Amidst the cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

---

A piercing cry echoed, and then something dove from the sky. Indeed, it was none other than the most famous of all the multiverse's boss creatures, the dragon, without a doubt.

A dragon of the Draconic family, of the Chromatic Dragon genus, and of the White Dragon species—a young white dragon. Not the one that was ridden by a certain brother after being transformed into a beast, but a large, winged lizard with a snow-white body and scales covering it. It measured seven meters from head to tail, and its wingspan was five meters. While calling it a behemoth might be a bit of an exaggeration, the dragon's innate aura and the illusion created by its high vantage point still gave one a sense of awe.

Very strong, very strong... and still very strong.

Although white dragons are the least intelligent and weakest of the chromatic dragons, flying not very fast, not very strong, not very large, and not very skilled in spellcasting, this is only in comparison to the other chromatic dragons.

No matter how weak a white dragon is, it is still a pure-blooded dragon. Being mocked by other dragon races does not prevent a white dragon from becoming the apex predator in a region, the ultimate boss in an adventure story, a henchman of evil forces, or some other role. Similarly, it does not prevent it from considering the succubus and Xiaobai as prey for this hunt.

Moreover, from its size, it was clear that the white dragon attacking the succubus and Xiaobai was an adult, and possibly even in its prime. As is well known, a dragon's power increases with age. A prime white dragon is already a formidable opponent.

"So, what's going on here?! Boss, you didn't mention there was a dragon here! A dragon, a dragon, a dragon! That's a dragon!" The succubus shouted while running, casting a Haste spell and a Cat's Grace on herself, running as fast as a rabbit. Xiaobai, behind her, couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.

"How would I know?!" He shouted back, his voice growing fainter as the succubus got further and further away: "Aren't you a mage? This is your moment to shine! Kill that weak dragon, and you'll succeed! Think about the legendary stories of mages battling dragons!"

"In those stories, the mages have a foolish paladin and a foolish warrior as tanks, and a powerful cleric as support! I have none of that!"

"I'll cover you!"

"Do you really believe that?!"

"Anyway, aren't you a mage? Can't you communicate with the Weave? Quickly, use a Dragon Slayer's Strike to finish off this dragon!" Xiaobai shouted.

"Do you really believe that?!"

In any case, this pointless conversation seemed to irritate the great dragon in the sky. After a dragon's roar, the white dragon flapped its wings, and its speed increased, quickly catching up to the succubus and Xiaobai. It opened its mouth, and a white, nitrogen-like breath spewed out, rushing towards the succubus and Xiaobai.

The succubus felt a cold chill on her back, as if the cold air was piercing through her clothes and skin, seeping into her bones. She immediately rolled on the ground to avoid the cold breath, then got up and continued running.

The dragon persistently continued to breathe in the air, making the already cold temperature even colder. Its target alternated between the succubus and Xiaobai, forcing them to perform various parkour moves, spinning and jumping to dodge... However, gradually, the succubus and Xiaobai began to feel that the white dragon did not intend to kill them.

"It seems to be driving us towards somewhere," the succubus said, deliberately deviating from the original path. As expected, she was met with a more intense cold breath attack, which did not directly hit her but forced her back onto the original path.

"Is it a trap?" Xiaobai asked.

"I heard that white dragons aren't very smart. Could they have this ability?" the succubus countered.

"Although they are called the shame of dragons, dragons are still dragons! They should have some intelligence, right?" Xiaobai said.

"I feel like this white dragon is a bit stupider than normal. Am I wrong?" the succubus continued: "Also, aren't dragons and vampires both fantasy creatures? Maybe you can try to get close to it, and things might turn around."

"I remember that mages have a common dream of capturing a dragon as a mount. If it's a female, you can ride it during the day and at night. So I won't take it from you, mage. Go ahead, I'll support you mentally!"

"—Are you two done yet?!"

At that moment, the white dragon above the succubus and Xiaobai spoke.

"..."

"Ah... that..."

"Ah, ah..."

The succubus and Xiaobai stopped running, looked up, and opened their mouths wide to stare at the white dragon.

"What?! Surprised? For the great dragon race, learning the language of a lowly species is not difficult. So... listen to me, you bastards!"

The great prime white dragon, in the middle of its middle-schooler-like speech, suddenly realized something very awkward—neither the succubus nor Xiaobai was listening to him.

Xiaobai had a blank look on his face, his eyes unfocused and hollow:

"Ah, that, it spoke."

The succubus nodded and replied, "Yes, it spoke, it spoke."

"I never thought it would speak." Xiaobai looked as if he had seen something rare.

"Yes, to be honest, I initially thought dragons would just 'roar' and 'roar.' It really surprised me," the succubus nodded in agreement.

"—Is my speech that surprising?!" The white dragon, furious, interrupted:

"Lowly mortals and weak vampires! Don't you understand? I am a dragon! A dragon! Dragons are generally smarter than humans! We are symbols of wisdom and power! We stand at the top of the food chain. I am great, I am very great! I am a great creature!"

"But it's a white dragon," Xiaobai said hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, as everyone knows, white dragons are the weakest of dragons," the succubus nodded, as if it were a given.

"Yes, so it's normal for us to be surprised," Xiaobai nodded again.

"—That's not it." The succubus raised her hand to stop him.

"What's not it?" Xiaobai asked.

The succubus said in a surprised tone, "Just now, when the white dragon spoke to us, it made sense. It's not just mimicking human speech like a parrot; it really understands us!"

Xiaobai also replied in surprise, "Ah! That's right! How amazing! The white dragon is so smart! It can understand what we say!"

Although it sounded like a compliment, the prime white dragon in the sky could not be happy at all.

"You two are dead!!"

Thus, this time, the dragon's breath attack became even more violent—no longer deliberately deviating, but aiming precisely to kill. It truly wanted to kill them, freeze them into ice sculptures, and turn them into frozen meat, then cut them into mincemeat to make dumplings. So this time, the succubus and Xiaobai felt even more pressure.

They had to run faster, react quicker, and dodge, jump, and roll with heightened alertness. Not only did their physical exertion increase, but they also became mentally exhausted.

Xiaobai used the whirlwind created by the dragon's breath to roll forward, then stood up and continued running. As he ran, he shouted to the succubus:

"So, why did you provoke it? Do you have any strategy, mage?"

The succubus grabbed a protruding ice pillar from the ground, used it to jump into the air, and dodged a dragon's breath, then countered:

"What strategy?!"

"So, you have no strategy at all?! What are you thinking?!"

If it weren't for the fast running, Xiaobai would have strangled the succubus.

The succubus said, "Because of my life plan—provoking a dragon and being chased by it, isn't that interesting?!"

"How interesting?!"

As Xiaobai said this, he was blown away by a dragon's breath. As he was blown away, he transformed into a bat, narrowly escaping. Then he landed on the ground and continued running:

"Only a lunatic like you would find it interesting!"

"So, you don't understand anything, young master—never knowing how to enjoy life—"

As the succubus spoke, she turned around, facing the dragon. She raised a wand and fired a series of missiles at the white dragon.

The white dragon seemed startled, hesitated for a moment, and then the missiles hit it, exploding.

"Hit the target, bullseye, ten points!" The succubus said, then turned and continued running.

Behind them, the dragon roared in pain and anger—

"Damn mortals, damn, damn, damn, damn!" The dragon was on the verge of a rampage.

"Mage, your attack is useless. Can't you use a stronger spell?"

"If you go and rape a female wolf right now, I'll cast a Dragon Slayer's Strike and take you both out!"
