Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Dragon War IV: Dragon Arm

There are several reasons why Dragonia was not attacked by other countries. Dragon, a more advanced technology than any other land although small, and a culture that is very different from other countries.

but is it just that?

Every country must have a secret weapon to scare other countries from attacking. Whether the secret weapon is in the form of a witch (paladin), magic weapons of mass destruction, monsters that are deliberately created, dangerous magic and much more.

The same goes for Dragon.

"What does the enemy want?"

A few days ago while resting in the forest, Knox asked Kuro who was resting in the middle of two girls..

"Yes. As happened in the city of Areshia, I believe the enemy also has a purpose or is aiming for something in Dragonia. To be honest, even though I've heard rumors about Dragonia, I want to be sure."

Charlmilia and Laila looked at Kuro, while Kuro glanced at Aldest like a sign.

Aldest understood and nodded.

"I think we should tell you, but what do you want to do after you find out?" aldest asked with a faint smile while emitting a dangerous aura.

"If we knew, wouldn't we be able to divide the tasks according to each other's expertise?"

"........."

"Not only that, we can devise a strategy even though I don't think it will have much effect considering the level of our enemy."

"Hmmm....."

Aldest smiled happily after seeing Knox's ability like a strategist.

"Well, we're gonna give you everything we know, but if we're all safe then you're gonna have to keep a secret, or I'm gonna force your brains not to remember it."

Aldest licked his lips like a demon. He's not kidding. Her magic that is capable of manipulating memories is extremely dangerous. Removing memories was just a trivial matter to Aldest.

Then Aldest and Kuro take turns explaining everything they know. The reaction of the new person hearing the reality is predictable, they panic.

They do not realize that the battle that awaits them can affect the fate of the whole world.

But what caught their attention was about the enemy's goal, which was the Grimoire of Dragon or D Grimoire.

"D Grimoire is it?...According to rumors, the grimoire contained a way to control dragons around the world. Is it true that the grimoire is in Dragonia?"

Knox was still hesitant because there was a grimoire rumor that it didn't really exist. But the possibility of the grimoire existing in Dragonia is quite large considering that Dragonia is the country that has the closest relationship with dragons.

"We don't know for sure, but we know the enemy wants something in Dragonia, right or not, we can't keep our guard down."

"......lest we have an insider..."

Knox muttered, but the reason he made sense.

"What about 'him'?"

Kuro smiled and mentioned the name of an unexpected person.

But even if the plan is well made, not necessarily everything goes as expected.

Outside Fafnir's palace, the fight between Kuro and Deon/Lucifer had already begun, while in the palace, another fight had also just begun.

Charlmilia, Laila and Diana were in the hallway of the palace, but not only those in that place.

The figure of the woman wearing a dark black robe and emitting a dangerous aura blocked them. His face is invisible and only shows pink lips. The woman was Shadow who was eyeing the book in Diana's hands.

The black book with the dragon symbol is known as the Grimoire of Dragon.

They're sweating cold. For the first time in their lives the three of them felt a pressure of mana that was so overwhelming and terrifying.

"Fu fufu's... "

Shadow chuckled.

"Sweet girl, can you hand me that thing over? Do you know that thing is dangerous?"

The three of them just gritted their teeth.

Laila held Scarflare tightly in her hand and did not try to tremble. He realized the enemy in front of him might have almost the same strength as his father who was known as the strongest paladin. Or even stronger.

Charlmilia held the sword in her right hand and at once called out to the Byakko. Not only that, he had also created several plasma balls. But he also realized the enemy in front of him was extremely dangerous.

As for Diana, she held Gungnir and pointed it at Shadow, but could not fight completely because she had to guard the Grimoire of Dragon.

"Listen, I promised the boy not to finish you off. I'll keep it, but that doesn't mean I won't hurt you. Do you understand what I mean?"

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

"But you don't seem to want to give it to me, so I guess I'll ask for it by force, I'm bored anyway."

Shadow's pressure changed again. Black flames suddenly sacrificed in his right hand and turned into a sword. The black fire sword.

But the sword was not an ordinary sword because it was the same sword that Laila had

"Black carbflare?"

Laila could only widen her eyes in surprise. Not only Laila, Charlmilia and Diana were similarly shocked.

They knew Shadow could manipulate shadows, but imitating the Magic Arm was something beyond their expectations.

Suddenly a black magic circle appeared between the four of them. From that magic circle, then appeared a black Byakko.

"He even imitated the Byakko?"

Charlmilia even thought she was dreaming.

Shadow just smiled.

"You don't be surprised, this is just a little trick for me, but you can't think that I'm just imitating your Magic Arm and Magic Beast."

"Don't say..-"

The three of them had a bad feeling.

"Yes, I can even imitate your powers perfectly. And I think it's time we played. Please don't bore me."

The black Byakko shot out a ball of wind, the Byakko Charlmilia did the same and two black and white balls of wind clashed and exploded.

The wind was strong, but that was when Laila directly advanced towards Shadow without any fear.

Shadow just smiled.

White Byakko and black Byakko fought each other fiercely. Not wanting to miss Charlmilia also ran towards Shadow.

Klaang. 3 swords clashing and splashing orange light. Despite being 2-on-one, Laila and Charlmilia were overwhelmed. They were not even able to push Shadow and it was they who were pushed back.

"Kh..."

(I didn't expect him to be this strong!?)

Charlmilia glanced at Laila who also showed a surprised expression.

Although the difference in their strength was so great, Laila's eyes did not show any fear or give up.

Diana who saw the two of them thought of attacking from the other side, but a red sword stuck in to block Diana's move.

"Go!"

Laila screams.

"Go? Whatchu mean?"

"Don't be stupid!" charlmilia. "This woman is scarier than you think."

Charlmilia attacked using a small plasma ball from behind while defending, but Shadow also created a plasma ball and used it to intercept the plasma ball Charlmilia.

"Bh.."

Charlmilia gritted her teeth.

"This woman wants the book, you know that means she can't get it. Isn't that book valuable to you anyway?"

"?!"

"Diana-chan. Go quickly! The book was valuable not because it was the Grimoire of Dragon, but a book that contained precious memories with your grandfather right?"

".....Lois .."

Laila and Charlmilia smiled even though they were struggling to withstand Shadow's strength.

Shadow then pushed and made their bodies both bounce, but they did not give up and strengthen their legs and pushed back Shadow.

Shadow's body was pushed backwards.

Not wasting a chance, Laila and Charlmilia continued to attack using Element Art.

Laila attacked using a fireball .Charlmilia attacked using a ball of wind. But that's not all they do.

They combined their fire element and wind element so that the attack power became greater.

Boooms. Shadow was hit hard and a fairly large explosion occurred. Meanwhile, the fight between the two Byakko is still fierce.

"Go quickly! We'll keep him here!"

"Daughter Diana, leave her to us."

"Ta-but-"

""GO!!!"'

Laila and Charlmilia shouted simultaneously despite gasping for breath.

Diana understood why they could go that far. And that was the biggest reason he left despite having to leave the two of them fighting monsters.

"Laila, Charlmilia, .. You must live!"

Diana then left the two of them running.

"Fufufu... Is that all you're capable of?"

""?!""

Shadow emerged from the smoke. He was not scratched in the slightest despite being hit by a combined attack.

"You guys are still too naive. Do you think you can stop me?"

Shadow multiplied himself like a split cell. Now two Shadow people were in front of them.

The other shadow suddenly turned into a shadow and moved like a snake on the floor past Laila and Charlmilia.

"Great!"

Charlmilia immediately panicked.

But at that moment, there was a gunshot. 

The shot shot shot towards the shadow that had already passed through them. One, two, and the third shot and finally hit the shadow and the shadow disappeared.

"Eh?"

Charlmilia was surprised that the shadow should not just disappear.

Then there was another gunshot. This time the black Byakko disappeared.

Shadow could only be speechless as both of his magic had been neutralized.

"Don't underestimate us, j*lang!"

"!"

With a cold gaze, Laila pointed the gun in her left hand towards the thinly smiling Shadow.

"Hooo. Anticristal then?"

"Don't you think only you can play with the Anticristals."

Charlmilia understood what was happening. The shadow and black Byakko disappear due to being hit by an Anticristal bullet from Laila's gun.

The gun Laila wore was not a Magic Arm which was why the Anticristal had no effect. Moreover, Laila could still use magic.

The magic sword is in the right hand, while the antisyllic gun is in the left hand. This is unusual.

"Laila, since when did you get-"

"We'll talk about it later, and you'll grab the gun in the little pocket on my waist. You can use a gun, right?"

Charlimilia understood Laila's intentions.

Charlmilia smiled and reached into a small pouch (bag) hidden under Laila's uniform.

The bag was a magic bag, but the bag was different from an ordinary magic bag. Although it has the same function to carry many objects, but the objects Laila carries are a gun and Anticristal bullets.

The anticrystals can neutralize magic, which is why Laila carries a bag made using technology. Laila's bag is actually a secret technology, but due to an emergency, Laila is allowed to carry it.

And of course, the one who gave the idea was Kuro as one of the conditions to allow Laila to come along.

Charlmilia then took out a gun similar to Laila's, but Charlmilia moved it to her right hand. The sword was moved to his left hand.

Byakko now moved beside Charlmilia.

"Fufufu... I don't think I'll get bored, well, I'll accompany you to play......and I'll also teach you how weak you are, Clocflare!"

A black fire sword once again appeared in Shadow's left hand. At first glance not much different from Scarflare, but has a different pattern.

But that was not what surprised Charlmilia and Laila.

Clocflare was the name of the Magic Arm someone they knew in their dreams.

Who is Shadow? Could she....

However, Charlmilia and Laila knew that whoever Shadow was, he was now their enemy.

But can they win?

In the control room, Draig and Louis went deathly pale looking at the number of enemies and the strength the enemy showed.

After all, the enemy this time was so powerful and even they had not yet unleashed their true strength.

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

Louis was simply speechless watching the fight that was already beyond human reason.

Kuro finished off the enemies of dozens of enemies at once in a single hit and carried out at high speed.

Deon/Lucifer still does nothing and just as a spectator.

Ruby helps Kuro, but too many enemies overwhelm him.

After observing the fight for quite a while, Louis finally let out a deep sigh.

"Dad, I think we should use 'that'?"

"....is it time?"

"While it's not the time, we should stick with 'it'. Even though Kuro looks amazing, I'm sure it only takes him a while until he runs out of steam. Even though he used the same power as Shiroyasha, but that doesn't mean he can use that power to the fullest, in other words..."

Before Kuro can't use his powers, it's better to help him before it's too late.

Draig understood what Louis was trying to say.

"Alright, we use 'that.' After all this is the time to show the true power of Dragonia."

"I'm glad to hear it, Dad."

Luois smiled happily.

"What about Lionel?"

Lionel. The first prince and at the same time one of the strongest magicians in Dragonia. If Louis was a genius as a strategist, then Lionel was a man of extraordinary physical strength.

"At the moment he is still preparing to use the Avalon Gear. Estimates are over in 7 minutes."

Hearing the reports of his men, Louis sighed.

(Although Avalon Gear is an enhanced Knight Gear, it cannot be installed like Knight Gear because the material used is very different. Although I think using Avalon Gear is too fast, it can be used to test Avalon Gear.)

"Then what about the preparation of Dragon Arm ?"

"All Dragon Arm are in normal circumstances. We can use them anytime."

Louis smiled.

"Connect me with Cross"

A new screen appeared. On the screen was a short young man wearing glasses and wearing a laboratory suit smiling cheerfully.

Unlike the burly Lionel and Louis like a perfect prince, Cross has a small body despite being 16 years old. Like his two brothers, Lionel also has special skills in the form of extraordinary intelligence.

That was why he was now the leader of the Alchemists in Dragonia. He was also instrumental in creating Knight Gear and Dragon Arm.

"Cross, what about the control of Dragon Arm?"

"No problem brother. Everything smoothly. Thanks to the programs I created, then we can easily control them. Why are you worried, didn't you see for yourself?"

"......."

"So can we start?"

Cross smiled. At first glance he was like a child smiling happily.

"Avalon Gear has also been installed" Louis' men reported.

"Alright, let's show you the real power of Dragonia" Draig said

In the underground chamber, a 25-meter-long monster began to move. Green eyes lit up as a sign they were already preparing to join the fight.

"........"

Meanwhile, Louis glanced at the screen which showed Laila and Charlmilia fighting Shadow.

(They were smart enough to use the Anticristal to fight the monster.)

Then Louis glanced at the screen which showed a picture of Knox walking leisurely in the hallway of the palace. Louis suddenly narrowed his eyes after noticing Knox's strange behavior.

On another screen, Diana was running alone in the hallway of the palace while carrying the Grimoire of Dragon.

Louis stood up.

"Dad, can I leave it to you?"

"You want to go?"

"I have to take care of the little insects."

Draig narrowed his eyes.

"All right, leave it here to me."

Louis then left the control room with a thin and evil smile.

Amidst the battleground, explosions filled the city. The ground and all the objects shattered into dust in an instant after receiving the slash from the white sword.

Hell Beast, Necrodra could not struggle against the attack at high speed and was almost invisible to the eye.

Kuro is currently using Double Accell to move. As for destroying the enemy, he used Ki.

From 2000 enemies, it has now been reduced to about 1700 in less than 10 minutes.

The sun was getting drowned and the sky was starting to become orange. The battle in Dragonia had already been over 3 hours.

While slashing, Kuro felt his body was about to shatter from within. Even though he was currently using Eyes of Origin, it did not mean that there were no side effects on his body.

Kuro has only used the power of Eyes of Origin twice. The first one was when it destroyed the robbers who attacked the village. The second was against Electra.

It was then that Electra was attracted to her and it was from Electralah that she knew that she was a descendant of Shiroyasha.

But there is one problem they should be sure of. How long can Kuro use Eyes of Origin?

1 hour. That's the maximum time Kuro uses Eyes of Origin. But it was two years ago and under normal conditions.

Then now?

He doesn't know.

He was now only fighting with all the strength he had. Even though his body feels broken. The entire bone in his body felt like it could break at any time, as long as his body could still fight, he would fight.

"WHOOOA!!!"

Kuro is after Deon/Lucifer who is watching like a king from the sky

Dozens of Hell Beasts were blocking Kuro. Kuro did not dodge and slashed at them one by one. But there were several Hell Beasts who turned their bodies into spears that attacked Kuro from all directions almost simultaneously.

Kuro doesn't have time to serve them all and dodge with Accell Art, but-

"?!"

Accell Art Kuro allowed him to move at a speed that normal eyes could not see. And when Kuro is at high speed, everything around him will feel motionless unless it has the same speed as Kuro.

And the Hell Beast that turned into a spear was able to move around Kuro. That meant that the Hell Beast had the same speed as him.

(Damn!!)

Dozens of spears attacked Kuro. He tried to dodge, but in that speed, dodging was difficult.

There was no other choice, he used Double Accell and moved twice as fast.

He managed to dodge with less severe injuries and continued to advance towards Deon/Lucifer, but just before Kuro's sword touched Deon/Lucifer's body, he disappeared.

"?!"

Deon/Lucifer arrives behind Kuro.

""[You may be able to move faster than sound, but that's not enough!]""

"!!"

Deon/Lucifer slashed at Kuro, but Kuro directly used the third stage Accell Art, Triple Accell.

He manages to evade and counterattacks on Deon/Lucifer. He cut Deon/Lucifer in half, but Deon/Lucifer just smiled.

Kuro directly landed while destroying the Hell Beast on the ground.

Bomm..

Kuro landed like a bomb because it was caused by his rapid movements. He even made a 5-meter wide crater.

Kuro's breathing panted. He felt that his body could be destroyed at any time due to using Triple Accell.

He glanced at Deon/Lucifer who was cut in half, but his body re-united.

"Tch.."

(I thought it was free. Besides that.).

Kuro glanced around. He was now surrounded by the Hell Beast and Necrodra.

Kuro is in a dire situation right now. Although killing the Hell Beast and Necrodra was easy for Kuro, the sheer amount overwhelmed him.

The only way to end this situation is to kill Deon/Lucifer, but no matter how many times Kuro slashes Deon/Lucifer, his body will return to its original state.

But-but

With Eyes of Origin, Kuro sees something as Deon and Lucifer's bodies fuse together.

Deon/Lucifer's body regeneration speed was dozens of times faster than Necrodra's, and it made Deon almost invincible, but that wasn't what caught Kuro's attention.

Kuro was more interested in Scullia Cristal who fused with the Magic Arm Deon.

Sculiia Cristal is actually a very strong seal, but that does not mean it does not have the weakness of holy element magic.

There are two ways to use Scullia Cristal, which is to combine with the body, and combine with the Magic Arm/Magic Beast.

Both have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of combining with the body, the wearer will have tremendous power and magic, but the lifespan will be short because Lucifer more quickly mastered the body of the wearer. According to the records, witches who use this way can only survive for at most 6-7 days.

While Deon uses the second way, combining Scullia Cristal with Magic Arm. The advantage of this way the life span is longer, which is about 12-14 days and the end of his life, the magic power will be stronger. This was the reason why Deon attacked after more than 10 days.

And this was why Kuro and the others could guess Deon would attack once they arrived.

Now Deon's magic pressure was dozens of times stronger than the moment Kuro remembered. Moreover, after joining Lucifer then Deon's power is equivalent to Paladin or even stronger.

but that doesn't mean Kuro can't beat Deon/Lucifer.

The problem is that if this situation continues, then he has no energy to end Deon.

"Kh..."

Kuro gritted his teeth. He had to make a hard choice by not using Eyes of Origin.

Kuro's black eyes have now returned.

Kuro still has not fully mastered Eyes of Origin if he continues to use it, Kuro does not know the risks he will face.

Now Kuro only slashed the Hell Beast and Necrodra were attacking him with minimal speed.

He also did not use Accell Art because it would drain his power quickly.

A Hell Beast shaped like an ogre attacked Kuro. Unlike other Hell Beasts, the Hell Beast had a stocky and fat body.

The Hell Beast attacked using its fists that were 3 times larger than a human head.

Kuro held back with his sword, but he just bounced back.

(Kuh... Hell Beast is a fighter?)

"?!"

Kuro glanced back and found the Hell Beast that had a door-wide mouth with thousands of pointed teeth preparing to pounce on it.

Kuro was now heading right towards the Hell Beast's mouth.

In that moment-

"Dragon Art, Spear of Fire"

A fire spear covered the mouth of the Hell Beast and killed him.Kuro then landed on the ground and saw dozens of Demon Beasts and Necrodra experiencing similar things.

Above the sky, a human wearing golden dragon armor flew by flapping wings that resembled bat wings.

The human then slowly flew to Kuro's side.

"Mr Kuro, I've come to help."

Kuro instantly felt familiar with the human voice wearing golden dragon armor.

"Lionel?"

"Yes. Sorry to be late because to wear this thing takes a long time ahaha.."

Although it was not the time to laugh, Kuro also chuckled.

Kuro stood up straight and put up the horse because the musk came back.

"They're really stubborn. Come to Asura."

Lionel did the same with Kuro. Lionel then called the Magic Arm in the form of a spear with a large knife as a blade.

"But did you come alone?" ask Kuro.

"Of course not. We're not that weak."

After saying that, eight straight lights streaked across the sky. Those eight lights were laser breaths consisting of 8 magic elements.

Hundreds of Hell Beasts and Necrodra were wiped out. A laser breath suddenly appears to lead to Deon, but Deon just moves slowly to dodge.

The ninth laser breath is Ruby's.

but where did the other 8 laser breaths come from?

A foot treads the ground until it sinks due to a heavy body.

With a thunderous roar, the eight silver dragon figures made of metal now merged into the battle.

"Don't say it's..."

"Yes. We've already finished it. Dragonia's secret weapon. An artificial dragon that has the equivalent power of a Dragon King."

"So it seems..."

Kuro just narrowed his eyes.

"And now we can fight against that traitor calmly." Lionel glanced at the Deon/Lucifer flying above them. "Honestly, after looking closely, he was truly terrible."

At the same time the eight Dragon Arm scattered in eight directions. There were two that flew through the air, while the others were facing the Demon Beast and Necrodra who were on the ground.

In addition to using Laser Breath, Dragon Arm has a metal body made of special materials. The result was that Hell Beast and Necrodra were unable to make any significant impact.

Quickly the number of Hell Beasts and Necrodra was reduced drastically. Even so, something made Kuro feel uneasy.

(The eight Dragon Arm were capable of using eight different elements. Ah. so apparently.)

Kuro could guess the power of the Dragon Arm.

Each Dragon Arm is capable of using 8 magic elements. In other words Dragon Arm was the result of research from Dragonia to create a being capable of using 8 magic elements.

(It's bad... )

If Dragonia used Dragon Arm to attack another country, it could be catastrophic.

(But.).

Kuro immediately glanced at Lionel.

"It seems that mister Kuro already knows very well the power of the Dragon Arm despite just a single look. But that's not a problem, we created them for emergencies like this."

Although it was invisible due to the armor covering his face, Kuro was sure Lionel was smiling.

"Well, I guess it's up to you to create and use that power, but I can only hope you don't look for enemies."

Kuro smiled, but it was a smile that was a sign of nothing.

"Well, now we're focused on defeating him, but are you sure you want to help me?"

"Don't joke, defeating an enemy of Dragonia is the duty of a prince like me."

Lionel flapped his wings and flew towards Deon/Lucifer. Despite being blocked by the Hell Beast, Lionel was able to defeat them easily.

Kuro knew very well how strong Lionel was because they had fought in duels. Kuro won, but he knew Lionel was strong.

Although now his strength was increasing, yet it seemed that the power was coming from himself and not from Avalon Gear.

Kuro sighs.

"I think I'll use that..."

Kuro then contacted Ruby who was pouncing on the Demon Beast through telepathy.

[King?]

"Ruby, I think it's time to get serious."

[I understand, King]

Ruby and Kuro closed their eyes.

In order to use Dragon Gear, both hearts must fuse into one.

[Complete Synchronization]

Kuro's body shone. A red aura enveloped his body and slowly formed a fiery red armor.

Two bat wings appeared on his back. Kuro's sword was coated in red flames and eventually Kuro's white sword also became completely red. Not to forget, the bells on Kuro's sword also changed color.

Kuro then flies towards Deon/Lucifer after Lionel.

The palace hallway. Gunfire filled the place.

Lalia and Charlmilia alternately shot and attacked Shadow with a sword. Although this was their first time fighting together, their cooperation was quite good.

The Byakko attacked from a distance with a ball of wind and a plasma ball. Although it is not appropriate because Shadow is fast and always uses high-level magic, but with Anticristal Laila and Charlmilia can survive against Shadow.

"?"

While fighting, Laila realized that the bells on her bracelet had suddenly turned red.

Not only that, he could hear Kuro's voice in his head.

[Will?]

"Kuro.....?"

Laila stopped in surprise.

Elsewhere, Aldest and Lairo fly on Laiko to Drageass.

Aldest's face was calm, yet he was actually panicking.

"After seeing the incident, I understood why Deon wanted to destroy his own country."

Lairo still remembers what she saw. It was so sad that Lairo even wanted to cry.

"Yes. But now everything is clear. And everything's worse than we thought."

"........"

Lairo can only be silent because he doesn't really understand, but one thing he knows.

There's a traitor in Dragonia.

And the traitor now smiled like a demon because all his plans went well and just waited for the time to be completed.
