> Brother Reiner... Mom, they're going to be okay, are they?" Looking at the floating island in the distant sky that was slowly flying towards the center of Babylon, Mai Trin's eyes were full of worry.

&Lu Jiu's words will definitely be fine!"

&Harpy is right, if it were the teachers, there would be no problem..."Squatting down and rubbing Mai Trin's head, Reiner picked Mai Chorto up with his hand, "Let's make a cake!"

&

& A surprise to welcome the teachers back... How?"

&Moms' surprise?"

&Oh yes, if you know it's a cake made by Mai Trin, the teachers will be very happy~"

Nodding her little head vigorously, Mai Trito jumped out of Reiner's arms and grabbed his arm, "Let's make a cake!!, Brother Reiner!"

> Harpy is going to join in!"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time, the streets of Babylon were crowded with people watching.

&See, what's that?"

>> There are islands that float in the air..."

&It can't be the Hanging Garden>s of Babylon's ancient legends

While the residents were discussing this never-before-seen empty island, the city lord's mansion in the [Ironforge] in the central region of Babylon had already exploded.

Originally, after confirming that this empty island was the legendary [Hanging Garden], the lord of Babylon almost fainted with excitement more than once.

However, before the Lord of Babylon could convey this joy, Sven Dodge, known as the Storm Hammer, the sixth-level guardian of Babylon, hurriedly rushed over and demanded that the Lord of Babylon immediately give an order for the residents of Ironforge to evacuate as quickly as possible.

& Mr. Wen... Isn't it a good thing to discover the [Hanging Garden], it's an ancient legacy of Babylon!"

"Lord, I know how excited you are... But just now, several rounds of conflicts with sixth-level strength had broken out in the direction of the church! And now, on the so-called [Hanging Garden], there is an energy intensity that completely surpasses the sixth... It is obvious that the reappearance of the [Hanging Garden] this time is man-made, and the direction of the garden is [Ironforge Castle]. The possibility cannot be ruled out that this is the target of the masterminds behind the manipulation of the garden. Kneeling on one knee and setting the hammer aside, Swain's body vaguely revealed a temperament that made people want to believe him.

&>> Mr. Lenswin... Do you also have to worry about the power of scruples?" The city lord was obviously not a fool, and he quickly understood what Sven meant, since it was an energy that surpassed the sixth level, it meant that the mastermind behind the scenes might be a seventh-level powerhouse.

With a sigh, the city lord said to the most trusted butler behind him, "Pass the order, let the residents of [Iron Furnace Castle] withdraw from Iron Furnace Castle as soon as possible... Also, let all the city guards keep a good eye on the movements of the [Hanging Garden] for me, and give priority to Mr. Swain's orders!"

Wait until the old butler steps back. The city lord pulled Swain, who was kneeling on one knee, up, with trepidation, "Mr. Swain, is there a good plan?"

"I can pray..."Helplessly looking at the hanging garden that was once the pride of ancient Babylon, "Pray that one of the two sides of the conflict is the taste of justice..."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Twisted guy..."Severed his left hand, which was covered in green ice crystals, and then countless crows reassembled the broken parts.

Flapping his black wings, the golden scepter struck on Lu Jiu's frost sorrow, and a hideous expression appeared on the original ancient well, "Obviously just an ant, I dare to go against the gods..."

> Righteousness will win, this is the inevitable result!" looked at Hazy with disdain, Lu Jiu's heart. The triumph of good over evil is a matter of course. At the same time, in order to deal with the opponent's scepter, Lu Jiu deliberately summoned [Brionark], which is also a long-handled weapon.

Isn't that a matter of course!!" Wildly waving the scepter in his hand, his nerves becoming more and more excited, "It doesn't matter if he's righteous or evil, this kind of thing can be rewritten no matter how much it is! Isn't it the one who stands at the top! Justice will triumph, and there is nothing wrong with it! Because only the victor is right!!"

As the speed of Hazy's speech increased, the frequency of the scepter in his hand continued to rise.

Rumble!

The flapping of the black wings made a sonic boom.

&

One of Lu Jiu's green crystal wings was ripped off. Shatters fell into the air.

&Is there a gap between !! god and the ant, and I'm justice!!"

>I'm going to be kidding!" waved his stump wings. The tip of the scarlet spear was sent into the heart of the hazy heart, "The so-called justice is to do the right thing with a good heart! Your [justice], I don't admit it!"

>I'm going to live in my own world!!" kicked Lu Jiu into the mound of the hanging garden, splashing countless smoke and dust, and the pierced heart was also repaired by countless black birds.

Slowly flapping his wings and falling back to the ground, Hao didn't believe that the nine-tailed fox girl who could survive his poison would die so easily, he had to find her and mend the knife.

&Be too underestimating people!" Under the cover of thick smoke and dust, at the moment when Hao was about to land, two figures, one blue and one chestnut, rushed out and pierced Hazy's body.

&Yes, the body is so tattered... Don't you give up!!" Grabbing Asuna and Shinnu's heads with both hands, the stabbed wound still left no trace.

The hands holding the girl's head became tighter and tighter, looking at the girls struggling in pain, Hao stretched out his tongue and licked the dry lips, "It's been a long time since I crushed the watermelon..."

Stop!! "With only one wing left, Lu Jiu, who was holding two knives, broke through the smoke and slashed straight in the direction of the hazy.

Throwing away the two girls like garbage, the scepter-wielding haze easily blocked Lu Jiu's attack, "In this world, no matter what kind of attack is futile... Give it up!"

& Kind of thing... Let's wait until you eat my next attack!!!" The speed of the double blades that kept swinging back and forth became faster and faster, as if they had endless physical strength, and even the blocked Haze showed a stunned look.

Closing his eyes, Lu Jiu shouted out the skill "Secret Sword-Yan Anti-!!" that he had learned from Krokdarna

At the same time, all the six slashes that crossed space, space and space greeted Hao's body.

Throw away the two Noble Phantasms and use your feet to hook up the Magic Spear [Brionark] that fell to the ground when it was shot down.

A scarlet air pressure erupted around Lu Jiu, and the big silver waves fluttered in the wind from bottom to top, and the scarlet spear head was aimed at the haze who was still repairing his body like a hungry wolf, "Bombard him! Bombard the five-star !!"

Five huge blood holes appeared on his chest, hands, and feet at the same time, plus the previous attacks of Asuna and Shinnu and the damage of Yan Yan, and at this time, Hao's whole person was dyed the color of blood.

&Hahaha..."Twisting his head, shaking the blood stains on his hair, he opened his voice and laughed loudly, "It's useless, no matter how much I attack, my injuries will be repaired!!"

&But not necessarily..."After playing a beautiful spear flower, Lu Jiu leaned back and sat on the sofa formed by her tail, "Take a closer look at your wound!"

& ... Why, it's not repaired?Damn, why is the wound frozen!!" angrily looked at the bloody hole on his body, and yelled at Lu Jiu hysterically, "What the hell did you do to me!!"

>> that's it..."Flicking the Frost Sorrow's sword, Lu Jiu changed to a comfortable position and continued, "From the first time you deliberately cut off my frozen arm, I began to suspect that although your wounds can be quickly healed by these crows, they can't untie my green ice..."

&Yes... Whether it's Yan anti just now, or the real name is Jiefang... You're using another Phantasm!!"

>> Well, that's to lower your vigilance. As for why you have ice on your body, this is also very easy to explain, just like I can use skills such as palm thunder and frost without summoning a treasure, I passed this characteristic on another treasure!"

&Evil... Even if you do this, even if you block this prologue...[New World] will still come! Not dying here will be the thing you regret the most in your life! That man will bring you absolute despair and darkness... Uhh!!h

As Hazy was frozen in, his [Inherent Enchantment] began to crumble gradually, and the surrounding environment fell like a falling wallpaper, returning to its original appearance.

Finding the messenger and Asuna who had been beaten away, Lu Jiu put their hands on her neck, and then the three of them limped up to the high platform...

Looking at the sapphire that was the original driving force for the entire hanging garden, Lu Jiu put her hand on it.

The blue light like the sea suddenly lit up, and the sapphire, which had only used up a third of its energy, sucked Lu Jiu's arm tightly, and then the remaining energy in the gem drilled frantically into Lu Jiu's body.

"Jiu, are you alright!" Looking at Lu Jiu, whose face was painful and dripping with cold sweat, Asuna couldn't help but want to help her remove her hand from the gem, but before she could touch Lu Jiu's hand, she was bounced away by a blue transparent aperture.

"It's okay..."Nodding to Asuna and Shinnu, indicating that she was okay, Lu Jiu closed her eyes tightly.

After about ten minutes, the energy of the gem was completely absorbed by Lu Jiu's body, and the blue color completely faded, turning into an ordinary stone and rolling to the ground. (To be continued......)
