Chapter 5 I Tried To Fight The Calamity

After finishing the al, we disbanded for the ti being.

I took a 30-minute nap on the sofa in my room, took a shower, and returned to the control room.

Master-san, the royal capital is in sight!

Surara was in the control room, bouncing on the floor as he ca to my feet. Turning my eyes to the main monitor in front of , I saw a large city beyond the blue sea.

Is that the royal capital?

It was quite large in scale. It was not as large as Tokyo but about the sa size as a large regional city.

The south side of the city faced the sea and was a port like Fort Port. Many ships were coming and going.

Blaznir had been heading north since leaving Fort Port, but here it made a sharp right turn and headed for a place a little to the west of the royal capital.

This is where the calamity will appear.

The wall clock in the control room showed that it was 8:25 am. We arrived earlier than planned.

There was still thirty-five minutes left before the calamity would appear.

Its good to have a little ti to spare. Haste makes mistakes, after all.

Then, lets move as we decided at the strategy eting.

Can you land the Blaznir for a while?

I said, and all the Helper Slis in the control room, including Surara, replied with Yes sir! in unison.

Soon after, there was a low whoosh sound, and I felt a sinking sensation under my feet.

Master-san, weve landed safely!

Surara told with a smile.

Good. Im going to go outside for a bit.

Yes! Take care, Master-san!

I leave the control room and head for the deck. I opened the door to the outside of the ship.

The first thing I saw was a clear blue sky. The morning sun was shining brightly on the ground.

After descending to the surface via the ladder at the end of the deck, I opened my [Item Box].

I thought about taking out the Destroyer Golem and the Grand Cabin. A huge magic circle floats on the ground, and a chanical giant and a super-sized carriage appear.

Its been a while, Master.

Dest the Destroyer Golem, with his left arm on his abdon and his right arm on his back, bowed like a butler.

Is there sothing I can do for you?

Yes.

I nodded and explained what I was going to do.

The plan is for Dest to take Relic and Milia back to the royal capital. They are both non-combatants.

For their safety, Ive arranged for them to stay behind.

I understand! Ill take care of it!

When he finished listening to my explanation, Dest tapped his own chest with a thump, looking very confident.

anwhile, Relic and Milia arrived.

Whoa! Is this the Grand Cabin? Its big, so big!

Kou-san, sorry to keep you waiting. I was a little lost on the ship

No problem. I just got here a few minutes ago. Co on board, both of you.

I opened the door to the Grand Cabin and motioned for them to co in.

Kou-san. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Whats up, Relic?

As I told you yesterday, there are a lot of unread ancient docunts stored in the academy in the royal capital. The docunts might contain sothing useful for Kou-san. So, um

Relic seed to be at a loss for words, and he ruffled his hair with his right hand with a troubled expression on his face.

Fufu. Relic-san is worried about Koh-san, isnt he?

Milia smiled softly and wrapped a smile on her face.

In tis like this, you just have to be honest and tell him to co back safe and sound.

Oh, yeah, thats it! Thats it! Thank you very much!

Relic turned to Milia with a bright look, thanked her, and then turned to .

Ive been doing much research and not socializing, and now Im paying the price. Im sorry, Im sorry. Please be safe, Kou-san. Im rooting for you.

Kou-san. Is it okay if I depend on you too?

Milia cleared her throat and looked more serious than ever.

More than 100,000 people live in the royal capital. If the situation as predicted by Lilys [Foresight] happens, it will be a catastrophe of unprecedented scale. I dont think Relic-san and I will be able to survive.

Its a big responsibility, isnt it?

Yes. As was the case with the Black Dragon, I am sorry for putting the burden only on Kou-san. If you feel that the White Dragon is too much for you to handle, then please, please prioritize yourself first.

I cant make any assurances, can I?

I know.

Milia nodded with a wry smile.

Kou-san is that kind of person, after all. Im sorry. Im sorry for saying sothing strange.

No problem. Thank you for your concern.

Well, Im leaving now. Good luck, Master!

Dest saluted with a resounding clang and then pulled the carriage with Relic and Milia away from Blaznir.

After seeing them off, I returned to the ship.

The wall clock in the hallway showed 8:38 am. Twenty-two minutes to go.

When I entered the control room, I was greeted by Suraras cheerful voice.

Master-san, welco back!

Im back. Its ti to launch the Blaznir. Can I leave the ships control in Suraras hands until the battle is over?

Yes! Ehehe, Im being depended on by Master-san!

Surara quivered happily and pulled out a white hat from out of nowhere. On the front of the hat was embroidered with an anchor-like mark.

I am now the captain of the Blaznir! Ahem!

In response to his words, the slis in the surrounding area reacted.

Wow! How nice!

Captain-san! We are ready to go!

Give the word!

Alright, lets go!

Surara took a deep breath and announced in a louder voice than usual.

Blaznir, lets go!

Aye aye, sir!

The Helper Slis took their places and began moving the ships devices.

Soon after, there was a small shake at my feet.

The main monitor in the front of the ship was showing the surrounding scenery, but the ground was gradually moving away.

It seed that the ship had taken off safely.

Then Im off to the deck.

Good luck, Master-san! Fight!

I left the command center, being seen off by Surara.

Oh, wow.

For so reason, there were rows and rows of Helper Sli on either side of the corridor.

The scene is like a departnt store just after opening.

Were here to see Master-san off!

Be careful! Please dont hurt yourself!

Were rooting for you! Ei, ei, ooh!

Thank you, everyone!

They were cheering from both sides as I made my way down the corridor.

On the way, I saw the wall clock that showed 8:46 am. Fourteen minutes left.

The ti of the decisive battle was gradually approaching.

I went up the backstairs to the deck.

Iris, Lily, and Leticia were already there.

Everyone was already here?

Yes. I felt a little uncomfortable on the ship.

Kou-san. We are almost there, arent we?

Co to think of it, this is the first ti Ive had to fight a calamity. Fufu, my arms are itching for action.

Leticia smiled wryly and delivered a quick jab into the space. It seed that she was fully fired up.

Hey, Kou!

Iris called out to .

In his right hand, she held the Fimbul, the Holy Dragon Spear.

Fimbul told us at the strategy eting, didnt she? She said that she had fought against the White Dragon 4,000 years ago. She told the details just now.

She?

I know Fimbul has consciousness but is she a woman?

Well, thats not the main point right now.

Iris told what happened when Fimbul was an unmarked holy spear.

Four thousand years ago, the people of an ancient civilization had the technology to draw out the power of a sacred weapon, albeit imperfectly, and they gave an unmarked holy spear to a female knight who was known as a master of the spear at the ti.

She then challenged the calamitythe White Dragon of Destructionbut the result was a disastrous defeat.

The female knight lost her life, and the unmarked holy spear was shattered into three pieces.

So, this battle was a revenge match for Fimbul?

Yes. Shes so excited to avenge her own death.

The Fimbuls tips flashed and flickered as if nodding in agreent with Iris words.

That is encouraging.

Ill do my best. You can count on .

Ill be counting on you then.

After saying this to Iris, I turned my attention to Lily. Lily has an anxious look on her face.

I am sure shes recalling the contents of her [Foresight].

Since the White Dragon will appear soon, it is natural for her to be nervous. It would be better to relax at least a little, but Lily is still young and having ntal fortitude is not so easy to do.

I reached out my right hand and patted Lilys head.

Kou-san?

Lily, dont worry. Im sure we can win. We will even defend the royal capital. Isnt that what we have been doing up until now?

Yes But I still dont think that the [Foresight] will co true, so

When Lily muttered in a thin voice, thats when it happened.

Its coming,

Leticia muttered as she looked up at the western sky.

At the sa ti, my [Item Box] was activated by itself.

A magic circle and triangle magic circle float right in front of , and the magic sword Gram appears from there.

No way.

I picked up Gram and pulled it out of the magic circle.

The silver blade was vibrating finely and emitting a tallic sound.

It was a sign that calamity was about to appear.

Wait a minute.

Iris said with a puzzled expression on her face.

The Fimbul she was holding was also emitting a tallic sound and shaking finely.

The White Dragon is supposed to appear at exactly 9:00 am, right? Isnt it too early?

Indeed, you are right.

Leticia nodded as she pulled a pocket watch from her chest.

It is 8:52 am right now. Its eight minutes earlier than Lily-samas [Foresight].

What does it an?

Maybe it noticed our presence and jumped out of bed in a panic.

I made a light remark and patted Lily on the head once more.

There is no need to be in a hurry. Well stick to the plan. Iris, Leticia, please.

Understood! Fimbul, I need your help.

Since we are dealing with calamity, we neednt take it easy. I will show it the brilliance of the teor.

They imdiately get into a battle stance in answer to my call.

Both Iris and Leticia were ready.

But they were not panicking. They were going about with their preparations without showing the slightest change in their color.

Thats encouraging.

I let out a small smile.

Thats when it happened.

Safe modes [Full Assist] was activated, and I heard a calm, inorganic voice.

The seal of the Yggdrasil Bow is released.

It can be used at 20 percent output.

It seed that in response to the appearance of the White Dragon, Yggdrasil Bow had also awakened.

This was a good start.

I imdiately took out the Yggdrasil Bow from my [Item Box].

The bow radiated a divine green glow.

Using Kou Kousakas magical power, it can summon a calamity-sealing arrow.

Hmm?

Calamity-sealing arrows? Thats not a term Ive heard before.

Just as I think that, golden particles overflow from my body and gather in one place.

Eventually, the particles form into an arrow and settle in my hand. Is this the arrow that seals out calamity?

I decided to give it a try.

According to the information that flowed into my mind, the calamity-sealing arrow is effective when released by the [God of Wars Shrine Maiden] and it greatly weakens the power of the calamity.

In short, it would be like a simplified version of the Calamity-killer arrow.

In any case, it was certainly not sothing that would put Lilys life in danger. I could use this without any worries.

I turned to Lily and handed her the Yggdrasil Bow and the arrows to seal the calamity. I briefly told her about the arrows and inford her of the change in strategy.

Ive never heard of a calamity-sealing arrow before. You always surprise , Kou-san.

I have to admit; Im always surprised by myself too.

Im not sure I fully grasp my own strength to begin with.

Whenever I face a major battle, I feel as if sothing unexpected pops out from a black box deep inside my body.

Ill let you know when its ti to shoot. I will give you instructions on the timing.

I understand.

Lily nodded with a serious expression.

She may be sowhat upset that the developnt was different from [Foresight], but she is probably keeping that in check with her self-control.

Its admirable, considering shes still a child.

I patted Lily on the head one last ti.

Then I opened my [Item Box] and drank up the Flying Potion.

Soon after, sothing strange happened. The western sky distorted, and a huge white sphere appeared.

The surface of the sphere was smooth and shiny.

The sky imdiately returned to normal.

anwhile, the sphere continued to expand little by little, vibrating repeatedly in small incrents. Eventually, a crack ran across its surface.

Co to think of it, a similar scene unfolded just before the Black Dragon appeared.

Like an egg just before it hatches, the cracks keep growing.

One, two, three

And then the sphere burst from the inside.

Guuooooooooooooooooo!

After 4,000 years, the White Dragon of Calamity had returned to life.

Good morning, and I hope you go back to sleep forever.

I shout.

Leticia, please!

Very well.

With the reply, a magic circle appears in the sky. Leticia raised her right hand high in the air, and a chain of light extended from her wrist and was absorbed into the magic circle.

The one from the heavens will destroy everything. [Falling Star].

As she chanted, she swung her right hand down.

The movent pulled the chain of light, and a huge teorite appeared from beyond the magic circle.

The teorite size was equal to or larger than the White Dragon. The teorites surface was red-hot due to friction with the atmosphere and it fell with a roaring sound.

Gah!?

The White Dragon had completely stopped moving. It probably didnt expect to be attacked so soon after its resurrection.

It was a fatal gap on the battlefield, but for us, it was a great opportunity.

G-gaaaahhhhhh!

The impact of the teorite knocked away the White Dragon.

Did she manage it?

Id like to say that, but there was no way the ga could be won at this level.

Guooooooooo!

The White Dragon roared and spat out a white flash from its mouth. The flash hit the teorite squarely.

In the next instant, the teorite was quickly turned into ice.

That flash was, in essence, a freezing ray.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The White Dragon scread loudly, twisted its body, and slamd its long tail into the teorite.

With that blow, the icy teorite shattered into pieces.

Its surprisingly clever, isnt it?

Leticia muttered in a whisper.

I can use the [Falling Star] at least two more tis. Shall I continue the attack as planned?

No, wait.

I stared at the White Dragon with my eyes and observed its condition.

It looked like it took a deep breath.

Its coming.

Iris, set up the barrier.

Understood, Ill take care of it!

Iris raised the Fimbul high.

The tip of the spear shines, and theTrue Dragon God Barrier EXwas activated.

The surroundings of the Blaznir which was carrying us were wrapped in a silvery-white protective wall. Imdiately after, a white flash was released from the mouth of the White Dragon.

It was probably the sa freezing ray as before.

However, the defensive power of the barrier was so great that it completely blocked the ray of the White Dragon.

Kou, thank you for the instructions.

Iris said as she glanced at .

How did you know the attack was coming?

I had a bad feeling about it. But more importantly

The White Dragons movents had slowed down considerably.

The damage from the teorite slamming into it was probably still lingering.

Now was the ti to strike.

Lily, please.

Yes!

With a short reply, Lily pulled the strings. The arrow was released to seal the calamity.

As soon as the arrow slipped through the barrier, it was clothed in a shimring radiance and turned into a golden teor.

The arrow pierced the White Dragons body and disappeared as it burrowed into the body.

Gua?

Apparently, the damage from the arrow was minimal, or even zero. The White Dragon looked down at its own body curiously, not seeming to be in any pain.

Eventually, it took another deep breath and tried to release the ray, but all that ca out of its mouth was just a breath.

The calamity-sealing arrow seems to have rendered its power to manipulate cold air unusably.

Guuuuuh

The White Dragon let out an exasperated roar and flapped its wings.

Is it going to charge at us?

No, it wasnt.

It turned in a circle and turned its back on us. It was about to fly away.

It seed to realize that it was outmatched and chose to flee.

I wont let that happen.

Iris deactivated theTrue Dragon God Barrier EX and readied her Fimbul. The tip of the spear shone brightly and brilliantly.

The reason why it felt more dazzling than usual was maybe because it was the perfect opportunity to return the humiliation from 4,000 years ago.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

With Iriss shout, Fimbuls other granted effectAbsolute Freeze EXwas activated.

A blue flash is released and strikes the White Dragon. The ice began to spread little by little, starting from the spot where it hit.

Guu?!

The White Dragon roared in confusion.

It was understandable.

It was supposed to have the power to manipulate cold air at will, but now, on the contrary, it was being covered in ice.

Gaaaaaaaahhhhh!

The White Dragon, who seed to have finally understood the situation, wriggled violently and tried to escape from Fimbuls flash.

But it was too late. Its limbs, wings, and tail are increasingly covered in ice.

Guaaa!

Finally, its head was also completely covered in ice.

The White Dragon, which had turned into a block of ice, began to fall.

Iris glanced at . Our eyes t.

With that alone, I understood what she was trying to say.

Ill leave it to you to finish it off.

Okay.

As I nodded, I used the effect of the Flying Potion to manipulate the wind and soared into the sky.

I poured magic power into Gram and activatedGod of War Slash S .

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

As if carrying the sword, I held it in the air and swung it down! A slash of light was released from the blade.
