"En, I can understand your feelings, but it's better to calm down first. Your Highness."
Iluanika turned around and reprimanded his comrade who couldn't keep his cool.
Under the two's carrot and stick tactics, the ox-boned man, who should have been the prime minister, curled his body in frustration.
"Yes, I'm…very…sorry.”
Although he had always been like this, Prime Minister Moro was not only a powerful King of the Red World, but he also had a clear mind and was a sage who could move the entire organization. However, his overly timid personality could not be changed. His colleagues being exterminated one by one had shaken him greatly, and it was clearly written on his ox bone face.
(No wonder. After all, they had been comrades who had fought side by side for thousands of years. In just a few decades, they…I didn't expect the famous Nine Gai Scales to become so deserted.)）
Iluanika's dragon face, which was hard to capture, also showed a faint sadness.
Sokal was attacked and killed in the prelude battle, and Ulikommi fought alone on the battlefield. They were once a team of nine, but now they were reduced to six.
(Perhaps, for this 'heroic'…we will really be defeated.）
For a long time, Assis himself had been an important force supporting the organization. But now, in order to achieve his " magnificent feat," he was only busy controlling the Nightingale Bird every day. He even invested all the " power of existence " he obtained from " devouring the city " into it. It could be said that what they were engaged in now was already a battle that would burn all means of retreat.
As for Illuanika, he had no complaints about this battle that had bet his loyalty and modesty. A 'magnificent feat' was a great change for the world. The only one who could make it come true was the Lord whom he swore loyalty to with his teeth and life. At the thought of this, Illuanica was instantly filled with pride. Even though the other people of the Nine Gai Scales had different attitudes, their feelings should be the same.
(Why? Why can't those guys stand on our side?）
Five days ago, during the battle for the " Nightingale Bird ", F1Amehaze and the " Kings " strongly rejected the significance of Assis's announcement, which was far beyond Assis 'and the Nine Gai Scales' expectations.
Why should he reject such a wonderful thing?
(I wonder if our Burial Bell, who has been fighting against those unreasonable fellows until now, will repeat the same mistakes again…Winning a victory but losing friends, winning a victory but losing his comrades, and finally winning a victory called a "magnificent feat"…)
Oh, no. The iron-scaled Ancient Dragon shook its head slightly.
(I really don't have the qualifications to lecture the Prime Minister.)
He shifted his gaze to his Lord and the all-powerful birdcage that was said to be able to change the entire world.
(Old people are always timid when faced with problems…In short, our glorious "Burial Bell" will continue to win as always, and achieve this "feat" step by step.）
Iluanika recalled the battle in the " Devour City."
Eighteen years ago, the battle that could be said to be the beginning of the great war.
The Freedom Technique was not only special but also large-scale. It could not be moved at will, nor could it be completed without any problems. Assis had created many torches as a catalyst for the " Devour the City ". At the same time, he had spread the huge distortion to all parts of the world, and the enemies had swarmed over.
(It's like being besieged on all sides.)
Faced with the F1Amehaze who had sensed the unprecedented distortion and surrounded them, as well as the attacks of the other " kings " who were enemies of the Burial Bell. The Nine Gai Scales used all their strength to defend against the other party's crazy attacks time and time again.
Back then, due to the large number of enemies and the unfavorable terrain (Ostrode was a metropolis on the plains), the Burial Bell, which was blindly defending, had always been at a disadvantage in the battle. The anticipated turning point-with the completion of Assis 'devouring of the city, the battle situation was reversed in an instant.
Assis, who had enlarged his existence, distributed his power to the Nine Gai Scales under his command and personally went to the front lines to fight. The F1Amehaze and the " Kings " who had come from all over the world to attack this piece of land that had now disappeared were met with a total counterattack by the army led by the ten " Kings of the Red World " and were instantly reduced to ashes.
The Great Domain's plan was beautifully completed, and it was followed by a great victory. The Burial Bell was immersed in the excitement of being able to destroy a city and conquer a stronghold in a short while.
(Victory is so close!)
For Iluanica, it was indeed a glorious memory of the golden age.
(But…)
Behind the glory, an ominous shadow was reflected.
He pointed at the glorious light-no, the shadow was blocking the way of the light.
It was a crusader with the burning power of a red lotus blocking their path.
(... A demon god who punishes the heavens randomly, and a woman who can use her power freely...)
The female crusader, who had been fighting in the east, fought with the corner of the Nine Gai Scales, which was chasing F1amehaze, and destroyed it with her unexpected potential and wit. This was the first time the nine of them had lost a companion. Moreover, this painful experience was not just a temporary event. This was just the smoke from the eighteen years of intense battle between the Burial Bell and the crusader. He was fearless in battle, and even if he wanted to escape, he would at least brag. Just like that, she became the Burial Bell's archenemy.
Not only that, she had also completed an important mission that determined the outcome of the battle. That was, after the " Devouring the City " incident, the F1Amehaze, which was full of solo players, gradually became a team. How despicable.
Iluanika remembered the other crusader who had been guarding the woman's back like a shadow.
(..."The silent river and the unparalleled dancer"...)
In contrast to the woman who recruited everyone for no reason, the other person was F1Amehaze, who moved the public through correct words and reasoning. No matter which side was missing, the situation today would not have happened. The other half of the Wheel of Fortune.
In the past eighteen years, the two wings had lost count of the number of times they had fought against the two old enemies. The two sides had been hindering each other, or being hindered in the battle. However, in the fierce battle five days ago, the " two wings " finally won.
It was the battle for the girl in the birdcage in front of him, the Nightingale Bird. Other than Gally, Moro, and Kiernorberg, the main force of the Nine Gai Scales, as well as Assis himself, attacked the location of the " King " who had the birdcage. This was one of the few major expeditions since the birth of the Burial Bell.
During the battle, they once again clashed with the unrepentant F1Amehaze Corps (their numbers could be considered "Corps"). Merichme's "Air Force" was annihilated by that woman, and Iluanica was also severely injured by the woman's partner…Moreover, the Nine Gai Scales had lost a corner again.
However, they still obtained the victory of " capturing the Nightingale Bird."
It was the " feat " that Assis announced that had caused such intense rejection. Although this was completely unexpected, the Burial Bell's direction of action would never change.
Those who dared to stop the Lord would only be eliminated.
Just like the battle at the foot of the mountain.
The appearance of the two old enemies would bring about a turning point in the battle, and at the same time, it would also cause the two wings to join the battle. To the Burial Bell, the true and biggest battle would probably only begin then.
(Are you preparing to launch a surprise attack somewhere or bring new reinforcements? But even then, it's too late.)
Not only did that woman not rush over first, but she also refused to come out despite the current situation. It was really strange. Letting her companions (as she called the other F1Amehaze) bleed for nothing was probably not her style.
(Ha…Merichm is probably anxious too.)
The silver swordsman standing in the big dish beside him had been holding his arms and tapping his fingers impatiently since the beginning. More than anyone else, he looked forward to the battle with that woman.
They hoped to defend against F1Amehaze and protect Assis 'two wings.
As a member of the Nine Gai Scales who commanded the battle, he looked forward to it.
But before that, he was looking forward to this battle as a man.
(But…Sigh, what a headache.)
"Oh?" "Oh?" "Oh?"
Suddenly, Gally exclaimed in surprise. If it was someone who had worked with him for a long time, they would understand the meaning of this voice.
What strange thing happened?
"Who is it?" "Between the bars""Look"
Most of what this " king " said was false. Usually, one could only grasp the meaning of the sentence based on the ending and the situation at that time.
The courtyard where the tower could see the starry sky was filled with countless flies that flew in from nowhere. The flies gradually formed a vortex. The strong black wind gradually became still like a sand painting, and quickly separated into different shades, forming a clear sketch.
" The gate is..."" The gate is shaking..."" It's been destroyed!”
As they listened to what Gally said, an upside-down map appeared above their heads. This was the current situation of the battlefield, which was reflected by the "Brutal Realm Egg" Gally and his "Wind of Worry".
The mountain peak that carried Fort Brocken, the gentle mountains around it, the plains of the battlefield... but what he wanted to show everyone wasn't those.
It was in the air.
"Hmm…?"
Merius frowned and looked at this strange scene.
The other Nine Gai Scales were also looking at the swarm of flies in shock.
At the edge of the sketch, where even the flow of fog and wind was exquisitely recreated, a blank space gradually appeared. Only the strange blank space that could not be described gradually left the edge of the map under everyone's gaze, moving like a bubble in the air.
No, the flying ball was closing in.
"What's that? The Wind of Worry that could capture everything was actually blank…?”
Moro raised his head and asked. Of course, no one could answer.
The spherical object was crossing the map, which was the actual battlefield, and approaching step by step.
They broke through the flames that enveloped the battlefield and headed straight for Brocken Fortress.
“！！”“！！”
The two wings could be confirmed by the aura of Merius and Iluanika alone.
Suddenly, a wing-like radiance appeared behind Merichm's back. It was a rainbow light wheel that seemed to be light but was not light at the same time. It gave people an oppressive feeling…Just like its real name," Rainbow Wings."
The sharp sword that was pulled out at lightning speed pointed at the sky.
Realizing the meaning of this action, Moro jumped up with a bang.
" Your Highness Merius!?"
"Get down! Skinny Bull!"
Kirnoberg cursed as he lowered his knees and used his huge right arm like a shield to shield himself.
Instead of lowering his sharp sword that pointed straight at the sky, Merius shouted at the burning blue flames in the center of the scale.
"Lord!"
"Allow! Go! My two wings!"
As soon as Assis finished speaking, a seven-colored radiance burst out from the hollow of the tower. When everyone felt that the enclosed space was once again filled with fresh air, the well above their heads had already disappeared into a cloud of dust.
This was the Freedom Technique that Merichm was proud of, the one with the strongest destructive power of the current era--the Rainbow Heavenly Sword.
" Waah!?"
Moro was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.
"Are those fellows coming over?"
Kilnoburgh frowned.
" The Red Woman "," Arrogant and shameless barging into the courtyard "," Without taking off her hat or sword "
Ignoring the yelling Gally, Merichme spread his rainbow wings and flew into the dark, misty night.
It was followed by Iluanica.
"I'll also go first, Master."
As he spoke, a huge body that was hidden appeared on the surface of the plate.
The long neck stretched into the air, revealing a body covered in a thick shell that shone with a dark light, arms with sharp claws, elastic giant feet, and a tail that exuded power. He flapped his wings that created a storm and flew up. It was a four-legged Quetzalcoatlus covered in thick scales and carapace.
The two wings that flew up from the top of Brocken Fortress lined up in a row, their eyes pointing in the direction that was blank on the map.
On the other side of the night fog and the mountain wind, in the Wind of Worry that was illuminated by the flames of war, there was an empty space that was like a floating cave without a swarm of flies. However, he couldn't feel anything, be it the aura of a person or the movement of the Freedom Technique.
However, it was precisely because of this that it was an abnormal situation.
Moreover, unlike the feeling on the miniature map, the object was charging at him with a rather violent degree.
He was in a situation that should have been terrifying…
"Humph…"
Merichm's entire body was trembling.
"Come on!"
In the midst of his nervousness and anticipation, he smiled.
"This time, I will definitely…"
The wings of light on his back became even more brilliant and spread out in all directions as if they were echoing his voice and heart.
"I want to take you"
It was a huge circle that shone with rainbow light, like the crown of the peak, the top of Brocken Fortress.
"Get it!"
The moment the sword was swung down, the wings of light on his back gathered in the opposite direction as water ripples spread out, and a straight rainbow exploded from the tip of the sword.
The rainbow that pierced through the dark fog directly collided with the invisible behemoth. The sound of the explosion spread through the fog, echoing through the foothills. The rainbow-colored flames and smoke gradually revealed the appearance of the unknown object.
A magnificent palace was revealed from the broken surface of the place that should have been empty. However, the UFO did not slow down at all. It charged towards the center of the fortress, where Assis was.
Merichm's smile became even brighter as he shouted at his comrades who were still in the air.
"Illuanika!"
"Here!"
Sensing his comrade's call, Iluanica flew out from beside Merichm. Using his head as a jet of air, he stuck it out heavily and quickly.
" Gahaaah-!!"
Blunt smoke spewed out from its mouth, which had multiple sharp teeth. The smoke dispersed in the air like ink added to water.
The tip of the fog collided with the object that was charging forward.
In an instant, a sound that was not inferior to the "Hong Tian Sword" from before rang out. It wasn't just a sound. The dull smoke had indeed hit the object.
This was the power of the Armor Iron Dragon, known as the strongest defense of the current generation, the Free Technique, the Curtain Miasma Wall.
The smoke wall, which was known for its unparalleled hardness, was able to withstand the violent impact of the unknown object. Just like how a stone would be bounced off a wall, the object changed its direction and fell at the base of Brocken Fortress.
From the smoke and the hole created by the "Hong Tian Sword", the two of them finally saw the full view of the object.
It was a palace covered by an eggshell-like sphere.
Merius and Illuanika knew what it was.
"This is-"
"Could it be the Heavenly Dao Palace?”
The greatest relic in the world, the Heavenly Dao Palace.
It used the bubble-like otherworld's " hidden sacred chamber " to hide the body and aura of the object inside and freely shuttle through the air…It had disappeared along with the " king " who created it for decades. Moreover, he had never heard of it being equipped with combat facilities. Rather than saying that it was used for assault, it should be said that it was not something that could be used in war at all.
Of course, it was the opposite for them. It was precisely because of the concealment function of this castle that they used this method. To be able to pass through the Wind of Worry's barrier, which was controlled even outside the battlefield, without being seen, was indeed an amazing strategic effect. Even if he was eventually discovered by Gally because he was deep in the dense swarm of flies, it would be too late. In the end, they used the mobile city to pass through the battlefield that should have been delayed, and arrived at Brocken Fortress without any consumption.
Not only did he participate in the battle, but he was also faced with the surprise attack of his old enemy who had suddenly arrived in front of him. With the help of a precious artifact that could not even be considered a weapon, this unexpected assault, although correct, was also too rough. For all of this, Illuanica felt a chill all over his body, and he was speechless for a long time.
"You want to use this to crash into Brocken Fortress…what a mess.”
Merius did not turn around.
"There's no need to say anything else now. Iron Dragon Armored Iluanika, my comrade.”
Merius said proudly as he looked for the figure of the woman he longed for in the dust.
"She's that kind of woman."
At this moment,
Clang!
It was unknown who stepped on the edge of the already shattered Sacred Room.
Amidst the dust that gradually dissipated, a brilliant light appeared before his eyes.
It was the dazzling radiance of the red lotus.
“——！！”
Merius seemed to be responding. Rainbow wings appeared on his back again. Facing the light that he had been longing for, a smile appeared on his face. There was not a trace of cheerfulness in his smile. It was a fanatical smile like a beast that had found its prey. The uncontrollable joy was directly converted into words.
" As expected, you're still the best. Mathilda St. Milo, the Conqueror of Scorching Eyes!”
The raging wind that carried sparks blew away the smoke around them.
The woman stood in the middle.
A woman with red lotus radiance in her eyes.
Calling her a lady gave people an overly intense impression. Calling her a heroine was too elegant. His features were featured by his strong sword-like eyebrows, but there was an incredible tranquility hidden in them, making people feel that there was a kind of sword beauty between his eyebrows.
"You should definitely say 'the best' at this time. Right wing,'Rainbow Wing' Merichm.”
The sword that had been hidden for the sake of swinging finally revealed its sharp edge and spoke with a smile.
"Come, let us begin."
