398 # 398 Defeat the double-headed dragon, and the sword that revives








 From the dorsal fin-like part of the double-headed dragon, a sword-shaped object shot out towards Regingrave.
 However, the twelve crystal spheres that revolved around Regingrave like satellites flicked them all off.
 It was the Flying Manipulative Sword Fragarach, which was in a [Sphere] state. In this state, it can be used like a barrier to repel all kinds of flying tool attacks.

It's a good idea. It's time to clean up this side of things. I'm worried about Ende and the others, and the knights seem to be having trouble with it.

 The battlefield is slightly dominated by us. The lower and intermediate species are stronger than I expected, and a few of the knights are slightly outnumbered, but overall I feel like we're winning.
 It seems that both Sue's and Else and the others have been taken care of. It will be even better if they come to support the Order. I have to hurry too.
 The two-headed dragon below me opened its large mouth towards the flying Regingrave, and the light converged within it.

'Oops, I won't let that happen.

 The twelve 【Spheres 【Sphere】 that were flying were transformed into the form of two 【Assault Spears 【Lance】 and fired into the two mouths of the double-headed dragon.
 Gakk! And the two 【Assault Spear】thrusted into the throat area, the two 【Assault Spear】thrusted into the throat area, unfolded like an umbrella opening and began to rotate.
 The assault spear that went forward like a drilling drill pierced through the oral cavity of the two-headed dragon and flew out from the back of its head.
 From the jaws of the two-headed dragon, countless cracks appeared above it, and it crumbled with a rattle, dissolving with black smoke.
 But it too would soon begin to regenerate and be restored to its original state. Well, I knew that, and I broke it.

''The location of the nucleus is, and...''

 I will use my divine eye to search the body of the double-headed dragon. A chest, a stomach and a tail. Three things. It's a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible.
 Out of the returned 【Assault Spear 【Lance】, I took one of the returned 【Assault Spear】 in Regingrave's hand, and once the other one was returned to the twenty-four 【Dagger】 state.
 Then he fused them one after another into the 【Assault Spear》 in his hand, transforming it into an even bigger 【Heavy Lance】.

''Alright, let's go.''

 With the [Heavy Lance] in hand, he runs through the air towards the twin-headed dragon.
 He crashed into the front of the twin-headed dragon's chest and shattered its chest into pieces.
 As expected, it is hard. It must be more defensive than the head. The spinning [Heavy Lance [Heavy Lance]] doesn't advance easily either. This son of a b*tc*............

【Divine Authority Release】!

 Regingrave is surrounded by divine Qi. At the same time, the resistance until now disappeared and the 【Heavy Lance】 began to advance.
 Soon, a red nucleus with a diameter of about three meters hit the tip of the 【Heavy Lance】.

''Crush!''

 I accelerated the Regingrave and in one fell swoop smashed its core to pieces.
 As it was, I pierced through to the back side, changed direction 180 degrees, and charged at the twin-headed dragon again with my 【Heavy Lance】 at the ready.
 This time I aimed at the nucleus in the abdomen.
 It is a very good idea to have a good idea of what you are looking for.
 And beyond that, the large red nucleus was pierced mercilessly by a large red nucleus, and the Regingrave pierced through from the ventral side.

''This is the end.''

 Like an arrow released, Regingrave flies towards the nucleus in the rest of the tail.
 The nucleus of the tail, which was incomparably thinner than the chest and belly, was easily pierced by the 【Heavy Lance】 and the tail was shattered as well.
 All the nuclei were shattered and the twin-headed dragon crumbled with a rattle while shelving black smoke.
 A black substance like sludge was spewed onto the sandy beach, and the advanced mutant species melted into sludge like a wax doll melting.

''That wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. Let's see. To the others.
"Mr. Winter's Night! Three o'clock, mutants!

 Suddenly, at Yumina's voice, I looked in the direction indicated and saw two heavy knights, the Chevalier, struggling to be captured by a mid-grade species that looked like a sea anemone.
 The dark golden tentacles immediately swallowed the two heavy knights, the Chevalier, and took them into their bodies in the blink of an eye.

''Flora! Pilots...

 The voice flies to Flora in the 'Alchemy Building' in the emergency first aid tent set up on the sandy beach.

The two pilots on the emergency transporter escaped safely and are now here. The two pilots in the emergency transporter escaped safely and are now here.

 I was relieved to hear Flora's reply. It's often said that fighting requires sacrifice, but I still want to avoid that as much as possible.
 The one who was swallowed up is our knight member, right? You were targeted when you were supporting the other knights.
 That tentacle type can be a pretty tricky opponent.
 In order to take the lead in defeating them with the Regingrave, I once again held up my 【Heavy Lance】, but something was wrong with the Sea Anemone Intermediate Type.
 The Sea Anemone Medium has left the sandy beach and is retreating into the shallows of the ocean.
 As I was suspicious of its movement, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky behind the sea anemone and the space behind it shattered.
 The anemone disappears into the space of darkness. Then, like a rewind of recorded footage, the shattered space was replayed back to normal. Had it escaped, or had it?

What do you mean...?

 The mutant's inexplicable behavior had me unable to move for a while. A moment after that space was broken, it was as if someone was standing in the darkness........ A new mutant dominant species........?

"...there's no point in thinking about it. Let's get this fight over with now.

 The Regingrave's communication lines will be fully open.

'All the advanced mutants have been defeated! We're going into a clean-up fight now! Each of you must eradicate every last one of the enemies in front of you!
''Oh!''

 A yell rises from each knightly order. The Flame Gears, who have raised their morale, swing their swords down to the lower class species that swarmed around them.
 Eighty percent of the matter is settled. Now it's up to Ende and the others.
 I set my flying sword [Fragarach] into [Dagger] mode and sent it towards the knights who were being pushed. I'm going to be the one who is in control of the flying blade and the Fragarach, and I'm going to be the one who turns the "divine eye" into the prisons on the beach.
 It seems like you're peeking at it, but there's also the possibility of it happening if it does.
 The 【God's Eye】 captures the inside of the 【Prison】. Inside that isolated from the outside world, an anomalous battle was taking place.


          ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.


"...Leto... Lut. It's been a while.

 Mel spoke to him, but the twin ruling species only gave a thin smile.

'I thought I asked you two to assist the new 'king', what does this mean?'
"Ha. I'm not kidding about taking care of that little boy. We just wanted to have some more fun.
'That's why we agreed to cross Yura's world. Yura, Gila and Ney were seriously pursuing you, but we didn't care about that. We just didn't want to miss out on the chance to be as powerful as we wanted to be in the world we were crossing.

 Mel's thin eyebrows twitched.

'Where is this Yura now? He's pulling all the strings, isn't he?
I don't know. We don't interfere much with each other. It seems that Yura has been doing a lot of things since she got this 'golden power', but I don't know the details. And I don't need to know.

 He would not reveal his actions to these twins, who were supposed to be on his side. Mel remembered that Yura had that kind of secretive nature about him.
 In the Crystalline World of Frasier, Yura was a brilliant engineer and explorer. And, Mel had noticed, he was also an unfathomably ambitious person.
 Always thirsty and hungry. He was willing to sacrifice by any means to get what he sought, and he had no regrets. He was like an ice demon who would use whatever was available to him.

'I don't care what Yura thinks, as long as we're having fun. We just want to have fun, that's all. So? Is that all you've got to say? It's time to kill it if it's over. I thought I didn't need the former 'king's' power now, but since it's right in front of me, I'll take it.
'Touch Master Mel with one finger. I'll grind your core to smithereens.
'Don't talk about what you can't do.

 Ney stood in front of Leto, his twin eyes, revolted with rage, turned to his former compatriot, who had become a mutant.
 In response, Leto smiled thinly and crossed his arms.
 Leto's brother, Luto, stood next to him and looked at Ende in front of him.

''I let you get away with it last time. This time I'm going to kill you, Ende Muon. It would be interesting to see you die in front of the "King". I'm not sure how I'm going to kill it. It's hard to decide.
'Yeah, it bothers me too. How am I going to bang the idiot in front of me?

 In response to Rutto's provocation, Ende shrugged his shoulders as if he was making fun of him.
 As if he didn't like it, Rutto let out a low voice as he turned his swift gaze to Ende.

''What? Looks like I took a swing at you, then. Are you going a little nuts? I couldn't lift a finger against me, and I don't know how you're going to hit me.
That's right. You can't just walk up to him like this.

 Without any preliminary movements at all, Ende moves to the front of Lutfi in an instant.

'Nah...'
It's like gouging out a little bit.

 The spinning Ende's right fist exploded into Rutto's left cheek.
 Twisting his neck in a strange direction, the punched Ruto blows up and bounces off the ground several times.

''Ruto⁉︎''

 Ruto, who was blown away as he rolled over while receiving his sister's screams, crashed into the [Prison] barrier and finally stopped his movement.
 Ruto, who immediately stood up, stared at the white-haired boy who had struck him. There was a deep crack on his left cheek, but it was quickly regenerated.

''You........how dare you hit me.......!
'Don't get all hot and bothered by a beating, Lut. Anger clouds one's judgment. I've heard that disordered minds can be fatal at times. My master said that.
You're not supposed to... Who the hell do you think you are!

 At Ende's challenge, Rutto kicked the earth and charged at him. In return for the earlier one, he unleashed his own right fist to the boy with the scarf wrapped around him.
 But at the moment when that fist exploded in his face, Ende's left hand, which had been raised, was holding that fist firmly in place.

''Wha.........⁉︎''
''It's like this. Else is sharper than the one with the [Boost] applied. If I can't stop something like this, my master will scold me.

 As Ende spun around in front of the wide-eyed Rutto, a powerful backward kick stabbed him in the abdomen.

''Gofu...''

 Ruto blows backwards again. He rolls on the ground while scattering rumbling sand.

''Rutto!''

 Her sister, Leto, tries to run to Rut, but Nay and Lise block her movements.

'Get out of my way! Get out of the way!

 Leto turned his right arm into a blade in an instant, transforming it into a dark golden sword. Then he swung it down to Ney in front of him.
 It is a blade that is tinged with the divine spirit of an evil god, even if it is a hypothetical one. Nei, who is only the dominant species of Fraise, cannot accept it. If he doesn't avoid it, he will only be cut in two in half.
 But in the next moment, what Leto felt was not the feeling of slicing through the dominant species, but a brat! This was a hard resistance.
 If you look, you can see Nei holding up a single swing of his small sword, the Shortsword, and stopping his own sword arm.
 Nei grinned while catching his own sword, which had become a mutant, and smiled.


What the hell is that sword...

 Twice, three times, Leto swung his dark-gold sword down, but he couldn't cut off the white and silver sword that Nei held. As it should be, the sword Ney held was not just any sword.
 It was the twin swords of a divine weapon from the world that Ende had escaped from after being killed by the Retort sisters.
 It had been recovered by Fuyuya afterwards, but only this time, it had been loaned to the sisters of Nei and Lise.
 Even though it was a dominant species, it was still a Frase. There is a possibility of being 'preyed upon' by the mutant species Leto and Ruto. As one countermeasure, Fuyao lent the divine sword that was sleeping in his [Storage] to the two of them.
 Of course, he got permission from the gods on earth to do so.

''I've been thinking about this for a while now, but Hon, you're pissing me off, anta. The fact that you complain to us at every turn and constantly interfere with us is especially annoying.
That's odd. I didn't like you guys either. I didn't like your self-indulgence, or your lack of respect for Master Mer. We used to be compatriots, but now we are enemies. I can deal with you without reservation.
That's the part that pisses me off!

 Leto unleashes a series of dark golden sword arms.
 Even though he is handling a divine sword, his physical ability and destructive power are superior to the other side. Ney managed to catch the blade as best he could.
 However, from Leto's blind spot in the offensive, another divine sword arced out of Leto's blind spot. It brilliantly cut through Leto's sword arm and saved Ney's predicament.
 Leto's right arm, which fell to the ground, melted into sludge.

''Chi........! Well, I remember you were there too. A woman whose presence is still so weak........!

 Reto's right arm, which had retreated backwards, was regenerated in a flash.
 In front of me, Lise, who had cut off her own arm, was standing in front of me, holding a divine sword.

''Are you alright, Ney?''
Yeah. Somehow, you know. Couldn't you have gotten in earlier?
I just felt bad that you were having such a good time talking about it.
Where do I take it from there that that sounds like a pleasant conversation...?

 At her sister's words, which couldn't be taken as either serious or a joke, Nei's voice became a dumbfounded tone.
 Lise was an eccentric person ever since she was in the "Crystalline Realm [Freesia]".
 She's not a bad kid, but she acts out of character. Initially, she was on Yura's side with Ney, but before she knew it, she had gone to Ende's side.
 While Ney thought that Ende had rounded on him for his behavior, he also thought it was more likely that he had gone with him. Well, either way, he had made up his mind to hit him because the source of the incident was that frivolous man.

'Han, I guess we'll both have to deal with me. Okay. If you want to, I'll help you...!

 Mekime, Leto's body is covered in dark golden metal. A kind of sharp-edged armor is armed with arms, legs, and torso.
 Everything but the face was covered by that armor. It's like an enhanced version of the dominant species' battle mode, 'Crystal Armament'.

''Screw you.......you loser little fish! Gahhhhhh!

 When Ney and the others turned their gazes to the voice that had been heard, Ruto, who had been confronting Ende, had also begun to arm his entire body. As expected of the twins, should I say the twins?

''Let's start over. I'll kill you this time.''
I'm gonna smash the whole godd*mn core to pieces. Are you ready for this?

 Leto vs. Ney & Lise.
 Ruto vs. Ende.

 In the corner of the [Prison], the 'King' of Frase was quietly watching the battle between the two pairs.
