Light Dragon Yalavaska.
A mighty being who was one of the '7 major calamities' that appeared throughout the middle to last part of?
Legend of Heroes 2.
'Its other nickname is PC Killer.
'The seven major calamities weren't called calamities for no reason.
Each major calamity caused enormous damage to Pleiades, the stage of?
Legend of Heroes, and among them was Yalavaska who was a famous calamity that killed a lot of PC (playable character).
'If you went the Red Wind route, it would be Kirara, and if you went the Kirara route, it would be Red Wind.
'And if one was playing a playable character who was not from the wild lands, there was a high probability that it would be both Red Wind and Kirara.
Yalavaska was notorious among the 7 major calamities because aside from the two, other playable characters would also die depending on one's progress.
'A lot clearly died, but…'In the game, Yalavaska's origin was not fully revealed.
Except that it was just a dragon with an ice attribute who came down from the north one day.
"But it was actually created here?
"The legacy of Magellan, the magic kingdom.
The false ruler of spirits – the Snow Queen, and its guardian merged into one, giving birth to Yalavaska.
"We have to defeat it before it grows.
"Before the ruler of spirits and its guardian merged and became the light dragon.
Before it was reborn as one of the 7 major calamities.
"We'll save Red Wind.
"Just as they saved Lucas by defeating the low-ranking demonic human, Minos, of the Devil's Hand, they were now in a position to save Red Wind by stopping one of the 7 major calamities.
Being particularly fond of Red Wind, Cordelia spoke as she revealed her canines, and Jude nodded his head.
'The consequences are great if we can stop it here.
'The problem wasn't just the playable characters.
The existence of Yalavaska would alter the events in the world itself.
'The events in the Argon Empire would be lessened.
'The Argon Empire had a hostile relationship to the S?
len Kingdom, but it was still a human country like theirs.
If Light Dragon Yalavaska disappeared and the western part of the empire remained intact, the future catastrophe and its aftermath would also be different.
"For a perfect happy ending.
"In a low voice, Jude chanted that like a spell before he turned to Cordelia.
Wearing a white combat suit with a design similar to what Melissa had worn, Cordelia breathed in and out and then clenched and opened her fists.
Looking at her flushed face, she seemed to be quite nervous.
"Nervous?
""I am nervous.
It's Yalavaska.
"Yalavaska was not one of the 7 major calamities for no reason.
In the game, an entire army was even mobilized to defeat Yalavaska.
"Considering its specs, it's possible to do it.
"It wasn't Yalavaska yet.
Considering the guardian's specs, it wasn't at a level that they couldn't defeat.
"But Jude.
""Yes?
""I think you've become taller?
"Cordelia said as she looked up at Jude who was wearing a similar white combat suit just like herself.
He was clearly in the mid-170's during the past few weeks, but he was now in the latter half.
Cordelia was clearly a bit taller than him back then, but that had been reversed and they now had a height difference of more than 10 cm.
"Oh, it's because I didn't really talk much about it, but my knees and calves had been greatly aching for some time.
"He grew more than 10 centimeters in two months.
"Does it still hurt?
""Yes.
"Perhaps he'll be in the mid-180's if he continued growing like this?
After Jude replied, Cordelia narrowed her eyes and studied him up and down as if evaluating him.
"Ahem, it's nice to look at.
"He didn't just grow tall as his body also got better.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the current Jude was like a Greek sculpture because his combat suit clearly revealed his physique.
"Ahem, ahem.
"She somehow unconsciously felt proud of it.
And at the time Jude had a similar thought as hers while staring at Cordelia…"But Jude.
""Yes.
""That…wouldn't you get bigger?
"Just like Landius.
"N-no way.
"Landius had said that it wouldn't be that much.
"Hmm…but if he grows up to 2 meters and 10 centimeters, or less than 2 meters and 30 centimeters…"Cordelia's words trailed off in the end, and she slightly raised her gaze and imagined a 2-meters-tall Jude.
"That might be a little disgusting…"She spoke in a low voice as if she was talking to herself, but there was no way Jude couldn't hear it because he was right next to her.
Jude flinched, and for the first time in his life, he wished that he wouldn't grow any taller.
'I never thought I'd make such a wish.
'Wouldn't that wish be almost hard to fulfill since it's complicated and difficult?
In any case, Jude's trivial and serious concerns allowed both of them to be less tense.
"Anyway, shall we go?
""I'll stand in the front line, so I'll leave the rear to you, Madam.
""Oh, are you standing in the front line now?
""How can I let Madam be on the front line?
"Jude spoke in a theatrical fashion before he pushed a button to open the elevator door.
A spacious and tranquil place.
The Snow Queen's core was in the center, and a guardian was guarding in front of it.
"Dragon attribute, holy attribute.
""It constantly receives power from the field.
Virtually infinite MP.
""Breath weapon.
The jewel on its forehead glows prior to using it.
""Can use Dragon Fear.
""It uses two Living Swords and two Living Shields as auxiliary weapons.
"This was the guardian's information that Melissa gave them.
", .
"Double casting.
Cordelia cast spells on Jude and herself.
At the same time, Jude tore the scrolls.
", , .
"The three spells strengthened one's vision, spiritual power, and mental defense, respectively.
The assistive spells covered the bodies of the two, and at the same time, light rose from the magic tools they were wearing.
They got the magic tools from the Wild Fairy Queen and the new ones from Melissa.
"Witch Transformation.
"Cordelia's hair turned black.
The magic tools she wore on her entire body glowed red, and Cordelia's mana was amplified.
"I'll be the damage dealer.
"It would be difficult to gain an advantage over the guardian's nature, who possessed both dragon and holy attributes.
Therefore, they had to attack it with pure firepower.
Cordelia concentrated her mana on Moonlight and looked straight ahead.
And Jude stepped forward as he said.
"I'll be the tank.
"Jude himself became the anvil and Cordelia became the hammer.
The two left the elevator.
The crouched guardian then raised its head.
The blue eyes on its dragon-like face glowed, and a blue aura spread over its entire white body.
And one more.
The floor began to shine.
The power of the dragon vein started to rise from the bottom.
Jude took a deep breath.
He opened the power of the third door and created a golden whirlwind.
"I'll protect you.
"Jude said and Cordelia had a small smile instead of telling him off.
He then kicked the ground.
"Go.
"Bang!
Jude dashed at lightning speed.
The guardian quickly stood up and Jude's fist – the Black Cross, exploded on the guardian!
Boom!
Victory went to the one who made the first move.
When the black cross was destroyed in the collision with the guardian, Cordelia's eyes shone.
They needed to reduce the guardian's high magic defense first, so she repeatedly chanted the witch's curse.
