Nordor Style: Silver Dragons Skyfall!

Remembering exactly how that move had taken out that colossal rachonoid queen back when we first met in Cedaraille, I ran the hell away from the epicenter of Yorshkas attack. For some reason, Neill was screaming Ahhhhhhhhhh! as she sprinted towards one of the B ranks with a glowing fist surrounded by her black flames instead of retreating.

[Neill, get away!] I tried to warn her, but she didnt listen!

[You run away, then! Take a breather, sis!]

Was it [Battle Frenzy (Moderate)]? Most likely, since even with my control over [Battle Frenzy (Minor)], I still felt compelled to fight. The higher the intensity of the effect, the more you had to keep it in check. I could only imagine how much it was influencing Neill, to the point she willingly went into a dragoons crashing site.

Regardless, it was a bit too late as both Neills and Yorshkas attack landed at the same time. The silver dragons head illusion created from Yorshkas mana crashed into the ground, causing it to explode, blowing everything around it away. With the earth shattering before my eyes, I saw Tasianna fly over to me with her giant ice sword, blocking the shockwave from hitting me.

With her standing by my side, she gave me a short bow and smile, looking like she wanted to say I am back. Considering I probably scared her since [The Light] could inform my retainers of my health status, meaning she probably knew I was outside of Peolynca for two days, I was glad she looked alright.

It was then that I noticed her overall appearance; sure, her hair and clothes looked immaculate, as if she had the time to groom it all, however, what caught my eyes were the fact her right ear was cut in half, she was missing three fingers, and how her two braids was reduced to one.

[Too many B ranks, sea serpents and merfiends, my lady. Dont forget, I am a fae, they will regrow back over time,] Tasianna explained. [I was careless. High stats matter a bit more than pure skill when it comes to war, apparently. Ehehe.]

With every body part a fairy lost, the lower her maximum mana capacity would fall. Tasianna probably didnt lose too much mana, but seeing my friend like this did ache my heart. I had sent her to find and rescue the levianewts, but it also meant sending her to support Artoriass war effort as she had to accompany the ships there.

However, instead of complaining, the first thing she did was to come right back to my side. I knew it was cause of how seriously she took her maid duties, but still, it did warm my chest and also made me aware how hardened she seemed. Stronger, not only through stats alone, but also emotionally.

A normal party bracelet was only able to handle five members for a party; thankfully, however, the ones my party had could handle up to 20. Pretty useful to share experience with everybody. However, what made it even more impressive was the fact I could see everybodys growth.

Yorshkas level was 132 before she went to the battle at Port Annencia, while Farron had been stuck at 113 for over a decade or so due to his crippling lung damage. Now, both were reaching new heights. Even Tasianna, whose level was lagging behind everybody since she couldnt kill anything, was close to 100 now.

War might be terrible and unnecessary but it sure was a good source of levels.

[For you, my lady, nothing can stop me. These temporary scars are proof I am more than a sheltered woman.] As the dust began to settle, Tasianna kneeled in front of me. [My lady only deserves to smile without any worries when she sips her morning tea. I shall make it so.]

Your bond with your retainer [Fairy, Tasianna Marina Silverpond] has reached a new height. Loyalty, friendship, and trust had sealed your bond with each other. With the strength to serve and protect you, your retainer deserves appropriate rewards

The title [Hestias Retainer] has evolved into [Hestias Imperial Guard]. The title has been adapted according to the memories the both of you have shared

...?

...!

Friendship really is as important as anime and games make it out to be.

Dammit! Yorshka! However, before either of us could address it, Neills loud voice interrupted it all.

Whew! Sorry, Princess Neill, but we should speak later. Farron, honey, now! And another dragoon dive bombed the ground below, kicking up another dust cloud, only this time, this knight did not stay on the ground. Farron, with his rejuvenated body, diving and jumping without any rest. Take a break, both of you, well take over. Tasianna!

Yes! Tasianna levitated her giant ice sword. My lady, please, allow me.

Just like the cold wind, she breezed away, accompanied by Neills incessant complaints. Shay and Beth, from above, shot their ice breath at some of the fleeing B ranks, imprisoning them in an arena. None of them would escape us.

The situation was pretty much done from down here, to the point I felt my body weaken as the adrenaline wore off. I fell onto my butt and stared up in the sky, enjoying the fact no rain or snow was falling on me. The sky was so dark, but it couldnt feel brighter than now.

Alister and his knights were swarming in the sky, cheering as they returned to the wall. It wasnt just cause the situation with the artillery was covered, but also the fact Elyondas cavalry wasnt just Tasianna and co. There, in the skies, it welcomed the arrival of the griffon and hippogryph knights of Artorias.

Lady Hestia! One of the knights came flying over to us. I might not have been able to recognize the armored figure by sight, but I did recognize that voice. My daughter! Amelia! Please, tell me shes safe!

Poor Duke Greenveil. Amelia is in another castle.

I closed my eyes and gave him a thumbs up.

The Floating Capital of the Vampires, Purchigchia. It is also goes by the name Blood Fortress, Drascul. Tasianna pointed at the skies, the both of us riding on Beth on the way back into the city. Rajah and Neill were on too, although my sister was pouting, while the rest were cleaning things up with Shay. They suddenly arrived at Port Annencia a day ago, helping us banish the remaining enemies there. Well, this was after the grimgarian fleet suddenly began retreating. For some reason, they had broken the siege before anything was decided. Ill be honest, my lady, I had not expected to come here today.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

This is really too much information.

Tasianna had left out most of the details concerning the actual fight at Port Annencia, only mentioning that Yorshka and Farron, or any of the knights who arrived with them, could explain it better, since when Tasianna arrived there with the levianewts, the battle seemed to have already reached its peak.

Yorshka had been fighting on the very frontline with silvery lances conjuring around her in a small area, all while the warships kept trying to shoot her down. There were even larger grimgarian forces over there, with every ship having a mana barrier and a B rank shaman to protect them. Since the Lecartiglio Duchy placed more focus on martial skills, they didnt have any mages with actual large AoE attacks like me.

Duchess Morgiana was supposed to arrive to help turn the tide, but the situation was already getting dicey with Yorshka and Duke Lecartiglio becoming exhausted. As a consequence, Tasianna was roped into the mix immediately, to the point she had to act in the same role I did. By working together with Shay and Beth, seeing as they were B ranks, Tasianna managed to pretty much turn the whole port into a winter wonderland.

... The Duke gave me a lot of Major Mana potions seeing as I was the only magical strategic combatant they had. Yorshka, Farron, and the Duke could duel any of the B rank commanders, but without magic, we couldnt pierce the ships. He even gave me a bunch of accessories with mana storing catalyst as an investment, to the point they became my reward for helping out.

Tasianna twiddled with her fingers, looking a bit embarrassed as she pointed at a necklace, two spell rings, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings. None of them seemed enchanted, but seeing as all of them had catalysts, Tasianna could easily store her mana in them for emergency usages in the future. Not to mention, they were hers now, meaning we could have the mage guild enchant them for us later on, strengthening them even further.

Haha, wow, that takes most of the jobs off the table. I bet the two twins would like to be around their Mistress, after all. We can leave breaking the shell of that beast to them and the Empress, Yorshka stated with a crackle. However let's be honest here. Whoever planned this wont just leave us alone and let us walk all over it.

Ghorush. Skull Mask. The demonkins. Larents eyes flared up with rage. The rest of us are muscles.

Ha ha ha ha! How fitting that we old-timers are responsible for keeping the young safe. Master laughed with an excited grin.

Oi, you are the oldest, saurian priest. Dont call a lady like me as old as you. I am quite young for a dragonewt! Relatively speaking. Yorshka let out a sigh. Well, I wont complain. Its an honor to fight with you, Sir Auegors Blade.

[Princess Hestia, leave your protection and the Empresss in our hands. Soaring in the skies, we will be there when you need us,] Shay announced while Beth roared.

Jeez, everybody

... Let me just say I am just middle-aged. Farron mumbled but I didnt believe anybody heard him with everybody cheering on.

This really felt like a full-on raid team. Were about to raid a boss monster. Damn.

Everybody! Please, I beg all of you to come back home, safely! May the Goddess bless your path with light!

Make your preparations then! Tehmrayn raised his trident with Markvals announcement. We depart for that leviathans head!

Eleven raiders and one ship captain were about to depart. KrimSlak, Grazlahta, and Akast had to stay behind as the threat of the remaining B ranks was an issue, not to mention, the merfiends in the waters. Without Tehmrayn, everybody would evacuate back to the city, leaving the port probably doomed by the incoming tsunamis.

As such, they needed more than a few adventurers and Chahayat to defend everybody. Those three saurians were the perfect fit. Not everybody could participate in this fight, after all.

Under the cheers of everybody, we hopped onto the ship. The shaking wouldnt stop, and I could see the fear in the Caedhulens faces. It was only until Adhi manned the steering wheel that the mood changed for the better.

Caedhulens, I understand this trip of ours seems daunting, but what are we but sea-scales who have braved through the ire of the gods of the ocean? Every time we depart on a voyage, we risk our very lives. How many prestigious vessels have sunken through their arrogance? Not respecting the waves just because theyve survived through countless trips? Nay, I say, for we need no drunken sailors and stones-for-head on these wooden floors. Our fear is our anchor to life! We respect the depths! We understand confidence will drown us! We understand the gods do not seek jesters, but brave sea-scales who ignore their fears to finish the journey! Now, let us transport these landlubbers to their destinations. On my name, Adhi Bayudra, I say: HOIST THE SAILS!

AYE, AYE!

Aye, aye, captain! Karhalantheel, you are dead!

Prayer!

On this stormy day, a bright light appeared from the sky, blanketing a brave ship in a veil of warmth. In this darkness, a shimmer illuminated everything, heralding the departure of warriors. Just like in the age of the gods and heroes, this overgrown noodle will regret ever coming out of its egg!

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
