Chapter 286 22

Hikaru, Sintaro, Prince Fritz, and the others were confused by Kalya's words to Princess Freya and the other girls. They didn't know what the girls were trying to prove and to whom they wanted to show it.

"What do they mean? Who are they talking about?" Sintaro muttered with a gloomy face because one of the girls in the group was Kyouka. Not only Sintaro thought that way, but also Hikaru, Megumi, Prince Fritz, Prince Albert, and Princess Reina.

On the other hand, Princess Cordelia knew who Kalya was referring to in her words, but she decided to keep quiet because it was none of her business, or so she thought. She wanted to join their group but hesitated to tell Kalya and gave up on her intentions because she was too embarrassed to say it. As they were lost in their thoughts, Kalya's voice quickly returned them to their senses.

"We will divide our group into two. My group will take care of four of the fortress dragons, and I'll leave the rest to you. Do any of you object to the plan?" Kalya doesn't want to waste time with them and tells them her plan.

"What!? Wait! I object to your plan! Don't you only have five people besides you in your group? How can you fight four fortress dragons with demigod powers? Isn't that very dangerous!? We will face the four of them and leave the rest to miss Kalya and the others." Hikaru quickly voiced his disapproval of Kalya's plan.

"He's right. I think it makes more sense considering we outnumber you, and some of your group don't even specialize in combat!" Prince Fritz added and looked at his younger sister, Princess Freya. Sintaro and the others nodded in agreement at the words.

"You are wrong about two things. First, our members are the same because Kyouka will be fighting with us. Second, everyone here except Megumi can fight head-on with the dragons." Kalya quickly refuted their words and looked at Princess Freya and Kyouka to confirm her statement.

Kalya's group was Clara, Kyouka, Lilith, Princess Freya, Princess Iris, and Princess Aishia. Their number is seven. Hikaru's group is Sintaro, Megumi, Princess Reina, Princess Cordelia, Prince Albert, and Prince Fritz. Their number is the same as the first group.

"Of course! You don't have to worry, brother. I can fight on the front lines with the others as an offensive and support mage." Princess Freya nodded and said confidently.

"Yes, I will fight with them." Kyouka answered curtly. Even though she was one of the heroes, she had no attachments to the other three and didn't always have to fight alongside them. Moreover, Kyouka's current soul had merged entirely with Shiori's, and she would choose Kalya and the other people close to Ziel.

p "What!?" Hikaru and the others were shocked after hearing Kyouka's statement, but Prince Fritz focused more on Princess Freya's words.

"Shouldn't you be fighting together with us, Kyouka? You are part of the heroes and should be in this group!" Sintaro desperately tried to persuade Kyouka. From the start, he had intended to fight alongside her and show off in this battle. But if Kyouka fought in another group, then she wouldn't pay any attention to Sintaro.

"I was summoned to this world with you, but I have no obligation to fight with you. I hope you can understand. I'm sorry." Kyouka said indifferently to Sintaro, but her face became softer when she saw Megumi and the others.

"But!" Sintaro didn't want to accept those words and tried to persuade her again, but her words got stuck in his throat after receiving Kyouka's cold stare.

Megumi wanted to persuade Kyouka to fight alongside them, just like Sintaro did. Ever since the four of them were summoned to this world, she had the closest relationship with Kyouka. Because of that, Megumi wanted to fight together with her. But she swallowed back her words after hearing Kyouka's statement.

Kyouka's words aimed not only at Sintaro but also at the other two heroes, and Megumi felt a little sad when she heard that. Previously she had doubts about her feelings, but now she was sure that Kyouka had changed. When she thought about it, Kyouka's voice woke her up.

"Let's go!" Kyouka spoke to Kalya and ignored Sintaro, who was still staring at her.

"Yes." Kalya and the other girls nodded.

"As I said, we will take care of four of the seven dragons, and you will fight the rest!" Kalya said to Hikaru and left the place towards the seven dragons. She and the other girls had to fight the monsters before they fired another attack at the Aurelia Kingdom's mages.

"Come on, Sintaro!" Hikaru and the others quickly caught up with Kalya's group, who had left them far away. Sintaro gritted his teeth and reluctantly followed them.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmm!

An explosion boomed in the sky. The battle between the earth dragon emperor and the five kings had begun. Kalya and the other girls looked at the fortress dragons in the sky. The girls were not far from the seven monsters and ready to fight.

"So, what should we do to separate the seven dragons?" Clara glanced from the side and asked Kalya. The girls thought Kalya was their leader in the group now or maybe in the future.

"It's easy. Drop a large-scale attack right in the middle of the row of the seven dragons. Confuse them by doing it from above and below at the same time. If it were only from one direction, the dragons could withstand it, considering they had great defenses. Therefore, we will make them unable to block it and can only avoid it. But if they wanted to restrain it with their bodies, then that would be better." Kalya explains her plan to Clara and the other girls.

"After that, I will hand over the three fortress dragons to you." Kalya added. Her words were aimed at Hikaru and the group behind her who had just caught up with them.

"We understand!" Hikaru nodded and answered firmly. He glanced at Kyouka but didn't say anything. Hikaru realized that now wasn't the right time to argue about it because their enemy was in sight.

"Then, which of us will attack them?" Clara asked while pointing at the seven dragons in the sky. They needed two people with large-scale ranged attacks to carry out the plan, and all of Kalya's group had them. Clara's face was full of expectation, and wish that she was one of the two because she wanted to show the results of her hard training.

"The ones who will carry out the attack are Kyouka and Freya." Kalya looked at Princess Freya and Kyouka to her right. Clara was a little disappointed after hearing that. Even so, he didn't say anything because he knew Kalya must have had a purpose by choosing them.

"Can you do it?" Kalya smiles and asks. She chose the two girls not without reason. First, she wanted to show that Kyouka was part of them, not the heroes. Second, Kalya wanted to prove that Princess Freya could use attack-type magic.

"What!?" Prince Fritz was shocked when he heard Kalya's words. He is Princess Freya's older brother and has known her since childhood. Prince Fritz knew that his sister specialized in defensive and support magic.

Prince Fritz was sure that Princess Freya didn't have any deadly attack magic, let alone a large-scale one. But then Kalya suddenly asked his sister to attack the seven dragons with a large-scale attack, which sounded absurd to him. Prince Fritz doesn't understand Kalya's way of thinking. Just when he was about to say his objection, Princess Freya's reply made him speechless

"Of course, we can!" Princess Freya and Kyouka answered in unison. Then Kyouka released her strength and brandished the wand in her hand. She decided to attack first.

[Glacier Impact]

A gigantic chunk of ice suddenly formed on top of the seven dragons and fell at high speed. The monsters quickly realized the danger that was coming their way. They opened their mouths and were ready to shoot dragon breaths.

"It's my turn!" Princess Freya released golden mana from her body and pointed her wand at the fortress dragons.

Prince Fritz focused on Princess Freya because he was curious about what his sister would do. He wanted to know if Kalya's words were valid about her sister possessing large-scale attack magic.

[Gold Mine Impact]

Gold particles suddenly appeared and filled the entire area where Princess Freya and the others were. Then it gathered at one point and solidified into an enormous golden hill. Princess Freya swung her wand, and the golden hill shot swiftly towards the seven fortress dragons. The monsters about to attack the ice chunks in the sky suddenly stopped their actions after feeling something approaching them from below.

The seven fortress dragons panicked when they saw the gigantic chunk of ice from above and the huge golden hill below about to crush them. After they sensed that they could not withstand both attacks at once, the seven dragons decided to dodge. But a dragon in the middle didn't have time to avoid it because Kyouka and Princess Freya accelerated their attack, and the dragon was caught between the ice floe and the golden hill.

Booooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

The gigantic chunk of ice and the enormous golden hill clashed and hit a fortress dragon in the middle.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!

The fortress dragon roared in pain. Even though it didn't die, the dragon received a lot of damage from the impact of the two attacks. The seven dragons flew in two different directions. The four fortress dragons, with one injured, flew towards the right while the rest to the left.

"What!?" Prince Fritz was shocked, and he could only open his mouth wide. Hikaru and the rest of his group also felt the same way, and they seemed to have just met Princess Freya. In the past, they were close to Princess Freya and knew about her abilities. They believed that Princess Freya was weak when it came to attack-type magic. But the scene before their eyes drastically changed their evaluation of her.

Prince Fritz turned his eyes to his sister. Princess Freya also looked at him with a triumphant face. She put her hands on her waist and puffed out her chest proudly as if to say, 'How? I'm strong, aren't I?' to his brother.

"Since when?" Prince Fritz subconsciously asked Princess Freya.

"Hmm?" Princess Freya tilted her head cutely because she didn't understand her brother's question.

"Since when do you have attack magic like that? I'm sure father doesn't know about this either. Did you intentionally hide that from us?" Prince Fritz felt a little disappointed. It wasn't because of Princess Freya but himself after realizing that his sister was much stronger than him. Princess Freya was about to explain, but Kalya's voice cut her off first.

"You can explain it to him later. We don't have time to chat. now is the time to carry out our plan!" Kalya reminded Princess Freya and Prince Fritz.

"I understand!" Princess Freya answered curtly because she understood Kalya's point. On the other hand, Prince Fritz clicked his tongue in displeasure.

Then Kalya's group went toward the four dragons on the right, while Hikaru's group went to the left. Before leaving, Sintaro kept staring at Kyouka until her figure disappeared from sight and then reluctantly followed Hikaru. He lost his fighting spirit after learning that Kyouka didn't fight with them.

Kalya and the girls in her group could fly in the sky because their current strength was at the Magic King level, and some were close to Sage level.

"Deal with a lethal attack as Kyouka and Freya did. It doesn't need to be large-scale as long as you can break through the defense of its scales! Let's get rid of the dragons and help the kings fight the earth dragon emperor!" Kalya gives orders to the girls.

"Yes!" The girls answered excitedly and released their power at the same time. They couldn't waste time with the four fortress dragons as the kings seemed desperate against the earth dragon emperor and needed help.

[Glacier Impact]

[Gold Mine Impact]

[Flame Torrent]

[Spirit Thunderbolt]

[Ice Fire Harmony ]

[Black Hammer Strike]

[Silver Storm]

Kyouka, Princess Freya, Lilith, and Kalya used the attacks they had used as they proved to be effective at breaking through the earth dragon's defenses. On the other hand, Clara cast fire and ice fusion magic which she also learned from Beatrix.

Princess Iris compressed her mana into four giant hammers and struck the four dragons. At the same time, Princess Aishia's attack was in the form of a massive vortex of molten silver with lightning all around it.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The four fortress dragons didn't stand still after sensing the danger of the attack coming their way. The monsters opened their jaws and shot the dragon's breaths with full force.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
