Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Eltrauge, however, began to ponder other questions.

First of all, given that the other party is so strong and has a bad relationship with Vanfem on Baiyi Gong's side, is it possible for me to cooperate with them?

With this idea in mind, Eltrauge quickly began to think about how to approach the other party.

Finally, she recalled the jumbled information and remembered that although Umbrella Corporation did business in many areas, its main business seemed to be in the pharmaceutical field.

Moreover, the other party had sold several very powerful magical potions, and I had even bought one of them to suppress my injuries.

In this case...

So, it shouldn't be considered sudden for me to go there under the pretext of healing my injuries, right?

.....Place..

39. Surrender or Death

When Vanfem saw the black dragon, he felt that he had made a mistake in issuing the challenge. However, since many people were watching, Vanfem couldn't just turn around and run away. So he had no choice but to stay and release all seven of his demon cities to fight the black dragon.

It must be said that Vanfem does have something.

The stone giant he summoned earlier was just one type. Later, among the demonic cities he summoned were floating fortresses that flew in the sky, and alloy giants that were not made of stone but were created through industrial productivity.

It was also loaded with a considerable amount of modern weaponry.

It's even possible that the White Knight's attack on one of his cities with the ghost fleet had spurred him on, which is why there are still magical puppet troops in Vanfem's Demon Castle that can be released, though not as large as the Demon Castle itself.

Besides humanoid forms, there are also animal forms.

One of them was a Steel Bull puppet, which Roland found quite interesting.

It's fair to say that the seven great demon castles of Vanfem were all on display, giving one the feeling of attending a puppet exhibition, which certainly broadened one's horizons.

but

Roland's final assessment of it was that it was all flash and no substance.

Crimson dragon lightning descended from the sky, suppressing the seven demon cities, while the black dragon took a deep breath.

On the ground, one could see traces of dust being drawn towards the Black Dragon by the strong suction.

Then countless rays of light and heat converged into the black dragon's mouth, and for a moment the sky seemed to distort, and the whole world seemed to darken several degrees.

Roar--!

Accompanied by the roar of the black dragon, an incredibly bright white beam of light shot out from the dragon's mouth in this world that had darkened several degrees. This beam of light connected to the dragon's mouth, and the dragon seemed to be wielding a lightsaber, rhythmically shaking its head and body, like a wild cursive artist painting the world.

Then, after the white beam of light passed through Vanfem's puppets, whether they were made of stone or metal, they would be directly separated along the trajectory of the light.

Furthermore, after the beam of light passes by, the dissipated magic will remain on the trace of the light, causing it to explode and instantly cause extremely hot white flames to rise along with the trace!

The black dragon is painting, and the air becomes increasingly distorted as the temperature gradually rises.

Black Dragon only stopped his incredibly crazy behavior after the entire battlefield had turned into a most abstract oil painting.

In a world made of extreme heat, when Vanfem watched as all seven of his demonic cities were destroyed and burned to ashes, he knelt helplessly on the ground, staring blankly at the black dragon that landed in front of him and spread its wings toward the sky.

A feeling of despair, which he hadn't experienced in a long time, welled up in Vanfem's heart.

It is invincible!

The thought crossed Vanfem's mind, and then, as he wavered, the black dragon lowered its head, gazed at him with its burning golden eyes, and spoke.

"Surrender or die."

If someone had presented this hypothetical scenario to Vanfem before this battle, he would likely have said without hesitation that he would choose death!

It wasn't a lie; that's what he himself thought at the time.

But after truly witnessing the power of the black dragon and feeling the despairing heat, Vanfem slowly opened his mouth.

"I...surrender!"

Roar--!

As Vanfem gave his answer, the black dragon raised its head and roared at the sky.

With the black dragon's roar, the surrounding space distorted.

Once the spatial distortion was restored, the black dragon's enormous figure disappeared from the spot along with Vanfem.

The battle is over.

Not only did Vanfim lose, he was even taken away...

After watching the entire battle, the entire mystical world fell into a brief silence, and then... the Umbrella Corporation became famous!

Inside the Whitewing Duke's castle, countless Dead Apostles gathered.

Unlike the wandering Dead Apostles, those who came here all wore special white armor and a white cloak that covered half of their bodies.

In addition to their standardized armor, they also had standardized weapons.

And like Bai Yigong, each of them didn't develop any fancy abilities, but instead maximized their vampire abilities and systematically transformed them through training.

Such assassins are truly elite.

There are many such elite troops in the White Wing Duke's castle.

Lord Baiyi himself sat in the castle's main hall.

There is a long table in the hall, surrounded by twenty-six chairs. Most of the Death Ancestors usually hold meetings here.

In addition to these twenty-six chairs, there is a high platform directly behind the long table.

The stairs on the high platform face the long table.

Then, above the high platform, there is a throne surrounded by the platform.

Including this throne, there are only twenty-seven chairs.

This corresponds exactly to the twenty-seventh patriarch of the dead disciples.

Normally speaking, since a considerable number of the twenty-seven dead disciples would never be able to attend any meetings, and some are even already dead, twenty-six would be more than enough.

But the White Wing Duke Tevanm Ottenroche deliberately placed this supreme throne in the most conspicuous position, so that every Death Ancestor who came here for the meeting could see it.

Many Dead Apostles believe that this throne was prepared for them by Tefum.

But even though there was no meeting, Tevanm was still sitting around the long table, not sitting on the throne, but looking up at the empty seat below.

The empty throne symbolizes Tevan's status as the uncrowned king.

Moreover, those who truly know him know that, to this day, Tefal has not shown any intention of sitting on that throne.

The king is not among us.

This is the phrase that Bai Yigong often says.

However, he did not deny that the throne was prepared for the king.

So gradually, both the Dead Apostles and the Dead Ancestors came to know that in the castle of Whitewing Duke Tevanm, there was a throne that no one sat on; it represented the king, and also the king's non-existence.

However, it was Tevanm, who held this idea, who was constantly arguing and fighting with Altrucci, the nominal King of the Dead Apostles.

No one knows what he was really thinking.

Some even speculate that Tefum might simply dislike Eltrucci.

But anyway...

"Tevanm, Eltrauge has gone to the Far East to find the Umbrella Corporation..."

In the darkness, Nerochaos, the tenth of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, spoke.

However, White Wing Duke Tevan simply nodded upon hearing this, remaining unmoved.

Seeing him like this, Nero Chaos spoke again.

"Aren't you worried at all? You know, that black dragon defeated Fan very easily. That kind of strength is enough to warrant attention, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Nerochaos's words, Tevanm finally turned his gaze away from the empty throne and shook his head slightly.

"You should know better than me that although a strong individual quality can bring many benefits, what can truly determine the course of a war is a greater quantity with higher quality."

"That black dragon is indeed very strong, but the White Knight, the Black Knight, the White Beast... even the injured Altruchi, aren't they all strong?"

"But when all the quality is concentrated on an individual, although it may seem invincible and without weaknesses, it is actually more vulnerable to being targeted—and once it is targeted and something goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow."

Tevanmu always had a faint smile on his face, whether it was when he saw Vanfem's defeat or now when he heard the news about Eltrucci.

“My confidence has never come from any powerful individual, so when I speak, I always say – we are strong.”

"Yes, not me, but us, the most elite, the strongest, and the most numerous among the Dead Apostles!"

“If Eltruchi can’t understand this, then she’s just a little girl.”

"I saw this through when Lord Zhu Yue failed. Even someone as strong as Lord Zhu Yue failed because he was defeated... So don't rush. As long as we make our moves slowly, look for and even create opportunities, the odds of victory will ultimately be on our side."

Tefum never believed that Eltrucci could truly defeat him.

After all, his elite Dead Apostle army already possessed more than 80% of the overall combat strength of the Dead Apostles.

Even if less than 20% of the remaining amount were picked up by Eltrucci, they would only be some of the leftovers or extremely rare elites, which would not pose any threat at all.

So if Altrouge wants to recruit outside help, then let her do it.
