Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

"Just sing, anything. Just let everyone in Pierre-El and that bastard hear you sing."

Hillilite threw a microphone-like magic device to Sasha and immediately began to rescue Crystal.

"Xiao, I guess I'm returning the favor now. No, I wanted to save this guy myself."

Hillilite stained her fingertips with Crystal's blood and began to carve a magic circle around her.

When the magic circle was halfway drawn, there was not enough blood on the ground.

"Tsk, why don't you spit out a little more blood, girl?"

Hillilite complained in dissatisfaction and cut her palm with a dagger.

"Huh, alright. You little brat, it's time to get up and work."

Hillette finished her preparations and breathed a tired sigh of relief.

She placed her hand on the ruby ​​on Crystal's chest and let the blood flow down.

Beautiful and warm flames burst out from the gem.

"Teno Holy Grail Knights, you are indeed colluding with that old bastard Adolf."

Su Lin'er pointed her sword at the hooded man in front of her, her tone filled with anger.

Every time she fought this organization, they were doing heinous things.

"Collusion is a bit too much. We just have business dealings with Mr. Prime Minister."

"Business? So what's your reason for getting involved in the Warhol thing?"

Su Lin'er resisted the urge to kill the man in front of her and tried to gather more information.

"Of course, revenge."

The man's gloomy eyes under his hood glared fiercely at Xiao who was standing beside him.

"Are you seeking revenge for that incident? I feel like I've provoked you guys a few times."

Xiao recalled that when he was preparing to bring down the Hobbes family in the imperial capital, he seemed to have had many conflicts with the Teno Holy Grail Knights.

"Laura Fianna, that's the name of the gentle woman you tortured to death!"

The hooded man roared angrily, looking like he wanted to tear Akatsuki apart with his bare hands.

"Hmm? Oh, I remember now, that sadistic older sister.

But is there something wrong with your definition of gentleness?

That wild older sister can't possibly be a gentle person, right?"

"Xiao, why do you have enemies everywhere?"

Su Lin'er couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust.

"Lin'er, this matter has something to do with you as well. After all, it was that elder sister who launched the attack at the Second Prince's engagement banquet."

"Tsk, both of you will be sacrificed to Laura Fianna today!"

Seeing that Xiao and Su Lin'er didn't take him seriously at all, the hooded man angrily took out a syringe.

"What are you doing?!"

"Oh no, Crystal..."

"That idiot must have pushed himself too far. Didn't I say I'd run away if I couldn't win?"

Xiao suddenly noticed that Crystal's condition on his dashboard had changed from weak to near death.

"Haha, how about you try to feel like you lost someone important to you?"

The hooded man looked at Xiao's expression and seemed to know what had happened.

His body continued to swell, emitting purple-black liquid.

"You bastard..."

Xiao said in a low voice, slowly drawing his sword.

"Haha, it's useless even if you're angry. Even if you arrived now, the most you'd do is die with your women."

After a while, the hooded man swelled up into a giant over five meters tall, making a very unpleasant and hoarse laugh.

"Unfortunately, Crystal is not as weak as you think. Neither am I."

It was very calm, and Xiao no longer had the playful look he usually had.

Xiao like this actually scared Su Lin'er very much.

"Xiao, you're a little cold..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao rushed out.

Even she, who was known as the strongest hero in the history of the empire, could not see Xiao's movements clearly.

"Tsk! No matter how strong you are, there's no way you can defeat that thing called the Sky Tree. They're not what you think they are."

The hooded man hardened his arms into extremely strong armor and barely withstood Akatsuki's first attack.

Looking at the armor shattered into pieces, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"what do you mean?"

"The Heavenly Tree is a creation of a false god. Even if it is a false god, it is not something you humans can deal with, right?"

The hooded man tried to attract Xiao's attention by answering Su Lin'er's questions.

But Xiao had no intention of paying any attention to them.

Although Xiao noticed on the system that Crystal's condition was recovering rapidly for some unknown reason.

But words like "false god" filled him with a bad premonition.

“But Nakamura is not…”

"That's just the juvenile form of the Heavenly Tree. The real Heavenly Tree doesn't look like a plant. It's a much more sinister existence. Tsk, aren't you curious at all... haha!"

"I'm not curious. I know everything that's going on in your mind."

Akatsuki pulled out the sword stuck in the hooded man's abdomen with a cold tone and inserted a small gray-green bead into the wound.

"W-What are you doing! Ah!"

A sharp pain came from his abdomen, and the hooded man felt something moving inside his body.

The uneasiness and unbearable itchiness made him scratch his body desperately and groan continuously.

"Lin'er, I'll leave this guy to you. I'll rush back to Pierre right now."

"I, understand. You should be careful too."

"Ah."

Xiao took out a spear and threw it with all his strength.

The ruby ​​on Crystal's chest erupted in flames, wrapping her tenderly.

"What's going on? Is Crystal okay?"

Sasha was stunned by the scene before her and questioned Hillilite in panic.

"Don't worry, these flames won't hurt her. I'll leave the rest to you."

Hillary wiped the sweat from her forehead and prepared to leave the scene.

"Miss Hillelite, where are you going?"

“You don’t have to worry about me.

I came here secretly from the imperial capital. If people knew I was here, I would be in a lot of trouble."

"I see. Thank you very much."

"I should thank you. I am the one who caused you trouble."

Hildreth helped the bowed Sasha up and smiled tiredly.

"Your singing and the fire phoenix this guy controls should be enough to last until Akatsuki and the others return."

"I understand. Please take care of yourself too."

"Ah."

"Cough cough..."

"Okay, this damn girl is awake now. I'm leaving now."

As Hildreth spoke, she used magic to create an ice ladder, slid down from the roof and left the scene.

"Sasha...what's going on now?"

"The Sky Tree's offensive has slowed down now. Are you okay?"

"Hmm, slowed down? Why?"

Christo was helped by Sasha to sit up, and she felt very strange looking at the sky tree standing in the distance.

As if she was asleep, her tentacle-like vines were swaying and lifeless.

"Well, because I have Miss Hillette's help."

"Hillette."

Hearing the name, Crystal immediately frowned.

"Christo, calm down for a moment. Miss Hillette saved you."

"That stinky woman is meddling in other people's business again..."

Seeing Crystal, who had always behaved very maturely, suddenly get angry like she was acting like a spoiled child, Sasha couldn't help but laugh.

"No...Oh no, the Sky Tree is moving again."

Chapter 101: Creation of False God

"I see, eh..."

Only then did Crystal realize that she felt a comfortable warmth on her collarbone.

The ruby ​​necklace that Leicester gave her before leaving exuded a gentle glow.

"It seems Miss Hillette saved you with this gem."

"This gem..."

Hearing the voice of a strange girl in her mind, Crystal smiled.

"Leave the attack to me."

"Ah."

"My friend, please listen to my request and reveal your magnificent form once again."

Listening to Sasha's singing, Crystal sang the words that had just come to her mind.

Flames emerged from Crystal's side and surged towards the horizon, transforming into a beautiful giant bird.

"Is this the real Fire Phoenix? It's so beautiful."

The fire phoenix let out a melodious cry and flew towards the two heavenly trees.

"O great dragon that sleeps in the land of sunset, a being of great power, scorched by the flames of the world. Before my eyes lies a foul and vile creature. Allow me to use your wrath to send it into the abyss of flame."

Crystal summoned the injured Flame Dragon again.

It also regained its vitality thanks to Hillilite's magic.

"Please."
