The world was suddenly filled with a vibrant illumination of purple light—the beam of the dragoness and the blade of the orc clashed like a titan against a mortal.
"How beautiful." The Enforcers whispered as the dancing arcs of light destroyed the surrounding monsters rapidly as if devouring them whole.
Stunned, they couldn't help but let out their genuine praise for Zeon, the future dragon empress, filled with amazement as her flare crackled with vibrant lightning-like fireworks in the night sky.
The pale blue light from her lips was clear like water, then once touching, his shadow became fierce and purple like violets. It violently flickered and lashed out, wrapping around the man's body, her golden eyes watching him without losing focus.
"Oh! Our empress has cleared the field once again!" The enforcers can now breathe easily as more than 90% of the monsters were wiped out before the beam began to flicker and fade the ground and atmosphere like a sauna with steam sizzling and a slight smoke filling the air while the ground was charred and filled with nothing...
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm The corpses had vanished.
Zeon was the only one to notice his actions—as her beam faded, her huge wings unfurled, batting the air like a bird of prey reaching top speed; her body shot towards the orc, who was wavering before he fell forward.
Swoosh.
Her body managed to reach him in time, the boiling temperature of his body causing her fair skin to tingle yet causing her heart to feel a sense of strange expectation.
"He... This man is still breathing!?" She was shocked, as a miracle of god had just happened before her...
A cracking sound was heard, like a face mask left on too long his skin began to crumble, revealing a soft, smooth almond skin beneath. At first, she thought he would crumble into ashes with a heavy heart as it fell from his cremated body.
But she was mistaken... He was better than ever once it all fell to the ground.
"His body... how is it even more pristine after taking my Zera Flare!?"
Zeon's hands began to make sure it was no fluke, the black axe with a slightly warped blade, his feet deeply embedded into the ground.
Undoubtedly, this man took her entire flare with just this axe and his shadowy aura!
Feeling the need to know more about the male, she tapped her right ear, a blue gemstone glowing with each press, before a soft voice sounded. "Hello, Zeon? It's rare for you to call Nene. What do you need?"
"Aunt, I have to leave the scene—please instruct Agatha to take over."
After hearing her words, the call was quiet momentarily, "mmmm, it must be hard being a dragon on her period. OK! I will inform Agatha, is the threat dealt with?"
She was happy that her aunt was easygoing as long as the task was finished. Zeon placed her hand under the chin of the loot she gained from this fight with a smile.
"Over 90% of the monsters were cleared, and B-Team is crushing the stragglers. Although casualties were over 300 before we arrived... I hate to say, I'm glad it was the slums, but if this were a central dungeon, the damage would have been catastrophic."
Nenethrana's voice seemed humming before she asked a more serious question, "Did he enter the portal... To find them?"
"Yes, he seemed to have close the portal at the very least. Contact with the lost SS-Rank Enforcers was unconfirmed, but their aura and energy signals were confirmed momentarily before the portal closed.
"Oh... I am really glad. It seems we've finally made progress all those years, little Zeon?"
Zeon's eyebrows twitched, she was older than Nenethrana, but the woman insisted on calling her little because she was yet to become an adult dragon. "Mmmmm, I'll be going now, Aunt."
"Take care; I can send Emily if you like—I'll ask for her sap as its good for helping with ailments?"
"No... It's OK, Aunt! I'll visit for dinner soon—my cute cousin has found herself a man, right?" Zeon smiled as she began to flap her wings slowly, building momentum as the aura around her body flickered with a luminescent blue.
"I hope to see him and make sure he isn't a bad guy."
"Fufu~ don't fall for him. He's too much for a little puppy like you to take."
"!!!"
The call ended, the annoying beeping of her phone irritating Zeon before she looked at the prize she stole before her body shot into the sky with her powerful wings propelling them through the sky as fast as sound.
She called Nene's aunt because of her help during the early days when dragons were seen as fearsome and targets to be hunted down... Most dragons were lost in the savage era before the races came together as allies.
"Hey... did Captain Zeon carry a man in her arms just now?" One of the S-Team Enforcers asked while his blade sliced apart a demon's chest.
"Mmmm? Maybe it's her habit of taking someone shiny or what she sees as valuable and hiding it in her cave?" A female smiled, her hands filled with flames as they melted the monster corpses to avoid disease.
Another male came close, dropping a few bodies on the ground—they were from the slum and would be given a proper burial later. "Do you think that woman would take a man to her cave? She hates them~ haha."
As they finished their task, who or what their captain took was a big topic for the S-Team, while the A and B teams were left to clean up and only felt awe upon seeing the top-ranked enforcement team.
All except Zestria... Her body and eyes could see things and feel things on a new level, and she felt that, except for Zeon and the top 3 of the S-Team, she was more powerful than them and not only that.
During the combat, when Captain Zeon used her Zera Flare... She felt her master, the presence and scent of Raven also exploded... causing her to feel aroused and curious to find where he went.
***
Thud!
Zeon's feet landed in her cavern—a special apartment converted and built for her over the years.
A huge mountain home to the last remaining dragon of the Bahamut bloodline was located just north of Arcadia.
"Phew... I got some treasure... where should I put this loot?" Her eyes narrowed like golden crescents watching the sleeping face of the male she stole.
Dragons were called the bandits of monsters by many; they would rage when angry and steal when they saw something they wanted...
Inside the cavern was a beautiful modern apartment, with white and black walls with artworks that might make many human nations cry, their national treasure and cultural heritages used as "art" for a dragon's living room and hallways.
Her tail wrapped around Raven's chest, carrying him around as she checked her entire cavern to ensure no one had stolen all her treasures, from bronze spoons to expensive and priceless pottery and gold...
This was the true face of Zeon, the S-Team Captain...
A mere kleptomaniac with a slight case of OCD.
"What should I do? Will he be alright in the gold and gemstone room... Maybe the pretty stone cellar...?"
