"Sprayshot!" shouts Lisha, as a gold symbol appears behind her.
Lisha continues to shoot down Gargoyles before communicating with Shalice and Tillfur.
"Is everyone safe?" questions Lisha.
"Yes, but I'm sorry, Princess. We're starting our retreat," replies Shalice.
"That's fine, but I'm aiming for the boss with the flute," replies Lisha, "It's likely that the flute is the key to luring the Abyss. The Abyss has the habit of attacking living things indiscriminately, but that man hasn't been attacked once."
Lisha continues to fly around and shoot down more Gargoyles, but suddenly she starts to cough out blood. Lisha powers her rifle, launches a shot straight at the Gargoyle, and heads onto Ragreed. "Seven Heads!"
Ragreed moves out of the way before laughing, "Did you think the such attack would hit me?" questions Ragreed. He pauses momentarily, before realizing Lisha has made a straight path toward him. She charges head-on at him, while Ragreed does the same while smirking.
"Fool! You can't win this one-on-one fight! You've exhausted to the extent of vomiting blood. You're at your limit to equip that machine!" Ragreed says to himself.
"How clumsy, Lisesharte. It was a mistake in the first place for you to have the title of princess, even if it was for a short period of time. Now you should scatter that life, False Princess!!!"
Lisha draws her sword device, and so does Ragreed.
"Usually, after equipping a machine dragon, the sword device can only be used as a control stick, but even so, they can break through a Dragon-Ride's barrier! With his stance, he won't have the time to block or evade my attack!" Lisha thinks.
"GOT YOU!" shouts Lisha.
"TOO BAD FOR YOU!" shouts Ragreed.
Ragreed, at inhuman speeds, is able to break Lisha's swords and land a hit on her while blowing right past unscathed.
Lisha gets launched into the ground and the rubble.
"GAH!...W-what did you do...what the hell did you do?!"
"Quickdraw. It's a kind of Dragon Knight secret technique once handed down in the empire's army. A special move that dishes out an unseen attack. With just one stroke in just an instant. Through a sequence of movements from the perfect overlap of manipulating two different systems."
Lisha watches as her machine dragon won't move. But from a distance she spots several more Dragon Rides moving toward them.
"Those are reinforcements from the capital! There are knight squadron members who can still fight...If I can endure a little bit more-"
"Don't tell me you think those reinforcements are from the capital?"
Lisha's motivation suddenly drops as she looks closer at the Drag-Rides, "A gray coat similar to the Old Empire's colors....No way......The Rebel Army...? Not only are there a dozen Gargoyles remaining, but also around 100 reinforcements from the rebel army! It's no use...We can't escape..."
Ragreed starts to laugh hysterically. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! HOW FOOLISH, PRINCESS LISESHARTE!! NO, Aren't you just a slave who betrayed the empire? That's your true identity! Even though the Earl House abandoned you, I taught you how to use a Drag-Ride to make you live as an assassin...The Coup D'etat succeeded; when the inheritor died, you became the princess."
Lisesharte eyes widen, confused about how Ragreed knew so much about her.
"Y-you...how do you know such things?" questions Lisesharte in a worn-out voice.
