Chapter 554
When she heard Luo Mio call her name, Celestia was slightly taken aback.
Similarly, the 'black-haired girl' that Luo Mio was very familiar with also paused for a moment, and her slightly gray eyes revealed a very complicated and strange look as she looked at Celestia.
Of course, Celestia didn't notice the true identity of her cute junior, and looked at Luo Mio with some surprise.
"Instructor, do you know who I am?"
Luo Mio shrugged and said in a very calm tone.
"That girl, Relli, showed me all the information on the students in the entire academy when I took office."
"And as the strongest Dragoknight in the academy, how could I not know you?"
"So that's how it is."
Celestia nodded slightly and quickly pulled the black-haired 'girl' toward her dormitory.
"Huh...?"
After the girl realized what was happening, her face froze for a moment.
"Ah, please... wait... just a moment."
After watching the black-haired girl being pulled away by Celestia, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly.
Then, Luo Mio turned her head to look at the ground on the other side.
There was a faint trace of something on the ground, like the aftermath of a smoke bomb explosion.
Just then, Luo Mio's eyes flickered, and she suddenly raised her head to look at the night sky.
With her deep blue eyes slightly narrowed, Luo Mio murmured softly.
That is...
A completely black Asuka flew through the night. If it weren't for Luo Mio's extraordinary eyesight and perception, an ordinary person would not have been able to see it.
At that moment, Legri's voice suddenly rang out from behind Luo Mio.
Bianca!
Upon hearing Legri's voice, Luo Mio turned around and asked Legri.
"What's wrong?"
Legri looked around, her tone very serious, and spoke softly to Luo Mio.
"The headmaster is looking for you."
Seeing Legri's solemn expression, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
"Okay, I understand."
——
"You mean... this message just arrived?"
Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Relli, listening to what Lei Li had just said to her.
Relli nodded solemnly.
"To be precise, it was about an hour ago."
"..."
Upon hearing Relli's words, Luo Mio fell into deep thought.
Just an hour ago, the capital city of Crossfield was attacked.
To be precise, it should be located in the prison in the capital.
The prison where Lagrid and the Old Empire Rebel Army were held was attacked.
And it was attacked by... a Mythical Beast!
A bunch of gargoyles!
When Luo Mio heard this news, a look of seriousness appeared in her eyes.
And then Relli continued speaking.
"And the survivors said that they all heard a very strange flute melody before the attack by the Phantom Beast."
The sound of a flute...
Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
Previously, they learned from Lagrid Furus that they had purchased the 'Horn Flute' from a black market merchant in the neighboring Heiburg Republic.
So, aside from the 'Horn Flute' currently held by Lux and Airi at the Royal Military Academy, the Horn Flute sound appearing in the Royal Capital prison is probably from the black market merchant who sold the 'Horn Flute' to Lagrid.
But...
Luo Mio stroked her chin, lowered her eyes slightly, then looked up at Relli and asked.
"Why would they attack the capital's prison? Even if it were Lagrid Furus and those Old Empire Rebel Army, it wouldn't warrant such a large-scale attack."
Relli's face was very pale as she spoke to Luo Mio.
"Instead of rescuing Lagrid and the Rebel Army, they killed them all!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly; even he felt a hint of surprise.
"Kill them all...?"
Relli nodded and then said, "However, neither Lagrid Furus nor the Rebel Army seem to have been killed by gargoyles. There are no scratches, bites, or bone wing piercing wounds on their bodies."
"According to their report, Lagrid Fruth and his men were killed by someone before the gargoyles attacked."
"Moreover, the way he was killed was extremely bizarre."
Relli glanced at Legri beside her and gestured.
Legri nodded slightly, then came to Luo Mio's side and used the Sword Device in her hand to turn on a display screen.
"This footage was taken by a special-equipped mecha piloted by Dragoknight from the Kingdom."
Luo Mio looked over, and then a thoughtful look appeared in her azure eyes.
The screen displayed a scene from the royal prison.
Although the scenery outside the royal prison was ruined due to the gargoyle attack, the interior remained intact.
What drew Luo Mio's attention, however, was the sight of the Rebel Army.
Their entire bodies seemed to have transformed into something like plants; their limbs, skin, and even their clothes had been assimilated into something resembling trees.
This made the prison feel like a secret jungle.
Relli looked at Luo Mio and asked.
"Bianca, do you have any clues?"
Luo Mio gently shook her head.
After seeing Luo Mio's reply, Relli also sighed softly.
"We were supposed to be heading to the Lidnes Sea coast of the Heiburg Republic in just a few days to hunt down the 'Finality Godbeast,' and now this has happened again."
Upon hearing Relli's words, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You said... what are you going to attack?"
"Finality Godbeast"...
This was the first time Luo Mio had ever heard of this name.
Seeing Luo Mio's expression, Relli also opened her mouth slightly and then spoke.
"Didn't I give you information about ruins, mythical beasts, and the Finality Godbeast's before?"
"Oh, that one? I glanced at it and then tossed it in a corner."
"You know perfectly well that whether I know the Divine Beast or not, it makes no difference to me."
"..."
Hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli felt slightly embarrassed.
As Luo Mio said, given his strength, knowing the true nature of the Illusionary Divine Beast wouldn't make much difference to him.
The only difference might be whether or not it can be resolved with a single punch.
If one punch isn't enough, then throw another.
This is a truth that Luo Mio learned from the bald demon Saitama.
Relli then explained to Luo Mio the origin and information about the "Finality Godbeast".
After hearing everything, Luo Mio's azure eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
'The ultimate legendary Pokémon bearing the name "The Finality"...?'
Even Luo Mio hadn't expected to encounter the Divine Machine Dragon Ouroboros, known as 'Infinity,' in this world.
Now we hear about the seven ultimate mythical beasts, known as the 'Finality'.
"That's what Relli said again."
"Originally, the kingdom planned to send the Rebel Army to the front lines to weaken the Finality Godbeast's' fighting strength, since there are quite a few Dragoknight left in the kingdom."
But Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke to Relli.
"But Relli, don't forget, the most important thing right now is what's going on between Celestia and Lux."
Hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli couldn't help but smile wryly.
"It seems you've already met that child, Celis."
Luo Mio nodded.
"Just as you said, that child truly deserves to be the strongest student in the academy."
"You have a pretty high opinion of her."
"So, who do you think is stronger, her or Lux-kun?"
In response to Relli's question, Luo Mio answered directly.
"If Lux is willing to use Bahamut, then there is no doubt that Lux will be the winner."
"So direct?"
Luo Mio rolled her eyes at Relli.
Putting aside Bahamut and Gluttony, if we add Lux's three self-created secret techniques, Lux would undoubtedly be the victor.
"Yes... a lot has happened lately."
As she spoke, Relli looked in another direction in the room, where a calendar marked the time.
Looking at the date on the calendar, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.
"So the time for its appearance is almost here."
Relli nodded with a very serious expression.
"Um."
The day when "The Third Relic - The Ark" will appear!
Chapter Twenty-Five: Friendly Match
The next day, Luo Mio calculated the time and headed towards the 'Knight Order' training Mecha Dragon Armory.
As I walked along the road, passing the corridor on the third floor of the school building leading to the principal's office, I saw first, second, and third grade students gathered at the entrance of the principal's office, regardless of their grade level.
A second-year student on the periphery also brightened up when he saw Luo Mio walking from behind.
"Ah, Teacher Bianca."
Although many students had gathered, they were all very quiet and not noisy at all, as if they were listening to something quietly.
Upon hearing someone call Luo Mio's name from behind, many students turned to look.
Luo Mio looked at her student and asked her a question.
