Cecilia was clearly startled by Gauss's sudden "change of pace."
Gauss's winged flight was even slightly faster than that of the Red Dragon Beast, Hefis. Of course, that was only his short-term burst speed. If the journey were extended, Hefis still possessed an innate advantage as a dragon beast.
"Are you really not afraid of dying?"
Cecilia muttered to herself.
Through Gauss's twin pupils, which seemed to burn with flames, she sensed a resolve to face death without hesitation.
Yet, for some reason, she truly could not bring herself to kill the man before her.
Compared to corpses and undead creatures, living subjects clearly offered greater advantages for research.
"What a lunatic!"
Cecilia could only control the Bone Dragon and evade their pincer attack.
The Bone Dragon let out a long roar. Its enormous body was difficult to turn, so it could only raise its head and flee into the sky.
