"But I really should be thankful that Jörmungandr didn't attack right now..."

"Your Majesty, the Demon King?"

The soldiers were so surprised by Ella's single-handed action of picking up the shield tower, which was difficult for even an adult to control, that they even sounded panicked.

"Just take care of yourself."

Compared to the nervous soldiers, Ella, as the person involved, was calmer. With the shield tower as isolation, she should not lose the power value of surpassing Jörmungandr. Although the visual impact was very strong, after all, Jörmungandr was also a common monster in "F.Wing", and the fear it brought was not as strong as that of the Deep Sea Lord.

hiss--

A roar loud enough to spread to the entire southern city wall was heard. Looking at the shield tower standing on the city wall, Jörmungandr's voice was filled with anger - the fragile dragon clan actually dodged the previous attack, which was a complete shame.

The anger rushing into Jörmungandr's brain made him shake his head continuously. Finally, he decided to sacrifice the life of the dragon who raised the shield tower to wash away his previous mistake.

Just like before, Jörmungandr slowly moved its giant triangular snake head back, gathered enough strength at its neck, and then rushed towards Ella with the sound of the crossbow hitting its body as the background sound.

【coming! 】

While shouting in her heart, Ella hid her entire body behind the shield tower and used the little magic power she had just recovered to cast the magic of "Iron Wall Strengthening" on herself.

"—『Spear of Magic』."

laugh--

Bang!

The sound of magic penetrating Jörmungandr's golden snake eye and its impact on Ella's shield tower was heard simultaneously.

Hiss——!

"You must be kidding!"

The moment the two came into contact, the shield tower was torn into several pieces, revealing Ella who was huddled behind it. Then her vision began to become distorted and the surrounding scenery began to spin. When she came to her senses, she found herself flying in the air.

It was true that Ella surpassed Jörmungandr in strength, but the difference in weight between the two was too great, so it was natural that she was knocked away. Rather, the fact that she was not smashed into a pulp was entirely thanks to the "Healing Miracle", a piece of armor made entirely according to the specifications of the Loli God.

“Ugh—it hurts, it hurts…”

However, the pain after being hit cannot be exempted, even in the 999-level Loli God state. The severe pain of falling from a high place into the woods behind is almost enough to make people faint, and all the air in the lungs is squeezed out.

It took a full five minutes before Ella could use healing magic to gradually relieve the pain in her muscles.

"Ahh, damn it. If that soldier wasn't behind me, I could have just switched characters and used invisibility. Well, it should be over by now? I should have been able to hold out for a minute. The magic cannon should have definitely driven the Jörmungandr away—huh?"

A loud thunderclap erupted from the direction of the city wall, and the sky became overcast. On the opposite side of the hotel, brilliant fireworks rose, symbolizing the urgency.

"Huh? That unusual thing over there on the wall is... Iris? And that's an emergency signal coming from the hotel?... Tina?"

After realizing that serious situations were occurring on both sides, Ella's facial features, which were originally wrinkled in pain, instantly turned into a serious expression.

Chapter 86: The Feast at the Climax of the Festival

*创世纪6187年1月8日 下午14:23分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

Side walls

"Your Highness, at the inn..."

Hearing Lotte calling her, Iris immediately stopped chanting the spell and looked in the direction Lotte pointed to on her left. Exceptionally gorgeous fireworks were blooming above the inn.

The joy that originally came from the upgrade cooled instantly.

He was very clear about the symbolic meaning of this firework. It was a product he made using magical technology. Everyone in the "Branch of Disaster" had one. It was a prop to prevent people from being alone and encountering danger. According to the agreement, it could only be used when it was confirmed that the other party had expressed clear hostility towards him and that he could not resist it with his own personal strength.

In other words, someone in the direction of the hotel encountered this critical situation. Thinking back, the only possible person was Angelica who had just left the city wall. However, with Angelica's speed, it is unlikely that she would be unable to escape. In other words, it is not that she cannot leave, but that she cannot leave.

"Could it be Miss Tina and the maid?"

There was a hint of anxiety in Luti's tone.

"Fuka-chan and Lotte-chan, go back first. I'll go find Ella-chan and Camisia on the other side."

"Yes, Your Highness Elise."

Although it was obvious that Lotte wanted to follow him to find Ella, now was not the time to be fussy. Camisia was going to stay on the city wall to help protect the dragons as a bargaining chip. If he guessed correctly, Fuos should have regarded Ella's previous words as a negotiation, then it would be okay for him to help push them from behind. If Ella and the demons grew stronger, it would be more beneficial to his future. So, with Camisia unable to get away, the only one who could take Ella back to the inn quickly was himself, who could perform flying magic.

"Flight, Eye of Investigation."

After chanting a short spell with "New Moon Dew" and flying into the air, Ella's position was roughly known. As always, she liked to act recklessly, and now she was in the most dangerous place at the main gate of the city wall.

"And Jörmungandr?"

He frowned slightly. Even for himself, it would be very difficult to deal with the level 40 Jörmungandr. However, with Camisia there, safety should not be a problem. Even his "Eye of Exploration" could not find Camisia, who was beyond the heroic realm.

In short, it would be better to go there quickly now. If Ella is still on the city wall, it means that she didn't notice the fireworks just now. She must improve on this next time.

Thinking of Ella, Iris couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

If it weren't for the brooch that Ella gave her, which made her immune to all mental magic, she would never be able to travel freely on the continent like this. Although she said when she first arrived on the island that she couldn't move around freely because of her status as a princess, that was only a small part of the reason. The real reason why she was not allowed to travel freely in other countries was the gift of the princess of the God-Human Clan, the "Eye of Freya". This kind of magic made people subconsciously submit to it, and it was a disaster no matter where she went.

But after having this brooch, everything was solved. Traveling in the dragon tribe without any guards like this was something I had never dared to think about before, and all this was thanks to Ella's help.

Although he always teased Ella on the surface, he would not even bother to look at her if she was not someone he was interested in, let alone tolerate her throwing sugar cubes in his special bitter coffee - normally he would definitely punish her with death.

In that case, Ella might be unexpectedly courageous.

"Huh—let's find it quickly and then go to the inn."

After saying this, he saw that Jörmungandr had destroyed the city wall to the point of collapse.

How could this happen? Isn't Camisia here?

He was anxious and wanted to get to the city wall quickly, but the speed limit of flying magic was only that of an adult running at full speed. He could not get there immediately and could only watch Jörmungandr destroy the city wall wantonly.

Then, the dust that covered the entire city wall gradually fell, and a shield tower that seemed completely incomparable to the huge body of Jörmungandr appeared on the top of the city. From the information fed back by the Eye of Exploration, it can be seen that the person holding up the shield tower was Ella.

He definitely looked like he wanted to stop Jörmungandr with his own strength.

No, if he was hit directly by Jörmungandr, he would definitely be seriously injured. No, with the healer's physical ability, no one would suspect him even if he died on the spot.

The heart that had remained calm for years finally began to fluctuate. It was a mixture of panic, fear, anxiety and ever-increasing anger.

Even her lips began to tremble as she chanted the spell. Iris raised the "New Moon Dew" with one hand. If it weren't for her excellent magic control ability as a member of the God-man race, she might not be able to condense magic at all.

——We must solve it before Jörmungandr hits Ella.

Concentrating all his attention, he locked his target on Jörmungandr's huge golden eyes. If the eyes were hit, no matter what monster it was, it would give up attacking because of the pain.

"—『Spear of Magic』."

Among the third-level magic, this is an ultra-long-range single-target magic that focuses on explosive power and penetrating power. In war, this kind of magic is often used to snipe the enemy's main general, and it is the most appropriate place to use it here.

A three-meter-long transparent spear was condensed, and along with the sonic boom caused by air compression, it pierced into the golden snake's eye without any delay. However, unlike what was imagined, Jörmungandr did not move his body immediately due to the inertia of diving forward.

In full view of everyone, it hit Ella.

no no……

Iris's green pupils shrank instantly, and the shield tower erected on the city wall shattered without even a second of support. Then, Ella was seen being knocked into the air without any resistance like a kite with a broken string.

My vision started to blur and my surroundings gradually lost color.

This is impossible……

This is just a dream...

Where's Camisia? There's no way Camisia isn't here. That person definitely isn't Ella.

While saying words of comfort to herself in her heart, even her breathing began to tremble. Iris, suspended in mid-air, stared blankly at the destroyed city wall.

I once imagined what it would be like after achieving my goal, but now it has been ruined because of my carelessness, and it is an irreparable mistake.

hiss--!

Jörmungandr, whose eyes were pierced by the spear of magic, turned around, opened his huge mouth as if it could swallow everything, and stared at Iris.

Brought back to reality by Jörmungandr's foul-smelling roar, Iris saw a pair of wings made entirely of ice crystals gradually condense behind her. She felt panic, fear, and anxiety, and all her emotions at this moment turned into regret and rage.

“I can’t… I can’t… I absolutely can’t forgive you…”

Taking off the long golden hair that Ella had given her, Iris's long, waterfall-like, pure silver hair, a symbol of the royal family of the God-man race, was exposed in the air. She lowered her head at an angle where no one could see her expression.

"'In the name of the glorious Farialucchi.'"

"'The agreement is made in the name of the glorious and glorious One God.'"

"'Relying on the wishes of all the heroic spirits on earth.'"

"Iris Charles Farialuci is hereby entrusted with the duty of carrying out divine punishment on behalf of the royal ancestor."

“‘Fall into eternal sleep, at my prayer! Sorrowful Holy Spirit!’”

“—Spiritual Seance.”

With dark clouds and lightning swirling high in the sky behind her as a backdrop, Iris spread her icy wings and pointed the tip of her Crescent Moon Dew staff toward the sky like a true god descending.

"—[Star Elemental Strike]."

Colors symbolizing the six elements swirled in the sky, gradually condensing into a ball of white light mist. Judging from the storm that was constantly blowing up huge waves due to the huge fluctuations of magical power, if this ball of light mist exploded on the water surface, not only Jörmungandr, but even the city walls would be destroyed.

Finally, the white mist condensed into a ball of light that seemed to have a physical body. With a speed so fast that only the tail flame could be caught, it crashed into the huge mouth of Jörmungandr that was about to swallow Iris.

"Iris! —"Holy Barrier"

——!

The field of vision was dyed white, and the world was drowned by a loud noise that seemed to pierce the eardrums.

After transforming back into a magic caster, Ella used the defensive "Holy Barrier" for the city wall, then teleported to Iris, who was falling from the air, and hugged her around the waist. Even without Ella saying it, she knew that Iris must have seen her being knocked away by Jörmungandr just now and thought she was dead, so she used magic of this scale.

"Has your mana been reset to zero...and your experience points too? And you're still level 34? I remember you were about to level up when you came here. Is this a side effect of the 'Summoning' magic? ...Is that what you meant by warning me not to use 'Summoning' magic carelessly last time?"

A tone full of guilt echoed in the completely quiet surroundings, and Ella hugged the unconscious Iris with one hand in a very funny-looking posture.

"—After that... let's talk about our strength... There are more important things to do right now."

Ella looked at all the islands surrounded by large sea beasts in the terrain search, and used teleportation magic to flash in the air.

Rather than showing Entarosphiel's strength, it is more important to buy time now.

——Before Angelina and the others did anything stupid for Tina.

Chapter 87: Temporary Recess and Rekindled Embers

*创世纪6187年1月8日 下午14:14分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

Tina sat back on the bed.

Perhaps because I used my ability too many times this morning, I just recalled the incomplete parts of my memory.

First of all, it is his own ability. According to the original speculation, in addition to being able to talk to animals, he can also make control magic ineffective, but in fact it is not that simple. In addition to making monsters below his level go berserk, he can also make all sea beasts below his level be controlled. Although it is only limited to sea beasts, it is an extremely powerful skill.

And this is why he became the last person of the underwater civilization - he was kept in a birdcage as the last hope.

Before the demons came to the aid of the dragons, he had once thought that the bottom of the sea was the happiest place in the world, with a gentle brother and servants who took care of him, and no one had sadness on their face.

Every time I sneaked into the streets disguised as civilians, I could feel the atmosphere of peace. People's faces were filled with smiles, and all kinds of props that looked very precious were transported back to the capital by soldiers in carts. It was as if a festival was being held every day.

But this affluent life was broken one day.

That day, my brother, who had just returned from outside, showed a look of horror on his face for the first time, as if he had seen a demon. After he said something to my father, my father's usually kind face also turned gloomy.

Taking that day as a signal, the Demon King of the Demon Clan led his followers and, together with the Dragon Clan, fell into an endless war with the Undersea People.

The descending Demon King used the Arrow of Fire to suppress the underwater people surrounding the main island of Helkar, and then handed the Arrow of Fire to his follower - a girl with long ice-blue hair and wearing strange clothes, and handed over the initiative of the war to her.

People on the street lost their smiles, and the entire kingdom fell into panic. Finally, the demon of fire brought the flames of war here, and he was taken to the birdcage on the execution platform by his brother.

"Tina, just stay here. This should be the safest place. You are the last hope for us underwater people."

These were the last words spoken by his brother, and then he saw the fiery demon—the devil's followers.

"Hmm? Were you abandoned here like a nobody? How pitiful."

Without waiting for a reply from herself, who was too frightened to speak, the girl in strange attire thrust the arrow of fire into the top of the cage, plunging herself into near-eternal solitude.
