"Wendy the vampire said that now all the gods of the law are trapped in one place and cannot return for the time being; And it seems that one more person died, and only twelve remained...... Who is this man? Is it really Frestia, as I guessed before? ”

"Whoever this person is, in that case, I should have no problem using this thing."

Xia thought about it in his heart for a long time, and felt that there was no danger, so he put the ring on his finger.

Sheila's fingers...... Seems to be thicker than me. ”

Her fingers were very slender, and when she wore the ring, it was noticeably empty.

But as soon as this thought arose, I felt a tightness in my hand, and the ring suddenly shrunk a little, just clinging to the surface of the fair skin, and became very snuggly.

The change startled her.

"Can it read the mind of its master?"

Xia moved his fingers in surprise, and felt more and more that this thing was not simple.

"I don't know what it does other than being able to defend in space."

In terms of defense alone, how strong was Mireyer in his heyday? Even a casual blow can be devastating, but this ring can nullify her attacks!

Of course, this neutralization is not absolute...... In the end, Sheila still broke her legs from the attack from her feet, indicating that the ring was flawed because it could not defend itself in all directions.

"If you can block the frontal blow of the Giant Guardian, you may also be able to block the attack of the Ancient Dragon; That's one of the most powerful gods in the world today. ”

She suddenly felt as if she had found something very nice.

But...... If she can use it.

"This defensive spatial magic doesn't quite fit my personality, but I may not be able to find other clues from it."

Natsu wanted to activate the ring and look for inspiration.

However, unlike being able to read the user's will in detail, simply using the spirit to urge it will not activate the additional spatial spells on it.

"Shadow of Time - Shelter!"

She tried to learn the sound Sheila shouted when she used it.

No response.

"Shadow of Time - Sanctuary!"

She was not reconciled and tried a second spell.

Still no response.

The ring, which looked somewhat like bronze, glowed with a dull yellow glow, silently on her finger, like an ordinary ornament, without the ripples of sound waves that it had at the time, and the space around it did not become blurred and distorted.

"It should take the power of Fristya to wield the magic above......"

Xia somewhat figured out the reason, sighed and put his hand down:

"Or rather, the power of the gods?"

"I wonder if the amulet worn by Dolinda and Tasia can activate it...... There is a genuine blessing of the Dharma God on it. ”

As she pondered, she didn't notice that a pair of eyes were staring at her.

The eyes were a strange blood-red color, coming from Wendy, who was supposed to be sleeping on the back of the dinosaur.

"I thought she was ......"

The vampire girl lowered her head and said to herself:

"It seems that I am thinking too much, if she really has the memory of a god, how can she not even use a ring? It looks like a. ”

Natsu, who didn't know that he had been classified as a stupid, never gave up his research, and thought about it all the way, but he didn't come up with a reason until he got to the side of the lake.

"Master, it's time to get there."

Erin reminded her.

"Hmm...... Wait a little longer. ”

Natsu threw away the tattered swordsman suit on his body, jumped into the water, and jumped into the water.

She also wore some protective clothing under her coat, but she was not afraid of going away.

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... What are you doing? ”

The advance team members stood on the shore with their faces in staring at each other, not knowing what she wanted to do.

After some time, a huge white wave suddenly erupted in the lake.

In the splash, a thick tornado rose from the surface of the water, and a 12-meter-long behemoth screamed and was swept into the air by the waterspout, struggling to fly back and forth on all fours inside, and finally "fluffy!" "Fell into the water.

"Gollum ......"

The crocodile-like monster flipped its belly and slowly floated on the surface of the lake, foaming at its mouth, looking exhausted.

"Whoa—"

Natsu flapped his bats and emerged from the lake, flicking his long wet black hair, and flew to the monster's big mouth, his eyes glowing with blue light.

"It would be nice to surrender sooner."

After forcibly signing the master-servant contract, she stepped on the chin of the emperor crocodile with her foot:

"I have to suffer so much...... It's also a waste of my time, you said you didn't ask for it, ah? ”

The crocodile's eyes were filled with large tears.

How did it know that this tiny creature was so powerful that it could manipulate the flow of water, and if the creature in the water could not control its actions, it was natural to imagine what would happen to it.

- It's been being used as a target and bombarded by magic!

In fact, this guy has long wanted to go to that building to get some magic crystals, but because of his size, he has never succeeded; So in the face of Xia, who can see the weaknesses, he didn't have any defensive power, and it didn't take long for him to be beaten honestly.

"Follow me to count you lucky, you know, when the time comes, find a bigger magic crystal for you, your strength can be improved by at least two stages, much stronger than the one who guards here every day, right?"

Xia also guessed what this guy wanted to do, but whether it was the big hole that was first discovered or the gap in the magic crystal storage room, it was impossible for a creature like the emperor crocodile to get into.

“？”

Unlike the frightened advance team, Gladys was curious about the big monster, crouched down beside it and poked its scales with her fingers.

"Boom!!"

Except for Xia, of course, the emperor crocodile has no good attitude towards other people, and the thick tail roared wildly, causing the water to roar under him, splashing the spider beauty all over.

"Dare to be arrogant!"

This annoyed Xia, she kicked it a few times with the strength of a top swordsman, and the emperor crocodile sank from the water, and when she floated up, she had become obedient and abnormal, and she no longer dared to lose her temper casually.

"Go ashore."

Natsu gave it an order.

The crocodile honestly swam to the shore, pressed his huge mouth to the ground, and covered his head with two front paws, looking like a captive who had surrendered.

This funny appearance amused Xia, so he didn't continue to bully it, and called everyone on the back of the emperor crocodile, and asked it to carry everyone towards the base in the middle of the lake.

Even the dinosaur had an addiction to taking advantage of the overlord of the lake to visit the scenery, even if it had the power of the magic crystal, it did not dare to fight with the terrifying large creature of the emperor crocodile, and every time it came, it was carefully avoided and quietly landed on the island in the middle of the lake.

"Open the door, Her Royal Highness the princess is back!"

Merlin, who had placed a surveillance eye outside the gate of the base, spotted Natsu and the people who had returned, and hurriedly gave instructions to the secret sentry guarding the door.

The heavy gate of the base muffled and opened a crack.

"Well done, remember to do it in the future."

Natsu praised the team members who opened the door.

This is her idea, because she doesn't like to engage in formalism, as soon as a big man comes, the main door will be opened, and the red carpet will be spread out to welcome music or something; That kind of behavior is a complete act of death in such a dangerous area.

"Where's Xueqian?"

The first thing she did after meeting everyone was to ask for news of the missing Flame Goddess.

"It's back, she looks tired, and it's Edith taking care of her at the moment."

The wizard Kilrondo answered her question.

Xue Qian is usually divided into 2 states, one is the same as the vampire girl, attached to Edith, which has the advantage of being able to sleep in a latent sleep and save her strength.

The other is to reveal her true body, which is also the most powerful and convenient state to move, and Xuexi kept this form when she disappeared, leaving Edith in the base.

"Irene."

Natsu gestured to the artifact Lori and asked her to find the Flame Goddess.

As long as there are elemental magic fragments by her side, I believe that Xue Qian's spirit will recover soon, and she should understand what is going on by then.

"Deria, Kilrondo, don't go yet."

Then she called a meeting of the important members of the team, told everyone what she knew, made some arrangements, and left the werewolf princess and the wizard behind. (To be continued.) )
