A rank…!? Not A-… Though perhaps because their level is low, compared to Eldia, their stats aren’t very high.
They’re a fair bit stronger than an adam, and their skills are also substantial. But thanks to the difference in our toughness my information advantage, they’re within the limits of what I can manage in a one-on-one fight. I’m curious about the [Spirit] status condition though…
Next I shift my eyes to the two humans atop the white dragon, the seraphim. One of the women has pigmentless white hair and kind jade-green eyes.
Next to her is a short haired woman, wearing armour that glitters in the light. She might be around her late twenties. Her armour is white, and her slanted eyes are thinned slightly, giving an impression of tension. She glares at me warily.
The swordswoman seems to be the one that seems to bear more hostility for me. But my instincts are telling me that the white haired one is more dangerous. To be able to look at me with such little tension is creepy. It would be much more normal if she had braced herself at least as much as the other woman.
I look at the white haired woman. She looks back at me and gives a small nod of satisfaction.

Wh-what is this… Following on the Hero, she’s the second holder of a divine skill that I’ve seen. That much I can understand, but her status is all too bizarre. Her stats are clearly much higher than the Hero’s. For that matter, she could have completely shut him down without even using any skills.
I thought that dragon was their greatest fighting force, but it seems it’s just there as transport. It seems she just took all the skills she could get her hands on and tried to raise their level as much as she could. She also has [God’s Voice], and the skill level is maxed out. If we clash, I don’t have any information advantage. She’s dangerous. The way this is going… The last person… That swordswoman… Probably isn’t an ordinary person.

[Alphiss Atelite]
Species: Earth Huma
Condition: Normal
Lv: 58/75
HP: 352/352
MP: 217/217

I’m glad, Alphiss-san is an ordinary person. No, she’s one of the strongest humans I’ve seen so far, but I’m relieved she’s not monstrously strong like Lilixira. Accompanying the two approximately A ranks is someone who is approximately B rank.
But still, someone who has [Status Inspection]? Perhaps I should have been more cautious. When our eyes met earlier, she was probably checking my status.
While I’ve been focused on the white dragon and the two people on its back, Aro came up to right next to me. The treant and nightmare followed her. From my reaction, they must have realised that they’re no small matter.
Aro notices me looking at her and looks up anxiously. I haven’t got any basis, so I can’t thoughtlessly reassure her that it’ll be okay.
…Do we run? No, that white dragon is faster than me. In order to get away, I’d first have to deal that dragon a serious injury.
Also, looking at Lirixira, I don’t get the impression that it’ll immediately come to a fight. Though I could be being optimistic.
I don’t know if they’ve come here to talk with me, or to subjugate me. But making contact is necessary, whether it’s to talk, or to deal enough damage to escape. I wait in place.
Before long, the white dragon arrives at the giant tree and lands on a branch a short distance away. Then it raises its face to the sky and roars. In unison with it, Lilixira raises her staff.
“Holy Dragon, please rest awhile.”
The white dragon releases a burst of light, and its outline blurs as it vanishes as though dissolving into the air. The remaining motes of light sink into Lilixira’s body.
…The spirit status condition might be related to that. I imagine monsters with the spirit condition can be summoned whenever and however you want.
Lilixira and Alphiss stand on the branch. I brace myself to respond to whatever they do.
“Irushia-sama… Is your name I believe? I must admit I was taken aback at first, although I now see the name suits you well. At the very least, it suits you more than that mysterious person in the desert land. I heard rumours of you quite a while ago. Ever since, I have wanted to meet you.”
The Saint says, a soft smile contrasting her harsh words.
