Volume 7 Chapter 18 Goddess Holy Church Seven Heaven Apostles 'holy Mother' Elena & 'holy Scripture Of The Celestial Star' Lily Mathers ③ - Dragon Newt
"Haah, haah... Ugh, this is annoying."
Elk had inhaled some poison and felt unwell.
It wasn't a deadly poison. But it felt like weights were attached to his arms and legs, and his vision was hazy, like wearing a helmet that blocked his sight.
He rubbed his eyes, but everything was still blurry. He seemed to have a slight fever too.
"This poison makes you feel like you have a cold... I'm glad I only inhaled a little. If I had breathed in a lot without realizing it, I might not have been able to move at all."
He climbed the stairs to the tenth floor.
This was the last floor. Elena and Lily, along with the hostages Emma and others, were here.
Elk stood in front of the door to the top floor. Then, the door opened on its own.
"Mr. Elk!!"
"Emma!! Are you okay?"
"Yes. We are safe, but..."
"I'm fine. More importantly..."
"──Hehe."
It was a strange room.
The tenth floor looked like a training ground with nothing in it.
There was a place like an audience area where Emma and several dozen hostages were, and Lily and Elena stood at a distance, while in the center of the room stood a strange figure in armor.
"───...!"
No, it wasn't a human.
It was something that looked like a human, dressed in pitch-black armor.
It stood over 2 meters (6'7") tall. Its build was comparable to Cagliostro, but it was not human. Its face was covered in black scales, its large mouth filled with sharp teeth, and it had 2 horns on its head, with glaring red eyes.
To sum it up in one word───a dragon.
Lily said proudly, as if she was showing off.
"My greatest masterpiece... 'Dragon Newt'... Elk, can you defeat it?"
"......"
Elk glances at the audience, where Emma and the others are sitting. Then, Elena speaks up.
"After coming this far, I won't use hostages as shields. Hehe, Lily and I will support the Dragon Newt. Elk, can you defeat the Dragon Newt empowered by Lily and me?"
"...Can I ask one thing?"
"Hm, what is it?"
"What is your goal, Senior Elena? Why did you attack the academy?"
Elk asks. Depending on the answer, it could affect Elk's future──
"If you think that if you leave the academy, it will be your fault... then a school without you will definitely fall apart."
"!!"
"Elk. Our goal is your elimination... but right now, it's not just that. Piasola only thinks about that, but with the S-rank dangerous organizations joining forces, the situation has changed. Our goal is... 'an ideal world.'."
"...Huh?"
"Premiere Knights stand for 'order,' Night Festival Courtesan stands for 'freedom,' the Demon King stands for 'chaos'... and the Goddess Holy Church has joined for 'love.' Do you understand?"
Elk doesn't get it.
Order, freedom, chaos, love. S-rank dangerous organizations that stand for those things have teamed up. It's clearly abnormal. There's no way they could come together.
"Piasola promised. To summon the goddess Pipina and create each 'world'."
"...Huh?"
"This world was created by Goddess Pipina. So, can't we create about 3 more worlds? Instead of fighting over one world and killing each other, wouldn't it be smarter to join forces and get the world we want?"
"......"
"Hehe, you think it's impossible, right? I thought so too... But when I talked about this, the leaders of the 3 organizations were a little shaken... In other words,."
Elena tapped her own head with her finger.
Elk was startled and clenched his teeth.
"Brainwashing, huh...!!"
"Correct. With Piasola's skill 'Brainwashing', we guided them to follow the Goddess Holy Church. After that, we let them do what they want while asking for our requests. All to make their own world."
"───...!!"
Elk clenched his fist and shouted.
"Don't you get it yet!!"
""?""
"Think about it!! There's no way Pipina can come to this world!! She said, right? That she can't interfere with this world!!"
"What if she could?"
"...Huh?"
"I can't say it now, but we have a 'means'. We're taming that troublesome S-rank dangerous organization, and the plan is going smoothly... But, you know? The biggest obstacle is still Elk."
"..."
"Hey, Elena. This story is long."
"Ah, sorry, Lily. Elk, can I ask you one more time? ...Will you come with us?"
"No way."
Elk spread his arms and deployed his blades.
Then he told Elena and Lily.
"Hey, don't you want to know? I'm being asked for a favor by Pipina."
"...A favor?"
"Yeah. She wants me to take care of you 7 guys (The Goddess Holy Church) with cheat skills."
"...Do you really think I would believe that?"
Elena pointed her right hand at the Dragon Newt, and Lily aimed her staff as well.
"'Love Words (Elegy)'."
"'Output 100% Activate (Dragon Booster)'."
'───!!'
The Dragon Newt's eyes widened.
'Roooooaaaaar!!'
It let out a roar and spun its massive spear toward Elk.
Thanks to Elena's and Lily's boosts, it had explosive combat power.
On the other hand, Elk was still affected by the poison. His telekinesis was unstable.
But... it didn't matter.
"Well then, let's get started. Do your best."
"Dragon Newt, go for it!"
"Hmph. There's no way I'll lose to a puppet like this."
The battle between Elk and the Dragon Newt began.
