In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

Seeing the dozens of dragon bodies lying there on the ground, lifeless, Luna and Camila decided to keep searching, on top of the shadow eagle.

"I don't think it's in the Godria tree... The most sensible thing, in my opinion, is that it's outside," said Camila.

From the traces of explosions and seeing no sign of Theos, she couldn't come to a clearer conclusion than being outside the Godria.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking...", Luna muttered, squinting her eyes.

She could only pray that Theos wasn't too far away, because if not, it would be quite an hours-long search. And there was even the possibility that he might be injured, so getting there as quickly as possible was a priority for her.

With a command, the shadow eagle moved away from the Godria tree. They had gotten everything they needed there, so they walked away without any regrets; if anything, there was a slight joy in getting even more of it than they had wanted.

Yes, that wonderful sword, its power being a gift from the gods. Unfortunately for Luna, this sword now belonged to Camilla.

Although she felt no unwillingness to this arrangement, she knew very well that Camila was the main star of the fight against the old man. Wouldn't that sword be the reward she deserved for helping her so much?

However, there were many questions. The weapon's rank, its abilities, its origin, and so on.

'Anyway, don't think about that anymore, it's not important right now,' Luna thought, shaking her head slightly.

The two continued looking for Theos.

...

"Ah... Ah...", elsewhere, a man leaned against a tree, his severe wounds quite visible.

His tired eyes kept closing and opening, trying not to fall asleep now.

"Those dragons sure gave a lot of trouble, huh?" the man muttered to himself.

The black-haired man with severe wounds is, of course, Theos, who miraculously escaped from dozens of dragons chasing him.

Under the shadows of a large tree, he lay there, resting from his fatigue.

Pulling an object from the storage ring, he pulled out a vial with a pure green liquid, a healing potion.

Drinking the potion in one gulp, Theos waited patiently for the effects, which didn't take long to appear when the potion was a rank A.

"Ah... This is satisfying," sighed Theos, feeling his whole body recovering.

After a few minutes, most of the bruises, cuts, and burns had healed almost completely, leaving only a few small scars that would heal as the hours passed.

Pulling out his phone, Theos saw his reflection, smiling. "Wow, got my beautiful face back again," he chuckled.

He quickly put the cell phone away and... It just sat there.

After all, despite healing his wounds, it wouldn't be the same as his mental exhaustion. He had faced life and death more than once in just a few minutes.

Who wouldn't feel exhausted? Theos, of course, surely would.

However, the worry of whether Luna would be okay, and that Camila, despite not knowing each other very well, didn't want her to die just like that either... At least, not now.

"Damn," Theos could only curse and let out a deep sigh.

He got up from the ground, no longer leaning on the big tree, he now had only two options: Return to the Godria and look for the girls or search from outside for the girls.

Because of the greatness of the forest, it is, without a doubt, a very complicated mission.

However, he decided to search the surrounding area first. After all, he reckoned he had given them enough time for them to go grab the potion and leave.

'Possibly they're looking for me now,' he thought.

After all, if they had already found the potion and were about to return, they would have noticed that he was gone, so they went looking for him.

Thinking about this, he decided to first look around, if he didn't find them in a few minutes, he would go straight to the Godria to look for them.

With this decision made, Theos released a bit of his path, thus creating wings of darkness. After propelling himself, he flapped his wings to fly at an optimal distance to see the whole earth and also to see the clouds.

Thus, he continued to fly for a long time, seeing the landscape and the trees, all the time looking at the surroundings. He even activated some of his abilities to widen the field of vision of his eyes.

A few minutes passed like that, in an intense search.

'Should I go back to the Godria Tree and look for them there,' Theos thought, beginning to doubt.

But just as he thought about this, he felt a very familiar kind of Mana... Raising his head, Theos saw a large bird, or rather, a large, totally dark eagle, made of pure shadows.

"Shadow mana...", muttered Theos, unconsciously smiling with joy.

Who is the only person with Shadow Mana you know? Of course... Luna.

"Theos!", the eagle hadn't gotten close enough when Luna had already screamed, her joy and happiness conveyed in her voice.

She didn't wait long and jumped up, clinging to Theos like a koala bear.

"Hey, I notice you're very happy," Theos said, chuckling.

Staring at Theo's, Luna smiled happily. "You know what, we found the potion! We didn't have to face a pretty powerful guy, though," Luna explained quickly, eager to tell about the success of the mission to Theos.

He couldn't help but smile, feeling happy for Luna's happiness. "Well, that's very good news...", after looking around, he continued. "It's better to continue the conversation in a more comfortable and safer place, for now, we'd better get out of here," Theos said.

Hearing Theos' words, Luna shook her head in confusion. "Indeed, it's better to leave, but... How?"

"We can easily leave," another voice interrupted the two's conversation.

From the eagle in the shadows, Camilla looked at them indifferently. She continued. "We can leave, I can let my father know that we have already gotten everything we needed," she stated.

Luna turned her attention to her, hearing her statement, she couldn't help but smile. "If it's true, you are the Dragon Princess, that little detail had slipped my mind," Luna said.

Camila rolled her eyes, but still turned her attention to Theos. There was no indifference on her face or coldness when she previously faced him, instead, she looked at him with respect and... A small smile?

"You are someone amazing; you were able to survive a Supreme Rank Dragon; very few in the world can say such a thing," she commented, her gaze conveying the admiration she felt at the moment.

However, Theos shook his head. "I was a bit lucky; my skills, in a way, are a great weakness for him, so despite not winning, I was able to survive and run away from a large army of dragons."

Without realizing it, his words contained a little disappointment and frustration of losing, his first defeat. Although these feelings were subtle, Camila could pick them up immediately.

'He survived against a Supreme Dragon, and yet he still doesn't feel satisfied; on the contrary, he wanted to kill him. Maybe his greed and ambition are too high, however, it is undoubtedly a great mentality,' Camila thought, congratulating Theos inwardly.

She wanted to continue the conversation, but Theos had already said he wanted to continue the conversation with Luna somewhere else.

And speaking of Luna... 'She is just a little short of pulling out a dagger and plunging it into my throat or heart.' Camila thought, noticing the very unfriendly look Luna was giving her.

But for now, she ignored that look. Closing her eyes, she quickly accumulated a large amount of Mana, strangely, she gathered them right in the center of her forehead.

There, a dragon mark lit up. The light of the mark was so intense that it illuminated a large part of the surroundings, being a bit dangerous because they could attract attention, but still, she continued with the process.

It didn't take long, about ten seconds in that state, when a small crack formed in reality a few meters away from them.

The crack grew larger and larger until it became a large hole 10 meters in diameter.

When the hole finally finished widening, the mark on Camila's forehead disappeared and she was able to calmly open her eyes.

"That's a portal; it will send us to the academy directly, specifically, in the third-year custom training room," she explained.

Theos and Luna nodded. This time, curious about the portal creation and suspicious, he asked. "Can you create these portals? I thought you could only do it with objects."

To this question, Camila could only shake her head, a slightly amused smile adorning her face, "No, I cast a spell typical of the dragon race to contact parents and blood siblings. I notified my father that we already got everything we wanted and asked him to make a specific portal at these coordinates, whereas you can see, he did just that," she explained.

Remembering this ability of the dragon race in the book, Theos nodded, finding the explanation quite logical.

So, with the three of them, with nothing more to say, they entered the portal.
