Crossing the azure as a black dragon

Hermione tightened her grip on Ke Wei's hand and whispered words of comfort.

"Maybe so. Maybe she's watching TV at home with Yuudachi right now."

Ke Wei revealed a slight smile.

She took Hood's place while waiting for the Black Dragon, but instead of seeing him, they were attacked by sea creatures. The attack was so sudden that they were caught off guard. If those creatures hadn't been unable to come ashore, they probably would have sunk to the bottom.

"Miss Fearless."

Hermione pursed her lips.

Even though so much time has passed, she still believes that the Black Dragon will come to this world, after all…

boom!

Suddenly, the entire mountain shook violently, as if it were the end of the world. Large rocks fell from the sky and crashed into the cave with a loud bang.

"Miss Formidable, watch out!"

Hermione deployed her ship rigging in an instant. The weight of the rigging held her firmly in place, unshaken by the shaking of the mountain. The sound of cannon fire rang out, and the boulders falling towards them exploded on the spot. Dust and debris mixed together and fell, extinguishing the last remaining flames, and darkness enveloped everything.

……

On the sea, the Black Flying Dragon was moving at high speed, its detection capabilities constantly updating data and reporting back everything that might exist nearby.

"It's not here either... wait, what's this?"

Black Dragon was processing the information that kept popping up in her mind. She habitually reached for her map to draw an X, but the sudden reaction of the ship girl made her stop.

"Two people? Were they alone?"

After estimating the distance, Black Dragon put away the map and began to speed up and approach. Finally, she found the person, and her heart was filled with excitement.

However, she wasn't the only one feeling excited. High in the distance, a colossal mechanical dragon, large enough to smash through a ten-story shopping mall, was approaching the Black Dragon. Each flap of its massive mechanical wings sent up a cloud of red stardust, which fell like beautiful fireworks.

A clear tear can be seen on its lower abdomen; however, the tear gradually shrinks and disappears as it moves.

Soon, a small black dot appeared in its sight on the sea surface. The dragon opened its mouth, and energy as thick as magma began to gather. After a few seconds of charging, a breath powerful enough to tear everything apart erupted out, raging along the black dragon's path.

"Is it really that interesting for you to keep following me around?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out from above the dragon's head, followed by a 'thud' as the mechanical dragon's head slammed down, its breath sweeping down like a sharp sword, obliterating everything in its path. Numerous colorful creatures leaped out from the attack.

The barrage of bullets rose from the sea surface, bombarding the dragon's belly, claws, and wings, creating a continuous explosion, just like in a movie.

Roar!

Faced with such a barrage of attacks, the dragon's already crimson eyes became even more vibrant, and its breath doubled in intensity, raging wildly across the sea. Any creature that dared to retaliate vanished in its breath.

"..."

The black dragon looked up at her with a sense of familiarity, but her heart sank. This dragon was definitely a dominant force in this space, and she probably couldn't withstand even that one breath.

"Good brother, can you understand me? I don't want to fight you, can you let me go?"

Having made up his mind, Black Flying Dragon crouched down, attempting to downplay the incident.

As if it had heard a voice, the dragon stopped breathing, but the next moment it began to tumble in the air, the upside down forcing the black dragon to grab onto the protrusion on its head to keep from falling.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me... um..."

Black Dragon was about to utter some harsh words when his mouth was stuffed full of air, forcing him to shut up.

The mechanical dragon's death roll lasted for more than ten minutes, leaving the black dragons completely bewildered and unable to find any opportunity to retaliate.

Hey!

The mechanical dragon, which had stopped rolling, suddenly shot into the sky at a speed that even exceeded the speed of sound. After reaching a certain height, the mechanical dragon began to spin and fall towards the sea. The whole process was without any pause. The black dragon was like a pendant, spinning wildly with the mechanical dragon. Finally, the man and the dragon crashed into the sea with a bang. The huge impact made the sea feel pain.

The buoyancy of the ship's equipment was completely useless against this dragon, and the conflict between the two forces forced the black dragon to let go.

Whoosh!

Black Flying Dragon surfaced with her ship's equipment, her body soaked in seawater. The sharp pain in her arm brought her to a more awake state.

After a brief pause, Black Dragon drew her cherry blossom sword and slashed twice. One slash dispersed the seawater rushing towards her, while the other slashed at the shadowy spot on the seabed. The spatial distortion, noticeable to ordinary people, disappeared into the seawater with the sword energy and struck the mechanical dragon's back directly.

The attack hit the black dragon, and without pausing, it tore open space and left.

Sure enough, less than a minute later, a huge shadow emerged from the seabed. Its red eyes shone like direct light, staring straight in the direction the black dragon had left. Behind it, there was a laceration more than twenty meters long, with arcs of electricity leaping wildly within it. The seawater trapped inside was instantly evaporated, and then the wound began to heal. At the very top of the wound, something could be vaguely seen pulsating.

The mechanical dragon flapped its wings and chased after the black dragon. Parts of its giant wings began to shift, and one turret after another began to appear. Hundreds of beams shot out, covering the large area where the black dragon was located.

"Who created this monster?"

Black Flying Dragon watched the giant dragon take off again, glanced at the ship girls' reactions in the distance, gritted its teeth, lunged forward and plunged into the tunnel, instantly appearing a thousand meters away to the right of the mechanical dragon. It swung a slash that distorted space, then carved a tunnel beneath itself and appeared in another location to slash again.

Multiple sword energies slashed at the mechanical dragon from all directions, destroying a large number of parts and tearing it almost apart. However, even so, the mechanical dragon's functions remained intact. There were huge gashes on its wings, claws, neck, and other parts, but they could not cut it off.

Hey!

Not only that, the mechanical dragon became even more excited, constantly pouncing on the black dragon in the air like a cat chasing a mouse.

"Ah, I can't take it anymore."

Finally, the black dragon landed on an island and sat down, looking somewhat exhausted.

For the first time, her body signaled a depletion of energy. As her energy dwindled, her physical strength began to decline dramatically, and she became completely exhausted.

"Wait, oh no, where am I..."

As soon as she sat down, Black Flying Dragon seemed to remember something and looked up at the mountain peaks on the island, where she could see the reactions of two ship girls. She was so engrossed in the battle that she had completely forgotten about them.

Before she could get up, the mechanical dragon swooped down, its front claws grabbing the black dragon and slamming it into the mountainside. At the same time, its body crashed down, the immense force shaking the entire island. The black dragon was slammed into the mountain, making the mountain seem like it was about to collapse.

"Cough cough!"

Slammed into the mountainside, Black Flying Dragon felt as if his entire body was about to shatter. Something surged up from his throat, and he began to cough violently.

"I'm still too weak."

Black Flying Dragon opened her heavy eyelids and looked at the mechanical dragon sitting in front of her. The wounds she had just scraped open were beginning to heal.

As if sensing the black dragon's observation, the mechanical dragon twisted its neck smugly, opened its mouth and breathed fire, then folded its wings and lay down, the light in its eyes slowly fading.

"Are you planning to keep playing with me after I've rested?"

Black Dragon gasped. If Mio had opened the door for her this time, then she had been tricked terribly. If this space was not an independent space but a Siren experimental zone, then this dragon was definitely an experimental product of the same generation as her. Unlike herself, who needed to grow, this thing was already in its complete form.

However, it's too playful, and the Sirens probably can't control it, so it's left here.

"Forget it, let's just wait as long as we can. At least we need to get everyone out of here first."

After adjusting his mindset, the black dragon turned left and right.

He pried his hands off the soil and then struggled to climb out.

Somewhat limping, Black Flying Dragon came down from the mountain and arrived at a cave entrance blocked by rolling rocks. After clearing for a while, he found a passage and entered the cave.

Is anyone home?

Black Dragon took out a Rubik's Cube, and pale blue stardust illuminated a small area, while the sound echoed throughout the cave.

Is anyone home?

Black Flying Dragon walked and called out, hoping that the tremor had not hurt anyone who had come here.

"Ahem, is that the Black Flying Dragon? We're here."

A terrifying sound came from a corner in the distance.

"Are you all alright? I have a damage control technician here, do you need him?"

Black Flying Dragon followed the sound.

"Idiot, you're way too late."

Kewei breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the starlight slowly approach in the distance.

"Sorry, this place is too big."

When the black dragon entered, it found Fearless and Hermione hiding in an irregular little hole. Fearless was still awake, while Hermione was asleep next to him. There were also fragments of cannonballs in the corner, presumably they had been blown out to avoid falling rocks.

"Damage control...you should use it yourself, right?"

Just as Kewei was about to speak, he suddenly saw the black dragon, who was barely clothed and covered in mud, and his tone unconsciously softened.

"This is just a superficial wound. Here, give it to Hermione, ouch."

Black Flying Dragon took out his phone and squatted down, immediately wincing in pain.

"Are you really alright?"

Kewei looked at Black Flying Dragon with a suspicious expression.

“I said it’s okay, and it’s okay. There’s a watchdog outside, so it’s safe here for now. I just need to rest for a bit.”

Black Dragon tossed the communicator to Fearsome, leaned against the stone wall beside him, and closed his eyes.

"Watchdog?"

Hearing what Black Dragon said, Fearless honestly picked up the communicator and placed it in Hermione's hand, then forcefully crushed it. Blue starlight emerged in the darkness and merged into Hermione's body, healing her injuries.

"Hmm, an even better watchdog than me."

Black Flying Dragon responded.

Chapter 105 The Path Towards the Unknown

This was a dimly lit space, with dark clouds covering the sky. Not a ray of light could penetrate the thick clouds, making the already gloomy sky even more so, giving people an invisible pressure.

call out!

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out, and a shell descended from the sky at incredible speed, striking a humanoid creature floating on the sea surface.

The shell exploded, turning the humanoid creature into a burst of flames that briefly illuminated the sea to the left and right before extinguishing, leaving only a patch of black impurities on the surface.

The explosion was like a trigger, and a series of artillery shells and explosions began to ring out. A large number of fighter jets flew over the distant sky, and every now and then a fighter jet would break away from the formation and dive towards the sea to attack the creatures swimming on the surface. The once calm sea area was turned into a battlefield in the blink of an eye.

At the source of the shelling, a tall woman in a blue and white navy trench coat gazed into the distance, with faint smoke rising from the gun barrels around her.

"Is this a new model of Siren? It's completely different from the beasts we just encountered. It looks like it has a lot of research value."

New Jersey stood with his hands over his chest, gazing thoughtfully at the humanoid creatures engaged in anti-aircraft counterattacks in the distance.
