"Okay, all set?" Camila asked off to the side.
Theos nodded, with the Shard of Death in his hand.
Luna nodded as well, with a pair of daggers in her hands, along with the shadow armor on her chest.
Even Camilla herself looked at them seriously with her sword in her hand.
'It's going to be a tough fight,' she thought, turning to look at the great Tree.
But her indifferent eyes did not show the slightest hint of concern. She was also determined on one thing... 'Get an item for myself,' she mentally told herself.
After several minutes where Theos, Luna, and Camila discussed the strategy they were going to execute to go to Grodria and get out of there alive, the three of them together explained their greatest abilities.
Camila, obviously, her abilities as a Dragon, although she didn't reveal her Path. However, she also said something very interesting: Her sword can cut anything only if she wraps it a bit in Mana.
Luna, on the other hand, revealed everything she had, Path, what her Path does, and her strengths, and even revealed to her the capabilities of her new Armor.
Despite Camila's indifferent expression, her eyes sparkled as she heard all that Luna's armor could do.
At that moment, she also decided to get her item!
Finally, Theos also talked about his abilities, though not as much as Luna, but not as little information as Camila. He talked about his Path and its capabilities, as well as his other Path that could make you forget anything.
Both Camila and Theos did not want to reveal much information about each other. However, unlike what Camila thought, he knew everything about her.
'Her Race is much-acclaimed as the Imperial Dragons and also called Royal Dragons, their abilities are literally to control other dragons...', Theos recalled.
'In the novel, these Dragons were overpowered as the strongest Dragons. But there was one exception, the Dragons of Death, also called the Dark Dragons.
They could not control dragons, but brought the dead dragons, their souls, to fight for them or together with them.
That is why the Royal Dragons are just as powerful as the Dragons of Death.
And as if that were not enough, Death Dragons have a greater 1vs1 combat capability without controlling anyone. That means that in every battle a Death Dragon can easily defeat an Imperial Dragon.
That's why they have to be so careful!
"As we planned, let's run to the tree," said Theos.
Camila and Luna nodded, expelling Mana to wrap it around and cover their bodies. They grew physically stronger.
Theos did the same, but drawing some of his Path, 10% of his Path: Celestial Corrupted, to further enhance his physical capabilities.
With everything ready, they went to the tree, running at a high speed, as if they were a blur.
Again, thanks to Theos' negative energy and armor, Luna was able to keep up with them.
Thus several minutes passed before they reached the Godria tree.
...
Theos did the same with his little rapiers.
It took several minutes until they were in the branches of the tree. They did not rest for a second, but quickly Theos and Luna released their Paths to form wings.
And Camila released more of her dragon blood to pull out her wings.
The two flew again, this time, at high speed upwards, without stopping.
'The potion should be at the top,' Luna thought as she remembered Camila's words.
Camila had said that the potion could be in the vicinity, but the probability is very low, being a waste of time to look there. So they decided to play it safe, to the top of Godria, where the potion was more than likely to be.
They could not make much noise so that the dragons would not detect them, but...
"Who are you?"
Theos, Camilla, and Luna stopped dead in their tracks as they heard a chilling voice... It didn't seem to have gender, just endless menace and murderous intent.
Turning, they saw in the distance a dragon of pure white light, so bright they had to squint to see it.
"A Holy Dragon... And a very powerful one," sighed Camilla, her expression becoming rigid.
Dragons by themselves are divine beings, but... A holy dragon, even the weakest holy dragon is at an Expert level, but in front of them was a very special and powerful dragon that was possibly of Supreme or Semi-God rank.
Luna visibly swallowed saliva, while Theos stared at the dragon.
From its menacing voice and eyes, he didn't have to use his brain much to realize that the Dragon didn't come with the best intentions...
Theos sighed, releasing his entire Way as a Corrupted Celestial... His entire body was covered in beautiful, intimidating black armor.
"We are tourists," Theos stated with a smile.
The dragon responded with a shuddering roar.
"He said it's all bullshit... He's really upset, now he's speaking dragon language," Camila warned.
But Theos shrugged, what could he do, kill the Dragon? No, he couldn't even hurt it currently.
[The host has angered a Supreme Rank Sacred Dragon... The host gets 3000 negative energy].
Hearing the notification from the system, Theos smiled. 'Well, a little bit more strength before the battle,' he thought.
"You guys keep moving up, I'll take this one," Theos declared, placing himself in front.
The dragon was about to roar again, possibly to warn his comrades of the same race. However, Theos didn't give him the opportunity...
"Underworld!"
The next moment, the two were locked together inside a cube filled with darkness and Death Mana.
