Crossing the azure as a black dragon

-------------------------------------------------- -

Chapter Fourteen

"Please calm down, everyone. Don't rush. Proceed to the shelter in one order..."

"Please repeat this one more time..."

This is a city called Katsuura. As the least populated city in Chiba Prefecture, the streets, which should be quiet and peaceful, are now crowded with people. The vehicles on the road are jammed together, and the constant honking of horns is irritating.

Police officers, sweating profusely, were using megaphones to direct traffic, but even so, angry shouts and curses continued to erupt from the crowd, creating a chaotic scene.

"Damn it, Nagoya Port was attacked by sirens just a few days ago, and now they're here again. What are those people up there doing?"

During a shift change, a black-haired young man in a police uniform hid in the shadows of the building, wiping away sweat and repeatedly greeting the senior management of Sakura Heavy Industry in a low voice.

"Ok?"

The young man, who was looking down, caught a glimpse of a pair of flawless white legs, as smooth as porcelain. What surprised him even more was that the owner of the legs was barefoot, walking into his line of sight without any shoes.

"Did you rush out without wearing shoes after hearing the broadcast?"

The young man felt something was off and looked up at the owner of the leg. He saw a woman with long, silver-white hair. Her fair skin even reflected the sunlight. What was striking was that she had black metal braces on her wrists and thighs. Broken chains were fastened to the braces, making a slight rattling sound when she walked.

The woman seemed to ignore the young man and continued walking calmly on the deserted, somewhat chaotic street.

"Is she a ship girl?"

The young man glanced at it twice and quickly looked away.

Although the ship girl commander and he were not in the same system, there was a port nearby, so he knew that many ship girls with special personalities had special clothing preferences, so it was not surprising that a woman was dressed like this.

Suddenly, the woman stopped and looked up at the other side of the road. There, a silver-haired woman had appeared and was staring at her.

"I knew something was off. You're not an ordinary Siren, are you?"

Emerging from the spatial tunnel, the black dragon squinted at the figure on the other side of the road, waiting for a reply while its right hand made a fist in the air, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"Traitor who has sided with humanity, I have no obligation to answer your questions. Step back and do not disturb me in carrying out my mission."

The unknown siren looked at the black dragon, its pale red eyes devoid of any emotion, sending chills down one's spine.

"What mission?"

Black Dragon's gaze turned cold. She never considered herself to be on the Sirens' side, but being labeled a traitor was really unpleasant.

The siren withdrew its gaze and continued on its way.

"Aren't there any normal guys among the sirens?"

Black Flying Dragon frowned, not in a hurry to attack, but instead followed the other party across the road.

The energy response she sensed from this siren was both extremely weak and incredibly powerful. This stark contrast made her uneasy, especially since they were in the city and she needed to find a way to get the other side out before she could fight.

"Although I don't know what mission this guy is on, his open appearance here, and his lack of intention to get involved with me, must be an order directly from the creator, but..."

As the black dragon moved with the siren, it pondered.

She absolutely cannot let this Siren go, so the battle is not the focus. What's more important now is to figure out what this guy is up to and whether it's directly related to the Siren's large-scale attack.

However, she had no information whatsoever about these powerful individuals in the pro-war faction or about their invasion strategies, and couldn't find any direction for reasoning.

"Wait, is this direction... towards the shelter?"

Suddenly, Black Dragon realized something, opened the auxiliary light screen to mark the route, and discovered that the two of them were heading towards the underground shelter in Katsuura City.

The black dragon vanished from its spot and appeared directly in front of the siren, blocking her path.

Is your target human?

Black Dragon drew his longsword with his right hand and plunged it into the ground; the hard...

The concrete roadside was pierced, and energy spread outwards, forming a four-meter-sided cube-shaped protective shield that locked the two people inside.

The siren's cold gaze fell on the black dragon, but she gave no answer.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to leave you here."

Black Dragon didn't bother arguing with this guy and simply walked up and grabbed its shoulder.

Almost instantly, the siren's body radiated intense lightning in all directions like a sun. The shield of the longsword couldn't be maintained for even a second, and the large tree next to it was instantly turned into charcoal upon contact.

Such terrifying electricity was raging, but the black dragon that was in direct contact with the Sirens revealed a triumphant expression. With a flash of light, the two of them, swords in hand, disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a pile of charred remains.

……

On the sea, far from land, a rainbow-like light suddenly burst open, and a figure retreated out from within it.

Feeling the 'whooshing' wind in his ears, the black dragon lightly touched the air with its toes to stop its backward speed, and looked at the siren opposite it with a look of full of fear.

"Was it discovered, or was it an instinctive reaction?"

Black Dragon's right hand trembled slightly, and arcs of electricity danced at his fingertips.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem very smart, she tried to trick it by locking it directly inside the long sword's internal space. Unexpectedly, in the instant of the transfer, the other party seemed to become a different person, grabbing her hand and dragging her here.

Luckily, she reacted quickly, otherwise it wouldn't have been just a case of her hand going numb.

Stab it!

The sound of electric arcs rang out, and the black dragon's expression changed slightly. It pushed off with its feet and leaped into the air. The instant it turned around, it saw a siren floating in the air, with a smile as if it had spotted its prey.

This guy somehow got behind her; it wasn't spatial teleportation, but a more direct method of movement.

"I was planning to clean up those traitors one by one before dealing with you, but forget it, I'll start with you from now on."

Seeing the black dragon escape, the siren tore off the black iron ring from her left hand with her right hand and lashed it out at the black dragon. An invisible force condensed in the air and slammed into the black dragon in mid-air.

Black Flying Dragon slashed through the air with her hand like a knife, and a massive dark red sword aura transformed into a long blade tens of meters long, colliding with the force that was striking her.

Snapped!

With a deafening roar from the collision, the two forces exploded simultaneously. The Sirens' attack vanished instantly, while the black dragon's exploding sword energy formed a giant black net that sliced ​​through the air and flew towards the Sirens.

"Is this how energy is converted into a massive bioelectric current?"

Looking down from the air, the black dragon narrowed her eyes slightly. After a brief exchange, she had roughly figured out her opponent's fighting style.

"Interesting, looks like I'll be learning a lot again."

After moving his right hand, which had regained sensation, Black Flying Dragon unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.

Chapter Fifteen: Cherry Blossoms Suffer Heavy Damage

If someone had told Black Flying Dragon when she first transmigrated that she would often fight enemies in the air, she would have thought the other person was an idiot.

However, reality is often unfair; she has now become a true aircraft carrier.

"Based on past experience, the Siren's combat ability is very close to the life form it references. Could this guy be an electric eel?"

Black Dragon stood in the air, squinting as it looked down. Countless sword energies were cutting across the sea surface, but these sword energies were neutralized by an unseen attack as soon as they got close to the unknown Siren.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but she could sense the fluctuations; judging from the energy response, it was an electric shock.

Judging from the siren's unwavering expression, these electric shocks might be an instinctive reaction, just as she would subconsciously use a shield to block attacks when attacked.

"The only way to completely eliminate these experimental subjects is to reduce them to ashes..."

After observing for about ten seconds without gaining any further information, the black dragon raised its hand and shook hands with the siren.

As the black dragon raised its hand, the space around the silver-haired siren distorted, the flying sword energy dissipated, and the siren's body was like a picture that had been erased by an eraser. Most of her arms, waist, abdomen and lower body disappeared, leaving only a small part of her body in place.

"A pointless attack."

The siren glanced at the black dragon, took a step forward, and the missing parts of her body instantly returned to normal; the distorted space had no effect on her.

The experimental subjects are very sensitive to changes in space, so attacks that can directly kill Destroyers are completely ineffective against them.

"Forget it, let's finish this quickly."

Black Flying Dragon's expression remained unchanged. He made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand, drawing out a long sword. He leaned forward and stepped into the air, transforming into a shooting star as he rushed towards the sirens below.

The black dragon was incredibly fast, covering hundreds of meters in an instant, and its cold blade flashed down towards the siren.

Click!

The siren itself did not move, but dozens of metal chains emerged around its body. The black dragon's longsword struck one of them directly. The powerful force caused the chain to tremble violently, but it failed to break. In that instant of pause, the blade was caught in the chain and cracked on the spot.

Almost simultaneously, a massive electric current surged from the chains to the longsword, and the leaping arcs of electricity materialized and struck the Black Dragon holding the sword with a crackling sound on her head. The powerful impact sent the Black Dragon flying backward, her entire body crackling with electricity.

"Is this the only low-level attack method you know?"

The siren's expression after defeating the black dragon.

With a sudden thud, she swung her right hand, and more than twenty iron chains, layered around her, lashed outwards without leaving any blind spots. The powerful force compressed the air, producing a shrill sound, and multicolored electric currents formed a whirlwind to protect her body.

"You flatter me."

A cold voice rang out, and the chains that the Sirens swung out snapped completely. The protective whirlwind was split in two, and the black dragon's figure reappeared in front of the Sirens.

The longsword, burning with black flames, swung down, slicing the Siren diagonally across her right shoulder and splitting her in two.

"Although I don't know what hidden abilities you have that give you your confidence, I'm not very interested. Disappear."

After uttering a few words, Black Dragon swung his longsword, the blade light enveloping the Sirens' entire body. Accompanied by flames, the Sirens turned to ashes and vanished into the wind.

"..."

Slowly sheathing his longsword, Black Flying Dragon closed his eyes and used energy fluctuations to survey the surrounding area for dozens of nautical miles. After confirming that there were no energy fluctuations, he opened his eyes.

"So weak?"

Black Dragon stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled.

This guy dared to talk tough to her, which means he must have been confident he could beat her, so how come he died with just one stab?

Buzz!

A phone rang in his personal space, and Black Flying Dragon reached in and took it out to answer.

"It was me. Shinano was attacked by Sirens in Hokkaido just now. No, it should be said that a family closely related to the Sirens was attacked by the Sirens. The Sirens were very strong, and Shinano was unable to repel them."

Amagi's voice came through the phone, his tone very serious.

"what?"
