Valerian's massive frame cast a shadow over the corpse-filled battlefield as he flew toward Oswald and Hemingway.

The young dragon had never been in a fight before. Now, in his first ever proper battle, he was up against two Rank 2 Magi who were significantly stronger than him.

Yet, he did not back down. For he knew of the grave consequences if he did.

All his life, he had been protected by Adam.

But today, it was Valerian's turn to protect him.

With a resolute roar, he flapped his wings even harder and sped toward the two Magi. He brandished his claws and prepared to strike his enemies.

Although Oswald and Hemingway had decided to join the fray out of their sheer greed, not for a single moment did they let their guards down.

They could sense that the dragon's strength was equivalent to that of a mere Rank 1 Magus. However, they were still highly vigilant against this mythical beast.
