Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

The Arrive at Dragonia

"Kuro, when are we here? You said it was close, but I didn't see any city. .. You didn't lie, did you?"

"We're already in Dragonia. Didn't you notice?"

"You should know where we might know in the dark like this. Your eyes are too sharp for a human being."

"Are you really human?"

"........."

Kuro did not answer. I don't know why he often heard that question this late.

After flying for nearly 12 hours, they arrived in Dragonia, but because it was night and dark, no one knew if they had arrived or not.

Even though the moon is full, but because the clouds are a little cloudy, then no one can see clearly.

Kuro and Laila are not riding Laiko, but are riding Ruby with Charlmilia, Jinn and Knox.

Lairo and Aldest are now riding Laiko. Both.

After all the secrets are revealed, Kuro tells Aldest to tell him what happened for two years.

The reason why Aldest knew Lairo's father, Straus Licrofa was still alive and why he didn't return to the capital. Now all they do is wait.

"We've arrived, if it's light we should have seen the capital Drageass, but-"

"We haven't seen the light of the lamp yet..."

Kuro nodded confirming Laila's word.

"It's possible that the Drageass has been leveled with the ground he hehee" Charlmilia said in a joking tone.

"....you may be right, but I'm sure they should still be holding on because there's a Dragon King on their side."

Although it had been a week since the massive attack, Kuro knew Diana would still be able to survive.

"Hey look, could it be Drageass?"

Jinn suddenly shouted.

All of them glanced towards the light coming from an explosion. The explosion was large enough that the buildings around the blast could be clearly seen.

But if it is called a building, it is not suitable because it has been destroyed and flattened with the ground.

"Hey.it's worse than I imagined.."

"....."

Not only one explosion, but dozens of other explosions suddenly appear to burn all objects into charcoal.

Amongst the flames were dozens of night-deep black dragons roaring and taking out Dragon Breath blindly destroying whatever was before their eyes.

The scene was both terrifying and terrifying like hell. That's what they all see now.

But among the black dragon, a bluish light and a greenish-blue dragon were seen fighting with one of the black dragons.

From its size, they all knew it was a Dragon King Class just like Ruby, but the dragon looked injured and overwhelmed despite facing a dragon that was half a time his body.

"Ruby, full speed!!"

Realizing Shapira can't last long, Kuro orders Ruby to fly faster.

All were shocked as arriving speed increased. Jinn almost fell down, but fortunately she held on.

Laiko also increased her speed and followed even though her flying speed was not as fast as Ruby.

"Kurus..."

Laila had only seen Kuro for the first time.

"Sorry, but we have to be quick. Everybody listen!!"

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

"As I explained, Necrodra could only be killed by beheading or destroying 70% of her body. I hope you're not careless and follow my words."

All of them only smiled faintly, but they showed great fighting spirit.

"I'll go first, Laila you stay with Ruby no matter what. Understood?"

"Eh?"

Before long, they reached above the Dragonian capital, Drageass, but they were struck by a scene more terrifying than it seemed.

Dozens of dragons noticed Ruby's presence and gazed towards the sky. There were some who flapped their wings and flew towards Ruby.

Ruby roared and instantly let out a Laser Breath towards the dragons flying towards them.

Most of Necrodra's body was charred to dust and destroyed.

"Wow.... That's so cool."

"Jinn, this is not the time to do that. There are still many Necrodra to come, so be prepared!!"

"Hmmp. You too, fool!"

At the same time, Jinn activated her magic arm. While Kuro stood up and held Lic tightly.

"Everyone, I hope you're not dead!"

Kuro jumped despite still being at an altitude of 300 meters.

Everyone was shocked when Kuro did that. Especially Laila.

Kuro slid down like an eagle preparing to pounce on its prey with a sword.

3 Necodra flew right towards Kuro and attacked Kuro using Dragon Breath.

The light from the burning flames spread out in all directions in the air and engulfed Kuro's body.

"Kuros?"

Laila was speechless frozen when she saw that from Ruby's back. He saw Kuro being swallowed by the fire and dying. At least that's what it looks like.

"Are you stupid, look good good!"

Charlmilia realized Laila was frantically telling her to watch Necrodra who was now decapitated.

"Eh?"

Not only one, two other Necrodra also beheaded suddenly arrived within a few seconds.

Laila then saw a white light in the darkness coming from Kuro's sword.

Kuro floated in the air and kicked the air to move. At the same time he used Accell Art to cut off Necrodra's head.

All those who saw it could only hold their breath.

"Who's the monster here?" knox.

If Necrodra was a living dragon, then they were looking at a massacre.

Kuro then kicked the air to move at high speed in the air towards Necrodra which was still left quite a lot.

"We can't let him party alone, can we?"

Jinn smiled a sign of thinking the same thing as Charlmilia.

Charlmilia jumped down just like Kuro, but she didn't fall down like Kuro.

Charlmilia floated in the air then in an instant 2 wings of wind appeared on her back like a bird.

Laila, Jinn and Knox could only widen their eyes seeing that.

"Don't be surprised, all wind witches can do this."

Sure didn't.

Wind element magicians can indeed control the wind to fly, but growing wings and flying only a small percentage of wind magicians can do so.

Not only that, a sword suddenly appeared in Charlmilia's hands.

From its shape, the sword is the same sword that the Byakko turned into a Byakura.

But right now Charlmilia had only created her sword.

After having a weapon, Charlmilia flew towards Necrodra which was located quite far from Kuro at high speed.

"Now what should we do? I can't fly or do acrobatics like Kuro."

"I don't know what you're gonna do, Knox, .. But I don't want him to always get the best part."

After saying that, Jinn jumped down like a rock that fell straight down.

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

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

Laila and Knox don't know if what Jinn's doing is cool or stupid.

When he was not noticed, Jinn stopped in midair. Under his feet was a thin circle like glass he used to support his body in the air.

It's one Mana Art that any magician can do, but not everyone can maintain staying in the air like Jinn.

This was one of the results of his hard training after hearing Kuro being able to kick air.

If well thought out, kicking the air is simply compressing the air like a wall and making it a foothold in the air. In theory it sounds easy, but Jinn realizes it's impossible for her.

Then he created an Air Wall that was completely different from Kuro.

He made a wall in a certain coordinates and then used it as a foothold unlike Kuro who created a wall in the moment he moved.

"........."

Jinn looked around.

He saw Kuro finish off Necrodra in a cruel and quick manner. Now there are only 8 Necrodra left.

Not far from Kuro the light blue dragon was fighting one of the same Necrodra as Laiko, Holy Demonic Class.

With a quick movement, the Necrodra dodged Shapira's attack and attacked using the Dragon Ball.

Thousands of fireballs attacked Shapira at the same time. Mostly about Shapira and make Shapira roar in pain.

There was someone near Shapira who was wearing a blue-colored Dragon Gear and armed with a blue spear. He also looked exhausted and could not move much.

Meanwhile, Charlmilia was dealing with a Necrodra.

Charlmilia managed to evade Necrodra's attack. He could even dodge the Dragon Breath attack by flying agilely through the air.

He looks troubled against one Necrodra. Despite successfully attacking with a few slashes, Necrodra's wounds recovered in a matter of seconds.

"It's harder than I thought!"

But when he sees Kuro defeating Necrodra easily, he realizes the reason why Princess Diana asked Kuro for help personally.

While being confused and troubled, he heard a voice coming from above.

"Sacred magic art, Armageddon."

Jinn glided at high speed right into the body of Necrodra who was fighting against Charlmilia and attacked using his sacred magic art. Necrodra's body shattered and scattered in all directions. All that was left was Jinn who still hit the ground and created a crater.

"Whha.... What happens if you get inside the dragon's mouth?"

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

He had no idea why Charlmilia would make such a comment.

Jinn then stood up to correct her posture.

Charlmilia flew low beside him.

"Are you okay after using that?"

"You think who I am? I can now do it three times, maximum."

Although the running exercise sounded a little silly, Jinn now already knew the results of the exercise. Not only his physical strength, but also with his mana.

"just that? I thought you could do more."

"I'm not your kind of monster. For me to be able to use 3 times is a great progress."

"Yes yes.., but did you realize it?"

"....Yeah. .. No one's here."

They could only see the rubble and debris of the destroyed and flattened buildings on the ground. Many scars burned in various places as a sign of the former fight.

Now they know why there is no light in the city.

"What I don't understand is, why is only one dragon fighting?"

There was no other dragon besides the greenish-blue dragon they had seen so far.

This is very surprising considering that Dragonia is the country that has the most dragons in the world.

"See, but we'd better be quick to help that guy. I don't think he can hold out much longer."

Jinn nodded. The two of them then ran towards Diana and Shapira.

Meanwhile, Kuro is dealing with 3 Necrodra.

He was surrounded from 3 directions and trapped.

His breath gasped for breath and he could feel his body burning. He could use Accell Art to finish off Necrodra, but his body had already reached its limit.

If he uses it again, maybe the bones in his body will break. It was very bad if the enemy were to increase again.

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

He glanced at the 3 dragons that surrounded him. They were all Fire Dragon Class resurrected. Like Laiko, they are able to move quickly.

"Tchh.."

(Only three more.).

He was confused because he was in trouble.

It was then that a reddish light shot straight from above and destroyed one of the Necrodra.

It was the shrunken Laser Breath Ruby. Thanks to that, Kuro did not get scorched.

Kuro turned his head up and smiled happily, but upon seeing Laila jump off Ruby's back, Kuro panicked half to death.

In the air, Laila gave rise to Scarflare. No. gabe. Scarflare Hundreds.

Laila then positioned her hand like she was holding a sword.

At the same time, hundreds of Scarflare united and became a gigantic sword.

It was one of Laila's sacred magic arts, Giganflare that was specialized to kill giant creatures.

"Yahoooo!!'

Laila slashed one of the Necrodra with her giant sword like tofu slashing.

One Necrodra left.

Ruby landed right on top of Necrodra and crushed him like a rock. Not only that, Ruby bit Necrodra's head until it broke off and fell to the ground.

On top of Ruby, Knox looks shocked and just lies down.

Elsewhere, Diana fights one Necrodra with Shapira.

One Necrodra is arguably not a heavy opponent, but if in normal conditions and not injured.

His body had already reached the limit and was difficult to move like a wooden puppet. He also had trouble defending Dragon Gear, but thanks to Shapira, he was still able to defend it.

"Hurry away!!"

"Eh?"

He was shocked when a girl's voice came.

He looked up which was the source of the direction of the voice.

Diana found a girl (?) he was flying with a large white ball in front of him.

Diana could feel the immense pressure from the white ball. He then understood the meaning of the words of the flying girl to get away immediately.

"Durin!"

Shapira roared and pushed Necrodra's body towards the building that was about to collapse.

Knowing Diana was already out of range, Charlmilia fired a plasma that had the power equivalent to Laser Breath towards Necrodra.

Necrodra's body shattered along with the building behind her.

"Ha.. huh..."

Diana fell down and could barely stand up, but before she fell down, someone's hand held her.

That person is Kuro.

"It's all over..."

"..yes." yeah."

At the same time Diana took off the Dragon Gear that enveloped her body.

Her pretty face and blue hair are now visible. Well-favoured. That was the impression of the person who first saw it.

From the east, the sunlight began to erase the darkness of the night and replace it with a warm light.

At the same time, a body full of cuts and bruises was seen all over Diana's body. Not only that, his clothes which were thin armor shattered in various places and exposed his body and white skin.

Diana suddenly hugged Kuro.

Laila and Jinn jumped in surprise. Laila looked like she wanted to instantly separate the two of them, but she instantly undoed her intentions when she saw the water dripping profusely from Diana's eyes.

"Mr Kuro, .. you've finally come..."

"Yes. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"...no. You don't have to ask.sorry..."

Diana suddenly fainted in Kuro's arms.

Kuro only smiled slightly, and said:

"It seems you've worked hard while waiting for us, Diana. .....Shapira you too."

Shapira roared a small tone like helpless.

It was at this point that Laiko appeared and landed not far from them.

"What did we miss?"

And the fool asks.

--------------------------

---------

----

Several hours passed after Necrodra's attack was stopped.

All are resting to restore power in buildings that can still be used.

The city that was flat on the ground was now clearly visible. Smoke and fire are still visible in various places still reminiscent of last night's events.

"It's really terrible..."

Jinn was looking at the scene that symbolized destruction.

"....Now I understand why Kuro forbade us to come here."

Charlmilia sat near Jinn while eating the provisions they prepared while in the village of the Blad clan.

"...and I guess an attack like last night was just a minor one..."

".....Yeah." yeah."

The two of them looked towards the dragon head-shaped mountain south of Dragonia. The mountain was named Dragon Grave.

Dragon Grave is a place used to bury dragons that have been dead for more than 1000 years.

Above the Dragon Grave tens to hundreds of flying bats were circling like a wasp shrouding a sweet flower. Unfortunately, it wasn't a bat, but a Necrodra.

"If all those Necrodra attack, we'll die right away. How's this....?"

"It's too late to escape. You know that, right?"

The only way home is by riding the dragon again or walking, but there is no guarantee that Necrodra will not attack.

Jinn understands this.

"Who wants to run away? I'm a long way from here not just for tea. Ohhh... Kuro, is it okay you came here?"

Kuro came closer while carrying the sandwich in his hand.

He was unharmed, but his face looked pale and exhausted.

"Ahh.... I'm just tired."

"Then how is the princess?"

"....Diana was gone. Thankfully Aldest can magic healers like Yui. Good thing we brought someone like him."

Although Kuro says Aldest is like an item, but they both agree with Kuro.

"Kuro, what should we do? Stay in this place or..... go to that palace?" ask Charlmilia.

The only building that is still intact is Fafnir's palace which can even be said to be not scratched in the slightest.

This was natural as Fafnir's palace had a shield strong enough to withstand Necrodra's attacks over the past week.

That means, Fafnir Palace is the safest place today. The one who was still alive was most likely in the palace.

"We can go there at any time, but right now we prioritize waiting for them to recover. I know it's dangerous out here, but we don't have a choice because it's too weird."

"You mean this place is now like a ghost town?"

Kuro nodded.

"In addition, even though Diana survived, no one came here even just to check things out" Kuro added.

"In other words we must wait for the Princess to know what happened ... I don't like this."

Charlimilia then ate with an annoyed face.

"By the way you've been here a few months, haven't you?"

"Yes. I even helped defeat the Necromancer, but if remembered again, I really do have bad memories in this city."

"Bad memories? It's hard to believe that word came out of your mouth."

"Don't be stupid. Everyone has bad memories, including me. Oh right, while waiting for him to wake up, Jinn can I ask you a favor?"

"If there's anything I can help you with, just say it!"

"I've heard from Diana that under the city there are tunnels leading to the palace for evacuation. I need you to look for him. Can you do that?"

".....That easy. Leave everything to me."

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

Jinn then went towards the palace on foot.

He activated his magic arm and hit the ground while closing the ground.

He concentrated on sensing the vibrations present on the ground while imagining the information his brain received.

"Kuro, are we going to the palace through the tunnel?"

"No. I had Jinn search the tunnel just to make sure of something. We'd be safer if we were closer to Ruby and Shapira anyway."

"That's true too. By the way, did you go to Dragonia for a mission?"

"I think it's more appropriate to accidentally come after a mission somewhere else."

"Eh? Whatchu mean?"

"I came home to Ruby, but because I was too tired, I didn't know that Ruby was flying to Dragonia, but what's worse was that she dropped me while I was sleeping."

Charlmilia wouldn't imagine that.

"Then?"

"I'm in prison for 1 month."

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

Charlmilia understood what bad memories meant, but she realized something strange.

Dragonia is known to always welcome Dragon Tamer. Kuro, who is the legendary Dragon Tamer, should be treated special in Dragonia.

"May I know why you're in prison?"

"I fell in Diana's bathroom and, worse, Diana was in the shower."

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

It's not a bad memory at all.

"I think you deserve to go to jail for life."

Charlmilia sighed immediately.

"What do you mean?"

"It's okay, but I hope you're alive..."

"Eh?"

Kuro did not understand, but as he felt an enormous killing intent behind him, Kuro understood what Charlmilia meant.

"Could he be behind me...?"

"And I think I'll ask you to explain everything that's happened while you're here! You don't mind, do you, sweetheart~?"

Kuro leaves because Laila is dragged into a building not far from their place.

Charlmilia could feel the pressure of Laila's mana being so great and frightening despite being quite far away.

"You're always dousing fire with oil, I think that's what you got Kuro."

Charlmilia only smiled a little.

It was then that Jinn returned with a complicated face that signified bad news.

"Where's Kuro?"

"He's being intrograted, .. I think it's going to take a long time."

Jinn felt a huge and frightening mana pressure. He knew it was pressure where Laila was. At the same time he understood the meaning of Charlmilia.

"I think so too."

"Then how did it go?"

"Not good. I found 14 tunnels, but they all collapsed and were impassable. May be deliberately destroyed to prevent the enemy from entering the palace......so what should we do?"

"Come on, but I'm sure Kuro must have prepared a plan. All we can do right now is wait for him to be introduced by Laila."

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

Although this is not the time to do unimportant things, but they have no other choice.

"For a while, we'll stand guard in turn, how?"

"All right, you better take a break. You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

"Yes. Thank you, Jinn."

Charlmilia stood up and put her foot into the building and left Jinn outside alone. Alone is not very appropriate because Ruby, Shapira and Laiko are sleeping fast not far from the building.

(Why didn't the Necromancer attack? With that much Necrodra army, he could destroy this place easily.)

"........."

Jinn looked towards the Dragon Grave which was now shrouded in dark clouds.

Meanwhile, inside the building, Charlmilia lay her body on the cloth used for the pedestal. It's very uncomfortable, but he has no choice at the moment.

He closed his eyes and slept.

Not far from Charlmilia, Knox and Lairo were sitting close together to discuss what happened last night.

Lairo doesn't know the strength of Necrodra they were up against last night, so he asks Knox to explain everything.

"In other words, if we don't use zacred magic art, we can't finish Necrodra off."

Knox nodded.

Unlike Lairo who looks in trouble, Knox looks very calm.

"It's really troublesome." added Lairo.

Sacred magic art is the strongest attack of magicians. In order to use it, the magician must use almost all of his power so that the magician can only use one to two times. This is a bad situation considering the number of Necrodra is too many.

"But the boy managed to kill Necrodra easily, right?"

Aldest arrived to connect after hearing the discussion of the two of them.

Aldest is currently sitting near the only bed in the room.

On the bed was Diana lying weakly and asleep. All the wounds and bruises on his body were gone thanks to Aldest's healing magic. The damaged thin armor was removed from his body and left only the inner clothes.

"He cut off the dragon easily. Wellh... I guess it's only natural that he could use Accell Art, but we don't..... Right now the most reliable is just that jerk."

"Why do you look like you hate him?"

"Lairo, I know you must be happy and relieved to know your father is alive. Moreover, you also have a sexy and beautiful girlfriend, so let me tell you one thing,-"

"........"

"I hate you too."

"Eh?"

Did he make a mistake?

Lairo doesn't understand why Knox hates him.

Meanwhile, Aldest just smiled thinly like a fox.

"Forget what I just said. Most importantly at this time we have to think of a way to deal with Necrodra, but unfortunately we lack information."

"informed?"

Lairo knew that Knox was the type of strategist in combat.

"Regarding that, we will discuss it after the boy returns. Frankly I don't know either." Aldest replied.

"If we use temporary strategies. If Necrodra attacks, don't fight alone, how?"

"That's not a bad idea. Alright."

Having decided what they were going to do when Necrodra attacked, they all rested to recover their strength.

3 Hours passed, the sun had already reached its peak in the city of Drageass, but no major changes had occurred.

But-but

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

Diana slowly opened her eyes. His gaze was initially a little blurry, but slowly it became clearer.

The first thing he saw was a roof that was almost destroyed.

He was a little surprised when he realized the wounds on his body had disappeared and did not feel any pain, but he felt his body still limp.

"?"

He heard the sound of people sleeping. Diana then turned to the surrounding area and found 4 people were fast asleep.

Two adults who seemed to be lovers were sleeping close together. One man slept not far from the couple. The last one he saw was a young man who had a big chest like a woman.

He remembered the young man was the one who had helped himself defeat Necrodra last night.

(After that.).

"Ah.. Mr Kuro?"

Diana got out of bed.

All who were aware of Diana's cry slowly opened their eyes and saw Diana was already conscious and panicked.

"Mr Kuro ..Where are you?"

Diana looks all the way to find Kuro, but everyone knows Kuro is not there.

Charlmilia approached to try to calm Diana down.

"Kuro is currently outside. I'm sure she'll be here soon, so calm yourself down, Princess Diana. Your wound has not healed properly..."

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

Diana was a little surprised when she realized that the young man in front of her was a woman. Diana also understands if they know who she is, meaning they are Kuro's friends.

"All right. I understand. And thank you for saving me, .......but can you call me Mr. Kuro?"

"........certain."

"Thank you.. "

Charlmilia came out to tell Kuro.

While waiting, he glanced at the three people who were still in that place.

"Etto... What is your relationship with Mr. Kuro?"

"I'm just a classmate, my name is Knox Afdoll. You can call me Knox, Princess Diana."

"My name is Aldest Devilist. You can call me Aldest. He is Lairo Licrofa. We are both Knights in the city of Areshia."

"Greetings. My name is Diana Fisrta Empiora. First princess of the kingdom of Dragonia. One thing I wanted to ask, Knox said you were his classmate, could it be that Mr. Kuro went to school?"

"...yeah. Is there something strange about that?"

Diana shook her head and only smiled faintly.

"No."

Diana said nothing after that.

Before long, Kuro comes with Laila and Jinn. Charlmilia did not enter because she had to stay outside.

"Mr Kuro!!"

Diana stood up and hugged Kuro.

Laila was surprised and did not have time to react.

"Diana, release! It's embarrassing!"

Kuro tried to take Diana off while glancing at Laila who was already emitting an ominous aura.

"alright. But-"

Chuu...

Diana kissed Kuro.

Everyone froze except for Laila who directly aimed Scarflare at Diana's neck.

Diana who was aware of Laila's killing aura moved away from Kuro.

"I don't care if you're a princess or not, but stay away from Kuro. He's mine."

But Diana only smiled slightly even though Laila was really going to kill him.

Diana could instantly guess Laila's relationship with Kuro. And of course why Laila was angry.

"Ho...what's wrong with kissing my fiancee?"

".......huh?"

Laila could not say what, but she glanced at Kuro who now looked panicked and turned blue.

"Diana, do you know what you said could get me killed?"

And Kuro is right. Eve kills emanated from Jinn and Knox.

"After all, we were never engaged. Did you forget that?"

"I didn't forget. I even remember when Mr. Kuro ran away on our engagement day."

"........."

"I'm really sad. Do you know what, Mr Kuro?"

Diana showed her sadness. He even looked almost crying.

"Kurooooo... What does all this mean?"

"I know you're mad, but get Scarflare off my neck. That's hazardous. You heard it yourself anyway, didn't I run away on our engagement day."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want it. And you should have known why."

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

Laila realized that she was overreacting in this.

But how else. When Kuro is with another woman, Laila immediately feels jealousy that sometimes makes her lose control.

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

Laila tries to calm down and eliminate Scarflare.

"You said you'd be engaged to Kuro, but shouldn't a princess marry a commoner?"

Laila asked things that have become a tradition or even arguably the rules for the upper class.

Laila can marry Kuro because she is not from a royal family like Diana.

"You don't know what it looks like, but what's your relationship with Mr. Kuro?"

"Include me, she's Laila. My future wife."

The one who answered was Kuro.

"Oh. I'm guessing he's your girlfriend, Mr. Kuro."

""......uh?""

Laila and Kuro are confused by Diana's seemingly ordinary reaction.

"Listen, I know Mr. Kuro has a lover, but I don't mind being second or third."

"I OBJECT!!" shouted Laila

"It is natural that nobles like Mr. Kuro have one or two wives."

Upon hearing that, all of them immediately glanced towards Kuro with curious gazes.

"Kuro who are you?" ask Jinn.

"Don't be stupid. I'm a noble, but only in the kingdom of Dragonia."

"What do you mean?"

"Ruby." replied Diana "In Dragonia, a person's rank and rank are determined by the dragon he is with or who he is subject to."

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

Laila has a bad feeling.

"In other words, in Dragonia, lord Kuro is automatically a noble who even has the right to marry a royal princess like myself. Do you understand?"

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

Bad news is approaching Laila.

If what Diana said was true, then Kuro even had the right to marry a princess from another kingdom, even having the right to marry Riana.

"Don't tell me the real reason Yui didn't come to Dragon is-"

Kuro only smiled slightly as Laila's guess was correct.
