Marlene? The Heroine who’d summoned Fiorfata together with Brian? What was she thinking, showing up now of all times?
At the moment, however, I found myself not quite caring about that.
“…get off.” I growled.
Being trampled under her feet was the still-warm body of the wind dragon that had been fighting together with me, before it was killed by the Heroine.
“Haah?! The hell are you talking about?!” She screeched, slamming her heels downward.
The next instant, the dragons circling in the air let loose a spine-chilling killing intent. Another wind dragon dove down to unleash its rage on Marlene. It suddenly exploded during its descent, blasting off and crashing on the ground outside the city.
What happened?!
During my moment of surprise, Marlene turned the staff she was holding in a strange stance toward me. The ground below me abruptly erupted, flinging me away dozens of meters.
“Tsk, small targets are such a trouble to hit,” Marlene spat out. She swiftly jammed something into the end of her staff and once more pointed it at me.
That wasn’t a staff. It was… a musket gun? I’d thought it to be a staff since it looked different from modern firearms, plus it was made from wood, but on a closer look I could see the resemblance to a rifle.
I didn’t feel much magic coming from the musket itself. However, the understand: I couldn’t let her insanity be the cause of any more suffering.
“Die, Dark Bitch!!”
Her magic gun spat out fire. I had promptly dodged, but the shockwave still blew me several meters away.
This was difficult to dodge. The blast range was way too big. I landed, rolling on the ground, and I threw a large cloud of cold air at Marlene.
“You can’t hurt me!”
My magic once more bounced off with crackling electricity, removing another of her talisman. Her gun fired off another shot.
“Oof!”
“Stop running, rabbit!”
