“What!? What is that!?”
Leila leaned forward on the rooftop, gazing at the distant sea.
An absurd explosion occurred, and the sky was dyed red. The blast reached all the way here, nearly blowing everyone away.
It was hard to tell clearly from a distance, but it looked like a giant green moth that changed its form repeatedly. In the end, it became a black giant flying in the sky, fighting the Blue King.
Explosions occurred repeatedly, and the wind raged.
It was impossible to tell who was pushing whom, but there was no doubt it was an extraordinary battle.
The sea that had swallowed the city was also repeatedly freezing and returning to seawater.
As Leila frowned, unable to grasp the situation, Nick, who was next to her, shouted loudly.
“P-Prime Minister! Look at that!!”
Turning her gaze, she saw someone running across the frozen sea.
No, not running. Moving as if gliding. Leila leaned over the edge of the rooftop, straining her eyes to see.
She had seen her before. It was a female Seeker named Charlotte.
Judging from the crackling light emitting from her feet, she was probably using magic. She approached at high speed, kicking off the ice sea and leaping.
With a soft thud, she lightly landed on the rooftop where they were.
“Prime Minister, are you safe?”
Leila and the others on the rooftop stared at Charlotte in bewilderment. Nick was also surprised, but his face broke into a smile at the arrival of the famous Seeker.
“Oh, Charlotte-dono! You’ve come! It seems we can survive now.”
People breathed sighs of relief like Nick. However, Leila was full of questions and didn’t feel like simply rejoicing.
“Charlotte, what about Hans? Isn’t he coming here?”
Charlotte took a breath and looked straight into Leila’s eyes.
“Hans-san is protecting the citizens in another location. I was told to go to the important people since I can move quickly on the ice.”
“I see… Anyway, I’m glad you came. So, what are those explosions that have been happening?”
Charlotte said, “Ah,” and turned around.
“That’s probably Mitaka fighting.”
“Mitaka? You mean the Seeker who came from Japan?”
“Yes, I don’t know the details, but he’s the only one who can fight like that monster.”
“No way…”
Leila was dumbfounded. She had thought that monsters were fighting for some reason, but that giant was a human.
Could such a thing be possible? To fight the Blue King on equal terms.
“But, why!? The British government… I refused their help, didn’t I?”
“Well, I don’t know. There’s only one thing I know.”
Charlotte slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
“He’s the only one who can defeat the Blue King!”
◇◇◇
‘This guy… is seriously huge.’
Yuma looked down from the sky, glaring at the Ice Dragon below.
Its six heads opened mouths filled with fangs, releasing a Frost Breath. It wasn’t just an attack. It was an Absolute Zero Breath.
Yuma pointed the dragon head on his left hand downward, opening its jaws wide.
‘Eat this!’
What spewed out was scorching flame. It was the powerful Fire Magic of the Red King.
It collided with the Absolute Zero Breath, fiercely pushing against each other. But the opponent was releasing it from six heads.
It was clearly at a disadvantage. Yuma flapped his large wings and evaded into the sky.
He managed to avoid the Absolute Zero Breath, but the Blue King moved its heads, trying to hit him relentlessly.
Yuma glided and gathered “Fire” Mana in his left hand.
The compressed flame turned into a Fireball and was launched towards the Blue King. If it hit, it could blow away that thick ice armor.
That’s what he thought, but—
‘What!?’
The Frost Breath instantly changed into “Water Breath.” A large amount of water collided with the “Fireball,” extinguishing the flame’s energy.
‘Damn it!’
While rapidly descending, he held his sword in his right hand. He swung the sword, clad in wind, and released a “Wind Blade.”
—It’ll hit!
At that moment, an “Ice Wall” rose up from the feet of the giant Dragon.
The Wind Blade destroyed the “Ice Wall,” but it couldn’t damage the Blue King. Yuma flew up again, taking distance.
—The response is getting faster. Did it become easier to switch between “Water” and “Ice” after taking that form?
Yuma looked at his arms. After using magic several times, he understood this form.
He could use some of the abilities of the Red King and the Green Lord, freely manipulating “Fire Magic” and “Wind Magic,” but he couldn’t convert Spatial Mana into Magical Power.
The only ability he could use was the Black King’s ability to convert Spatial Mana into “mass.”
In the end, he could only use magic equivalent to the Magical Power he possessed. If so, he had no choice but to fight based on that premise.
Having used powerful magic many times, he was running out of Magical Power.
He couldn’t afford a prolonged battle. He had to end it quickly!
Yuma descended in a straight line, charging towards the Blue King. He raised the sword in his right hand, gathering Wind Magical Power.
The Blue King reacted immediately.
Once again, ice like a crystal cluster rose up from its feet.
Incredibly thick ice stood as a “defensive wall.” A normal “Wind Blade” couldn’t cut through it. Then—
‘Oooooooooooooooooh!!’
The shape of his right hand changed from a “Longsword” to a “Giant Axe.” The “Axe” swung down with all its might, cutting through the atmosphere and creating a shockwave.
The crystal cluster shattered into pieces, further approaching the Ice Dragon.
The Blue King couldn’t move easily due to its massive size. When the wind shockwave directly hit, the outer ice shell cracked, tearing the flesh inside.
A death cry like a scream echoed. The Blue King, spurting blood, twisted its body and slightly backed away.
Without a moment’s delay, Yuma pointed his left arm at the opponent. A compressed “Fireball” was released.
The Blue King, thinking it couldn’t defend in time, moved one of its heads on the spur of the moment and devoured the Fireball.
A violent explosion enveloped the surroundings. The scorching flames and impact melted the surrounding ice, but the Blue King was still alive.
However, it had lost one of its heads, and the ice shell was partially destroyed. Smoke rose from its entire body, and it seemed to be barely breathing.
‘Not yet!!’
Yuma extended Metal Red’s long sword from the dragon’s mouth on his left hand. A “scorching sword” exceeding the temperature of magma.
Accelerating with Wind Magical Power, he charged into the Ice Dragon. The sword in his left hand extended further, piercing the Dragon’s body.
Steam billowed up, and there was a scream that couldn’t be voiced.
The wind raged around Yuma, and he rammed into it as it was. The Blue King lost its balance and fell backward.
The ice ground cracked, and a tremendous Crushing Impact spread around.
White crystals danced in the sky, and snowflakes fell. Yuma forcefully swung the sword in his left hand, which was stuck in the Blue King, to the side.
The Dragon’s torso split, and the ice shell melted away.
The burned wound would never regenerate. The Dragon turned its heads towards him in agony.
There were five of them. It was about to release a Frost Breath all at once.
Yuma swung the “Axe” imbued with Magical Power horizontally. The raging wind became a violence that no one could resist, blowing away two of the Dragon’s heads into the air.
Furthermore, he raised the axe high and swung it down with all his might.
The created “Wind Blade” became a violence that no one could resist, blowing the Dragon’s three heads into smithereens.
