Mirabella hovered high above the battlefield, her eyes locked onto the massive creature thrashing against its bonds. The heat radiating from the beast distorted the air, but her system interface cut through the haze with clinical precision.Mirabella stared at the group below, then at the dragon:

’This dragon is a lot weaker than that Skeleton... Well, it’s a Boss monster after all, not some world Boss,’ she thought, staring at the dragon. A World Boss warped the very fabric of the dungeon around its existence, whereas a standard Realm Boss was merely the apex predator of its specific territory. Still, a Level 200 Dragon was a walking natural disaster.
"But still, why is it sitting in front of that cave... With its strength, one flap of its wings will take it into the sky... Unless, it’s protecting something inside." She muttered, moving her gaze to the lady, yelling orders. The beast was deliberately anchoring itself to the ground, taking immense damage just to shield the dark maw of the cavern behind it.
"Oh wow. Isn’t that Zaphyra, the Guild leader of the strongest eagle guild in the eagle empire... Is she here for the dragon or whatever is inside?" Mirabella moved her gaze on the chains.
"Those chains are infused with Darkness runes and magic... It seems they came prepared." She moved her gaze on the Black armour they were putting on. The heavy iron links pulsed with a sickly, purple-black light that actively sapped the dragon’s fiery aura, exploiting its one elemental weakness perfectly.
"Oh, they are all members of the eagle guild. Eagle empire academy students wore Red uniforms, which are far better... Forget all that." She shook her head, dismissing the geopolitical hierarchy of the rival nation. The gritty, soot-stained armor of the guild members lacked the pristine elegance of academy elites, but it was forged for bloody, practical dungeon work.
"Cupcake, should we take that kill from them, or see what’s inside the cave?" She asked, rubbing Cupcake’s neck. The thick fur of her winged tiger familiar was warm against her palm.
"Both." The cat tiger with a smirk, her feline instincts sensing her master’s inherent greed.
"Um... You can do that right?" Cupcake asked again, looking up at her, knowing full well that Mirabella possessed the overwhelming power to wipe the entire field clean.
"Well, I don’t know... I don’t want anything that will result to war right now... Besides, this isn’t the lawless Dungeon Lord Hayatobi talked about. Even though the Dragon empire is stronger than the eagle empire, I don’t want to be the cause of a war." She said. The delicate political balance between the Dragon, Eagle, and Sword Empires was a powder keg. Slaughtering the Emperor’s sister for a boss drop might just be the spark that ignited it.
Cupcake nodded her head: "What about we sneak behind?"
Mirabella chuckled and playfully knocked Cupcake’s head: "You’re becoming sneaky... Fine, let’s go around."
Using the chaotic din of the battle as cover, Cupcake flew around the hill, keeping low to the terrain, and landed behind it. The backside of the cavernous rock formation was quiet, shadowed from the raging fire spells illuminating the front. Mirabella looked around, and jumped down, she walked towards the wall, and placed her palm on it, feeling the surface. The stone vibrated slightly with the distant roars of the dragon.
’It seems Zephyra also thought about this.’ She thought, lowering her hand, already sensing the people heading towards her location. An elite guild wouldn’t leave the backdoor to a boss lair unguarded.
"Hey!! What are you doing here?!!" An armored man yelled, pointing his broadsword at her. The two women beside him also frowned, gripping their weapons. They wore the same black, rune-etched armor as the vanguard, though theirs looked far less battered.
Mirabella looked over her shoulder at them: ’These guys are galaxy fall citizens... If they are from Earth, they would surely recognize me. Well, I kind of left a little reputation in the lower server.’ She thought, turning fully around to face them. The divide between native inhabitants of the Galaxy Fall universe and the Earth transmigrators was vast; the latter group knew well enough to fear the name ’Spectral’.
"You are a human, why are you here?" The lady on the right asked, staring at Mirabella with deep suspicion.
"Forget that!! Get out of our way!! I am sure you saw what’s happening opposite this hill, that’s why you came here! To steal the loot, right?!!" The Knight yelled, his face filled with rage. In the cutthroat reality of dungeon diving, scavengers and kill-stealers were executed on sight.
’I can’t reason with these people, and I can’t leave without knowing what is inside this place. If it’s something powerful, I need it...’ She looked over her shoulder at the wall, then at the three. The calculation in her mind was entirely devoid of empathy, driven purely by the system’s logic of risk and reward.
’It seems I will just have to kill these three.’ She thought.
"Did you hear me?! Get lost!!" The man yelled, and turned his head to the Tiger, who sat some distance away, licking her paw with absolute nonchalance.
’To have a Lv155 beast under her command, she must be powerful... We three are just Lv150... If she fights us with the beast, we will surely lose. So we can only scare her away.’ He nodded his head, his tactical assessment prompting him to use the heaviest political shield he had, and yelled:
"If you don’t leave this place, we will call our Leader!! She is Lady Zaphyra, the guild leader of the eagle guild, and also the younger sister of the emperor!! You don’t want to go against her!!" He yelled, staring at Mirabella lost expression. He mistook her profound boredom for fear.
’Yes, that must have scared her...’ He moved his gaze on her body, rapidly analyzing her lack of insignia.
’She isn’t wearing anything related to any empire, and I am sure she isn’t from our empire... So she is a student of either the sword academy or dragon academy. Going further, she might be a member of a guild.’ She thought.
While he was thinking of a way, out and Mirabella’s identity, Mirabella was getting irritated. The sheer arrogance of assuming a mere name would stop a God-tier anomaly was grating on her nerves. ’I know she is the sister of the emperor, that’s why I came back here... Do you think if I want to, I can’t kill all of you there, kill the Dragon and get what I want?!’
She sighed, a sound of absolute, weary finality: "Just get rid of them."
Hearing her words, the three instantly got on guard, the Knight brought his shield forward, facing Mirabella, his gaze cold and prepared for a brutal, drawn-out skirmish.
"We will have to stop you---"
BAM!!!
The air fractured. A phantom punch from an invisible, Lv500 Celestial Guardian smashed into his face with the force of a falling meteor, instantly shattering his head into blood and paste, freezing the two ladies behind the man in absolute, paralyzed horror. The fight was over before they even realized it had begun.
