Sorey POV
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1GtxXt8Z7
The standing ground was shaking with the air, and a strange sound rang from below. Afterward, the huge amethyst that exudes an ominous aura before our eyes emit a weird red light, like the color of blood, it has shown its presence in converse to its silence before but has released a powerful evil and malevolence just now, and we are all shocked by the unknown the power. We failed to take any effective actions to prevent the birth of this force that shouldn't have come to the world. The solid crystal seal can withstand that force of malevolence inside and at the same time block our external attacks without showing a crack. The giant crystal rose into the air and transformed into a giant spear, emitting red magical light, flying to the ground at high speed and standing on the ground. The magic power unfolded above makes the spear look like a cross glowing with blood.

There is nothing left on the roof. The phenomenon just now deeply makes me feel that the situation is not good and we cannot solve it. Presumably following the direction where the light flew made me worried about Edna and the others, so we agreed to go down and meet our companions first. Relying on Rose's guidance, we went to Edna and the others in the fastest time. There are no more monsters, no signal interference, and no life other than us.

There are no enemies, but something must have happened. This sense of violation is lingering in my heart. When we reached the bottom floor, we saw a big hole in the floor, and the wind gushed out of it, and only Edna and the two Normins beside her stood on the edge.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P40MN0Mc6
It's like dealing with the strongest force with the smallest force, it is unbelievable that she stood still with such force to face that dangerous force. I was very pleasantly surprised that she was unscathed. Yet her expression is absolutely not joyful, and it can be said to be as cold as ice. Even normin Eternal, who is with her, has a sad expression. I suddenly don't know how to talk.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1IDWVscI
"Edna?"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIcThiBGjB
"Sorey? You are here. Please calm down after listening..." She pretended to notice me just now but she was just thinking about how to start. She suddenly looked sad, which gave me a bad premonition.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qCLT8smUl
"Velvet and Eleanor were swallowed by the dragon." She declared calmly.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ttc7BlfFU
At the moment when I was told by Edna, my heart was frozen like ice.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq9MRpdNXe
What did she say?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAEMX3IWCO
I forced myself to swallow saliva to calm myself down, the world was so quiet that I couldn’t even swallow the sound of fear, and my heartbeat shook the air at this moment.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOFQJGFqBo
I tried to understand her words in a good way but failed terribly.
I breathed the air loudly, and the breathing was so loud that I could hear it. I wanted to calm down, but the air was as cold as it was stabbing my lungs, like freezing my head. After a certain frozen second of my mind, I still want to deny the result, want to deny the terrible images that my head imagined.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjKnSowQlU
I looked around, no one else was there, everywhere. I couldn't find Velvet and Eleanor who are mentioned in Edna’s words, and I didn't see Zaveid who should have worked with them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5z1w3Dxx
Where did they all go?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYUeYAczop
From the big hole in the floor, I can vaguely see the remnants of the next floor, the broken wall and the floor, and the other is the endless sea of clouds that I will see from the sky. I just feel desolate and lonely when I look at it. Mere observations can no longer reason about what happened here. All the evidence and hints disappeared.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg01oCxUCYx
If they were not eaten, they would have fallen. Otherwise, I should see their traces.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEmsCZW3v2
The roar was echoing in the air, and the fear caused by its coercion made cold sweat wet my back. What I saw from the cave were red and shiny scales, but they were buried in black filth. The huge body was moving all the time, hovering around the building. Roughly speaking, the dragon may be more than a hundred meters in length. Affected by malevolence and becoming densely clouded in the sky, the red scales covered with tainted black flames show absolute power and an incalculable amount of malevolence.
It seems to be the incarnation of disaster, born as the “evil of this world”'. The red dragon wore all the darkness that had been collected to cultivate it so far and descended onto this sky. That malevolence was the most powerful enemy I have ever felt. It seems to be the Lord of Calamity in theory. This is the dragon mentioned by Edna.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLiRixZo8h
"Swallowed by this dragon...?" I stared at Edna blankly and reconfirmed again.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6fuGAcWH9
As if my head was blank, I stopped thinking, and I didn't want to accept the answers suggested in my mind. I looked at Edna who was able to calmly announce the news with an unbelievable mood, hoping that she would tell me this was a bad joke. She looked at me firmly, which gave me a sense of steadiness, but she was not joking from beginning to end.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwyxh5he2
"Then is she —" When I heard the news, I was thinking of a bad direction.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O6NU7DhWG
Then is she dead?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqw43WAPIP
After all, I never thought for a while about how to live by being eaten by a dragon.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVtU3zEHFG
I kept denying that she was dead.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqVUop5Ak
And Edna seemed to know what I was thinking and said what I needed most.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2tPkEYxk8
"Not dead, I'm sure she must still be alive inside, so----" Edna said firmly.
"You must pull her back from the inside."

------------------------------
(a while before, Edna POV)
Seeing the situation in front of me, my heart seemed to stop (although I don't know if the Seraphim also has a heart like a human).
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIBj5m7SZA
Everything happened too suddenly, the ground suddenly collapsed, the dragon suddenly appeared, and then Velvet was eaten.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSv2oRTjym
Velvet said that Eisen's blessing (curse) is still working on her. I'm afraid this was not joking. If it weren't for this, I would not be able to explain the series of fatal incidents. Even so, she did not flinch, which should be the reason why her brother liked her. My brother and I have similar interests. It must not be accidental that I like her, but she is a very corresponding person to our personality.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84IOL3in7N
She is a selfish but very caring person for her companions, but also a stubborn fool. No matter how many times we dissuaded her, she would fight in the end, for the cherished companion, and for atonement. I hate selfish people, but I don’t hate people like her, who claim to act just for herself but always have thought for others.

Even if her body is fragile and broken at any time, no one can completely prevent her from going to the battlefield. Although she did rely on her partner that she didn't fight directly on the battlefield, in the end, she was forced to go to fight in person. I feel that that is something she will do sooner or later, to let her fragile body have more stamina to deal with the last and worst enemy.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G4kZDkZXg
Eternal did not form a pact with her directly, so he has no high resistance to malevolence like ours. Velvet knew that the dragon’s body is full of malevolence so she throw Eternal away before she was swallowed, what an admirable decision? If this judgment can be made, she must be able to escape before being eaten, but she chose to be eaten, and I can also infer that she was eaten deliberately. Trying to calm down from seeing what happened, I can only think optimistically.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz9I8pBKox
Zaveid: "Hey, Edna, if you need my shoulders, I can lend you, I don’t mind a little bit of moisture on the skin ." He seemed to think that I would cry when I saw this, but I was even more reluctant to cry after being asked like this. He has a talent for ruining my mood. If I didn’t see Velvet’s expression, I am afraid I will cry embarrassingly and fall in his arms, even though I know there is no time to cry.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrk55lCRXZ
His conjecture was not entirely wrong. When I just saw Velvet being eaten, I unconsciously called her name, as if I expected the worst situation, I almost cried.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmBreuXKyq
Who can stay calm in this situation? At the moment when you see an important person step into the land of death in front of your eyes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJxr9kE9Ob
My brother turned into a dragon and came back by my side. I couldn't stop or change this, but Velvet was by my side until now, and I couldn't stop her from being eaten.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlShDpHe7p
I stretched out my hand and called to her, hoping that she could catch my hand and escape from the dragon's mouth, but she just turned her head and smiled, smoothly like a smile on a walk, and then was completely swallowed by the dragon's mouth. It was like saying that she was going to explore with a smile. This gave me a new direction of thinking. The confusion of thoughts led me from a once desperate mood to confusion. By sorting out my thoughts, I am now calmer.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJSsqazkHd
"No, compared to this, these people should now be sent away, and they continued here too dangerous." I coldly respond to his concern. Rather than anyone's concern, I would like to be alone for a while. If the prisoners and homunculus we rescued stay in this place, they will hinder the fight. I don't have the confidence to protect them and fight the dragon at the same time. Zaveid seems to have been in contact with Magiland all the time. He will be familiar with the environment there. It would kill two birds with one stone to leave him temporarily with this job.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlilZWomqo
"Oh? You don't seem to worry about Velvet and the others?" Zaveid looked very confused, even though In his opinion, being eaten by a dragon is nothing to joke about, and he also thinks that it would be bad luck if he went in. But even so, he did not appear to be very sad, perhaps because he has also experienced partings, maybe he doesn't think Velvet will die like this, or he doesn't plan to feel sad for another woman.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNPrmBsooc
"She is eaten, my worrying won’t change that. This woman is one who survived after traveling with my brother, she can face the extreme of misfortune. Just like all the misfortunes and life and deaths she has faced so far, she is not so easy to die. It’s not like that I am worried about this stubborn idiot."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4dMHOorhk
I just made up a reason to let myself not pay attention to this matter anymore, but that reason just convinced me that Velvet was still alive. In fact, she did experience a lot of misfortune, and being eaten by the dragon is just a mere misfortune for her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfVnYCcfFg
I have decided not to worry about this idiot anymore. Until the last moment, she was still trying her best to survive and avoid directly participating in the battle. I also believe that she is cherishing her life, but at the critical moment she used such a nonsense plan. . Although she acted as if she wanted to live, the level of chaos in her actions left me doubting about this, and I was like an idiot who was worried about her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA58IyFEXWt
There is not much leisure time on the battlefield to make people worry about others, but I am still troubled by her actions.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RuaW33Bd0
"... Maybe she was eaten deliberately."
Is that what she trying to tell me? ……..How I felt more and more upset about her. To go straight into the dragon's stomach to fight. Such a messy method only she could think of.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DmHnCHOtT
There is no guarantee to come out alive if she goes in there, even so, she still did.
(‘Since you said "You are not alone", then you don't leave me alone here, idiot.’)
I complained to Velvet in my mind.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0AOxFq4jN
In this short period of time, I knew you, you were being my protector in your own will, and you were trying to buy time and to save Sorey and me while committing crimes that hurt yourself when no one asked you to. You made me look forward to you, saved me arbitrarily, and walked into my heart without permission.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8xdn2MnUi
Then you want to leave without permission? How could I allow such a thing?
I won’t be satisfied until I have you here again.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoWbeuIrh0
The feeling of despair and sadness is gradually turning into unhappiness and anger.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVbDrQchKM
"Okay, I understand what you mean. That is, rather than being digested, she will just make a big fuss in it. Well, very much like she will. It may be the dragon who would be troubled by her now." Zaveid laughed and said, as expected, he didn't think Velvet would die like this.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMY4uNZdYM
"... But I don't want to see such a terrifying scene again for the third time."
The scene of her being eaten and the picture falling before my eyes are still inscribed in my mind for a long time, I just can’t take it to see important people dying in front of my eyes for the third time. Like that time she blocked me from a dragon's attack and then be dying before my eyes. I don’t want to see it again... maybe it’s because This way I don’t want to contact humans anymore, they always bother me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLptu8Pdkj6
Even though she is very strong, she is still a fragile human.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8cfoL3aSn
"Then you catch her and teach her a lesson~" Zaveid smiled and patted my head, then walked away, carrying the homunculus survived over from previous battles.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2NrPG9Lnd
"That's for sure." I stared at him, thinking about how to teach Velvet a lesson when she came back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yqfhd6TM2
"Oh, how fearsome...I feel bad for Velvet now. And you seem to be okay now." Zaveid looked at my expression and smiled. He seemed to be really worried about me, caring about me in his way.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zj7PDoOgU
"...... thank you," I whispered thanks and immediately turned to look at the frightened prisoners.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqyiY7i769
"Well, there is nothing you guys can help. The dragon is very dangerous. I can't protect you all the time. Walk this way to the magic circle, and it will take you to the ground. Zaveid, you take the kid and lead them." I built a temporary road for the prisoners and urged them to leave after reaching the floor with the teleportation arte. Although they objected slightly, they all agreed in the end.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbZyyUUeK2
"Is it okay for you to stay here alone?" Zaveid asked when he looked back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh27JXQRSb
"Did you forget that I have experience living with a dragon? Also, Eternal and Phoenix are still here."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoy8bXM29o
"That's right, good luck. ."

"Not dead, I'm sure she must still be alive inside, so----" Edna said firmly,
"You must pull her back from the inside."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8RCSRvDFV
I also noticed her anger, to whom? Incompetence towards herself? Slowness towards me? Willfulness towards Velvet? Maybe all of the above.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPRqekJo3H
She's right, Velvet is not so easy to die. Even when she is physically weak, she still fights in her own way and leads the team to victory. Even when she was mentally weak, she still struggled hard so far. I should have confidence in her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNbeZoFtJ0
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtke0rTLW62
Hearing the words that Edna firmly believes is like a “Reassurance pill” that makes me firmly believe what she Believes, I want to believe Edna but not the imagination in my mind.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwW92tqq5
People only believe what they want to believe, so maybe I have become a little selfish because I want to believe that Velvet is still alive.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSG25qWNZ6
In order to protect everything around me, in order to take her back, I must become stronger.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFKlWljEeV
I nodded to Edna and said that I must bring her back, realize the little wish we made together before going to the battle!
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeVk97A3zk
“There seems to be something obstructing the squire contract to Velvet, but I don’t think it has disappeared. I believe that both of them are okay, Sorey-san.” Lailah checked the pact connection and smiled at me and comforted me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rfv8nfZ3j
Hearing Lailah’s evidence, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the time to relax was immediately interrupted by arrogant laughter.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAw520gVQp
"Huh ha ha ha ha... this is my new body, it’s great, The whole body is full of power!!!"

Tartarus said, his voice was dozens of times more majestic than usual. It wasn't until the dragon's head emerged that I was surprised that it was the sound from the dragon, which was wrapped in strong malevolence. Only the dragon's pupil is a sapphire that is as clear and beautiful as lake water, with strange patterns in the pupil, but this can't hide the brilliance that seems to eliminate the confusion of people. Before becoming a dragon, it may also be a seraph with a story.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE9B2nY1jG
"Tartarus, have you... become a dragon? " Becoming a dragon is tantamount to becoming an incarnation who runs unconsciously and brings disaster to the surroundings. Therefore, that is the end that is generally not expected to be reached as a seraph, and it is impossible to speak like this. Things like this, contrary to what I knew, made me very confused.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SBvw86rZS
"No, to be correct, I and the dragon have become one."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv5npW1Yri
Tartarus explained proudly, seeming to think that even if we tell all the truth behind it, we can't do anything with him.
"It seems that you are very confused, then, before you were killed by me, I will tell you stupid existences with my great compassion. Let me tell you how stupid your resisting behavior is. Shepherd, you once asked me why I wanted to capture the seraphim, and this is how I answered you. ‘Because I hate them’, but this is only half of the answer. Now I will tell you the other half of the answer----they are the materials I need for research, and the power in front of your eyes is composed of them. "
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4o9Jqrpyk
According to his statement, most of the seraphim we want to rescue have already become the material of his research --- have died. We can probably guess, but when he said it, it still made us feel a chill.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyvPiNRHSW
“Seraphim train themselves to get stronger, even if it takes ten or a hundred years, it may not be able to gain overwhelming power, and it can also gain strength through faith, but this is still too slow. Yet the seraphim becoming the dragon can gain overwhelming power in an instant. I am sure that the dragon is the ultimate form of the seraphim, and only becoming a dragon is the real power that can trigger all of its own abilities. This is the quickest and most effective way. It is a pity that my special physique prevents me from being affected by malevolence and becoming a dragon. Thus I had to turn other seraphim into dragons and replace me as the strongest firstly."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG87z6TH2K4
He pretended to be regretful but excitedly said the reason for the birth of this dragon. ---Because he wants to have absolute power, and the moment when the seraph painfully turns into a dragon is the moment he feels happy.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITnskMbGWF
"Here is a question, how to make the dragon the strongest? I have realized one way from the daemons. The way to deal with and compress a large amount of garbage is called "Venomization", so since I awaken at this age, I have been catching the seraphim and hellions, trapping them together to carry out "Venomization", turning them into purer and more powerful malevolence. After repeating it countless times, I stirred up with the homunculus believers I made myself. Of course, maximizing the efficiency of collecting malevolence is also indispensable. I noticed that some ancient relics seem to cause misfortune, and when used together with the seraphim with the blessing of disasters, they become disaster triggers. Thanks to them, weak human beings were quickly defeated by malevolence and turned into dragon foods. "
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1PNnqsgds
Tartarus summoned the ancient relics that brought misfortune in his mouth and played in the air. Several of the objects made Edna show a terrible expression as she would never forgive him by that.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE68EzFt5n
" . . . Brother's bracelet and coins. . . . How dare you to use it. . . . "From my point of view, it is an item of historical value, but Edna seems to be able to tell whose item it is at a glance. After all, it is her brother's item. Even if she has only seen it a few times, she will not forget it.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqX8uWMGDR
Edna stared at the dragon, which was much stronger than her, with anger that could gush out at any time. Her frank and unwavering pupils showed her dissatisfaction. She ignored the huge difference in strength. The bastard in front of her was after her brother died. She still slandered her brother’s blessings and abused his relics. She absolutely does not tolerate insults to her family.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUuXk8QVtR
"Ah, I’m so scared, but all the malevolence is absorbed by an ancient dragon with a wavelength similar to mine. The result is the dragon in front of you. I don't think you have the ability to fight, little girl. "
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8NZX8J3th
The seraphim with me, except Edna, looked at Tartarus who was talking about everything in a panic. He ignored the pain of all seraphim, gathered them, tortured them with pain and malevolence until they became dragons, and then let them continue to struggle. Turned into the most powerful malevolence and then eaten again, it is simply hell. He ignores the will and dignity of the seraphim, playing with them like toys, and finally becomes his power.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDEqSKMwgT
"She is not alone. " I said.

Such behavior makes people feel angry, and I can also understand other people's thoughts that he is not worth redemption, because he blindly plays with the fate of others and has no respect for life.
But I also know that from childhood to adulthood, no one has really taught him these things, that he went very twisted and Claudin couldn’t save him. Therefore at the very end, I want to convey the value that is cherished in the world to him.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXK8G0nCOo
"The ants can be trampled to death or burned to death even when they are assembled, and it only takes time. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you all. Velvet & Eleanor brought fear to several towns and caused a lot of malevolence generated from the people there. In order to protect the town, you defeated the 8 dragons and directly saved the effort to obtain their malevolence. The people in that place were also affected by you, encouraged and resisting me with all their strength, just in time they can deal with my products of repeated Venomization. I only need to wait and extract the malevolence. The dead soldiers can still be snacks of this dragon. "
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yy2vdyuqo
He looked at us a little bit jokingly and pointed out that all our actions assisted him in the end. Sure enough, the body of the unpurified dragon we defeated not only disappeared after we passed out but was captured by him. It was feeling heavy after things are told, I have a sense of disgust that I have been doing everything in vain. I feel a little angry at my inability to save them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4htlQyz5E
At this time, Mikleo patted my shoulder, I was taken aback, moved away from my emotions.
Mikleo said to me softly: "Sorey, even so, we have protected the town, and now we should protect the people who have not died."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1iwoidoh6
After I heard it, I smiled and nodded. I feel that Tartarus continues to say ironic words that are of no use to us.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OySzKeDKL
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3QE9BL4HI
"In other words, the dragon in front of you is the culmination of your hard work, and it has been so hard for you all the time. This is the end of the dream of the coexistence of the seraphim and the humans, and the humans and the seraphim are all integrated into one. Now I merged with this dragon to become the strongest existence. Thank you for your continued assistance, now die under your own efforts! "
After that, Tartarus, who is fused with the dragon, opened the mouth full of sharp teeth to us. A red light gathered in the mouth.
"I feel a strong power is concentrating, everyone, be careful!"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpbpibp6Jt
I quickly led my companions to run back, avoiding attacks and staying in such a narrow place to fight is really unfavorable.
He shows off his power like a warning, Dragon Flame sweeping by, the stone next to us was instantly turned to ashes by the high heat breath.

In the communication device, Rose said to me: "Go to the top floor, Sorey. I will do my best to assist you."
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ9c1GZIQ4
“Thank you, I will count on you."
The whole building was shaking under the attack of the dragon, and it was not surprising that it was destroyed in the next second. There is no way back and no other choice. Only going forward is the right thing. We are even confused about how to pull Velvet out. There is no time. Reality tells me that I can only fight against this dragon.
If the responsibility of forming pact with Lailah again to become the Shepherd is to solve the contemporary Lord of Calamity, then my responsibility now is to defeat Tartarus and this evil dragon that is equivalent to disaster. But at the same time, I want to protect Velvet, the person who bears her own grief and sins and carries the accusations that are added, and who is always stubborn and unstoppable. That person once said that she didn't want us to meet up with the storm, she originally planned to avoid this crisis, because she didn't want us to die in it, but in the end, no one could escape from this storm.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYUl3xPLTM
She didn't want to live at that time but wanted us to live, so she moved forward to the storm, and now she is in the middle of the storm of calamity.
I want to find her at the center of the wind eye... After we have wished together….to take a good look at the new world... We must go back together...

I let all the seraphim into my body, I prayed for Velvet’s safety all the way, ignoring all the attacks from behind, and rushed to the top floor. Just as I reached the top floor, a light and shadow hit me. I had no time to block it, and closed my eyes reflexively, but did not feel any pain. So I slowly opened my eyes and saw the sight in front of me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDa7tK0kLB
"Oh, Shepherd, I have been waiting for you for a long time," the familiar female seraph said in a relaxed tone, and the strong light and shadow cast around her and on the surface of the building, the color became strange.
Behind me, there is a plasma ball collision sound. When I turned my head and looked around, I realized that there was a huge protective shield behind me that blocked the attack from the evil dragon. A lot of explosions and shocks occurred when the two energies collided, and the scene was covered by light again.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiypGvApf3t
When it returned to normal, it was already halfway through the destruction of the foothold. This is his current destructive power. It is huge. The shadow is covering the place where I am, and above it is a giant dragon with open wings and staying in the sky.
Unlike when I saw it in the floor hole, now I can see its body completely, which is much larger than mine. A creature that is hundreds of times larger, its head alone is enough to swallow dozens of people in one bite. The body is hundreds of meters long, which can easily cover the sky above our head.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLEHeYqNEH
On its back, it has pure white hair like a snow fox. Coupled with the dragon eyes that are as clear as the lake, it can't help but feel a little sacred, but there is all malevolence covered.

It was angry, and at the same time roared like a scream, like a cry of gathering all the resentful souls. At the same time, the two huge dragon wings flapped to evoke a huge wind blowing on us, and the huge pressure immediately made us unable to move. And the light of magic power is gathering on the dragon's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there is a strong gathering in the throat. Guanghui.

".... it is more powerful energy than just now…!!" Seeing the attack come at any time, I intuitively feel that there is no place to hide here. Tartarus intends to destroy the entire building together with us. From here- ---Falling at a height of 30,000 meters above the ground will only end with death.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl1BMfL3rX
"I can’t do anything to this, haha." Ophelia smiled as if given up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg6FM9EqvZ
"It's not the time to laugh, right? Mikleo, do you think we can resist this kind of attack with that trick?"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs5cNJuU9L
An attack that can't be avoided can only be blocked frontally. There is only one trick in my mind that can do this kind of thing.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oOWJLvsZF
". I think about it, under this kind of intensity difference, it may be like glass, better than no defense.
"...In any case, please, Luzrov Rulay. "
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLAjpE4L8s
The energy from the dragon's mouth turned into flames and breathing out, I can feel the heat from a distance. That is exactly the flame that will burn us to ash.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmINXvb4HL3
"Maelstrom!"
I am using the power of the water armatus to cast a huge water vortex around us, the dragon’s breath full of power directly crashes on the vortex. The flame hits the water curtain that is incompatible with its attributes. However, its counter Reciprocity is not performed as ‘fire is weak to water’, the flame shows no weakness against the water curtain of the vortex. On the contrary, our water curtain is constantly evaporated by huge heat, and we are under the high-temperature mist formed by the evaporation of water. It’s almost steamed, but I don’t have the energy to cast another spell at the same time.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB3TSiEtQc
"We are certainly the S-team steamed by the steam," Lailah stated, making a no joke thing reported in her way.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz17l2pwhq
"Lailah, that doesn't help cool down the environment," Edna stated bored and cast the water-elemental arte she had in hand.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEDiAoJ14s
"Blizzard Field!"
Suddenly the Bizzard raged on the field, forming a transparent wall to shield the field from the fire breath of the dragon. The blizzard cooled down the field a bit, at least we are not burnt.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i864G58jG
I turned my head towards Alpha, confused, I want to ask for an explanation but surely this isn't the right time.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2DPuXy7Ja
“I am just using the technique from my origin--- Altorius, in the past, exorcists are able to perform simple seraphic artes as well." He understood my confusion and answer.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACMNXkHdvj
"I am glad that you regain your self-S-Team and coped with your identity, Alpha," Lailah said, the pun hid so well and no one even notice that
.
"Yeah, I understand what I should do now," Alpha answered.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qpjwvgEUB
"By the way, the self-S-Team was actually formed from the word self and S-team."
"I prefer not understanding this though!" Alpha facepalmed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrVLFJhMMO
"Strengthen. Arte strength freeze." Normin Eternal also cast his blessing over our arte, seemingly strengthening our seraphic artes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbvoGXoV0J
“That should be enough for a while, prepare for the counterattack.” The normin stated.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdbNXmbn0e
I nodded and converged my mana for the next attack, I didn't see the target in the stream and smoke so I guess I will just aim where the flame comes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVDQZXuiU0
“My bow is the heavens!” I converged the mana as fast as I could. All of a sudden, the airflow in the field is changed by my act, calling a whirlwind surrounding us. The mana is making the wind visible and I see how much mana is concentrated in the arrow clearly.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kiufW8L2
As the large flow of mana converging at the point of the arrow is making the arrow of mana irregular, I eventually stabilize the mana to make it sharp enough to lead its way throughout the maelstrom and the flame….or let the vortex becomes one with the arrow.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdU3GDWGVH
“Guys, please lend me your power, all mana onto the arrow!"
I didn’t turn back but felt the mana arrow become stronger several times.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7SWd481FK
"Alright, Alright, I will help, President," It appears that Ophelia also helps out as Rose bothering her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiYQxSppAS
Then several seraph glyphs array like a rail and my bow artifact turned into a giant crossbow with the arrow turned into triple lance-like arrows.
I released the arrows towards the end of the flame light, as the arrows passed through each seraphic glyph, they accelerated and boosted up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnzuTwCNDT
“The vortex swallows you! Aqua Limit-Maelstrom booster edition!"
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRstTW5tEpb
The triple lances pulled the vortex together towards the dragon, when the Maelstrom guided and decomposed the flame around with the twisting and open up a clear rail for the lances, the lances eventually shot right at the dragon’s jaw.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiPZTIOm3e
After being hit, the dragon twisted its neck and body as if it felt severe pain, and flames were spurted randomly everywhere.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaCbcB5vRv
The rain of fireballs fell everywhere, all around us turned into a sea of flames, and the high temperature turned all around us into an environment of purgatory, and even a foothold could not be guaranteed to be safe. Edna’s ‘Barrier’ and Alpha’s arte worked together to block away the flames that were supposed to fall on our heads.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYTRpVNxmH
After the pain passed, replaced by full of anger, the dragon roared in anger and flapped its wings vigorously. The surrounding clouds were blown away in an instant.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XiPqXgIWu
"annoying Ant!"
The sharp wind blade flew in with its curse, and directly cut away the flames around us, instantly scratching me with blood marks on us.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A01Mk2QNV
"This time you must be burnt into charcoal! Phoenix's feathers. "
Then the flames sprayed out from his nostrils, gradually covering the whole body of the dragon, forming a coat of flames. It stayed in the air like a drill bit rotating on its own, and the flames along with it formed. A scorching outer layer swooped down from high above, like a huge fireball.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqDBCEhCVB
The offensive posture made it feel like nothing could stop him, and I lonely sent another arrow.
" Azure Assault! "
The twelve arrows separated first, and finally marched towards the dragon in the same place, but evaporated in an instant, and the dive offensive did not weaken a little.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNM3qigmug
"Hephsin Yulind! Rocks of protection! Monolithic Current"
A series of huge stone steles from the ground rose up and became a wall to resist the attack, trying to stop the dragon.
But when the dragon swooped into the huge stone stele with its huge and sharp sword horns, one, two, three... The stone tablets fell one after another, but Alpha, who armatized with Edna, did not intend to give up. He continued to erect the stone tablets from the ground, not only in front of the dragon but also under the dragon. His efforts succeeded in making the dragon swoop away, leaving the original track.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQEZgdmNhf
Alpha's eyes are very determined to defeat the enemy in front of him, ignore the difference in power, ignore the rational considerations, and just want to achieve the purpose of being here. That resolutely only looks at the target. The scorching eyes look like that stubborn person. The Velvet I saw in the battle also has the same sharpness in eyes like a sword and the burning eyes like a fire. It makes me feel relieved to see that Alpha is no longer as decadent as the original one. I guess we changed this kid to grow up in a good direction.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRCJ4mC2v3
I can't lose to Alpha, because I also promised Edna to go into the dragon and pull Velvet back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan9qWI9fpv
"Open the way forth! Binding Vortex!"
I evoke every stone stele with a Blue crest surrounding, a huge column of water surrounding the stele and rose. The dragon dived and finally ran off the track in other directions. The water column and the fire on the dragon's body generated steam, hiding our position.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGRv2oVQvN
"It's really hard work, amazing. Kid, you deserve to be the Shepherd Velvet likes. I'll help you seriously, after all, it's a life and death battle." Ophelia, who was standing idle, came out and said. Her words kinda made me embarrassed but great to hear that she is helping.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxHD1OyIyZ
"Rose, are you ready for you too?" Ophelia seems to be communicating with Rose.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPuBTkxxnr
"...Okay, be proud of the time you have bought. Sprit releases, teleportation unfolding."
Just like the scene when Maotelus fired the magical cannon, everything around was surrounded by light. After the steam and white light dissipated, it came to a sense that we were still on the battlefield just now, but the air felt a little change, a sense of ambition and excitement.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AI1S5bn0g
The inspiring golden arrow flew in the sky, They shot at the dragon in piles, it seems that there are lights in the distance from the source, it seems to be the familiar city we are guarding.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqKmpKhoSt
"Let's shoot the arrows, and use our treasure to tell this arrogant guy that we are not good to bully. Stand up and show our perseverance!" Alisha ordered from afar, it was a voice coming through communication. That voice is enough to evoke brave and ambition inside the heart of soldiers on the field.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9R9EP9ao
We are now maybe still some distance from the ground, but it is within the scope of the attack of Magiland.
Now the greatness of the dragon makes it like a moving target, most of the arrows can hit it, but those arrows will not cause much harm to it.
The rain of light arrows kept shooting on the dragon, regardless of whether it caused effective damage.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWgFICROon
"Return VELVET!" Maotelus roared. He seemed to know that Velvet was swallowed by the dragon, and he was using his Empyrean’s power to directly attack the dragon. He said that he could not fight directly because of the oath, but it seems that he has chosen to give up keeping the oath.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdjZ9imS0M
At the same time, multiple magic circles appeared in the sky and the sea, and the lights of mana were gathering in the array. Ready to go, the dragon seemed to be stuck in the air by something. The mana power was then launched together, and the dragon was submerged in the light.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJIXWzREnI
"Maotelus's attack is really heavy, and he really didn't care about the rebound after breaking the oath. "The Ophelia next to me said so but was not surprised.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0PsigRvwO
"Oh, what is it doing suddenly? Funny Acting?" Rose seemed to be surprised in the communication channel after seeing the dragon's movements on her side.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KFbX0VfZ0
The movement of the dragon suddenly became strange. There was no enemy but he twisted his body and flew around in the sky, flying irregularly in the air. Sometimes he suddenly twisted towards us in strange places and rushed towards us, sometimes he wanted to attack us. Strangely twisted in other directions, and then his tail waved here again. All his actions were so irregular that he could not predict his actions, and he could only rely on instant reaction to avoid those random attacks.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomKLDNoz8n
This kind of action was like it had eaten something wrong and now it feels a stomachache that keeps it twisting.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY0LVXtmOC
Wait, "eating something wrong"...it can not be….?
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNvP04AlJC
"Hehe, it seems that Velvet finally woke up inside, then Everyone, my mission has been completed, and I am going back again, BYE~" Ophelia left and disappeared to nowhere. She seemed to just come and teleport the whole place to the vicinity of Magiland. She has never been fighting side by side with us.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GjnbW6eJH
After one person left, another person arrived.
"Did Velvet start to make a big fuss there?" A familiar voice came from behind, and Zaveid walked forward casually.
"ZAVEID? Where did you go?" Lailah asked in a puzzled way.
"Go and settle the last refugees. I came back as soon as possible, so forgive me for coming back too late." He scratched his head and explained his faults.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOvfwaJQjt
Regarding where he went, regarding the refugees, these are all my lack of knowledge in their plan but we don’t have time to ask. All I know is that he tried his best to come back here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4XRK4d6WE
“Although I would like some whining, we don’t have time,” Edna answered with some whining behind as if she knew what did he do yet not able to explain it now.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rBTln7SS7
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CavIZzHzD
“Welcome back, Zaveid.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSFI9CjvRG
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VQChxfFB1
“We don’t know how this status last…..If you have something wanna try, it is now, no next chance.” Zaveid watched the weird dragon and suggested.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfwWG7mzvI
“Alright, then I think it is the time we use the Full Armatization.”
It was the last action to take as it caused a great loss of body strength but at the same time provided a very strong force to attack. It was the strongest trump card so I decide to use it when the enemy now can’t move freely with its own will.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua0HkxQMd6
“Are you counting all on this? I won’t object that.” Zaveid said.
“Let’s go, take me into that dragon to drag that idiot out.” Edna parted from the armatization with Alpha and walked towards me, smiled confidently, expressed her whole trust.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu8eHWMx1g
“If no one disagrees, let’s do it, it is the best moment.” Lailah agreed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDIH25ZD8y
“Do it as you wish, but don’t overwork yourself,” Mikleo added.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSJqqWvdgs
“Yeah, since I would bring back Velvet, I won’t fall down until then.”
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJaUZ5wrhr
4 seraphim then turned into light particles and turn into one with my body, the clothes on me turned into the clothing of armatization with the hero style cape, the huge executioner's sword appeared in my hand with colorful rays.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN8i8TSn6X
I condense my mana on the great sword, I will cut away the malevolence, and wave my faith.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhZnQT22Ol
I want to settle your sins and liberate the grievances imprisoned here.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XJ9LR6Tqx
I injected my belief in saving the common people into this blow,
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf68lLi8PA
I injected the memory of my redemption into this blow,
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqlzWPJJFy
I put all the bonds in this blow,
I injected my dreams into this blow,
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSpLXSUiZ
I entrust everything that I have in my life to this blow.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ1G9vmx3j
The agitation of the sword is the hope for the future and the will to save, and the pure faith pledges to live the future we hope for together.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYR1XwcplP
The sword body emits a dazzling and scorching light like the sun, as if it can purify all malevolence.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhni75sO72p
With all my strength and consciousness, I swing a sword with all my strength at the dragon twisting in the air.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wvDi3w2zp
The giant sword slashed down on the dragon's chest with the burning mana. The hard dragon scales finally failed to prevent the attack. The slash successfully opened a huge wound on the dragon's body, causing the dragon to emit a huge and miserable scream.
I didn't let go of the next moment, the moment the sword left the dragon's body, I immediately twisted the posture and turned into a sword stab, allowing the giant sword to be inserted into the dragon's body.
"Burn!"
Under my command, the purifying flame erupted with the mana explosion, and the purifying flame covered the whole body of the dragon in the next second, while the dragon was still screaming.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq4lCFGB9H
"storm!"
I attacked one after another so that the opponent did not have a chance to breathe.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGuBIfjD4H
"Gravitational star!"
All the nearby stones were drawn by the mana of my earth and hit the dragon with heavy blows.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaCaMtbuVN
Then I returned to the floating island in the air and stopped attacking because I felt that this was the limit, the power of my body was losing every minute and every second, and then the state of full armatization was dismissed.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjn28haOJZ
The four seraphim flew out of my body, and I half-kneeled on the ground and looked at the silent dragon. It seemed that there would be no new movements.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbnRE4CqVa
"This is the limit, it can't be used anymore." Mikleo warned me, not allowing me to continue to force myself.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNBUUN5yXX
"I understand that this battle is for survival," I answered.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIesorBBicd
"You said the same thing as Velvet, you better do it." Edna stared at me and said.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0eqrasheD
"Of course, if I die, I won't be able to bring her back, now go in with me to find her, Edna." After I realized what Edna wanted to do, I stood up again and reached out to Edna.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3OLd5jYU4
"Edna, please take care of Sorey for me." Mikleo knows that Edna will not back down in this, she will follow me to enter the dragon, and he decided to ask her solemnly.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtcxZT9oHr
"That is for sure." Edna nodded to Mikleo.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMFM5XW6vj
"Then we and Alpha will stay outside and fight the dragon, please come back soon, Sorey-san." Lailah said.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuTcohMLL
I made an affirmative sound and jumped into the dragon's body from the dragon's wound while armatized with Edna.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKarWRTaHU

A.N.
It took me so long to write it, I am sorry. I wrote a lot of battle but still spending so much time thinking of each battle, not repeating and being exciting. I wrote the battle with the dragon before but I study the dragon again in this chapter to express its absolute strength. I shall say I really not good at writing battles and I definitely don’t wanna write so many battles if this story has a second season.
However, I’m pretty sure what is left here…..80% of battles…...hahaha….what the hell…...
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkoTDyoV6B
I was writing Velvet’s situation in the latter part, but that turns out to be so long and I am pretty sure people don’t like to see such a long chapter and battle even if the battle is starting to be similar to One Piece be fighting like continuous chapters.
In the end, I only post Sorey’s and Edna’s part in this chapter.
