My name is Akatosh,

Calm down, think about the good, although I can't control it, but at least I still have a vest outside-

…… I'm going to tear down Valhalla.

—4E, 201, Frostfall Month, 6th, 18:10

Forests, wastelands, villages, after each "teleportation", the "Valhalla" that is clearly far away in the sky but close in front of you is clearer, when Arthur "teleported" to a city again, the red light around the "Valhalla" has already illuminated half of the sky - or the thick fog?

Who killed it this time? After Arthur crossed the "line", he looked everywhere for something that could still move, after all, according to the previous experience, the enemies in this fog were all "creatures" that the team members had killed, and for various reasons there was no kingdom of God or annihilation to go, so they were captured by "Alduin" to transform and control.

The shape and layout of the city was unlike any other Arthur had ever seen, and the houses inside were neither rugged with three logs like ordinary Nord buildings, nor heavy and artistic like dwarves or elves, they were built of a mixture of stone and wood, and after ensuring the practicality and beauty of the ground floor, almost all of the houses were raised high to the sky, as if they were proud of themselves, as if they were fighting something.

"Wang! The dragon empire's human architectural style? A certain demon god's dog said, recognizing it before Arthur, who had only seen them in his dreams: "So this is the building that Alduin brought from ancient times." ”

"If it was intact, it might have been archaeological, but now ......," Zela frowned as she looked at the city buildings.

The buildings were entwined with countless twisted roots and trunks, bursting through doors and windows, breaking roofs or walls and popping out again, each house seemed to be crawling with vines, but visually more miserable.

“…… It's me this time. Emile raised his finger and pointed through the roots and branches of the trees, resembling a human, but the "dryads" with their torsos made entirely of wood, in their ashification, looked more like dead wood that was moving from one trunk to the other, stopping at some point to trim the trunk.

"It doesn't feel like they've noticed us, but they're turning a blind eye to it, and they seem to think that taking care of the trees is the most important thing." Arthur drew his sword and looked around warily, "I think there should be other enemies—"

Whoo - bang!

As Arthur was busy guarding the enemies on the ground around him, he ignored the top of his head, and only reacted when a greatsword broke through the fog and stabbed him directly into the head, and he rolled out of the way in embarrassment, and then heard Emile fight with the enemy.

The fog around [Fight-Friend-Regiment-]" faded slightly, revealing the true face of the enemy who had fallen from the sky, it was a giant heavily armored warrior floating in the air, dressed in heavy armor that looked bloated, with a round shield in his left hand, a giant sword in his right hand, and a pair of dry bat-like wings behind his back.

"Armed vampire Maharaja?" Arthur got up and was surprised: "Vampires aren't creatures, are they?" ”

"I've studied the transformation ritual of the vampire maharaja, and the transformed person will be called the 'curser' until the transformation is successful, and if it is interrupted at this time, it will become a complete monster, and can increase its size by absorbing other vampires nearby, although it will eventually collapse on its own because it can't control the power in its body, but it will definitely cause serious damage before that - when did you interrupt this ritual?" Zela turned to look at Arthur as she offered Amir spell support.

"Seems to be the case." Arthur remembered the eccentric vampire Lord Gazette at the Treva Watchtower.

During the conversation, the Spellbinder was forced back a few steps by Emile before spreading its wings and rising into the air, with no face to be seen, but sure it was pinning its gaze firmly to Arthur through his helmet.

"[Comrades-in-arms! "A volley assault that looks exactly like the one before.

"Baron! Attack with all your might! Arthur was about to dodge the assault and seek a chance to fight back, when he heard Ladia's low shouts and judged that she seemed to be trying to block the attack for himself, so he swung his sword vigorously and attacked the galloping Curser.

Choke!

At this moment, it seemed that even time had slowed down, and before the two giant swords were about to collide, Ladia burst directly between the two, and swung the shield in her hand violently, bouncing back the curser's greatsword, causing it to directly become an empty door, and then rolled dangerously to avoid Arthur's attack, and then watched the "Sword of Oath and Victory" split the "curser" directly in half and turned it into ashes.

"Lydia! It's too dangerous! I command you, as a baron, not to do so in the future! Arthur also broke out in a cold sweat after killing the Curse Bonder, who would have thought that Lydia, who usually guards with a shield and gives people the impression of seeking stability in everything, could make such a thrilling move.

"At your command, Baron." Lydia said with a low brow.

Seeing her obvious attitude of wanting to commit it again, Arthur felt only a headache: the last member of the team who didn't need to worry about it was gone......

As the ashes of the Curser scattered, the expected Spiral of Flame Sword descended from the sky to freeze it, but the "Incarnation of Jagerag" did not appear.

"Obviously, there's more than one thing," Zela looked around, "If nothing else, the 'thing' that makes the city what it looks like is our goal." ”

"Anyway, take a break and head to the city center." Arthur sighed and sat down by the campfire.

——20:24——

"I don't think I can understand what's going on here......"

After a short break, the party continued deeper into the plant-controlled city, and as they got closer to the center, the number of ash creatures began to increase, but they ignored anyone in the group and focused on fighting each other.

Judging only by their appearance, the three warring parties were a group of strange-shaped human mercenaries with the same strange-shaped wolves, another group of strange mages wearing robes and black fog all over their bodies, plus five or six strange giants who were rampage across the battlefield and kicked everyone they met.

"Whoa!" "Kill the infidels!" "Die! Let's all die! "Lord Mora's sugar!" "Long live Somo!" The central square of the city, which was the battlefield, was chaotic and noisy.

The members of the party looked at each other for a moment, then looked at Zela collectively.

"See what I do? If I had killed it, I would certainly not deny it, but I was not impressed at all. The mage's eyes widened, and even her pointed ears twitched.

"Hmm...... So to speak? Arthur began to think.

"Wang! Mages are amazing," Babas concluded, "I was able to kill so many people by accident." ”

"Oh......" Zela gathered a swirling thunderball in the palm of her hand, "I just invented a spell called 'Inadvertent', would you like to try it?" ”

"Thank you!" Barbas ran away.

"Anyway, we'll need to get rid of these 'ash creatures,'" Zela said, dispersing the orb of electricity in her hand, "I can cast a wide range of spells, but it shouldn't be of much use to those giants, and it will attract their attention in advance." ”

"Oh, you can rest assured, I'm a professional at hitting big guys." Arthur patted his breastplate and said confidently.

"If there's something Dad can't beat, I'll eat it!" Sophie interjected.

The others didn't speak, but each nodded in agreement.

"I'll leave it to you." Zela opened her hands to the sky, and a shining circle of thunder appeared above her and began to spin.

At the same time, the fierce fighting in the town square stopped in an instant, and all the ashes of mercenaries, heretics, and giants turned their heads to look this way.

"Hey, that's not the same as saying yes." Rao was also frightened with Arthur's courage.

"I can only fight." As if to annotate Lydia's words, the ash monsters moved again, and as expected, they rushed straight towards Zela.

"Dare you say you didn't do it?!" Forget about an ash giant, this is a group? Even if it's half smaller than the previous one, it's enough to choke! Arthur didn't have time to think about it, so he directly transformed into a dragon and pounced out: "[You protect Zela, watch out for those who slip through the net!] ——Fus Ro Dah！ 】”

"It's not me!" Zela shouted desperately even as she was charging, and then a parallel second path appeared in the thunder circle.

"Baron! There are too many enemies! "Even if Arthur single-handedly blocked all the giants in front, the number of mercenaries and heretics was unusually large, and only three people and one dog could not stop it, even if the terrain advantage reduced the contact area, and could kill one with each blow:"Do you want to consider having Miss Sophie transform into -"

"[No—if you eat too much, this thing will become the same as them, that's how the dragon was transformed before!] Arthur mingled with several giants, and took the time to turn around and sweep his tail and let out a dragon roar to reduce the pressure on his companions.

"Damn ......" Under the left and right, Lydia gritted her teeth fiercely and seemed to be ready to use some trick, but suddenly saw a fault appear in front of her like a tide of ash monsters, and then, a girl in white riding a strange black horse jumped out of the fault out of thin air.

"Successful positioning—" the girl shouted in a cheerful voice, "Gifts!" Reindeer! ”

"Whew!" "It hurts!" "Where is this?" "Ainburne?" "I'm here." "Lily! Can you be reliable! "Hey, hey, hey~ (hearts)"

A group of people named "Gift", dressed in white very similar to the girl, were thrown out of the void by the black horse, and they formed a circle to protect Zela.

They didn't seem to be able to figure out the situation, but they immediately went into battle very efficiently, much strain the members of the adventure party except Arthur.

"Unbelievable." “…… Oh, oops. Sophie and Amir reacted almost in opposite directions when they saw the dark horse.

"How's it going, Zela? Are you satisfied with the gift I brought? The girl rode up to Zela, who continued to guide the spell, and tilted her head and asked.

"Wait for me, finish this, and then find you and settle the account." In Zela's staccato words, the Ring of Thunder and Lightning stacked into three layers, and a dazzling electric light began to flicker in the center.

"[Remember to remind me to dodge before you throw the spell]!" Arthur's voice could be heard in the distance.
