Malvina glared at the metal lug barreling through the insects in front of her. Thanks to his armor, Volearden could ignore the attacks of the Oebu Sin and travel through them unharmed. When the bugs tried holding onto him to prevent him from moving, the dragons armor heated up, cooking all the parts of the insects that were too close to him. Malvina was doing something similar, her body surrounded by a layer of phoenix flames that kept the Oebu Sin at bay. Hey! the phoenix shouted, unafraid of being heard by anyone else thanks to the droning of the insects. Lets make things more interesting, you metal barbarian. Do you want to wager anything?
Volearden paused midflight and flapped his wings hard once to whirl his body around to face Malvina. He flapped his wings to hover in place, the movements smacking away and burning the insects approaching him. Not interested.
Malvina blinked. If youre not interested, whyd you turn around? the queen of the phoenixes asked. Deep underneath that ugly, metal, cold exterior, I know theres a hot-blooded dragon hidden within. Dont tell me youre afraid of competing against me.
My risk tolerance is very low, Volearden said. I dont like gambling.
You left everything in the paws of a great-grandson you barely even know, Malvina said and snorted. We both know handing off your responsibility to someone else is the riskiest thing you can do.
He beat both of us, Volearden said.
Malvina rolled her eyes. We were drunk.
It doesnt matter if I was drunk. Volearden wings slapped away a few more bugs. You cant beat me when Im drunk.
Now thats just plain false, Malvina said, placing her wings against her hips. Since her body was mostly made of fire to keep the bugs away, she remained floating in place. Get drunk and fight me to prove it.
I wont lose, Malvina said. A wide grin split her beak as she dashed off into another direction. After all, I already found the bug!
Volearden looked around before flapping his wings hard to chase after the phoenix. There was no way he was going to lose to a stupid bird.

Hyeonnam Tokki glanced up at Lindyss. Maybe because he was a cute animal skeleton, he was given the option of sitting on the armrest of the cursed elfs rocking chair. Youre here for the towers rewards for defeating the severed hand?
No, Lindyss said. But if I happen to get it, I wouldnt mind. Im here to make sure the tower doesnt fall to the Oebu Sin. We just discovered this place, and if it were to be destroyed before we could explore it fully, thatd be a shame.
Kim Hajuns expression darkened as he walked alongside the skeletons carrying the elfs rocking chair on their shoulders. Under the effects of peer pressure and the coaxing of his crush, Gaegukja Yeol, Kim Hajun had sold his soul to an evil person for the greater good. Now, he was regretting it. The only ways hed escape with his soul intact were if he could defeat the severed hand with just the lords and the underlings under their command, or if Lindyss fought the severed hand and perished. How is it? Kim Hajun asked, turning his head towards Ouyang Feng, who rejoined the group after having been slapped away by the hand. Do you think you can tank it?
Absolutely, Ouyang Feng said. Im not sure who that severed hand belonged to, but it mustve been attached to an easily frustrated individual. I can feel my strength surging with every passing second, which cant be too healthy for the owner of that hand. It keeps getting angrier and angrier.
What if its just looking for its body? Erin asked. When everyone turned to look at her, the fairy queen blinked. I mean, what else could a severed hand want?
Who cares? Ouyang Feng asked and punched his fists together before running towards the hand. Lets smash it.
