Really wanted such a competent flying companion, but I guess this is okay.
It would have stood out too much anyways. And listening to it would become annoying at some point.
Priest sus and that device maybe it's device from previous chapter where he deployed multi layered barrier to stop the explosion spread and holy f it pierce da ground with perfect square.
Really huge dragon shows up that is pinned with cursed stakes under the machine. Gets freed and fights along MC against the machine and a sleeker, more destructive dragon. Chonker dragon is pretty benevolent. Doesn't look like he travels with the hero due to immense size, so will probably just pop up from time to time like Dryad. Meets an actual human party and teams up for a bit.
