All the people within the room gasped after hearing the girls'' confident reply. The three of them came to one conclusion and started to leave the room, making the other guests ponder their actions.


    When the three left the room, Viana shed a sigh of relief and took a sip of the lukewarm tea she received from Xiao Luan as a gesture of eptance. The mild and bitter taste that stung her tongue woke her consciousness, alerting Viana to keep her wary about everything else because all of this had just started.


    Xiao Luan, Xiao Rui, and the other Guests, such as Leon, stay in the room with a heavy atmosphere that gnaws at their hearts. However, only one person begins to act, attracting everyone''s attention, and he is Lin Fan.


    "I am sorry for interrupting this discussion. My name is Lin Fan from the Lin family. In case you didn''t know my name, Mrs. Viana, may I ask you for a couple of things? "


    Viana put away the cup in her hands and faced the ck-haired boy with an intriguing expression on her face. Of course, she recognized the boy, for she had seen his potential from the earlier start.


    Also, what intrigued her was the expression of the boy, who became much calmer or more mature, to be precise. She doesn''t know what kind of journey led him to be like that, but it is good to see a once arrogant and indifferent young man shed his shell and be more prominent.


    "Yes, of course, I recognized you, Lin family''s head. Then, what can I do for you?".


    "Does Soma say anything else besides sitting around?".


    "Nothing in particr, I am actually a bit surprised to see hisposed attitude despite being thrown into a confined ce. Also, …".


    ''I am a bit scared of him''. Viana let thosest phrases seep through her mind for acting rashly, trying to use a person with much more power beyond even her husband, an active Rank-S awakener.


    Every time she was going to visit the boy, she always paid close attention to her conduct and words as if not to insult him, because she knew it too well, those times she took a peek within a camera. The aura that leaked from the boy''s body was enough to pierce her mentality, shooking her core to numbness.


    Lin Fan caught thest pause from the woman but didn''t try to query further. He began to ask a few more questions regarding Soma''s safety, his activity, and information regarding what she was plotting currently.


    "This is myst question? Will Somae and join the raid to fight that Dragon?".


    "...For that, I am not sure…!?".


    Viana''s body suddenly stiffened as she felt her phone vibrate across her phone. She looked toward everyone in the room and prompted her to answer it first. Feeling apologetic, she took out her phone and began to see the dialer.


    ''Why are they?''. Her eyes knitted, not because of the grave situation, but because she pondered why the security who observed Soma''s activity called her.


    Reluctantly, she swiped the phone disy and put it near her ear. While the call connected, Viana received a sudden message that surprised her, making her body yelp and stand still.


    Everyone in the room felt tense as the situation seemed to worsen for a moment. Viana nodded off a couple of times, a distinctive sign of understanding. Not long after that, she closed the call and returned her gaze toward the other in the room.


    "I just received messages from Soma".


    All of the people beside her faltered upon hearing those words; Lin Fan, who stood calmly upon them, stepped forward and opened his mouth for others to hear.


    "What did he say?".


    "...Leon and Lin Fan hone your own power and your party. It''s time to show the world a Savior has already arrived to thend, and our first objective was to y the Dragon!".


    "..Pardon me?!".@@novelbin@@


    Leon, who stood stiffened from the side, jumped after hearing those messages; he gulped his saliva to parch his barren throat and looked upon his party members, who were aghast, feeling the pressure upon hearing the term Dragon ying.


    Lin Fan, who was also shocked to hear Soma''s confident feat, clenched his fists tight and opened his mouth to urge Viana to ry the message.


    "Is that all of it?".


    "For all of you in here, yes, as for the other message I must ry it toward the three girls''...!?".


    As soon as she said that, the house shook, and a thundering roar reverberated across the atmosphere, making everyone''s heart tremble in fear. When they nced at the source, they could see amotion happening in the yard in front of the house.


    The people got curious, so they came out to see what was happening and saw the three girls doing some practice with full equipment. Three main elements gathered in the surroundings, coloring the ce with the fierce magma of Red, a calm yet terrifying Blue, and the carefree that brought cmity Green.


    Hina, Xiao Lian, and Serafina were together activating their own Original Magic, summoning a spirit.


    Viana, who saw the chaotic scene, gulped her saliva to witness the spectacr scene. ''Kids now are…'' Her muttering was followed by an empty sigh. It took hours for the girls to calm their nerves, and Viana finally could ry the message from Soma.


    *****


    Several dayster, one could faintly see a mist escaping someone else''s mouth. On top of a building in one of the cities in China, one could clearly see the view below without obstruction toward the ce where it was most tense.


    Two figures in robes observed the battlefield, which was now in full alert after they knew that the Dragon was in a state of anger. Its colossal body had grown twice asrge as before, its absentminded eyes gleaming with more ferocity and intellect.


    Multiple times had passed since the day the Dragon attempted to flee, but it always failed. Now, after the Dragon grasped a bit about what kind of thing blocked its freedom, ity low for a few days, thinking about how to escape.


    After many trials, the Dragon''s rage had reached its limit, and now it wanted to bring out its full potent power in one shot to shatter the barrier.


    "It''s begun".


    "Yes!".


    The Dragon''s throat bloated into a balloon. For those who were sensitive toward Mana in the surroundings, their face turned pale, knowing that inside that bloated throat, the Dragon had is, it contained a raw power of unrefined Mana, which had much more powerpared to a refined Mana inside a person body or any living beings present.


    Raw Mana is basically mana that flows in nature itself. It was usually tamed but possessed a great danger if misused. The Mana that flows in the atmospherees from the''s core, or what some would call the ley-line, which sustains the''s life and its residents.


    It is different from refined Mana, which resides within living beings.


    The process of refining itself was the same as breathing. Raw Mana would get filtered through the lungs, and then it would spread to every vein in a person''s body before staying within their own heart, which acts as a core.


    Of course, as a being feared in ancient times and standing at the apex of living beings, Dragon could superficially control raw Mana in its surroundings based on its knowledge and skill, which it had honed for years.


    However, there is an exception for some Dragons who can grasp it instinctively and manage to draw out a bit of its potential to show just how fearsome their race is.


    With a throat that was full of raw Mana, the Dragon infused a bit of its own Mana within him; it lit a spark and simultaneously opened its maw, followed by a pir of me pushed through the sky in one go, destroying the barrier that held it captives for days.


    The two robed individuals smile, satisfied after seeing the pitiful Dragon being locked down despite its recent birth.


    Anna, who stood in front, took something from her storage. In her hand, she held a ck jewel that swallowed even the light. She threw the things behind her and opened her mouth to Superbia.


    "When you have a chance, do it as instructed. I will leave for a bit, take care of this ce".


    "Understood!".


    "Rooaaarrrrr!".


    An earth-shattering roar shook not even the air but thend beneath, picturing how fearsome the creature called Dragon is. The Dragon, who finished its mission, pped its majestic wings and ascended toward the heavens in one go.


    When it reached a high altitude, its sharp, predatory gaze swept away the field, and it saw many people preparing their equipment with hostile intent. Recalling how boring and wrathful it was because of being detained, the Dragon roared once more and began to descend in one fell swoop, destroying one of the bases of world-renowned awakeners in ce.


    In just a matter of seconds, blood sttered across the road, and screams of helplessness echoed within the field, withering the fighting spirit they had prepared for days ahead.


    However, as Awakeners who vowed to protect humanity and the from its destroyer, they all pped their own faces and threw away the primal fear that froze their hearts.


    "All of you attack!".


    With a signal that unknowingly resonated within the battlefield, the raid began, and it will be marked as the first legend of the savior.
