"Hiyama-kun, why are you doing something so dangerous?"
Kaori, back in the car, said angrily, "What if someone gets hurt?!"
"We have no reason to stop, do we? If we stop, we'll definitely be asked to explain the situation, and we don't have that kind of time."
"Anyway… we'll have to explain the situation when we get back to town, so there's no need to waste time explaining twice."
Hiyama said calmly, his hands on the steering wheel.
"Even so…"
Kaori puffed out her cheeks.
Shizuku narrowed her eyes beside him. In her opinion, Hiyama's real reason was probably that he was annoyed by others blocking his path, so he wanted to forcefully crash into them.
He was that kind of person.
Back in town, Aiko-sensei and the students who had come out to greet them, as well as the Kingdom Knights and townspeople, had all returned.
Aiko-sensei saw Hiyama's car from afar and rushed over.
But one person was even faster than her: Arima Daishi, the class's car enthusiast. He sprinted over at the speed of a hundred-meter dash.
When he got close, he started circling the hummer SUV, his drool almost dripping onto the hood.
"Hiyama-kun, Kouki… are they okay?"
Compared to the SUV, Aiko-sensei, who followed closely behind, was clearly more concerned about the students' safety. She asked uneasily.
"Aiko-sensei, don't worry! Hiyama-kun gave Kouki and the others… a magical potion, a magical potion that can heal all injuries at once!"
Kaori said with some excitement.
"A magical potion that can heal all injuries?"
Aiko-sensei's eyes widened, somewhat incredulously.
"Then… why are all three of them foaming at the mouth?"
Aiko-sensei pointed to the three male students who had just been 'unloaded' from the car and asked in confusion.
"Uh… Hiyama said there wasn't enough room in the car for so many people, so he threw the three of them onto the cargo rack. They were probably shaken up."
Shizuku explained.
Recommendation
Chapter 73: It's Here!
Everyone looked at her, but suddenly realized that a purple-skinned, pointy-eared Demon Woman was following Shizuku!
"It's a Demon Woman!"
"How did a Demon Woman get into the city?!"
"Will she kill us?! Help!"
Gaderia's appearance caused great panic among the crowd. Some picked up weapons to attack, some knelt to pray, and some turned and fled.
"Wait… she is my subordinate now. I promise she won't cause any harm to anyone."
Shizuku quickly explained.
The Demon Woman Gaderia, facing the hostility of the crowd, looked fearless, seemingly not at all worried that people would attack her.
Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that she was wearing a collar around her neck, which was undoubtedly a sign of a subordinate.
"Shizuku, what's going on?"
Aiko-sensei asked, full of questions.
Weren't they just in a fierce battle? How did this Demon Woman become a subordinate in the blink of an eye?
"This is a complicated story. More importantly, there's something even more important I need to tell everyone now!"
Shizuku said seriously.
With that, Shizuku revealed the news that a hundred thousand strong monster army was about to attack the town.
Upon hearing her words, the townspeople and knights who had been observing the situation around them all burst into an uproar.
If they believed the impending threat Shizuku reported, then the enemy would not be fifty thousand, but a monster army of one hundred thousand! This was no longer a situation that these knights and town residents could stop with just their passion.
It was no exaggeration to say that after these monsters trampled their small town, the entire kingdom would probably be bathed in blood by this group of monsters.
It was utterly despairing! People fell into a deathly silence, every face etched with deep despair.
That's right, now they didn't even have the thought of escaping. With a hundred thousand monsters attacking, where could they run?
"But! Hiyama-kun said he has a way…"
In the midst of the despairing silence, Kaori's voice rang out.
People were like terminally ill patients who suddenly heard they still had a chance of being saved; their faces instantly showed expressions of ecstasy!
But soon, the calm people began to ponder—
"Hiyama… do you really have a way?"
Meld, the Captain, asked this question on behalf of everyone.
That's right, everyone had just seen Hiyama's performance.
It could be said that if it weren't for Hiyama, Kouki and the others' bodies might already be cold.
It was impossible for them to return safely as they did now, even capturing a Demon Woman prisoner.
But even so, asking them to believe that he alone could fight against a hundred thousand strong monster army was simply too fantastical!
Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Hiyama seemed to be in a daze, as if he hadn't heard their inquiries.
"It's about to start."
"Start? Start what?"
Aiko-sensei looked up at the sky like him, but saw nothing.
Everyone else was also completely bewildered.
A group of people staring at the sky certainly looked a bit foolish.
But then, boom!!! A thunder-like sound rang out, and people watched in horror as a rainbow light appeared on the horizon, almost coloring half the sky!
But this anomaly came and went quickly.
"What happened?!"
"Has the monster army started attacking the city?!"
"Everyone, quickly get to the city wall!"
The sudden anomaly threw everyone into a panic, and they quickly ascended the city wall.
"We should hurry and follow."
Aiko-sensei swallowed hard. She knew something big must be happening now, and she followed everyone onto the city wall.
On the city wall, Taniguchi Rei's barrier team was maintaining the stability of the barrier, but at this moment, their pretty faces were filled with deep horror and fear!
The earth was trembling.
It was a swarm of monsters covering the entire land.
Besides Humanoid monsters like Brutal, there were also black wolf-type monsters three or four meters long, six-legged lizard-type monsters, snake-type monsters with sword mountains on their backs.
And mantis-type monsters with four scythes, giant spider-type monsters with countless tentacles growing from various parts of their bodies, and pure white giant snakes with two horns!
The earth rumbled, dust rolled up like an avalanche, and the sight of the swarming monsters was like a black tsunami.
The ferocious monster army marched with fierce momentum, and deep within the dust, one could see murderous red-black eyes.
Their numbers seemed to be even greater than what was confirmed in the mountains, estimated to be about fifty thousand, nearly sixty thousand strong.
But don't forget that there were also a large number of flying monsters above the army!
These flying monsters were similar to pterodactyls. Although their bodies were smaller than dragon-type monsters.
But the miasma emanating from their bodies and their extraordinary aura showed that they were more dangerous than the flying dragon Haiberia seen in Laisen Great Canyon in the past!
Among the dozens of pterodactyls, there was one particularly large individual, with a vague human figure on it, dressed in a black robe, its face unclear.
That was probably Shimizu Yukitoshi.
Shizuku glanced at Hiyama standing beside her. She had not revealed the news that Shimizu Yukitoshi was the actual manipulator of the monster army.
On one hand, she was worried that Aiko-sensei would not be able to accept this information, and on the other hand, she was worried that if this information was revealed, they would definitely be pressed for the source of the news.
If they knew the source of the news was Hiyama, Hiyama's situation would be very unfavorable.
At this moment, the monster army finally came within visible range, and people using bows and magic circle gathered near the barrier.
The ground trembled, and the distant dust and roars of monsters could be heard.
People praying to God could be seen everywhere.
More and more people turned pale, nervously swallowing their saliva.
"Hmph, I think you're all dead."
The Demon Woman Gaderia mocked from the side.
"What did you say?!"
"Damn Demon Woman, it's all your fault!"
"Anyway… we're all going to die, so why not kill this Demon Woman?!"
Gaderia's words were like a drop of water in a hot oil pan; everyone instantly boiled over, clamoring to kill her.
"Hmph…"
Gaderia looked disdainful, just about to continue mocking.
"Shut up. You are not allowed to speak without my command."
Shizuku said with a cold face.
But many people still glared angrily at the Demon Woman. If it weren't for her status as a summoner, they would probably have rushed up and killed the Demon Woman Gaderia long ago.
Shizuku felt a headache coming on. In this atmosphere, if she really incurred public wrath, she wouldn't be able to protect this Demon Woman.
And just then, a voice broke the tense atmosphere.
"Wait… what is that?!"
"Look at the sky!"
Someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Chapter 74: Freebie?
Everyone quickly cast their gaze upward, only to see a giant black dragon suddenly appear from afar in the sky.
It flapped its wings and flew towards the monster army!
"Roar!!!"
It opened its mouth, and a scorching Dragon Breath spewed out, the Dragon Breath continuous, sweeping a path of purgatory through the dense monster army!
Countless monsters instantly met their fiery demise!
"What's happening?!"
"Are the monsters fighting among themselves? Where did that black dragon come from?"
"Could the previous anomaly in heaven and earth… have been caused by it?"
Everyone on the city wall was bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, completely unaware of what was happening.
At this point, some people were puzzled. The reason for the sky turning red had been found, but what about that… thunder-like sound?
Soon, this question was answered.
"Quick! Kill that black dragon."
The black-robed man sitting on the winged dragon monster ordered anxiously. Of course, he recognized it, because it was a Dragon-People Clan he had painstakingly managed to control!
Although he didn't know why she had broken free of control, if she continued to rampage like this…
It would only be a matter of time before the hundred thousand strong monster army was exhausted by her!
Countless winged dragon monsters heard the command, all let out a roar, flapping their wings and flying towards the black dragon!
A glint of triumph flashed in the black-robed man's eyes.
No matter how strong this black dragon's body was, or how sharp its claws were, it would be impossible for it to withstand the biting attacks of these thousands of flying monsters!
Even ants can bite an elephant to death!
Once this troublesome black dragon was dealt with, he could lead the monster army forward and then trample Ulu Town!
But… a golden figure flew from the black dragon's back. Her red eyes were icy cold, thick dark clouds began to gather, and the world fell into darkness!
Everyone's gaze was drawn to this golden figure, and they couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Thunderous Nine Heavens."
The Golden Angel's tone was cold, her voice echoing throughout heaven and earth!
Boom! Above the firmament, it was as if Zeus's chariot had passed, making a earth-shattering sound!
Then, nine terrifying bolts of lightning struck down!
Like divine punishment!!!
Accompanied by the roar of the lightning, it ravaged the front line from right to left, and swarms of flying monsters, like moths to a flame, rushed towards the lightning pillars, instantly being vaporized!
After the lightning pillars came countless tiny lightning bolts, forming a dense lightning net in the sky!
As if unwilling to let any flying monster escape, the lightning net densely struck all flying monsters, except for the black dragon, turning them all into charcoal!
Suddenly, only the black dragon remained as the only flying creature in the sky.
"What is this… what in the world is going on?!"
"Monster… it's a monster!"
"Why is there such a 'monster' that can cast this world's magic circle without any incantation?!"
