Chapter 175

Only half an eye was visible.

Faced with this sudden, unprecedented 【Great Crisis】, the two of them momentarily didn't know how to respond.

……

As the giant dragon's massive body slowly descended from the sky, the violent wind elements vanished along with it.

Only then did Lumine steady her stance.

She finally had the leisure to attend to other matters.

She hurriedly pulled from her waist that ordinary yet so-called "legendary" six-star dull blade.

She twirled a beautiful sword flower.

Holding it before her!

No matter what, even if many of her abilities had been sealed by that unknown god, she would not sit idle and await death.

If that giant dragon opened its bloody maw wide and bit at her?

Then, even at the cost of bleeding, she would knock out one of its teeth.

Moreover, she did not believe she would lose.

Just as a bead of sweat slid down her forehead and she braced herself, a pretty white-haired girl jumped down from the dragon's back.

She bent over, hands propped on her knees, and let out a "Ugh"... dry heaving.

What?

Someone was on the dragon's back?

Seeing the girl, who was exceptionally beautiful yet pale-faced, Lumine was bewildered.

Dragon riding?

A dragon knight?

"Are you okay?"

"Ayaka!"

Another person jumped down.

A man.

He gently and tenderly patted the back of the girl from before.

These two must be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?

"N-no, I'm fine, it's just the first time... not used to it... *cough cough*!"

Seeing this scene, Lumine became even more bewildered.

What in the world is going on?

They rode the dragon here?

So, that dragon is their pet?

Just as she was bewildered, the giant dragon suddenly let out an ear-splitting roar.

Its wings flapped, stirring up a strong gust that blew Lumine's long hair into a wild dance like golden snakes.

(Is it coming?)

Lumine gripped her dull blade tightly, her gaze becoming firm and sharp.

"Hahahaha~"

From the dragon's back, another burst of laughter rang out.

Clear as silver bells.

Lumine was once again drawn in by this sudden laughter.

Someone else?

Three people?

"This Ayaka is too weak."

As the voice faded, a young girl jumped down lightly.

Lumine looked at her in surprise.

Paimon couldn't help but form an 'O' with her mouth.

This young girl actually, actually has a tail?

And two of them?!

Swinging back and forth, they completely captured everyone's attention.

Lu Shu turned his head to glance over, utterly speechless: "Are you Brother Jie? Where are your glasses? Hurry up and take them off to unleash your true nature."

"How did you know about the glasses? But I'm not wearing any."

Qi Qi Liangliang asked curiously.

Lu Shu rolled his eyes (￣_￣): You damn well really are 'Brother Jie'.

"Dragonite, shrink."

Following Lu Shu's command.

Before the stunned eyes of Lumine and Paimon, that dozens-of-meters-tall, yellow, fat dragon began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, shrinking, shrinking, shrinking...

Until it was finally only a little over two meters tall.

Lumine was completely dumbfounded; she had never seen a dragon that could grow larger or smaller.

Although she had seen dragons before.

She had also seen those that could freely transform between human form and beast form.

"Are... are you okay?"

Lu Shu suddenly turned his head to look at Yinggen Sect, his eyes filled with worry.

He had not intentionally meant to scare that scoundrel Ying.

However, Ayaka's physical condition made him somewhat worried.

He hadn't expected that the Dragonite was just getting started; with simple acceleration, Ayaka's entire body felt as though she were riding a roller coaster.

Her stomach churned violently.

Having no choice, Lu Shu could only order the Dragonite to land.

Coincidentally, he also spotted Sister Ying.

He gently patted Ayaka's back; it took quite a while before she recovered.

When Lu Shu turned to look at Ying, a ridiculous scene fell before his eyes.

He couldn't help but want to burst out laughing.

Fortunately, he held it in!

"I'm fine."

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"But you two... who are you people?"

"And is this dragon your mount?"

Although the three before her appeared very easygoing, Ying still gripped her blunt sword tightly, standing on high alert.

"But I think... you seem to be in quite a bit of trouble."

Lu Shu pointed at Ying and said with a smile.

Qi Qi Liangliang took one glance and also let out a 'pfft', unable to hold back her laughter.

And what about Kamisato Ayaka?

She had finally managed to stand up with great difficulty.

Upon seeing the ridiculous sight of Ying and Paimon, she hugged her stomach and squatted down on the beach again.

"Hee hee hee hee~"

"No good!"

"My stomach hurts so much."

At this moment, even Ying, slow to react as she was, realized something.

Hiss!

My scalp hurts so much!

What's going on?
