【Beginning】
As the roar of the dragon echoed in everyone’s mind, Ursula felt dizzy. When she recovered her senses, she found that her companions were fighting among themselves. As out-of-control Spiritors moaned in pain and torn their old friends apart with sharp claws, their Dracospirits flew around them chaotically.
Ursula was comforting the Dracospirits next to her with all her effort. She tried to awake her companions using the power of resonance. In the past, she had managed to save many from the verge of going berserk, but she had never tried to save those who were already mad...
Ursula the Dragon Maiden: All I can do is try...
A Dragon Spiritor noticed Ursula. He charged at Ursula, claws ready for attack. As she was focusing on the power of resonance, Ursula could not evade the attack. Just before the scratch landed, a strong gust of wind knocked the berserk spiritor aside. The next moment Ursula was liftedup by a pair of warm hands. The owner of the hands brought her to a higher ground, where she saw her wounded companions, Barbara and Agatha.
Barbara the Dragon Maiden: You haven’t gone mad, right?
Agatha the Dragon Maiden: How is it? Can you wake them?
Ursula the Dragon Maiden: He’s... gone completely mad.
Ursula the Dragon Maiden: ‘Don’t cry! Ursula! There must be a way!’
The campsite was covered with black smoke. A few wizards here and there were trying to stop the Dragon Spiritors from killing each other. In the camp square, there was a strange man glowing with mysterious glints, brutally slaughtering those around him.
Barbara the Dragon Maiden: He’s going crazy! Let’s get out of here!
Reaching out telepathically, Ursula discovered immediately that the man was absorbing the power of dragons from everyone inducing insanity.
Agatha the Dragon Maiden: But everyone is—Ursula!
Ursula jumped down. After easing Ursula’s landing with a gust of wind, Babara and Agatha followed her immediately.
Barbara the Dragon Maiden: What’re you doing?
Ursula the Dragon Maiden: I must stop him!
【Before Battles】
Heretics: Calm down, offsprings of Ethereal Dragons!
Ursula the Dragon Maiden: I am not going mad. Please let me stop him!
【End】
Crying Dragon Spiritor: No! Don’t take away my power!
Roaring Dragon Spiritor: Weakling! You are not qualified to possess it!
Dying Wizard: It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have stolen the Great Mage’s. I did wrong!
Roaring Dragon Spiritor: Die!
Ursula the Dragon Maiden: Stop! They’re not retaliating!
The man covered in dark-purple glints stopped. He approached Ursula as he stared blankly at her. He couldn’t help himself but hold out his hands to grab hers.
Novalis the Dragon Follower: Sophie?
Barbara the Dragon Maiden: Ursula! Get away from that monster!
The man grasped Ursula’s hand. His dragon claw shrank and turned back into a human palm. Stained with blood, his fingers hooked onto Ursula’s webbed hand. Ursula was frightened, but, at the same time, the man’s golden eyes reminded Ursula of those of Sara.
Agatha the Dragon Maiden: Run! The wizards are coming!
Heretics: The offsprings of Ethereal Dragons! Are you dodging your responsibilities?
Novalis the Dragon Follower: It’s all your fault... If I had never met you... If you had never existed!
The man released his rage on the wizards and blasted an opening in the enemies’ encirclement with a single blow. Barbara raised her staff to create a gust which blew the three Dragon Maidens and the man away. In response, the wizards also casted a spell immediately send out strange tentacles out at them. Seeing their imminent capture by the tentacles, Agatha stopped them with her spread wings spread, but as a result, they constricted her and she plummeted down. Ursula wanted to cry out to her, but the unstoppable gust already carried them away. Barbara was carried away alone, whereas Ursula and the man landed in a forest, separated from their companions.
