Chapter 174
A terrifying shockwave emanated from the center of the collision, and the resulting gale-force winds whipped the women's hair back into the air.
Just a second after both sides' light cannons were evenly matched and neither side had gained the upper hand.
Hydra's three beams of light were instantly swallowed up by Benares's "Railgun".
The deep purple "Railgun" engulfed the three beams of light and blasted straight at Hydra's body.
"Bang—!!"
The terrifying, deep purple explosion instantly reduced half of Hydra's body to dust.
On the surface of the lakes surrounding Hydra, deep purple electric currents resembled tiny swimming fish.
The Hydra's nine heads were instantly blasted away by Benares's "Railgun," leaving only the four heads on the edges.
The next second, an unexpected scene appeared in everyone's sight.
A viscous liquid resembling bubbles gushed from the wound on one side of Hydra's body. The bubbles gradually rose, and then the half of Hydra's body that had been reduced to dust regenerated back to its original form.
And there were also the four destroyed serpent heads of the Hydra.
"Has even the regeneration speed become a myth...?"
After seeing this, Yurith looked at the regenerated Hydra with a grim expression.
Luo Mio looked at the regenerated Hydra, pondered for a moment, and then turned to look at Yurith.
"Yurith, go and wipe out the swarm of Lizard Dragon flying toward the city."
"That's right." Amagiri Ayato held the "Black Furnace Demon Sword" and pointed it at the Chimera.
"We're here. You go and protect the city's safety."
Upon hearing Amagiri Ayato's words, Yurith replied, "I understand. I'll leave it to you then."
Luo Mio turned her head away and looked in the other direction.
"Kong, you go with Yurith."
Kong nodded.
"Um."
Holding the empty little hand, six-pointed flame wings appeared on Yurith's back.
"Crimson Hellbird's Wing"
Upon seeing Yurith's actions, the three-headed monsters Chimera, Orthrus, and Cerberus also rushed towards Yurith's direction.
"The Type 38 Brilliant Howitzer Herneklem!" —Burst!
A massive blue light bullet erupted from the enormous muzzle of Sasamiya Saya.
"Boom--!"
The light projectile struck the path of the three beasts, Chimera, Orthrus, and Cerberus. The shockwave and intense heat from the explosion forced the three beasts to stop.
"The 'Amagiri Bright Star Style' swordsmanship has been passed down through generations!"
Amagiri Ayato's voice rang out, and two figures emerged from the dust.
It was Amagiri Ayato and Amagiri Haruka.
Amagiri Ayato wields the "Black Furnace Demon Sword," while Amagiri Haruka wields a regular sword -Kou-type Weapon imbued with the Prison Power.
" ——Nine Fangs Katana!"
The two unleashed a series of slashes at the Chimera at an imperceptible speed.
Meanwhile, the others attacked the other two monsters.
——
Seeing Amagiri Ayato Hydra the others' actions, Luo Mio also turned around and looked at Hydra.
He said to Benares, "In that case, there's no need to hold back. Let's end this now."
"Roar----!"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Benares roared to the sky.
Then all four eyes turned to Hydra.
Hydra, noticing Benares's gaze, also roared.
However, this time there was a clear hint of fear in his voice.
The nine snake heads opened their mouths wide at Benares, and the Omni-element gathered in their mouths transformed into a beam of light that shot towards Benares.
Ice Snow Descent!
Endless icy blue energy gathered in front of Bella, transforming into a six-pointed snowflake barrier that easily blocked the simultaneous beams of light from Hydra's nine snake heads.
The next moment, a terrifying aura appeared beside Benares.
On Benares's outstretched wings, the left wing membrane turned a deep purple, while the right wing membrane turned a fiery red. In front of Benares, the snowflake barrier also gathered into an ice-blue energy ball.
Deep purple lightning, crimson flames, icy blue chill...
As if sensing the danger, Hydra desperately fired its beam cannons at Benares, attempting to break through Benares's snowflake barrier.
Benares opened his mouth, and three streams of energy converged into Benares.
The next moment—
"Boom--!"
Three streams of energy erupted from Benares's mouth!
"Tricolor Judgment Dragon Breath!"
The vast dragon breath, like a divine punishment descending from the heavens, enveloped Hydra's entire body, including its nine snake heads.
Under the powerful lightning, scorching heat, and absolute cold, Hydra's body was powerless to resist, and the Omni-element that made up its body were completely reduced to nothingness and disappeared into the surface of Lake Lezetania.
"How could this be..."
Gustav stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
Luo Mio looked at her and chuckled, "General."
At that moment, countless red lights appeared on the opposite shore of the lake, high above the lake.
Gustav turned his head to look.
——
As Yurith flew through the air, she watched the swarm of Lizard Dragon approaching the city, but she was still a great distance away from them, separated by more than half the lake. With no other option, Yurith gritted her teeth and struggled to fly forward.
"Sister Yurith."
Nestled in Yurith's arms, Sora suddenly asked, "How long did that big spark you used in the final take?"
"You mean 'Great Wheel Burst Radiance'?" Yurith asked after hearing Sora's words. "If you concentrate, it only takes about ten seconds."
"Okay." Sora nodded after hearing Yurith's explanation.
"Do you have any ideas, Xiao Kong?"
Kong looked at Yurith and said, "Wait a moment, Yurith, once you're ready, just unleash that big spark directly in front of us. I'll wait for your signal in front of those lizard monsters."
"Huh?"
Just as Yurith was filled with doubt, the empty space in her arms vanished.
Yurith raised her head and looked ahead, towards the swarm of Lizard Dragon.
Then, Kong's petite figure appeared in front of the Lizard Dragon horde.
After a moment of doubt and worry, Yurith shook her head instantly, raised her hand, and "Stellar Power" began to gather and swirl around her body.
Then, suddenly a terrifying energy fluctuation came from behind.
It seems that Luo Mio and the others have already resolved the issue.
So...
One hand is facing upwards, and a small fireball gathers in its palm.
The fireball then shot upwards, exploded in mid-air, and transformed into a red flower of flames.
The next moment, a huge Void Fissures appeared in the air in front of Yurith.
Upon seeing the Void Fissures, Yurith swung her "Wreath Sword" towards Void Fissures.
A huge red Magic Circle appeared in the Void Fissures.
"Bloom! 'Great Wheel Burst Radiance'!"
A giant flower of flame appeared in the Void Fissures.
Then the Void Fissures quickly closed and disappeared.
"It's up to you, Xiao Kong."
In front of the Lizard Dragon herd, Kong floated in mid-air, his Liuli golden eyes shimmering with spatial energy fluctuations.
Then he swung his arm.
Behind her, countless Void Fissures suddenly appeared, facing the swarm of Lizard Dragon.
Countless bursts of fiery energy shot out towards the swarm of Lizard Dragon.
At that moment, everyone in the city and the slums on the ground saw the shooting star.
A meteor shower of fire!
"The Void Descent - The Great Wheel Burst Radiance!"
In an instant, the Lizard Dragon horde was struck by countless balls of fire flowers, turning into fiery corpses that fell into the lake.
Fortunately, these Lizard Dragons were created by Gustav's Stellar Power, so there is no concern about the lake being polluted.
A short while later, the fallen Lizard Dragon corpse transformed into Stellar Power and dissipated into the air.
——
Gustav looked at the falling swarm of Lizard Dragon and gave a wry smile.
Turning around, they saw that the three magical beasts, Chimera, Orthrus, Cerberus, had already been killed by Amagiri Ayato, turning into Stellar Power and dissipating.
"It seems I'm the clown," Gustav said, lowering his eyes.
Gustav looked up at Luo Mio and asked, "You had the ability to capture me from the very beginning, so why did you wait until now?"
Luo Mio smiled slightly after hearing Gustav's words.
"In novels and comics, shouldn't it usually be the villains who demonstrate their formidable strength before it's our turn to perform, right?"
Chapter 96: Ranking Changes
"On behalf of all the people of Lezetania, I thank you."
Upon returning to the palace, Luo Mio and the others received thanks from Jobart, the King of the Kingdom of Lezetania Yurith's brother.
After offering his condolences to Luo Mio and the others, Jobart took his leave first. After all, such a great commotion had occurred tonight, and as the king of the country Jobart had many things to deal with.
Afterwards, Yurith led Luo Mio, Amagiri Ayato, and others to the detached palace, which was located in the same territory as the imperial palace.
Although located in the same territory as the Imperial Palace, the luxuriousness of the detached palace was in no way inferior to that of the Imperial Palace.
In the private corridor connecting the palace and the outlying palace, everyone looked out.
"So beautiful..."
Kato Kirin also exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the scenery outside.
Although it was night, the light emanating from the palace was still bright enough for everyone to see very clearly.
Between the detached palace and the imperial palace, in the Baroque-style courtyard, covered in pure Shirayuki, the entire courtyard becomes magnificent, without any marks or damage, a pure, natural Shirayuki makeup.
As expected of a princess?
The detached palace where Yurith lived was far more luxurious than the rooms in Luo Mio's house in Asterisk.
However, since Luo Mio, Fu Hua, Kong and others didn't care much about this, there was no overly luxurious decoration in Asterisk's house.
