‘What is this now?????’

Eugene Schneider was confidently responding to Drake’s unwavering gaze,

when suddenly, Drake’s voice entered his mind, causing his eyes to widen.

In the past, he had often experienced telepathy games thanks to the magical genius Elizabeth.

So he was quite familiar with the sensation.

This voice, Drake is telepathically contacting him.

[Are you flustered, you half-breed of the Demon race? Well, in this era, such experiences are probably treated as legends.]

Drake’s telepathy continued.

[I wondered what was happening since someone opened the Eye of the Demon God, but meeting an interesting human like you through an unusual connection has unexpectedly made me look forward to it.]

And he rattled off conspiracy theories that Eugene Schneider couldn’t understand at all.

‘The Eye of the Demon God? Someone opened it? Is that why this guy is here??’

Eugene Schneider, overwhelmed by the storm of unknown words, rolled his eyes, feeling beyond bewildered.

[I ask you, are you a human chosen by the Sun God Anubis?]

Drake asked Schneider with a curious question.

“Sun God Anubis?”

Sun God Anubis,

Eugene had never heard of this god.

Basically, the gods of the Pedon continent were traditionally goddesses, and goddesses were not entities assigned to specific objects.

[Oh dear…you are quite the naive little fledgling.]

It was clear to Drake that Eugene had no idea what was going on.

Because of this, Drake showed a somewhat lamenting reaction.

“This giant lizard is disrespectfully calling me a fledgling!”

ㅡWhoosh!!

Eugene, already with a complicated mind, lost his composure and boldly extended his greatsword due to the disregarded attack.

[Then…]

Swoosh…!

“Hey you! Where are you looking!”

However, Eugene’s boldness was completely ignored.

Drake suddenly turned his head somewhere else.

[I will give you an upgrade.]

The direction Drake turned his gaze to was Priscilla.

‘Is this guy planning to attack Priscilla?’

Eugene also recognized this and quickly returned his expression to normal.

However,

ㅡWhoooooosh!!!

The target of Drake’s tail attack was not Priscilla, whom he had sent flying from the facility, but Eugene Schneider, who was next to him.

ㅡWham!!!

ㅡSwoosh!!

“Tch!”

It was truly an unexpected attack,

but Eugene barely managed to avoid it.

Thud!

However, he lost his balance and fell,

Tumble! Tumble! Tumble!

He desperately tumbled across the rough desert floor.

“Eugene!!!”

Priscilla, seeing this, screamed in surprise.

“Heh…! This guy is even using psychological warfare?”

ㅡWhish whish whish!

But since there was no damage, Eugene quickly got up and regained his stance.

[Draw out your power, human! Show me what a human chosen by Anubis looks like!]

ㅡThwaaaaack!

But that time was enough for Drake to narrow the distance considerably.

Drake approached close enough that their heads almost touched, not his tail.

ㅡPuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Drake opened his mouth wide and unleashed a lion’s roar at Eugene Schneider.

“Ugh!!!!!”

ㅡWhooooooooom!!!

The space rippled as if a change in impact force had occurred,

causing Eugene Schneider’s heavy body to float and fly away.

“Ugh!”

ㅡThump thump thump thump!!!

Eugene Schneider flew approximately 20 meters,

and crashed into the ground and rolled away.

ㅡFwoooooosh!!!

Drake jumped mercilessly at Eugene Schneider, who was rolling so pitifully on the ground.

‘Quest failed, I have to run away with Eugene!’

ㅡFwoooooosh!!

This meant that it was difficult for Eugene Schneider to take the initiative to escape.

It meant that the plan to extract information by continuously drawing aggro had gone awry,

and Priscilla also jumped forward to save Eugene.

Priscilla flew like a bird,

Fwooshㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

Her small body emitted an emerald flash and shone brightly.

Furthermore,

Swoooooosh…! Whoooooosh…! Ssooooooosh…!

The silhouette of Priscilla in the flash rapidly changed.

Whoosh!

Eugene Schneider, who had flown 20 meters and crashed, then rolled away again, barely regained his posture.

‘The form is terribly off, but the damage isn’t that great. As expected, Mina’s Baramion armor blocked the internal damage. I felt the incoming damage being blocked.’

Although he had been flung around like a fallen leaf, his eyes were alive.

This was because he had properly confirmed the quality of the Baramion armor.

A lion’s roar is an attack that may not be a direct hit, but it has a high possibility of causing internal injuries.

However, the Baramion armor, which strengthens durability through mana, blocked that internal damage.

Of course, it was also the result of Eugene’s hard work in training to draw out the capabilities of the Baramion armor, even though it was for a short time.

In any case, it was the attack he was most concerned about against monsters with many variables, but he breathed a sigh of relief because he was prepared.

“Whoa!”

However, Eugene, who regained his stance and turned his gaze back to Drake, cursed out loud when he recognized the giant body of the guy jumping towards him.

But at that moment,

ㅡKuaaaaaaaang!!!

A considerable roar echoed.

Fsssssssssssh…!!!

Then, a brilliant mana effect was displayed,

and that effect was being created on Drake’s tail.

Perhaps something had flown towards Drake, and Drake seemed to have quickly moved his tail to defend.

‘What’s going on? Thanks to that, Drake’s posture is messed up!’

ㅡSwoooooooooosh!!!

However, that figure was not clearly visible from Eugene Schneider’s point of view.

He only recognized that a roar had erupted, and that the tail of Drake, who was about to attack him in a slightly mana-affected state, was used for defensive purposes.

Quickly scanning the situation, Eugene moved quickly out of Drake’s landing point.

ㅡKuuuuuuuuuung!!

Drake landed,

“Krrrrrrrrr…!”

He turned his head in the opposite direction from where Eugene had evaded.

‘Huh???’

Eugene Schneider, who had widened the distance and broadened his view, also looked at the direction Drake was looking at and widened his eyes.

‘Priscilla?’

Because Priscilla was there.

‘Is that person Priscilla???’

To be more precise, it was an existence with a completely different appearance from the Priscilla he knew.

But that mysterious being was clearly holding the World Tree Bow that Priscilla used.

“I ended up revealing this form after all. I’m dying from a lack of spirit energy.”

That’s right.

Priscilla, who felt that Eugene Schneider was in danger, deactivated the body transformation state to minimize the loss of spirit energy and revealed her true form.

‘It was real. Priscilla had a height similar to Mina! Not that disobedient kid-like feeling, but a woman with the visual of a cold elf princess herself!’

Even though it was a desperate crisis situation where Drake was still holding on,

the figure of Priscilla, who revealed her true form, was so amazing that it could not be carelessly overlooked.

Really, there was nothing contrary to Priscilla’s boast of her elf princess feeling.

Rather, it felt like Priscilla’s boast was weak?

A super-express model figure who transformed from a 150cm kid,

boasting not only mystery and nobility but also a youthful appearance that was hard to guess the age.

[Hehehe…! So you were from the Elven royal family? I can create the result I want for my plan.]

Drake sent a telepathic message again.

“What, this guy, telepathy?”

However, this time it was not a telepathic message only to Eugene, but a multi-telepathic message to both Eugene and Priscilla.

Therefore, Priscilla, who was aiming the World Tree Bow at Drake, reacted with a startled expression.

“Priscilla, can you hear the telepathy too? That guy has been sending me telepathy since earlier.”

“No wonder, you were standing there like you had been hit by a narcotic poison arrow before that guy started attacking in earnest, so I wondered what was going on.”

Eugene didn’t have the detail to distinguish between single telepathy and multi-telepathy, so he immediately checked while watching Priscilla grumble.

“If it’s like this, at least this guy is more than what I said earlier. Now, unconditionally getting out of here is the answer, Eugene.”

ㅡFssssssssssh…!!!

“Let’s do that, Priscilla!”

ㅡWhoosh!!

There was a lot of information to share, but there was no time to do so at all, so Priscilla drew her World Tree Bow mana bowstring,

and Eugene prepared to take a wide backstep to retreat according to Priscilla’s words.

[Seeing you this close, you have a considerable bond. I can give you a very satisfying upgrade.]

Srrrrrrrrk…!!!

Drake turned his body straight ahead without thinking of avoiding the opponent’s attack.

“Shut your nonsense!”

ㅡPuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

Priscilla’s bowstring was fully charged with her emerald mana.

After that, the World Tree Arrow was fired, emitting a tremendous roar and firing like a laser.

‘Priscilla’s current attack is beyond what I know of an expert archer???’

ㅡFwoooooosh!!!

Eugene stepped back towards her in time with Priscilla’s World Tree Arrow firing.

It was a combined purpose to retreat together, with him being the meat shield and Priscilla providing cover.

The World Tree Arrow performance that Priscilla showed in the process was quite unusual even for Eugene to see.

[If you’re an elf archer at the Seeker level, you’d be confident enough]

And the reason why she can bring out that force is because her true form Priscilla is a Seeker Elf Archer, not an Expert.

[But]

ㅡWham!!!

Drake defended against Priscilla’s attack again with his tail.

[Can you withstand my debuff attack in that energy state?]

ㅡPshuuuuuuuuuu!!ㅡPshuaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Dark red mana fumes began to pour out fiercely from his scales.

“Damn it! Hold your breath and turn around and run! Drake cast a debuff magic!”

“I’m already ready! Priscilla, come here!”

Thud!

Priscilla’s expression crumpled at the debuff magic that was cast immediately without any prior signs.

Eugene, who had reached Priscilla’s side, grabbed her wrist.

[No way. There’s no way I’d let you run away.]

Fwooshㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

Drake’s eyes flashed as he continued to spew out debuff magic poison.

Then,

ㅡDududududududududu!!!

The ground where Eugene and Priscilla were located began to collapse.
