Baron didn't switch to directed telepathy so everyone could clearly hear his relieved voice as he decreased his altitude slowly descending towards the approaching griffin.

"Skweee! (Of curse I am unharmed!) Skwee?! (What did you do, Baron?!) Skwee! (Mommy and daddy will scold you so much!)"

Blueberry screeched out in complaint while looking down at the destruction and raised her head right back at the dragon several times larger than her.

"Skwee... (We should apologize and go ba...)"

Blueberry screeched out in a tired voice and...

*CHOMP*

"(Blueberry...?)"

...disappeared without a trace right out of the air!

She wasn't taken down by an attack or anything, she just vanished into the thin air to the accompaniment of the sound of enormous jaws clapping together.

"(...)"

"..."

For almost a full minute, it felt as if the entire world has stopped – the survivors from the city below and the massive red dragon above them froze in disbelief, staring at the spot where the blue griffin disappeared from...

Then...

"(...you are all dead...)"

Baron, barely able to hold back enough to keep the telepathy skill active declared before cutting off the connection – the next moment, not just his throat and jaws started shining with the brilliant red light – his entire body did.

"GH-UGH...!"

Mary gasped as instantly she felt the outrageous pressure forcing her down to the ground – and it wasn't even the attack itself – merely the dragon's wings empowered by whatever outrageous skill that he was using, were creating shockwave so strong that it was able to pin most people to the ground – it was obvious that the actual attack would be unimaginably destructive in comparison...

But then, just as the end seemed to be right around the corner...

*CHOMP*

Another sound of jaws clapping together resounded through the air – but this time nothing seemed to happen...

...until...

"GHROOOOUUUAAAAAGHHHH...!"

A ridiculous barrage of various spells - fireballs, ice spears, explosive boulders, electrical discharges, holy smites, and the darkness bullets assaulted the dragon from both sides aiming at the membrane of his wings and at their base – causing the monster to let out a shocked and utterly confused roar as the magic attacks that had no right to pierce through the high-level dragon scales – which should completely negate all mana-based damage – actually got through and turned Baron's wings into mincemeat, knocking the red beast straight out of the sky.

"Wh-what...?!"

Mary raised her head and stared in absolute shock at the falling dragon – it was the most ridiculous thing that happened.

[00:51:12]

The timer in the right corner of the girl's vision was counting down stubbornly as Baron crushed into the city below, far away from the Wrath's mansion.

Still – the monster was large enough for him to be seen even from Mary's position – because even though he was downed and wounded, the red dragon of ruin certainly wasn't going to keel over and die just like that...

...at least not in this playthrough...

"GHROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!"

********************************************************************

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Before the tip of his tail had the chance to touch the ground after the fall, Baron was already twisting his body unleashing a breath attack that annihilated everything above the height of a one-story building – in a flash, most of the buildings that survived the two initial attacks were gone or turned into rubble by the shockwave that followed the explosion.

The wrath's mansion wasn't an exception – only the bare walls of the ground floor were still somehow intact – but aside from that, everything was gone – including all the unlucky people who didn't manage to evacuate in time.

"...m-mend...!"

Mary mumbled in a trembling voice, shaking so horribly that she felt as if her body was going to break apart at a moment's notice.

"...ghhh...!"

She gritted her teeth as the pain of the healing spell working spread through her body singed by the blast of heat caused by the attack and the brown-haired heroine gout up first on all fours and then on her own two feet and stumbled towards the first human she saw.

"...mend..."

"AAARRGGGGHHHHH...!"

Mery called out pointing at the white-haired Corvus whose body arched while it was forcibly welded back together by pure mana.

"Wha... what the hell is going on...?"

The young avatar of wrath gasped standing up, shocked how normal he felt after the initial wave of pain – it must have been his first time experiencing the mend skill firsthand.

"That's what I want to know..."

Mary scoffed, biting her lips and walking from person to person using mend on every single one.

Meanwhile at an area where the former entertainment district was...

"The avatar of gluttony took the dragon's magic immunity! Do not stop attacking!"

The ashen undead knight roared a command and hundreds of people wearing the clothes and the pendants of the church of the system's faith continued barraging the red dragon with the myriad of spells.

"Aren't you feeling too comfortable, Lovie?"

Suddenly, a ball of orange light jumped out from behind the undead knight's back and asked while jumping around her head.

"...Lovie...?"

The ashen undead raised her brow and asked in confusion, staring at the dancing spirit.

"You are the remnant of the god of chaos, Love and you don't have your own official name – so I decided to call you Lovie! Pretty right?"

The orange light lost its intensity and the silhouette of a tiny humanoid creature with insect wings showed through the glow.

"Whatever. What did you mean by feeling too comfortable?"

The ashen undead knight shook her head and asked, glaring at the red dragon getting overwhelmed by the unceasing rain of spells.

"Those humans – they might be a lot of them, but they will not be able to defeat the remnant of War – especially in his current form. Oh, and you can call me Helly~!"

The fairy explained in a high-pitched voice and the orange light it gave out brightened up so much that its silhouette disappeared once again making it seem like the remnant of the abyss god, Hell, was only a ball of light and nothing else.

"I don't know what you are talking about – the dragon looks pretty much defeated if you ask..."

*SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING*

*CHOMP*

*RIIIIIP*

*CRUSH*

*RUMBLE*

As Lovie was responding Helly with a dismissive smirk, Baron launched forward straight into the group of the system's faith mages and ripped at least half of them with his enormous front claws before they could even react – then, immediately followed it by opening his jaws and scooping up, and ripping apart the ones who somehow managed to survive his claws – and finished the survivors with a tails swipe that caused an earthquake.

...all while the wounds the spells have caused him regenerated at an outrageous peace...

"...me... That son of a …!"

Lovie finished her sentence and then her face twisted in anger and with a flash of white light, a translucent blade made out of ice solidify in her hand out of thin air.
