Chapter 1613: Ancient Dragon 1
Right on the top of the city where Akane Academy was located, everyone, who was living, living in this city couldn't take their eyes away and stopped the tremble on their bodies, staring at the creature that appeared in the sky at this moment.
Dragon.
It was the only thing that could describe the creature in front of them, a jet-black dragon with blood-red eyes, showing cruelty and desire to destroy everything. It might be able to fly with its wings, but it landed on the ground, destroying various buildings around the vicinity.
The people around started to run away without hesitation, screaming for help since their lives were at stake.
The sunny sky turned dark in an instant, thunder kept rumbling one after another, and the fire from burning buildings was the only light that could be seen from this city.
Haimura, who happened to see this scene, was stuck there, watching how the dragon destroyed the city, but here he was, could only stay with everyone in the building since he didn't have the power to do anything. He clenched his hand tightly, but he knew that there was nothing that he could do at this moment, which made him very frustrated.
"What are you doing here! Hurry up and evacuate!" Tanaka was furious at Haimura, who stood there in a daze.
Haimura gritted his teeth and said, "Tanaka-sensei! I am a Savior! There are a lot of people who are in need of help in this city, but I can only hide he--" He couldn't accept the fact that he was hiding in the safe place where there were a lot of people who were in need of his help, and he wanted to help them. However, he didn't finish his words, but he was punched by Tanaka.
"Don't overestimate yourself!" Tanaka screamed.
Haimura fell down on the ground and could feel that his cheek was very hurt, but the surprise that was brought by Tanaka made him feel numb. "Te - Teacher..." He touched his cheek and looked at Tanaka in shock at why Tanaka punched him.
"I am sorry for punching you, but you're weak. If you leave right now, you'll only hold back everyone since you can't do anything. Just leave everything to the Striker team now and just stay in school and wait until everything is alright. Believe in your friends," Tanaka said and helped Haimura to stand up.
Haimura gritted his teeth and felt frustrated at this moment, and at the same time, when he saw the face of the dragon from the school, it made his body tremble for some reason, and he also knew that he was very weak, that he couldn't do anything at this moment.
On the rooftop of the Akane Academy, every member of the Strikers gathered together and prepared themselves to go to the battlefield.
"The metaphysical that emerged is a new type, unknown to us. Branch coordinator Suruga is currently hospitalized. He won't be able to deploy," Jin said.
That news brought them a shock since one of the S Rank Saviors in this country couldn't help them, and Haru was also in another country at that moment, but they knew that they needed to do this or else there would be more victims!
When they saw what had happened in front of them, it reminded them how they felt during the summer camp, that helpless, useless, and unable to do anything again, and they didn't want for that feeling to reappear once again, but they didn't expect that they would receive good news after they heard the bad news.
"Sir Edward from the UK branch is trying to get here as fast as he can. Kasugano-kun is still in Russia. The principal is currently evacuating everyone by using teleportation. Until the principal's teleportation can be used again, we'll have to protect our school with everyone we have."
*BOOOOM!*
Under the background of the destroyed city, Jin stood in front of everyone with a solemn expression and said, "We are fighting for the fate of this Akane Academy. Everyone, I expect you to give it your all and more!"
Kamekichi showed a smug expression and said, "We don't need Kasugano. All he's doing is flirting with Russian beauties anyway!"
"....."
When they heard Kamikichi's words, they had a feeling that Haru would really do that in Russia, which made them feel relaxed for some reason.
Then everyone started their usual routines.
"We are the swords of salvation."
"We are the saviors!"
"We are the strike for our people, our peace, and our justice!"
"We are the strike for our people, our peace, and our justice!"
Jeanne also followed everyone since she didn't have enough information about this dragon, and it was also flying. She couldn't fly after all, and she also needed to follow the strategy, or else everything would turn into a mess.
Jin said the plan was to sneak attack the metaphysical dragon that wrecked the city apart, and everyone also agreed, waiting in the forest, waiting for it to go closer. However, a plan was just a plan, and it often wouldn't go according to their plan, especially when the dragon was moving at very fast speed toward the Akane Academy, crashing the barrier around the school.
*Crash!*
"ROOOOOOARRRRR!!!"
The dragon let out a loud roar which almost destroyed everyone's eardrums, and it might be their imaginations, but they saw it smiling toward them, mocking. It then opened its mouth and gathered a large amount of energy...
"Everyone, stay beside me!"
Jeanne shouted and stood in front of everyone. Her dress turned into her usual battle-gear that, and she was holding a battle flag.
"Jeanne!" Shizuno was startled when she saw Jeanne was in front of everyone.
The dragon didn't care about Jeanne and released a breath of powerful fire!
Everyone could only see a fire that was about to burn. Everyone was about to arrive in front of them, but...
"Here's the work of the Lord! My flag, defend our brethren! Luminosité Eternelle!"
Jeanne's flag shone brightly, enveloping the entire school, creating a barrier that protected everyone!
*BOOOOOOOM!!!*
When they thought that they almost ended, they were surprised when they saw that they were alright, especially when they saw Jeanne's ability that was capable of protecting everyone.
Jeanne gritted her teeth and felt that the dragon was stronger than she had thought, after all, unlike Haru, whose strength was unmatchable, her strength hadn't gotten stronger after she joined the Group Chat, and the dragon metaphysical in front of her was something that she couldn't fight at this moment, and even though she didn't hate it, most of her skill was used to protect everyone and her only skill from defeating this dragon needed to her to commit suicide so she wouldn't use it until she really needed to use it, but she believed that her husband would come and saved her and everyone soon.
Jeanne, who faced the dragon, shouted, "Everyone, attack the dragon together!"
When everyone was in a daze, they heard Jeanne's scream, and her existence was light a bright light during their plight, and it might be their imagination, but they felt an abundant power on their bodies, and they didn't feel fear anymore!
"ATTACK!!!"
Everyone prepared their strongest attack to defeat this dragon together!
