Chapter 253: Dragon Roar

"That suddenly makes a lot of sense," Aeliana thought after listening to Astoria's point.

Nevertheless, Astoria suddenly turned to Vaan and asked, "What do you think, Sir Vahn?"

"I see your point, but it's quite unlikely," Vaan replied.

"The Great House of Caelestis is, after all, a powerful and famous household in the Scarlet Flame Kingdom with a long history dating back to even long before the founding of the seven witch kingdoms."

"If they wanted to cause damage to the Black Rose Kingdom, they would be more thorough in their actions to make sure no one could figure out their involvement," Vaan stated.

"I see. That is also a valid point," Astoria acknowledged with a nod before she asked him, "Do you think Fallen Witches did it then?"

"I am inclined to believe so, Headmaster Astoria," Vaan calmly replied before he added, "However, that is only based on what we have heard. There's no telling who is actually behind this attack."

"The more pressing issue is to resolve Misty Leaf Town's problem and figure out what the two witches are planning in the Thousand Fog Mountains. If Sir Riordan believed a single High Witch was only enough to help people flee the town and resolve its problem, there must be a bigger threat out there that hasn't been mentioned yet."

"Isn't that right, Sir Riordan?" Vaan glanced at the stubby-beard man who was an Aura Grandmaster.

However, the person didn't respond immediately.

It was in a state of shock with Bernadette and the other two witch survivors after they overheard Vaan and Astoria's conversation.

More precisely, they were shocked by Astoria's name.

Headmaster Astoria!

There was only one Headmaster Astoria in all of the seven witch kingdoms, the Battle Maiden of Holy Light!

Not only Lord Aeliana, but even Headmaster was here. They couldn't help but turn to Hester subconsciously, wondering which notable figure she was.

However, Hester waved her hand.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not someone famous like this these two. I doubt any of you have heard of the Witch of Black Iron," Hester stated self-deprecatingly.

Even so, the survivors were still shocked, nonetheless.

Just what kind of party have they come across? How did Lord Aeliana recover from her Abomination state? They didn't remember Headmaster Astoria being so free, either.

Furthermore, she was wearing black armor, which hadn't happened before.

They felt very behind on the news.

While the survivors continued to be in a state of shock, Aeliana's patience grew thin again before she snarled at the Aura Grandmaster for taking too long to respond.

"Answer Sir Vahn's question!" Aeliana barked.

"Y-Yes, Lord Aeliana!" Riordan quickly snapped out of it before admitting, "This gentleman was correct about a bigger threat."

"Although the two witches seemed to have left for the Thousand Fog Mountains, they left behind something very dangerous. The Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon, which was said to be invincible, is somewhere in the town's fog."

"You're telling me the space-attribute witch even managed to drag the Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon from the upper regions and put in a small town like Misty Leaf Town?" Aeliana frowned.

"Don't listen to him, Lord Aeliana," one of the other witch survivors spoke before she explained, "The truth is we don't know if the Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon is residing in town or not. No one here has seen it."

"There must be a reason why he suspected it at least, no?" Aeliana glanced at the Senior Witch in a red dress. "It shouldn't be a baseless claim."

"Well, that's because we heard a distinct dragon roar in the sky above the town," the Senior Witch stated.

Roar!

Shortly after, a distinct dragon roar was heard above the town.

Even though everyone was in the basement underground, they all heard the dragon roar as clear as day.

"That's the dragon roar I talked about, Lady Aeliana," the Senior Witch declared.

"A dragon roar, huh?" Vaan muttered with a thoughtful look.

He wondered if it was related to Eniwse.

Even if it turned out to be the real Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon that should only be encountered in the upper region, it was worth investigating.

"Shall we clear out the remaining Fog Beasts in town and look into the dragon's roar?" Vaan suggested.

"We have to help these people," Astoria nodded.

"If it is your wish," Aeliana replied.

"I did agree to help you on your journey, Sir Vahn. Thus, I'm fine with whatever decision you make," Hester spoke.

"Then, it's decided," Vaan nodded.

After receiving the ladies' approval, they thanked the survivors for their information and prepared to leave the building together.

A few moments later, Bernadette escorted them out and resealed the door. The survivors relaxed with a sigh after Vaan's party was gone.

"I hope they can eliminate all the Fog Beasts and remove the fog smothering the town," Riordan said with a hopeful look.

"Since Headmaster Astoria is here, I believe they have a good chance of succeeding," Bernadette said. "It's just the Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon that worries me. Even Headmaster Astoria might not be able to defeat it."

"That's if Thousand Fog Illusion Dragon is in town. It might be the only dragon we know, but it doesn't mean the dragon roar belongs to it," the red-dressed Senior Witch stated.

"Is no one going to say anything about Headmaster Astoria's black armor or Lord Aeliana's recovery?" the last survivor broke her silence before asking with doubt, "How can we be sure they are what they say they are?"

"Well, Lady Bridget," Riordan glanced at her and said, "A lot of crazy things have happened recently."

"No one would expect the Fallen Witches to be so bold as to massacre an entire town, nor would anyone believe they could summon the fog and bring Fog Beasts out of the Thousand Fog Mountains in the past."

"Thus, whether it's a black-armored Headmaster Astoria or Lord Aeliana's recovery, I would believe anything at this point. Heck, if you told me the earth was flat, I would also believe it," Riordan stated.
