Valdel and the others who were able to escape from their pursuers were now a few miles away from the town of Grenton . Knowing that they were near the town, they started running faster, but then they saw something fly above them .  

A huge figure came down from above blocking their path . It was a skeleton of a creature that was feared as the strongest being that could match even the G.o.ds themselves . It's huge form that was twenty meters high coupled with its ma.s.sive wings, even as an undead skeleton you could still feel its strength, its majesty, this was the apex creature, a Dragon .  

Valdel clicked his tongue as he no longer had any mana to fight such a strong opponent . While Lara who was being carried by Iselv doesn't seem like she would wake up anytime soon . The only ones who were battle-ready at the moment were the holy maidens and Hilda . Aside from the two holy maidens, Valdel's impression of Hilda wasn't that good, so he wasn't expecting much from her .  

The dragon roared at them, that simple roar was filled with mana making the already weakened Valdel and the others tremble . This was a dragon's roar that can subdue weaker opponents with ease .  

The two holy maidens stood in front of the group . Hilda stood to the side waiting to give support if possible . She knew her limitations and was aware that she won't be much help against something like an undead dragon .  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"How wonderful an opponent that could satisfy my G.o.d's thirst for battle . I Rachel Hvanttar the holy maiden of the temple of the War G.o.d Hieus, shall show my might in battle!" Rachel summoned her halberd and gladly welcomed the strong opponent .  

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

"Pitiful creature, that has lost the pride of dragons, and has been made a tool by the heinous elder lich, I Natasha Ivanov the holy maiden of Tiditte the G.o.ddess of Justice, shall grant thee the justice you deserve," Natasha spoke in a neutral tone as she summoned her weapon that was the blade of a guillotine that was attached to chains .  

As if it simply waited for them to introduce themselves the dragon attacked after . It swiped at the two maidens using its claws . Rachel instead of evading pounced forward aiming the tip of her halberd at the skull of the undead dragon . She tried to pierce its skull but to no avail, as her attack simply bounced off .  

Natasha, on the other hand, jumped to the side and threw the guillotine blade at the body of the undead dragon . She then guided the blade using the chains attached to it, wrapping the wings of the undead dragon . She then released an attack similar to thunder from her within her body, that flowed through the chains and attacked the undead dragon .  

This momentarily stunned the dragon, Rachel who saw that opening gathered mana to her holy weapon and it started to burn crimson flames . With all the power she had, she threw her weapon like a javelin aiming at the undead dragon's skull . The halberd that was covered in holy crimson flames was flying at breakneck speeds towards its target . The Crimson flame grew larger and larger until it finally hit the undead dragon, piercing a bit of its skull .  

Upon getting pierced by the halberd with holy crimson flame, the flame started to envelop the undead dragon . The undead dragon roared and then flew upwards, as it flapped its wings the flames that were enveloping it gradually weakened . Natasha who was holding onto one of the wings had no choice but to let go since if she didn't she might be pulled upward .  

On the other hand, Hilda was protecting the weakened group members from some of the debris that kept on flying there way from the intense battle .  

The undead dragon flew higher and started gathering mana onto its mouth . Upon seeing this the two holy maidens had the same thought . It was coming one of the Dragons' strongest attacks, Dragon's breath .  

Rachel who had her halberd pierced the undead dragon's skull, resummoned it onto her hands . She then stood side by side with Natasha, the two holy maidens looked at each other and saw the grim expression the other had . They then nodded at each other and lifted their arms upwards forming a s.h.i.+eld that was made from mana and holy powers .  

Valdel who was watching at the side gritted his teeth, in his current state there was no way for him to fight . Still, he couldn't just give up .  

'Zwei, Nika please grant me all the mana you have left . '

'As you wish my master,' Zwei answered as per usual .

'If that is your wish, master,' Even the silent Nika answered .  

Valdel stood beside the two holy maidens and using the remaining mana he had plus the mana Zwei and Nika were providing him, he helped strengthened the mana s.h.i.+eld .   

Kithra also did the same thing as she too raised her hand upward and used all her mana and poured it into the mana s.h.i.+eld .  

Hilda who was still in full fighting shape was able to pour every bit of her mana into the s.h.i.+eld .  

The undead dragon was finally done charging up for its attack as it finally unleashed its very own dragon's breath . The Dragon's breath of the undead dragon was not burning flames, but instead was freezing ice . The ma.s.sive breath of ice hit the mana s.h.i.+eld making it crack a little .  

The breath didn't stop and instead started to get even more powerful, as the surrounding area which was an open field was turning into an icy graveyard . The four of them supplying mana into the s.h.i.+eld felt their bodies were freezing over .  

Iselv who had no mana to speak of, simply hugged Lara's body trying to protect her from the cold aura of the dragon's breath .  

After a few more seconds the dragon stopped releasing its dragon's breath . The moment it stopped the mana s.h.i.+eld that was protecting the group broke, and all of them except for Iselv were panting heavily .  

They then saw the undead dragon charging up for a follow-up attack . When they saw this, despair and unwillingness were seen in their expressions . As the second dragon's breath was about to be unleashed on them, they heard a familiar voice . It was a voice that sounded both irritated and lazy .  

"Really, you guys just keep on giving me trouble . " As the dragon's breath was about to reach them, a large magic circle formed underneath their feet, and then boom . The dragon's breath hit the ground harming no one .  

The group was teleported a couple of hundred meters away . Beside them was the one who teleported them . The person who had messy green hair was stretching his body and yawned . He looked lazily at the bewildered group and spoke, "You guys head back to town and recuperate . I'll handle the oversized lizard . "

This man that had no motivation as he casually said he would deal with an undead dragon, was the one and only Guild Master of Grenton's adventurers' guild, Nezzard Netter .
