A battle raged on the Dragon Lands trail. Three travelers were battling the Dragon God himself, Orsted. The battle was clearly not in the travelers' favor. Eris was thrown back with a single blow, landing painfully against the wall. Ruijerd struggled to fend off Orsted's attacks, trying to give Rudeus and Eris time to escape.

Ruijerd: "Eris, Rudeus, run!"

Orsted: "You don't understand. He must die."

Ruijerd: "I won't allow..."

Rudeus sat on the ground 5 meters away. His staff flew into the wall and he couldn't reach it. He trembled and watched the battle in horror, unable to utter a word. Meanwhile, Orsted, knocking the spear out of Ruijerd's hands, struck him sharply in the stomach, knocking Ruijerd unconscious and sending him flying to the edge of the path. Orsted stood up and walked toward Rudeus.

Orsted: "Before you die, tell Hitogami that I, the Dragon God, will come for him..."

Orsted raised his hand for the finishing blow. Rudeus froze, still unable to recover. Then Eris's scream rang out.

Eris: "Don't you dare!!! Don't touch Rudeus, you monster!!! Rudeus, run!!!"
