Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

The Blad Village Clan

"Kuro, I have something to ask you!"

Charmilia shouted to Kuro who was flying not far from her. Unlike her, Kuro and Laila rode on Laiko.

Kuro stood up and jumped towards Ruby's back.

Even though they were flying at quite a high speed and strong winds, Kuro was able to land perfectly like landing on the ground.

"What do you want to ask?"

Kuro stood not far from Charlmilia who was now sitting holding on because she did not want to fall.

This was the difference between a Dragon Tamer and an ordinary mage.

"We've been flying for hours, but I want to keep asking this. When do we rest?"

"About 2 hours. We will rest in a small lake in the forest. What's the matter you're asking that?"

Charlmilia put her face in trouble and shame.

"Uhmmm.. actually..."

"?"

"Actually...."

Charlmilia had trouble saying what she wanted to say.

Realizing something was strange, Kuro finally understood as Charlmilia trembled slightly while holding her crotch with a reddened face.

"Who's going to the toilet?"

All those riding on Ruby, raised their hands.

Even Laila did.

"Are you kidding me?"

Kuro finally could only sigh deeply.

After finding a fairly wide and open place in a forest, they all landed.

Jinn and Knox immediately jumped up and ran towards the bush. Aldest, Laila, and Charlmilia did the same. Of course it's inappropriate, but there's no choice. It's emergencies.

Kuro doesn't know where Lairo is going, but he's hoping not to peek at Laila.

About 10 minutes, all back to the resting place.

"Where's Lairo?" ask Aldest.

"I'm not her nanny. You should have known because you were her lover."

"Eh, Aldest and Lairo are lovers?"

"Mufu....."

Aldest just smiled faintly and did not answer.

It seems he doesn't want to know what the relationship is between him and Lairo.

"imm? Did you hear that?"

Charlmilia warned because she heard something strange.

The noise was like a fallen tree heading towards them.

"There may be a monster approaching. Yui.."

"Yup yup..."

"There's been a change of plans. We'll rest here and have lunch."

"Both Brother Kuro."

Yui prepared her two daggers and took a fighting position.

Kuro just sat on a fallen tree casually. While all other than Kuro and Yui were merely dumbfounded.

The sound is getting louder. They could all see a fallen tree.

After a while, they saw a figure emerging from the bush.

"Everyone run!!!"

It was Lairo who was running at high speed.

His face was deathly pale and sweaty as if chased by a ghost, but all now knew why the monsters were approaching them.

All who saw that were shocked and immediately put up a fighting position like Yui.

Lairo got to and passed them all before stopping due to a dead end.

"He's a fool, isn't he?"

"I agree." replied Aldest.

"Ha. haa... haa."

Lairo gasps.

"What happened to Lairo?"

"Ahh I was thinking of finding water before we left, but I met a monster."

"Stupid. If you need water, why don't you ask Yui? She's a water witch."

"uh? Why didn't you say?"

"Why don't you think we're carrying anything, you idiot!?"

"..............."

Lairo was silent because he realized his stupidity.

"All right, you fool!"

"God..."

"By the way, what monster did you meet?"

"Tyrano."

All were shocked to know that Tyrano's monster was a giant beast. A fallen tree is proof that Lairo doesn't lie.

Kuro smiled happily at Lairo's reply.

"good. You're not so stupid, apparently."

"What do you mean?"

But Kuro only smiled a little.

At the same time the fallen tree was getting heard and the ground was shaking as well.

Rooooa...

They had also heard Tyrano's roar.

Before long, Tyrano emerged from behind a fallen tree. His mouth was open and showed hundreds of his canines.

Everyone gets ready to fight, but-

Tyrano was frozen. That Tyrano even now turned around and wanted to run away.

Tyrano was definitely aware of dying when he saw a 25-meter dragon that was 3 times bigger than him. Instead of eating, he will be a meal.

"Yui, don't let him run away!"

"Okayie! Accell Blade Art's.."

Yui's body was filled with a white aura. Both of his daggers were elongated like swords, but were made of [Ki].

After which, Yui's figure disappeared.

""

Yui appeared near Tyrano who arrived motionless.

"FUUH..."

Yui sighed and walked back through Tyrano, whose head had fallen and fallen. Blood then suddenly spurted and splattered into various places such as rivers.

Everyone who saw it could only widen their eyes.

"imm? What's up?"

They didn't give a response.

Yui tilted her head in ignorance. He then decided to rest after putting the dagger back in its place.

"Well, it's time we eat."

"Oh. uhhh..."

They only smiled wryly as they were going to eat Tyrano as lunch.

In the magical world, moving at high speed was normal. But they realized Accell Art's speed had a different level.

Accell Art is like a cat racing with ants compared to speed magic.

And even though magicians trained their eyes and bodies or used magic to sharpen the sense of sight, but to match the Accell Art, it seemed that they had to be Master-level.

After cutting the Tyrano into a size that can be eaten by humans. Kuro cooks by making it into satay.

Thanks to the cooking seasoning that Yui always brought, they were all able to taste quite delicious cuisine.

While the rest of Tyrano's body, of course, was given to the 3 dragons who ate voraciously. As the biggest dragon, Ruby got the biggest ration.

"I didn't expect Tyrano's meat to be this delicious!"

Jinn said as she chewed her food.

He sat next to Knox and Charlmilia..Not far from him, Lairo and Aldest were sitting on different tree trunks.

While Kuro sat in the middle of Yui and Laila like a sandwich.

In the middle of them a bonfire lit up and smoke soared high as well as spreading the aroma of roasted meat.

"Not only that, a simple condiment makes the meat even more delicious."

Charlmilia added.

Lairo now feeds Aldest like a lover, but he looks uncomfortable.

A complicated relationship. It seems to be suitable for both of them.

"We in the Blad clan always hunt monsters to serve as the main food, so we know very well which parts of the monsters are good to eat and which ones are not. Is that Kuro's sister?"

Kuro nodded.

"Are you not tired of eating meat every day?" ask Knox.

"We don't want to eat anything but meat, but we have no choice. Did you forget we lived in the Rukia forest?"

Besides known as the most dangerous forest, Rukia forest is also dark because sunlight does not reach the ground.

If sunlight does not reach, the vegetables will not grow. Moreover, if the Blad clan were to clear the land, it would be tantamount to informing the existence of the Blad clan to the enemy.

"That's what it looks like."

"But I was more surprised to know that Yui could use Accell Art like Kuro."

"Yes yes. I was surprised too. Honestly, I don't think Accell Art can just use it."

"Charlia, you're wrong, but you're right."

"What do you mean?" ask Jinn.

"Accell Art can be learned by anyone, even you can learn it."

The faces of Jinn, Knox, and Charlmilia instantly looked excited.

"But if you don't have a strong body, you will die."

They instantly fell silent as well as widened their eyes.

"Ku-Kuro, don't scare. If you say you can't, you're honest."

"Yes. Don't play us."

Jinn was upset about being played. Knox and Charlmilia felt the same way.

"He's not lying."

Aldest suddenly interrupted.

"The Accell Art Principle actually uses great energy to move at high speed and control it. Therein lies the difficulty and the most dangerous thing."

"We know it, but-"

"I'll give you the picture. For example, there is a bullet. Bullets are fired using gunpowder. Gunpowder is the energy used to move at high speed. The question is whether the bullet can move as we see fit?"

They all fell silent.

"Even though we are witches, our bodies are still made of blood and flesh. If we do anything beyond the means of the body, we're bound to destroy ourselves and die." Aldest added.

"In other words, the person using Accell Art must have a demon-equivalent body to be able to survive it."

"Knox, it's as if Kuro is a demon."

"Is he not a demon?"

".................."

"Hoy... What do you mean?"

Kuro protested because he thought their jokes were exaggerated.

"It's been.., but it's natural that we think that way. You're a commoner, but you're the strongest among us."

Jinn's right. And everyone agrees with that opinion.

"Well, I'm the strongest if I'm normal. Accell Art has a side effect that makes me very weak right now."

"What are the side effects when you use a technique that cuts off my hands and feet?"

"Yup. But your words make me feel like a sadist."

"You are sadistic."

"Ugh..."

Not only sadistic, but also cruel for mutilating a live girl alive.

"From that, we'd better discuss what your plan is. You're leading this journey and you'd better tell us about the enemy we're going to face in Dragonia."

Kuro realized what Aldest meant.

"I understand. Well, I'll explain. First, we're going to Dragonia. The journey will probably take 5 days if we fly at that speed."

"It was a long journey. And I don't think it's a fun trip."

"I told you you didn't have to come. We can actually fly faster, but you're not used to it yet, so here's my question. We're flying like we were or faster?"

"If you?" ask Jinn.

"If I go alone, I can get to Dragonia in less than 3 days. To be honest, I actually want to leave rather than rest here."

"Is that the current situation of Dragonia?"

"Jinn, you know what?"

"Don't know the details, but there's a rumor that Dragonia was attacked by a Necromancer and it's a mess right now. Even though we both know that, we'll still be coming."

"We will fight the Necromancer to practice a real fight. It's a good opportunity and we're not gonna waste this opportunity."

Knox added.

Kuro now knows why they approached Ruby. They wanted to leave, but their pride was too high to ask.

"alright. Then we'll fly at full speed. You bind yourself using Mana Art on Ruby's body so as not to fall. How's it?"

Aldest nodded. Lairo had only been quiet since.

"If it's the best, why not?"

Knox and Jinn don't mind either.

"We have agreed. So this is what we're gonna do."

"""...................."""

"We will fly 6 hours and rest for 1 hour. We will buy food in the city for 4 days because we cannot hunt because it will take time. Everybody understood?"

Everyone nodded.

"As additional information, we will rest in the village of the Blad clan for 3 hours while passing through the Rukia forest because I need to. With all these plans, we will arrive at Dragonia in less than 4 days."

Even though it was only reduced by one day, it was better than 5 days.

"One thing I wanted to ask you," suddenly Lairo interrupted.

"What?"

"Why don't we use teleportation magic? I'm sure it's faster than flying."

Everyone was silent and had the same thoughts.

"Your love is so stupid."

"I didn't think he was that stupid."

"I know, but I still like it. fufu fu.."

Lairo's face was instantly crimson with embarrassment and playfulness.

The question makes sense because in every country there is teleportation magic as a liaison.

"We can't use transportation magic that's why we fly. Why didn't your mind think about it?"

"Lairo, just so you know, Dragonia isn't very familiar with other countries, so they don't have teleportation magic between countries."

"Now do you understand, stupid?"

"But I'm smarter than you."

"Ughhhh..."

Realizing he would not win arguing with Kuro, Lairo could only clench his hand and curse Kuro from the inside.

After arguing over a ridiculous matter, they continued on their way.

They are doing what was planned. They stopped not far from the city and bought necessities for 4 days.

They ate and drank on Ruby's back. They even slept on Ruby with the blankets they bought in town.

They make unpleasant journeys, but no one complains. It's too late for that.

After two days of travel, they almost reached the Rukia forest. The most dangerous forest in the world.

A forest with tall, dark trees. Not only that, the forest was already emitting an ominous aura despite being seen from afar.

"Lairo, is there a problem?"

"....no, this is where my father died."

For Lairo, the Rukia Forest was his father's final resting place while performing his duties as a Knight.

And the man who killed his father was nearby. Worse, he now helps the man who killed his father.

"I was angry and sad when I found out my father was dead, but I can't blame the Witch Reaper for killing my father to protect his family."

Aldest smiled then hugged Lairo gently from behind.

"That is the reality of this world. We can't expect everything to go with what we want. ..but what makes me happy is that you're more mature, Lairo."

"....maybe that's why you took me?"

Aldest just smiled lightly and answered Lairo's question.

"I want you to look directly at the man who killed your father. What do you think after seeing it?"

"......honestly, I don't understand him. He suddenly told me he was weak. At that time I immediately thought of taking revenge, but I immediately remembered my father who became a Knight for my mother and me."

"Yes. Uncle Straus is a man who dreams of becoming a hero of justice. That's a funny reason, but it's also the best reason. Fufu.."

"You're really friendly..."

Charmilia suddenly gave her comment.

"of course. It's the day we officially become fufu's lovers..."

"Aldest... Don't say that!"

Lairo's face flushed.

"Eh? Aren't you guys dating for a long time?"

"No, last night I declared my love. I'm afraid I'm going to die so at least I'm telling you how I feel since I was a kid."

"Ohh... Are you childhood friends?"

Aldest smiled slightly and nodded.

"She's a childhood friend who always played me and prank me. Did you know that she was very tomboyish when she was little?"

"Ara. Don't say things that make me remember the past."

"Ahaha.your childhood must have been fun."

"Yes. Fun, isn't it Lairo?"

Lairo was pale and did not answer. He seemed to be reminded of something bad.

Without them noticing, they had already reached above the Rukia forest.

They were a little surprised when Ruby suddenly flew down. Not only Ruby, Laiko and Rubya also flew down.

"Charl, it seems we'll be there soon."

"I know that, but did you guys see the village?"

"No. We didn't see it." Jinn replied.

Ruby flew down towards the dense forest. They realize there's no landing, but why keep landing?

After nearly crashing through the trees, Charlmilia felt like she was passing something thin. Not only him, everyone felt the same way.

"It right?"

Charlmilia was surprised to learn they landed in a slightly open and quite wide area. It seems to be made for where the dragons landed.

(Illusion shield?)

Illusion Shield is like a shield in general, but has an additional form of illusion. Usually, this kind of shield is used to hide something.

After looking around, he also saw some houses made of wood. He realized he had reached a village.

From the house, came a person who appeared to be a resident of the village.

The old man who looked strong and muscular welcomed them.

"Dad..."

Yui jumped down and hugged the man.

"Ohh.. Yui... Kuro. You're back."

The muscular old man who greeted them was the leader of the Blad clan and at the same time the father of Yui and Kuro. Although his body was stocky, but his face looked friendly.

"I'm home, Dad."

Yui's father stroked Yui's head with his big hand.

"Thank God you're okay."

Yui's father turned towards Kuro. He smiled as he looked at the stranger who was with Kuro and the black dragon he had just seen for the first time.

But when he saw Aldest and Lairo, he narrowed his eyes because he knew Aldest and Lairo exuded different auras.

"Kuro, you always throw tantrums. Now what are you doing? And who are they?"

"Don't make me sound like a bully, Dad."

Kuro approached with Laila. The others followed Kuro from behind.

"You're a crime-maker, Kuro."

"Eh?"

He was surprised because the one who said was Laila.

All who heard it nodded along with the compact.

"Hoy...."

"You're never aware of your own actions?"

"....no. I'd better introduce you to my father. This girl is Laila. 3 that delinquent is my classmate. 2 that guy's a couple who just so-ugh.. Hey don't throw a rock at me."

"Who do you call a delinquent, asshole!"

"Of course you guys. From the left Jinn, Knox, to the big-breasted Charlmilia. They are Lairo and Aldest. They were both Knights in the city of Areshia."

Finally Kuro finished introducing them all. ...in a way that was arguably brazen.

"Knight ..kah..."

"Don't worry, if all we got to do is kill them and give me Ouch's corpse."

Laila pinches Kuro when she hears of Kuro's evil plans.

"Don't joke at a time like this."

"Yes yes..."

The events of a few years ago are very famous and are still a talk today.

From Father Yui's reaction, the Knight still seemed to be hated in the Blad clan.

"We did kill those who did such a thing and disturbed the peace of the village, that was the principle of the Blad clan. So don't take Kuro's joke seriously."

Although Father Yui said with a smile, it was no different from what Kuro said. Everyone understood this was an indirect warning.

"My name is Roka Yuuki. The leader of this village. You guys must have a hard time with Kuro. We understand your feelings."

"Ugh."

Kuro has been known as a prologue maker since childhood even by his own family. Now they know it.

"Kuro, one thing I want to know. What's your relationship with this sweet girl?"

"Ohh La"

"Dad, Brother Laila is Kuro's future wife."

Yui cut Kuro's words in a cheerful tone.

Upon hearing Kuro's relationship with Laila, Roka fell silent. But after a while it showed a sinister face and directly hit Kuro with full force in the abdomen.

"God..."

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU IDIOT....!!!"

Roka was really angry.

Kuro who received a crushing blow flying at high speed finally stopped because he hit a tree until it fell.

All who saw it were unable to respond because Roka hit Kuro suddenly. Even including the 3 dragons who were always ready to protect Kuro.

"Kurooo...."

Laila ran over to Kuro with a worried face.

"Yui, is that okay?"

Charlmilia is approaching. Despite asking that, Charlmilia looked calm.

"He deserves that. Uncle thank you."

"Thank you for replacing us."

Jinn and Knox came closer with happy faces.

"Well, I should do that as a parent, ..but hearing that from you, that boy must have seduced the girl at your school."

"You really know what it looks like."

"Uncle must have had a hard time."

I don't know why the three of them nodded and sighed simultaneously.

Although they had only met for the first time, a bond seemed to have been established between the three of them.

"Oh, Dad, where are the others?" ask Yui.

Although it was a village, it was too strange if there was only Father Yui in that place.

"They're in their usual place. You know a clock like this they're all studying. Some are buying groceries with Charlotte. I think they'll be back soon."

"That's what it looks like."

"You must be tired. Even though the village is small, I hope you can consider your own home. Yui please take them to the village."

"Okay..."

"You guys follow Yui. Although I want to chat, but there's something I have to do. ....personally."

Yui then walked away.

Jinn and the others unhesitatingly followed Yui in quick succession despite not knowing where they were going.

"See you later, Uncle."

Jinn waved her hand before parting ways.

After parting ways, Yui invites her to enter one of the wooden houses.

From the outside they know the house looks simple, but when they enter it, they find something surprising.

"The lift?" Lairo says.

A high-tech elevator was inside the house.

"This place is just a place for dragons to land and leave. Our village is actually inside an underground cave."

"Type..."

"But is it okay are we leaving Kuro and Laila? I know your father's punch wasn't a regular punch."

Charlmilia's words are not wrong.

They realize that Roka not only has a large and stocky body, but also has tremendous power even though he does not use magic like Kuro.

"Just calm down, brother Kuro will be fine ..maybe."

"Hey..."

They all got into a fairly large elevator and went down into the underground without Kuro and Laila.

"Yui... could this elevator be moved without using Magnite?"

Magnite is a crystal that is used as energy for technology that uses magic (Magitec).

The phones they now use all even use Magnite as a battery. Magnite is like mana energy that comes from nature and becomes crystal, which is why magicians can sense mana energy from Magnite even though it is weak. That's why when they entered the elevator, they all realized that the elevator was not using Magnite.

"Yup. Not just elevators, most of my village's energy needs don't use Magnite."

"So you guys use purely scientific technology?" ask Aldest.

He seems to be interested in the technology in Yui village because things like pure technology are very rare in the world.

"Yes. We don't want the enemy to know this place, so we don't have to use magic technology."

"But I'm a little surprised you guys can make an elevator this sophisticated. Could there be alchemists in your village?"

Alchemists are known as technology developers or scientists. Most of them are in the capital and make the latest technology for the military as well as the public.

"No. Even the number of witches in our village is few.... We arrived.."

After the elevator stopped, the door opened and revealed a bright light like sunlight from the sky of the cave.

Their eyes all widened upon seeing such an amazing and unbelievable sight.

A village was built in a cave that is 5 times the size of a football field. The house in the village was partly made of stone, but it looked as luxurious and elegant as a modern house.

Parks are also in various corners of the village. Even more surprising, trees and grass flourished in that place.

"Welcome to my village."

Everyone got out of the elevator and felt a cool breeze. They could hardly tell if they were inside the cave or the surface.

But they knew now that they were right inside a cave when they looked at the sky that had no sun, but plenty of bright light instead.

"Hey.. Lairo. Looks like we found a place for the honeymoon."

"Did?"

Lairo froze in place due to getting a bad premonition.

While Lairo gets into trouble, Yui steps her foot down a path that is also made of neatly arranged and flat stones.

All followed, but somehow Aldest got very sticky with Lairo and clasped his hands tightly.

"We rest at my house until Kuro's business is done. Until then, you're free to rest or walk, but I warn you that my village is a little wary of strangers, so let me know if you want to leave."

"All right."

"We understand."

"One more thing. You don't do anything weird because Emera will eat you right away if you do that."

"Emera, ready-"

"Wooooaaa...."

Suddenly Jinn shouted. His face was panicked and deathly pale as his body was suddenly lifted up by something invisible. More precisely his clothes were bitten by something invisible and large.

"That's Emera."

A pair of big blue eyes suddenly appeared in the air right behind Jinn. After that a huge creature suddenly appeared like a demon.

A 25-meter-long blue dragon suddenly appeared in front of all of them.

"Don't tell me..."

"I'll introduce my dragon and be one of the guards of this village, Emera. As you can see, Emera is just like Ruby. One of the 13 Dragon King Class."

Emera dropped Jinn to the ground and roared small. Unlike Ruby, Emera looks more docile.

But they also realize that Emera has an extraordinary ability to disappear. Not only that, but its existence also does not feel like it never existed.

Assassin Dragon may be a fitting nickname for Emera.

Jinn who landed with her buttocks immediately stepped back in fear.

"Hmmm... That's a guarantee our honeymoon won't be interrupted. Isn't Lairo?"

"What did you say?"

Lairo really doesn't understand what Aldest is thinking right now.

"Emera just warned you, so I hope you all understand what you can do and what you can't do here."

"Yes yes." replied Charlmilia.

They all travel to Yui's house and leave Emera.

"But by the way.What's Kuro's business?"

".....That's..."

Yui looked sad before answering Charlmilia's question like a bad sign.
