“! Hajime-san!?”
"What was that light...?!? How careless! We should be wary of pillars of light in a world without the sun!"
Hajime was enveloped in a beam of light.
This light looked identical to the "Angel's Ladder" that could be seen everywhere in this space. These graceful pillars of light that illuminated this dreamlike world were actually the mighty light of God.
Although this beam of light looked different from the one they had seen in the Demon King's Castle, Shia and Tio both remembered the time Yue was captured because of it, and they looked at Hajime with great anxiety.
The two were about to run towards Hajime, but he stopped them with a look. He had a countermeasure prepared beforehand: a small pile bunker hidden on the outside of the prosthetic arm between the elbow and wrist.
Hajime pulled his wrist back as far as it would go, and a glowing red line appeared on the entire prosthetic limb, and sparks began to spurt out from the shoulder area.
However, just as Hajime was about to launch his attack—
"That light is the light of transference, which will lead you to meet your Beloved."
This made Hajime stop moving. Fried's words seemed to be true. The light shining on him didn't seem to have any adverse effects, but rather connected him to a certain space.
"Is that so? Then let him wait."
To show such an attitude in the face of God's welcome is simply arrogant to the extreme.
This sentence made Freed unable to bear it any longer, and the corner of his eye twitched. But Hajime was not going to pay attention to it.
However, Shia and Tio stopped Hajime.
"Mr. Hajime, go ahead."
"Yes. After all, it's a rare invitation. I will take care of it here."
Hajime opened his eyes wide, stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, the two of them interrupted him.
"Leave this to us, go ahead! — I've always wanted to say something like this!"
"That's right. 'Don't worry, we'll catch up soon!' That's the next thing you should say, right? Hehehe."
With these words, which sounded like they were about to raise a death flag, Rabbit and Trash Dragon exchanged a wink. Hajime wasn't sure whether to feel helpless or accuse them of speaking ill of their words; an indescribable complex expression crossed his face. However, even though they were speaking in a veiled manner, their eyes and tone were incredibly sincere. Hajime could discern the various feelings they were carrying at that moment.
One is worry. God has already intervened directly, and if we refuse the invitation now, we cannot predict what action God will take.
One was expectation. They finally had a chance to be in front of Yue, and they didn't want Hajime to miss this opportunity.
The first was confidence. They were confident they could overcome this difficulty, and they also believed that Hajime could save Yue on his own.
Therefore, Hajime made a decision and decided to accept the will and intentions of the two.
The interior of the light column began to be filled with a strong platinum-colored light, gradually covering Hajime's figure.
"Shia, Tio."
"Yes."
"Um."
Giving the two of them a look of complete trust, Hajime decided to move forward, leaving them with words.
"Don't hold back, ravage me to your heart's content. I'll do the same."
"As you command!"
"Hehe, leave it to me!"
The two men responded, with smiles as ferocious as beasts on their faces.
The next moment, the beam of light emitted a stronger light, carrying Hajime up into the sky before disappearing.
The two who stayed behind watched Hajime leave, then simultaneously put away their skyboards, each activating their 'Aero Power' and unfolding their 'Dragon Wings'.
Shia carried Veled Luken, tapping his shoulders and straightening his rabbit ears.
Tio twisted her neck, making a rattling sound on her shoulders, while showing a charming smile.
"You just said you were going to torture and kill us, didn't you? Don't make us laugh, huh."
"Whether it's before or after, you'll always be the one being abused. You're such a man who can't learn."
The aggressive smile and the domineering aura that filled his body did not seem like the reaction of someone surrounded by nearly two thousand powerful monsters.
This was arrogance, and Fried narrowed his eyes.
"You must fight with all your might, and don't die before Nanyun Hajime. Before you die, don't forget to wail at the top of your lungs, letting your screams resound throughout the divine realm. This is the only thing you can do to relieve the Lord's boredom."
"Enough of the nonsense. Crushing, pouncing, beating, exploding, and killing in a standoff are all pretty much the same thing. But I can let you and your pets choose the way you want to die, and I'll make sure none of you survive."
"You are overestimating your own abilities. I will teach you the difference in strength."
Both sides are thus provocative towards each other.
The atmosphere was tense and on the verge of breaking out. Both sides erupted with cold murderous intent and scorching fighting spirit.
Then──
"Kill them!"
"Look at me, I'm going to kill you!"
"Kill!"
War is about to break out.
Volume 12, Chapter 5: Fierce Battle in the Sky
As expected, the first blow was a lethal attack from all sides.
A gray-white dragon launched a flood of aurora from the sky, pouring down like a torrential rain. A three-headed wolf spewed fire from its back, sweeping in like a tsunami. A horde of centaurs (Aha-Tod) unleashed magical shockwaves from both sides, closing in like a wall.
Freed launched an unavoidable, wide-area attack from the front, and a stream of white feathers with a disintegrating effect shot down like a meteor shower.
Everywhere they looked was filled with the threat of death, but the two remained calm.
A red ball three meters in diameter appeared above Shia's head and fell due to gravity. Shia turned her upper body and raised Veled Luken horizontally.
"Go ahead, ahhhhhhhh!"
He swung the bat and struck out. With a sharp metallic clang, the red ball—the kendama—soared like a cannonball.
It was a super-massive metal block made from compressed Azantium ore, and its surface was coated with a seal stone.
The destructive power of a high-speed collision at nearly 200 kilometers per hour is unimaginable.
The wall formed by the magic shockwave was partially shattered, as easily as a mud wall. The several horse-headed giants on the kendama track were also easily shattered like confetti.
Then, Shia threw herself through the hole created in the wall of the shockwave, and of course, she was unharmed.
Meanwhile, Tio also took action.
"That's not good enough."
She leaped toward the tsunami-like flames. The scorching waves engulfed Tio, but she forced her way through, shielding her face with only the sleeves of her kimono. As a black dragon that controlled wind and fire, she possessed the greatest endurance among dragonkin.
Even in human form, it has extremely high fire resistance, and now that its performance is sublimated, its resistance is even stronger.
Furthermore, the kimono-style combat suit she wore was handmade by Hajime himself, with fingernail-sized dragon scales sewn into it like chain mail, giving it considerable defensive power. Of course, it could withstand this level of flames.
After crossing the fiery crimson waves, Tio spread out her five fingers and stretched her hand forward.
Then, five black rays shot out. It was a "compressed roar" emanating from his fingertips, capable of piercing the back of the encirclement. A single flick of his finger ripped through space, melting all the monsters in their path.
This is Tio's new move, called "Dragon Claw".
At this time──
──Take two steps to the right, descend slightly, and then take three steps forward.
"Yes, thanks."
This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and Tio reflexively did as she was told, while expressing her gratitude.
Then, a massive aurora shot down from where Tio had been a moment ago. As she lowered her altitude, countless tentacles swung overhead. As she moved forward, pure white bombardment streaked past from behind.
Shia also grasped the chain connecting the kendama and Veledruken, spinning and swinging it, while continuing to stride and move in the air as if dancing.
She spun through the air, knocking any physical and magical attacks from the monsters completely empty. Simultaneously, the spinning kendama unleashed a powerful whirlwind of lethal force, shattering the surrounding monsters one after another.
Even though a large number of white feathers swept towards her, they were completely unable to hit Xia. It seemed as if the feathers were actively avoiding her.
——Apocalyptic Vision, a derivative of the inherent magic "Future Vision".
The ability to glimpse a few seconds into the future at will. Through this ability, Shia can predict the trajectory of an attack and find a safe location in advance.
In addition, through the improved version of the "Telepathic Stone", Shia can also predict Tio's future and warn her.
Of course, the enemy's attack density was too high, and there was almost nowhere to hide.
So the two of them fought back and fought their way out, constantly avoiding threats by the tiniest hair.
"Innocent."
The two did not hear this cold voice, but Xia's precognitive ability saw the result.
"Ms. Tio! It's a space-time gate!"
Xia was anxious for a moment and couldn't help but warn.
In an instant, Tio's eyes were filled with an entire aurora.
The dragon's breath shot from the sky by the gray-white dragon disappeared mid-sentence, and from all directions and angles, it surrounded Tio in a spherical formation like a gun array, shooting towards her.
That was Freed's [World Transmigration]. He completely surrounded Tio with a [Gate of Spacetime], and from within it, the gray-white dragon's breath was emitted.
In this saturation attack that left no blind spots and was impossible to avoid, Tio's figure was completely submerged.
But──
"...It's really hard."
"Well, that strike was quite impressive. However, it's nothing compared to the Master's reward."
After the Aurora Dragon's breath subsided, the encircled figure could be seen, but its appearance was completely different from a moment before. Its smooth, tender skin was completely covered in black scales, its entire body shrouded in darkness, with only its golden eyes gleaming brightly. Its appearance resembled a humanoid dragon.
──Dragonization: Transformed into a composite magical dragon scale layered armor.
While maintaining its human form, it covers its entire body with layers of black scales to enhance its defenses.
White smoke was coming out of Tio's body, and she seemed to have been slightly injured, but the damage was not serious.
The power of this Aurora Dragon Breath was comparable to the dragon breath that had battered Shigeki in the crater of the Great Volcano. The fact that she could withstand such a powerful dragon breath proved Tio's strong defense.
"It's my turn to return the favor!"
Tio's upper body leaned back sharply. Seeing her face facing upward, Fried judged that she was going to attack the gray-white dragon above, so he set up a "Space-Time Gate" to allow Tio's dragon breath to hit her.
However, his judgment was completely wrong.
Tio's chest swelled up considerably, and she continued to inhale air with a sound. And then—
—Roar!
Though in human form, the roar she uttered was undoubtedly that of a dragon. It wasn't a beam of dragon breath, but it still had a definite attacking effect.
──Soul magic attacks the soul.
Use magic to directly impact the soul, forcing it to lose consciousness or become dizzy.
Tio let her magic ride on her roar, transforming it into an invisible sonic attack that could damage both the body and the soul.
Therefore, a local "space-time gate" is meaningless.
The roar and black magic waves reached the sky, and the gray-white dragons within a 200-meter radius above their heads began to convulse as if they had been electrocuted, then rolled their eyes and fell one after another.
This move was named "Dragon Power".
Not only the gray-white dragon in the sky was affected, but also the white leopard, three-headed wolf, and chimera that were rapidly approaching Tio. Even those who were not directly affected were forced to retreat and stop.
Of course, Tio would not miss these flaws. She stretched out her arms to the left and right, and instantly fired out "Compressed Spiral Roar".
Two black flashes pierced through and destroyed all monsters within a few hundred meters of the beam. Without checking the monsters that had been defeated, Tio began to spin her body like a dance.
She turned gracefully, lifted the sleeves of her kimono elegantly, and waved her long, shiny black hair.
The elegant charm displayed on the battlefield, like traditional Japanese dance, resulted in tragic consequences.
The black flash swept across, drawing a beautiful circle and cutting hundreds of monsters around into several sections at the same time.
"Tsk, Uranus! This time, I must avenge my humiliation!"
Seeing Tio casually attacking him, Fried muttered in displeasure, activated the "Space Blocking Barrier" to block the black flash, and said this to his partner.
