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

But he felt that this was not the point. The point was that his own situation was also very serious.

"Melyuzina!"

Emiya pointed at the black scales on his body that were about to fall off, and signaled Yaolan to save him.

Now his scales are falling off piece by piece, gradually turning back into magic power and disappearing... If this continues, his entire body will be exposed on the bottom of the sea!

Moreover, his current condition was that his magic power had been completely burned out, his whole body was in so much pain that he wanted to die, and he felt severely weak and tired, even worse than the last time he fought Odin.

If Emiya hadn't reminded himself all the time that he was still in the sea, he really wanted to give up his pretense and fall asleep!

"Is this the feeling of victory? Not bad! And you're truly amazing, Emiya. The credit for this hunt should go to you... You actually managed to slay the dragon before I, a dragon, did."

After the victory, Melyusina spoke in the water. She leisurely waved her slender tail and rolled Emiya's body over.

However, he did not put on the new scale armor for Emiya immediately. Instead, he held his hand and stared at his body with shining eyes.

"?" Emiya widened his eyes. Why are you in a daze at this time? Why are you just looking at me, Yaolan!

"So, I will reluctantly give this harvest to you!"

Melyuchina patted Emiya's head gently and sang a fairy-like, beautiful and seductive melody, like a hypnotic song of words, which finally made the latter fall into a deep sleep.

Then, Melyuchina turned her attention to the huge dragon corpse that remained of Leviathan.

Leviathan, the king of the ocean and water, will not lose his Dragon King-level power after being killed. Instead, his power will be preserved in the form of his remains, which are also called "Dragon Bone Cross" by dragon slayers.

Of course, the human dragon slayers have made almost no progress in their research on this thing. They have no idea how to use the power hidden in the dragon bone cross in the right way.

However, Melyuchina, a direct descendant of the Black King and a "Crown" dragon, naturally knew how to gain authority and power from hunting down her own kind.

But as agreed, Melyusina gave this opportunity to Emiya...

Well, on second thought, she seemed to be a strange "Servant" now—a state of existence whose specifications were fixed. This kind of soul seemed to have difficulty gaining anything by devouring flesh and blood, so having Emiya undergo the "Dragon Blood Baptism" was the only option at the moment.

As for keeping the credit for someone other than the two of them, Melyuchina didn't even consider it.

After the battle, the sweet fruits of victory are only worthy of being enjoyed by the victors.

----

"Door!"

The surrounding environment is like a crazy painting by an abstract painter. The cracks in the earth extend wildly, and the terrain is uneven and has no regular pattern. The mouth of the abyss gushes out surging waves of sea water from time to time, spitting out a large number of innocent sea fish with no desire to live.

At this time, Nono, as the leader of the team, exclaimed.

"What door?"

"The exit door, I feel like we can reach the exit if we go forward here!" Nono and the others were all dressed like beggars. There was no other way. With the entire Nibelungen going crazy and the terrain changing randomly, the difficulty of walking normally was no less than wading through mountains and rivers.

"Now, leave two people as a group and stay where you are. The rest of you, follow me back to find Emiya and the others!"

Nono held her hands tightly and gave orders in a swift and decisive manner. After Melusina and her reached a master-servant contract, a faint magical channel was connected between the two.

Moreover, she can continue to sense this special passage. Following the direction of this perception, she should be able to find Emiya and Melyucina.

But before they could take a few steps, they saw a black spot in the sky that quickly enlarged into a fast-flying shadow, spreading its wide dragon wings and landing towards them.

Nuo Nuo's face finally broke into a relaxed smile as if relieved from a heavy burden. "No need to look for them, they're back!"

At this time, Melyuchina spread her jet-black dragon wings, and her hands and feet became ferociously long and slender due to her dragon transformation. She carried Emiya, who had been baptized by dragon blood, and the Dragon-Breaking Platform sword case on her back, and made an emergency stop in the air before landing smoothly and straight. This flying skill was almost like defying the law of inertia.

"The enemy general has been defeated by us!" When seeing the Master staring at her, Melusina did not pretend to be reserved, but showed her joy of returning victorious at the right time.

"Wow, it seems like you guys achieved quite a lot... How's Emiya? Is he injured?"

As she was talking, Nono suddenly noticed that Emiya on her back was almost naked. Looking at Melyuchina's slightly raised mouth corners, there seemed to be a look of satisfaction.

The smile on Nuonuo's face disappeared.

Chapter 111 Haha, the offensive and defensive situations are different

“You, you two…!?”

Nuonuo's pupils trembled, and the emotions in her words were filled with five parts of disbelief, three parts of suspicion, and two parts of uncontrollable panic.

"We?" Melyusina didn't understand why the Master's eyes were darting back and forth between her and Emiya.

Is there something wrong?

"Then let me ask you, where are Emiya's clothes?"

Nono, Nono, you guys are fighting, but this is not some R18 pornographic fighting scene, so why did you knock all the parts of your clothes off while fighting?

"It wasn't because of the battle. It was because after the battle... I took it off for him because it was very obstructive."

Melyuchina answered very straightforwardly and concisely...a light sentence that omitted most of the process.

Because the ritual process of dragon blood bathing is very troublesome.

While extracting the power of the Leviathan Dragon Bone Cross, Melyusina also needs to make a cocoon-shaped container to hold Emiya's body, and then inject the "fetal blood" transformed from the Dragon Bone Cross, which has completely eliminated the toxicity, into the container using cocoon silk as a guide.

Clothing blocking this situation will somewhat hinder the extension and transmission of the cocoon silk, thereby affecting the effect of dragon bone blood absorption.

This incident is also recorded in the "Song of the Nibelungs".

It tells the story of Siegfried bathing in dragon blood after slaying a dragon and becoming nearly immortal. However, his back was blocked by a leaf, preventing him from fully receiving the dragon's blood baptism, leaving a flaw.

Although this statement is mixed with some rumors and fabrications, it also implicitly conforms to some solid truths.

"Is it troublesome to have obstructions?!"

Nono was shocked by Melyuchina's extremely abbreviated words. Who are you, a dragon against heaven? Right after the fight, you start coveting human flesh and getting lustful for it?

If you don't give me a decent reason today, I will fight with you, this rogue little female dragon——

"Yes!" Melyuzina didn't seem to notice the atmosphere created by Nono during the conversation. She was still stating the facts calmly.

"We worked together seamlessly on the seabed and killed the culprit, but I believe the main credit should go to Emiya, so I gave him the most important item as the winner's fruit..."

Melyuchina saw that there were outsiders around the Master and decided to explain a little using some cryptic pronouns.

However, these fatal words made the anger in Nuonuo's heart burn even more fiercely.

"Important things...fruit...?"

Nuonuo's hair stood on end, her eyes widened in anger, "You better not be talking about yourself!"

"Hmm?" Melyusina's tail, which had been swinging, drooped down. She didn't understand where the Master's anger came from.

In the strange and high-pressure atmosphere between the two of them, Ling quietly passed by. She took off the sword box of the Broken Dragon Platform with ease and carried it on her back.

She was just helping with the moving, and this was nothing new; it was the same as the Odin incident. It was just a routine.

Let’s go and walk…

Seeing this scene, Nuonuo finally broke free from her state of extreme anger. She smoothed her messy red hair slightly, took a deep breath, and her rational thinking finally took over again.

Now is not the time to quarrel or argue. Let's escape from this hellhole and return to reality to ensure our safety first.

"go!"

----

When the group finally passed through the "door" and arrived at the empty overpass entrance ramp outside, they found themselves as if they had stepped from a chaotic and disordered water world into another... in a sense, equally chaotic and disordered water world.

"Fuck, is there a flood outside?"

Chu Tianjiao, the only one feeling uncomfortable in the team, had originally intended to remain silent. However, when he finally escaped Nibelungen and arrived in the outside world, he couldn't help but complain loudly about the city's flooding.

The pouring rain is not enough to describe the tragic situation in this city.

Typhoon Dandelion, which made landfall this year, seemed to be blowing particularly hard, sweeping up a huge amount of water vapor. As a result, the amount of rain transported here far exceeded that of previous years, causing the drainage system of this coastal city to operate at full capacity and almost collapse, and it was not enough to transport the excessive rain in a short time.

A group of people quietly walked down the ramp from the elevated intersection where no one noticed them.

Amidst the white noise of heavy rain, Nono finally learned through Melyuchina's whispered explanation that Emiya was naked for the "Dragon Blood Bath" ritual. He was not injured but was just in a deep sleep and could not be revived until his evolution was complete.

It was just a misunderstanding. She forgave the little dragon... No way. The little witch would never swallow her anger or be weak.

Immediately afterwards, Nono also whispered to Melyuzina, asking her to hide herself and not be seen by ordinary people when she went down.

In order to avoid attracting unnecessary extra prying eyes, Melyuchina followed Nono's request, quietly restrained her dragon-like state, and disappeared into the air in the form of "spiritualization" (ghost).

So under such a reasonable request, Emiya's body was finally freed from Melyuchina and handed back to Nono's control.

Hum. The offensive and defensive dynamics are different.

At this time, Nono, who was carrying Shirou on her back, thought with a little pride in her heart that the little female dragon only had this little experience in dealing with people. Wouldn't it be easy for her to control this naive guy?

After the first time, there will be a second time, and countless times after that.

In the future, when taking action, he would simply let Melyuchina remain "invisible" and watch him and Emiya get along.

"?"

Melusina, who had transformed into a spirit, saw that her Master's face suddenly became bright and her red hair was flying, and she was puzzled as to how this human girl's mood could change so quickly.

Perhaps, I still need to learn more about the human world?

"Everyone, what do we do next?"

When we got close to the overpass, we could see from afar the low-lying road surface nearby, where water had accumulated to a depth of several tens of centimeters.

The Mercedes-Benz and BMWs that usually drove arrogantly with their low beams on were now driving in a low-key manner. There were also a few unlucky cars parked in the middle of the road, with the double headlights on both sides of the car body flashing - it was obvious that the vehicles had waded through too deep water and their engines had stalled.

Chu Tianjiao wiped the rain off his face and said, "This rain is so damn heavy, it's inconvenient for us to take a taxi."

"No need. Someone's here to pick me up."

Ling suddenly stepped forward and pointed ahead. A large RV was bravely cutting through the accumulated water and moving forward with its headlights on. It looked down with disdain on the other family cars that were moving as slowly as snails. The RV, not afraid of being too deep in the water, was like a fashionable star standing out from the crowd of ordinary people.

Chu Tianjiao took a closer look and saw it was a special off-road RV like the Sai De Wujie. It seemed to be equipped with the specially raised chassis of the Iveco Continental, a truly unique vehicle. He secretly judged that if this move wasn't pre-planned, he would have slurped two full bowls of Lanzhou ramen through his nostrils!

His intuition was pretty good. This was indeed arranged. Zero's boss Lu Mingze had known that they would escape successfully, so he specially arranged for Jiude Mai to come to this location to pick them up.

The headlights of the RV parked on the side of the road flashed, signaling everyone to get in quickly.

After being drenched by rain for a long time, the group could no longer bear it. They got on the bus and ran straight to the back room to find dry towels to wipe their heads and faces, and to cover their bodies with dry and warm spare coats.

...Then Chu Tianjiao was driven out as the only outsider.

"?"

Chu Tianjiao, who had intended to take advantage of the situation, was puzzled. No, he could understand the strict separation of men and women, but what did you mean by moving Emiya in with you and then turning him away? You were treating him differently!

Do middle-aged men have no human rights?

Dejected and still damp, Chu Tianjiao walked back to the front of the driving area. He felt in his trouser pockets for a cigarette, only to discover that both his cigarette and lighter were missing. After escaping the Nibelungen, Chu Tianjiao's only remaining equipment were his two alchemical swords, Murasame. His cell phone and weapon case were gone.

He walked to the passenger seat and forced a wretched smile at the female driver, Jiude Mai. "Beautiful lady, could you drop me off at Media Asia? I have something urgent to do. Thank you."

"Hold on tight." Jiude Mai, who was driving, was like a cold queen. Without saying a word, she drove the large RV at lightning speed, causing the cars wading through the water in the adjacent lanes to frantically honk their horns to "greet her."

Chu Tianjiao was secretly shocked by this scene. The female driver was indeed not someone to be trifled with. Her racing skills were not inferior to his. He had to stay away from her.

----

Emiya felt like he had returned to his mother's womb, enveloped in warm colors and touches, as if he had experienced a baby's sleep.

What was going on? Oh, right, he vaguely remembered that after he killed the dragon, he told Melyuchina to quickly give him a new set of scale armor, and then... Then he didn't remember anything.

In the hazy moments before waking up, Emiya felt that the severe pain and extreme fatigue brought on by over-extraction of magic circuits had completely disappeared.

In fact, the situation was exactly the opposite of what was expected. A tremendous force that came from nowhere was quietly flowing through his limbs and bones, like the activated essence of heaven and earth flowing into his body and being absorbed without any rejection.

It was not until a long time later that he heard a familiar voice. Emiya moved his eyelids and his vision gradually opened up.

The familiar ceiling of the Regent Hotel, in the distance, Nono was busying around in a pair of cotton slippers.

"Are you awake?" Seeing this, she came over quickly again.

Emiya saw that Nono was holding a bowl of steaming porridge in her hand. The kitchen was filled with white mist like clouds, and there was a faint smell of burnt food, which was unique to kitchen novices.

Oh, damn, Miss Nono actually cooked for her!

"No need to go to so much trouble, Nuonuo, can't you just bring back two servings from the restaurant in the administrative district?"

Emiya struggled to get up from the bed. He wasn't a sick person. He felt energetic and strong. He had never felt better before.

"You think I don't want to? It's because we came back too late. The hotel kitchen staff had already left work. Old Tang, the guy you always talk about, came back to see you once before, but he hurried off saying he had to go to some peak esports showdown. Look, in the end, I was the one who had to do the work for you..."

Nuonuo kept nagging. She, who had never touched a finger before, finally understood the hard work of handling kitchen utensils and stoves. She placed the porridge, which was still thick and smelled of burnt rice, on the small table next to her.

Then he threw the new clothes he had borrowed temporarily to Emiya, who was only wearing a nightgown, and said, "Wear them quickly when you wake up! As for whether to drink the porridge or not, it's up to you!"
