Hakoba: Opening Fusion and Reverse Izayoi

【Capital of Brilliant Flames】The Palace of the Fifth Right Wing.

Due to a major earthquake, no one in the palace could afford to fight.

The giants all knelt down one by one, the giants who could still move were retreating frantically, and the exhausted fire dragons could not fly for a long time, so they could only fall to the ground.

The eruption of an active volcano was also seen by the invaders from afar, and the giants who invaded the town retreated.

However, the object of their real fear is not the lava spilling from an active volcano.

There is an air of terror that is spreading.

Everyone can feel that the earth-shattering malice is not aimed at a specific being, but all living and non-living things within the visual range are under a curse.

The giants who could still move were retreating frantically, and it seemed that they were afraid of something.

This scene made the fire dragons who were still desperately resisting just now even more uneasy.

They weren't delighted by the Giants' retreat.

Therefore, the way the giants retreated was clearly wrong.

As intruders, they seem to be afraid of something.

In front of the front gate of the outer wall of the [City of Brilliant Flames].

Due to the eruption of an active volcano, the front stood still for a while.

It's not because everybody has received someone's orders.

Rather, it was because dragons, veteran warriors, and giants all stopped their movements together after witnessing the lava overflowing from the summit.

Even if it's a giant or an experienced monster, once swallowed by lava, there is nothing to be done, and only the big fire dragons can be safe.

As for the giants, who are besieged on both sides by the currents and lava, they have begun to disagree, and they want to evacuate.

Asuka and Kasukabe Yao, who had long since recovered, witnessed all this on the frontal battlefield.

Asuka stopped in order to see the unpredictable situation of the battle.

It was then that she noticed a change.

“？"

She felt a chill.

It wasn't because anything special had happened, it was just that there was a sudden chill running through the back. And it's not just a cold air, but an unpleasant feeling like being caressed on the back by the finger of death.

She subconsciously looked at Kasugabe Yao.

"Kasugabe ...

However, before she could finish speaking, she was stunned.

I saw that the current Kasugabe Yao's face was pale, and his body was even trembling unconsciously.

Seeing this, she hurriedly went over and patted Kasuga Yao's shoulder.

"Kasuga-san, you... Are you alright?"

"Huh!?"

Kasuga woke up from her fear in an instant, and she looked back at Asuka Kudo.

The fear in those eyes could not be concealed at all.

"Flying, flying birds... Coming, coming... Something's coming!"

Kasugabe Yao's probing nerves are extremely sharp because of the [Life Catalog].

Even Asuka, who is a human body, feels a chill, what did Kasugabe Yao perceive?

Like the birds, the Jiao Demon Kings who were fighting also looked at the active volcano.

Even Greia, who was deprived of consciousness, stopped at this moment.

His instincts told him that there was something extremely dangerous.

"What was that?"

The Jiao Demon King originally planned to use the [Host Authority] to suppress Gleia in one go, but the chill of that moment just now took away all his thoughts.

It's not a feeling of hostility, it's not oppression.

If you really want to compare it - it's like a fawn that is too sensitive to the movements of a lion.

"What's wrong... What's going on... ？"

By the time he came back to his senses, Jiao Liu's hands holding the stick were already wet with sweat.

Proud of his battle-hardened, he now intuitively feels an indescribable threat.

The Jiao Demon King closed his eyes and focused his consciousness on the active volcano, intending to explore the source of this momentum. However, the giant Lingge could no longer be found in the active volcano, so he traced its debris further.

The pressure and presence that dominates the neighborhood and the unmanifested sense of presence in—

"In the air... ！"

Kasugabe Yao and Jiao Demon King on the frontal battlefield tracked this momentum at the same time.

When it comes to detection ability, Kasuga Yao has one of the best strengths.

Kasugabe Yao, who sensed the source of the threat faster than the Jiao Demon King, looked up at the sky and stared intently. After exploring the clouds with the same eyes as nocturnal birds of prey, she didn't spend much time on the rest of the day.

Because... The culprit did not hide himself at all.

"That's... What's that!?"

In a cloudy night sky shrouded in a dense sea of clouds, a hazy moonlight looms along the gaps in the clouds. Covered by the yellow moonlight, there was a small shadow with wings.

The thing with its back to the moonlight was white all over, and it was looking down at the palace with wings that were twisted to the point that it didn't look like it had undergone normal evolution. A living dragon is not like that.

"Pure-blooded dragons don't have a system tree... But is there really a creature of that shape... ？"

The red jade eyes that light up the night sky like a fierce star.

A special-shaped triple head that is pierced by a stake from the lower jaw to the top of the head.

Three pairs of six eyeballs will completely drain the enemy's guts.

I don't feel the functionality of being a living being, nor the sense of sublime that enhances mystery.

It only makes people feel that the shape that makes all witnesses instinctively disgusted was originally intended to be feared.

Obviously, the total length is only about ten feet—but the indescribable sense of oppression of the ink is even higher than that of the strongest species.

The moment he saw this posture, the Jiao Demon King trembled with fear.

"That's... ！"

The battle of two hundred years ago came to mind.

"How, how is that possible!? I was just held back by Gleia for a moment, not even for a minute... The seal has been—"

The Jiao Demon King was annoyed by his mistake, but now was no longer the time to think about it.

The three-headed dragon stayed in the sky above the [Brilliant Flame Capital] and looked down with its six eyes.

Each head was facing in a different direction, probably to grasp the situation, and that action convinced everyone that the monster was intelligent.

After the three heads move individually and repeat the tilt of their heads a few times - the three-headed dragon expands its wings several times and begins to wave.

It seemed like an understatement of flapping of wings—but it caused the clouds that covered the moonlit night to fly away, and in an instant swept away the night tabernacle.
