Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Dragon War V: Choices

The Grimoire of Dragon. The grimoire is said to be capable of controlling dragons all over the world. With that power, ruling the world or destroying the world is easy.

Yep. With that grimoire, one could become a second Demon King easily.

But to Diana, the grimoire of dragons was not a book that had the power to make someone a Demon King. The book is worth more than that.

The Grimoire of Dragon had been in Dragonia for thousands of years. It is also one of the treasures of Dragonia. But that was not what made the grimoire of dragons valuable.

Like other grimoires, not just anyone could read the Grimoire of Dragon. Even Diana's father couldn't read it. Only his grandfather and he could read the book.

This made Diana the owner as well as protector of the Grimoire of Dragon. Unfortunately, he only learned that the book he was holding was the Grimoire of Dragon from Charlmilia and Laila. And at the same time, he knew what the enemy was after.

a few hours ago, after Diana, Laila and Charlmilia took a hot bath, the three of them headed to Diana's room to find out more about Alice's Memories.

Diana's room was almost as large as Laila's classroom, this was natural considering she was a princess.

A large bed and first-class furniture. This was natural, but what was unnatural was that dozens of bookshelves were also in Diana's room. It is like a small library.

"Is your research on Alice's Memories in any of those books?" ask Laila. "I hope you don't forget the dance-place "

Diana showed a complicated expression that made Laila unable to continue, she said.

Diana smiled slightly as she drew closer towards the bookshelf.

"My research on Alice's Memories was long over, so I kind of forgot where to put it. Wellh.I guess we should look for one by one. But don't worry, my research results use imperial language so we can tell the difference."

It made a bit of a relief, but why was Diana using imperial language?

"Either why does this remind me of meeting Kuro in the library."

Charlmilia only fell silent while searching for the book that Charlmilia was referring to, but there was little to bother her about.

Most of the books on the shelf were old and well-preserved, but from the little visible dust, none of them were taken.

"Is it okay to see this book?"

"Is Miss Charlmilia worried that this book is about the secrets of Dragonia?"

Charlmilia.

"Don't worry, all the books here are about stories and knowledge only. I've read it all, so I know very well."

"...be-so apparently. Then I don't have to hesitate."

Charlmilia could only smile wryly and at the same time amazed that Diana was able to read thick books and small writings.

Diana may have a hobby of reading or there is a certain reason why she read all those books.

Laila searched at the bottom of one of the shelves. He opened one by one a thick and old book. But he still found nothing and at the same time felt Deja vu.

"?"

He glanced at the black book that was on top of the shelf. I don't know why Laila was immediately interested even though she had only first seen him.

But-but

"........"

His hands did not reach. Even though he had tiptoes, he still did not arrive.

Asking for help?

Laila glanced at Charlmilia who had the tallest body among the three of them. At first glance he was indeed like a man, so this was a little strange.

"....?!"

Laila was shocked when she saw Charlmilia's chest bouncing like a soft ball after picking up one of the books.

How could he have such a big chest? Laila curious.

Using potions, magic, or surgery?

While being confused, Laila remembered Kuro's words.

[Big chest sometimes interferes with movement during a fight. Do you understand why Charlia changed her appearance?]

"...."

Laila understood, but if remembered, it was just a word to comfort her.

Laila was a little irritated and irritated after realizing that.

(I don't think it's time to think about this, most importantly how I got the book.)

Laila thought, she seems to know how to pick up the book, but somehow she forgot a little.

"*thumb* ..why don't I think about that."

Laila then jumped up slowly and quickly pulled the book off the shelf. This was the same way that Kuro had picked up the book in Aste's library.

Laila lands perfectly, but loses her balance as the book turns out to be heavier than she thought.

But he quickly managed to control his body.

"Flame.. Um?"

Unfortunately, the problem is not over. Laila glanced up and realized the thick book was starting to fall on her.

Buukkkk.!!

The sound of the book falling made a noise throughout Diana's room.

Diana and Charlmilia approached to find out what had happened. And what they found was that Laila was already lying on the floor with a thick book strewn about.

"Miss Laila, are you okay?"

"What are you doing?"

Laila just smiled wryly.

Diana then helps Laila and gets rid of the scattered books. But when cleaning the book, there was one book that opened and showed an illustration picture.

Diana immediately remembered what the book was.

Diana slowly picked up the book and took it with her. While Laila and Charlmilia have finished returning the book to its original place.

They glanced at each other, but no one knew for sure. But from Diana's expression, the book must have been valuable or they had already found the book they were looking for.

Diana sat on the long sofa. Laila and Charlmilia sat nearby.

"Maybe it's the book we're looking for?"

Laila had no idea what the book was about because it used the language of Dragonia.

"No. This is my favorite book since childhood. This is my grandfather's book."

"The book must be valuable to you."

Diana nodded.

"What is the contents of the book then? I saw a picture of a dragon."

"Miss Laila's right." Diana opened the book sheet quickly and stopped at one of the illustrations that depicted a black dragon. "This is a book about a boy who made a contract with a legendary dragon."

"I've never seen that dragon" said Laila. "Maybe one of the Dragon Kings is like Ruby."

"Bahamuth is not the Dragon King, but the Heavenly Darkness King. The strongest dragon in the world. And the other one."

"Bahamuth.....?"

Laila had only heard of the dragon for the first time. Charlmilia just widened her eyes.

"You don't know?"

Laila nodded slowly.

"According to legend Bahamuth is a dragon belonging to the Demon King." explains Charlmilia. "But this is just a legend. In Light War, the Demon King had never summoned Bahamuth, so no one knew the truth. Am I wrong?"

"Miss Charlmilia is not wrong" Diana replied as she opened a few more leaves. "In this book, Bahamuth lives in a different dimension to ours, so can't just call him. Honey we don't know if the story in this book is true."

Diana closed the book and put it on the table. Strangely enough, the book had already been in Dragonia a long time ago, so he had no idea if what was in the book was right or wrong.

Diana didn't say it because she felt unnecessary.

"We'd better find the book soon, for you it's more important right?"

"Yes it's true." replied Charlmilia. "But so far all that's on the shelf is old and thick books. Jezz... What exactly is the book we're looking for?"

Charlmilia's right. Diana then tried to remember the book containing the results of her research.

"...hmm.easily the book was as thin as 2 cm."

"........."

"........"

Charlmilia and Laila could not comment much, but after knowing the book they were looking for, it only took time.

About 5 minutes later, they finally found the book in question.Rupanya book was located at the bottom and edge of the shelf.

Charllmilia and Laila are shocked to learn that Alice's Memories are so many and complicated, but the point is that Alice's Memories is a memory of Aliciana and Shiroyasha.

As they coolly look at Diana's research on Alice's Memories, a huge explosion disturbs them.

It was an alarm sign that Drageass was attacked by Deon. Drageass had now turned into a battlefield, but when the three of them tried to come out to help, Diana's room door could not open.

"Tch.. What's going on here? Why won't the door open?"

Charlmilia was upset after several times trying to open the door. He even kicked it, but the door was completely unscathed.

(So apparently. This room is locked using magic. It would be dangerous to carelessly open it by force, but who did it?)

"?!"

Charlmilia glanced at Diana who had been staring at the corner of her room. Charlmilia then concentrated her gaze and found a small black dot moving like a fly.

(That's... Insectmeras. So apparently, with the insectmera that they are watching us.)

Of size, Dragonia's insectmera is undoubtedly smaller and more advanced than Houou's empire

Suddenly arrived where a sizable screen appeared in the air. The screen raised the face of someone, Louis.

"Sister Louis?"

[Sorry, Diana. You stay there until the battle is over!]

Without more words, the connection was cut off. Several times Diana tried to call Louis, Louis did not bother him.

Diana was down and sad. Although locked up for her safety, Diana still wants to fight with Shapira.

Laila approached and held Diana's two shoulders.

"Diana, your sister must have done this there must have been a reason. We'd better sit down and think about what we're gonna do."

"Un.."

Diana got up and sat down on the sofa with Laila.

While Charlmilia remained in place and observed the surroundings.

(They must have been watching us not only wear one insectmera.)

Charlmilia then glanced at Laila while recalling the plan they had made when Deon had already attacked.

(Well, first of all, I have to make sure no one watches and hears us.)

Charlmilia closed her eyes and began to concentrate.

She is an SSS-ranked wind witch. His ability in controlling magic was above the ability of an average magician.

He concentrated and sensed all the wind flow in the room. In an instant, he could feel the entire thing from the air hitting the thing turn. It at first glance detects the same using the waves that Jinn uses.

(More in.).

He's more concentrated. This time he could even hear the sound of Laila and Charlmilia's breath so clearly.

... Before long, Charlmilia had found what she was looking for, an insectmera, some hidden cameras and surveillance magic.

(More I'm guessing. Could Louis be the prince of siscon?)

Charlmilia opened her eyes. He found them all and destroyed them all.

Dozens of tiny white lights appeared around Charlmilia which was actually a very small plasma ball. The plasma ball was beautiful like snow, but the snow was dangerous.

"[Plasma Snow]"

The white plasma ball flew in various directions at high speed and hit various objects in Diana's room.

Although small, the explosion was large enough to be a testament to the plasma power of Charlmilia.

Charlmilia looked around to confirm that no one was peering at them anymore.

After feeling safe, Charlmilia approached towards Laila and Diana. Charlmilia looked at Laila to signal it was time to do the plan they had made beforehand.

Laila nodded in understanding. He then moved away from Diana.

Diana was confused by the behavior of the two of them. And that's when he knew they both had a specific purpose.

"Diana, we'll tell you everything. And also a message from Kuro?"

"Message from Mr Kuro?"

"Yes. Now listen to us. Maybe this will also be a tough decision for you."

".................EH?"

Charlmilia and Laila then explain everything about the battle and the reason why they were both with Diana. From the beginning they were aiming to escort Diana.

The two of them then explain the possibility of a traitor and what the enemy is after, the Grimoire of Dragon.

When she heard the word traitor, Diana looked not too surprised. It seems he also knew of the possibility.

"Regarding a traitor and cooperating with the enemy, we already know about it, but we still don't know who because they are so neat. Every time we almost found a clue, but we always disappeared."

"In other words there's not a single clue, but-"

"It's very likely that person will do all his plans today" Laila added.

Charlmilia nodded slowly and put her hand on her chin like she was thinking.

"Now the problem is the Grimoire of Dragon. We're safe here, but considering who our enemy is this time, it's the same as waiting for the enemy to approach us."

(Did Louis do it on purpose?)

Charlmilia thinks Louis locked them up for some reason, but what?

Of safety?

Given their enemies this time, the palace was not a safe place. Especially with the ability of the enemy that is able to infiltrate despite the layer of armor.

(In other words, there must be another reason why Louis locked us up. Or the.. )

...Not Diana who was protected, but the thing in Diana's room.

Charlmilia glanced around. Diana's room was more like a small library containing old books.

(?!. Could it be that the Grimoire of Dragon was in this room?)

There's only one way to be sure.

"Daughter Diana, do you know where the gyrimoire of Dragon is?"

"Hm? I don't know. I even doubt the grimoire the enemy is after is actually there."

"What do you mean?" ask Laila.

"It's been hundreds of years that the Grimoire of Dragon is unknown. Even my grandfather and father didn't know the shape of the grimoire."

"......"

Charlmilia thought again. But if what Diana said was true, then it now made sense why the existence of the Grimoire of Dragon was just a myth.

"But why did Kuro say if we were with you, we would find the Grimoire of Dragon?"

"Eh?"

Diana was surprised by Laila's words, but Charlmilia remembered that Kuro had indeed said that.

"Why did Mr Kuro say that? He had indeed read books in this room, but he had never mentioned the Grimoire of Dragon."

"Hmm. Then why wait. You said Kuro was in this room? What the hell are you guys doing?"

"Aha ha. Don't look at me like that! That's frightening. Like I said, he only reads books in this room."

"If it's true, Kuro means accidentally reading the Grimoire of Dragon, but not telling you." Charlmilia analyzes. "Maybe he didn't say because it would be a problem. Unfortunately, if the enemy is after the book, it is likely that the enemy also knows what the book looks like."

"..... you mean.."

"If we don't find the Grimoire of Dragon soon enough, the enemy will succeed in getting to their destination. It's also bad for those of us who are here. If the enemy uses his power to forcefully destroy, maybe we'll die."

This is only Charlmilia's conjecture. He still had another choice: to let the enemy come at them. At the same time, maybe they will immediately know who the traitor is.

"Then let's find it quickly!" laila said with passion. "If Grimoire of Dragon q is one of the books that Kuro read, we simply search for one of the books that Kuro read. Diana, what books did Kuro read?"

Laila looked impatient, but Diana showed a complicated expression.

Diana then slowly pointed at one of the bookshelves.

"Is it on that shelf?"

"No, I mean everything."

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

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

Laila immediately thought Kuro's hobby of reading was a little excessive and troublesome. He sighed then slowly walked towards the shelf like a zombie.

Although he was now in a state of emergency, maybe the only person who relaxed was only Laila.

"Laila, wait a minute!"

Charlmilia stopped Laila. Laila then turned to look with a confused expression.

"We don't have to search one by one like that."

"Then how?"

Charlmilia smiled slightly.

"Didn't Kuro give us something if it happened like this?"

At first Laila did not understand, but she remembered that Kuro had given her something.

"Ahh.you're right."

Laila then reached into the pouch on her waist. I don't know why Laila seemed to have trouble finding it in the small pouch.

Meanwhile, a loud explosion was heard. From the window they could see the battle had begun.

"Ah. here it is."

Laila found. He then showed it to Diana and Charlmilia.

It was a small clear bottle filled with a thick red liquid.

"What's this?" Charlmilia took it and observed. "Blood?"

"Yes. It was Kuro's blood. Unfortunately I don't know what that has to do with our problems."

"......."

Charlmilia doesn't know like Laila either.

As for Diana, she put her hand on her chin like she was thinking.

"Miss Charlmilia. Give Mr. Kuro's blood to me!"

"Let's. bailklah."

After receiving it, Diana set her foot toward the bookshelf and brought the bottle closer to the book on the shelf.

"What are you doing?"

"Miss Laila, you know, according to the legend of the Grimoire of Dragon written using dragon blood. The dragon blood used was Ruby's blood. Mr. Kuro is the one who made the contract with Ruby. So his blood must have had a certain reaction to the Grimoire of Dragon."

"So apparently, this explains why Kuro was able to find the Grimoire of Dragon."

Diana nodded.

They then searched shelf by shelf. They had to be fast as the sounds of battle could be heard quite clearly.

What shocked them was which pressure was terrifying.

They realize they don't have much time.

After a long search. Finally there was only the last book, but they were surprised when there was no reaction in the last book.

They immediately look disappointed.

"Ha... Does the Grimoire of Dragon really exist?"

Charlmilia complained because they found nothing after much effort.

"But Mr. Kuro can't lie. Besides, he can't possibly joke around in a serious matter like this."

Charlmilia knows it too, but that's the only possibility.

"Already have. You don't need to make a fuss. If Kuro says the book exists, then it does exist."

Laila tried to calm them both down. But that doesn't change what happened.

"But-"

"Let's not forget, there's still one book we haven't checked out yet."

They both realized Laila's words had a point. Then simultaneously glanced at the book on the table with a dumbfounded look.

With doubt they approached. Then put Kuro's blood near the book, unfortunately there was no reaction.

The three of them immediately sighed deeply.

"Well, now we just think about getting out of this place."

There is nothing wrong with Charlmilia's advice. The two of them were also conscious rather than in the room continuously and could not do anything, it was better for them to come out to help the battle.

They had already given up looking for the Grimoire of Dragon.

"It's a pity that we actually spend time looking for something yan-hey look! The book shines."

Laila's words are correct. From the book, a red light shone.

Diana quickly opened the shining sheet. His eyes widened after the intricate writing and several symbols and magic circles appeared.

"It's kan... Uh?"

"Disappeared? Why?" ask Charlmilia.

"I don't know, but obviously we found what we were looking for. Besides, now I understand why only a few people can read this book."

Charlmilia and Laila did not understand what Diana meant.

"Miss Laila and Miss Charlmilia can't read the letters Dragonia, so you don't know. But for certain people, the content of this book can change."

Diana stands.

"Now let's find a way out of this room. If it's not fast, I'm sure the enemy is near!"

They both nodded in agreement.

After that, the three of them thought about how to get out, but they also realized that the magic used to lock them up was no ordinary magic.

First, Charlmilia tried to attack using a plasma ball, but there was no significant damage and it was absorbed.

(A shield capable of absorbing magic, really troublesome. In other words, magic does not work, unfortunately physical attacks are also not too influential.)

Charlmilia remembers kicking the door a few times, but there was no result.

(If Kuro is here, I think we can get out easily.)

Charlmilia sighed and returned to thinking. Diana was the same.

While they were serious, Laila tried to open the door normally, and she succeeded.

"............EH?"

What's Laila doing?

"W-how can it be?" ask Diana.

"I just turned the knob around as usual."

Suspicious answers, but now they don't have to worry about how to get out.

The three of them then went out and ran in the hallway.

"Now, what should we do? We've got the book, and where are we going?" ask Diana.

"The most important thing is to prevent the enemy from taking the book, the plan is that we will be reunited with Aldest, but he still hasn't returned."

"Then what about Mr. Kuro? ..to the left."

They turned into the palace hallway.

"We can't do it, now he's fighting. If we go there, it'll make it easier for the enemy."

"Where are we really going?" ask Laila.

They ran, but the goal was not clear.

"We're headed for the safest place in this palace. Only a few people know."

"You mean the king's family's refuge?"

Diana nodded.

"We forget about that. The enemy this time had enough power to destroy a 7-meter-thick anti-magic wall. I don't think there's any point in hiding in a place like that."

Diana suddenly stopped. Laila and Charlmilia stopped.

"If it's true, what should we do?"

Diana looked panicked, but in this kind of situation it was normal considering she had no choice.

"Actually we thought it would happen like this."

Charlmilia reached into her pocket and gave something to Diana.

Diana accepts then realizes what and purpose the object is being used for.

"Yes. But it was your choice. You have to choose, and we won't blame you for all your choices."

"......."

"But one thing you have to remember, we asked you to consider your options!"

"Actually his plan is to steal the Grimoire of Dragon after finding it, but Kuro is against."

"Shut up! Don't tell me that!"

But Laila only scowled as if unconcerned with Charlmilia's anger.

"Well, I don't think it's a big deal because we're against that plan. So now what did Princess Diana choose?"

He didn't answer. He had to make a decision and it was not an easy one.

While thinking that, a human-shaped shadow arrived to block them.

The shadow is Shadow.

That was all the case after the attack began. And he also did not forget their words.

['You don't have to trust us. We are just strangers just passing by and helping out. But one thing's for sure, you can't trust anyone.']

"Ha ha. ha .ha..."

Diana continued to run without a direction. The battles heard throughout the palace made Diana even more anxious and panicked.

But he has to stay calm.

The book in her hand was the key to the fate of the world today, but at the same time it was precious to Diana for having so many memories.

Diana took a breath and leaned her body against the wall.

He then took the object in his pocket which was a small black cube.

The black box is a magical thing called Pandora. Its small size is not its actual size. Pandora can change size according to the needs of its users.

Pandora is categorized as dangerous and rare magic objects because it has a function to eliminate a magic contained in an object such as a grimoire or magic weapons.

In short it's like an anticristal, but devoted to an object.

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

Diana hesitated to use that thing or not.

Diana was given a choice. Destroying the spell that was in the grimoire of the dragon, or continue to run and hide.

These two options have their own risks.

By destroying the spell, the enemy will not get their destination and the world is safe for a while. But as a princess, the book in her hand was a powerful weapon to nourish Dragonia, her country.

If it does not destroy and continues to run, then there is a possibility that the enemy will seize the book and use it to destroy the world. This happens if the enemy gets it.

"...ugh.."

Diana gritted her teeth.

Negrinya or the world? Diana did not have much time because every second things always changed.

He then ran once again around the palace. His goal was a secret room that only he himself knew.

"....um?"

But while running, he meets Knox who is also running towards him.

"[Rock Spear]"

Knox created a spear from the ground and threw it right at Diana.

"Eh?"

Unable to react and surprised, Diana could not avoid Knox's attack.

Is this what I mean unbelievable.

Diana recalled back when she chatted and joked with Charlmilia and Laila. There's no sign that they're gonna do any of this.

To save the world, they would kill themselves.

Diana was already resigned to her fate. At least he could calm down because the grimoire of dragons was safer if it was in their hands.

Klaang!!

Suddenly the sound of metal clashing sounded near Diana.

"Stupid, run fast. Behind you!!"

Knox shouted as she ran towards the dazed Diana, but Diana now understood Knox was not aiming at her, but a weapon pointing at her from behind, but what?

Diana immediately looked back, and she found something even more shocking.

A thin piece of metal that was connected by a rope was where it was right behind him and was pointing at him. It was a Magic Arm in the form of a snake sword.

And Diana knew who had such a Magic Arm.

Clangg! The sound of metal clashing was once again heard as Knox managed to withstand the snake sword attack a second time.

The snake sword arrived backwards as it returned to its original form in the bend of the passageway.

"Mr Knox"

"Purti Diana, thank God I'm on time."

Knox then greeted Diana. Knox instantly knew the book in Diana's hand was the Grimoire of Dragon.

"You're okay, right?"

Diana nodded.

"I'm fine, but-

"I know Charl and Laila are fighting Shadow and holding him back."

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

"Honestly, I'm sure they won't, but most importantly, we have to figure out what's here, right, Prince Louis?"

A smile appeared in the hallway. The sound of steps approached along with the sound of metal being dragged.

Then came the figure that attacked Diana using a snake sword.

"?!" "?"

The two of them had no other choice but to be cooed as the red bloodstains now filled Louis' clothes.

"You..."

Louis just smiled slightly and said,

"Not bad for magic school students..."
