Part 27

The moment he donned the Ark… Ash stood up straight. The unbearable pain had disappeared and it felt like he had grown wings. The thickness of the Ark felt thicker than the first two Arks and it looked more like a ball overall. He felt safe just by wearing it. But now was not the time to enjoy that safe feeling. Ash locked on to the Necromancia in front of him and jumped towards it. He first punched the Necromancia that had captured Eco with his Manoplas. Next… He kicked the monster that captured Lucca with his Escarpes. The massive amount of magic, contained in the red striped white Ark, exploded and the two dragons crumbled into ash and effectively disappeared..

“Ouch-!”

Ash groaned.

Even though the Ark had the effect of absorbing most of the repulsive force. It's still reckless for him to engage in hand to hand combat with Necromancia. The pain in his bones made him struggle. It also seemed that the Ark couldn't totally suppress his pain. But he didn't back down in this situation.

“Kyaaaa!”

The moment the tentacles disappeared… Eco and Lucca fell from mid-air.

Ash immediately slid towards the bottom of the two and managed to secure both of them right before they hit the ground… The entire process spanned less than two seconds.

“Are both of you alright?”

Ash helped them to stand up. Lucca instantly nodded her head in reply but Eco on the other hand was quite verbally angry...

“What the hell is wrong with you! That Ark only strengthens the ‘defence’! It is not for you to use it for punching and kicking!”

“S-Sorry...”

Ash initially was intimidated by Eco and apologized. But without delay he changed his mind:

“Now is not the time to worry about those things. No? Of course I’m trying to save you!”

But the current situation didn't allow Ash to explain anymore than that.

“…Here it comes.”

Ash was dragged back into reality by Lucca's warning and immediately put up a fighting posture. The fight between Lancelot and Nuada was still in a stalemate. On the other hand… The remaining seven Asia type Necromancia were still trying to attack the trio. The stench of the rotting smell had suddenly became stronger. Eco angrily ordered.

“This Ark was not made so you can fool around with it! Use the Ark Weapon immediately!”

“Understood!”

Ash focused his mind and attention to the Ark. The information regarding the Ark Weapon, that came together with the Ark, was sent into his mind. After receiving that information Ash smiled.

“Appear… The invincible magic shield!”

There was a flash followed together with the spell. The space in front of Ash started to bend and there was a crack. The, as yet unknown, Ark Weapon appeared slowly from the crack.

“Aegis!” [6]

The same time Ash shouted its name… The Aegis shields appeared. It's front looked like a dragon’s head and was made up of five units together. All of the five units were flying around under Ash’s command. When they had surrounded the Asia type Necromancia… The shields then projected colourful lights. These units were not normal shields. They all had the characteristics of a magic cannon. The continuous lights that were attacking the Asia type Necromancia were like spider webs. Not only that… there were some unexpected weird changes on the Necromancia that were directly struck by the lights. In a very short time, they had become stones. Aegis was not releasing the usual degree of attacking type magic.

That was a high level magic that, upon coming into contact with the light, turned living things into stone . Even though it is from one of the dangerous areas of magic, named in the list of banned spells by the Knight Country, now was not the time to act like a good model citizen. In just a few seconds time all seven Necromancias had turned into stones. Ash breathed a sigh relief and withdrew Aegis’s magic.

“Thank you, Eco.”

“N-Nothing… And I’m not even doing this for you.”

Eco turned her face aside but her face was definitely blushing. Ash gave a dry smile but now was still not the time to lower their guard. Anyway... Silvia was piloting Lancelot with all her skill as they fought Nuada one on one. It was a situation where both of their front legs were interlocked somewhat like in a wrestling match. For attacks each of them use magic and tail swipes for advantage.

“Princess! I’ll be there to help you in a short moment!”

Ash who was prepared to help had met a blank wall.

“I don’t need any help! Go and capture Milgauss! Lancelot and I will calm down Nuada's spirit.”

Silvia’s talk made Ash speechless. Silvia was really angry. Even so… she still hasn't lost her cool. She had sworn to defeat Nuada in the name of the Royal Knight’s Family and perhaps she truly thought that this is her mission.

“Roger that! Princess I’ll leave it in your hands!”

After Ash shouted back to Silvia he started running. Right in front of him was Nuada's tombstone. The tip of the slanting winged cross was pointing at the hole of the ceiling. Milgauss was still standing at the side of the hole looking down. Ash jumped towards the sky along the side of the winged cross and stepped on the middle of it, gave himself a hop, landing on the tip of the wing and continued to jump up from there. With the aid of the Ark… Ash accomplished a jump that a normal human couldn't do. His body passed up and through the hole of the ceiling. The misty air of the inner part of the cave had suddenly become replaced by the fresh and cool nighttime air. However… The air was very cold and it didn't seem like summer anymore. At the top of the nearby hills there were many stubs of bare rock. Luckily, although the surroundings were dark, the Ark produced a dim light. Also, since he had been in the dark cave for a long time, his eyes were already used to the darkness.

“Milgauss!”

Ash started a fight with Milgauss. Although Eco was mad about it he still chose to use hand to hand combat which was the easiest. He remembered the time when he met Milgauss for the first time in the forest. Ash didn't even have the ability to fight back during that time. Because, before he managed to land a hit on Milgauss, Ash was ambushed by Milgauss's underling. He was nearly killed by that girl. But the situation right now was different. Ash was protected by Eco’s Ark and he had decided to KO his opponent in one hit.

But-

With only his left hand Milgauss, had blocked Ash’s right punch. He had focused all his strength in that punch too.

“How is this possible…?”

“Hmph. Is the strength of an Ark-Dragner just like this?”

“Urgh…”

He couldn't move his right hand at all. It was similar to being clenched by a pair of pliers.

“This proves that you are just a fake.”

Milgauss's tone was as cold as iron. There was a gigantic sword in his right hand.

“Wha…!”

Ash widened his eyes in disbelief. It was as if the sword was made out of darkness. The large bright-dragon-crystals mounted on the hilt definitely proved it was not an ordinary sword.

“A fake like you has no right to touch me.”

-A flash from the black sword.

There was a sudden black gust. Ash, whose right hand was now handicapped, had nowhere to run to. He could only use the Manoplas on his left hand to protect himself. As if a big hammer was hitting his head, the impact passed through his body in a short moment. The impact was so strong that even the Ark couldn't endure it fully.

“*Cough...*”

“Where is your big talk just now?”

Milgauss let go of Ash’s right hand and then wielded the gigantic sword with both hands. Then then lifted the sword brought it down all in one motion.

“Guak!”

The dark metal blade sunk into his abdomen. In that short moment… Ash felt that his waist was going to be chopped in two. Then the Ark made a ‘click’ sound. Even the Ark was groaning…

“-Aegis!”

Obviously, Milgauss was not an opponent for him to fight with in hand to hand combat. So Ash re-summoned Aegis. The five units split out immediately and attacked Milgauss. As long as a light managed to hit him, he will then turn into a stone.

“Too slow!”

But Milgauss, with extraordinary nimble moves, avoided all the light rays. Then he swung the black sword at a lightning speed. The units were being attacked and destroyed by a tornado-like slash. One after another they disappeared.

“What is he actually made of…!”

After Ash groaned, he was on his knees. The amount of magic collected in the Ark had a limit and Ash felt that the armour was slowly disappearing. After Milgauss dealt with the five units his target had shifted once again to Ash. He gave Ash a kick without any delay. Even with the protection of the Ark, the impact was still transmitted into his abdomen.

“*-Cough!*”

Ash was out of breath and was kicked around like a puppet. He finally landed hard, with his back facing the rocks. Blood started flowing out from his mouth…

“Ku…”

Ash spit out saliva with blood in it and immediately hid behind the rock. The size of the rock was just enough to keep him hidden.

“Hmph. Are you trying to hide to drag out the time?”

Ash remained silent. He was sitting at the back of the rock waiting for a good moment. His body was in a mess and he probably had only one more chance…

-Ssss, ssss…

Milgauss was not buying any of his tricks and marched right towards Ash.

“Anything wrong right there? Can’t you use Aegis?”

Milgauss was probably laughing his ass off right now. Ash answered to himself while thinking of his disgusting face:

“Too bad. I’m out of magic…”

“Luck is not on your side today, shounen.”

Followed by a shout, there was an impact on the rock behind Ash.

Part 28

“Shoo. Shoo…!”

With the aid of the Ark, Ash easily jumped out through the ceiling’s hole but Eco wasn't that lucky. She left Lancelot who was in a brutal fight with Nuada and climbed the huge winged cross.

“W-Wait for me…!”

Looking downwards, she saw Lucca was trying her best to cling onto the winged cross.

“Tsk… Just don’t blame me if you fall.”

Eco stepped on the wing of the winged cross without being bothered by Lucca. If she was not careful––she would definitely fall head down. Her current height was about ten meters. Although, she was frightened by it, she still needed to move forward. Even though she felt guilty, about leaving Lucca, Eco still wanted to rush to Ash’s side as soon as possible. The moment Eco saw the guy called Milgauss, she felt disgusted. She remembered the nightmare that made her wet her bed. She was attacked by a scary dragon in her dream. It had nine eyes, numerous tentacles and was far scarier than a Necromancia…

The unbelievable thing was, the moment she saw Milgauss, the first thing that came into her mind was that dragon. It would have been fine if she was just worrying too much… But just in case Eco’s instinct was right… Then Milgauss was a dangerous being. Eco couldn't guarantee that the Ark has enough power to go against him. Ash’s body condition also worried her. Ash was, even in the beginning, a heavily injured patient. Logically speaking he should rest for a month, but…

But, even after she arrived at the location, apart from making the (mimic) Ark, there was nothing else she could do. It was not surprising that she thought herself to be a burden. Even so… Eco still couldn't calm down her worrisome emotions and chose to climb the winged cross. After some effort Eco finally arrived at the ceiling’s hole. She then took a look up, outside under the cloudy night sky.

“-Huh…?”

Eco had seen it all in that short moment. Milgauss was holding a gigantic sword up high, looking like it had merged together with the night sky, and was going split open a rock. Eco’s instinct told her that Ash was hiding behind the rock. In an direct combat Ash was definitely out of his league. He was now going to be sliced open together with the rock by Milgauss…!

“Ash!”

Eco called out his name in desperation.

Part 29

This blow will definitely crush the rock and Ash into pieces. Milgauss, who thought that he had a sure win, split open the rock in front of him. The rock scattered into tiny fragments and powder. A thick dust spread all over and blocked his sight. After the explosion like power cooled down…

“What…?”

Milgauss remained in the exact posture of his finishing the blow. After most of the dust settled, what was in front of Milgauss was not Ash’s body. A unit in mid-air was pinning on to Milgauss. A light was released from the front of the unit.

“Urgh…!”

Milgauss immediately lifted his left hand to block the light and also slashed the unit with his sword in his right hand. Although Aegis was reduced to light particles, and disappeared, its effect was still ongoing. Milgauss, who felt something was wrong, looked at his own body and saw his left arm starting to turn into stone.

“-Milgauss!”

Ash suddenly came down from the sky. He had used the stone fragments as a screen and used an Aegis unit as a stepping stone to jump… There was no longer an Ark on Ash. He probably used all his magic to summon the two units.

…Wait… He still had his Manoplas on his right hand!

“What an eyesore!”

Milgauss swung the black sword with only his right hand, but he had only manage to destroy the unit that Ash was stepping on.

“Uwooooo!”

Ash, who was experiencing free fall, uses the momentum and swung a punch with the Manoplas. Milgauss immediately put up a defensive posture, with the huge sword above his head, but he still couldn't avoid the powerful impact.

“Urgh…!’

Milgauss was knocked off together with his sword.

Part 30

“Huff, puff… How is this punch?”

At the same time Ash landed, his Manoplas disappeared. He next felt a terrible pain, as though his flesh was being sliced off. But now was not the time for him to show his weak side. Even though Milgauss fell down hard on the ground, he still remains conscious. Ash could only try to bear with his pain.

“Hehe… Weren't you out of magic?”

Milgauss, using the gigantic sword as a walking stick to support himself, slowly stood up. His left arm was hanging freely and lifelessly. It had been converted to stone.

“I didn't say that I couldn't summon Aegis again. It’s you who had been fooled. You had lost.”

“Hmph. I thought you were an idiot who only had strength. So it seems that you can actually do some scheming? But this can only be called as a trick and its still to much to call it a scheme."

After Milgauss made a haughty smile he seemed to remember something… He then pulled off his left arm and threw it to Ash.

“Wha…!”

Ash was staring at the left arm that landed on the ground.

“…Prosthetic arm?”

“That’s right. This is a creation of the Empire’s proud mechanical engineering.”

Ash was clenching his teeth. Ash was not only just a normal human without the protection of the Ark… He was also a seriously injured patient. On the opposing side, Milgauss had only lost a prosthetic arm. He was in a fix. But- Just when Ash lost hope, there was a heroic voice coming from behind him.

“Listen carefully, Milgauss! I Silvia Lautreamont and Lancelot, have altogether defeated the young dragon Nuada's spirit!”

Ash turned around to have a look and cheered happily.

“Princess! Lancelot!”

Nuada's head was still in Lancelot’s mouth when it landed in between Ash and Milgauss. The only word that could describe its condition was 'terrible'. Its white skin had become dirty and was full of blood. Although injured… Lancelot’s blue eyes still looked as if they were full of spirit. Apart from Silvia, who was riding on its back, Eco and Lucca were also there. Lancelot gave a menacing growl, while lowering down its neck, and placed Nuada's head in front of Milgauss. As if it wanted Milgauss to apologize… After Nuada's severed head stared at Milgauss for a short moment, it turned into ashes. In the blink of an eye they were blown off by the nights breeze. After Silvia witnessed the ashes being carried away by the wind she focused her attention back to Milgauss.

“…Princess?”

Ash knew something was wrong with her. In this situation, winning was already in the grasp of their hand. No matter how strong Milgauss was, he would still face trouble when he was going against Silvia. Logically speaking, Silvia should also know about this but she continued to stand still without any reason.

“Hmph… It seems that I must change my opinion towards the Fourth Princess. I’ll withdraw for today.”

Milgauss placed the gigantic sword on his shoulder and slowly retreated.

“But the training campsite had already become a battle field. Just how many of them could survive? I would love to know…” provoked Milgauss.

After that, he jumped out into the night. Surprisingly… He had jumped off the cliff. Even so, from his previous battle experience with Milgauss, Ash knew that he was not just some average ordinary guy. He should have survived the fall. And he would be back… Just as if she had calculated the time, for Milgauss to withdraw, Silvia spoke:

“Thanks a lot, Lancelot. You may take your rest.”

Lancelot immediately bent its knees and laid down and, after closing its eyes, started to snore gently. Silvia first climbed off its back then helped Eco and Lucca down from Lancelot.

“Is Lancelot alright?”

Ash worriedly looked at the sleeping Lancelot.

“Rest assured, it doesn't have any vital injuries. It's just that… It ran out of magic. We only had the strength left to frighten Milgauss just now."

Ash only now knew why Silvia would let him escape. Because she didn't even have the ability left to order him around. Back to the topic, if it was not because of Silvia’s and Lancelot’s intimidation, Ash would have died under Milgauss sword.

“And also, maybe… That guy…”

Silvia’s troubled looks made Ash curious.

“Princess?”

“N-Nothing. Just pretend that I didn't say anything!”

Silvia, panicky, waved Ash off which in turns worried him further. At this instant, Lucca said. “The training campsite is…”

Eco was also looking at the direction of the campsite dumbstruck.

“How come…!”

By following their sight… Ash also turned speechless. Just like Milgauss declared, the training campsite had become a battlefield. The Necromancia's attack had yet to be stopped. There were numerous sounds of explosions and the lights from the magic were flashing here and there. Although the campsite was safe, the dragon house beside was on fire and there were black smokes all over the night sky.

Is everyone still alright? What about Rebecca? Max? And the rest? The instructors? The staffs for the training campsite? The girls who were in charge of the food service?

“Damn… Even when we wanted to help them…”

Ash felt that he was filled with desperation. Apart from standing on the hills and looking from afar… We couldn't even do a thing-

As if to cheer him up, Lucca pulled Ash’s sleeves.

“I have a favor… To ask from you.”

As if she had made up her mind, Lucca was staring at Ash. Ash was troubled by it because her face was too close to his.

“W-What is it?”

Her Yōsei eyes were clear and shining even under the night sky. Her eyes, full of determination, caused Ash to return her stare.

“Please… Come with me.”

“Why?”

“For Gawain and me… You had wagered your life for us. Just to let us feel the same like old times… If you are together with me… I think I could muster up some courage.”

“Could it be that you know a way to save everyone?”

Lucca extended her hand towards Ash.

“I want to save them… No, I must save them.”

Ash held Lucca's palm as if he was going to be sucked in by the determination in her eyes. Her body temperature was transmitted to Ash through her tiny leaf size like palm.

“Alright. I believe in you.”

After Ash answered with a steady tone Lucca smiled in embarrassment.

Part 31

Under the silent eyes of both Silvia and Eco, Lucca and Ash moved towards the edge of the cliff… Which was also the place where Milgauss jumped off from.

Shoo… Shoo… The sounds of the winds passed through the darkness down below.

“Lucca…? What do you intend to do?”

Ash took a peek at Lucca's face whilst being frightened.

“Jump down… From here.”

“J-Jump down-?”

Lucca didn't answer. She just hurdled herself into Ash’s arms. Behind them there were immediate sounds of disparagement coming from both Silvia and Eco. There wasn't any time to worry about it. Lucca placed her hands around Ash and hugged him as if she was hurting him on purpose. Although his organs were screaming in pain Ash still managed to bear with it. If he groaned in pain at this moment he will disappoint Lucca.

Even so, what was Lucca actually thinking…?

“We are going to jump.”

When her voice reached Ash… He was already in mid-air. Just like what she said, Lucca jumped down from the cliff. And she was falling together with Ash- The feeling of floating in mid-air only lasted for a second… Then both of them, gathering speed, fell in a straight line.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Whilst listening to the sound of the winds buzzing past his ear, Ash was swallowed into the dark abyss. He thought that he heard Eco’s and Silvia’s screams, for a short moment from far above, but the voices were soon lost.

Part 32

They kept on falling. Ash and Lucca were hugging each other when they fell towards the bottom of the cliff. Thinking back carefully… The same thing happened when Eco was born. It seems that he was fated for such things… Suddenly he seemed to hear Lucca's voice, somewhat obscured by the sound of the wind. She seemed to be speaking to herself while huddling to Ash.

“Sorry… Gawain. I’ll never again be afraid of you.”

Aah… So that's it.

Ash finally understood Lucca's determination. Just like Gawain's overprotection of Lucca, which had caused itself cut off its Astral, this time Lucca wagered her own life. After Lucca hugged Ash tighter, she shouted loudly:

“Please accept me once more, Gawain!”

It was hard to believe that such a loud voice would come from such a petite girl. Her voice sounded so strong that it was enough to pierce through the night. There was a glaring light coming from Lucca suddenly. The golden rays started to surround her body.

“Could this be… Astral?”

Ash, who was still falling with Lucca, was stunned. He couldn't believe that he could see Astral with mortal eyes.

“Quick… Suck them in Gawain! Take my Astral… No, absorb me! You are my… Pal!”

The shout that she put her full effort in was echoing in the night. Just before the voice disappeared- There was an explosion around the hills near Willing Mausoleum. Gawain emerged from it while releasing a magic that brightened the night sky. Ash's gaze was attracted to Gawain’s movement. With the Astral flow resumed he had totally recovered. After Gawain gave a roar, that a young dragon couldn't possible make, it carefully caught both Lucca and Ash with its back.

Part 33

“I have… Another request.”

“I’ll do anything, as long as it is in my range of ability.”

Ash replied loudly. Their priority was to save the students and Ash was willing to suffer any kind of pain for it. Lucca worriedly stated her request in a low voice.

“…I’m going to challenge the Dragon Riding Dance. So… I hope you could hold on to me tightly.”

“No problem!”

Ash recalled what Navi had said. That is the Eckbald's traditional dance. Because of Lucca's failure while practicing the dance it had caused her to have problems when facing Gawain. Ash was unable to imagine what kind of a dance it was, but was mentally prepared. Now he could only place his hopes on Lucca's Dragon Riding Dance. Ash hugged Lucca's waist tightly with both of his hands.

“Is this alright?”

“…Tighter.”

“How about this?”

“Tighter.”

“Urgh…What about this?”

Lucca answered by nodding.

Suddenly, there was a clear metallic sound coming from Lucca's leg. Her dragsuit was modified with standard spurs. Gawain received the signal, lifted its head high, roared and then rushed up into the sky.

Part 34

The Ark had disappeared after Rebecca annihilated a group of Strada type Necromancia with her magic spear, Gáe Bolg. Rebecca reluctantly sighed. Cú Chulainn's magic was almost used up and could no longer maintain its flight. It landed beside the lake.

“Should we end it here-”

The training campsite, that acted as a temporary battle headquarters, was still fine, but the dragon house nearby was being swallowed by a great fire. Both parties were still fighting by the lakeside. Just like Cú Chulainn all the dragons had already used up their magic and many of the were fighting using only hand to hand combat in its true and brutal form. Because their opponents were Necromancias they had extraordinary endurance. Every time they receive a fatal blow, they still continued to regenerate and stood back up. This batch of students had been performing well in this fight and they were worthy to become the selected participants of this training camp. But there was no end to the amount of enemies. Everyone was wondering how many dragons had been buried at the mausoleum while reinforcements for the enemy just kept on arriving. Apart from that, Rebecca could no longer summon the power of an Ark-Dragner. This fact alone had lowered the students fighting moral.

“We don’t have any more choices left. Should we just give up on the training campsite… And retreat?”

Rebecca made the bitter decision. Everyone would be devastated to lose such a great traditional facility. The training campsite, at Allonnes Lakeside, is also a place with long history. But she wanted to prioritize the students’ lives. If they give up right now they still have the chance to retreat in one piece. Once the retreating path had been blocked off by the Necromancias… Rebecca felt a cold chill just by thinking about it. Currently: three students were heavily injured, fifteen were slightly injured and seven dragons were also injured. Although they had not yet suffered any fatalities yet… Still, if they continued to hold on… The situation would become irreversible. Rebecca made up her mind. She took a deep breath and was about to order the students to retreat... Just at this moment… A flying object shot passed in the sky.

From the bright silver track left behind by its excessive magic––that must be a Maestro.

“Is it Lancelot?”

No. The tracks left behind by in its dance were obviously not accomplished by any ordinary Maestro. It was as if it took the sky as its own drawing space and spread its wings boldly while flying…

“Could that be… Gawain?”

Part 35

-What type of dragon riding is this? This is the first time in my whole life I saw Dragner control their dragon using this method…!

Under the effect of the strong centrifugal force Ash nearly lost his consciousness. He felt as if he was suffering from anemia. He was already facing trouble just holding on to Lucca. If he had been careless even for one moment… He would most probably be facing a watery grave right now. The Eckbald's Dragon Riding Dance couldn't be reasoned with human knowledge. A sharp corner turn. A strong centrifugal force that could even rattle the brain. The ruffling sounds of the wind rushing beside his ears. Although he also faced groups of Strada type Necromancia along his way Gawain wasn't distracted by them, in the same way a lion was not bothered by ants, it continued to fly on. The Strada type Necromancia couldn't keep up with Gawain’s speed and scattered like being blown off by a storm.

-Is this really a… Dance? If this is also considered a type of dance… How do we classify the flying method in the academy? This is totally at a different level! Obviously… There is too much of a difference…!

-Lucca is undoubtedly a genius!

Ash finally knew the reason why Lucca was still selected for the training camp even after she had been absent for three months. At the same time… He personally experienced the terrifying feeling of falling off in the midst of the Dragon Riding Dance. Just by thinking of it, Ash's entire body stiffened, knowing it was a miracle that Lucca's body remained intact even after she had fallen from Gawain during practice. Also… Lucca was not flying blindly. Ash realized that, onto the night sky, Gawain was tracing a magic pattern, all within a circle, with its tracks. Not long after that, the huge magic diagram had been completed. Thinking back… Navi had mentioned something before.

-Once the Dragon riding dance had been completed, many effects of magic w be activated.

Ash’s eyes widened.

“Isn't this a ‘Seikoku’!”

That’s right! The image that Lucca and Gawain completed together was a ‘Seikoku’. There was the head of a dragon in the middle of a circle and it looked unique. The diameter should be more than a hundred meters. The moment the magic circle was completed Lucca shouted:

“Dragon Riding Dance, the First Dance- ‘The Amrita of purification’!" [7]

The magic circle started glowing, and then brightened into a glaring light.

Part 36

All the students who were busy fighting by the lakeside were shocked by the sudden lights. The huge magic circle- ‘Seikoku’ was hanging at a corner of the night sky.

“So you had succeeded… Lucca.”

Rebecca smiled in relief. After being exposed to the strong glaring light the tough Necromancias had returned back to ashes one by one. On the other hand, the students had recovered their energy as if they had been treated with healing magic. Rebecca also felt that her body had become lighter and the gloom in her heart had departed. It's as if her desperation from before was only an illusion. She now felt that she could still continue the battle. Upon seeing all the Necromancia at the lakeside had been defeated, the student cheered in unison. Even the injured patients who were taking refuge back at the training campsite ran out to the lakeside and cheered. Looking at Gawain, who was flying energetically through the night sky, Rebecca chuckled.

“Since the ancient times the Eckbalds, who were dragners, were called ‘Elfn Dancer’. The Lucca right now best fits the descriptions-”

"Elfn Dancer ~A.S.B 1365.6~"is closed.
