Her size is even larger than that of an ordinary ancient dragon, but in front of this celestial river, she still looks tiny.
It's like an ant trying to shake a mountain.
But she didn't hesitate at all.
A python is devouring the largest river on the planet. No matter how hard it tries, this process should not have any meaning. However, it seems as if Frustana is just devouring a tiny mouse, and it seems so natural.
However, this time it is not a fool's errand of trying to shake a tree with an ant.
Her body was stretching.
She was an ancient behemoth awakening, breaking free from its slumber to reassert her presence. Her ever-larger frame allowed her to swallow the water even faster. With each drop of water she swallowed, her form grew larger, as if a bottomless abyss lay within her, greedily devouring the entire world's water supply.
This process became a positive cycle that accelerated, and she devoured the Heavenly River at an increasingly rapid rate. At first, she had to swim in the Heavenly River to drink, but soon, she only needed to open her mouth wide, and the entire river would fall into her throat.
Finally, within a few short minutes, the celestial river that had once obscured the sky had vanished within Frustana's body. The sky became clear once again, as if the river had never existed. Even the mist that had been splashing in the air had been drunk up by Frustana.
At this moment, the Water Spirit finally regained her true form. Perhaps it could be said to be a living celestial river. Her form coiled across the earth like a giant silver dragon stretching across a thousand miles. Her scales shimmered like stars, each imbued with boundless power. Her body rose as if to touch the heavens, and the entire world trembled at her breath. Her presence was the rolling of the ocean, the surge of the tide, the embodiment of the water element.
Only then did she lean over.
The Milky Way has disappeared, but the silver fire still stands in its place.
The originally violent and active Silver Fire had now become incomparably docile—more than eighty years ago, the Silver Fire wantonly poured out its destructive magic, eagerly trying to drill into the earth, intending to share its power in the most intense way.
Now, it is floating quietly in the air, as if waiting for something.
——And so, Frustana swallowed it whole.
-----------------
"boom!"
With the final roar, the Platinum was completely submerged in the dragon's breath.
Going back more than ten minutes ago, when Alestria and Metatron were urgently teleporting towards the Tianhe River, the other fleets had already headed towards the dragon.
Five hundred dragons are no longer an unacceptable number for the current people of Toril.
Now, the sides of countless airships are painted with various patterns to prove the glorious record of the ship in previous battles - and now, five hundred dragons are just one ship with three giant dragons to deal with.
Elastrid had just returned from the front lines when she witnessed the Platinum shooting down the dragon.
At that time, the Platinum was speeding across the sky.
This airship was quite conspicuous in the sky - while other airships used crystal fiberglass as their hulls, only the Platinum seemed to still use a wooden hull, as if it was the softest persimmon in the entire attack.
However, even if the dragon could successfully hit it, they would only discover in despair that the seemingly primitive Platinum was actually the most solid barrier in the sky.
Even so, when Emiya saw nearly a hundred dragons swarming towards the Platinum, her breathing couldn't help but quicken.
Of the five hundred dragons, nearly one-fifth were right in front of the Platinum.
Of course, he was not acting alone - more than ten airships, including one led by Elder Naif himself, were nearby.
However, this also means that each of them must kill at least ten dragons before they can finally win.
A lot of pressure.
When Alestria returned, the battle was at its most intense stage.
Looking up on the deck, all you could see were the wings of giant dragons bending in mid-air, and elementals flying everywhere, ready to make the crew of the Platinum into the bloodiest stew.
At this time, Emiya was paying attention to the situation of the artillery while keeping in touch with all directions.
Fortunately, since the fighting here is in full swing, the pressure in other directions will naturally be much lower.
In the most successful areas, the number of airships even outnumbered the dragons they faced. While the Platinum was still struggling, the airship fleet had already ended the battle.
"Elder Emiya, we have a clear path ahead now," the elder inquired. "Should we continue advancing? Do you require support?"
There was no need for support - the ammunition was not even half used up, and the Platinum was not even damaged.
The problem is that they cannot forget the goal of the campaign from the beginning.
At this moment, Yin suddenly jumped off the deck, came to the gun cabin, and said, "Emiya, tell them to stop moving forward... No, if you want to be safe, you should retreat."
"What?" Emilia, whose vision was limited, had no idea what was happening on the front line. "What happened?"
Yin said calmly, "The Tianhe River has disappeared. If my estimation is correct, anyone who dares to move forward at this time will be crushed to pieces."
Yin's voice naturally reached the other end of the communication crystal ball, but as usual, her words were often incoherent, so much so that many ships did not stop immediately, but subconsciously wanted to ask: "The Tianhe has indeed disappeared, but what does this mean?"
"Retreat immediately." Yin said without explanation, "Otherwise, death is imminent."
As if in response to her words, the next moment, accompanied by a dull roar and screams of terror, the scenes on several crystal balls suddenly turned dark, and then the crystal balls shattered.
And screams came from the surviving crystal ball: "...What is that?! A living river? Tail attack?!"
"The elemental storm has disappeared! The elemental storm we created has disappeared! That water tail has completely destroyed the elemental storm that covered the sky and the sun..."
"It's raining! Damn it! And it's acid rain!"
"Is it raining over there? Here I am seeing hailstones, almost burying the airship!"
In an instant, the war that seemed almost certain to win took a sharp turn for the worse.
Then, the Platinum also shook heavily.
Emiya shouted in astonishment: [What happened? ]
A behemoth launched a powerful tail swing at the Platinum—no, at this world. Mars said coldly, "Emmya, you missed an incomparably magnificent spectacle—a tail dozens of kilometers long, whistling with a terrifying roar, swung through the center of the world. With a single blow, it pierced through all storms, rocks, and flames, sweeping away everything in its path. Never before has this world been so peaceful."
【Also, the Tianhe River disappeared.】
At this moment, Yin looked towards the other side of the world and nodded: "By the way, the Thunder Flower should have disappeared as well."
Emiya took a deep breath and said, "How did you know about the Thunder Flower?"
Yin smiled: "——Because, right now, I am in their stomach."
Sixty-one time stops
While the battle was in full swing near Tianhe, there was an unspeakable silence near the Thunder Flower.
There was awe in this silence...even fear.
This is not the fear of the inferior towards the superior, but the fear that an ant would show when facing a dragon.
Near the thunder flower, the proud dragon can only be called an ant at this moment.
At this moment, the father and son of Frame could only follow the giant beast humbly, not daring to make a sound - they might have been the masters of a region, but they were not arrogant enough to act high and mighty in such an occasion.
The thunder flower has withered at this moment.
The giant dragon in the distance could see an endless expanse of thunderclouds in the sky, surging and speeding at an unimaginable speed.
——That was not a celestial phenomenon, but the air spirit Stavrid.
In fact, although the dragons of the Fritia Alliance act on their own, they are not isolated from information. Even so, only a very small number of dragons have seen the Wild Spirit with their own eyes, and no dragon can pass on the experience of fighting with the Wild Spirit.
The reason is simple: almost no dragon can survive the presence of the Wild Spirit.
The only survivor was the dragon who was the first to rebel and leave the Elemental Alliance.
Now, he is known as Kearney the Dragon King.
To this day, the title of Dragon King is not immune to challenges from up-and-coming powers. Gradually, some dragons who have never witnessed the Dragon King's majesty have begun to question why the supreme leader in a free alliance is the king?
Even Ash Frame might not have this idea in his mind.
Today, however, all disrespect faded.
Stavrid is an endless thundercloud.
And opposite the thundercloud is a "dragon".
From most angles, Dragon King Kearney is a giant dragon - he has wings and four legs, and his body is leaning forward and lying prone on the ground, a typical dragon appearance.
However, he is neither a five-colored dragon nor a metal dragon.
In fact, he is completely different from Abel's fellows. He does not have any characteristics of elemental alienation, so that any life will think of beautiful amethyst the moment they see him.
His scales were almost transparent and crystalline, reflecting a captivating purple in the sunlight. The undulating scales outlined the astonishing lines of his muscles. Unlike many people's imaginations, Kearney's appearance, by dragon standards, could even be described as elegant and gentle. His two sharp horns, resembling naturally grown crystal clusters, further emphasized this impression.
Yes, Dragon King Kearney finally left his kingdom and came to the front line of the war.
Beyond everyone's expectations - at the beginning of World War III, the planet's top combat forces have already come out in full force.
The people who were most shocked by Korney's appearance were the Halua people, who were allies and were lurking behind the Fritia Alliance army.
[…Corney, is it an Amethyst Dragon?! So there's a Gem Dragon on Abel?] With Archmage Halrua's knowledge, it was impossible for him to mistake Corney's textbook Amethyst Dragon appearance. Therefore, they understood the incredibleness of this scene even more than the average Freetia Alliance member. The telepathic connection had already erupted in a tizzy.
Dragons are a race, and it is impossible for a dragon species to appear out of thin air.
"Is that the point?" an elder from Haligad argued with the Halayach, as was his wont. "Whatever dragon he is, even if he's a song dragon, the issue now is his size! Is he an ordinary dragon? He can't be an ordinary dragon!"
The Dragon King Korney, who could shock the people of Halrua, was now exposing his entire body to everyone without any scruples.
A giant dragon's maximum size is likely to be around a hundred meters. The exact upper limit varies depending on the species. An exceptionally slender dragon might not exceed a hundred meters until its lifespan reaches its maximum. Even the most extravagantly long dragons would never exceed two hundred meters.
And now, countless dragons surrounded Kearney like fleas on his body.
Dragon King Kearney is a purple crystal dragon with a body length of over 10,000 meters.
Kearney looked at the endless thunderclouds and storm and said, "Don't you have anything to say? Accuse me of being a traitor? Rebuke me for overestimating my abilities."
However, Qihuang Ling did not answer. At the same time, the dragons around the Thunder Flower became slightly agitated as if they had heard something and took an offensive stance.
Kearney shook his head: "Then I do have something to say."
He glanced at the astonishing number of air dragons beneath the storm and said, "Frustana ate five hundred water dragons to urgently increase her strength. Why don't you do the same?"
The only answer he got was the thunder from the Wild Spirit.
Kearney lowered his head and said, "You have no patience, and neither do I."
At this moment, Stafford finally said, "Are you finished?"
As if time had stopped, thunderclouds obscured the sun and covered the entire sky in an instant.
-----------------
The battlefield where Emiya was located had become a mess.
Even though they had anticipated that Frustana's counterattack was imminent, they still couldn't help but tremble when they saw an entire mountain roaring towards them.
Ordinary people measure the distance and size of objects based on common sense, relying on changes in proportion to estimate the true information of the object. However, if the actual size of an object far exceeds the size in common sense, the strange feeling of this common sense being broken will quickly stimulate the human body's fear of the unknown.
Frustana did not hide her existence—or rather, there was nothing on the land of this planet that could hide her existence.
She is now floating in the sky, showing the world her scales that are shining in the sun.
From Emiya's distance, they could only vaguely perceive her as a sea serpent-shaped elemental creature, flinging inconspicuous sprays of water in their direction. From Emiya's height, they could even see the ripples created by the continuous waves.
Things get bigger when they're closer, and smaller when they're farther away. Even the largest objects appear smaller when they're far enough away. But this is also where fear arises: What if, when an object gets really close, you discover its actual size far exceeds your expectations?
The inconspicuous splash of water grew higher and higher, until finally the mere sound of the splashing water was more deafening than the thunder itself.
The storm that spread across the sky and the earth was easily pierced through with one blow, and the subsequent waves approached all battlefields unhindered.
At this moment, a single splash of water from the wave was already taller than the dragon itself, which was so close at hand. Its speed was also much faster than expected.
The Platinum didn't care about their dragon enemy at this moment. Mars had already controlled the airship to make the Platinum climb rapidly, but the airship's take-off speed was still too slow in this environment - Mars couldn't even feel the Platinum rising.
The Platinum flipped over at high speed and flew vertically into the sky.
"Mystra! The waves are rising faster than the airship is ascending!" The paladin immediately concluded, "Halrua's airship technology is truly too outdated!"
The figurehead of the Platinum Dragon God obviously reacted faster than them. At this time, it had already lit up with a brilliant platinum light, forming a hemispherical arc top blocking the Platinum and the huge waves.
——It’s not that it can’t generate a complete protective shield, but the intensity of this attack is too terrifying!
However, Frustana did not seem to inform her subordinates in advance, so the dragons lost their composure in the sudden attack and could only scramble to fly high for refuge.
They knew that Frustana would be very strong after she recovered, but they didn't say she would be this strong!
The energy contained in this genuine natural disaster is simply incomparable to that of new artillery!
But at this moment, Yin's voice was unusually calm: "Don't worry, after she recovered her strength, with the support of Silver Fire, it's normal for her strength to surge."
As if to confirm her statement, Frustana's uncontrollable ecstasy surged into everyone's mind: "...This is the Silver Fire...This is the Silver Fire! All these decades of dormancy and patience have been worth it! Even just a portion of Mystril's Silver Fire can bring such terrifying power."
[Hello?!] Emiya couldn't help but gasp at this moment, [Are you really helping her?]
"Of course," Yin replied. "If there's no reaction after swallowing it, how can I let her down?"
