Heaven, Earth, Me

After Andrea's words, the Village Chief was naturally extremely against it, so he started complaining, forgetting his previous fear. It was easy to forget that an enormous dragon was looking since Yasenia was so large that she was like a mountain at a human eye level. 

"Y-You can't take my only son!" The leader pointed at Andrea, his face getting more aggressive by the second. "While I understand that you might be angry, you can't leave our tribe to die! Without a descendent of my blood, we won't be able to survive!"

Fulo, his son, frowned faintly. He felt that if he continued angering the powerful people, the consequences could be much worse than him giving up his life. "Father! Stop this!"

The Village Chief glared at the young man and shouted. "You! Shut up, unruly child! Why did you even suggest it in the first place!?"

The Village Chief, forgetting for a second who he was dealing with, shouted at Andrea. "You are going to take me with you! And if you don't like that, then you will have no one!"

Andrea frowned slightly at his sudden outburst. The man was heaving, and the whites of his eyes were starting to gain red lines out of pure anger. 'He is becoming irrational… Tsk. Annoying.'

Seeing how aggressive he was getting toward Andrea, the dragoness wouldn't stay still. She raised one claw, the motion creating powerful gales that reminded people of her presence. Those who felt the gales looked over, and a strangled scream escaped everyone's mouth when they looked up and saw the cold face of the enormous dragon. 

Then, Yasenia stomped down. 

BOOOM!

Yasenia being able to talk came as a surprise that made some people piss their pants in fear. A giant beast was scary enough, but one that could talk and had intelligence was like a giant nightmare having taken form. 

With Yasenia's warning, the Village Chief seemed to recover his senses finally, and he realized that if he dared to continue offending them, that stomp might fall onto their village next. He fell to his knees again, banging his forehead against the hard ground. "Please! Please! Don't take my son! He is my only son! Please have mercy, oh great warriors! Have mercy on this old man!"

Yasenia snorted. "As if I care. If you didn't want to lose your child, you should've thought twice before attacking me." Her gaze moved toward Fulo, carrying with it a tremendous pressure. "Fulo, right?"

Fulo quickly kneeled. "Y-Yes, Lord Dragon!"

Yasenia nodded, satisfied with his attitude. "Great. You'll guide us. If you don't trick us and guide us straight away, we'll deliver you back safely to this place once we are done with our business. Do you understand my words?"

Fulo looked up at the vertigo-giving dragon, and he nodded quickly. His face had a clear trace of surprise and joy at those words since, in his opinion, this was a one-way journey. "I'll do my best, I promise, Lord Dragon. I promise on this Fulo's family name!"

The dragoness hummed, curious. 'Their speech is quite formal. Did someone teach them in the past? Or is it knowledge left behind by their ancestors…?' While interesting, it was not something that had any priority. Instead, Yasenia looked at the girls and said. "Mount on me again and carry the boy. We are leaving."

Leila, Andrea's maid, saw that Andrea was going to grab the boy, so she moved one second faster and threw the boy over her shoulder. Andrea blinked, and the dog maid smiled gently. "I'll carry him, Madam Andrea. Don't worry."

Andrea sighed with a smile. "Sure, sure. There is no need, though. You know that, right?"

Leila smiled proudly. "Helping our Madams is our duty and joy! Don't worry, Madam Andrea."

Andrea chuckled in response. "As long as you are having fun."

Everyone climbed up Yasenia's front leg and reached her back. The dragoness, not wanting to blow the village's houses with the wind generated by her wings, turned and walked the other way. 

Her steps echoed, creating large tremors with each of them. As she turned, her giant tail passed over the village, creating a shadow for a few moments until she was far away. The fact that the tail was large enough to probably raze their entire village to the ground with a single sweep made many feel like they'd dodged a disaster. An elderly woman patted her chest and muttered. "Thankfully, they were quite understanding, and we were forgiven. If not, that enormous creature might've stomped us until we became one with our surroundings!"

The Village Chief glared at the elderly woman. "Merciful!? They took my child! If I ever gain enough strength, I swear to hunt them for eternity!"

Yasenia's voice spread around them, surprising everyone. "I heard that." 

Looking in the distance, they saw the enormous dragon looking back at them. The people around felt the urge to lynch their Village Chief until his head was swollen like a pig's, but he was the strongest one in the village, so that was impossible. Instead, the village people kowtowed. "Please, mercy!"

Yasenia's smiling voice reached the Village Chief and the rest. "Fulo has promised to become my servant in exchange for me forgiving you. I'm in a good mood, so I'll accept that. I hope he can serve as good cannon fodder in the future~. Hahaha!"

With those words, she spread her wings and took flight, creating hurricane-level winds that swept the village and almost sent a few children flying. 

The words made the Village Chief feel like his heart was twisting, and a scream of anger boomed out of his throat. "AHHH! I'LL KILL YOU, EVIL CREATURE!"

Pale faces surrounded the man when he shouted that, but thankfully, they saw that the giant dragon in the distance kept flying away. 

Meanwhile, on the dragon's back, the girls' lips were twitching. 'She is in a bad mood, eh? We should've probably wrung her dry before entering this place…'

Meanwhile, Fulo was completely unaware of what Yasenia said to the villagers, looking around a bit curious as everyone looked at him with pity. Fulo asked, curious. "Um… Powerful Ladies, did I do something wrong?"

Andrea approached and patted his shoulder with a sigh. "Nothing, Young Man. Also, forgive Yasenia if she answers a bit grumpily. She is currently not in the best of moods."

Fulo blinked. "... Yasenia?"

Andrea grinned, pointing toward the head of the giant dragon. "Her name is Yasenia."

"O-Oh!" Fulo bowed sincerely. "I pay respect to the great dragon, Yasenia."

The dragoness answered with a neutral tone. "No need to. Instead, guide me. What direction should I take?"

Fulo looked at the surroundings quickly and commented. "From what I remember, you should tilt a bit to the right and fly straight for around two hundred Li."

"Li…" Yasenia thought a bit, and she remembered. "Ah. I remember. One kilometer is two Li… So, around 100 kilometers."

Yasenia flew forward, accelerating her pace to go a few kilometers per second. Her streaking form was fast enough that Fulo was seeing the surroundings blur. Yasenia spoke. "We are going to arrive in five seconds to that location. Where do I go next?"

"F-Five…?" Fulo asked, incredulous.

Yasenia asked again. "Fast! Where do I go now?"

Startled by the rushed tone, Fulo answered quickly. "S-Seven hundred Li to the west!"

As soon as he said that, The dragoness tilted left and changed directions. "[Pegasus Gallop]."

Her hanging limbs moved, and then she started galloping in the air, and her wings continued moving. Fulo's eyes could barely make out his surroundings at the speed they were moving. "We'll arrive in twenty seconds. Where to next?"

Fulo's face gained an incredulous expression. 'I-Is this the speed of a legendary Dragon? Incredible.'

Andrea patted his head. "Thought enough? We are arriving."

Fulo snapped out of his daze and then he began giving instructions. Yasenia accelerated further as Fulo continued saying different orders, guiding them through the expansive underground magma caves. 

Tatyana suddenly shouted. "Yasenia, ahead!"

The dragoness's pupils shrunk as a massive creature jumped from the river with a hurricane of fire energy around it. Its serpentine body and fiery lion mane adorned a reptilian and ferocious face. Fulo, who managed to spot the creature, shouted. "Lava Dragon!? Be careful, Lady Yasenia!"

The other side was a peak-level Legendary Core beast.

Yasenia squinted and sensed the enemy's strength. 'Similar to mine… I should be able to avoid it…' 

As she was thinking that, the Lava Dragon looked at Yasenia and roared powerfully, challenging her. 

ROAR!

The sonorous roar made Fulo tremble in fear. However, looking around, he instead saw the women around him looking at the Lava Dragon with apparent pity. Evelyn sighed. "Ah… He really challenged our girl, eh? Well, what a pity."

The dragoness's blood boiled at being challenged, and she instantly deployed [Cosmos Dragon Imperial Suppression]. "You dare challenge me, YOUR QUEEN!?" Yasenia's aura took a sharp turn, deepening while her maws opened to release her own dragon roar.

ROAAAAR!!!

Fulo felt, without exaggeration, as if the space itself around him was vibrating through his body. The deep and resounding roar was so potent that he, without a speck of doubt, saw the Lava Dragon's face gain a touch of surprise and fear. 

Then, he felt Yasenia accelerating and tackling the Lava Dragon in a frontal Clash.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

BOOM!

Both beings were flung down, smashing against the fiery trees below. However, the way they landed was incomparable. The Lava Dragon was literally smashed down, while Yasenia fell on her limbs. Then, to Fulo's further bewilderment, he saw the Lava Dragon quickly recovering, and instead of fighting Yasenia, turning around and running. 'I-It's escaping?

Yasenia roared angrily. "Where do you think you are going!? [Pegasus Gallop]! [Second Sky, URSA'S GRASP]!"

Both constellations shone around her simultaneously, one increasing her burst speed to ridiculous levels while the other enhanced her bodily strength to terribly high levels. 

Yasenia caught up with the Lava Dragon, grabbing its tail with both her front limbs and slowly raising her body with her hind legs. Then, she pulled with all her strength. "COME OVER HERE!"

Fulo followed the trajectory of the Lava Dragon as it arched above them and was slammed on the other side. 

BOOOM!

What occurred in front of Fulo's eyes after that was an absolute and terrifying beating until the Lava Dragon managed to enter one magma river and escape. 

Evelyn asked, curious. "You let it escape?"

"I don't feel like killing it." The dragoness answered with a softer tone. "I just wanted to teach it a lesson."

"Oh." Everyone answered with a deadpan.
