They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

When Emiya looked at the others, Nono also said that she had no objection.

Melyuchina said with a little regret that she could find another opportunity to show her strength next time, which frightened Lao Chu so much that he secretly wondered how to avoid "being found the opportunity".

"Okay, now that we've reached an agreement, let's talk about the next steps. We've almost confirmed the direction of the enemy's attack."

Emiya, Ling, and Chu Tianjiao briefly recounted their experiences with Nuonuo. "These signs of attacks originating from the water indicate that the ultimate source, the enemy's headquarters, is likely on the seabed beneath the surface of the sea."

"And from the enemy's perspective, this arrangement is likely to maximize their advantage."

Zero nodded in agreement. "Our experience was similar. That strange, oversized white whale did indeed suddenly emerge from the sea at the end of the road."

"I injured it, but strangely it hasn't appeared since then and its whereabouts are unknown."

Emiya wondered, could they be looking for a place to stop and rest? He wouldn't believe it, even if he were beaten to death. He'd already attacked their base, and the guys behind him, seeing the chaos, must be even more anxious than he was. He absolutely couldn't tolerate them running around like that.

"Enemy life forms have been detected attacking!" Melyuchina suddenly looked up.

Suddenly, a long dragon roar came from afar.

The elements in the sky surged mightily, and a giant blue dragon flapped its broad membranous wings and flew over. The wind element roared in the clouds, and in response, a rapidly rising torrent formed under the surface of the blue ocean, which instantly turned into a thick column of water gushing out!

It was a giant navy blue dragon sprinting out from the deep sea! This was the second one that followed!

Chu Tianjiao's pupils shook violently. An ancient dragon with a huge body and at least tens of meters long was hatched. It seemed to be a dragon servant living inside the Nibelungen!

Damn! I’m done for. How can I fight this?

The same ancient dragon's combat effectiveness while maintaining its human form differed from its combat effectiveness after hatching into a dragon form. While the secret party wasn't familiar with the developmental stages of larval and adult dragons, their extensive dragon-slaying experience revealed that size directly impacted the threat level.

But Chu Tianjiao glared at her, and surprisingly, no one was about to flee. Ling had already walked to Nuonuo's side, clearly ready to act as a protector, while Emiya raised the Dragon Severing Platform, the weapon reflecting a terrifying sharp luster.

And Melyuchina, needless to say, is eager to try——

I was just talking about looking for an opportunity to show my strength, and look, the opportunity just happened to come to me!

Emiya and Melyuchina looked at each other. There were two flying ones over there, but only one on this side, so… "Melyuchina, break their wings first!"

But even as she spoke, Melyusina couldn't wait to soar into the sky. "I understand! Now we begin the annihilation operation. Leave the head behind!"

"......?" Emiya was speechless. "No, sister, what on earth did you understand?"

He seriously suspected that the next time he ordered Melyusina to "go and teach someone a lesson," Melyusina would also understand it as "annihilate! Take their head!"

This communication is so tiring. I suddenly want to become a dragon trainer. What should I do? Urgent, waiting online.

Whoosh! The giant blue dragon flapped its membrane wings, and the wind elements gathered and agitated, bursting out at an even more astonishing speed. Its sharp claws clawed forward, condensing into a dazzling high-voltage electric light.

To it, Melyuzina, who was only 1.47 meters tall, was just a nimble flying fly that it could easily catch and electrocute with a stretch of its claws.

But Melyuchina was far more agile than it had expected.

Whoosh!

She was like a fish turning in the air, passing through the gaps between the dragon's arc-shaped claws by a hair's breadth. The next step was to swing the sword that was ready to strike, and a jet of magic power erupted rapidly!

The moon-white magic flame suddenly expanded to dozens of meters in size, breaking through the restraints like a laser cutting machine, and completely cutting off half of the dragon's arm and the left membrane wing!

Melyuchina was about to cut off the dragon's head, but suddenly a torrent of ice shot towards her at high speed. She had to turn around and dodge, and the next second rushed towards the dark blue dragon.

"Pfft-!"

Dragon blood splattered, and the azure dragon wailed as it descended from the sky. Having lost one of its membrane wings, it could no longer maintain its balance in flight. As a result, its altitude dropped drastically, and the winged dragon plummeted towards the land ahead.

Whoosh!

Before reaching the land, suddenly there was a pale blue flame and sharp sword energy attack.

Feeling the threat from the Nine Infants driven by the Dragon-Breaking Platform, the giant dragon, with a warning in its heart, barely waved its only remaining right membrane wing to turn and dodge. Although it was not enough to fly flexibly, it could still barely drive the wind element.

But it miscalculated. With only one membrane wing left, its dodging posture was no longer flexible and free, which was also predicted by Emiya who was wielding the Dragon Breaking Platform.

The next moment, it was met with several long swords launched by Emiya. The rapidly enlarged sword tips did not flash with the glow of the alchemical field, but the internal structure was stimulated by magic power - causing illusion collapse.

A dazzling chain of explosions expanded in the air, emitting bright light and stirring up fierce hot winds.

Chapter 103 I Bet Everything on the New Era

The flooded area beneath the No. 0 Viaduct within the Nibelungen River was, as Emiya and the others had previously suspected, only tens of meters deep on the landward side, while the other side was the actual sea.

As for what lies beneath the deep sea...

Ancient Westerners often imagined terrifying monsters roaming the seas. Whether it was the Kraken of Norse legend or the Hydra and Charybdis of Greek legend, they all implicitly portrayed the sea as a dark, gloomy abyss of death, a place teeming with evil.

The East, on the other hand, imagined that there was a huge and unimaginably magnificent palace under the sea. This was the residence of the "Dragon King" who was in charge of the ocean and rainfall. Surrounding this gorgeous crystal palace decorated with corals, pearls and gems were endless treasures buried there and many aquatic monsters living together.

All I can say is that people’s imaginations are often biased.

For example, in the deepest part of the sea here, there are not so many rich and diverse things distributed. What stands here is a complex of buildings designed according to the standards of the dragon clan.

The building complex is composed of concentric circles, extending outward from the central cylindrical square.

There are wonderful and special water flows connecting the buildings, emitting alchemical waves with a unique rhythm. These water flows bring together the water from the deep sea, and at the same time form a water film wrapped in air on all sides of the buildings, protecting them from the corrosion of running water.

The building's exterior features exquisite bronze reliefs that vividly enhance the massive, solid walls. The ingenious lighthouse in the corner is a massive bronze sculpture holding a lamp, its ferocious appearance resembling the eyes of a giant dragon glaring at the world.

At the highest point of the building complex, which is distributed in a concentric stepped pattern, the towering surrounding columns cast huge, swaying shadows in the dark underwater environment, and faintly emerging from the shadows is the magnificent and noble shape of a dragon.

Its body length was similar to the navy-blue dragon servant that had previously emerged from the water, but its scales were a darker shade, closer to black than navy blue. Its once broad, membranous wings were now curled up on its back, its limbs nimble, and its tail swayed, rhythmically slapping the alchemical formation formed by the water.

A closer look revealed that the "center" of the alchemy array was filled with a curved spear, which looked exactly like "Kungunir".

This giant dragon is the body of Leviathan, and the spear is the Nibelungen "key" or control that Odin gave to Leviathan.

This spear, a replica of the Spear of Destiny, served as the hub, activating the alchemical array arranged in the entire building complex. Leviathan used it to operate the "Zero Elevated Nibelungen" and the spatial connection between it and other Nibelungen, especially his own Nibelungen, and this ocean.

It is also because of this that a large area of ​​Highway 0 was submerged by the sudden marine environment.

"Just a little bit more... It seems that controlling the Nibelung as a non-owner is still very difficult, even if I personally exert all my strength."

Leviathan's dragon body uttered words that sounded like a sigh.

In fact, the control array that Odin gave him was only as big as this square. As for the alchemical matrix combination constructed by the water flow in the large building complex here, it only played a role in amplifying the effect on this basis.

Rumor has it that Master Flamel, the chief alchemist and vice-president of Kassel Academy, has also set up an alchemical super-matrix in the basement of the academy. Its function is to amplify the scope of his own "commandments" to cover the entire academy.

Although the alchemical array set up by Leviathan and Odin has the same function of amplification, the effects of the two arrangements by humans and dragons are incomparable, and the difference is huge - here the effect of "space opening" is amplified to the level of being able to connect the entire Nibelungen.

This is something that the secret party members who claim to know the most about dragons dare not even think about.

however……

Miscalculated, Leviathan thought.

His original plan was to open up an alchemical matrix through the space here and transport all the reinforcements from other distant Nibelungen to the Zero Elevated Road at once.

When the arrangements are complete, we will wipe out all the forces and chess players that are against the Medical Association.

But those sudden accidents that happened one after another disrupted his plans and made him extremely annoyed!

First, two humans appeared near Nibelungen. The cargo they were holding was suspected to be the "Egg of the Black King", which caught his attention.

After a brief consideration, Leviathan felt that the two humans posed no threat, so he led them into the Nibelungen and sent the "White Whale" to deal with them tentatively.

But what followed was the red-haired man and woman who made him feel unlucky.

The man was naturally Emiya, an old rival who had fought against Leviathan's humanoid puppet. That damn red-haired girl even had Odin's mark on her body, and she was able to bring another person into this place without Leviathan's permission.

If Odin were in the Nibelungen, he could have prevented Nono from finding the entrance, but Odin was not there now, and was still waiting for his resurrection.

So the controller had to be changed to Leviathan, but his control over Odin's Nibelungen was not as precise.

Under such circumstances, Leviathan was unable to get away, so he had to hastily order the "White Whale" to deal with the two more troublesome men and women, and later sent the "Kraken" and "Hydra".

However, just when Leviathan was caught in a panic and unable to take care of both ends, new troubles arose. Norton and Jörmungandr actually followed the couple in.

It turned out that the man and woman in front were just a pair of vanguards. And that damned, despicable Norton had even found a new fellow, Jörmungandr!

Leviathan secretly resented that he should have known long ago that as a chess player who had been hiding behind the scenes and successfully plotted against Odin, Norton's style of doing things must be so insidious and difficult to guard against. All of this must be related to him!

Leviathan was filled with resentment and anger, to the point of exploding with rage. The situation it had planned was on the verge of collapse, and the cause of this collapse was nothing more than this slight time difference.

If they had entered the Nibelungen a little later, their situation would have been much better! It was all Norton's fault, the mastermind behind all this!

"Woo——"

Amidst the gurgling water, whale songs suddenly echoed in the humid air within the water film of the huge square. However, the whale songs were no longer high-pitched, but low and mournful, as if conveying condolences to some of the same species.

Leviathan looked toward the outer edge of the square. A mountain-sized white sperm whale swam toward them. The whale's wounds were still visible, but at least the bleeding had stopped. Even if it hadn't recovered, no fish dared to feast on the whale's gushing dragon blood in the area surrounding Leviathan's presence.

"What did you say!"

Leviathan's attention was drawn to the whale song. He clearly understood the communication the white whale was sending through the song. "Did the dragon servant I sent out also encounter an unknown enemy?"

The calls made by the white whale sounded panic and uneasy.

For many years, it has been carefree because of the noble dragon blood and spiritual words bestowed upon it by the Water King. It has almost no natural enemies or hunters of the same level in the ocean. Thanks to this, it commands a large number of whale groups in the Greenland Sea, like the king among whales.

The only ones who can be called opponents are "Kraken" and "Hydra", who were also chosen by Water King.

But today, subversive encounters occurred one after another - it was first injured by a red-haired human with a strange metal object, and then it witnessed from afar in the sea that the usually smart and cunning Kraken was easily hunted and killed by a small creature that dived into the water.

The white whale's instinctive perception was not dull. The feeling that the small creature gave it, that pure dragon blood characteristic, was exactly the same as that of its monarch. In other words, it was the same kind as the monarch!

And now even the "personal guards" under the monarch could be killed by that creature... The white whale became anxious and panicked. Its simple thinking was not enough to find any coping strategies. The only thing the white whale could do was to report to the Water King Leviathan in a hurry.

"The only people who can hunt down my dragon servant head-on... judging from the description, only my brothers and sisters can do it."

Leviathan was puzzled. They were of the same species as the first generation, but not Jörmungandr and Norton... Leviathan knew that Norton and the other two were still at the other end of the overpass, blocking him from opening up space and transferring support from other Nibelungs.

So, why did a fellow First Generation species suddenly appear? Who was it?

He didn't even realize when this person had invaded Nibelung without anyone noticing.

But the bleak situation now is clearly revealed, and Leviathan must make a choice. Otherwise, if this continues, he will be the next to be hunted. Leviathan believes that his brothers and sisters will not mind being cruel and taking advantage of him.

Faced with the imminent crisis, humans may seek peace, but as the Dragon King, he will not retreat at all.

Thinking of this, Leviathan thought of his brother Odin, who seemed to be living more and more like a human.

In order to hatch the huge dragon body, Leviathan was the last of the four monarchs to awaken. Several years ago, Odin successfully awakened him from the Greenland Sea, signed a blood covenant with him, and made a promise of a "new era".

Odin promised Leviathan that in that new era, the destined "Twilight of the Gods" would be a history that had been successfully transcended.

Afterwards, Odin will share this world with Leviathan, transforming the Medical Association into a giant power organization that stands in the open, manipulating the entire world to dance around them.

Leviathan, who had just awakened at that time, was unaware of the situation. He initially mocked Odin for lowering himself to cooperate with humans, handing over alchemy to combine it with human technology, and studying ways to give birth to pure-blooded dragon seed heirs. As a result, part of his power was divided among his offspring.

However, Odin told himself seriously that only by doing so could humans let down their guard.

Odin, despite being the Dragon King, wanted a son and wanted to expand his family. This contrasting impression made humans feel that the Dragon King was not malicious, because humans concluded that the Dragon King had the same rich emotions and worldly desires as humans... The Dragon King also had the same weaknesses as humans.

Leviathan at the time was puzzled, why did it come to this...

Seeing this, Odin sighed, lamenting how much humanity had changed since the past. Today was different. Their technology had advanced by leaps and bounds, and their nuclear technology was enough to amaze the Dragon King. They were no longer as easy to deal with as they once were. Using force and the old methods to confront them would not work.

Leviathan then followed Odin to thoroughly understand this era. He was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to join the Medical Society and Odin's plan.

He asked Odin to make a puppet and a mask that carried his power and consciousness, and appeared in front of the medical association in a human form that never showed his face.

The only drawback is that Leviathan cannot act as human-like and lifelike as Odin. Perhaps only the youngest sister Jörmungandr can do so naturally.

Therefore, he has always been indifferent and alienated from other members of the Medical Society. He only took over the affairs of the Medical Society reluctantly in order to jointly welcome the new era promised by Odin.

"Odin... I won't be willing to accept this if I don't see the new era you're talking about."

Leviathan thought back to all this, laughed at himself, and gave up hiding here to maintain these alchemy arrays. He had to fight back himself.

"After all, I'm betting everything there."

The sea began to surge and the waves became raging.

Chapter 104 What happened?

"You mean, your boss is betting everything on the New Era?"

When Chu Tianjiao asked Ling about the purpose of the trio, Ling's answer made him curious.

This conversation originated from the two of them watching a game not long ago.

Not long after Melusina and Emiya rushed forward, Chu Tianjiao was dumbfounded to see that Melusina single-handedly slashed down the giant dragon with a single blow of her sword. The huge dragon servant that was considered difficult to deal with by the secret party was not even a match for this little girl!

Woc! It’s like a god descending to earth, little girl!

Then Chu Tianjiao saw Emiya running to the seaside with a black bow in one hand and a Dragon-Breaking Platform in the other, continuously swinging sword energy and shooting long swords from the front. The injured dragon that had lost one membrane wing tried its best to wave the remaining membrane wing to dodge, but in the end it was turned into a huge fireball that exploded and burned by Emiya's long-range shooting!
