I, the Masked Swordsman, started my journey through a Lostbelt.

His pride as a dragon was even more pronounced, and he seemed to become more direct in his dealings with others than before.

Her first thought was, "I am the strongest."

Therefore, there is no need to care too much about others.

"Albion is here!"

Melusin created her own weapon using magic.

In this form, her weapon is no longer Arondette, but rather a pair of pistols resembling clock hands.

He held a jet-black spear engraved with rose patterns in his hand.

The spearhead clashed with the shield that carried the world.

Normally, the dual pistols should have fallen apart before the mass of a small world.

But it didn't do that.

It even blocked and cut into the shield's barrier.

"Is it blocked...?"

Achilles had not expected this.

The original characteristic of this Noble Phantasm is that it can defend against all attacks, except for one type of attack that it cannot defend against.

That is an attack against the World's Noble Phantasm.

Could these dual pistols be a Noble Phantasm against the world?!

Achilles knew nothing about the dragon Albion, so he could only speculate based on the two twin pistols.

It wasn't actually because of the dual pistols.

Albion himself is a dragon that guards the realm.

It is believed to guard the "horizon" leading to the gate to another world, existing as a phantom dragon of the "boundary".

Therefore, it itself will have an impact on the world.

If you go to the location of the Albion Dragon, you will surely find the horizon leading to the otherworldly gate.

Therefore, Achilles should not have used his shield against Melusin.

It is unable to defend against the shield of the World-Defying Noble Phantasm, but now it has encountered the Phantom Dragon who controls the boundary.

This is such an unfavorable match.

Even a joke wouldn't be this outrageous.

Unfortunately, reality never works logically.

Stories often require a certain level of logical thinking, but reality is often simple and brutal.

If it happens, you can only accept it.

"The strongest heart on this planet...!"

Melusin cuts out the dividing line between reality and the barrier.

The Dragon's Furnace Core rapidly circulates magical energy.

She brought the world within the shield into reality.

Three blue-green magical halos appeared in the pitch-black night sky.

Each ring is engraved with Roman numerals one through twelve, which seem to symbolize time.

Then look at the clock-shaped double guns in Melusin's hands.

It's not hard to guess that she created the spell.

"This is named Albion. The pioneer of realms, the final dragon!"

Unfolding its wings, it unleashed its magic and soared into the sky.

The azure light soared through layer upon layer of magical rings, and its appearance and body gradually underwent significant changes.

Like a blue comet flashing across the sky.

Melusine soared through the sky.

"roar--!!"

It sounded like a heavy dragon's roar that could awaken the ancient past.

Enveloped in magic, she once again spread her wings, emerging from the clouds like a dragon shedding its skin.

The speed is constantly increasing.

It has now reached the level of hypersonic speed.

Let the passage of time be revealed!

Melusine stood suspended in the sky, gazing at the earth.

At this moment, she had completely transformed into the form of a dragon.

Its scales are as smooth as obsidian, and the patterns on its slender body are tinged with azure blue. Its golden dragon eyes are filled with emotion.

Thick white mist formed from magic was exhaled from his mouth.

"The lake is decaying!"

The dragon's chest is slowly opening.

The patterns all over his body seemed to be transmitting magical power within him at high speed, and the blue light was much brighter than before.

The clock hand spear, originally used as a weapon, protruded from his chest.

It locked the target below.

"The Unseen, Immaculate Heartbeat (Hollowheart.Albion) --!!"

The moment it was released, three layers of magic unfolded behind him.

A blazing golden beam shot out from his chest, held in place by three layers of rings as it swooped down to the earth.

Achilles is located directly below.

Melusin was focused on his location.

The small world revealed by the shield was shattered by the golden light, as fragile as thin paper.

It shattered upon contact.

"It's an Anti-World Noble Phantasm...!"

Achilles planned to use his shield to take the hit.

Although the world revealed by the shield is extremely fragile in the face of a World-Defying Noble Phantasm, the divine weapon has its own inherent strength.

This is the only method we can rely on now.

　(Good!) He never expected the enemy to be the Dragon of Albion. He had miscalculated because he was determined to avenge his teacher.

"【Fantasy Greatsword: Balmung】!!"

Siegfried disregarded the danger and stood in front of Achilles, the Demon Sword releasing pure true ether once more.

The Noble Phantasm was aimed at the top and unleashed.

One streak flew from the ground, and another descended from the sky.

Two flashes of light, tearing through the sky, collided violently.

It was like two giant dragons fighting each other, one of which shattered with a deafening roar.

The golden flash tore through the blue-green light.

Even the dragon-slaying sword wielded by the dragon-slaying hero could not stop the dragon's might unleashed by Albion.

Interspersed among the flashes was the noon of the clock hands.

It fell to the ground and cleaved the boundary.

...divide...line...

(P.S.: The picture shows Albion Melusin.)

The brilliance outside the battlefield illuminates the darkness.

The long, drawn-out roar of the dragon echoed throughout the entire Romanian continent.

Ritsuka and Mashu, far inside the city, saw the radiance outside and gradually felt a sense of foreboding.

At the same time, some followers' reactions disappeared.

Ritsuka, who was the Master, noticed this and her expression changed. It wasn't just one rider, but three.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"Just now... I lost contact with Achilles, Chiron, Siegfried, and the others..."
