"The atmosphere here is really depressing."
Himejima Akeno spoke softly as she stepped out of the magic circle, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings.
"But I think we've come to the right place."
"Indeed."
Rias nodded
"We must proceed with caution; deadly threats may lurk in every corner of this place."
The kitten in the tower became more alert, her eyes fixed on the movements around her.
"They're coming... There are many strange creatures approaching!"
After the kitten's warning, rustling sounds came from the surrounding trees.
next moment--
The monsters that made this noise have appeared!
Giant crawling bats, winged pythons, and humanoid monsters covered in rotting flesh and blood.
Then--
They were all instantly killed.
No surprises.
Rias's spear, Yukino's summoned spirit cat, and Ais's sword technique, like bulldozers, destroyed everything in their path.
However, after the first wave ended, the second wave quickly followed.
The things that entertained them changed from the spears and swords they had just encountered to the lightning released by Zhu Nai, the nothingness that Mai cut through everything, and the merciless fist of destruction from the kitten.
"There's still a large area ahead!"
After Asia finished speaking
"Leave this to me!"
Before the girl could finish speaking, a dazzling light descended from the sky, completely purifying the monsters in the entire area!
As a result, the subsequent progress became very smooth.
"Looks like everyone's warmed up."
"Warming up...is that why you didn't stop at the edge of the central barrier of Dragon Valley?"
When Ais heard Rias say that, she couldn't help but ask in return.
Nodding in confirmation, Rias walked directly towards the barrier ahead.
The wind spirit, one of the six great immortals, sealed the black dragon within the barrier it created.
"I wonder how those who went on expeditions against the Black Dragon in the past managed to get past this barrier specifically designed for the Black Dragon..."
Ais looked puzzled.
Rias smiled and said
"I don't know either, so let's just destroy it." (Read thrilling novels on Feilu Novel Network!)
"destroy?"
"That's why Lord Baili gave me a portion of new power."
After Rias finished speaking, she walked straight towards the barrier and raised the spear she was holding.
Everyone sensed a high concentration of destiny power beginning to condense on the surface of the weapon.
then--
boom! ! !
The girls saw Rias throw the spear!
The moment the spear tip pierced the wind barrier, the entire seal collapsed!
It was devoured by the chaotic forces of destiny and ultimately destroyed.
"what?!"
Seeing Rias's brutal actions, Ais, who usually doesn't show much emotion, became nervous.
boom! !
Another explosion.
The barrier sealing the black dragon shattered, and the colossal creature in the central area awakened!
"Roar--!!!!"
The dragon's roar echoed through the valley like thunder, reverberating throughout the entire Dragon Valley.
The earth itself trembled as a result!
The girls saw, in the center of the rushing air currents and behind the billowing dust, a gigantic dragon silhouette spreading its enormous wings!
boom!
Its outstretched wings suddenly flapped.
A violent wind then swept across the scene!
Dust, gravel, fallen leaves, grass, branches, and... bones, equipment, weapons.
The adventurers who were defeated here have left their marks;
The barrier, ravaged by time, was in complete chaos both inside and out.
The girls' clothes fluttered as they steadied themselves amidst the terrifying air currents, staring at the world's strongest dragon.
As the view became clearer, the black dragon's enormous body was fully revealed.
Its body, covered in hard scales, exudes a suffocating pressure.
Each scale resembled a black gemstone weathered by time, shimmering with an ominous light.
The one-eyed black dragon noticed the outsider.
Without any hesitation, it opened its mouth.
The next moment, a stream of black and red flames was spewed out!
"A dragon's fire breath... Let's try to replicate it."
"Meow!"
As Yukino had the Memory Cat copy the Black Dragon's skills, an even greater amount of energy was released.
That was Rias's energy cannon, infused with the power of destiny.
It not only devoured the flames spewed by the black dragon, but also struck the black dragon directly in the neck.
An explosion followed!
Black Dragon staggered, his head thrashing, blood splattering from his wounds!
The defense that once withstood the full-force attacks of ancient heroes and the strongest adventurer team was utterly useless against Rias's moves.
Seeing this, Ais finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Wind Shadow Sword Dance!"
She activated her combat technique.
He was immediately enveloped by the wind and rushed toward the black dragon at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"I am going to kill you!"
Hearing the hateful shout, the black dragon fixed its only intact eye on the girl who was closing in.
The black dragon, no longer one to be slaughtered, flapped its wings, raised its head, and roared to the sky.
The sound waves released by the dragon's roar slowed Ais down, while responses came from different directions.
Hearing the command of the Monster King in the center of Dragon Valley, the restless monsters began to gather in the area where everyone was.
In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of monsters suddenly appeared around Dragon Valley.
Zhu Nai and the kitten watched as the monster suddenly fell, and the three-headed monster charged forward.
Haruhime was responsible for strengthening the defenses on one side, while Sakurajima Mai and Yukino provided cover. Meanwhile, Yotsuya Miko quickly locked onto the black dragon not far away.
"I see it! Wings! It's under the right wing!"
Yotsuya Miko told Rias about the weaknesses of the Honkai.
Therefore, Haruhime also applied the enhancement to Rias.
However, Ais, consumed by hatred, didn't hear any of this and swung her sword as she closed the distance.
Having just become a Destiny Walker, she neither had a large amount of Destiny Power that she could freely control, nor had she learned how to utilize it.
It is more often used as a means of high-speed movement.
"You can't do it this way."
Rias moved in front of Ais.
"We need to remain calm and then unleash our power."
With that, Rias teleported in mid-air, her spear piercing through the weak point marked by Miko, destroying the lower right wing of the black dragon's body.
[Too slow.]
"Bailijun?"
Rias heard a familiar voice.
She immediately pulled Ais away from the black dragon.
[The Black Dragon has been freed, and there's been some reaction from the dungeon. To avoid future trouble, let's deal with it first.]
"You mean..."
You can come back now.
