"I suppose so, as far as I can see. But it's a tactic that was devised so as not to endanger the hunters as much as possible.

　Jin, who had a bad feeling about this, instructed Edgar to send in the direction of the upper reaches of the Lugada River.

　After two minutes of flying, it became clear what it was.

　They have a habit of forming groups and live near the poles at latitudes above 60 degrees north .......



"I wonder if they have migrated south in search of stray Siamese dragons."

　They migrate south from their native habitat once every few years in pursuit of prey.

"Oh no, I think it smelled the blood of a Siamese dragon.

"...... Jin, can't you do something?"

　Zion decided that he had no choice but to ask Jin.

　Flora, who knows Reiko the least of all these people, is so dismayed that she seems to have forgotten how to call her Hilde.

　Theon and Marikka pretended not to hear her, since they had already noticed the Grand Emperor (Hilde).

"It's all right, Flora. It's not a matter of struggle or worry in your case, Reiko. You'll understand if you just watch her."

　Reiko struck the approaching GRANDRAGON with her right fist, clad in warding, directly in front of it.

　The fist exceeds the speed of sound and crashes into the grand dragon with its warding.

　As if it had hit a wall of steel at 2000 km/h, Grand Dragon's body was crushed beyond recognition.

　No, it is more important that there were no usable parts left before that.

　The meat was tougher, stinkier, and tastier than that of the pseudo dragon (Siamese dragon). The skin loses its elasticity and becomes brittle if it is not treated properly.
