Chapter 277: Can’t spell Dragon without Grand

Hmm

Sofia contemplated her options, she quickly decided that since what she wanted first and foremost was protection for the bolts, she wouldnt settle on a low grade resistance, no matter the bonus.

Then the question was, S grade resistance with a random bonus and enchantments, or SS+ resistance with nothing on it.

What are the chances that Ill outpace the resistance of the S grade? Its still a Dragons scale. Even the lowest grade would probably last me until level 400, wouldnt it?

But then again, when am I getting another chance to get an item made from Dragon parts by a Dragon? I would rather never outgrow it.

Seeing Sofia take forever to decide, Erredis looked up from her book, Having troubles? Maybe I can help?

I was thinking I might just get the blue one since its the sturdiest, but Im having second thoughts. The red one can be enchanted and the unknown effect could be good without compromising too much durability

Im surprised that you even consider taking Thrayks, Sofia. Thats some really long term investment. Any of the other ones would be more useful for your next hundred and fifty to two hundred levels.

The Angel bolts are pretty crazy so maybe Im being a bit too careful, but I would hate to have the item you made for me become useless too soon, so its really hard to choose, Sofia sighed, leaning back in her chair and looking at the ceiling. Im really bad with choices, between the keywords and everything. Choosing between things that can cripple my growth if I pick wrongly, all the time, its tiring

Erredis patiently listened to Sofias rant, she thought for a second before giving advice, in her own style. Overwhelmed by choice, eh? Well, to anyone else I would say theres no need to sweat it so much. But in your case Asking for help is my advice. Just look where you are, I let you in my home, and youre choosing between Dragon parts. Who could give you good advice I wonder?

I thought

Tchh- let me finish. I let you choose by yourself because you look like you value making your own choices in life. Even with your skill, you know that when you asked me, you already knew deep down what you were going to take. Be honest. Wanting to take control of your own fate like this, I respect it. But you also need to learn to depend on others a bit, not always, but when the situation calls for it, then without a doubt.

Not wrong

Th- Then please, help me choose, grandma Erredis.

Now were talking business! Alright: pick the blue one.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Really?! I was sure you would tell me to pick the other one Considering the comments you made before

Well, honestly, its better for me if you pick anything else, because Thrayks scales are a giant pain to work with. Just like he was a giant pain to get rid of, but thats beyond the point.

Then why?

Hmm, really down there then. Honestly I have no idea whose kid that could even be, no Dragons around these parts, none that I know of at least. But admittedly I havent been paying that much attention the last few thousand years Well, lets get flyin!

Do we have to worry about the leviathan? I heard it attacks anything that flies over it.

Nah, the big thing is annoying but all things considered, its territory isnt too big, we can just approach the planet from another angle.

I think Im going to have a hard time following you.

Following? Youre not following, little one, youll hop on my back, just dont get in between two scales if you dont wanna get crushed. You have this thing which cancels acceleration forces, right? Be sure to have that up the whole time.

O- On your back?!

I- I can only keep that up for a minute

Thats plenty! Now just stand right here.

Erredis took a few steps outside of the castle, lowered her stance a bit and jumped up and forward. She was taking distance quite fast, when her body suddenly collapsed in on itself, in a fraction of a second all that was left was a small flying ball of black energy. In a bright flash of light, the ball expanded, revealing Erredis true form. Her draconic body spread out like a prisoner forcefully breaking out of its chains.

Sofias mind blanked so much at the sight she even forgot to curse. Her legs went a bit weak.

In the sky the gargantuan form of Erredis flew up, her black scales reflected the light of the moon as she ascended, propelled by six giant wings. The three jaws of her singular head, crowned by six large and sinuous horns pierced the night, opening the way for her sleek and long body, followed by a long and majestic slithering tail.

Turning in the sky, Erredis flew back down as fast as she had flown up. She landed about a hundred meters away from the castle, her massive form supported by four stout legs, she created giant clouds of moon dust as she touched ground.

There was no need to even mention Sofias mana senses, merely standing even at that distance from the Dragon, she could feel thick tides of mana washing over her, pushing her and blowing her hair back like violent gusts of wind.

Stop gawking and get on, kid! Erredis voice resounded in Sofias head. It was the happiest she had ever sounded.

Sofia still had a hard time accepting the reality of the beast in front of her, but she obeyed the command nonetheless, deploying her own wings. She could fly by riding on Erredis overwhelming mana easier than she ever could in any normal environment. Without giving it too much thought, she flew up to Erredis neck. She quickly settled on the middle ridge of a scale taller than herself, grabbing onto one of a few small protruding spikes with both hands.

Arent you forgetting something?

The bewildered saintess was just now regaining her ability to formulate coherent thoughts which werent all a stream of expletives. [Runeforged Overlord], third tier. Her arms, chest and wings lit up with a thousand runes. She could see Erredis muscles tighten.

The moon suddenly teleported far away.
