In a flash of golden light, Alex materialized at the heart of the [Fox Tribe Village] like he always did.
He carried Alice in his arms, her unconscious body limp, her face pale from the effects of the [Soul Attack].
The teleportation drew little attention, as the fox girl villagers had grown accustomed to seeing him come and go.
To them, that human, though he wasn't truly from their tribe, was definitely one of their own.
But Alex's sharp eyes immediately caught sight of an unexpected figure in the village square.
Eleonora, the beige-scaled ice dragon they had encountered within the [Mystical Temple], stood towering over a group of fox children.
Her once-imposing aura seemed almost softened as she chatted amicably with Alera, the fox queen, and allowed the giggling children to tug playfully at her tail.
[Eleonora the Ice Dragon - Dragon Tribe Member - Level 400]
She was just as powerful as Alex remembered.
