Chapter Seventy-Seven: Time Spent in the Dark
"βthat's it. Surrender, Sword Witch of the Lion King's Agency. I'm also making Wattola wait too long. There's no time left to be your opponent. β
Caldesius exhorted majestically. And Yukina silently clenched her teeth.
There's no way around it anymore. Even with the Snow Wolves in their hands, it would be a tough battle to match the three orcs, including Gardesius, with Shallot and Nagisa as hostages, as well as Narakvara. No matter what you do, Yukina can't win.
Dragged by Narakwala, the "Tomb of the Sea God" approached the shore of the artificial island on the 13th floating in the sea.
Gardesius's purpose was to bring all the dormant narakvara of the cargo room to the surface and awaken them. Then I'm going to use those 6 Narakwara to fight Wattola.
Even if she knew this, Yukina couldn't do anything about it. The roar of the hydraulic pipes sounded, and the storage door of the "Tomb of the Sea God" was opened.
And then - a distant bark similar to that of a screaming beast resounded through the air.
Then, as if it had eaten a critical hit, countless fragments were scattered, and the artificial island shook violently.
β¦β¦
"Damn...... There's no way out of here. β
In the darkness, the tired voices of the ancient city echoed. This is a narrow passage for inspection that has been spread out here and there in the addition of artificial islands.
Logically, this passage should lead all the way to the ground, but in reality it is not that simple. The inside was set up like a labyrinth, and it was sealed with rubble everywhere. As they kept going back and forth, they had lost even their current location in the ancient city.
Plus at their feet, the sea was already closing in on them. Also because of the leak from the head, the ancient city and Sayaka were soaked all over.
"That's a bit of a bad thing. The rate at which the water level is rising is accelerating. If it doesn't take ten minutes, maybe this side will sink. β
Looking at the rubble blocking the front, Sayaka muttered resentfully.
And the ancient city kicked the steel bars at its feet,
"- Fly with the 'lion's gold', that really won't work."
Sayaka stared at the ancient city closely.
"If I were to call out that thunder and lightning aggregate in such a wet place, I wouldn't say that I, along with all the people on the ground, would turn into black charcoal...... Even you won't be safe, will you? β
"You're the only one who will be fine, and the power of our vampire True Ancestor is at least more powerful than you seem to think." However, in this case, even the power of the 'Black Dragon Thunder Flame' will not be able to be used.
Because the 'Black Dragon's Thunder Flame', as the name suggests, is a beast that has both the power of fire and thunder, and like the 'Lion's Gold', the current ancient city can't summon it at all.
As for the other beasts in his mastery, even their abilities are not yet clear, so the ancient city does not dare to summon them. If there is any case, of course he will be fine, but Saya Hua is not necessarily.
Therefore, the ancient city did not dare to summon other beasts, and the reason was because of the burden of Saya Hua.
However, Shayahua obviously didn't know what Gu Gu was thinking, otherwise he would have to be angry.
"Even if it's my 'Huanghualin', I can't do anything with so much rubble."
Saya said as if he were dragging the sword in his left hand as if he were heavy.
Well, that's right, the ancient city thought so too.
"Even if you can split a rock in half, a Japanese sword can't be used to dig a hole in the ground."
"Hmm."
Saya smiled weakly as she said this, and then sneezed wonderfully cutely. Only then did Gucheng realize that her shoulders were trembling slightly after being soaked in water.
"It's still cold underground, and I'm still soaking wet."
While muttering white air, the ancient city couldn't help but stop his gaze on Sayaka's chest.
The soaked open-collared shirt clings to the skin, allowing the underwear to shine through. A plump double ridge wrapped in pale pink lace, and a seductive deep valley sandwiched in it.
The vampire who can see the darkness can see clearly, and the figure is more vivid than necessary.
"What's wrong?"
Sayaka leaned over curiously to look at the face of the ancient city, which had suddenly fallen silent.
Oh, well, said the ancient city that hurriedly looked away. However, Saya Hua stared at such an ancient city in surprise, and then finally reacted to Gu to cover his chest.
"Xiao Ancient City ......!"
"No, it's not! I just thought you looked cold, so I just wanted to say it would be better to lend you my coat-"
"I can't wear a coat with your lust (se) body fluids or something! I'm going to get pregnant! β
"There will be ghosts! What do you really think of as a vampire!? β
The ancient city roared roughly. However, for some reason, Saya Hua's rebuttal did not come. She lowered her head for some reason, and was babbling with her fingertips.
ββ¦β¦ And I don't think it's good for Yukina......"
"Huh? At this time, it has nothing to do with Yukina. Anyway, you just put it on, give. β
The ancient city put his coat her. It's still soaked, but the body temperature of the ancient city gives the coat a certain temperature, so it's a little better.
As if tasting the body temperature, Saya Hua put the neckline of her coat close to her body,
"That, Xiao Gucheng."
"What's wrong?"
"Are you thinking that you can manipulate the new beast?"
"Of course...... After all, this is the case. β
It seems that someone has asked the same question before, Gu Gu thought and his expression was serious.
There are twelve beasts of the Fourth True Ancestor inherited by the ancient city. There must be beasts that can blast rubble away in this situation.
According to my impression, in the plot, there is only one beast that can solve this situation now. That's his No. 09 beast, 'The Scarlet of the Two Horns'.
"-But, when I forcefully summoned the 'Lion's Gold' before, I almost burned the entire eastern part of the island to the ground. If something like this happened here, an artificial island like this would not be able to hold up and sink to the bottom of the sea. β
The ancient city sighed as he spoke. It turns out that too much power is also a problem. Sure enough, in response to that sentence, the extreme of things is the opposite, and the extreme of yin is yang.
Sure enough, there are pros and cons to everything. Of course, if this trouble of the ancient city was known to the other True Ancestors, it is estimated that they would definitely fight with themselves.
Vampires have worked hard all their lives to make themselves stronger, and the ancient city has such power and still bothers it. Sure enough, I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness.
"As long as you can control it, right? That's why Yukina made you suck blood, right? β
"Huangsaka?"
Regarding the attitude of Saya Hua, who seemed to be thinking a lot about somewhere, the ancient city frowned.
Saya Hua blushed for no reason, wandering his gaze helplessly,
"So, what's that...... Wouldn't it be too big, I, sure enough. β
For her sudden question, Gucheng couldn't help but "whine" and didn't know how to answer. I can't help but look at my chest, which is slightly poking out from the neckline.
"That's, that's true, compared to Yukina, it's really not small."
"yes, it's not cute, is it......"
Saya Hua said with a self-deprecating smile.
What does that mean, Gu Chen couldn't help but be confused. I mean, if your boobs are too big, you won't be able to wear cute underwear, right? It's true that Saya Hua's physique, which is too well developed, is indeed possible.
Ah, what was I thinking! Am I an idiot!?
"Don't worry about things like that."
"Huh?"
"I think I still like older boys more, because they are more feminine."
While thinking about the dog friend with the head upright, Gucheng said.
But Saya tilted her head as if she was slightly confused.
"More feminine? Isn't it cute to be small? β
"No, there are some people who like this, but that aspect varies from person to person. Well, maybe she herself will be troubled by the fact that her shoulders are often sore. β
ββ¦β¦ Sore shoulders? What are you talking about? β
Saya Hua blinked, and the ancient city tilted his head,
"Huh? Isn't it? I remember where a photo idol said such a thing a few days ago-"
"Photo idol?"
Following Sayaka's words, Gucheng couldn't help but have a hint of teasing her.
And Saya Hua's expression was indeed lost as if she was really confused. Finally her shoulders began to tremble slightly with anger.
"-Who is telling you about boobs!? I'm talking about height, height! β
"Oh, what's wrong with height?" With his head down, the ancient city looked at Saya Hua, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of evil taste.
Definitely on purpose. Saya Hua stared at him dissatisfied, but was ignored by someone.
"What's the height! That's what I said from the beginning! β
Sayaka whined like a fierce dog.
And the ancient city looked down at her with a smile on his face,
"Saya Hua, you're only about six or seven meters at most, right? I think it's just an ordinary good body."
In terms of the feeling of the ancient city of the former basketball team members, Saya Hua's height is a very ordinary type. On the contrary, they think that they are easy to talk because of their close eye position. Of course, it's also because he's taller.
Maybe the last admonition worked, and Sayaka's mood improved a little.
"It's the biggest in our school! Thanks to this, it's me who hugs someone every time ......I make a princess."
"Princess hug?"
It's the one who desperately shouted that doesn't count, Gucheng recalled. Although I feel that she is a person who is particularly obsessed with this aspect, it may be a very important issue for Saya Hua, who has an inferiority complex in height.
Sure enough, no matter how strong Saya Hua is, she is just an ordinary girl, this is not a matter of character, but girls are born with love, and they all hope to have a support behind them.
"So, that's a little bit of a please. Because no one has ever done anything like that to me......"
And his ears were red, Saya said.
"Really, it's just like that. It's definitely not a delusion that one day in the future I will meet someone destined to be picked up by him and fall in love or something-"
"Ahh Casually replied vaguely, understanding that Saya Hua was not angry, and the ancient city was a little relieved.
Now she looks the same as the students of the same grade in the ancient city, like a very ordinary high school girl. I didn't think she was the same person as the one who fought against Narakwala. Yukina must have been looking at Saya Hua like this as a roommate. It's cute, and you can understand it well when you say it.
However, can her behavior just now be called tsundere?
Sayaka grabbed the chest of the ancient city's uniform and pulled it gently. (Markne)
