Chapter 444: Happily Obtaining a Holy Sword!
On the desolate plain near the castle—
"Kobayashi? Why are you here alone? Where's Tohru?"
Elma, holding her trident, descended from the sky and looked in surprise at Kobayashi, who was running over from the distance, panting heavily.
While speaking, she also glanced at the two fairies following beside her, then her gaze returned to Kobayashi.
"E-Elma!?"
Kobayashi subconsciously stopped her steps, bent down, supported her knees, and took a few breaths.
And hearing the name Elma, the fairy father and daughter beside her couldn't help but exclaim in unison:
"The Priestess of the Holy Sea!"
"..." Elma didn't mind the reaction of the fairy father and daughter; she was quite famous in this world. She just looked at Kobayashi.
"Phew—!"
Kobayashi tried hard to calm her breathing, straightened up, looked at Elma, and answered:
"Tohru and I accidentally got separated when we came over... But you, why are you here?"
Saying this, she revealed a curious expression.
"I am from the Harmony Faction."
Elma said with a matter-of-fact face: "The dragons of our faction were set up; I definitely can't sit by and watch."
After saying this, she turned her body, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the gradually enlarging "black dots" in the distant sky, her voice unconsciously carrying a hint of solemnity:
"By the way, Ryohei-kun, Miss Yurine, Miss Minos, and Lady Pekola also came. They went to Kanna's side now."
"Ryohei-kun and the others came too?"
Kobayashi was surprised by this news. She also noticed Elma's solemnity, turned her head, and looked in the direction of her gaze.
"Wuaah—! It's the dragon flock of the Chaos Faction!"
The blonde-haired fairy middle-aged man was scared into a meme face, widening his eyes, sweating profusely from anxiety, and panicking uncontrollably in the air.
"Bad, bad! The dragon flock of the Harmony Faction is coming from behind!"
The pink-haired fairy turned around, screamed, and almost fell from the air—they were unknowingly caught in a pincer attack!
Fortunately, they had a big shot from the Harmony Faction on their side; they should be fine, right?
The fairy father and daughter spontaneously looked towards Elma, their faces carrying looks of hope.
...
In the underground passage of the castle—
Kanna was surrounded by dancing electrical light. Her petite body twisted and leaped agilely in the stone-paved passage. In just a few seconds, she had already exchanged several blows with Azad, who was wielding the dazzling holy sword.
Clang—!
Azad suddenly thrust the holy sword in his hand into the stone wall beside him.
At this time, Kanna leaped into the air, the electric current in her hands crackling, and lunged straight at Azad. But at the moment of closing in, it made a turn and was entirely absorbed by the holy sword nearby.
"Mmm—!"
Kanna's heart tightened; this sword truly countered her somewhat.
"Hmph—!"
Azad sneered, seizing this opportunity to close in instantly, reaching out to grab Kanna's tender neck.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch her, a fist wrapped in purple aura suddenly enlarged before his eyes!
"Maliciously provoking war, and even attacking a child... you guy!"
Who is it!?
Azad's pupils shrank, both shocked and angry.
Accompanied by the clear sound of bone cracking and a burst of intense pain, his whole person was heavily blasted away.
"...Minos?"
Kanna spaced out for a moment, turned her head in surprise, looked at Minos who suddenly appeared beside her, and then landed lightly.
"Yo—!"
Minos smiled and waved at her, saying hello.
"Bastard! You actually brought helpers!"
"A demon?"
Azad covered his face, supported himself on the ground to get up, blood trickling through his fingers.
Right at this moment, he felt a familiar and astonishing oppressive feeling striking from behind. He involuntarily widened his eyes, his whole person freezing, like falling into an ice cavern!
"A rare battle, and you ruined the mood."
Built like a bear, Kimun Kamui stood in the passage, his face dark, looking down at Azad from a commanding height.
"Did you do this?"
Azad glared indignantly at Minos, his gaze sweeping over Ryohei and Yurine who walked out from the corner.
Having no time to ask who they were, his body had already taken action, quickly opening up distance from Kimun Kamui.
"Mn? What are you referring to?"
Minos raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Azad with a puzzled face.
"...So that's it!"
Cold sweat slid down his cheek. Azad looked at the bead in Kimun Kamui's hand—just now when Minos spoke, the exact same voice came from the bead.
He had to admit that he underestimated Kanna, this young dragon!
"Azad, I will kill you!"
Seeing Azad facing him head-on, Kimun Kamui, who disdained attacking from behind, clenched his fists. A ball of red and black aura exploded around him, and two rays of white sharp light burst from his eyes.
He took large strides over, raised his fist, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think any comrades will mourn your death."
As his voice fell, he threw a heavy punch!
"—Teleport!"
Azad glared at Kimun Kamui, gritted his teeth and sneered fiercely, spitting out two words.
A flash of green light!
Boom—!
Kimun Kamui's angry punch created a sonic boom, but it didn't hit Azad, only hitting the air.
"He ran away?"
Ryohei raised an eyebrow in somewhat surprise, then pulled out the holy sword stuck in the wall.
"Then, I will temporarily keep this sword."
Stare—!
A scorching gaze came from the side.
Ryohei looked over, only to see Yurine staring unblinkingly at the holy sword in his hand.
"Let me see." Yurine extended her fair small hand.
"Here."
Ryohei handed it over smoothly—he wasn't surprised at all that the "Weapon Master" Yurine was interested in the holy sword.
Watching Yurine enthusiastically make practice swings, Ryohei pondered advising Jashin-chan to behave herself these few days, to save her from becoming a sacrificial victim for sword testing.
"Onii-chan, Miss Yurine..."
Kanna stood aside, her face lifted, looking at Ryohei and Yurine with large, moist eyes.
Ryohei casually patted her head and smiled: "Kobayashi and Tohru also came; they should come looking for you very soon."
"Mn." A happy smile bloomed on Kanna's face.
"..."
Standing a few meters away, Kimun Kamui watched this scene before him, withdrawing his imposing aura.
"Kanna, are these your friends?"
"Mn, they are my friends."
Kanna turned her body and looked at Kimun Kamui.
"...Souka, you've found companions you can trust." Kimun Kamui was silent for a moment and said dryly.
Ryohei felt that this old father seemed to be a bit poor with words.
Right at this moment, a ringtone came from Kanna's body. She froze for a moment and took out her phone from her pocket.
The name lit up on the screen was—
Kobayashi!
