'Yet they are still alive while our enemies are dead and buried. Fight them as if they are Divine Beast or you'll go back to the Golden Griffon and I'll have to fight them alone. If we fail, it's with you that the True Queen will be angry.'
The Seven Headed Dragon swallowed a lump of saliva and telepathically nodded. There was a lot riding on the conquest of Ne'sra and he didn't want to be the one ruining Thrud's plans.
'You shouldn't have disengaged Phloria with that Blink.' Quylla said while adjusting their strategy inside the Blue Mermaid before starting the chase. 'We have less than two minutes to capture her.
'After that, even if we keep her from using Omnislash, the Give and Take ability of Reaver will be enough to overpower us. We have waited until now exactly to exploit her weakened state and not give her the time to cast spells.
'Yet the more time we lose, the more our advantage will decrease.'
'Are you kidding me?' Friya replied with a scoff. 'She has now a deep violet core whereas I'm stuck at bright blue. She was faster and stronger than me even back when we were both non-Awakened.
'Now with her superior physique and core, I needed to give my all to not get destroyed. To make matters worse, she has perfect body casting and I'm stuck at tier three.
'If not for the ambush and having my spells at the ready, I would be already dead. We can switch opponents if you want. You have a violet core superior to Phloria's and that Dragon looked a much easier opponent.'
'Deal.' Quylla nodded and they resumed the chase in the space of the two breaths they had needed to return to their peak strength.
Dimensional Ruler could conjure all kinds of dimensional spells without further casting so Friya only needed to search for the residual traces of Phloria's Blink with Life Vision to Warp straight to her.
'What the fuck?' Ufyl's seven pairs of eyes went wide when the dimensional door from which they had just walked out opened again, letting the Ernas sisters reunite again.
'My sister is the master of space, that's what!' Phloria slapped one of his heads to snap him out of it. 'The seven streaks in her hair are not for show. I have no idea what Silverwing is good at, but imagine Friya as talented for dimensional magic as Menadion was at Forgemastery.
'If you don't relax the space after every dimensional spell you use, Friya can reopen it at will, you moron. I told you everything you need to beat her, but you continue to not see past her human body.
'First Faluel kicked your ass and then Lith. Unless you are planning to add Friya to your losing streak, take your heads out of your ass and fight with everything you have. No holds barred.'
Losing to Lith didn't mean much to Ufyl. The little monster had defeated Iata, the strongest among the Generals, and then had wiped the floor with many other of his brothers in arms.
Even the True Queen held the Tiamat in high regard and considered him a worthy opponent so there was no dishonor in their disastrous previous encounter.
Being defeated by a Hydra despite having ascended into a Divine Beast, instead, was Ufyl's greatest humiliation. He could do everything that Faluel could and so much more, yet she had killed him and almost ruined the plan to conquer Belius.
