As the battle between the five Hero Candidates and the dragon continued, Elaine quietly slipped into one of the half-destroyed buildings, taking a deep breath as she drank a magic potion to restore her reserves while keeping her presence hidden as much as possible.
She peered through a shattered window at the ongoing fight, observing the remnants of the town crumble under the force of their clashes.
"That dragon has to be at least Level 870. Considering its confidence in coming for them alone, it probably has skills and techniques that make it stronger than the average Level 870."
Elaine silently analysed the dragon while waiting for the potion's effects to kick in, then turned her attention to the Hero Candidates.
"Still, it's outmatched against them. They'd take it down if they coordinate properly, and it probably knows that, which is likely why it tried to use a Bounded Field."
