“for a moment.”
It was just before I ran.
Suddenly, Minerva reached out a palm toward me.
As she looked up for something, she smiled brightly and turned towards this side.
“Can I change my clothes before the fight?”
[…] What?]
For a moment, I thought I heard it wrong.
But Minerva shrugged at me as if something was wrong.
“I can’t help it, because these clothes are very precious to me. It was also the first gift I received… It’s probably made of ordinary fabric, so it’s easy to tear and break even with a light impact.”
As she said that, she grabbed the hem of her knee-high dress with her unholding hand and lifted it gently.
A part of her white thighs were exposed in that action, making me frown without realizing it.
[By the way, are you going to change it here?]
“Well, if you wait, it will be soon.”
Saying so, she moved her wings and wrapped her body invisible like a chrysalis.
After a while, Minerva’s wings were removed and she was wearing an unusual dress, not a gothic dress, not a hanbok, not a cheongsam, and neither an ao-dai nor a kimono.
To be honest, it was a bizarre outfit that had all the four characteristics I just mentioned.
Dressed in a crimson dragon pattern on a black background, she grinned and said to me.
“I remember that you were obviously very interested in clothes like this, am I correct?”
I didn’t say anything.
I don’t know what kind of meaning my silence meant, but Minerva burst out with a squeaky, pure laughter as if it had become quite pleasant.
“Isn’t it good, this is also entertainment. If possible, I wanted to remain as a good memory for you even a little bit more.”
As she smiled, her teeth gleamed like the fangs of a beast.
light.
Me and she looked at the epicenter of the intense light almost at the same time.
“Look, an uninvited visitor has already come to interfere with our secret meeting.”
There was a dragon made of lightning.
Maybe it’s Li Wuwei, that man’s technique.
As she was thinking about that, Minerva muttered in a voice that seemed uncomfortably rare.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have killed the person who handled the lightning first.”
As soon as she muttered, the original Minerva, on which we were standing, immediately fired a bullet.
The dragon made of lightning thought that its body would scatter for a moment, and then immediately regained its original form with a thunderbolt.
[Annoying.]
The dragon, Minerva, uttered only one word, spread its wings as it was, and began to fly through the air as if competing with the dragon of lightning.
In the wildly swaying wind, Minerva slowly raised her sword with black hair and hem of her robe fluttering.
“You can leave everything else to me. you are just… .”
You just need to hang out with me.
I didn’t answer her.
He just ran forward and threw the spear.
Eonwoldo and the spear crossed, and a loud noise resounded again.
* * *
“Just in case, you are really up there.”
After closing his eyes for a moment, Myeongjun Lee muttered like that.
He was able to share his sight with the dragon made of lightning, so he could see Yoo Ji-hyeok standing on Minerva’s back.
Also the figure of a woman holding arms with Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“What are you going to do?”
“It was decided what I could do anyway.”
Lee Myung-jun glanced at Ahn Joo-hyuk and continued speaking.
“I don’t think it could be fatal if you hit it straight. Above all else, Yoo Ji-hyuk, that child is clinging to me… .”
He clearly remembered that Yoo Ji-hyuk had told him that he had a skill similar to that of a conservatory.
He taught me how to handle it, so I couldn’t forget it.

Okay.
It was a skill similar to a celebration, but it was not called a celebration.
It was said that no one knew what would happen to him, unlike himself, who recovers his power when receiving a lightning-type technique.
“Joo Hyuk. You should take the lead for me.”
At Lee Myung-jun’s words, Ahn Joo-hyuk nodded his head with a confused expression.
Ahn Joo-hyuk was also well aware that there was no one to replace the commander right now.
Anastasia Rukiyanenko, Gamaltera, Fujiwara Reiko, and Evangeline Lohengrin.
These four men could not afford to take command because they were concentrating all their energy on filling the gap in the barrier that Aegis was shot down and dealing with the indiscriminately fired magic bullets.
Li Wuwei was seriously injured, so it was unreasonable.
Ahn Joo-hyuk’s quick action saved his life, but the wound was so deep that he had to quietly recuperate for at least half a year.
Richyard is said to be standing on the front line, but he was also deeply wounded, and Ose Evans did not belong to a guild unlike other Ten Rivers in the first place… In a word, he was a single-fire general type far from commanding.
If it was Laura Hartmann, she could have trusted her, but she must have been protecting the four people who couldn’t even afford to take care of her now.
‘The good news is… .’
It was that a series of unknown groups appeared to help.
Each of them, led by a young silver-haired woman, was so strong that they could not be ignored, and among them, the silver-haired woman, who seemed to be the leader, did not dare to estimate the power.
“Then what will you do?”
At Ahn Joo-hyuk’s question, Lee Myung-jun exhaled a little.
Then, as usual, he shook his head and muttered.
“First I have to do what I can… Now that Wu Wei is down, I am the only one who has the means to contain the enemy in the air even a little.”
With those words, Lee Myung-jun’s fingers moved.
As if reacting to that, the dragon made of thunder roared with thunder, and Minerva also roared face to face as if he would not be defeated.
“I have to do something.”
He mumbled so much to himself.
* * *
“Come on, it’s okay now.”
“yes. Thank you, Yuna.”
With a wet handkerchief in her hand, Yuuna nodded slightly.
Han Soo-young, who had a tissue in one of his nose, muttered to Choi Hyun-woo, making a snoring sound.
“It’s good that only one exploded, right?”
“I know.”
Choi Hyun-woo was looking at his sword that had been cut in two with bitter eyes.
It was a sword that didn’t even get scratched even when it blocked the club that the ogre had struck with all his might… .
He looked at Han Soo-young while muttering as if complaining.
“What should I do now?”
“Well… .”
Their gazes were fixed on Minerva flying in the sky.
They also already knew that Yoo Ji-hyuk was fighting the woman on the back of that Seven Evil Bell.
The question was what and how to do it.
There was nothing they could do right now.
“… How can you not swim with your magic?”
“Didn’t you see a nosebleed because of a circuit overload after reversing something like breath? If you do, you might pass out with blood spilling all over your body.”
Above all, it was difficult to construct a delicate magic because it was within the barrier of Aegis.
Also, Minerva was emitting something like an intense wave that disturbed the flow of her own magic.
From the point of view of Sooyoung Han, whose main specialty is space magic, which is based on delicate construction work and formulas, Minerva was said to have the worst compatibility for her.
“It’s too high up for my attack to reach.”
Lee Yu-na also muttered in an anxious voice.
Next to her like that, Jin Ye-seul was silently waving her thumbs.
“The way… Somehow, somehow I have to make up for my mistakes… .”
Choi Hyun-woo glanced around and said to Han Soo-young.
“What about the others? I can’t see Ivan, Lee Ye-eun, and Do-hun.”
“… The captain and the woman said they were going to see Evangeline Lohengrin.”
Jin Ye-seul, who had been muttering while looking into the air, spat out an answer.
Choi Hyun-woo looked at him as if asking for a detailed explanation, and Lee Yu-na returned an answer instead.
“I will try to find another way by using the power of the spirits. Ivan talked to Evangeline-san to increase the output of the magic bow, and with the help of senior Lee Ye-eun, she said that she was trying to find a way somehow by gathering the power of the spirits.”
“Well… .”
“And Ahn Do-hoon… I don’t know.”
As Lee Yu-na shook her head flutteringly, Choi Hyun-woo nodded slightly.
He looked quite shocked, but was he really okay?
As he was thinking about that, he suddenly burst into a small smirk as if it was ridiculous.
‘Who cares about whom now? .’
Couldn’t do anything about it, wasn’t it?
No, to be honest, this one was much more pathetic.
At least, Ahn Do-hoon literally rubbed her collar.

On the other hand, he didn’t even scratch his collar, he even lost his one and only armament.
‘You stupid bastard… .’
I was swearing at myself like that and falling into self-hatred.
“… I didn’t know you’d be here too.”
Choi Hyun-woo lifted his head, startled and startled at the sound he heard in his ear for a moment.
He wondered if he had heard a hallucination, but the person in front of him was no hallucination at all.
“Tongue, Hyuna-san… ?”
Choi Hyun-woo stuttered and stuttered in an unfavorable way.
In front of him stood a silver-haired woman with a sword at her side.
She looked at Choi Hyun-woo with complicated eyes for a moment, then bowed her head slightly.
“hello.”
“Ah, yes… .”
Choi Hyun-woo greeted each other with an awkward look and slowly stepped back.
He had long ago decided to give up his feelings for her, but the original human heart didn’t always go his way.
“Hyun-a sister? here is… .”
Han Soo-young nodded her head as if to understand without saying anything.
It was from the thought that if she was as strong as her, then of course it would have something to do with the Ten River.
“While I was walking around, I felt familiar magic, and I wondered if it was true… .”
She muttered as if lamenting for some reason, and looked at Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo with a particularly meticulous look.
There were no special injuries anywhere.
Then, as if reassured, she nodded her head slightly.
It was the woman who was implicitly thinking of holding the responsibility to Yoo Ji-hyeok, who would have been the cause of the two of them being here if they had suffered serious injuries.
“Well?”
Meanwhile, Hyuna… No, Nam Hyeon-hwa could feel something uncomfortable.
After hesitating for a while, she asked Han Soo-young, just in case.
“Hey, excuse me, but the necklace I was wearing before… .”
“yes? ah… A necklace?”
As Nam Hyeon-hwa nodded, Han Soo-young answered with a blush in her face as if she was a little embarrassed.
“He lent it to my friend for a while.”
“… … .”
Nam Hyeon-hwa was at a loss for words.
In my head, I was judging that it was a good thing in the current situation, but in my heart there was a feeling of disappointment and sadness that could not be described in words.
“I, my sister… ?”
“… sorry. I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”
At Han Soo-young’s call, Nam Hyeon-hwa shook his head slightly.
It was because I did not come to these children to think like this now.
“First of all, I’m here to ask you two for help.”
“yes?”
“Yes?”
Han Soo-young and Choi Hyeon-woo looked at them as if they were talking, and Lee Yu-na and Jin Ye-seul also turned their heads to look at them.
“The war situation is neither very good nor bad. If it goes like this, it will probably lead to a long-term battle. It would be really nice if we win after some time, but unfortunately we are much more likely to lose. So, now that we are stuck, there is a need for a graveyard.”
Han Soo-young nodded, but strangely thought that she was using the words that Master often used.
“As most of the swordsmen, including myself, would be, there is no proper means of attack that can be used against opponents floating in the sky like that. However… .”
She looked at Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo and said.
“If you two help me, I think I will see a way. Could you please help me?”
At her words, the two of them nodded their heads without saying anything first.
Nam Hyun-hwa, who smiled as if he was proud for a moment, looked at Lee Yu-na and Jin Ye-seul.
“Would you two do it together?”
Lee Yu-na and Jin Ye-seul also nodded their heads as if they were waiting.
Nam Hyeon-hwa took a small breath as if he knew.
“Okay then, first of all… .”
Looking around, she said, pointing to the tallest building that looked the best.
“Let’s go to the roof of that building. We will move on and explain the detailed plan.”
* * *
“… … .”
There was someone watching them from afar as they moved as a group.
She was none other than Belluna.
She mumbled quietly, plump and touching the ground with her feet.
“Well, to some extent, I think I’ve done enough… It doesn’t seem like a place for me to go now… .”
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she stared at one side.
Then he mumbled with a smile that seemed like a no-brainer.
“There is something I have to deal with first of all… .”
