Hao'er cried out these words in anguish, then desperately stomped on the dragon scales beneath his feet, propelling himself out of the shadows. Unfortunately, he landed right in front of the sharp corner of a dragon scale, with four seconds remaining before contact. He used one second to draw his dagger, one second to pray, one second to cast a protective spell, and in the last second, he slashed out, striking the sharp corner precisely and breaking it, thus reducing the danger.

As the last second ended, Hale crashed into the dragon scales, narrowly escaping death. At the same time, the airship also slammed onto the black dragon's back. The oil stored in the lower deck splashed out due to the broken deck, and the fire quickly spread to the black dragon's back. Hale, who had not yet recovered, had to force his wailing body to move again and escape in the heat wave.

The black dragon's roar echoed at close range, the volume of which made Haul dizzy for a moment, and his unbalanced body fell uncontrollably into the sea of ​​fire.

Bad luck, it really is true that good deeds will eventually be rewarded, and karma is a cycle...

A bitter smile appeared on Hao'er's expressionless face.

"Stop! Xiao! She's over there! Quick!"

"Huh?? Huh, where? Oh! Oh! I see you!!!!"

Something burst forth from the sea of ​​fire, crashing headlong into Hao'er's back. The force even sent him flying. Feeling the scorching flames on his back, Hao'er finally regained his senses. He then realized that he, or rather, they, were flying toward the sharp fragments of dragon scales.

Good heavens... it's like one problem after another...

Chapter 42 Dragon Fang Annihilation Battle

Click.

Clang clang clang clang——!!!

Draw the sword and sheath it.

The four consecutive slashes were executed in one fluid motion, instantly shattering all the surrounding dragon scales. The wind generated by the sword swings blew the scales away, allowing them to land safely—or rather, onto the black dragon's back. Only then did Hale realize that what had bumped into him was a person, and it seemed…

"Whoa... That scared me to death! It's so hot!?"

"Hey, watch your image..."

The fox-eared girl rolled around on her relatively flat scales, trying to extinguish the last remaining flames on her body. Hale wasn't sure whether to call her slow to realize it or not. Not only that, but a phantom woman was floating beside the girl; that woman must be a ghost…

"Haa... I finally escaped..." The girl slumped down after putting out the fire.

Her attire was unique, its design quite unconventional compared to the trends of the time. However, Hao'er had seen similar designs before; Xia Que's outfit upon arrival was very similar. But this girl's clothes were not only flawless in fabric but also in design, seemingly imbued with some degree of magic. Who could have created such a garment?

The flames didn't leave any marks on the clothes, at most some places were just covered in ash. She came out of the fire unharmed. Clothing with such protective properties can be called a national treasure.

"Hmm...? Eh? Sister Winser, this isn't from Akihabara..."

"So that's true..."

The ghostly woman and the girl were both staring at Haor with suspicion, their gazes making him uneasy. Haor vaguely remembered hearing this girl's voice at Rin's house; that meant she was Rin's sister, Akira? Ah, I see… then all the unusual things about her made sense; after all, she was that person's sister…

"Ah! I remember now!" Xiao showed a look of sudden realization. "You're that male slave, aren't you!"

Then he said something very rude.

“I’m telling you…” Ghost started to get a headache, “Don’t address people like that, it’s very rude.”

"Huh? Is that so? Xiao is so sorry."

Xiao apologized frankly, and Hao Er was a little overwhelmed by this slightly naive girl.

"It's alright," Hao'er said, not intending to dwell on what had just happened. "You must be Li's sister, right? Can you lend me a hand?"

"Give me a hand?" Xiao tilted her head, her cute fox ears twitching.

"I just need your help," Ghost quickly added, seeing that she didn't understand.

"Okay, sure," Xiao immediately agreed. "What do you need Xiao's help with?"

"Well, it's not a difficult task," Hao'er said. "It's just that we need to work together to take down this dragon beneath our feet, okay?"

After hearing what Hao'er said, Ghost and Xiao were both stunned, and then they both smiled knowingly.

"Of course."

The two of them said this in unison.

bake--

The sea of ​​fire was drawn to something and gathered higher up. Only then did Hale notice the large amount of energy gathering around them. He looked around and saw countless people emerging from the shadows of the scales. These people were all residents of Akihabara, and none of them would back down because of this level of danger.

At the highest point stood Prince Sevi, his weapon raised high. The raging flames converged on his black sword, which glowed crimson after absorbing the intense heat. These flames, as if imbued with their own will, transformed into a red beam of light, wrapping around the sword and becoming a sharp blade of light.

"It's about to start!!!"

After informing the others beforehand, Savi forcefully thrust the sword through the gaps in the dragon scales into the black dragon's skin. "External attacks are useless, so I'll attack inside," Savi roared inwardly, using his magic as a guide to command the flames, transforming them into blades that pierced the black dragon's skin and penetrated its body. He then poured all his energy into the black dragon's body.

After receiving Sevi's warning, everyone ran to a slightly farther place. The scales in the area they left quickly turned red and hot, taking on a dark red color. After the flames were fully injected, all the scales in that area burst open.

boom! ! !

The explosion originated from within the black dragon, forcefully blasting open the area. Upon hearing the muffled thud from deep within, Savi drew his sword without hesitation and leaped out. Flames burst forth from the crack, and the scales transformed into dangerous bullets that shot out. Seeing the rapidly approaching dragon scale fragments, Hao'er immediately pulled Xiao to hide beneath them for safety.

The massive explosion forcefully blasted off a large chunk of scales. Savi, who was high in the sky, was caught by Aye, who had been waiting for him there. The two of them dodged the flying debris as they flew toward safety.

Because of the explosion caused by Savi, they can now see a large patch of exposed skin blown open by the blast, which is still being burned by the flames.

"Oh~ that's fine~" Aye said with a smile.

"Now, let's go all out on the attack." Sevier looked at the exposed skin as she pulled out the blood lock she had released.

Just now, Aye revealed that she had a way to stop the dragon. After obtaining everyone's consent, Savi immediately began to implement the plan. As long as Aye could penetrate deep into the black dragon's territory, she would be able to seal the dragon's movements. So, Savi was creating the necessary conditions for Aye. Although he had a bad feeling, this was the only way to defeat Groot; there was no other choice.

"Everyone! Let's begin!" Savi shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people emerged from all directions, and everyone began to attack the exposed skin. More airships began to approach and crash into other parts of the black dragon, setting off raging fires. It was as if the grand explosion just now marked the seventh point, and the Allied Forces launched a full-scale counterattack after the appearance of a certain person.

"...Maybe that will work..."

As if propelled by the momentum, Xiao had already run out quickly, and Hao Er also sensed the possibility of victory among these people, so...

Let's just go for it!

Chapter 43 Dragon Fang Strategy/The Demon King Awakens

"Jay Cun! Hit him! Get ready to run!"

"Ok."

Under the command of the leader, Jay Chou once again piloted the stolen warship and rammed it into the Black Dragon.

"This time, smash it in the head! Don't give it a chance to react! If you sense danger, just smash it in somewhere else!"

The leader used every means at his disposal to inflict effective damage on the dragon, even if it was just to restrain it. He wanted to create an opportunity for the young people to break through this predicament. Once this was settled, they could go and support other places. The Dragon King and his group were also in a stalemate. Moreover, he learned something from his earpiece that made all the residents of Akihabara excited.

Their ambassador, Li, has already arrived at the battlefield.

The mere mention of this news filled them with immense excitement. They felt invincible, and the exhilarated inhabitants of Akihabara displayed extraordinary power on the chaotic battlefield, relentlessly sweeping away the enemy with their special abilities. Meanwhile, hordes of dragons arrived from all directions, not only in the sky but also on the ground. The dragons unleashed their claws and magic, and victory seemed within reach.

"Aha……"

Xuanze, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally recovered. When he woke up, he found that the battlefield had changed drastically. He pressed his temples with a headache. What had happened during his temporary departure from the battlefield to cause this to happen?

"Oh, you're awake." Edman cut down the enemy in front of him, then turned to greet Xuanze.

During this time, Edman and a group of people stayed by Xuanze's side to protect him.

Good evening. Thank you for your help during this time.

Xuanze, who had just woken up, was surprisingly polite and asked about what had happened during that time.

What happened while I was unconscious?

"See that dragon?" Edman pointed in a direction.

Following the direction Edman pointed, Xuanze could see the most conspicuous thing: a huge black dragon that was dozens of times larger than the Dragon Kings. After seeing it for the first time, he began to wonder what it was. His second reaction was to click his tongue in amazement. It would be bad if he got into a fight with something like this. His third reaction was to wonder how this thing could have appeared here.

He quickly figured out what it was.

"That thing is a dragon tooth, right?" Xuanze said, offering his speculation.

“Yes,” Edman nodded with mixed feelings, “this is the black guy.”

"Tch, I've never heard of this thing turning into this." Xuanze felt genuinely troubled by the current state of the Dragon Fang.

The Dragon Fang was already excessively powerful, and now it has turned into this unexpected state. He had not received any information about this situation from Li, but at least the information he had received from Li so far was accurate. However, this could not have any breakthrough impact on the current situation, which is why it was so troublesome.

“Besides that, there’s also there.” Edman pointed in another direction. “Right there, the dragons have gathered.”

“That was expected.” Xuanze said as if he had foreseen this outcome long ago. “Those dragon kings spoiled her too much.”

She didn't need to explicitly state this; this girl seemed to be blessed by the entire world with incredible luck, sometimes even Xuanze had to admire her. However, this naive little girl wasn't suited to this dog-eat-dog world. If Xuanze's own experiences were written into a story, this person would definitely be the most magical and mysterious character in the book, though such a character probably wouldn't be very popular.

The Dragon Kings summoned the Dragon Clan for both survival and personal reasons. Now, with the addition of the Dragon Clan, our combat strength has increased significantly, and we can at least maintain a stalemate for the time being.

"Also, is your headset still working?" Edman said. "I can use the headset to ask about the situation on the other battlefields. Those two ladies have already arrived."

"Heh, so you've finally arrived..." Xuanze chuckled, adjusting his headphones to listen to other people's conversations for information.

The two most important tasks in the ongoing battle are the Queen's conquest and the Dragon Fang's conquest. The Queen's side is led by the Dragon King and the Dragon Riders, while the Dragon Fang side is led by Sevi and Akihabara. Also confirmed to be in combat are Blade Dance, Demon Coffin, and Melody, a total of five people are tied down.

"Li, what are you doing right now?"

Xuanze went directly to ask her, and Li quickly gave him a reply, though she seemed to be quite busy right now.

"Huh? Oh, the Demon King! Sorry! I'm so busy right now!?"

"Ah... I knew that was the case just from listening to you talk. Do you have any plans?"

"No! Oh dear!? It's done like this?!"

"I understand. It was my mistake to ask you this at this time."

"So, do you have a problem with me?!"

Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, Xuanze knew she was definitely fighting against something, and that was enough. Now, both he and she needed to put in a little more effort.

"Well then, that's all for now." Xuanze ended the conversation on his own. "Let's wish each other good luck."

"Huh?! What exactly are you..."

At this point, Xuanze took off his headphones, because his mission was now very clear. He could no longer be considered a hero, or rather, he never wanted to be one. So, to hell with the world crisis, he would pass this damn responsibility on to someone else. The one standing here at this moment was not the hero Xuanze, but the demon king Xuanze.

"Cough haha ​​...

A surge of passion and madness was awakening within him, and laughter spilled out uncontrollably. Even Edman, standing beside him, couldn't help but show a surprised expression. In Edman's eyes, this man had already transformed into a demon king at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I'll have to trouble you again, Edman."

The magical flames were already burning fiercely.

"Ha, I thought so too." Edman sighed helplessly. "Go ahead and go for it. I and Brother Sinflame are in charge here."

"Haha, you and the Lion King get along quite well."

Xuanze patted his shoulder, walked forward step by step, casually kicked the ground and propelled himself into the air, then unleashed a demon king-level magic.

"Kamaitachi Storm—!"

Xuanze leaped directly into the heart of the enemy ranks, unleashing magic that created a hurricane that swept everyone around him into it. The wind pressure formed sharp blades that sliced ​​through the air, pulverizing everything caught in its path—neither magic nor humans were spared. However, one person broke through the raging wind blades and stood before Xuanze. Without hesitation, Xuanze used the Divine Weapon Register to meet the attack. The impact of the flag spear colliding with the gauntlet shattered the magic, and in the remaining turbulent winds, the two glared at each other.

"Demon King————————!"

"Oh-san————————!"

Zanaba and Xuanze face off head-on!

Chapter 44 The Dragon's Back

While in freefall in mid-air, Savi adjusted his posture, gathered magic power, and enhanced the sword by brushing his fingertips against the blade. Then, he aimed at the end of the arrow and swung the sword with all his might.

Boom-!

The strike produced a dull thud unlike that of a sword, but Savi could see that the arrow had penetrated even deeper as a result.

But that's not enough, it's far from enough.

The black dragon was stung by the blow and began to roar angrily, trying to shake off the insects clinging to it.

To avoid being shaken off, everyone grabbed whatever they could hold onto. Then, Savi saw an even more despairing sight: arrows were being ejected.

So, is this dragon currently healing itself?!

We absolutely cannot let it succeed!

Just as Savi was preparing to launch another attack on the arrows, the black dragon suddenly took flight. During this time, its wings had been repaired, and the sudden wind pressure pressed it onto its back, rendering it unable to move. The same thing happened to everyone else.

"I don't know what you're going to do! But this isn't enough—!"

At this moment, two figures effortlessly rushed up from below, ignoring the wind pressure. One of them was Xiao, who had been separated from them during the fall, and the other was Hao Er, who should have been with Li. Regardless of why Hao Er was here, Savi was certain of one thing: Li had likely already arrived on the battlefield.

"Young Miss! I'll have to trouble you with this!"

"Sister Wenser—!"
