Chapter 5: The hidden third gargoyle takes action

The sharp roar like a wild beast rushed straight into the sky above Akademi, and immediately made many students in the entire training ground raise their eyes.

The same thing happened to Lux and Lisha who were on the field. They both looked in the direction of the roar at the same time.

Hearing this familiar roar, Reilly's eyes, which had always been smiling, suddenly opened, and she spoke with a gloomy face and frowned eyebrows.

"Could it be that..."

Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly, and her deep blue eyes looked straight in one direction.

A familiar aura of murder and madness appeared in Luo Mio's perception.

Then, a black figure of the same size as a Drag-Knight equipped with a general-purpose Drag-Ride suddenly appeared behind one of the Drag-Knights who was in charge of deploying the energy barrier.

Then--

"boom----!"

The sound of an explosion suddenly rang out from the stone pillars behind the training ground.

When everyone looked over, the student Drag-Knight who was in charge of deploying the energy barrier had lost one of his mecha arms, and fell down with his Drag-Ride, and fell into a coma.

On the stone pillar, there was an Abyss with a winged demon appearance, bone-like wings behind it, and a pair of bloody red eyes that were as crazy as killing. It roared at all the students in the training ground.

“Chichichichi…Gahhhhhhh————!”

In an instant, all the students in the training ground screamed in fear and terror.

"Ah ah ah ah ah?!"

“Why, why did an Abyss appear here——!”

"And... it's a gargoyle type?! Why, why didn't the alarm go off?"

You know, Crossfield, a fortress city located near the ruins, is a city that also serves as a defense base.

If an Abyss appeared in the surroundings, the alarm would be sounded immediately, but now an Abyss suddenly appeared in the sky above the Royal Officer Academy in Crossfield without any trace.

Crossfield is dozens of kilometers away from the ruins. Even if they fly over, the surrounding bunkers and checkpoints should be able to contact them immediately.

Reilly looked at the gargoyle and muttered through gritted teeth.

"It was exactly the same as last night."

The same thing happened last night. Without any bunker or checkpoint alarms, she suddenly encountered a gargoyle-type Abyss in the jungle not far from Crossfield.

And that is the case now.

Then, Laigeli, who was standing on the referee's stand, gave the order immediately.

"All instructors, and the three members of the Triad, lead the students to the school building as soon as possible!"

"Everyone piloting a Wyvern, deploy the barrier against the gargoyles again!"

But...

The students who were screaming and panicking in the audience seats were Drag-Knights’ officer candidates, but very few of them had actual combat experience.

Even the several Drag-Knight students who were stationed on the stone pillars in the auditorium and were responsible for opening the barriers were so frightened when they saw this that they dared not move for a moment, and they did not even have the slightest thought of fighting back.

But just as the students were on their way to evacuate, several bright red light bullets like bullets suddenly shot out from the sky towards the fleeing students below.

"Danger!"

Fortunately, the girl with short blue hair who was in the lead was the first to notice the attack from the sky, and immediately stopped with the students.

The habits of the Abyss are very similar to those of carnivorous animals.

It will immediately attack and hunt down the target that is in a counterattack posture or the prey that is trying to escape.

However, this attack also caused a group of students to fall into panic and chaos, and they began to flee in all directions.

Faced with such a situation for the first time, the female students were also in a state of embarrassment.

Then everyone looked up at the sky.

I saw another gargoyle flying in the sky, with bone wings growing back behind it and its sharp, ferocious mouth opened towards the bottom.

“Chichichichi…Gahhhhhhh——!”

"There's actually another one?!"

Seeing this, Reilly, Legli and some experienced students all showed shocked expressions.

At this moment, the bone wings behind one of the gargoyles instantly turned red, and the red wings attacked Lisha like a light bullet.

Lisha looked at the incoming attack and didn't react immediately.

When the attack was about to hit Lisha, Lux rushed out immediately.

"「Howling Roar」!"

Lux stood in front of Lisha, and he flew a blue vortex shock wave forward while driving his Wyvern, and blocked all the attacks from the gargoyles.

Then, while charging towards the gargoyle that attacked with his general-purpose Machine Dragon, Lux spoke to Lisha.

“Lisha-sama, I’ll hold one back. I’ll leave the other one to you!”

As he said that, he saw Lux driving a Wyvern and getting entangled with another gargoyle in the sky.

After taking a deep look at Lux, Lisha came back to her senses and looked at the gargoyle on the other side.

"You don't need to tell me..."

Then they saw Lux and Lisha in the sky fighting with the two gargoyles respectively.

At this moment, Lisha looked at the gargoyle in the center above the ring, and then her eyes flickered, and she stretched out her hand to grasp the mechanical shell sword of Tiamat hanging on her waist.

The next second, huge particles of light gathered above Lisha's head, and eventually formed a golden array that looked like a magic array. In the center of the array was a figure that looked like the dragon Tiamat, the goddess of creation.

"In the name of Fuyuto God, --"Voice of Heaven"!!!"

As Lisha raised the Mechanical Shell Sword and chopped it down heavily, a huge force of gravity instantly pressed the gargoyle under the ring, tightly sticking it to the ground.

"Divine Equipment"

It is said that only the Divine Drag-Ride has this special ability, and the true nature of each ability is almost unknown.

The divine equipment of Tiamat is to control gravity.

Then, under Lisha's control, the sixteen aerial fortresses behind her launched a swift and fierce attack and hit the gargoyle hard.

There was only a crisp shattering sound, and the gargoyle's core was broken, causing a small explosion and then disappearing into thin air.

Seeing this scene, Lisha was also breathing heavily. The sixteen Aerial Fortresses that returned behind her were reduced to four again, and the seven dragon heads in her hands also disappeared.

He used two of Tiamat's special weapons in succession, and then used the 'Divine Armor'.

Plus, the battle with Lux lasted for more than five minutes.

In this situation, it was already very good that her 'Tiamat' did not go berserk.

Now her mental and physical strength can be said to be reaching its limit.

In the sky, Lux who was entangled with another gargoyle also revealed the origin of his title of "the weakest and undefeated".

Facing the crazy attacks of the gargoyle, Lux did not launch any attacks. He simply relied on defense and evasion to avoid the attacks of the gargoyle again and again without any injury.

After seeing Lisha deal with the gargoyle below, Lux breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the gargoyle in front of him that was struggling with him.

"Then, just wait for the instructor..."

But at this moment, Lux suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of the audience seats from the corner of his eyes.

There, there was a girl with the same hair color as him. The girl looked as delicate and cute as a doll in a high-end antique shop, and she exuded a graceful, calm and mature temperament.

The girl was his biological sister, Airi Arcadia, a descendant of the royal family of the old Arcadia Empire and a first-year student at this academy.

But the next second, Lux’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Because at some point, a tall dark figure mysteriously appeared behind Airi, and raised its dark, slender arms with sharp claws, and the claws were emitting purple light.

“——Airi!”

Airi, who was sitting below the audience, was watching her brother yelling at her. She seemed to have noticed something and her face suddenly turned cold and pale, then she turned around abruptly.

The bright red eyes filled with murderous and violent energy stared at her intently, with hideous bone wings spread out behind him, dark and slender arms, and a faint breathing sound like a wild beast coming out of the hideous mouth.

Suddenly, a third gargoyle appeared behind her mysteriously!

Seeing the gargoyle's sharp claws emitting purple light suddenly stretched out towards her, Airi couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Um..."

But after four or five seconds, Airi couldn't help but slowly open her eyes because of the awkward feeling that nothing had happened.

Then when she opened her eyes and looked, her expression was suddenly stunned.

She saw the gargoyle, which was less than half a meter away from her, with sharp claws emitting purple light. Now it was trembling slightly as if it was caught by someone and wanted to break free, but was unable to break free.

On the gargoyle's outstretched forearm, there was a slender, white human arm that suddenly grabbed it. Although it looked extremely fragile, it seemed to have a strength as heavy as mountains, and it firmly grasped the gargoyle's slender arm.

When Airi looked carefully, she saw a figure on the stairs above her left side stretched out her slender right hand to grab the gargoyle's arm, preventing the gargoyle's sharp claws from hurting her.

The figure was wearing a Royal Officer Academy uniform similar to theirs, and the long dark blue skirt behind her was floating slightly in the breeze.

All I heard was the clear and pleasant voice of that figure speaking slowly and calmly.

"After hiding for so long, you finally couldn't help yourself after seeing your own kind being killed."

After saying that, the slender white hand grabbed the gargoyle's arm like a machine.

Then he suddenly threw it towards the arena.

Then the gargoyle was seen being thrown out in an instant, and then fell heavily into the stone wall on the other side of the venue.

The figure turned around and looked at Airi.

"Are you okay?"

Chapter 4000: ( words) The Spear of Stars that Symbolizes the World!

“——Airi!”

Krulcifer, who was always paying attention to the battle in the training ground, stood in a corner and observed quietly.

Following Lux’s gaze and voice, Krulcifer also looked over and saw the third gargoyle that was hiding and about to attack Airi.

This scene also made Krulcifer’s eyes move.

You know, in order to defeat a gargoyle, several flying and land machine dragons must work together to defeat it successfully, and there is a possibility of getting injured.

Of the two gargoyles that appeared on the field, one was killed by Lisha’s Tiamat, and the other was held back by Lux’s superior dodging skills, so even though she was also a holder of the Divine Drag-Ride, she did not need to take action.

But the appearance of the third gargoyle broke everyone's expectations. Even Reilly had never expected that a third gargoyle would appear.

Now, because Lisha had been operating Tiamat for a long time and using two special weapons and the Divine Ragout, she no longer had the extra energy and spirit to continue fighting.

Seeing the third gargoyle, Krulcifer also stretched out her hand and grasped the Mechanical Shell Sword of the Divine Drag-Ride at her waist.

But the next second, Krulcifer’s blue eyes suddenly froze.

"Eh?"

In her sight, a figure appeared behind Airi at some point, and stretched out his hand to quickly grab the arm of the gargoyle that was attacking Airi.

"...she is?"

-

"Are you okay?"

Airi was also stunned when she saw the figure turning around in front of her.

The figure had an exquisitely beautiful face and a stern and handsome temperament, with deep blue eyes as clear as clean and transparent lake water. Airi didn't know if it was an illusion, but in a trance she saw herself standing on a vast and boundless sea with white clouds floating faintly on the sea. When Airi looked down, she saw her own figure reflected below and the sky above her head.

And in the sky, countless bright stars and numerous stars emit their own dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, Airi felt like she was in a world.

Of course, this is exactly what happens in a split second.

Airi reacted and shook her head.

"Ah, I'm fine..."
