At this moment, apart from the still intact half of the crescent-shaped giant sternum, which can barely confirm that it was originally a colossal object far beyond imagination, there is almost nothing left that can reveal its original appearance.
There was no further resistance, just as our previous guess had turned out to be true. The core of this mutated giant bone dragon was located inside its head, and there was only one left.
Otherwise, how could there be no further unusual activity after its skull was broken and destroyed?
It seems that all we need to wait for now is to confirm its complete demise, the only remaining process.
I wonder when those still-burning, eerie blue flames will be completely stained with pure colors.
I remember clearly that after the previously manipulated corpse dragon was defeated, the ghostly blue flames that remained on its spot were also turned into pure white, showing a gentle fluctuation, which was even attracted to the [Simulated Magic Ring] that had been placed on my left arm as a sleeve band.
Although I don't understand why, it should obviously be a safe situation.
Can I then prove that the soul after being completely purified—let's assume for now that it was the soul of that corpse dragon—in its original form was a gentle, pure white flame-like shape?
If that's the case, then...
Holding Hikari, who was exhausted and panting heavily in my arms, I first comforted the little idiot who had done the most work this time, then frowned and looked again at the color of the firelight burning on the surface of the remaining bones.
Meanwhile, on the other side, with no more bones to cut, the equally exhausted Miyuki slowly retreated, her tightly gripped sword pointing diagonally to the left and right, panting heavily and remaining vigilant. Her hands trembled violently, yet her clenched fingers remained remarkably steady, and her face showed little sign of frustration, instead appearing as if she were pondering how to improve in the future.
The hound, having once again brought back a piece of broken bone, poked its head out from mid-air. This time, however, one end of the broken bone it had brought back still burned with a faint bluish hue, exuding a chilling coldness.
Just before I reached out to take it, the cat nestled against my neck suddenly opened its eyes and swatted me away with its paw.
Before I could even realize what was happening, I saw the half of the bone fragment that had fallen from mid-air tumbling around, when suddenly an ominous light appeared on its surface, and then it exploded!
This really startled me!
Fortunately, the reaction was timely, and the temporary barrier contained the flying bone fragments to some extent. Otherwise, not only would we who were close by be injured, but Shen Xue, who was standing not far below, would also have suffered considerable injuries due to being caught off guard.
"What happened?" Miyuki looked up in astonishment and asked loudly.
"Meow."
The cat suddenly meowed, its long tail held high, and its soft fur stood on end, almost making it appear a size larger.
I reached out and pinched a small piece of bone fragment that had been completely depleted of its force. I turned my head blankly to look at it, and then the cat meowed again.
I can't help but think to myself, "If only I could understand what [cats] are saying." Even after having a long experience of being a cat, I still don't understand animal language, which is a frustrating reality.
Only two people around me could understand what the little guy was saying. One of them was curled up in my arms, completely limp, his lips moving but unable to utter a single sound. The other, despite claiming to be my servant, would only pretend to be clueless and watch the show whenever it came to crucial moments, proving useless and unable to share any anticipation.
I thought it would be the same this time.
"...Ha, it seems you guys aren't taking your work very seriously."
Alice, who had been disguised as a doll, suddenly heard a sound coming from her ear.
My gaze shifted downwards, and I expressed my doubt with my eyes.
"Ah, it's nothing. The little guy just found that big guy who should have died long ago and is thinking of making a last-ditch effort." The three-lobed lips curled up, and the tone was relaxed.
It looked as if the rascal rabbit was giving a faint smile.
Shenxue, who was waiting for us, seemed to realize something, her icy gaze fixed on the pile of bones not far away.
As if it were a signal, after the shattered bones exploded, the eerie blue flames, mostly dyed pure white with a few shadowy colors mixed in, began to pulsate violently. The magical fluctuations emanating from them were no longer stable, but instead underwent drastic changes, contracting and expanding, and sparks faintly burst forth.
Sensing the approaching danger, the icy female swordswoman leaped back, instantly erecting layers of thick ice walls in front of her. The Pegasus, having exhausted most of its strength, let out an uneasy cry, its wings, wreathed in the wind, trembling with fear as it began to turn around.
"At this rate, with your slow pace and sluggish perception, you might not even be able to escape the danger zone safely by the time the enemy explodes, right?"
Alice covered her mouth and giggled, then suddenly reached out and pressed her paw against her face, tearing off a ruby to serve as an eye, and forcefully shoved it into my palm: "Take this. With this, I can catch up with you masters as quickly as possible later."
Without stopping the construction of the armor spell, I frowned: "What does this mean?"
“It doesn’t mean anything.” Alice shook her head, her three-lobed lips pouting again. “Isn’t this just what a waiter is supposed to do?”
It stretched out its claws to untie the ropes securing it, nimbly escaping my grasp. Then, as if teasing me, it jumped onto the back of my hand, its face missing an eye, and bowed gracefully, just like that morning when we first met: "As the best, most capable, and most loyal servant, my master, Alice is willing to give you everything."
