Crossing the azure as a black dragon

"Yes, Shinano said that the planned ship is the most complete ship design to date. Although you and she appeared in the world earlier, the planned ship is still superior in terms of power output stability."

Nagato said very seriously.

"Oh, this."

Upon hearing this, Black Flying Dragon's fingers twitched slightly. How much of Shinano's statement was true?

If it's the truth, that's fine, but if it's a lie, should I cooperate?

Seeing that Black Dragon was deep in thought, Nagato decided to talk to Mikasa again. However, before she could act, Mikasa came over with four planned ships.

"Mikasa-sama."

Nagato stepped forward.

“I know what you’re going to say.” Mikasa gestured to stop Nagato from speaking, then glanced at Black Dragon: “The number of opponents will not change, but it is indeed a bit too much to make you face four people at the same time. After discussion, we have decided to adopt special battle rules.”

"What rules?"

Black Flying Dragon humbly sought advice.

"In this duel, our side will be led by Izumo. If you can break through our defenses and defeat Izumo, then you will be victorious."

My wife stepped forward and explained softly.

"Hmm, what do you think?"

Mikasa nodded in agreement.

Black Flying Dragon frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly relaxed and replied, "I have no objection."

Shinano's words carried a certain truth; since the other side had made concessions, it was only right for him to be cautious.

"Well, it's getting late, let's get started."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mikasa made a decision, taking Nagato a few steps back to make room.

"Please give me more advice."

Black Flying Dragon smiled at Azuma and the other three.

"This is the right place. Please give me your guidance."

Izumo nodded to the black dragon.

Izumo was a little taller than Black Flying Dragon. Her long purple hair was tied into a single ponytail and fell behind her. She had a pair of milky white horns on either side of her forehead, which made her look very imposing with her Izumo samurai-like attire. However, these horns would definitely cause more trouble in daily life than rabbit ears.

Furthermore, perhaps because they had just been practicing in battle, Izumo was now exuding an astonishing aura.

Black Dragon prefers to call it fighting spirit.

"Please...do your best."

Beside Izumo was Ibuki, a cute girl with long blue hair and heterochromatic eyes, who spoke in a soft voice.

"Ah."

Black Dragon revealed a kind smile.

My wife stood quietly to the side, watching the black dragon, while North Wind turned his gaze away unhappily.

After exchanging greetings, the five moved from the platform to the sea. The exercise area, which was not particularly lively to begin with, attracted a large number of spectators because of their gathering. The ship girls who were practicing also tactfully gave up the space.

Soon, Black Flying Dragon arrived at the designated location, and Azuma and the others followed suit. Of the four, Azuma stood at the very front.

Next comes the north wind, followed by Ibuki and Izumo. The black dragon is three nautical miles away from Azuma, while Izumo is further away, probably between six and seven nautical miles.

It's not that they couldn't go any further, but rather that everyone present was very confident in themselves, especially Black Flying Dragon.

After both sides arrived at their positions, they did not take any action, but instead adjusted their own state and waited for the start.

boom!

Suddenly, a cannon fired from the platform, signaling the start of the battle.

In an instant, Black Dragon heard multiple cannon shots. There were only four people on the other side, but the shells they fired were so dense that they could cover hundreds of meters. Judging from the ship girl's equipment, this was an anomaly.

"Is that a mimicry projectile?"

On the platform, Nagato and Mikasa stood side by side, gazing into the distance, their voices filled with surprise.

A single main gun still produces only one shell, but at the moment of firing, more shells are generated out of thin air and fired in the direction of the aiming. From this point of view alone, the planned ship already possesses the potential to surpass the Sirens Destroyer.

“It’s very difficult for us to reach this point, but for them, it’s just a matter of being born. The younger generation is getting more and more amazing, and as a senior, I feel a lot of pressure.”

As she spoke, Mikasa flashed a bright smile.

"Hmm."

Nagato remained silent, his gaze fixed on the black dragon.

The 'coverage' bombardment was blocked by an invisible wall before it could even get within half a meter of the Black Dragon. After the roar, smoke obscured the Black Dragon's form.

The fact that a person widely recognized as the strongest besides Shinano disappeared from sight caused even the spectators to tense up.

In the smoke, Black Dragon silently pulled open his collar, revealing a blue gem on his necklace that was emitting a mesmerizing glow.

She'd forgotten about it since it wasn't useful in the fog last time.

"Luckily, no one noticed."

Under the cover of smoke, Black Dragon removed the necklace and released three fighter jets.

The circling plane disrupted the airflow, instantly tearing through the smoke, revealing the unharmed Black Flying Dragon before everyone.

Izumo, standing at the furthest distance, narrowed her eyes slightly. Her original design was based on the Yamato-class battleship, but after modifications by Amagi, it incorporated the latest research findings from the Northern Alliance. Its firing range and power surpassed all battleships of the old and new eras, coupled with high-energy-concentration mimic shells.

The person who woke her up said that no one could stop her bombardment at present.

Thinking of this, Izumo's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

In the sky, three fighter jets were still taking off when a sudden gust of wind swept through, cutting the fighter jets into several pieces like tofu, causing them to explode. The wreckage fell vertically onto the sea beside the Black Dragon, splashing up a large amount of water.

Black Flying Dragon looked up and saw Ibuki slowly sheathing her sword. As if noticing Black Flying Dragon's gaze, Ibuki gave a shy smile.

If an aircraft carrier's planes are locked out, what's left?

His gaze swept over the rapidly approaching figure. Black Flying Dragon gripped the cherry blossom sword in his right hand, hesitated for a moment, then drew the long sword beside him and slashed horizontally.

Clang!

The clash of the two knives produced a piercing sound.

Black Flying Dragon felt as if his right hand had been hit head-on by a dump truck, and his whole body was 'knocked' away, his feet leaving two thin splashes on the water's surface.

"hiss."

The black dragon, which had stopped, quickly adjusted its posture and looked at the north wind rushing towards it again.

The north wind was too fast. As soon as the black dragon stopped, she rushed in front of it. This time, she jumped up and swung her sword vertically at the black dragon with both hands.

"There are just too many flaws."

Black Flying Dragon couldn't help but complain, and his body suddenly shifted to the left, his long sword colliding with North Wind's blade from below.

The piercing sound rang out again, but this time it was the North Wind that flew backward, like a baseball ball. The North Wind was directly blown away by the impact, but it adjusted itself in the air and landed steadily on the sea.

Seeing the North Wind take a defensive stance after landing, Black Flying Dragon gradually became serious as well.

Chapter Sixty-Four: An Evenly Matched Battle

Waiting for Beifeng to adjust his posture, Heifeilong suddenly accelerated and arrived in front of Beifeng. He slashed down with his long sword in his right hand. Beifeng reacted quickly, gripping his sword with both hands to meet the attack. The blades clashed again, but this time it produced a sound like an explosion. The sound waves spread out, and the seawater around them seemed to be hit by a huge force, splashing in all directions.

"you…"

Feeling the vibration from the blade, Beifeng stared intently at Heifeilong, while the torpedoes beside him launched themselves and crashed into Heifeilong.

The two men were very close; if the torpedo exploded, both would suffer different injuries.

Black Dragon reacted very quickly, releasing the pressure the instant the torpedo was launched. In the instant he turned to the side, his blade circled halfway in the air, slicing the torpedo in two. The torpedo that was not triggered failed to explode, and North Wind seized the opportunity to deliver a horizontal slash to Black Dragon.

Clang!

The blade was blocked by the massive black deck, and the immense force caused the blade to tear through the Black Dragon's ship rigging, creating a smooth gash nearly twenty centimeters deep. In the next instant, a tremendous force caused the blade to begin spinning. Without hesitation, Beifeng released the hilt and jumped a distance, drawing his spare knife from his side with his right hand.

Black Flying Dragon, not far away, looked at her deck with some fear. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, that attack would have probably cut her ship's equipment in half.

This level of attack power is enough to cut through most defensive armor; if it were to be ambushed, even the Annihilator would probably not be able to withstand it.

"Excellent technique."

Black Flying Dragon drew North Wind's discarded sword with his left hand and gave a word of praise.

"Can't you do that too?"

North Wind watched Black Flying Dragon warily.

"It's just a poor imitation."

Black Flying Dragon raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glancing at Azuma and the other two in the distance. They didn't seem to have any intention of making a move.

It seems that not only does he want to test the other party's strength, but the other party is also very interested in his strength.

"You rascal, aren't you going to get serious?"

The north wind gave a disgruntled snort.

She practiced her skills for so long, only to have them stolen in a single glance.

Black Flying Dragon smiled upon hearing this, reached out and tossed North Wind's knife over, saying at the same time, "You can go back now, it's my turn to attack."

You'll regret this.

Beifeng took the knife, muttered something, and ran towards Wufu.

"Ha, this is really troublesome."

Looking in the direction of the north wind, Black Flying Dragon saw that Azuma and the others had already assumed a fighting stance.

She didn't like internal drills. She already suppressed some of her power during normal combat, and having to suppress it again during drills made her feel timid and uncomfortable.

"Speaking of which, is the North Wind perhaps trying to take care of...Kaohsiung?"
