Rise of the White Dragon

Maira, who had gone to the gym, saw the damage that had apparently happened and sighed. She called a remodeling company to fix it later in the evening.

"Mom, in the afternoon are we going out?" Catharina, beside her, asked with bright eyes, "It has been a while since I went out with my mother to shop, and we can also take Cristina to get to know the neighborhood better."

"Yes, it is not a bad idea. Let's go after lunch. But for that, we need to train in the morning." Maira agreed with the idea.

-Eight hours later…-

"Mom, wait a minute, I forgot my purse," Catharina said as she ran up the stairs.

"That girl..." Maira didn't mind waiting and smiled at Cristina beside her. "How was it? Are you doing well in training?"

"Yes, mom. I feel stronger and stronger," Cristina said with a smile full of joy. She was very happy to be able to go out with her mother and sister.

"I'm glad to hear this." Maira crouched down and kissed Cristina's small face and smiled. This made Cristina's face flush with happiness.

"I'm back. Ready to go?" Catharina returned with a red Valentino bag.

"Yes, get in the car." Maira closed the door when they left and went to the garage. Her car was a silver Mercedes. It wasn't her most expensive car, but it was the only one she had that was for more than two people.

Leaving the garage, taking the beach road, and heading towards the highway, Maira was traveling at almost 50 km / h.

"Mother, let's go to..." Catharina's eyes widened, and she shouted, "Mother, watch out!"

Cristina screamed, "A crack is opening!"

Maira saw it too, but was unable to avoid it in time, the dimensional gap opened right in front of the car. Even when she turned, trying to miss hitting it, it was too late.

*Whoosh!*

The car skidded as soon as it crossed the dimensional crack, and it slid. Now, Maira and her two daughters had found themselves in a desert. As the car kept moving, it was sinking into the sand, mainly it was forced to stop when the car pushed up against a small hill of sand.

"We ended up in a desert... And look, is there something coming our way?!" Cristina screamed in alarm. She, as the strongest of the three, felt compelled to protect the others.

Cristina got out of the car and saw a scorpion... No, it was actually a giant spider, almost two meters long!

"My God! Mom, I'm scared!" Catharina shivered when she saw that spider running towards them. It was very disgusting and scary. Only after did she notice that Cristina had courageously gotten out of the car and went towards the two-meter spider.

"Cristina, no!" Maira cried out in alarm. She opened the car door and got out as well.

"Mom, it's okay, let me protect you!" Cristina said with strong conviction. She jumped in the air, and spun, landing with the heel of her foot towards the head of the giant spider.

*Whoosh!*

The giant spider, seeing this, used its eight legs and jumped sideways, dodging her attack. Then the giant spider launched a web ball towards Cristina.

Maira threw her shoe in the direction of the launched web and managed to stop it in time. It also caused the giant spider to change its target and run instead towards Maira. Although feeling nervous, Maira would not let her daughter take the risk of her life and stay put. Maira saw the spider coming towards her and took off her other shoe to make it easier to move and ran towards the giant spider.

Catharina who was before trembling with fear, seeing this, was anxious. She also got out of the car after getting the extinguisher from under the seat. Although not very useful, it was better than nothing. She ran towards the giant spider, despite all her dread.

Cristina fell to the sandy floor, having missed the target of her kick. Getting up, she kicked off the ground, running towards the giant spider. "Don't intimidate my mother!" she screamed.

Very close, she kicked hard into a pile of sand and threw a lot of the sand in the direction of the spider's head, intending to mow it.

The moment the giant spider closed all its eyes, Maira and Catharina took up positions around the giant spider. While Maira punched the giant spider's head with all her strength, Catharina used the fire extinguisher to hit the front legs of the giant spider.

*Bang!*

"Geeeek!" The giant spider screamed strangely, in a horrifying way, and threw spits of green goo. Probably poison.

Maira and Catharina went white with fear and moved away. Cristina approached on the right side and jumped and punched the side of the spider. Cristina's fist, although small, had a half ton of force behind it!

*Boooom!*

The impact of Cristina's punch sent the giant spider flying in the air, being thrown from a few meters away.

"Go on, don't stop. She hasn't died yet!" Cristina shouted. She ran in the direction that the giant spider had fallen and jumped into the air. She made the same attempt as before, spinning, and going with her heel towards the back of the giant spider.

With the extinguisher leaking, and dented, Catharina also ran towards the giant spider, dodging the puddle of green goo. Maira ran as well, dodging the puddle of possible poison.

While the giant spider was down, Maira, Cristina, and Catharina attacked nonstop from all directions, hitting the giant spider.

"Okay, it stopped moving." Maira sat on the floor, feeling very tired.

"Finally...!" Catharina, who was exhausted not only physically but also mentally, fell on her back in the sand and was unwilling to get up for a while.

"I know they're tired, but I don't think it's a good idea to wait here. Let's get back to the car first." Cristina said. She was still standing, fully alert. She felt an obligation to protect her mother and sister. Of course, she knew that the victory against this giant spider was thanks to the teamwork of the three. If it were just her, Cristina would have become giant spider food at the time that she was unable to dodge the web.

"Yes, you are right. Another thing is the bloody smell of this giant spider. It is possible that it'll attract other beasts," said Maira, getting up.

"It would be nice if Luan were here..." Catharina knew that her brother was powerful. If he had been together with them, they wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Yes, even Ingrid would be nice, since she is about as strong as Luan," Maira said with a sigh.

"Mother, Big Sister, don't worry. I will protect you!" Cristina said with a strong fighting spirit.

"What are you talking about? Of course, we can't allow that. Despite being stronger than the two of us, I still won't let you fight alone." Maira said, seriously.

"Yes, little sister, you can trust us," Catharina said, "Although we are not powerful, we are still not common. As long as we work as a team, we can leave here alive."

"Yes." Cristina felt touched, but she still planned to do her best to protect Maira and Catharina.

Inside the car, the three sat down while resting.

"It is not a good idea to drive the car, as the noise of the engine will draw unwanted attention. But we can pull the car; there are ropes inside the trunk, and it would be useful to have the car if necessary," Maira said.

"Yes, pulling the car will not be difficult for us. And if we find something of value, we can put it in the trunk." Catharina remembered that Luan said that in these places there are almost always things of value. And even the remains of mutated beasts had a high value.

"I am quite strong. If you want, you can stay in the car while I pull with the rope," Cristina suggested.

"We cannot accept that either. If we do, we will take turns," Maira said. She couldn't just let her daughter do the legwork, she also couldn't suggest doing it alone, since she knew she wasn't that strong, but if they did things in turns, it wouldn't end up being that difficult.

"Okay, but then mom and Big Sister can do this together, and I can do it alone. I understand why we must work together, but for now, I am the one with more strength. It would be more feasible for me to make more effort since it takes me longer to get tired," said Cristina.

"Okay, but don't try too hard. When you feel tired, mom and I will do it," Catharina relented. She saw that no matter what they said, Cristina would insist on working harder. She realized that Cristina felt compelled to protect them.
