"Hmm, you two are also relatives, so you don't need to be so tense, right?" It was none other than Heliga, who smiled and greeted as if no one was around, "It's good that Estelle is okay. Joshua, I'm done with my business, and I'm ready to move on to the next step. Levy...... Well, long time no see? Not...... I always feel a little weird to greet the people in the executor......"

“…… I didn't expect anyone to sneak in...... Did you use the same attack boat you used when you came? Levi was speechless for a while, the atmosphere he had just created had a feeling of being ruined—it seemed that every time this guy appeared, he felt a subtle discomfort, a bit like an adult sheep meeting a young tiger—although he knew that his strength and speed were better than his current self, he still couldn't overcome the instinctive feeling of natural enemies in his heart.

"As you say, once I show up, my concealment doesn't make any sense—but." Joshua smiled imperceptibly, "Do you really think I'm going to come up without any preparation?" ”

"If you want to protect it, you will protect it to the end, and if you want to give it up, don't look back. Once a choice has been made, it is important to follow through to the end. Didn't I teach you? Levi sneered, "I know that boy over there can fight without a weapon, and I know that you've regained the strength of an enforcer - but even then, I have no chance of winning against him." Tell me, why did you save that girl? ”

"With this." Joshua's fingers holding the knife moved imperceptibly, and he covertly activated the detonating device he carried close to him—and the Red Ark trembled violently, startling both Esther and Levy.

“…… I've done something to the guide mechanism. If left unchecked, the mothership will soon become a seabed debris. Joshua quietly looked at Levi's thoughtful appearance and said word by word, "Now all the engines have been set up differently by me...... Now that the professor and Ling are gone, only Levi can be relieved. If you still have to take the time to deal with me, then the consequences are needless to say, right? ”

"Is that the last hole card you left to stop us?" Levi closed his eyes, "But you shine it out at this time...... How long are you going to escape, to deceive? ”

"......" Joshua was silent and turned his gaze to Hyliga.

"I'll know when you get there. Feel relieved. The latter nodded, a slight smile, "I'll leave it to me here." ”

"Please." Joshua was not polite, and picked up Estelle and left.

“…… Aren't you with them? Looking at Helliga, who was standing there and watching quietly, Levi said calmly, "Or do you want to do something unrealistic?" ”

"Hmm...... I don't think you'll be able to solve all the problems before they can escape to the airship warehouse...... So I'm responsible for delaying the time. "Of course, if you don't want to fight, it's okay if we just stand and talk." ”

"Hmph...... Joking. Levi said mockingly, "They're leaving in an airship, what about you?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet, why don't you help me figure it out? Otherwise, I would have to jump from the height of 8,000 sub-moments. ”

"......" This time Lévy no longer answered, but slashed at Hyliga with a sword - he knew very well the horror of Joshua, who had regained the full strength of the executor, and if he didn't act, the Red Ark would really be blown up.

"Hey!" The boy flashed and dodged Lévi's sword—and then he poured magic into his hands, and a flash of lightning stabbed Lévi. The latter responded with a Zero Storm, where the two forces were wiped out in the air.

"For the sake of the past, I can spare your life. Hurry up and leave now, I can act as if nothing happened. Levi warned that he had decided that he would not miss his old feelings and kill the killer in the next stab.

"I don't like this way of talking. No one would dare to talk to me like that......" However, Haliga's tone changed completely, and the feeling made Levi's brow furrow—"Is that you?" ”

"It's been a long time, silver-haired swordsman." Heiliga greeted casually, "I didn't expect to meet here." But friendship is friendship, and you can't stop this thing, you still can't help it. ”

“…… That guy let you out for their sake? The opponent in front of him even took advantage of his own inattention to destroy the gospel on Regunat's head, and Levi didn't dare to be careless about him, "He doesn't have the courage to face me himself." ”

"Understand. Even if they are the king of beasts as adults, young tigers are afraid of adult, large herbivores. Hearing this, Heiliga agreed deeply and nodded.

"Interesting...... Maybe he'll grow up to be like the King of Beasts in the future—but. "I'm not a herbivore—I'm a Shura who is qualified to put down equal trials on humans. It doesn't matter what kind of tiger or bird of prey you are, anyone who stands in my way will be cut off by me with my sword. ”

"Good spirit—but what you, Shura, is not a mortal beast in front of you, but a dragon that is above the top of the food chain!" With the boy's words, several flames had already fallen from the sky, one after another—Levi was too difficult to find out the truth of this move, so he took a few steps back and dodged the flames' attack.

"Drink!" Taking advantage of the fact that Levi had just stood still, his center of gravity was unstable and he could not move sharply again, Heliga seemed to have been prepared, and with a wave of one hand, a magic circle floating in mid-air suddenly opened, and several ice picks pounced on Levi with cold air. Unable to dodge this time, Levi swung his sword lightly and knocked the ice picks flying. Several of them were set up on the ground or on the walls on the inside of the deck, and the frost was condensed.

"What an amazing energy ......," Levi said secretly, those ice picks just now, if he had used ordinary weapons, he might not be able to block them so easily—they were not ordinary ice cubes, they were attached to unheard-of magical powers. If it weren't for the fact that this sword in his hand was also extraordinary, otherwise he might not be able to be unscathed.

"It's amazing...... But it looks like they've arrived. Heliga didn't mean to chase anymore, he waved his hand lightly, and his body became ethereal like a shadow, "Next time I have a chance to fight again...... A silver-haired swordsman. ”

"Wait......" Levi instinctively reached out to stop him, but the latter had already evaporated into the air, leaving Lévy alone in place, staring at the air in a daze.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the hull shook violently again, interrupting Levy's thoughts.

"It's important to fix the engine first......" Lévi shook his head, gave up his thoughts, and turned to run into the cabin.

————————————————————————

"Huh......" appeared out of thin air in the lower warehouse area, and Heiliga took a few breaths of relief, looking at the empty deck area.

"It's not there yet...... Well, that's right. "In such a short period of time, Joshua and Estelle naturally couldn't have made it over. But I've been delaying them for some time, so I don't think it's a big problem.

"I just pretended to be Bernardo...... Hee-hee, it seems that even Levi didn't recognize it in an instant. "That's right, it wasn't Bernardo who appeared again, but Heliga's own simulating the latter's tone of speech and way of acting based on the situation last time—the urgency of the situation, even Levi didn't notice it.

Of course, with Helriga himself, he couldn't use such expert-level spells as Fire Runes and Frost Ice Picks. However, after the attack on Regunat, he had asked Bernardo to make a few rune scrolls that held the advanced attack spells, and those attacks came from these scrolls. Because of this, the high-intensity spell attack made Levi unsuspicious.

"Then just wait for Joshua and Istelle to come...... Well? Just as Heliga pondered his next move, he noticed two humanoid weapons appear in front of him.
