Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

The voice of the elven mage Amyusha rang out: "The Blade of Salvation sealed the last remnant soul of the Serpent of Annihilation. They are mutually eroding each other and cannot be erased. May the one chosen by the goddess bring this matter to a close after countless ages, and you will also receive the goddess's blessing."

Finally, Amyotha's originally dignified and holy tone suddenly changed, becoming quite playful and apologetic.

"Hello, hello, it's just that my useless hero is too weak. Even if he burned his life force, this is all he could do. I'm pretty useless too, I couldn't even kill a dying giant worm, and I even overexerted myself. But it's not bad, at least I'll be able to see him again soon. I hope the goddess isn't lying to me, Heaven... Anyway, I'm so sorry, I've really troubled you. I believe in the goddess's guidance and I believe in you, but no matter what, the goddess's reward is definitely real!"

The stark contrast between her earlier and later personas, and the collapse of her established image, caused Erii to freeze for two seconds before realizing, "So, I'm here to clean up this mess?"

So, by some twist of fate, I've become half a hero?

"I thought I could just get the reward directly, but it turns out I have to do a mission first," Hugh Tarek complained.

But now was not the time to talk. The two sped back along the same path, nimbly navigating the collapsing cave, and leaped into the air just before the entire passage completely collapsed.

The sound of the wind rushing down filled my ears, but a roar that soared straight into the sky drowned out all other sounds.

Erii twisted her body in mid-air, staring incredulously at the come-to-life serpentine mountain range!

rumbling~

The stone serpent crawling on the mountain was slowly wriggling, causing the thousand-meter-high mountain to shake. The surface soil softened and slid down, with rocks and trees collapsing and falling in clusters.

Although the giant serpent still had a rocky body, one of its heads was incredibly lifelike, its wide-open mouth emitting a furious, suppressed roar.

The remnant soul of the world-destroying serpent has broken free and attached itself to the body that has lost its vitality and turned into rock and soil.

After landing safely, the two did not hesitate and simultaneously distanced themselves. Two seconds later, a large amount of falling rocks buried the area below the mountain.

Boom!

The world-destroying serpent... it would be more accurate to describe it as a serpent mountain or a rock serpent now.

Because of the passage of time, its body has long since become one with the mountains, with soil and vegetation taking root haphazardly on its back. Its once slender and elegant appearance is gone, replaced by an aura of bloating, filth, decay, dejection, and irritability.

Sensing the equally dilapidated aura of the Blade of Salvation, it began to wriggle and peek its head toward Erii's location.

The slightest movement of its thousand-meter-tall body creates a tremendous roar, shaking the earth and mountains. As it accelerates with all its might, the entire forest trembles.

However, no birds or beasts scattered in panic, because they had all been devoured by the snakes.

at the same time.

The magical city of Visaster, a branch of the Magic Association.

"An extremely large amount of magical energy fluctuation has been detected. The target is currently unknown, and we are working to pinpoint the specific coordinates."

"Located, nearby patrol teams have been notified to investigate."

"Lord Lylene, please give your orders."

Faced with the unexpected situation, the members worked in an orderly and efficient manner, each performing their duties with the composure characteristic of magicians.

Lylene stood on the edge of the terrace, gazing at the thick smoke rising in the west and spreading across the sky. In his field of vision, the surging magic was like a burning flame, and clusters of flames flickered like snakes.

He is the chief disciple of the association's founder, Celia, and also the association's foremost first-level mage. When Celia is not around, he is the head of the magic association.

With gray hair, a magician's robe, regular features, a peaceful expression, and a calm demeanor, he resembled a highly respected yet approachable university professor.

"Genau is proctoring the exam and can't leave. Shall I go with you?"

The person who came up behind him and spoke was a short girl, about twenty years old. Her long, messy hair that fell to her calves was particularly eye-catching, and her face, which was covered by a third of her hair, gave her a natural air of naivety.

Zanze, a first-class mage, is also Celie's apprentice.

"Okay," Lylene agreed.

……

The rock serpent had climbed down from the top of the mountain, leaving devastation in its wake and destroying the forests.

Its length from beginning to end truly exceeds a kilometer, and the rocks and ancient trees covering its back make its scale appear even more magnificent.

Upon seeing such a colossal creature, Shutark had absolutely no intention of fighting.

"Junior sister, don't stop! Let's run away quickly. There are no villages or towns around here, so it's not worth fighting head-on. Visaster isn't far from here either, and those level one mages will definitely arrive soon. We don't need to use our trump cards!"

Erii ignored his advice and waved her hand, indicating that her brother shouldn't be a coward.

She stood atop the tip of a sturdy ancient tree, her eyes filled with excitement as she looked at the rock snake.

This is definitely the final boss—Jormungandr, the World Serpent (not really)

The spirit of gaming burns brightly!

Today, I will take you down!

"Please call me Erii the Hero."

She drew Tsukuyomi, gripping the broken Blade of Salvation tightly in her left hand, standing proudly with twin swords.

"Not you, junior sister? Shouldn't I be the one acting like a chuunibyou?" Shutark had no choice but to take off his battle axe and carry it on his shoulder.

He muttered with a hint of regret, "We look quite imposing like this, but it's a pity there's no audience."

Bang!

boom!

The beams of magic struck the rock serpent, but aside from blasting away the surface trees and rocks, they had no effect whatsoever.

The patrol guards belonging to Vessus arrived on their wands, and seeing that ordinary attacks were ineffective, they immediately began to use their special skills.

In an instant, a variety of natural elemental magics, such as flames, ice, gales, and vines, were unleashed upon the rock serpent.

Annoyed by the disturbance, the rock snake stopped chasing Erii and got entangled with a group of magicians.

However, even more powerful magic could not effectively damage it, at most only scratching its surface.

"Junior sister, we're done here, we..."

Suddenly, Shutark sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around him.

Turning his head, his facial features twitched uncontrollably, as if he were seeing Frilian dancing a striptease while shouting "I'm an old woman."

Erii was steaming hot!

The fiery dragon blood, like surging magma, ignited her.

hiss hiss hiss~

Arms, cheeks, neck, and calves are outlined with overlapping curves, gradually forming three-dimensional ravines that are clearly silvery-white dragon scales!

Clang clang clang~

Elbows, knees, spine and other joints popped one after another, and as the skin and flesh tore and cracked, Erii's figure became burly but well-proportioned, and her hands were exaggerated in shape and grew hideous bone spurs.

Shoes and clothes were torn apart bit by bit, leaving only shreds to cover the private parts, but the exposed skin was completely transformed into scales and muscle exoskeletons, filled with an extremely violent physical beauty.

Wow!

Her red hair cascaded wildly, and Erii opened her pure gold eyes, a haughty smile playing on her lips.

Dragon Transformation - Little Dragon Girl Form

"Junior sister, you haven't been possessed by a demon, have you?" Shutark asked in a trembling voice. "Sorry to bother you, go ahead and do your thing."

He wisely retreated, leaping onto a hillside. Watching the approaching rock snake and the immovable Erii, he thought to himself, "It's anyone's guess who will win."

"You're Frillie's companions, aren't you?"

Lyleen’s voice rang out softly. He and Zanze descended from the sky, asking questions while looking incredulously at the rock snake and the inhuman Erii.

"Yes, sir, you've finally arrived," Hugh Tarek said after meeting Lylene at the association's branch. "But whether you come or not seems to matter."
