Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Bohum!

With a sound like something exploding, a thick fog enveloped the surroundings. The fog that envelops the darkness of night contains something ominous, but the fog itself is not toxic, and no one loses consciousness or falls apart.

And after the fog cleared ....... A woman emerges from the center of it all.

Her age is probably in her late twenties. A woman with long black hair and a high height, ....... And most of all, the power-assist machines attached to her arms and shoulders, as well as the stinging collars and bangles, told me that she was a jiryu klaxon. She would be a cyborg of a different type than Yuki.

In front of her, everyone present froze in place. This was because no one had expected the Jiryu to transform. In particular, Carina and Eve, the flying dragon Carina and Eve, who were eager to get her back, did not seem to be able to accept immediately that the woman was Klax, and although they moved their mouths, they seemed to be unable to speak.

In the midst of all this, Klax stretched out his arms and opened and closed his hands ...... as if to check his own physical condition. Then he smiled with satisfaction, then looked up at the flying dragon and opened his mouth.

''Ah, ...... power is filling up from deep inside my body. You can't experience this sensation if you just transform into a person.

That's when the flying dragon finally came to himself.

''Are you saying that you have been consumed by the thou...... power?!

'Drunk with power? Hmmm. Funny you should say that. Can you look at this--can you say you were consumed by power?

That was the moment Krax uttered that. Her figure blurred.

Immediately after--.

Zoooooooooooo!

"Yikes!

--Yuki was blown right off to the side. Yes, because her skeleton was made of metal, she was supposed to be incomparably heavier than the average woman in terms of weight.

Continuing on, this time--.

Boom!

What?

--the wise man is blown away. Perhaps because he was light in weight to begin with, he hits the ground and the walls of buildings like a ball and bounces repeatedly, before he is buried ...... in the rubble. He disappears from sight.

Before such an unexpected event, Eve and the flying dragon were inwardly surprised. It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on a new one.

In such a situation, the action taken by the flying dragon is--.

Bohum!

-- instead of staying in his large original body, he was to transform into a small human form -- a girl, Carina. It was a poor idea to stay in a large form to deal with Klax in human form, so she decided to change into a small human form herself.

At this point, she was feeling uneasy. This was because she had never experienced fighting in human form, so she didn't know if she could fight properly. However, she couldn't let Klax realize that, so she roused her heart with only courage and stretched her little chest.

'...... how? Ex-partner. You were younger than I thought you'd be, weren't you?

'Huh? I'm not so sure about that. After all, this appearance is a false appearance. I don't think we can deny the possibility that you're older than you look.

Phew. ......

On the one hand, a seven-year-old girl. On the one hand, a glamorous woman. They were far from being a mirror image of each other, but when they get to the bottom of it, they are friends who were on the same path. The two looked at each other with murderous intent and smiles, as if they were old acquaintances and sworn enemies.

Eve was watching the situation from behind the flying dragon, and it seemed that she could easily imagine what was going to happen in the future. The result--.

No, it's not even close!

--she unexpectedly runs out and interrupts between Carina and Klax. She didn't think that a clash between Krax, who could lightly blow even Yuki away, and Karina, who was smaller than she was, would result in an outcome as far as she was concerned.

'What the hell is this guy ......'

'Maybe we shouldn't be fighting, both of us! And it might be weird to fight with you, since little Dragon could have been trying to help you!

"Hmm ...... I see. So you're my current partner ....... Ex-partner. You've found a friend in people, haven't you?

...... umm. An irreplaceable friend and mentor.

Okay. So...

And then Klax moves. She turns one mechanized hand to Eve and the flying dragon - and

You're both gone!

Doggone it!

-- from his hands, he shot out a high-density magic beam that rivaled the Dragon Breath.

At this time, Atlas seemed to have come to a position where he could see Eve and the others. And he was puzzled to see Eve and the others disappearing in the beam. Yes, bewilderment. Not surprise or regret.

After all, he had arrived at the spot a little before Eve had interrupted him with Carina and Klax. That's when he witnessed a scene there.

Just before he was swallowed by the ...... beam, Eve noticed his presence and signaled to him to stop.

Geez!

The beam that was supposed to attack Eve and the others parted into two articles. The separated beams passed just past the roof of Vixen's town hall and disappeared into the night sky.

And after the beam disappeared, standing in its place was the figure of Eve, standing in a human form with a great sword-like warding magic in her hands. It seems that she cut through the beam to get out of trouble.

Even so--.

(And I thought I was going to die?!) gibberish

-- though it wasn't so cool, and it seems to have been a way of life that he found in desperation.
