"Shapira, Laser Breath!"
Roaaarrr...
The light from the magic energy gathered in Shapira's mouth. Then along with a loud roar, light shot out towards the 4 Necrodra that came.
4 The necrodra received the Laser Breath direct attack. Their black bodies turned reddish and disappeared into dust. But not only 4 Necrodra were charred into dust, the building in the path of the laser breath was also affected and destroyed as far as 100 meters more.
At first glance it was the deadliest attack of the Dragon King, but in reality it was only a fraction of its original strength.
In the world of the dragons, the Dragon King was the peak of the race known as the strongest in the world. But that does not mean with great power they can use it at will.
There are limits to the power that can be used. The only one unleashed their hidden power only with the Queen they contracted becoming stronger.
As Queen, Diana had been making contracts with Shapira for over 6 years, but she was still unable to bring out the true power of Shapira.
If he could do it, the fight in the Drageas would be easier. This was what made him angry at himself for being too weak.
"Tchh.."
But this is not the time to think about it. He has to do what he can.
Diana glanced around.15 Necrodra now surrounded her with the purpose of besieging her.
The four Dragon Riders and the dragons they rode suffered heavy injuries and caught fire. Diana knew her soldiers were already close to reaching the limit.
"Shapira. There's no other choice. We use that."
Gooaaars...
After confirming Shapira agreed, Diana stood on top of Shapira and jumped high using Shapira's body as a foothold.
In the air Diana's body exuded a powerful blue aura and shone almost within a radius of 20 meters. But not only Diana, Shapira also exuded the same aura.
"That's it..."
"Could Princess Diana have used that?"
"With this, victory is in our hands!'
Diana's men showed happy faces. They knew exactly what Diana and Shapira were doing.
"Synchronization complete. Dragon Gear, activated!"
After saying that, the blue aura throughout Diana's body transformed into a dragon armor that covered her entire body. The armor was a greenish-blue color like the color of Shapira's scales. Diana's body was like a human dragon.
Not only Diana, changes also happened to Gungnir. The size increases with the pattern of dragon scales.
""""Oohh!!""""
Diana's men cheered when they saw Diana successfully use Dragon Gear.
One of the other abilities of the Dragon King Class, they could lend some of their power by forming armor from magic. Dragon Gear itself has various types and ranks depending on the ability of the Queen to make it happen like when realizing magic.
The Dragon Gear that Diana was currently using was the weakest among all the Dragon Gears, even so, it made Diana's strength and defense increase by 10 times.
Rooarr...
Of course the Necrodra did not let Diana just like that, the black Dragon Breath attacked Diana from 3 different directions.
The attack was accepted by Diana. The combined Dragon Breath was so powerful that it destroyed anything that touched it.
"Daughter Diana!!"
The Dragon Riders could only see. It was impossible for Diana to be completely unharmed with such an attack.
But a miracle happened.
"The Sacred Dragon Art!"
While being sad and desperate, Diana's voice sounded in the ears of her men.
At the same time, Diana's figure is seen inside a blue ball preparing to throw Gungnir up.
"Dragon God Spear!!"
With all her might Diana threw Gungnir into the sky. After a while, Gungnir stopped in midair and the number turned into thousands.
The gungnir then crashed and flew towards the 15 surviving Necrodra.
10 Necrodra were instantly killed as their bodies were roasted by the blue flames that appeared in Gungnir. 5 Other necrodras tried to flee, but they fared the same.
In an instant 15 Necrodra had been successfully annihilated.
After seeing the enemy had been successfully annihilated, Diana descended.
He fell to the ground and gasped.
(I didn't expect using Dragon Gear to require this much energy, my goodness how you can survive using Dragon Gear for more than 72 hours, Mr. Kuro)
"Hc .... Ha. ha.a...."
This was the first time Diana had managed to use Dragon Gear, so she had no idea that the energy drained was about the same when using the Sacred Magic Art. No. gabe. Even bigger.
Diana realized it after her body was now barely moved.
"Daughter Diana, are you okay?"
"Princess Diana."
Roobar...
His men came closer with their dragons. Shapira also came to check on Diana's condition.
"I'm fine. I'm just too tired."
"Thank God then."
"But, Dragon Gear is truly extraordinary. A single strike can defeat 15 enemies. " Say the other men.
"Yahh, although not as strong as when Mr. Kuro wore it, ta-Awww! What are you doing!"
The soldier was in pain as Shapira hit him with her tail. Of course it was a harmless attack.
"You're a fool. Although not as strong as Mr. Kuro, but this is the rapid progress of Princess Diana, so naturally Shapira was angry."
"I'm sorry for my sass princess Diana."
Diana's men looked down to regret her words.
Seeing that, Diana only smiled slightly and got up. Then Gungnir reappeared in Diana's hands.
"That's it. Most importantly, everyone survived. How are the other enemies?"
Hearing that question, Diana's men instantly used communication-type magic to contact her comrade elsewhere.
After a while, Diana's men smiled happily.
"Daughter Diana, all remaining enemies were successfully annihilated!"
Everyone cheered to hear the happy news. This made Diana smile as she could now breathe a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately just now that they were able to rest in peace, Shapira suddenly fell silent with a sharp gaze towards the Dragon Grave hill located quite far from the capital.
"Shapira, what's wrong?"
Diana asked because she realized Shapira's strange behavior.
Shapira fell silent and looked towards Diana. Diana understood what Shapira meant and closed her eyes.
After a while, Diana's eyes opened wide and broke into a cold sweat.
"Daughter Diana?"
"Look, there's no time. Quickly tell the Dragon Knights who can still fight to gather here immediately."
"Daughter Diana, what really happened?"
"That's it, quickly do my command!!"
"Alright!"
Diana's men directly contacted their colleagues scattered in various cities. They knew very well that Diana was panicking not for no apparent reason. This is a bad sign for all of them.
30 minutes later, 25 Dragon Knights had already gathered. They were all made up of different types of dragons and all had quite serious injuries.
Looking at their condition, fighting was not a wise move, but Diana had no other choice.
Diana riding Shapira was in front of them all.
"Everyone listen, there are currently around 50 Necrodra types of Holy Demonic Class are flying towards this place!"
Diana's men stared at each other and began to fuss. That was natural since they were already dealing with 50 Necrodra today.
"I know what you're thinking right now. This is the same attack as 6 months ago. The enemy attacked with 100 Necrodra. Thanks to Mr. Kuro we managed to win that time, but this time we have to fight with our own strength."
"............."
"I know you guys think that the chances of us winning are very small. Maybe we'll die, but there's one thing you should know, the fate of this whole country depends on this fight, if we fail, there's no place for our families to stay. Do you want that to happen?"
".............."
Despite being silent, their gazes had already changed.
"In any situation, there will always be hope, but never expect a miracle to come. Miracles only appear if we make miracles with our own hands. This is a word from Mr. Kuro and I continue to believe this word. Now you know what we have to do, right?"
""""OOOOOOOOOHHHH!!""""
All of Diana's men cheered and raised their weapons.
"Destroy them all!!"
""""DESTROY!!!!""""
After that 23 dragons flew to block the 50 Necrodra that came. 3 other dragons ran on the ground because they could not fly.
After a few minutes of flying, Diana began to see 50 black dragons flying towards them. This sight made him pale.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. Attack them with Dragon Breath! Shapira and I are going to use Laser Breath!"
All of Diana's dragon men instantly prepared to use Dragon Breath. Red, blue, yellow, green light appeared in their throats. The same thing Shapira did.
"Everyone attacks at the same time!"
50 Necrodra was already within the range of Dragon Breath. Seeing that Diana quickly ordered her troops to immediately attack.
"YESY!!!!!"
Diana's men directly attacked the enemy with Dragon Breath combined with their respective magic. This makes the Dragon Breath attack stronger, but-
Their enemies did not stay silent and retaliated by taking out a black Laser Breath that had more power than normal Dragon Breath. Not only that the number of Laser Breath is also twice as much.
A huge explosion occurred as Laser Breath and Dragon Breath collided.
"Everyone attack again!!"
Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and outnumbered. More than 30 Laser Breaths now point directly at Diana's army.
Diana knew she could survive using Dragon Gear, but her army did not. He would lose his men and lose this fight.
"Mr Kuro, I'm sorry!!"
While shedding tears, Diana looked directly at the Laser Breath that was coming towards her and her troops.
Boooooommmmmmmmm!!!
A big explosion happened, but-
"Eh? What's going on?"
Diana was shocked to realize she and her men were fine and safe, but how could she?
Koooom!!
The explosion happened again. This time a red light came and attacked the enemy. That light is a Breath Laser, but not a normal Breath Laser.
Laser Breath is capable of destroying 10 enemies in one attack. Diana knew the only dragon with such power.
Roooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarr.
A loud roar sounded from the blood-red, 25-meter dragon that was flying and attacking the group of Necrodra.
"Ruby!"
Diana named the dragon as the strongest dragon of the Dragon King Class type.
"If Ruby is here, could it be that Mr. Kuro is also-"
But after looking at Ruby's back, she didn't see anyone riding.
Roaars..
Shapira let out a small roar telling Diana.
"So apparently, Ruby came to help us."
(Geez, he always comes at the right time.)
Diana smiled slightly. After that he lifted his spear up.
"Everything, Ruby came to help us. We must not waste this opportunity. Everybody attack!!"
""""ooooooohhhhhh!!!""""""
Hopes and wonders have emerged to help them face the enemy.
With a roar, they all flew up and finished off the remaining enemies.
__--\=\=
".......Ro.. Kuro's... Kuro's.. You.. are you conscious?"
".............Lai... la?"
Slowly Kuro opened his eyes. His head was still dizzy and his eyes were still blurred. He also felt his body go limp. But he also felt something soft and warm under his head.
He was currently asleep on Laila's lap. More precisely asleep in a long chair under a tree.
"Why am I here?"
"You suddenly fainted. Oh my, what's really going on?"
Laila looked worried and worried. It was visible from the look in his eyes.
But Kuro only gave a small smile and closed his eyes for a moment.
"I'm just exhausted. Absolute Blade Control requires energy and a lot of concentration. That'sthat's all. Sorry to worry you."
For a moment Laila was silent. He looked angry, but he suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Absolute Magic Control isn't one of Paladin's abilities, why are you-"
"Absolute Blade Control, not Absolute Magic Control. Do you think someone like me could use magic?"
"............."
Laila fell silent. But he understood Kuro's intentions. Absolute Magic Control was an ability that made a Paladin so terrifying. They can be able to minimize their mana so that it becomes zero so that it is indistinguishable from normal people.
Then they could also increase their mana in an instant. For Electra, transforming herself into lightning (lightning) was one of the techniques of mastering Absolute Magic Control.
Kuro is not a magician, so he mastered a different technique to witches, namely Absolute Blade Control.
The Absolute Blade Art. That's the technique Kuro uses to make sculptures, but-
(Wouldn't it take years to master?)
Laila knows because she's learned a lot. Not only magic, but also sword techniques. He had read about the peak ability of a swordsman, Absolute Blade Control.
If Kuro could use such a powerful technique, in school no one would be able to defeat him in sword techniques.
(It's not strange I lost so easily that time.)
Laila still clearly remembered the moment Kuro slashed at her.
"It took me 5 years to master it, but if you are, I think it's best to master Absolute Magic Control. I'm sure with 20 years of practice, you can definitely master it."
"Ugggh... How long as it's stupid."
Kuro seems to say that Laila is still weak that is what makes her angry.
"Ha ha. You're right. I think 18 years you'll have mastered it."
"I am I. I'm just kidding. If you want to master that technique, then all it takes is hard work and proper practice. By the way how long have I fainted?"
"...Hmmm .. I think it's ten minutes. You know it's hard enough to get you here. I even asked others for help."
Kuro fell silent and closed his eyes again. He still felt his body want to rest longer.
Closing his eyes, Kuro said:
"Laila, .....how do you think of me?"
"the opinion? Whatchu mean?"
"Yahhh, I just want to know what you think. You've known me for over a week, so I want to know what you think. But I'm more curious why you never turned down my kiss?"
Laila's face was instantly red. He couldn't possibly say because he knew Kuro was Shiro.
"Basar you are. Aren't you glad I got your stupid kiss. We're dating anyway, so I guess that's a natural thing. Then if you want to hear my opinion about yourself, .. You are the strangest person and I don't understand why there are so many girls around you. Who do you think you are? Harem King? a. ha. ha. ha..."
Laila panted for saying that in a slightly angry and loud tone.
Unfortunately, he did not realize that his words were enough to attract the attention of people around them.
"My me... You're not wrong. There are a lot of girls who like me, and most of them fall in love in a short time. But it seems you're used to seeing people like me. Uhmm...? So it looks."
"Yes. Guess right. I'm used to people like you because I have a more popular sister than you. You know, I used to see girls declare love to my sister every day."
"That's much? But I think he's more unlucky than I am. They fell in love because they wanted something from your brother, but the people who fell in love with me were mostly sincere from their hearts. In short, I have a lot of problems with women."
"Eh?"
If you remember, Alva, Alvi, Dellia, indeed fell in love sincerely with Kuro.
He also recalled that his three friends had also immediately liked Kuro even though they had only met for the first time.
"Laila, do you know the number of girls who have expressed their love for me over the past 4 years?"
"........."
Laila fell silent. However he also realizes this is his chance to find out the other side of Kuro, but-
"Hmmphh. Who wants to know"
"269 girls."
"Huh? ............Eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh."
Laila's shout made her once again the center of attention.
While Kuro only smiled slightly while closing his eyes. He could already guess Laila's reaction, but Kuro did not expect Laila to react that way.
"A-what-you said 269 girls. It was not the level of a Harem King anymore, but it was already a Harem God. Huhhhhh... You wish I said that, right? I don't believe in that shit."
Everyone would show the same reaction when they heard Kuro's words, but Kuro only gave a small smile.
He's not lying.
"Well, I didn't tell you to believe, but I just wanted to tell you a little bit of my life."
"..........."
"I've traveled the world and met a lot of people and of course a lot of girls. I had only met for a day or two, but before long they expressed their feelings. Well, this continues to happen until now. Even Alva and Alvi also expressed their love for me, but-"
"....?"
"Where might I accept their feelings. You must know the reason, right?"
"................"
Laila fell silent and looked the other way. He did not dare to look at Kuro's face even though Kuro was currently closing his eyes, but at the same time, he realized that there was something strange about Kuro.
(Why did you get there like that, I honestly don't understand.)
"............"
"Because that's what I want to ask you, Laila. Do you...like me?"
".........I-I...."
Laila did not dare to continue her words. He doesn't know what he's feeling right now.
Does he like Kuro?
What's the reason she's dating Kuro?
Is it because Kuro is similar to the man in his dreams?
Or because Kuro is Shiro who once saved his life twice?
(What do I really feel right now?)
He doesn't know. He doesn't understand either.
"Hey... Why do you love me? Didn't you just meet me at school 2 weeks ago. You can't say you're in love at first sight, right?"
From the beginning Laila knew Kuro was different from the man who had been expressing love to her. Laila can feel the sincerity of Kuro.
But why can? They only met a few times, even they had a date, but it still does not make Laila understand why Kuro likes her.
"Of course not. I never believed in falling in love at first sight. But if you tell me why I fell in love with you, then the answer is ....."
".........?"
"...I don't know either."
"Huh?"
"That's it. I'm happy even though our relationship is only based on promise. No. gabe. I think this is the best."
At that time, Laila realized that Kuro apparently thought their relationship was only a relationship based on promise. Why did he say the best? Doesn't Kuro love himself? Is that all a lie?
At the same time Laila felt a piercing pain like thousands of needles.
(What's wrong with me?)
"..............."
He really didn't understand what he was feeling right now.
"Huh?"
(He was asleep apparently.)
Laila smiled bitterly as she saw that Kuro had fallen asleep on her lap. But that was when he remembered the white-haired man in his dream.
Not only the faces, but the expressions when they fell asleep were really the same.
In addition, there was one more thing in common between them: the white sword they used to fight.
(Maybe you're really him?)
But Laila has no proof. After all, the white-haired man and Kuro lived in different times.
"Airio... ."
A name emerged from Laila's mouth. It was the name of the white-haired man's lover in his dream. Alice has the ability to manipulate time. Is there a connection to why she has Alice's memory?
30 Minutes more passed. Since then Laila did not move and became Kuro's pillow.
During that time Laila was the center of attention of people who passed by. Laila could only look down with a reddened face as she also realized that her actions were quite embarrassing.
"imm?"
Laila suddenly heard a noise. He looked to the right and saw people gathered along the way.
"Mr princess!"
"..daughter Riana."
There were still many who shouted and mentioned Riana's name.
That made Laila realize why school came home early today and there were no lessons.
"Don't tell me Riana's coming!!"
Laila quickly stood up. He even forgot the existence of Kuro sleeping on his lap.
Kuro fell to the ground with his head hit first. Of course it made him instantly aware.
"Ughh... You're this!!" Kuro said while holding his head.
Unfortunately Laila ignored Kuro and did not care. The only thing Kuro knows is that Laila is happy.
"?"
Kuro is surprised when Laila suddenly holds his left hand and pulls it, no. More precisely drag him.
"HOOI Stop!! I'm not an item."
Laila heard Kuro's words and stopped. He then turned his head towards Kuro who was already in a mess. Kuro looked like a vagrant back then.
"Whaaa. sorry. I didn't mean it."
"........"
Kuro looked unhappy and got up. He tidied up his clothes and returned to the chair to grab his sword.
I don't know why Kuro felt Lic a little heavier.
(I don't think I'm recovering yet.).
After taking Lic, Kuro walked beside Laila towards the crowd.
"Eh... Why did it arrive?"
Kuro was shocked as Laila embraced his arm and stuck to his side This is something Laila rarely does.
"That's it. I'm your boyfriend, so is it okay? ... Could it be.. You don't want to?"
"Nl.."
Kuro is surprised by Laila who suddenly acts sweet. Kuro's face flushed red and did not dare to look at Laila.
Kuro could only sigh smallly, but he was happy.
"I don't want to. But-"
"......?"
Kuro did not dare to continue his words because it concerned a chewy object pressing on his arm. Although not so hopeful from its size.
They finally stood in the back of the crowd. Thankfully they could still see clearly because the person in front of them was the same height.
Shortly afterwards, the sound of horse legs was heard.
6 Black horses lined up neatly on the ridge by the six Knights wearing white armor. They were Holy Knights who specialized in escorting imperial members.
In the middle of the entourage a beautiful and luxurious carriage pulled by 6 white horses.
Everyone knew the carriage was a royal carriage that escorted the third princess of the Houou 'imperial, Riana Levt Vermilist.
In the back of the carriage, 6 White Knights were also escorting and following the carriage neatly.
The royal entourage had not yet passed in front of them, but Laila looked excited and delighted.
"Maybe you know him?"
Kuro asked Laila who was still embracing him.
"of course. Riana and I have been friends since childhood. Even I used to play with him a lot while still living in the capital. You should know because I'm a Paladin princess, you idiot."
"...Well, you're right, ju-hooamm."
Kuro yawned again. He still felt drowsy and tired from using Absolute Blade Control.
"Hey.why do you keep yawning. It's like you haven't slept for days."
"Umm. I haven't slept in days and I'm tired. Frankly I want to hurry to the dorm and sleep."
The sun is almost setting. The sky had already turned into a reddish omen the night soon came.
This also makes Kuro sleepy.
"You are, your work is always sleep."
"Yahh.I'd be happier if you would accompany me to sleep. But we can't afford to be Uggh" yet"
Kuro shouted because Laila pinched Kuro's arm violently.
"Stop making nasty jokes. You should have realized that even if we were dating, I wouldn't be sleeping with you."
Laila then took off her embrace and turned her head towards the street. He could hardly wait to welcome his best friend.
"Dearly enough. Though you were so seductive in those sexy pajamas. .. Hmmm.. Isn't that an invitation to attack you while you're off guard?"
Laila's face immediately turned red as she explained the meaning of Kuro's words.
"Kyaaa. keep your dirty thoughts away. Quickly throw it away or I burn it to dust."
Laila hit Kuro's mukul with her hand. While Kuro receives Laila's punch because he knows Laila's punch is not powered.
"Why should I throw away the things that excite me?"
"Waaaa. pervert basis. Dirty animals. Wolf in sheep's hair!!"
Laila immediately uttered everything she had in mind out loud and added to her strength.
It made him a concern without her noticing. The people around them were even more attentive to them than the troupe of Riana's daughter who had passed by.
"Is that bad?"
"Yes. You're the most bawdy boyfriend I've ever had."
"And I'm the most handsome boyfriend you've ever had."
"I don't know where you got that much confidence, but NO. I think you're just a perverted boyfriend."
"Essum? Me or you? Aren't you the one who's always sleeping with her"
"Whaaaa.. don't say that in front of a stupid crowd!! You fool!! Bawdy!"'
They fought until they became the center of attention. The people around them noticed the quarrel with wry smiles.
Cringggs.
The sound of bells rang out between the sounds of the quarrel of the two of them.
"imm?"
"What's the princess?"
Inside the carriage, Riana glanced towards the window and saw Laila was having a fight with a black-haired man.
Inside the carriage was also a maid accompanying Riana.
The maid also glanced towards the window and found out what Riana saw.
"Ah... Is Miss Laila? I heard he went to school in this town. Mercifully. You haven't seen Miss Laila in a long time, do you think it's a good opportunity. Uhmm princess?"
The maid was confused as she saw Riana speechless. Riana suddenly smiled faintly.
"It's nothing." Riana turned towards Maid. "Yes, you're right Tifa. I'll invite Laila for tea."
"Ahhh. that's a good idea princess. I also can't wait to see Miss Laila again."
Riana then took the white phone and sent a message to Laila. At that moment, Riana asked Tifa.
"Do you know who Laila was fighting with?"
"Eh? Ummmmm.. I think she's Miss Laila's boyfriend. You heard rumors that now Laila has a boyfriend, right? What's the problem?"
".....It's okay what. I'm just curious."
"?"
For the first time, Tifa saw Riana's sweet smile and her attraction towards people she didn't know.
Finally Rianapun's entourage left without Laila knowing.
