[hr]

Catherine let out a smirk as she noticed the dragon's surprised reaction as it breathed the gas. Truly, dragons were very similar to some nobles. So arrogant and proud that they thought of themselves as gods... Which only made it easier to strike them down. Surprisingly enough though, even though it was clear that the poison was working, it only made the dragon woozy, despite how concentrated it was, something which did made even Catherine a bit surprised.

[color=ed1c24]"Hm... I may have underestimated a dragon's physiology... Interesting..."[/color] she said to herself, looking to the surprised dragon almost as if she was watching a test subject.

[color=ed1c24]"Producing a more concentrated mixture, without making it lethal will take some rather difficult to find materials... Although, if everything goes right, resources won't be a problem after this mission and I'll have enough funds to make some [i]very[/i] interesting [i]toys[/i]..."[/color] she said with a chuckle.

Still curiously studying the dragon's reaction, it was only after he spoke that Catherine noticed the newcomer. The strange adventurer seemed to have appeared out of thin air and offered to be the one to pay the 'toll' in place of the group. Although it seemed to be already too late. Not only because the dragon would certainly be offended by Catherine's sleeping gas, but because of what Fei was about to do.

[color=ed1c24]"If I were you, I would wait for the sleeping gas to..."[/color] Catherine began to say, trying to warn Fei about the gas, before he could rush towards the dragon. Unfortunately, she was already too late, as when she began saying that, Fei had already started rushing towards the dragon, jumping over it and smashing it to the ground with a mighty attack, having enough force to crack the ground underneath the dragon.

[color=ed1c24]"Dissipate before going in..."[/color] Catherine finished her sentence only after Fei completed his attack, sighing.

[color=ed1c24]"I mean, at least this will serve as an experiment. It's the first time someone who drank an concentrated energy tonic gets exposed to a [i]very[/i] concentrated sleeping gas. It's a lot of stress to someone's body. After all, both mixtures were extremely concentrated... Since he's a martial artist, I doubt anything bad will happen, but I wonder for how long the tonic will keep him awake...[/color]" Catherine said, shrugging before she turned her attention to her newest 'test subject'.

[color=ed1c24]"Fine... I wont just keep watching... If he falls unconscious before the dragon is dealt with I'll go get him..."[/color] Catherine said, already foreseeing the protests that would come from the rest of the party should she only keep watching.

[color=ed1c24]"If you guys want to avoid an impromptu slumber party, I would avoid inhaling the gas. Unlike Fei who drank the tonic, you guys will definitely fall unconscious within seconds of being exposed to it."[/color] she warned the rest of the party, before she grabbed one more vial and threw towards the dragon, who was still a bit stunned thanks to Fei's attack.

The moment the vial shattered on top of the dragon, the unstable mixture inside it heated up and exploded with enough force to send a shockwave to even Anki and Srikandi, who weren't as close from the dragon as Fei and Catherine were.
