That time I got reincarnated as a female true dragon

Chapter 25: The Last Stand of the True Dragons

The battlefield had become a wasteland of destruction, littered with the fallen bodies of angels and the weakened forms of the Demon Lords and their allies. Only the True Dragons remained standing, but even they were starting to falter against the relentless assault of Michael and Feldway.

Velriza, Velgrynd, Veldora, and Velzard, battered and bruised, fought with every ounce of strength they had left. Yet, despite their best efforts, the overwhelming power of their enemies was beginning to take its toll.

Velgrynd was the first to fall. Her once brilliant flames were reduced to embers as she collapsed to the ground, her breath labored, her blue hair matted with dirt and sweat. "I... I can't... hold on any longer..." she whispered, her voice trembling with exhaustion.

"Velgrynd!" Velriza shouted, rushing toward her sister, but she couldn't reach her in time.

Feldway swooped down, his cold smile sending a shiver through Velriza's spine. "One down," he said with a mocking tone. "It seems even the mighty True Dragons aren't invincible."

Before Velriza could respond, Veldora let out a furious roar, launching himself at Feldway with all the power he could muster. "You won't get away with this!" Veldora bellowed, his golden eyes blazing with rage as he unleashed a storm of draconic energy at Feldway.

But Feldway easily deflected the attack, smirking as he sent a counterattack flying toward Veldora. The blast struck Veldora head-on, and with a pained roar, the Storm Dragon crashed to the ground, his body still as the dust settled around him.

"Veldora!" Velriza's heart pounded as she saw her brother fall. The situation was growing worse by the second. Without Veldora and Velgrynd, the tide of the battle had shifted even more in Feldway and Michael's favor.

Michael, hovering in the air, looked down at Velriza with cold, golden eyes. "This is the end, Velriza. Your siblings have fallen, and soon, you will too."

Velzard, still standing but clearly weakened, staggered forward, her icy breath freezing the ground around her. "I won't let you... take her," Velzard said, her voice filled with resolve despite her battered state.

Feldway sneered, his gaze turning to Velzard. "Oh, you still have some fight left in you? Let's end that."

Before Velzard could react, Feldway struck with a devastating attack, his energy slicing through the air with deadly precision. Velzard gasped as the blast hit her directly, sending her crashing to the ground, motionless.

"No... Velzard!" Velriza screamed, her heart breaking as her final sibling fell. She stood alone now, facing the impossible.

Feldway and Michael hovered above her, their auras overwhelming. "You've fought well, Velriza," Michael said, his voice calm and emotionless. "But it's time for this battle to end. Your core will join the others, and Veldanava's vision will finally come to pass."

Velriza's body trembled as she struggled to stand. She could feel Azura, her Manas skill, urging her to keep fighting, but even with Azura's power, the odds seemed insurmountable. She was on the verge of collapse, her energy almost completely drained.

Feldway raised his hand, gathering his energy for one final, decisive blow. "Goodbye, Velriza."

Velriza braced herself, knowing she had no strength left to defend against the attack. As the energy blast shot toward her, she closed her eyes, preparing for the end.

But then... something happened.

A brilliant light flashed before her eyes, and the attack that should have ended her life never hit. Instead, a powerful force deflected the blast, sending it flying harmlessly into the sky.
