"What do you think Momon-san? Where is our little dragon heading?" Raidyn asked, as she turned her head towards her companion, while the two of them continued their fast sprint.

"I don't know. Maybe something drew its attention. The strangest thing is, it does not bother turn in our direction." Momon replied.

"Now that you mention it, you are right. It is strange to just ignore possible threats that are pursuing you. Only a fool does such thing." Commented Raidyn.

"Maybe our [Ring of Concealing] is more effective than we thought, and the dragon does not recognize us as a threat." Answered the black-clad warrior.

Raidyn sighed. "Such unfortunate event. When I hoped to get a good fight, the enemy just ran away."

"Or maybe, the dragon picked up a scent from that direction. Dragons usually have an excellent nose." Mused Momon.

Raidyn nodded and continued. "What do you think about those traces?"

Momon shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know. Seeing this world's technological level, it would be impossible for them to make cars. This Empire neither has the industry nor the technology to make them."

"Maybe it was a strange animal that left those tracks. However, I found the traces of galvanized rubber on them. Still, we met animals before that left rubber as an excrement." Explained Raidyn.

Momon nodded. "Yes, you are right. For example, the rubber worm that we found in the Forest of the Elves left rubber as a dung."

Raidyn chuckled. "Yeah, those are really weird animals."

Momon nodded. "Indeed... At least, Entoma found some use of them."

From the corner of her eyes, Raidyn spotted a caravan of carts. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Look there Momon-kun."

Momon looked forward. And what he saw stunned him for a moment. "Stop." He said, and the two of them halted for a moment with their wild charge.

"Are those vehicles really what I think they are? You see them, don't you? Or are my eyes deceiving me?" Raidyn asked. "I don't sense any illusions from that direction."

"I see them too. Your eyes do not deceive you." Momon assured.

Raidyn smirked. "Then let's kill some dragons, shall we?"

Momon nodded and lunged forward toward the caravan what was already under attack by the huge dragon.

"Don't forget. We are undercover. We can't raise any suspicion." Explained Momon.

"Oki-doki boss. I will keep my big mouth shut." Under her hood, a closed futuristic looking helmet slide over her face. It did not seem to have any eye holes,instead the full mask resembled made from the samegray material of the metallic exoskeleton that she wore. Lids brimmedin the two sides of the strange mask, and several tubes adorned the sides of it what led under the shadow of her hood.

Scene Change: Fortress Gown:

The Sorcerer Kingdom paid close attention to the safety of their troops. After all, the people of the Sorcerer Kingdom were the foundation and holders of the pillars of the government structure. Of course, the Sorcerer King and his vassals could easily rule over their lands without people. Still. Without them, the Kingdom would be utterly deserted. Without them, there would be no trades neither any advancement. Thus, the Sorcerer King kept them as his vassals. If his vassals shown their worth. The Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown showered them with miracles and good life.

In cases when an individual worth surpasses its price of losing. What meant death in a given situation. The Supreme Beings even blessed the person either transforming him or her into a heteromorphic being. Such as granting the individual eternal life or extended their life span and giving back their youth. Of course, the two remained Supreme Beings do not force such things. It was the individual choice if he, she or it accepted the gift. If not, the person could ask for another miracle. For example, resurrecting a deceased person or wealth beyond belief in some cases.
