Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

At this moment, Meiliu Qina noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka had a thoughtful expression on her face, so she asked curiously:

"Master, do you know anything?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't shy away from the topic and nodded, saying:

"Well, I know a little about the situation here, it's like this..."

She recounted her memories of the Dragon's Crystal Land to Meiliuqina, and after listening, Meiliuqina couldn't help but exclaim:

"The final resting place after the dragon's death... the dissipated life energy... no wonder it feels so familiar to me, and no wonder it has such an effect..."

At the same time, she also understood why she had such a high affinity with this land.

Using the land where dragons met their end as the summoning ground, and drawing upon the life energy dissipated after a dragon's death as the source of magical power for the summon, it seems there is indeed no Servant more suitable to come to this world than her.

Having thought all this through, she looked at the land before her, her expression softening with a touch of warmth, and smiled:

"In that case, let's just let it remain peaceful."

She naturally longed to become a complete Albion Dragon, and if she absorbed all of the enormous life energy before her, it should be enough to replenish herself.

However, after learning about the origins of this land, as a dragon born from Albion's corpse, she wished for this land to continue to exist in peace and did not want to disturb or destroy this peace.

If she were to actually do that, it would be an absolute betrayal of herself that she could not tolerate.

However, the only thing that made her hesitate was...

She glanced cautiously at Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked hesitantly:

"Master, if I say I don't want to actively absorb this energy and refuse this power, you..."

"Of course, it's up to you to do what you like. I also hope you can follow your heart."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Moreover, I don't like, nor do I want, power gained through disruption and destruction."

Although her memory wasn't very clear, she vaguely remembered that the Dragon's Recess was a very important place for the New World and this world.

As a Master who protects humanity, I certainly don't want to actively destroy other people's worlds if I could.

"Master...!"

However, upon hearing the answer, Meiliu Zina looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with teary eyes, overwhelmed with emotion.

At the same time, an even stronger emotion welled up in her heart, making her blush, and she finally couldn't help but pounce on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Hey, what are you doing!?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka frantically blocked Meiliu Zina, who was trying to get closer to her, and hurriedly called out with a black line on her face.

"How could I possibly stand for saying something like that to me? It's practically cheating!!"

Meiliu Qina's face was flushed and her eyes were glazed, making her look like a female dragon in heat. This terrified Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was afraid that her virginity would be lost right there. So she resisted desperately.

Damn it, she didn't say anything!

Fortunately, at that moment, the nasal bubble of the sleeping Nergigante burst with a 'pop', finally waking it from its slumber.

Then, he looked up to the sky and roared—

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!!!”

“!?”×2

Such unusual commotion naturally caught the attention of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiryu Shina. They stopped their playful fighting and looked at the Nergigante, which had just woken up, with probing eyes, wanting to know what had happened.

At this moment, Nergigante seemed somewhat agitated and angry. Just yesterday, it had been relentlessly pursuing Fujimaru Ritsuka, but now it no longer paid attention to her. With a powerful flap of its wings, it flew into the sky and headed towards a certain place, as if there was some urgent situation. Only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Meiru Shina remained in place.

Seeing this, Meiliu Qina asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Master, what should we do?"

"Um……"

She pondered deeply.

According to her original plan, she was going to leave the Elder's Recess today and return to the Ancient Forest region to visit the hunters' camp.

However, Nergigante's behavior just now was clearly abnormal, which made her uneasy.

Although there had been no effective communication, Nergigante did have goodwill towards her, and what's more, she had beaten him up twice yesterday for various reasons, which made her feel a little guilty.

And at this moment, her dream from last night involuntarily resurfaced in her mind.

'Please help me...stop it...'

That child will guide you…

So she quickly made a decision.

"...Follow it and see what's going on."

"Yes!"

Meiliu Qina agreed without hesitation, wrapped her arms around Fujimaru Ritsuka's waist and legs, picked her up in a princess carry, and then soared into the sky in an instant.

Even in her fairy form, she is no different from her dragon form in terms of functionality; the only difference is that her power output is limited.

Despite having Fujimaru Ritsuka with her, her flying speed still far exceeded that of Nergigante, and she quickly caught up with it, then maintained a certain distance behind it.

Nergigante didn't care about the two women following it and just kept moving straight toward its target.

"Speaking of it,"

At this moment, Meiliuqina suddenly spoke up, asking curiously:

"Master, you always seem to know strange and unusual things. Is it clairvoyance or futurism?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled dryly:

"Well, would you believe me if I said this came from a memory of a past life?"

"Were you from this world in your past life?"

Mei Liuqina found it somewhat amusing and could only guess:

"Or is it something like [Sacred Revelation]?"

"As for the Holy Revelation, it seems there is one?"

After thinking about her dream last night, Fujimaru Ritsuka replied somewhat uncertainly.

"..."

Chapter 261 Stopping the Lava Dragon, the Fifth Fleet Leader Appears

Following the Nergigante, we flew across the volcanic region and arrived at the edge of the Elder's Recess. A long gap opened up between the two continents, connecting directly to the sea and forming a narrow strait.

At this moment, Meiliuqina seemed to sense something and spoke:

"Master, there seems to be a big guy ahead. Could that be the little guy's target?"

"possible."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also sensed the presence of a powerful creature ahead. Looking at the terrain before her, she replied thoughtfully.

Upon reaching the strait, Nergigante traveled inland along the strait, and the Nergigante followed closely behind, soon arriving at the source of the strait.

"That's... a dragon?"

At the source of the strait is a huge cave hundreds of meters high, with no bottom in sight and no idea where it leads.

But most importantly, at the entrance to the cave stood a gigantic monster, as large as a small mountain—

The monster was estimated to be hundreds of meters tall, its enormous body almost filling half of the cave. Its jet-black body was like obsidian, and its bloated back emitted billowing smoke and flames. The sulfurous smell carried by the wind and the sudden rise in temperature revealed what it contained.

At this moment, the other party was slowly advancing into the depths of the cave, looking like a mobile active volcano.

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately recognized the other party's identity—

Lava Dragon!

The Lava Dragon is an Elder Dragon, and the largest and most gigantic Elder Dragon ever observed. Its entire body emits extremely high levels of heat, resembling an active volcano.

Its standing posture, at first glance, somewhat resembles another well-known monster, Godzilla.

"Master, there are still humans ahead!"

Upon getting closer, Melyuchina discovered that, in addition to the Lavasioth, there were many human warriors gathered on the shore deeper inside the cave. They had built fortifications along the Lavasioth's path and filled them with huge ballistae and cannons.

Most of the human warriors were wearing heavy armor and were fully armed. Some were operating ballistae and cannons to attack the Lavasioth, while others were helping to carry ammunition. Some even stayed on the Lavasioth's back to attack it. The battle looked very intense.

What's even more striking are the weapons they carry, whether in their hands or on their backs: longswords, greatswords, and hammers. Whatever the weapon, they are all enormous, unlike anything an ordinary human could use.

At this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka roughly understood the current situation.

The New World is the final resting place for the ancient dragons, and this Lava Mountain Dragon sensed that its lifespan was nearing its end, so it chose to cross the ocean to come to this continent, preparing to quietly face its own demise.

Generally speaking, most Elder Dragons go to a region in the New World called the Rotten Vale as their burial ground, and the Rotten Vale is where the corpses of the deceased Elder Dragons are decomposed.

After decomposition, the body of the ancient dragon will become nutrients to nourish other creatures on the New World, while the life energy within it will flow to the Dragon Crystal Lands to form new crystals.

Just like whales in real life, when one whale falls, all things come to life.

It should be like this.

However, the Lava Dragon, which was nearing its death, did not follow the ancient path to the Valley of Miasma, but instead mistakenly came to this place called the Ley Line Corridor.

The deepest part of this cave is where the ley lines of the New World are located.

If the Lavasioth is allowed to enter the ley lines, its energy will erupt within the ley lines after its death, causing immeasurable damage to the entire New World and potentially even destroying its ecosystem.

These human warriors, known as "Hunters" in the game, are here to prevent this from happening. They want to stop the Lavasioth from penetrating deeper into the ley lines and make it leave this place.

"So, what's this little guy doing here? Is he here to help everyone?"

Looking at the current situation, Meiliuqina guessed.

Just then, Nergigante swooped down and landed on the back of Zorah Magdaros, letting out a ferocious roar—

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!!!”

Given the unclear situation, Meiliuqina did not continue following this time. Instead, she hovered in the air and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:
