A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 119: Chapter 101: Destruction Thunderbolt_2

Indeed, it’s convenient to have a mage around.

Duanmu Huai silently nodded as he watched Ann, under the protection of Lorena and Greiya, unleash her firepower freely. Without Ann, they could still fight, but it would undoubtedly be more uncomfortable. After all, most of them, including Duanmu Huai himself, could only attack at close and medium range. There were none like the mage with the capability of launching long-range attacks.

However, Duanmu Huai himself had also learned some magic now.

Even though Duanmu Huai and others had indeed caused significant casualties among the dragons, they were hopelessly outnumbered. Despite Duanmu Huai summoning numerous creatures to fight alongside the Sacred Knights, the overwhelming strength of the dragons quickly tore apart the ranks of the knights. Soon, one by one, the Sacred Knights and creatures were wiped out by the dragons’ surprise attacks. In no time, the Sacred Knights and creatures around Duanmu Huai were almost entirely annihilated.

Yet, the dragons still ruled the sky.

“Sir Knight, what do we do next?”

Looking at the swarm of dragons around them, a worried Lorena asked. At this point, Ann was panting heavily and utterly exhausted. Although she was the most powerful mage in Manaria, she was still just a girl, and the long-term release of powerful magic was incredibly strenuous for her.

“It’s about time.”

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Huai seemed rather casual considering the anxiety of the others. He silently glanced at his target, then extended his hand.

First, summon Sky City to the battlefield!

A flash of brilliance.

Before long, everyone saw a city suddenly appear atop the clouds, floating in the sky. Bathed in sunlight, it exuded a golden glow, resembling the city of heaven itself. The appearance of this city surprised the dragons, who paused, hesitantly gazing at the Sky City that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

However, for Duanmu Huai, this was just the beginning.

Next, summon the Divine Relic!

As Duanmu Huai’s finger pointed, the card disappeared, and something enormous, like a turret, appeared in front of Sky City. It looked like a beautifully carved trident lying horizontally. The brilliant magic light, shimmering from the blue sphere at its center, emitted dazzling rays. Runes began to orbit the core as a considerable amount of energy started to concentrate.

Divine Relic (Legendary)

Entrance Song: Inflict damage on all enemy servants equal to the number of Creation Cards destroyed in this battle.

It was time.

Looking at the number of destroyed Creation Cards in the graveyard, the corners of Duanmu Huai’s mouth lifted slightly. Then… be gone!!

In the next instant, brilliant lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the entire world.

No one knew what had happened, the dazzling lightning was so bright it turned the whole world snow white, its deafening roar drowned out all other sounds. The girls screamed, covering their ears and closing their eyes to escape the awe-inspiring spectacle.

After what seemed like an eternity, they slowly opened their eyes and looked around.

The girls stared in astonishment.

The horde of dragons that had almost filled the sky moments ago were now completely gone. The sky had been thoroughly cleansed and looked incredibly clear.

On the ground, countless charred bodies were smoking, so horribly mangled that their original appearance could not be recognized.

“Hmm, not bad. Everything went smoothly as planned,”

Duanmu Huai said, looking satisfied at the battlefield below, ignoring the girls’ pale faces. In fact, for Duanmu Huai, such a battlefield was nothing. Compared to the wars with the Evil God and Alien Race, where stars and even galaxies were at stake, a few hundred Evil Dragons didn’t concern him much.

On the other hand, Ann and Greiya looked pale while Lorena closed her eyes and prayed with her hands tightly clasped. Even Felin, who usually remained composed, tightly held the fairy in her arms, remaining silent.

Ogis remained as unchanging as ever.

“Has it ended, Master?”

“Certainly not, this is just the beginning, we still have to deal with Fafner.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai guided the Metal Secret Dragon to land on the ground, arriving at the volcano’s mouth —— the guards here had already been carbonized by the previous lightning strike, and Duanmu Huai barely glanced at these unlucky fellows as he strode right in.

However…….

“No one??”

In the enormous nest, piles of gold coins, various treasures, even artworks, weapons and such could be seen everywhere. However, in this nest as large as several football fields, the only thing missing was the BOSS who should have been here.

What’s going on?

Duanmu Huai scratched his head. He had come all this way to find the BOSS, who wasn’t home?

Could it be that he was also on vacation?

Huh?

Just then, Duanmu Huai heard a voice. He stretched out his hand and grabbed toward the direction of the voice. The next moment, a dragon beast was pulled out from the pile of gold coins and landed directly into Duanmu Huai’s hands.

“N-No, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me, ahhhh!!!”

The dragon beast was shaking in fear as it looked at Duanmu Huai. Apparently, it had witnessed Duanmu Huai wiping out the Evil Dragon Legion. If it hadn’t slipped back into the nest, it might have ended up like its companions outside, turned into blackened charcoal.

“Where is Fafner?”

Duanmu Huai stared at the trembling dragon beast and asked.

“This is Fafner’s nest, isn’t it? Where did it go?”

“Mr. Fafner is not here ……. He went to Manaria ….”

“What?!!”

Upon hearing this, Ann, who had been propped up by Greiya and could barely stand, suddenly exclaimed. She quickly approached the dragon beast, looking at it.

“Why did Fafner go to Manaria?”

“I heard, heard that King Regnes planned to go to Manaria to discuss the matter of defeating Lord Fafner. Lord Fafner thought it was a good opportunity to completely crush Regnes and Manaria ….”

“I see.”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood. He hadn’t summoned Sky City earlier for the same reason, to lure Fafner out and then use the Divine Relic. However, Fafner had not appeared, and Duanmu Huai had thought there must be some cunning plan involved —— who would have thought he had simply gone out.

Indeed, this was also because of Ann and Greiya. After learning that their daughters had gone to exterminate Fafner, the kings of the two nations couldn’t sit still. Despite many issues, they decided to assemble a punitive force as quickly as possible, head to the Northern Land to eradicate the Evil Dragon, and coincidentally search for the two princesses.

Well, some people just won’t move unless their eyebrows are on fire.

But right now, Ann was clearly not worried about these things. She hastily grabbed Duanmu Huai.

“Mr. Knight! We must rush back to Manaria immediately!!”
