Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Banquet at Sea, Yukina's Former Roommate
"Well, I see...... Guchengjun should also be careful"
While saying goodbye to Nagisa who was waving cheerfully, the ancient city walked out the door.
It's also guilty of cheating on her sister, but I can't tell her the fact that I'm going to meet the vampires of the War King realm. Coming down the hallway, the ancient city sighed as if in self-loathing.
……
Arudia's cruise ship Dimitorie Vatora docked at the Grand Pier in the harbor area. It is a large ship that looks unusually luxurious from a distance.
The banquet began at 10 p.m. A large number of guests can be seen going up the escalator and into the cruise ship.
"The grave of the god of the sea... That is to say, a grave on the sea.... What a nasty name. Vatora, I'm really getting more and more interested in you. ”
Looking up, I saw the name of the ship engraved on the hull, although the name was not very good, but contrary to its ominous name, the hull of the spotlight was showing off its magnificent majesty like a palace to the night sky.
"The seabed is privately owned at this level...... The nobility of the War King realm is really not simple. ”
"I think it's one of their purposes to boast about their power in this way."
Yukina said in a calm tone.
"Although it is superstitious that vampires cannot cross the sea, their abilities at sea are indeed limited. However, the nobles of the Night Empire came by ship in a dignified manner, and it was also a demonstration of the visitor. Even if it's just a civilian ship and not a warship"
The ancient city's mood became a little heavy, and he looked up at the blue and white hull again.
As a civilian ship, the 'Tomb of the Sea God' is not armed. However, the owner of the ship is a vampire nobleman. The beasts they summon have combat capabilities that rival those of the highest aircraft carriers. In other words, tonight's String God Island is like the warships of the Night Empire parked on the coast, and it is in a state of intolerable progress.
It is precisely because of this that most of the people who can ride the 'Tomb of the Sea God' are people who are often seen in the news. Important politicians and economic authorities, government and important officials of the city of the gods, etc.
Since the host of the banquet was a nobleman from the War King realm, there was nothing unnatural about this level. But
"But it's really funny."
It wasn't necessarily the right choice to come here, but in Xiao Gucheng's body, the blood belonging to his Fourth True Ancestor began to boil, which was a natural reaction for him to sense that there were opponents nearby who were similar or of the same strength as him.
Although the ancient city was not a battle maniac, there was still a feeling of blood boiling in his heart.
"Learn, senior......"
"What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he looked at the ancient city of Yukina and was speechless for a moment.
He was robbed of his gaze by Yukina's completely different clothes.
A dress dress decorated with blue on a white background. The bare chest is a bit conservative, but it is completely exposed from the shoulders to the back. The thin fabric fully reveals Yukina's figure, and the snow-white and slender thighs poke out from under the gorgeous lace skirt.
It is tailor-made, and it is really a perfect match with the snow cabbage. Delicate and cute, and looming seductive clothes. Even the ancient city, which was used to seeing beautiful girls dressed up like Yukina, was stunned for a while.
"Senior?"
Yukina narrowed her eyes and stared at the ancient city as if she were vigilant.
"What's wrong?"
"This dress...... It's still weird, right? ”
"It's a good fit for Yukina."
"This dress...... Isn't it really weird?"
Yukina, who put the box away and stood up, suddenly looked up at the ancient city and asked in a low voice.
"Not at all. Perfect for you."
"Really"
Hearing Gucheng's answer, Yukina nodded lightly and walked towards the elevator. The neck with his hair floating up was dyed red, and his face couldn't help but be stained with two blushes.
I glanced at it inadvertently, and saw a silver hairpin in the shape of a cross. It wasn't the contents of a package from the Lion King Agency. It's really strange that Yukina, who doesn't have any personal belongings, would have such jewelry.
"Well, your headband is crooked."
"Eh......"
Yukina covered her head with her hands in a panic and hurriedly put away her hairpins, showing the same expression on her face as a child doing a prank.
"It's really strange, Yukina also wears hairpins, but it's really suitable for you."
"Really, really?"
"Of course, it's a good fit for Yukina."
"Nope. Perfect for you."
Guru's answer was the same as before, but Yukina, who heard him say the praise, smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.
"This was given to me by my former roommate in the Takami-no-Mori"
"Is that kid a sword witch like Yukina?"
Gucheng asked with a little interest.
Takami's Forest is the name of the full-boarding girls' school that Yukina attended until last month.
But the body of this school is the educational institution of the demon attackers under the Lion King organ. It is said that it was there that Yukina practiced and developed the ability of a sword witch. So the girl who lives with Yukina must not be an ordinary person who has nothing to do with spells.
But it should be that Saya Hua, in my impression that it is the "dance of the Lion King". The weapon used is a six-style heavy demon slaying bow called 'Huanghualin derfreiscutz', which can be transformed into a knife or bow.
"Senior, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing, let's go."
"Got it."
……
After stepping on this ship, the ancient city has a wonderful feeling.
It's a bit like the excitement before a basketball game starts. Fear and joy, a sense of crisis and excitement combined into a comfortable sense of tension. It was the sensation of sensing the approach of a compatriot with great strength, and the nerves of the whole body became extremely sharp. This is the "blood" of the ancient city of vampires, that is, the beasts that inhabit the blood, and they are constantly churning because they feel the arrival of a powerful enemy.
Give him that excitement. The nobles of the "War King Domain" must be nearby.
"On it. I'm afraid Arudiaru is on the outside deck—"
It was as if it was a premonition of confirming the ancient city. Yukina looked up and said. Like the ancient city, she must have sensed the location of Dimitoriye Vatora through the vision of the sword witch.
"Deck...... ? How do you get there? ”
"Go this way, Senpai"
Yukina pointed to the staircase in the corner of the venue, and walked through the crowd.
She turned her head and stretched out her hand to the ancient city that was in a hurry. The ancient city didn't have any doubts about wanting to hold it back.
At that moment, a silver flash of light shot towards the ancient city with a murderous aura. The light that radiates is essentially a shining flame snake. It was a beast wrapped in a scorching vampire. And the beast that came at a speed like a meteor was extremely slow in the eyes of the ancient city.
With the level of magic on the flame snake, it is far from being a pure-blooded vampire's beast, and it is just a grocery at best.
However, it's such a grocery, even if a weaker old-generation vampire comes, and if he takes a blow, I'm afraid he will have to lose half his life if he doesn't die, and a human being, let alone an ordinary human, even if it's a powerful demon attacker, it will be difficult to escape death!
But the ancient city didn't take the flame snake that was attacking at its speed like a meteor in the slightest.
Because, he is the true ancestor!
He didn't even bother to look at it, he didn't even bother to move his hands, and the ancient city stood motionless like this, and a powerful lightning burst out from him.
In an instant, the entire body of the ancient city was surrounded by dazzling lightning, and powerful thunder and lightning were released to meet the flame snake.
There was no stalemate, and there was no so-called collision, the flame snake was smashed by the powerful electric current, and there was not even a trace of magic residue left, and it was directly pinched into nothingness!
At the same time that the pure white flame snake dissipated, the lightning of the ancient city also disappeared.
"Come out, you're the, Wattola!"
Gucheng knew that this must be Vatola wanting to test his strength, but he was underestimating him.
, suddenly remembered the scattered applause.
It was the man in white who clapped his hands. It seems that he was happy that the ancient city had defended itself against his attack.
"Oops, good job. Sure enough, a beast of this level can't hurt you at all."
The man said lightly. An innocent voice without any tension.
"You don't think down on my Fourth True Ancestor, Vatola!
He walked to the ancient city and knelt down on one knee and respectfully performed aristocratic courtesy.
"Verify your martial arts in such a rude way to me. Faithfully apologize. My name is Dimitoriye Vatora, and our true ancestor, the Forgotten War King, has bestowed upon me the title of Duke of Arudiaru. It is my highest honor to have you here tonight—"
"I know." The ancient city said coldly, but suddenly looked into the distance and drank: "The people hiding over there, when do you want to see it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, at this moment, several silver flashes shot towards the ancient city with murderous aura.
But the ancient city didn't even bother to move, only a thick and terrifying magic power surged out of him, and the magic power rolled up a huge storm to scatter the silver light.
"Box ~ Box ~ Box ~ Box"
As the crisp sound sounded, the ancient city clearly saw that in fact, the silver light was nothing more than a few silver forks.
But the ancient city didn't take back its magic, and the furious magic struck towards the place where the silver fork flew as if it had been guided.
"Peng"
"Ah——!h
As the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, the sound of a girl crying out in pain also reached the ears of the ancient city.
It was a young girl who landed. Although he is close to 170 centimeters tall, he looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old. Long chestnut hair, snow-white skin. A beautiful face that catches the eye. The slender figure is very compatible with the cheongsam-style dress on the body.
But at this time, she stood up regardless of etiquette and pointed at the ancient city and scolded: "You guy, why are you attacking me!" ”
"I should have said that, right?"
The girl in front of her should be the one who attacked her with a silver fork just now, but there was a murderous aura hidden in her attack, but she was noticed by the ancient city and locked the breath and calculated her.
In fact, before he climbed the 'Tomb of the Sea God', the ancient city noticed that someone was quietly observing him and Yukina, but because the distance was too far away, and this person seemed to be able to reduce his sense of existence, he never knew where that person was.
And when climbing the 'Tomb of the Sea God', the ancient city has not been able to find time to investigate.
In other words, from the very beginning, the ancient city was already aware of the existence of the girl.
This invisible contest was destined to end with the victory of the Fourth True Ancestor of the Ancient City of Hexiao from the very beginning.
The girl has no chance of winning. (Markne)
