Who is not a lawyer?

"It's actually... Diabolos."

Hearing Lisha’s words, the others all showed surprise.

'Diablos'

It was a ferocious medium-sized Abyss that was powerful enough to destroy a small city.

The 'Gargoyle' that Luo Mio had fought before was of the same flying type, but its danger level was several times that of the Gargoyle.

While everyone else's eyes were focused on Diabolos, Luo Mio's gaze fell on the ruins below.

"The Sixth Ruins: Hakoniwa"...

Chapter 17: The Mutation Begins

Seeing Diavolo's unimaginable speed, he suddenly flew towards Luo Mio and Nokuto.

Lisha couldn’t help but shout out.

"Nokuto! Bianca-sensei!"

Just as Diabolos rushed in front of the two men, a very precise attack beam instantly hit Diabolos from above.

Above, Krulcifer was holding the Freezing Breath Projection sniper rifle and aiming at Diabolos.

But in an instant, Diabolos sensed the attack launched by Krulcifer and dodged it easily in an instant.

"what?"

Even Krulcifer showed a very surprised expression.

The angle and timing of the attack just now were perfect, but at the moment it was about to hit, Diabolos dodged it easily.

The reason why Diabolos could not be hit was because of its extraordinary burst speed.

Every time Diabolos kicked hard in the air, the powerful propulsion impact produced a very obvious air explosion sound around.

The huge black wings spread out behind him kept Diabolos stable when he was flying at high speed.

The strong and heavy sound of the air explosion also drew Luo Mio's attention.

When Luo Mio turned her eyes and looked at Diabolos.

"!"

Diabolos' figure suddenly stopped as if he had braked a car.

The bright red blood-red eyes looked straight at Luo Mio. Just at that moment, when Luo Mio's azure blue eyes looked at it.

Its body instinctively turned into something like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into its body. Then, an incomparable terrifying pressure pressed down on it like a mountain, forcing it to stop immediately.

And at the same time——

"There!"

Krulcifer held the pale white sniper rifle and suddenly fired a shot at Diabolos.

Because of Luo Mio, Diabolos's reaction was not connected immediately. Although his body shifted slightly, he was still hit on the arm.

In a split second, its arm was frozen by the 'Freezing Breath Projection'.

But even so, Krulcifer still showed a look of disbelief.

In her right eye, a blue and white divine array pattern covered her pupil.

Behind the driver of the Fafnir, there is also a slightly larger blue and white divine array pattern.

Fafnir's Divine Equipment - 'Wise Blood'!

Its ability is the powerful ability to predict the future several seconds.

In battle, if you can predict the enemy's actions and direction in the next few seconds, then the scales of victory in the battle will tip to your side.

However, Diabolos' extraordinary speed and reaction ability always allowed him to dodge Krulcifer's attacks to the extreme, and this was also due to Luo Mio's glance back just now.

If it weren’t for Luo Mio, Diabolos wouldn’t even have been hit by Krulcifer’s attack just now.

And because of being hit by Krulcifer’s attack, Diabolos instantly let out a roar of anger.

His figure instantly turned into a series of afterimages that shuttled between the firepower of the "Knights", but he did not get close to Luo Mio.

On the other side, Bao Zeliduo also chuckled in a mocking manner from behind.

"It's just a mere Abyss. Compared to the Ragnarok, it's just a piece of cake!"

After saying that, he removed his own 'Land-War Machine Dragon' armor, drew out another Mechanical Shell Sword, and piloted his Divine Machine Dragon 'Aigi Dahaka'.

Unlike 'Bahamut', 'Tiamat', and 'Fafnir' which are all Flying Types, Hozerido's 'Aigi Dahaka' is a Land Combat Type.

The body of the machine was burning with a deep blue color like the deep night, and it was a Divine Drag-Ride covered in heavy armor!

Baozerido looked at Diabolos flying through the sky, his mouth corners slightly raised, and said calmly and confidently: "Well, now it's my turn."

While saying this, Hoseredo also glanced at Luo Mio in the hands of Nokuto who was retreating behind everyone.

Then, the guns connected to Aiki Dahaka's shoulders were seen to activate instantly.

Purple light converged from the two gun muzzles.

"boom----!"

The terrifying purple beam slammed towards Diabolos fiercely.

'Two-Headed Demon Jaw', Aigi Dahaka's special weapon!

Diabolos flew into the air in a flash, dodging Bozerido's attack.

Then Hozerid came behind Krulcifer and placed his Dragon-Arm on the dragon shoulder of Krulcifer’s Fafnir.

"As my future wife, you only need to stand here and admire me as I fight."

Hearing what Hozerido said, Krulcifer frowned slightly and spoke to Hozerido with a cold face.

"Could you please stop touching me so casually?"

After saying that, Krulcifer shook off Aigi Dahaka’s arm and went with everyone else to deal with Diabolos.

Hozerido just laughed at this, and his eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Krulcifer's Fafnir.

But on the other side, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze was fixed on 'Aigi Dahaka' who had just come into contact with Krulcifer's 'Fafnir'.

Just as the mechanical arm of 'Aigi Dahaka' was placed on the dragon shoulder of 'Fafnir' of Krulcifer, a breath of energy belonging to 'Fafnir' quietly flowed into the body of 'Aigi Dahaka'. No...it was more like the power was taken away by 'Aigi Dahaka' rather than flowing into 'Aigi Dahaka'.

Bao Zelido also noticed Luo Mio's gaze, and thought that it was his handsome attack just now that attracted Luo Mio's attention, and he showed a very confident and proud look.

But Luo Mio curled the corners of his mouth and spoke softly.

"I see, this is the true form of 'Thousand Magic', right..."

Suddenly, a blue divine array pattern similar to "Wise Blood" appeared behind "Aiki Dahaka", and the key parts of his body emitted purple fluorescence.

Then, Hozerido controlled the 'Aigi Dahaka' and suddenly threw the Machine Dragon Axe in his hand towards one of the flight paths of Diabolos.

The Machine Dragon Axe spun rapidly, and as if it had eyes, it appeared on the flight path of Diabolos who was flying through the firepower, and then slashed heavily on his devilish black body.

Diabolos, who was hit by this blow, was also severely injured instantly, and the places on his body that were hit by the Machine Dragon Axe began to show traces of cracks.

Then, in the next second, Diabolos began to roar miserably, and blue blood began to gush out from the wound, as if the core was hit by the Machine Dragon Axe.

At the same time, a dazzling blue light and a crackling sound of electricity began to burst out from the wound.

Diabolos' entire body was torn into pieces, and the light became more and more dazzling.

Lisha who saw this scene immediately spoke loudly to everyone through the dragon voice.

"Not good! Everyone, prepare to resist the impact! Use all your strength to cast a barrier!"

At the same time, Lux on the other side also noticed that something was wrong with Krulcifer.

Luo Mio's eyes moved, and her gaze shifted from Diabolos who was about to explode to the "Sixth Ruins - Box Garden" below.

"This is..."

Then Luo Mio turned her gaze back to Krulcifer who was standing there in a daze.

Slightly narrowing her eyes, Luo Mio glanced at Nokuto who was concentrating on defense, and then her attire quietly changed into a light blue Valkyrie armor 'Brilliant Knight·Moon Soul'.

A light blue barrier appeared on Luo Mio's body.

Suddenly, Luo Mio disappeared...

Chapter 18: The interior of the ruins.

"boom----------!"

A powerful explosion suddenly occurred in the sky above the "Sixth Ruins - Box Garden", and a gorgeous explosion suddenly bloomed like a flower.

The terrifying impact even made everyone in the Knights close their eyes, and they endured the impact and high temperature brought by the explosion and used the Machine Dragon Barrier.

But no one noticed that in order to protect Krulcifer from Fafnir's out-of-control runaway, Lux helped her to resist the strong airflow generated by Diabolos's self-explosion, and then a magical scene appeared. As Krulcifer lost control, the "Sixth Ruins - Small Garden" also began to shine brightly.

But because of the current situation, not many people noticed the unusual changes before their eyes.

Then, when the heat from the explosion completely disappeared, everyone came back to their senses.

Lisha spoke first.

"Everyone, are you okay?"

"fine..."

Hearing everyone’s voices, Lisha also hurriedly asked Lux.

"Are you okay, Lux?"

"..."

But the only answer she got was silence.

And Lisha also looked around in a hurry and found that... not only Lux but also Krulcifer was missing.

At this time, Nokuto’s voice also reached Lisha’s ears.

"Lisha-sama, Teacher Bianca is missing."

Hearing Nokuto’s words, Lisha, Tillfarr and Sharis also looked behind them hastily.

Luo Mio, who was supposed to be on the arm of Nokuto’s special machine dragon, had disappeared.

"Nokuto, just before the impact, Bianca-sensei was still on your arm, right?"

"Yes. The teacher was still on my arm just now, but after the explosion, when I reacted, the teacher was gone."

"..."

Looking at Lux and Krulcifer who had disappeared from the crowd, Lisha narrowed her eyes slightly and thought.

Sharis on the side also flew over, and glanced at Bao Zelido who was searching for Luo Mio behind him.

He whispered to Lisha.

“I don’t know where they went, but it seems that Bianca-sensei went to protect Lux and Krulcifer.”

Lisha also nodded slightly.

"Um..."

"I guess he was sucked in by the ruins."

Lisha, who was familiar with the Sixth Ruins, Hakoniwa, then said, “Now, let’s search the area first. We cannot let anyone outside the academy know the identities and origins of Lux and Bianca-sensei.”

The former was the 'Black Hero' who destroyed the Old Empire five years ago, and the latter was a human who was not a Drag-Knight but had abilities that surpassed those of the Drag-Rides and Divine Drag-Rides and could easily destroy more than thirty Gargoyles in one fell swoop.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the identities of both must be concealed.

Even within the academy, many people who knew Luo Mio's identity were told by Reilly and Lisha not to reveal any information about Luo Mio easily.

Sharis nodded.

"I see."

And on the other side.
