimson light as it roared angrily at the heavens.

The situation was in the process of changing. At this moment, the dragon suddenly changed the direction it was flying in.

Typically the wings of a bird would be affected by wind but a dragon’s movements transcended common sense.

Mana could control gravity, allowing it to accelerate quickly. Its acceleration overcame the limits of the laws of physics.

Rather than heading towards the ground at a reasonable speed, the dragon plummeted down at a 90 degree angle... towards the little girl.

Did the dragon deemed as the little girl; Lucia as the most annoying?

The black dragon somersaulted and aimed at Lucia with its left claw.

Seeing this, Lucia immediately activated her skill.

" [ Bone Armor ] " She muttered. In an instant, her whole body was immediately covered with white bones as if it was an armor. Her small hand began to cover with bones and formed into a bone-like gauntlet.

"Aaaaahhhh!!"

Taking advantage of her sudden growth of strength, Lucia throw a full-powered punch to reach a conclusion.

“Gah!!!”

“Wha!!”

The black dragon and Lucia rallied each other, and were both surprised at the weight of the opponent’s blow.

However, the black dragon was only slightly surprised for a moment and started to get serious.

Instinctively, Lucia flew back, and retreated from her previous position. However, despite Lucia’s display of perfect adaption in the sudden change in events, she was still one step too late.

“Pest….”

Lucia did not have the capability to dodge as the dragon's very sharp claws suddenly fiercely caught her right shoulder, slashing downwards, extending up to the back sending her flying by the searing energy wave.

She coughed out blood from her mouth unceasingly, her cute and beautiful face was extremely pale.

The fierce pain couldn’t help but make Lucia to breath hardly for a bit. Just that, if not for Lucia's fast evasion, the wounds would have been deeper than it was now, but the scope would absolutely not just have been in the back, but certainly extend up to her left waist.

"Gaha-!"

"Lucia!!" Seeing Lucia shot like a bullet towards the ground, the crimson haired woman couldn't help but shout anxiously.

Boom!

"How dare you!!!"

Turning her face towards the black dragon clone standing on her way, the crimson haired woman was greatly enraged. She was suddenly surrounded in brilliant crimson light, making it hard to look directly at her.

Like a madman, she bombarded the clone with dozens of fireballs the size of a basketball--- each one exploding against the clone's body at the moment they made contact.

"Graaaaahh!!"

The clone retaliated, swinging its tails and shooting out its own black colored fireballs but it couldn't seem to find her. Her location shifted like a mirage, always several feet away from wherever it struck.

Booooom!

The clone suddenly exploded. Its whole body turned to ash, swept by the wind.

Seeing the clone exploded, the crimson haired woman couldn’t help but sneer at it.

Hurting my family? A provocation? Interesting! How long has it been? How long has it been since the last time I’ve been provoked?

The crimson haired woman suddenly felt her blood rush up.

Looking at the black dragon in the distance, the crimson haired woman's eyes

became colder and colder again.

A mere fake that turned into a disgusting monster, dares to provoked her the

Crimson of the four stags?

Since its very daring, then it should also have the confidence to cope with her violent side.

He will die!

The crimson haired woman without hesitation sentenced this fake dragon to the death penalty in her heart, moreover it will be one that’s more miserable death than the clone!
