It was as if her faith had been shattered. Akame spoke in disbelief.
Ruonan, who had once freely discussed the future with them in Night Raid, how had he become like this?
Just when everyone had been looking forward to the beauty of that future, the one they had placed their hopes in had fallen onto the other side.
"Those words don't apply to transmigrators."
As Akame staggered back a few steps, she fell into a warm embrace.
"!"
Feeling the touch behind her, Akame's pupils shrank. She flashed away in a leap, landing to the side and raising the katana in her hand as she warily watched the four people emerge from the dimensional passage.
"Who are you?!"
"Hello, Akame-chan." Ling Yuan smiled and waved at Akame.
"Group Owner, please don't be so frivolous, or I'll cut you down."
Seeing her sister being harassed, Black Pupil raised Yatsufusa and stared at Ling Yuan's lower body, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.
Ling Yuan: "..."
You hypocrite.
Please, don't let the book sit!
Everyone, don't let it sit! Keeping up with the latest chapters is what motivates an author to keep writing. So many books that seem promising end up abandoned because readers let them sit.
If you leave it unread, there will be no follow-up reading. Without follow-up reading, there will be no recommendations. Without recommendations, the book cannot gain exposure. Without exposure, there will be no subscriptions, and its release will be bleak.
Authors need to eat too. If there are no subscriptions after release, there's simply no motivation to keep writing. So please, brothers and sisters, don't let it sit!
!!I'm begging you, just open the newest chapter and take a look every day.
Use Your Imagination, It's the Deadliest Thing.
Stupid little sister. Ling Yuan grumbled inwardly.
She wouldn't even let him have a little fun with her sister. How stingy.
"The one we need to deal with is that guy, right?"
Hongyan raised his head and looked at the two colossal figures in the distance, his expression calm and unruffled.
It was as though nothing in the world could stir even the slightest ripple in his eyes.
Following Hongyan's gaze, Laxus raised a brow. "Judging by the height alone, it's probably over a hundred meters."
"Who are you people?! Are you with the Imperial Army?"
Akame gripped Muramasa tightly and warily watched Ling Yun and the others.
Seeing Black Pupil slowly walking toward Ling Yun's group, she hurriedly called out, "Black Pupil, don't go over there."
Black Pupil glanced at Akame but ignored her. She walked over to Ling Yun and the others on her own, gently resting Yatsufusa against the ground.
Looking at Susanoo and the Supreme Throne in the distance, she raised a brow. "Are you confident against something like that?"
"Don't worry. Since I dared to come, I naturally have some ability. No matter what, I'm still the Group Owner. Protecting group members is my duty."
As he spoke, Ling Yun looked at Laxus. "Laxus."
"?"
Laxus turned his head.
Ling Yun placed one hand on his shoulder.
The next second—
Laxus's indifferent expression abruptly changed.
"What is this?" He looked at his body with slight disbelief.
Irregular patterns resembling lightning streaks appeared around Laxus's pupils and along his arms.
"Dragon Force. It's only temporary."
Meeting Laxus's astonished gaze, Ling Yun smiled faintly.
By using powerful energy to stimulate the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal, he temporarily unleashed all of its magic power.
"But I believe that after experiencing this feeling, you'll soon be able to master this power."
Laxus gave Ling Yun a deep look, then suddenly uttered two words. "Thank you."
"It's nothing. We help each other. Just as you were willing to help Katarina, I'm willing to help you." Ling Yun chuckled.
Then he looked at Hongyan, pulled a fiery red diamond-shaped crystal from his robe, and tossed it to him. "Hongyan, take this."
Hongyan instinctively reached out. When he caught the object Ling Yun had thrown, surprise appeared in his eyes.
"The energy inside can let you use Great Magic ten times in a row, but after ten uses, you'll need to be careful," Ling Yun reminded him.
"Understood." Hongyan nodded lightly.
"Cecilia."
"I'm here!"
Cecilia, who had been spacing out, quickly came back to her senses.
Ling Yuan reached out and rubbed Cecilia's head, then patted her slightly stiff back.
"Take a deep breath. Don't be too nervous. Just treat it like subjugating a large Honkai Beast."
"Yes!"
Cecilia took a deep breath and calmed herself.
Two breaths later, Cecilia suddenly opened her eyes and tightly gripped Black Abyss White Flower. "Lord Ling Yun, I'm fine now."
"That's good."
Ling Yun nodded at Cecilia, then turned to look at the two enormous figures in the distance and said to everyone, "Susanoo is highly mobile, and the enemy has many unknown abilities. Everyone, be careful, especially of those eyes."
"I can't wait to test this power."
A proud smile curled at Laxus's lips as lightning exploded in his palm.
Hongyan expressionlessly drew his sword from his waist.
Cecilia tightened her grip on Black Abyss White Flower.
Slowly drawing Yatsufusa from its sheath, Black Pupil's calm voice rang out. "Although I can't break through its defenses, I can still help you clear out some pests."
She knew her own strength. Human power was limited in the end, so Black Pupil did not choose to force her way into the spotlight.
"Much appreciated. Too many pests are indeed troublesome." Laxus chuckled.
This kind of battle where they entrusted their backs to one another was pretty good too.
"Wait, what are you planning to do?" At that moment, Akame, who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer hold back.
Hongyan gave Akame a brief glance, then, without pausing, recited the incantation of the Magi.
"O spirit of terror and meditation, I command you and your kin."
"Wrap around my body, dwell within my body, and transform me into a colossal Magi."
"Astaroth!"
In an instant, Hongyan entered Full Body Magic Armor. The gemstone Ling Yun had given him earlier was now embedded in his chest.
It continuously provided him with energy.
This was the Imperial Capital, a densely populated place. He could not forcibly stimulate the earth veins through Agares to create magma for energy.
The gemstone Ling Yun had given him solved a major problem.
"Come forth, Belleronus!"
Ling Yun shouted softly.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar rang out.
Flames swept through the air around the five of them, and the terrifying shockwave sent Akame flying.
The dragon's roar sounded again as the flames suddenly contracted sharply!
Endless flames flowed into a pair of orange wings like rivers pouring into the sea.
When the flames completely vanished, an incomparably enormous pure white dragon appeared before Akame.
"That is...!"
With her long blade braced against the ground and one knee lowered, Akame stared in shock at the immaculate white dragon before her.
"Big Sister, just stay here and watch carefully. I'll prove that your choice was wrong all along." Black Pupil glanced at Akame, who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly raised Yatsufusa.
The next moment, under Akame's stunned gaze, Belleronus flapped her wings. Hot wind spread outward, and trailing orange-red arcs of light, she shot into the sky!
From within the clouds came a soaring dragon's roar that echoed throughout the Imperial Capital.
At that moment, everyone could not help stopping what they were doing and looking up.
Ruonan turned around in curiosity as well, but the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Staring fixedly at the approaching giant dragon as though he had seen something unimaginable, he cried out in horror, "Belleronus?!"
Elsewhere—
Ein, the pink twin-tailed girl, frowned. "A Danger Beast I've never seen before, but why would it appear at a time like this..."
"Did the battle in the Imperial Capital wake it up?" Lubbock asked.
Clearly, everyone else had imagined Bella to be an undiscovered Super Danger Beast.
"Bella, take that emperor out of the battlefield. Him staying there is too much of an obstruction," Ling Yun said to Bella from atop the dragon's back.
Belleronus gave a soft cry. Under everyone's stunned gazes, she flapped her wings and reached her dragon claws downward.
With lightning speed, she grabbed the Supreme Throne by the shoulder. Flapping her wings, she actually lifted it directly into the air.
"Don't even think about it!"
Ruonan snapped out of his shock and shouted.
The wings on the Complete Body Susanoo's back spread open.
Just as it was about to give chase—
A massive Octagram magic circle appeared before it.
Looking closely, it was actually a human man with a white fire dragon coiled around his shoulders?!
"Heh~"
Facing Susanoo head-on, Hongyan showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, an interested smile appeared on his face.
"Great Magic."
"White Flash Purgatory Dragon Dive!"
"Roar!"
The Octagram behind Ren Kouen burst with light, and a fire dragon formed from white flames, shaped like a serpent, lunged toward Ruonan.
Instinctively, Ruonan controlled Susanoo to block with both hands.
But the white fire dragon did not follow convention. It wrapped directly around Susanoo's body.
It burned without end, just like Amaterasu. Without its master's command, it would continue burning forever.
The fire dragon wrapped around it continuously eroded his Susanoo.
His chakra was constantly being consumed.
He was not like Ling Yun, who had possessed infinite energy from the start. Everything he had now was the limited chakra he had cultivated during his time since transmigrating.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar!"
