From the gap that suddenly opened the space, a man and a woman appeared, two knights in silver armor.

Among them, the appearance of the female side immediately made the sisters present and Hilda raise their vigilance at the same time.

Because this female knight is the kidnapper who visited here not long ago and tried to kidnap Eliza.

"Although I have seen it in police movies, criminals often have the courage to return to the scene of the crime, but I didn't expect it to be true......!"

Alice shielded her sister behind her and turned her gun in a blatant hostility towards the female knight. Her toes gently crush the sand on the ground, ready to burrow into her opponent's arms and deliver heavy blows.

Although after that incident, she also praised the other party's handsome outfit and wonderful combat skills behind her back, but that was just an objective evaluation of her appearance, and it didn't mean that Alice had much affection for these thieves who tried to kidnap her sister.

The young knight was a new face he had seen for the first time, and he was not the last time he had walked with a female knight. But even so, the mere fact that she and the female knight wore the same style of armor was enough to justify hostility.

"Hilda...... Miss Lachi, I'll leave it to you first. ”

"I see, Miss Sophia, please be careful. ”

Receiving the order, the steel maid immediately lit up the jet behind her, and rushed into the sky with a blast, using the artillery bombardment to attract the attention of the demon dragon, and using her amazing mobility to engage in a deft guerrilla war with Lachi.

Sophia, who had her hands free, flashed to Alice's side for a moment, and she silently shot out a cold murderous aura and joined the ranks of the two knights in the confrontation.

"The maid over there seems to be stronger than when I saw it before......"

The female knight cast her gaze high into the sky with interest, gazing at Hilda, who was dancing around the dragon's spit beams.

"Yes~~ Hilda has become stronger~~ But this is also a blessing for you to Sister Knight~~" Arize, who was hidden in the back row by her sisters, was the only one who had no nervousness at all, and put her little hand on her waist with a smile, and boasted to herself triumphantly, "Hmph~~ I dare to say, Sister Knight, and the big brother over there~~ Even if you are on one piece, you will never ~~ Won't it be Hilda's opponent~~?"

"Ahhh......h It can be seen that after all, she is fighting against the cataclysmic demon dragon...... I wonder how you created this monster. At least, the former Edward definitely didn't have this ability. ”

The female knight's straightforward praise made the two sisters in the front row show an unhappy look at the same time, and when Alice just wanted to refute something, it was rare, Sophia took the first step and said-

"Woman...... Give me watch out for your wording. You remember, the maid who is fighting over there is our family, our dearest, and even soon, may become our mother...... If you dare to spit out another word like 'monster', I promise it will make it a little easier for you above your neck in the next second......!"

"Sorry, I used the wrong words...... But well...... Oh, Mother, is that the relationship between that guy and the maid? I heard that he took in a lot of maids, do you think he ......?"

In the face of Sophia's murderous threat, the female knight was not only unmoved, but also joked about the other party's father, I really don't know if she was missing a tendon, or deliberately used it to provoke the opponent.

In short, in the next second, just like the forehead of the girl's declaration, the pitch-black blade cut a slash beyond the speed of sound, and slashed straight towards the snow-white head and neck of the female knight.

Ping--!

It's a pity that the pitch-black battle knife still failed to roll up the opponent's head after all, because a light purple blade suddenly invaded halfway, blocking the trajectory of the slash. Sophia's eyes gleamed with anger as she glared at her opponent, and two ponytails were flying in the air.

It turned out to be a chestnut-haired young knight on the side, and with incredible reaction speed, she stepped in and saved her companion.

- So fast! It's faster than Asbel's [Light Slashing Sword]......! How did such a young girl learn such exquisite combat skills!

With an exclamation in his heart, the young knight defended himself while maintaining the posture of blocking the blade.

"Don't get me wrong! Mira...... My companion is not very good at talking, but not out of malice! I apologize for anything wrong! But be assured, we are not here with ill intent! My name is Chris! I am a knight! And your father, Count Lutga Kurusnir, is to me a fellow companion of the former 'Knights'!"

"If you want me to believe you, what happened when you tried to kidnap my sister before?"

"That's a false order from someone in the name of a superior nobleman!"

"In that case, why are you here now?"

"To seal the dragon, of course, its existence threatens the peace of the Empire. ”

At this time, Sophia recalled that when the demon dragon appeared, the female knight named Mira was also one of the people present, so after she returned to the imperial capital, she would inevitably convey this information to her superiors, and then organize reinforcements to rush back here to deal with it.

Intelligence that at first glance sounds plausible. However, in the eyes of expert informants, it is full of loopholes.

"You said to seal the Demon Dragon, and it turned out to be the two of you, what can you do?"

If you want to deal with a natural disaster-level demonic beast, even if you send an army of the whole country, it is not too much.

"My holy sword has the power to cut through dimension and space. Originally, it was the power of this holy sword that sealed the demon dragon in the 'Illusory Realm' thousands of years ago, isolating their bodies from the real world!"

"Just a sword?"

Sophia's eyes narrowed, feeling a little incredulous. The sword, at best, is just a kind of cold weapon, and in terms of length, mass, and function, it is impossible to imagine how to seal such a behemoth.

"After nightfall today, when we were about to cast the seal, the Abyss Dragon suddenly went berserk......!

"It's your fault that Raki went crazy for a long time!!"

Just then, an angry voice interrupted the young knight's speech, and rushed to her.

That's Alice...... Although her speed was not as fast as Sophia, her charge and magnificent momentum were not lost to the crazy Qingyuan Dragon at all.

The golden fighting spirit burst out from the bottom of the girl's palm, and hit the sword body of the so-called 'holy sword' hard, blasting the young knight out with the sword.

- Golden vindictive!?Has she reached Mr. Whitehouse's strength!?

As he tumbled along the ground, the young knight Chris remembered an old man, the Empire's strongest adventurer. Then he was so stunned that he even forgot to regain his form. He couldn't believe that these young girls in front of him could show such extraordinary strength one after another.

When he listened to his companion Mira's account before, he was only half-convinced, even the moment they met just now, he thought that he could fight against the demon dragon, it was all the credit of the maid who flew freely and was covered with unknown weapons.

Now it seems that the girls in front of them, they are all likely to be strong enough to compete with the demon dragon.

Alice was about to give chase, but was stopped by an unexpected voice.

"Wait, wait, wait~Sister, little sister~~Don't be in a hurry~~Don't fight if you don't agree~~ Let the big brother ...... Oh, no, no...... Since I was at the same time as my father, I should call him uncle...... Anyway, let's let my uncle finish talking first~~"

Alize didn't have her sister's phantom-like speed, nor her sister's meteor-like momentum, she just walked slowly to the two sisters with small broken steps.

Knight Chris didn't finally stop until he hit a towering icicle. He struggled to his feet, his fingers wiping away the blood from biting his lip.

"Chris, why are you being attacked all of a sudden? Did you say something you shouldn't have said?"

The female knight Mira came to her companion's side, she didn't worry much, but stretched out her hand with a puzzled expression, made a gesture of support, and then put on a helpless expression and added, "I have always said that when dealing with others, do not forget etiquette and honesty. You're too easy to offend, Chris. ”

- I don't want you to say that!

In the end, Chris swallowed back in his stomach, because he knew Mira's character too well.

"Thank you very much...... Willing to let me finish my sentence. It's just that, before that...... Chris's expression was very sad, probably because he had fallen and injured something, in short, he said with an extremely painful and serious expression to the cute girl who pleaded for himself before and was full of smiles, "Please...... Don't call me uncle! I'm only twenty-seven years old!"

It has to be said that for unmarried men, this can be called the most delicate and sensitive age.

"So you're worried about this, hey......!"

“............”

"Aha, ahahahaha~~ Okay, okay, big brother~~ You're such an interesting person~~Ahahahaha~~"

The three sisters responded with three very different reactions.

Then, seeing that the sisters had calmed down, Arize began to ask Chris all sorts of questions. It probably revolves around 'what did the demon dragon do before it went berserk' and 'what kind of abilities does the holy sword have'.

During this period, of course, he did not forget to take the holy sword into his hand and observe it carefully, and he took a good look at it. Elize's jubilant eyes made Alice feel a little worried, and it was exactly the same as her sister's expression when she dissected the monster...... She was afraid that Alize would be impulsive and melt the holy sword......

"What an interesting weapon~~ What kind of material is it made of...... Let me test its melting point~~?"

Isn't that what this is all about......?

It took a lot of effort to convince her to give up the idea. After all, the 'holy sword' or something, no matter how you listen to it, it should be a national treasure, and if it is broken casually, it is definitely not something that the small nobles on the border can afford to lose.

After summarizing the questions, Alizel came to the conclusion -

"I'm afraid it's uncle...... The eldest brother's [Dimensional Slash] accidentally cut off Sister Laqi's body and consciousness~~ So, the Abyss Dragon became like other magical beasts, and fell into a rage because the demon core was out of control~~ Sure enough, the initial speculation was correct. ”

"Is the consciousness of the dragon turned into a human form...... and what a new attempt. The female knight Mira cupped her chin, pondered for a moment, and continued, "I understand the situation, as promised at the beginning, the task of containing the Qingyuan Dragon here will be entrusted to me." Although we did not know about it beforehand, there is no doubt that the development of the situation is the result of the reckless actions of the two of us. I will take responsibility for that. ”

“............”

Chris was silent at the mention of this, he looked a little reluctant. Probably because he didn't want to put his colleagues in danger.

In the eyes of the three sisters, today's Mira does not show any hostile intentions.

All kinds of performances reflect that she is basically a straight-hearted person, so straight that she doesn't speak much through her brain...... Other than that, she can be regarded as an upright knight.

"Then Sister Knight, I'll leave you here~~ We will rush back to save you as soon as possible~~"

The first to bear the brunt of the promise was that she was almost kidnapped by Ali Ze before, which surprised the two sisters.

"Is it really okay to believe her......? Can she contain the demon dragon alone?"

Faced with her sister's question, Alyse replied confidently in place of Mira, "It's no problem~~ That knight sister is not simple, if she and her 'friends' use all their strength~~ Even Sister Laqi is helpless~~It's just that~~ Today is one less than the last time we met~~"

Of course, last time there was a tall sword knight, and a young man with amazing sword speed, this time there was only Chris, and it was indeed one less.

But despite this, the way Arizel behaves is still strange.

"Guys?"

There is only one companion for Chris, and it is obviously singular, so why add a 'we'?" Alice tilted her head, feeling a little puzzled.

"You...... Can you actually see 'those'?"

Chris himself, however, reacted to Elize's words with a look of surprise.

"I can't see it~~ However, who has such a strong magic pattern reaction, even if there is no visual cognition, you can clearly feel the existence of 'them'~~"

Just as Alice was further confused by these words, she heard Mira raise her head and shout at Hilda in the sky.

"Miss maid, that's enough, I'll deal with it next!Please get out of that area as soon as possible!"

Hilda's expression was also uncertain, but immediately after that, even Alize gave the same order remotely, so she had no choice but to light up the thrusters with doubts and drive away from the airspace where the dragon was fighting.

Then, everyone present finally saw what Ariser meant by 'friends'.

"The Holy Spirit of the Wind - Siruf, the Holy Spirit of Fire - Ifrit, the Holy Spirit of Water - Wentiny, the Holy Spirit of the Earth - Nome, the Holy Spirit of Light - Aska, the Holy Spirit of Darkness - Shadom, the Holy Spirit of Ice - Zelucios...... Saintly Throne Elves who control all the elements of the world! Here, in the name of the Alliance Master, I order that you manifest your form in the 'present realm'!"

The female knight Mira prayed like a saint, and then evoked a burst of colorful light.

The colorful particles continue to gather, expand, and finally condense into one glorious figure after another. Some of them are humanoids, some are animals, and some are like youkai that have appeared in legends.

The so-called 'Holy Throne Elf' appeared at Mira's call.

The colorful and brilliant figures quickly dispersed, keeping a distance between each other, forming a large circle and forming a huge circle.

A towering and colorful curtain of light emerged from above the circle, completely enveloping the dragon's body in it.

As an enchantment magic, this seven-colored curtain composed of a circle array is obviously a lot higher than the previous [Mirror Realm Light Prison], because, no matter how much Raki wields the dragon claw and sprays the dragon's breath, the wall composed of the light curtain will not move at all.

"That's pretty much it...... Although there is one missing, Ray's holy spirit, Volut, is not here, and he has stayed on the side of the city of [Enoses] in my place. However, just the action of sealing the demon dragon for six or seven days, relying on a few of them alone should be more than enough. ”

Holy Elves - This is the highest fantasy life form in elven magic.

Alize couldn't help but be a little ecstatic to be able to witness these miraculous lives.

She longed to stay with Ratche, and took the opportunity to study it well, but she was forcibly dragged back by the two sisters. Without further ado, they must travel overnight to search for Rachi's traces.

The maid who watched the steel picked up the little girls one by one, turned her back to the night sky, and spewed flames to fly away. Through the colorful curtain, Mira turned her gaze back to the direction of her colleague Chris, and said, "You go back to [Enoses] first and report the current situation to everyone in the expeditionary force. ”

"Mira...... You ......"

Chris stopped talking.

"Needless to say, I know better than anyone what will happen if I do this. But this is the belief that we should have as a human being and as a knight, and it is also a mission that we must fulfill. That's what you seem to have taught me, I remember. ”

"Understood...... I will be back shortly. Chris clenched the holy sword in his hand with a sad face, "But if those girls fail and fail to find the lost 'personality' of the so-called demon dragon, then ...... I had to—"
