Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

New Problem

Meanwhile, not far from Kuro's house, precisely in a place commonly used for training, there was another battle that was no less fierce.

Jinn fought with Asura again. They were practicing to fill up the free time while waiting for Kuro to come to his senses.

Jinn fought at full strength. He even used a Knight Gear, but rather than using it, it was more appropriate to have to because he could no longer use his Magic Arm. Perhaps this was one of the losses from the strength he had gained.

Unlike Jinn, Asura was still fighting with his bare hands.

But even though Jinn's strength was superior, or even stronger than the last time they fought, Jinn was the one who was cornered and nearly defeated.

"Ha ha ha..."

Jinn gasped. Sweat flowed profusely behind the armor that covered his body. Jinn looked at Asura who was standing in front of her.

Unlike Jinn, Asura looked fine. He did not even gasp for breath or even look serious about facing Jinn.

"Jinn, finish this fight. With you now, many times you try you'll lose."

"Tsk!!"

For days, they continued to practice fighting. In a day they can even fight 5 times, but during that time Jinn never won even from Asura.

"Jinn, how long were you like this?"

"..."

"I don't know what happened in Dragonia, but one thing is certain.... The Jinn I know is not a weakling like you!"

Hearing that, Jinn just went ahead and took out the sword that was a Knight Gear weapon.

Jinn moved at high speed like a bullet. Asura did not feel fear or trepidation. Asura actually sighed heavily like seeing something sickening.

Suddenly Asura's hands were filled with a white aura. It was Ki.

Asura just faced Jinn without hesitation just a fist, but-

"Guah!!"

Jinn bounced hard and hit a wall away from the training ground. The Knight Gear he was wearing was destroyed and his sword was also destroyed. Moments later Knight Gear disappeared and showed Jinn's bruised figure all over her body.

Jinn's body then fell to the ground quite hard.

Some of the teens headed straight for Jinn and took her out into the open for treatment.

Meanwhile, Asura came down from the training ground with a dissatisfied face. Down below, Charlmilia and Knox had been waiting for him.

Both of them wore leather clothes just like Laila. It's just that Charmilia's look is a little different because of her long hair.

"Congratulations on his victory, Asura."

"I don't deserve to survive a fight like that."

Charlmilia only smiled a little.

"And I told you not to call me that, I'm not a kid anymore."

"You are still a little girl."

Charlmilia pulled Asura and immediately stuck her head on both of her large breasts.

Asura's face instantly reddened and his eyes twisted in circles. Smoke billowed from his head and finally his body did not move like his soul was being pulled by a death god.

"Aaha ha, he is indeed a child."

"Stop messing with the heart of an innocent man like himself, we have something more important."

Charlmilia then called out to Asura's friends and let them take Asura beside Jinn. If asked who is the strongest, Charmilia may be the one.

"What's important? Whatchu mean?"

"Stop pretending, you know what happens if it goes on like this, right?"

The smile instantly disappeared from Charlmilia. He looked at Jinn.

"Of course I know."

"........"

"..but how else. We don't have the power to change everything that has happened. I'm used to this kind of thing, but it seems Jinn can't do it."

Charlmilia let out a small laugh and put her feet away. Knox.

They walked down a rocky path leading towards the underground river.

After the battle at Dragonia was over, Charlmilia, Knox and Jinn forced Aldest to tell the truth about what was behind the battle.

They did win, but the victory felt hollow.

Aware of hiding further would only bring about an adverse impact, Aldest finally gave up and told him everything he knew.

First, the real mission is not to help Dragonia defeat the Necromancer, but to destroy the newest weapon of Dragonia. The empire had long known that Dragonia developed a new deadly weapon, if it was used for war, what happened?

Charlmilia and the others knew very well how powerful the Dragon Arm was, which was why they felt it was not strange that such a weapon deserved to be destroyed.

Second, find out what Dragonia's relationship with Liberia is. A mysterious organization that until now still has no known purpose, but they are the masterminds in various conflicts around the world.

From the investigation, it is known that Dragonia's relationship with Liberia is not shallow.

Third, although it looks like Cross is behind all the conflicts in Dragonia, the real mastermind is the second prince, Louis.

As a man who relied on brains rather than muscles, Knox did not find it strange that Louis was behind it all, but for Charlmilia, this was surprising.

Louis is the person behind the idea of making Dragon Arm and is also the one who gave the idea to try out the power of Dragon Arm by fighting Deon.

If Dragon Arm could defeat one of the strongest people in Dragonia, wouldn't that mean they created a weapon that could replace a witch in a war?

The battle in Dragonia did make them suffer a great loss, but this loss would be a great gain one day. Only time will answer.

And this will only be a beginning.

As magic school students who happened to be involved with that complicated matter, they could do nothing. And even though they want to do something, accusing without proof will only get them in trouble.

The only one who can't stay still is Jinn. He's been acting like never before since he came back from Dragonia.

Many people understand Jinn's feelings. Moreover, he was a person who inherited the wishes of one of the citizens who trusted their leader to death, but in the end they were just a pawn that was removed after being useless.

"..then what about you?"

"You mean?"

"Why can you be so calm about a situation like this? We managed to defeat the enemy, but we didn't win the real fight. ...how do you feel?"

"....."

"You're a strange man. I can't guess what you're thinking. And I don't know why I feel like you have something in common with Kuro. ...Knox could be you..."

Knox remained silent, unwilling to respond to Charlmilia's conjecture or theory.

Knox doesn't care what other people think. He has a purpose in his life. Even he would devote all he had for the sake of it.

The battle in Dragonia was just a stepping stone. If he fails and dies in that battle, it means that he does not deserve what he aims for.

Elsewhere, Lairo was also fighting, but not fighting against the residents of the Blad clan. He was fighting his own father.

Both of them had a Magic Arm in the form of a large sword similar to a machete to slash monsters in an instant. Both also have the same magic element, the sound element.

With that resemblance, it is not surprising that it has almost the same attack pattern.

"Yahoo!!!!!"

Lairo shouted and prepared to attack with a slash. Unlike Lairo, his father doesn't look serious about fighting.

Strauss avoided Lairo's slash with only minimal movement.

"What's wrong, why are you getting slower? Is this just your ability?"

"Kuh!!"

Hearing his father's provocation, Lairo instantly increased the speed of his attack, even so he still could not hit his father.

"Hmm. better, but still not enough. [Sonic Cannon]"

Straus' free hand immediately gave rise to a transparent ball of wind. The ball was shot towards Lairo like an iron ball.

Lairo has seen the attack many times since childhood, which is why he knows how to deal with it. Lairo used the wide side of his sword to resist the attack, but just before the ball hit Lairo's sword, Straus snapped his finger and the ball exploded like a bomb.

Lairo's eyes were shocked by the unexpected attack. His body bounced and finally fell hard.

Seeing that, Strauss laughed happily.

"Aha ha.. I'm surprised you're still alive with that kind of power? But I'm quite happy that you're stronger, ..but Lairo, can you protect someone valuable to you with that kind of power?"

"Kuh....."

Not far from that place, Aldest smiled to see Lairo losing to his father shamefully.

At the same time, the imperial capital of Houou, the city of Phoenix.

The room with minimal light was filled with a heavy and ominous aura. A round table with 7 seats is peeling off the table. On one of those chairs, Electra sat down with a serious face, but she also showed a mischievous smile.

In the other seat of Laila's father, Leon is seen holding back anger, but he also shows a complicated expression. The person sitting in the other chair was not much different. But the view is different from one empty chair.

"Leon, what do you think of this?" ask one of the old men named Takioz.

Just like Leon and Electra, she was one of the paladins who had quite an old age.

All who sat were almost all Paladins, but not with the other two. But both are no less important than all Paladins.

They are currently in a secret meeting. Even though they were in the same place in the room, but it was not their true form. They use magic to project their bodies.

"Keh, we don't have to ask her opinion."

One of the other paladins looked unhappy with everything that happened in Dragonia.

"He had planned everything from the beginning. He even used his own daughter to smooth out his plans. We'd better do it"

"Aramiz, quiet!!"

The paladin named Aramiz instantly fell silent to one of the people who was not a paladin.

"If you say without proof, you know what that means, right?"

"Khh..."

Aramiz can only hold back his emotions. He cannot oppose someone who is superior to him.

"I know what you're thinking, with all the data available, normally we would think Leon was planning something using the Demon King's descendants, he uses enough of his power. You know yourself in is the strongest man in the country. If he wanted power, he would have done it long ago without having to use the Demon King's descendants."

Everyone thought the same thing about that guy. That's proof Leon's innocence.

"But we are not silent about the current situation. The fact that Leon's daughter is the future Queen is something we didn't expect."

"I don't think that's true, Emperor."

Electra suddenly interrupted.

"Daughter of Leon being Quenn was long written in fate. Even if we try to prevent them from meeting, we won't be able to prevent them."

"That's just your excuse, isn't it?" aramiz said with a cynical tone. "You were the one who first discovered the descendants of the Demon King. You also made them together. What exactly are you planning, B*tch?"

Electra just smiled a little.

"Plan? Whatchu mean? Do you have any proof?"

Aramiz immediately looked even more annoyed than the previous one.

"Tch."

Tension began to occur. This is what often happens when paladins gather. Not with their real bodies.

"Repeat everyone. We're out of the topic we want to talk about" Takioz said. "We can't ignore the descendants of the Demon King and Laila, but we know Leon's loyalty. He would definitely do something about this. Isn't this his family's business anyway? I don't think we should interfere unless they're doing something that's out of bounds, right?"

Everything's silent. No one disputes or tries to contradict Takioz's words.

"Then the matter of the descendants of the Demon King will be handed over to you, Leon."

"Give it to me, Emperor."

The man known as the emperor again showed a serious look.

"Electra, I've read the reports regarding the battle that took place in Dragonia. I'm honestly a little surprised, but did you find anything else about our enemy?"

"Ah.. about that, I did find something interesting."

Arrived at the center of their screen where appeared. The screen was inscribed with quite long data.

Everyone read the document, and when they finished, they showed the same reaction, which was surprise.

"Electra, is this all true?"

"Yes. There's nothing wrong with any of that."

Everyone immediately broke out in cold sweat.

"Liberia is scarier than we thought. If we don't act fast, they'll reach their goal. .. And I don't think anyone in this room wants that to happen, do they?"

"Electra, could this be the reason why you..."

Electra just smiled a little. A smile full of mystery.

Meanwhile, in the village of the Blad clan. Precisely in Kuro's room, Kuro finished eating the food that Yui had prepared. Even though he had eaten a special menu, it still did not make him physically full.

"Have finished? Here I clean up."

Kuro gives a dirty plate to Laila. Laila accepted it and directly walked out of Kuro's room.

Kuro smiled happily. He was happy to see Laila who was increasingly looking like a wife. Unfortunately, the smile disappeared.

Kuro slowly rose out of his room. He found Laila who had returned.

"Are you going out?"

Kuro nodded.

"I haven't moved my body in a long time. My body feels stiff as a corpse."

"Then wait for me. I'm coming with you."

"...well, but you're really my wife."

Laila's cheeks instantly flushed in embarrassment.

"Ara.. Did you just realize? You don't know how lucky you are to have someone who loves you like me fu ufu.."

"Yes yes. I'm the luckiest man in the world, .I'm a little hesitant about your cooking."

"Gu. I can't cook, why are you talking about that. mooooooo...."

Kuro laughed a little. At the same time he remembered something important.

"Oh yes. Laila, have you seen Lic?"

Kuro had yet to see his white sword. So he asked.

"Lic's.."

Laila showed a complicated expression. It made Kuro immediately think something had happened with his sword.

"Errr. about Lic.."

"Hm?"

Suddenly Kuro felt his clothes being pulled by someone from behind. To his astonishment, Kuro did not feel the presence of a person behind him.

Kuro looked back and found a little girl.

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

But that little girl was no ordinary little girl. Kuro could tell right away just from his appearance alone.

That girl is like a 5 year old girl. It had white hair that was slightly circular like Laila and also had red eyes like a burning fire just like Laila.

"Papa."

The girl also had a cute voice. But why did the girl call Kuro "papa"?.

Kuro immediately broke out in a cold sweat and turned towards Laila.

Laila also showed a complicated look.

"Laila, ..who..this child? Could he..."

Their kid? With her white hair, the girl was about the same as the two when combined. The possibility exists even though it makes no sense.

"...yeah. As you might expect, ..The child is..."

"........"

"..Lic."

"..............................................................Huh?"
