Shortly after, along with Sakuya's command, the other two began their attacks. However, compared to the extravagant and vibrant attacks earlier, the attacks now seemed particularly shabby. Gracier and Pandora used their bows their proudest abilities and went along with firing ordinary arrows. Meanwhile, Sakuya no longer cast her powerful skills and was simply assaulted with the holy light. Gracier also released tiny fireballs under Sakuya's lead, while the three maintained the defensive barrier to resist the reflected attacks.

Sakuya's strategy had an immediate effect. While some attacks were reflected from time to time, they were stopped entirely as their might was already weak, to begin with. Meanwhile, the attacks that the mysterious entity wasn't immune to were blasted at full force. Although those attacks weren't strong, Sakuya's mission wasn't to defeat it, after all, but to contain it in this place instead. From the earlier tests, she discovered that this Boss didn't seem to possess any abilities other than reflecting attacks, nor did it have any proactive offensive skills. In this case, it was still possible for Sakuya to contain it!

One had to admit that this strategy from Sakuya was indeed a bother for the Boss. It did seem like it didn't possess any proactive offensive skills. Facing the weak magical spells, arrows, and even daggers hurled out by Pandora from time to time, the mysterious entity was caught in a horrible spot. This also proved that Sakuya was right about it being unable to be immune to all attacks at the same time!

However, good times didn't last long.

Just when she thought that everything was about to get on track, a low, hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears all of a sudden.

"You… are unforgivable!"

"…!"

Along with this malicious bellow, something happened.

Boom———!

The solid ground beneath Sakuya's feet cracked and ruptured with gravel scattering in all directions. 

However, she escaped by stepping through space, space shrink she called it. 

Both Gracier and Pandora also put distance between themselves and the enraged monster. 

As the solid ground got destroyed, the scenery around them changed to what appeared to be a final boss room. Standing before them was an enormous beast, it was a fucking dragon.

Tranquil fiery eyes sit buried within the creature's bony, scaled skull, which gives the creature a fierce looking appearance.

Several small horns sit atop its head, just above its tiny, angular ears. Several large fan-like skin and bone structures runs down the sides of each of its jaw lines.

Its nose is large and has two thick, rounded nostrils and there are tendrils on its chin. Several sharp teeth poke out from the side of its mouth and reveal only a fraction of the terror hiding inside.

A broad neck runs down from its head and into a muscular body. The top is covered in smooth skin and rows of small spikes runs down its spine.

Its bottom is covered in coarse skin and is colored much darker than the rest of its body. Four slim limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand imposing and arrogantly. Each limb has 4 digits, each of which end in huge claws seemingly made of obsidian.

Slender wings grow starting from just below its shoulders and end at the lower end of its back. The wings are scythe-shaped, a specialized layer of seeminly color-changing skin makes up most of the wing and sharp, spiky scales cover the top of each visible bone.

Its flat tail ends in a curled tip and is covered in the same smooth skin as its body.

''Wow! The final boss is a dragon like in a game.'' Sakuya commented with a smile. Pandora nodded as if to say I do think the same thing, both stared at Gracier making the little devil heave a sigh. 

''I know!" 

Roarrrrr! 

Following Gracier's words the dragon transformed from the mysterious entity roared, destroying the small mountains in the surrounding. 

Gracier ignored it before her body was surrounded by a dark red golden light and she turned into the most basic dragon form, it was her current limit. It must not be forgotten that Ignia was the queen, the mother of all dragons, the goddess of fire so naturally Gracier inherited this title as well upon taking the mantle of successor.

Gracier's transformation lasted two minutes before her normal dragon's form got unveiled and one could say it was quite intimidating for a normal form, it is to the most basic form of her dragon's lineage.

Angry crimson eyes sit far within the creature's soft, horned skull, which gives the creature a vicious looking appearance.

Several tendrils sit atop its head, just above its tiny, warped ears. Several rows of small tendrils runs down the sides of each of its jaw lines.

Its nose is pointy and has two large, angular nostrils and there's a horn on its chin. Rows of sharp teeth poke out from the side of its mouth and reveal only a fraction of the terror hiding inside.

A broad neck runs down from its head and into a massive body. The top is covered in scale-like skin and rows of tendrils runs down its spine.

Its bottom is covered in red crystal-like skin and is colored slightly darker than the rest of its body. Two mighty limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand noble and poised. Each limb has 3 digits, each of which end in thick claws seemingly made of onyx.

Terrifying wings grow starting from its shoulders and end at the end of its shoulder blades. The wings are almost demonic, the inside is almost entirely see-through, especially when viewed from a distance and jagged edges at the bottom almost give it a feathered look.

Its barbed tail ends in a single tendril and is covered in the same scale-like skin as its body.

ROARRRRRRRRRR!

Gracier's roar was mightier making even space tremble. 

Sakuya and Pandora found a proper space to hide to observe this fight that should be interesting. Somehow Sakuya wore a black sunglasses and held in her arms a bag of popcorn, as if she were in the cinema. 

Bang! Bang! BOOM! BOOM! 

Many explosive sounds rang every time the dragons clashed and something was destroyed each time, it was a fight beyond anything the girls even saw. Claws tearing through space, mountain getting erased with a single dragon's breath.

Dragon's breath against dragon's breath resulted in the destruction the land. The mysterious entity turned into dragon could use the darkness element as well absorb some of Gracier's fire element and amplify them. Unfortunately, it did almost no damage to Gracier. The fight seemed to have reached a stalemate when suddenly another dragon made entirely of fire appeared and attacked the other dragon, momentary drawing its attention as Gracier disappeared turning back into her human's from. 

The dragon born from the mysterious entity created a wall in order to defend against the flame dragon before absorbing it to strengthen itself to finally get rid of this annoying enemy. 

Unaware of what the real Gracier was doing, the boss couldn't prevent what was about to happen. During their fight Gracier using her sharpened senses and instinct she was able to find the other's core, meaning its weakness. Only by getting rid of this weakness would she have any chance of winning. 

Gracier's body turned into the form of pure flame and she was able to pass through the enemy's wall. She passed through the wall and appeared behind the dragon. Shortly after, she extended her right arm, which held the transparent flame sword. Along with this action, a blade ray flickering in crimson spiritual radiance pierced the sphere of light inside the dragon's body, it was to say its core.

"No———!"

This time, her attack wasn't for naught. The mysterious entity turned into a dragon, whose core was struck, let out an indignant scream. It spread and extended its arms in despair after turning back its previous form. But it was meaningless. Flame burst from within the core as the mysterious entity trembled, while the hidden sphere of light dimmed rapidly and vanished.

Swish———!

Whistling airflows burst. As the sphere of light vanished entirely, the mysterious entity was completely obliterated in midair.

Gracier canceled the fake dragon made from pure flame and descended to the ground before trying to catch her breath. She was really exhausted, this fight took all she had, while the fight could have appeared simple for the onlookers as the one fighting Gracier knew it was not so easy. Everything should be done perfectly if not it wouldn't have given the final result. She won this fight not because she was stronger but simply because she used her wits to make it simpler. 

''Good work Gracier, it was a wonderful fight. Let's compete once we get back.'' Sakuya who approached her offered those conforming words much to Gracier's joy.

''Great fight indeed.'' Pandora caressed Gracier's head while offering her a bottle of Spirit Wine. 

''Thank you all. Let me rest for a while before we will leave.'' Gracier took the Spirit Wine and quickly opened it, sharing the content with the other two. 

Their little adventure seemed to have come to an end. Same thing for Maria's group on the outside, their goals have more or less been achieved. It was the time to go back, hopefully Alex was about to achieve his, the girls had the same thought.
