Eldritch Creature's Guide

Chapter 54 Every Recruitment Must Have Fight!

Around the same time, Samiel was meeting the Cardinal of the Hall of Kadath, Karliana Kircheisen, in private; Yvraine was searching for him across the Citadel of the Zephystrand City, she kept walking through several hours already, and at the same time, cursing at the insufferable man that she couldn't find him.

"He couldn't be hiding from me, right?"

Yvraine muttered as she kept searching for Samiel, not wanting to admit that she was becoming distressed about the entire situation.

Suddenly she stopped in the hall, as she was thinking about this possibility before she quickly dispersed these negative thoughts. After that, she went to search for him, but then she saw the Lord of the Zephystrand City, Lanlaris Daragan walking through the corridors of the Citadel with a sour face.

"You shouldn't be going inside... Cardinal Kircheisen from the Hall of Kadath is inside talking with your 'friend'"

Yvraine ignored his emphasis on the word friend when Lanlaris referred to Samiel, and on the other hand, she was pretty terrified about the fact that he was there with the strongest female Cardinal who was a bloody reputation in the Tower and across the whole Cosmos.

But she was wise enough to just remained here and wait to see. She was in no position to do anything, not to mention, she guessed why she was here, as Samiel predicted that sooner or later, someone very important from the Hall of Kadath would come down here to meet him.

He always joked about it and said he hoped they would bear a lot of expensive gifts on the red carpet, not hiding his greedy nature even a bit, just exactly the money grubber he was.

As she was lost in her thoughts, suddenly she heard some noise and saw some she didn't want to see. Or rather, correction, someone she wanted to see as a rotting corpse somewhere in a ditch.

"I think that the standard of the Zephystrand really fell since they are allowing various vagabond lizards to enter these days? They are allowing them to wander through the hall and break expensive pieces of art instead of being in the kitchen to be butchered."

Stated Yvraine with faux sadness as she looked at a broken vase, while the young woman to whom she said these words was fuming with a fit of anger, ready to attack anytime, as Yvraine smirked at her.

"Shut up, you frigid elven bitch!"

Shouted Estrid, the Red Dragon and daughter of the Cardinal Zaldidraax of the Hall of Kadath. Not to own anything to her reputation, Estrid immediately shot several fireballs toward Yvraine, who just agilely dodged every one of them.

Estrid didn't waste any time, as she immediately attacked Yvraine at the slightest provocation and first chance that was presented to her. Red Dragons were famous for their short tempers, not really thinking about the situation too much, and the fight was the only solution to the problem for them.

Especially Estrid, who inherited the "best" traits from her father. Cardinal Zaldidraax was even more short-tempered and had a nasty personality compared to the rest of the Red Dragon Species.

"Oh, my poor little lizard musclehead... even your insults are more intelligent than your small puny brain."

Yvraine said with a light giggle as he landed down and slightly provocatively covered her mouth. Estrid was always so easily provoked just by a few words; something Yvraine effortlessly exploited each time they fought.

It was like they were following some already pre-written script of things.

Lanlaris Daragan didn't really know what to do in this situation, so he chose the tactical retreat. On the one hand, he didn't really want to poke his nose into matters of Crown Princess of the Nesser Dynasty, where he was only a vassal.

And on the other hand, he didn't want to really offend the backing of Estrid, namely her crazy father, who was said to have overprotective nature, and Red Dragons, like all Dragons, were known for their ability to hold grudges indefinitely.

Lanlaris was sure that Cardinal Zaldidraax wouldn't have any problem with walking straight to the capital of the Nesser Dynasty on the 91st Floor and killing him on the public street, not to mention that there wouldn't be many people who would stand in his way, as Zaldidraax was known for his fearsome strength and apparently he grew even stronger.

He read the reports from the happenings in the Midnight Worlds, and apparently, Cardinal Zaldidraax reached Level 97 Legendary and was very close to reaching Level 98, and that meant, soon, in a few centuries, the Hall of Kadath would welcome another Limit Legendary or known by their titles among the mortals, Holy Legendaries.

The title or name Holy was derived from the fact that they were the closest thing to the Transcendence.

Even for the Nesser Dynasty, the number of Limit Legendaries could be counted on one hand, as they were the fundamental backbone of all 13 Gates in the mortal plane, the indisputable rulers of the mortal worlds, the Level 100 Legendaries.

Each Holy was Apocalypse manifested under the Transcendental Level; some of them were frightening, reaching even the combat prowess of newly ascended Transcendentals who were not combat-oriented.

Yvraine counterattacked her rival with her twin swords as she slashed at Estrid, appearing before her with her lightning speed, to which Estrid used her bare body to block the attacks.

Dragons, even in their humanoid form, were physically far superior to countless species, not to mention Estrid was one with a superior bloodline even amongst the Red Dragon Flock.

Her entire limbs were covered in sturdy and powerful Dragon Scales as they withstood the fierce barrage of slashes and hacks from Yvraine, who looked grim that her plans failed spectacularly. On the other hand, Estrid wore a provocative smirk as she looked at her rival.

Both Yvraine and Estrid knew each other for a long time, and they hated each other for an equal amount of time. And in most of the times they met, it would end in both of them fighting each other, typically with the aim of killing.

Fortunately, somebody stopped them all the time, but it was all for nothing because all the times they fought, both Yvraine and Estrid were equally matched. While Yvraine was more skillful and more agile, faster and smarter, in the end, she could never injure Estrid.

Estrid, as Red Dragon, was physically far more powerful, and her defenses were something that Yvraine could never penetrate; at max, she would leave only scratches and bruises on her scales.

So their battles were more of battles of attrition, but this time Lanlaris could see the difference. He didn't know how, but he could see that this time, contrary to usual, Yvraine wasn't doing the same things.

Now, she was aiming at points and places of Estrid's body where she would cause her the most pain. That was something she learned from Samiel, as he once told her, if you fight a foe, you cannot kill, then you need to do anything other to win and employ some unconventional methods.

One of them was just basically torturing the enemy during your fight with him. Basically, forcing your own body to defeat itself by continuous torture and pain, not many had such high tolerance that they could ignore it without any problems or side effects.

But Lanlaris, with his skillful eyes, could notice that Crown Princess Yvraine was becoming more and more tired as the fight was progressing, and while Estrid was wounded all around her entire body and bleeding, she had a maniac grin over her face as she looked at her rival provocatively.

'This is not going to do anything... in the end, Estrid would win once more. In the end, that crazy amount of vitality and brute power will overpower her sooner or later. Princess has a problem with injuring her and had put a lot of effort into causing the Red Dragoness even slightest amount of injuries...'

Thought Lanlaris Daragan as he observed the situation. While it may seem that Yvraine had the upper hand in this fight, but in reality, she was severely disadvantaged. While she was injuring Estrid all over, Estrid had tremendous defense and vitality, and her healing factor was already kicking on, and her injuries were already being healed.

And it was going in the way as Lanlaris predicted because Estrid started healing, and Yvraine was becoming more and more tired as they clashed over and over. This was to be expected because not even the Silvermoon Elvevs could compete with Dragons in terms of stamina and vitality; that was their exclusive power.

"Estrid, what are you doing!"

Shouted a hard female voice belonging to Cardinal Karliana Kircheisen as she finished her negotiation with Samiel. When she exited the room, she was engaged by what she saw, especially when she saw the half-destroyed hallway of the Citadel.

"But she started it!"

Estrid immediately stopped in her tracks and shouted back to Cardinal Karliana Kircheisen, who immediately went to reprimand Estrid for her behavior. But one harsh glare from Karliana silenced her completely, not to mention that Karliana knew how to deal with this problematic dragon girl.

She was taking care of a lot after Estrid, and even right now, she was tasked by the Hall Master to watch over her, so she didn't cause too much trouble.

"And I am ending it!"

Said Karliana as Estrid stomped onto the ground, like a petulant child whose toy was taken, being angry over the fact that her fight with Yvraine was halted.

After Karliana, Samiel followed shortly and looked both at Yvraine and Estrid, as he noticed that Yvraine was slightly injured, but nothing too serious, fortunately. And even if she was seriously injured by some miracle, they were in the Citadel of Zephystrand, so finding a healer or anything to heal would be no problem.

When Yvraine was looking at Samiel, who was looking at her, she was ashamed? Or maybe she felt humiliated or something else, which Samiel't wasn't able to see.

Probably, she had never experienced anything like this, so it was a relatively new feeling.

Probably, because she looked weak in front of the man she was interested in, not to mention, at the same time, her rival was looking stronger than her. Also, the entire situation seemed like she was defeated in the fight.

Though it wasn't that far from the truth because even though Cardinal Karliana stopped the fight between the two of them, it didn't really mean anything because anyone experienced enough could see where the fight was heading and who would take the role of winner and loser.

Yvraine feared that he wouldn't be interested in her seeing her be defeated by Estrid, or even worse, he would grow interested in that lizard.

Instead, she already had nightmares about that.
