Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

71. The battle is not over yet

Sieg woke up in the afternoon of the next day.

Although [One Sword Shura] is a self-destructive move that uses up all the strength within one minute, it does not produce too many side effects on the body. At most, it will make the person extremely tired, and he will be able to fully recover after a good sleep.

However, he did not wake up on the Crainsheed.

"You're awake."

After opening his eyes, the first thing Sieg saw was a familiar-looking ceiling, and at the same time, a familiar voice came into his ears.

He sat up and looked in the direction where the voice came from. The Saint of Time, who was wearing a black dress and had her face covered by a black veil, came into his eyes.

"........What's your number?"

"My manufacturing number is 24009, Master Saint of Flame."

As expected, it was not No. 19835. Her words would not be veiled in front of Sieg.

And since the other Saint of Time was staying by his side, coupled with this environment...

"Am I in the Sun God Cult?"

"Yes, this is your room. It seems that you have not yet recovered from your overwork. Do you need me to use recovery magic for you?"

"...Well, thank you. By the way, tell me what happened after I lost consciousness. I... just remember that I didn't completely block the light that fell from the sky, and then..."

Sieg scratched his head.

[Waking up in the Sun God Cult], this fact is consistent with the plan he had already designed in his mind. Before attacking the maze fortress, Sieg... or Brunhilde had considered various situations, and among the many plans, there was one that was like this -

[If Sieg uses the One-Sword Shura at the end of the battle, it will not be recovered by the Crimsheed, but by the Cult of the Sun.]

Although this involves certain risks, there is nothing wrong with doing so as it will not arouse suspicion from the Sun God Cult.

If Sieg was still missing after such a great war, the Cult of the Sun would surely be shaken to a certain extent.

However, it was also true that Sieg didn't remember what happened after that. He seemed to have the impression that someone helped to block the blow after he fell, but who it was... he couldn't remember clearly.

"I understand. Please allow me to touch you."

The Saint of Time gently held Sieg's hand, and a faint emerald green light with a hint of coolness lit up and slowly flowed into Sieg's body, causing Sieg's limbs to wake up little by little.

Is this the healing magic of the Sun God Cult?

"One day ago, after observing you raiding the Roaring Blood Clan Fortress near Hell Valley from a high altitude, the Cult immediately organized a rescue team and was ready to go and pick you up at any time."

"After that, we observed the magic reactions of the Heavy Armored Dragon, the Machine Dragon, and the Words Dragon one after another. We inferred that you were fighting against three higher-level dragons alone, so we wanted to send the Saint of Rainbow and the Saint of Machinery to support you. However, before our support arrived, we observed the attack of the Scaled Dragon King first."

Although there is almost the entire Asia between the Sun God Cult and the Scaled Blood Clan, the Scaled King's attack range is extremely large, and he will launch cross-continental attacks on the Cult's headquarters at any time. Therefore, the Cult knows very well who is responsible for the light that fell from the sky.

"The attack of the Scale King was eventually blocked by an extremely powerful magic. We speculate that it was an application of gravity magic that could swallow everything infinitely. The attack of the Scale King was therefore blocked."

"It will be a few minutes before the two saints arrive at the labyrinth fortress. Please watch."

Freeing up one hand, the Saint of Time handed a tablet to Sieg.

It now displays a picture taken from a high place. Judging from the terrain, it should be near the Hell Valley. However, the Hell Valley, which should have run through the continent, is now cut in half. On the side close to the Sun God Cult, the land seems to have been hollowed out, with a gate to hell with a diameter of more than two kilometers, which has become the most eye-catching scene in the photo.

"This pit was left by the magic that blocked the attack of the Scale King. You were found by the Saint of Rainbow at the edge of the pit and brought back to Amen by her. After examination, it was confirmed that your body had almost completed self-repair due to its extraordinary regenerative ability. The remaining problem was only excessive physical exhaustion. Therefore, you were not sent to the medical area, but instead brought back to your personal residence, where I will be responsible for your care."

Having said that, the Saint of Time also stopped her healing magic.

There was nothing wrong with Sieg's body to begin with, the healing magic was just to help him replenish his energy.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"...No more, you go down first, I will rest for a while by myself."

"I understand."

The Saint of Time stood up and said, "Since I am the only one staying with you, I have taken the liberty of borrowing the room next to yours to wait. You can call me directly if you need anything. Then I will go downstairs to prepare food for you. You have not eaten for a day, so you must be very hungry."

"Wait...you're the only one here?"

Ziggy frowned.

"What's going on? Where are the other 19 Saints of Time?"

"Currently, they are all fighting on the front line." The Saint of Time explained, "Thanks to your heroic fighting, the Roaring Blood Clan's stronghold on the front line has been completely destroyed. With Hell Valley suffering such a huge destruction, the Cult of God believes that this is a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Roaring Blood Clan. Now, several Dragon Slayers are leading the troops in the attack."

"And in order to ensure the strength of the front line, the Time Saints beside each Dragon Slayer have been transferred over, leaving only one to take care of their daily lives - by the way, your weapon is there."

After saying this, the Saint of Time left.

Looking in the direction pointed by the Saint of Time, Sieg saw the Claw Demon Sword leaning against the wall.

"...It was brought back with me... I guess I have to find a chance to return it to Kamui later. I don't know what his condition is like, but he should still be alive, right?"

After all, it was that guy, and Sieg didn't think he would just die like that.

If he died now, Sieg would not let him go and would definitely kill him.

"So......"

(——Ms. Brunhilde, can you hear me? Please explain the current situation to me.)

[As you command, Lord Sieg]

Brunhilde's voice echoed in Sieg's mind.

72. Shouldn’t this be shot back?

Along with the voice ringing in his head, Brunhilde's figure appeared on the tablet in Sieg's hand.

[Basically, the situation is the same as what the Saint of Time said]

[After the duration of your One Sword Shura ended, Ms. Edwards wanted to help you resist the attack of the Scale King, but Ms. Tina got in front of you before that, used One Sword Shura to greatly increase her own magic power, and created a pseudo-black hole to swallow the attack of the Scale King.]

(Ms. Tina?)

The somewhat chaotic memories in Sieg's mind became much clearer.

(How is she now?)

[She woke up before you half an hour ago and has now returned to the Roaring Blood Clan, but for some reason she returned all the furniture to her room on the Crimsheed.]

Did Tina return all the furniture that she had given her?

This kind of operation made Sieg frown. What did she mean by this? Was she going to completely sever ties with the Heklinshid? But Sieg still had some questions to ask her.

"...Forget it, since she did this, let's just leave it like this for now."

After a long silence, Sieg sighed softly.

"But it really surprised me. When did Tina learn the One-Sword Shura?"

The essence of this move is actually very simple, that is, relying on extraordinary concentration to actively destroy the survival instinct and tap into all the power that should not be used. But it is easier said than done. The only ones who can do it on the entire Klinshid are Sieg and Edwards, not even Xijing Ningyin and Stella.

Of course, Ning Yin could definitely do it if she wanted to. She is also a warrior who has studied martial arts to a very deep level. Although she can't do it now, when she wants to use this trick, she will definitely be able to use it easily.

But Tina actually learned this trick without saying a word...

"If Miss Tina becomes an enemy in the future, it will be really troublesome~~~"

Having said that, there wasn't much strangeness on Sieg's face. He just smiled gently, as if he was very happy that Tina had learned the One-Sword Shura.

"So, what about the others?"

[Before the people from the Sun God Cult arrived, Miss Edwards and the others had already completed the evacuation. Now they have all been treated and are undergoing self-training in the training room.]

(There are people injured?)

[Yes. Miss Setsuna and Miss Daohua were both injured in the battle, but it was not serious, just skin injuries. After examination, they did not need healing hot springs and have been treated in the medical room. ]

[Also, Mr. Kamui had already left on his own before that.]

Did Shenwei wake up and leave yesterday?

Sieg couldn't help but glance at the Claw Sword leaning against the bed. Since he woke up so early, did he... not find the sword? Or did the Thunder Claw turn into the Demon Claw and he didn't recognize it?

(…What about the situation on the front line? Is it the same as what the Saint of Time said?)

[Yes, I project the image directly onto your device]

"Crack!"

The screen of the tablet in his hand shook, and Brunhilde's figure quickly shrank and moved to the upper left corner of the screen. In the large empty screen, the live broadcast of the battle near Hell Valley appeared.

[This is a live video taken from an altitude of 300 kilometers. Although it is still daytime, it is approaching dusk. A large number of dragon soldiers of the Roaring Blood Clan are using the first floor as their base and are constantly engaging in encounters with the troops of the Sun God Cult. The upper dragon currently commanding the dragon soldiers is the Labyrinth Dragon, Labisdezuo. The entire first floor has become a maze because of his magic.]

"...It really died of overwork."

Hearing that it was the Maze Dragon working again, Sieg couldn't help but sigh.

Eight years ago, it was the Labyrinth Dragon and the Phantom Mist Dragon that came out to capture him and Kamui, resulting in the death of the Phantom Mist Dragon and severe injuries to the Labyrinth Dragon.

After being severely beaten by Stella this time and finally escaping with his life, he has to fight against the troops of the Cult of the Sun again. Is there no one left in the Roaring Vampire Clan?

"How's the battle going?"

[The Roaring Blood Clan has a slight advantage in occupying the Hell Valley. However, since the Sun God Cult has directly dispatched two Dragon Slayers, the Roaring Blood Clan's advantage is not great. The Sun God Cult's main force will be assembled in three days, and by then they should be able to break through the first level.]

[Having said that——]

"It's impossible for them to break through the second level." Sieg said, "It's just that the Roaring Blood Clan hasn't recovered from yesterday's battle yet. By the time they recover, the Cult will face a strong counterattack - it will only take two days at most."

[This is consistent with the calculation results of the Klinshid]

[In addition, Mr. Shenwei is also on the battlefield now, attacking the Roaring Blood Clan and the Sun God Cult indiscriminately]

"...that idiot."

Zieg really admired him.

He was knocked unconscious by a machine dragon's blast yesterday and was seriously injured, but today he's running off to join the war full of energy?

How energetic he is!

"Don't worry about him. Just help me keep an eye on his location. When we're done here, I'll return the magic sword to him."

Sieg had no intention of taking possession of the Demonic Sword of Claw just like that.

Of course, once he had the Claw Demon Sword, he would be able to unleash the true power of the [Magic Sword Skill] and reach a higher level of strength. But this Claw Demon Sword was not his, but Shenwei's. He had only borrowed it in an emergency.

He's not the kind of jerk who borrows money and doesn't pay it back.

Even if he really needs a Claw Demon Sword later, he can make a bet with Shenwei and win it from him. There is no need to be a thief now.

After hearing what Sieg said, Brunhilde asked.

【What do you want to do next? 】

"Ah."

Sieg threw back the quilt, got out of bed, changed his clothes, and picked up the magic sword.

"After I finish my meal, I will find a chance to return to the Clinshid, and then we will fly to Japan. Of course, there is no need to land, we can just stay in the Earth-Moon orbit, which is a safer distance."

"Then—bombard Japan hard!"

Although the main attackers were the Roaring Blood Clan and the Machine Dragons, the one who caused the battle to break out was the King of Eyes, and later the King of Scales came directly from Japan to attack him!

Sieg wasn't going to just keep putting up with it.

This time’s share, plus the one from eight years ago, let’s settle both the new and old grudges together!

"Have the main guns of the Clinshid ready to fire at any time. Of course, there is no need to set the target in detail. Use a general bombardment mode. My goal is not to kill the King of Eyes and the King of Scales, but just to disgust them."

"For the next half month, you have to fire a cannon over there every day."

This is Sieg's revenge.

Whether it is the King of Eyes or the King of Scales, since they want to target him, they must be prepared to be counterattacked by Sieg!

[As you command, Lord Sieg]

Brunhilde did not refuse.

There was no reason to refuse, after all, this was in line with Brunhilde's core instructions.
