Chapter 576

"Every investigation of the ruins is accompanied by considerable danger, and this investigation may reach the deepest level, making it even more dangerous."

"But for some people who can reach the deepest part of the ruins, they will come up with a pair of high-sounding reasons to attach themselves to power and treasure, and then use the favors they have done for helping us investigate the ruins to consolidate their position in the New Kingdom."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli also fell silent.

Looking at Luo Mio, Relli said with a wry smile.

"Why do I feel like Bianca knows everything? Even some political matters are crystal clear to me."

Luo Mio shrugged.

I only know a little bit about it.

Of course, this was something Luo Mio had personally experienced.

After all, Luo Mio had been involved in a lot of political matters during the time she spent in the Black World as a 'divine child'.

Politicians' attempts to curry favor and build connections with their then- Head of State's mother through marriage are commonplace at almost every so-called political gathering.

Therefore, Luo Mio did not stay long at the 'Sacred Abode' before leaving, as it was filled with disgusting and nauseating intrigue.

Luo Mio looked at Dobal Fist's large warship.

"Apart from some of the children in the Knight Order ', Airi, Celes, and Lisha all understand that Dobar Fister's appearance here is probably part of Haitz's conspiracy."

"The purpose is to lure them to the deepest part of the ruins."

Relli looked at Luo Mio.

"That's why you let Risha and the others get some rest..."

"Um."

"Without La Corshee's guidance, it would have been difficult for them to explore and investigate the first one or two layers of the deepest part before today."

Relli said with concern.

"But sending them to fight the Finality Godbeast of Heiz..."

Luo Mio smiled softly.

"Don't worry, it's just Finality Godbeast, it's not a difficult task for them."

As Lux, Lisha, and the others chatted with the members of the Knight Order ', Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly, her voice barely audible to herself.

"Oroboros..."

——

The next morning.

Luo Mio stood in the open space in front of the training room, looking at Celes, Lisha, Lux, Philphi, Kurokushifa and others who had already summoned their mecha dragons.

"Teacher Bianca, aren't you coming with us...?"

"Tirfa asked in confusion."

Luo Mio shook her head.

"I don't want to reveal my strength to those people in the kingdom, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the women understood what Luo Mio meant.

Then, under Luo Mio's gaze, the women and Lux also flew towards the teleportation port of the "Third Ruins - Ark".

A dazzling blue light burst forth from the teleportation point, shimmering across the sky.

After glancing at the blue light, Luo Mio glanced at the other 'Knight Order' members who were on guard around the perimeter.

Then Luo Mio headed in another direction on Ries Island.

After traversing the grassy island where there were no streetlights, Luo Mio finally arrived at an open space.

And in front of them stood a figure.

Upon seeing that figure, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This should be our first meeting, right, the former First Prince of the Arcadia Empire, Fukir Arcadia."

Chapter 44: Battle! Ouroboros! Special Armament!

Fukir Arcadia.

The First Prince of the former Old Arcadia Empire!

He is also the half-brother of Lux and Airi!

Five years ago, during the coup d'état of the Old Empire, he and Lux jointly planned and executed a scheme to end the corrupt rule of the Arcadia Empire.

However, in the end, he went against the original plan and killed all members of the royal family, including the emperor, as well as all the imperial Dragoknight in the capital when the coup was about to end.

After Lux arrived, he mocked Lux mercilessly before disappearing without a trace.

Upon hearing Luo Mio's voice, Fukir Arcadia slowly turned his head to look at Luo Mio.

Wearing a gorgeous coat, with the same silver hair as Airi and Lux, but unlike Airi and Lux, he had a pair of bright gray eyes that looked like those of a wild beast that had been starving to the extreme.

Upon seeing Luo Mio, Fukir Arcadia revealed a very mature and composed smile, and spoke slowly to Luo Mio in a steady and elegant voice.

"Ah, this is indeed our first meeting, Ms. Bianca Durandal Atagina."

Upon hearing Fukir Arcadia's voice, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.

His eyes already conveyed the feeling that Kō-nii was exhausted, but he quickly returned to normal.

Looking at Fukir, Luo Mio then looked at the "Third Ruins - Ark".

"What? Are you here to protect your noble Third Princess?"

"Haiz?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fukir smiled and smirked.

"No, no, no, I'm here to stop that woman, Haze. Although we are indeed in cahoots, her actions have deviated too far from the original plan, so we need to correct it back to the original track."

Luo Mio said calmly.

"So that's why you told me about the Horn Flute in Haze's possession through the dragon's voice?"

"The Horn Flute in Haze's hand is a specially crafted 'Origin Species,' a unique item in the entire world. It allows him to control the true form of the Finality Godbeast, namely Yggdrasil, through the sound of the horn."

"Once it is destroyed by gunfire or seized, Heitz will be unable to issue orders to it."

As he spoke, Fukir shrugged.

"Of course, there is absolutely no need to destroy or take it now."

"But..."

Fukir looked at Luo Mio.

"Won't Lady Bianca go and help my foolish brother?"

Luo Mio glanced at Fukir, then said in a very calm tone.

"Help? It's just a Finality Godbeast, Lux and Risha can handle it themselves."

"If you can't solve it, then don't say I taught them."

Fukir smiled.

"I didn't realize Instructor Bianca was so strict."

"Whether I'm strict or not, shouldn't you know better than anyone else? After all, you've been observing and monitoring me in the 'Seventh Ruins - Moon,' am I right His Highness the First Prince?"

"The Seventh Ruins - Moon".

Unlike the other six ruins, the "Seventh Ruins - Moon" is located in the Torkimes Federal Union and has been floating in the sky for a long time. No one knows its exact location, and its appearance time and place are even more elusive than the "Third Ruins - Ark".

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fukir's gray eyes, which resembled those of a hungry beast, narrowed slightly.

Luo Mio smiled after seeing the look in Fukir's eyes.

"Ever since I resolved the Lagrid and Beibete incidents, you've been observing me from the 'Seventh Ruins - Moon'."

"Ever since that incident, I've had a vague feeling that a strange gaze is watching me."

"I think that was you."

Fukir looked at Luo Mio, a very serious expression in his gray eyes, and then slowly spoke.

"It seems I underestimated you."

"Just when I think I know you well enough, you can still surprise me and completely redefine my understanding of you."

"Really? Thank you for your compliment."

Luo Mio stroked her chin, looking at Fukir with a playful expression in her eyes.

"I must be the first person in the last thousand years to surprise you so much."

"..."

Fukir looked at Luo Mio in silence, but the wariness in his gray eyes never faded.

Luo Mio said calmly.

"Don't be so surprised."

"I sensed multiple overlapping forces within you. I believe it is because of this force that your body has remained untouched by the ravages and decay of time for so long. Now, apart from your appearance, there is no part of you that can be considered human."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fukir sighed softly, a bitter smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Forget it, I give up. I'm afraid I'll never be able to see you clearly in my lifetime."

Seeing Fukir's wry smile, Luo Mio's gaze fell on the Mecha Shell Sword hanging at Fukir's waist.

"I think... the reason you can appear here so openly is all thanks to that Mecha Shell Sword at your waist."

"Oh?"

Luo Mio said in a very calm tone.

"The Changing Machine Dragon — Ouroboros... Am I right?"

Fukir narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It seems you've already learned quite a bit from the libraries in the 'Third Ruins: The Ark' and the 'Sixth Ruins: The Little Garden.'"

"Hmm, for example... the fact that all seven ruins are 'weapons'... or the ability to tamper with or block other people's memories... I know about these things."

"Yeah..."

Fukir paused for a moment, then suddenly drew his Mecha Shell Sword at Luo Mio beside him and swiftly slashed it.

Faced with Fukir's sudden attack, Luo Mio glanced at him and the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' suddenly appeared in her right hand.

"Clang—!"

In the blink of an eye, you could see Fukir's Mecha Shell Sword clashing with Luo Mio's 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear'.

Upon seeing this scene, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

Although it is only the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' in its normal state, its sharpness and hardness are such that an ordinary Mecha Shell Sword would be shattered instantly by the Stellar Power within it upon contact.

However, Fukir's Mecha Shell Sword withstood the attack directly.

The Mecha Shell Sword in Fukir's hand was different from the Mecha Shell Sword of others. The blade emitted a faint glow as if it were wet, and it was inlaid with immortal silver threads, making it look very noble and elegant.

Luo Mio's eyes flashed, and the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' in her hand suddenly lost power. With a flick of her wrist, she directly deflected Fukir's Mecha Shell Sword, and the blue spear tip went straight for Fukir's throat.

The next instant—

"Buzz—!"

All that could be heard was the faint clanging sound of Fukir's Mecha Shell Sword, accompanied by a buzzing sound, as the blade emitted a seven-colored light.

Then, with the appearance of seven-colored light, Fukir's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Luo Mio's eyes flickered, and she threw the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' in her hand into the air. She turned around and grabbed the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' in reverse, then hurled it behind her.

"Call out----!"

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a seven-colored light shone forth.
