Less than two minutes later, three Bone Dragons arrived. The two smaller ones landed on nearby peaks and watched their surroundings warily. The largest circled overhead, roaring in fury loud enough to shake the land for a hundred miles.
Princess Mulesina was thoroughly frustrated. She had no idea who had snatched the Six-Winged Angel's corpse from under her nose. She had arrived one step too late—or rather, that damned Modi had kept too much of her attention tied up in Dortnald Town.
The ancient dragon in the air carried one of Princess Mulesina's Split Souls. That was the only reason its combat strength exceeded ten thousand and barely reached the threshold of Early Calamity Rank.

And though it looked like an elderly dragon, the Bone Dragon had not been made from a dragon's corpse. Using the Dragon Bone Transformation Technique, she had converted the bones of enormous beasts into Dragon Bones and pieced them together.
