"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

"GAH!!"

Both Natalia and I were sent flying by a sudden impact. I rolled few times on the ground. When i raised my head, i saw horrible scene before me. Rosemaria was defeated. She was lying against the wall with traces of blood from her lips. 

Anastasia also was no better than her. She was still standing but her breathing was rough. Her clothes were tattered and i almost could see her underwear through the holes.

"Kuh, you're getting stronger it seems."

Anastasia said.

"Ufufufu, thanks for the praise. Though, i think it's you who's getting weaker."

Filma replied. She was standing on the roof while looking down on us. There's no trace of wound on her body. Even Anastasia who had the highest level among us was still helpless against her.

I gritted my teeth. I closed my eyes and tried to think about a solution over this.

Escape!!

My instinct told me that over and over. 

"Oya? It seems like you're more interesting than i thought."

I heard Filma's voice close to my ears. I opened my eyes and saw her crouching nearby and looked at me with interested looks. Her eyes were glowing.

"This aura color belongs to the dragon kin. Could it be you're a dragon slayer?"

She asked.

"...."

I felt that everything's over. She already won. I sighed and stopped my struggle. There's no use to fight back.

"Hou, it seems like you finally give in. Then stay still alright? I'll pack up the two and we're good to go."

She said.

I looked to my side. Natalia was lying on the ground unconscious. On the other side, i saw Anastasia who was trying to support herself with a wall. I sighed again as i tried to think what would happen to me after this.

But, how did she know about my dragonification?

Wait, dragonification?

I gasped when i got an insight to increase my survivability, I gritted my teeth. I pushed my body up from the ground. When i managed to sit i checked my status.

My status barely changed since the last time i checked it. If dragonification was the thing that interest her,  I'll make this into the thing that  will mess her up.

I picked up a vial from my back pocket. Without a second thought, i drank the red colored liquid inside it. The taste of strong iron from the blood flowed through my throat. 

Throb!!

Throb! Throb!!

My body convulsed. The pain on my body slowly disappeared along with the wounds.

Just from drinking one vial had increased my dragonification by 2. I could feel that my body was changing. Energy was filling every parts of my body.

"Heey, boya, it's time to go."

Filma called for me as she saw me stood up.

"Yeah, that's right. It's time.."

I muttered.

"For you to go to hell that is!!"

I kicked the ground. I decreased our distance in instant. Dragon's strength wasn't something to be made fun of after all. Just increasing the dragonification by two levels had increased my strength, speed, and endurance by tenfold.

"NYUO!!"

My fist connected but she could block it with her hand barely in time. Rosemaria's body fell down as the arm holding her was used to block my fist instead.

Level 6 is still not enough huh?

I took some distance from her. Filma put down my mother's body. 

"It seems like you got some nerves to attack me, boya. You should know that i'm far stronger than you right?"

She warned me. I paid no heed to her words. I prepared my stance but suddenly i was sent flying from invisible blow on the stomach. I rolled on the ground several times.

"Give it up, boya. You can't win against me."

She said. When i saw Filma wasn't moving even an inch from her previous spot made me understood the truth behind her invisible blow.

"Chantless spell huh?"

I muttered.

"Nyuo?!! How did you know my trump card?!!"

She was surprised.

"That was your trump card?!!"

I was dumbfounded instead.

"Yeah, that's right. But, that's-"

She said innocently. But, she suddenly disappeared.

"-a lie you know."

SHe reappeared beside me. I gasped and leaped away in reflex.

"Teleportation and chantless. What a terrifying combo."

I said.

"I like your reaction just now. Perhaps having you giving up easily is too boring after all."

SHe said.

I took another vial from my magic bag on my waist. I chugged down the content and readied my stance. The throbbing feeling was uncomfortable but the result was not bad.

"Level 8"

I kicked the ground. I sent my fist on her abdomen. I missed her after she disappeared. 

"That was close, what was that sudden increase of speed?!!"

She complained.

"Well, i wonder what it is."

I played it dumb. Filma twitched with annoyance from my answer. She suddenly disappeared. I smirked and tapped the ground with the tip of my shoe.

Earth spikes emerged from the ground and spread like porcupine.

"You still can dodge that? As expected from demon general."

I mocked. When i turned around, i saw Filma was holding her side. Purple blood was dripping from the gaps of her fingers.

"You also could use chantless?!!"

She was surprised.

"Of course not, dummy. Do you think chantless is easy to learn?"

I replied.

"THen, eat this!!"

I created three magic circles in instant. I put them in single line and fired an accelerated magic bullet.

BOOM!!

"That was close, don't you think, Filma?"

A man's voice came from the rising smoke. A figure of a man was standing in front of her while carrying my mother on his shoulder.

"Markha, Don't intervene!! I'm currently in process of taming this child!!"

Filma protested.

"You can do that anytime!! We must revive Ford-sama as soon as possible!!"

Markha said angrily.

"Mu, cheapskate!!"

Filma pouted. Markha sighed and his figure blurred in short period of time and suddenly he was also carrying Rosemaria in his hand. I widened my eyes seeing this.

"We're leaving, Filma."

He said. Filma clicked her tongue and turned her back toward me.

"LIKE I'LL LET YOU!!"

I created my magic circle again. I fired another round of magic bullet but the two of them disappeared before the bullet reached them.

"GODAAAAAAAAAAAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I cried out as loud as i can.
