In the sky.
The Albion Dragon transford into a hypersonic fighter jet, effortlessly breaking through two, then three tis the speed of sound, rapidly reaching five tis the speed of sound, and its velocity continued to soar!
The initial strike caught Eiji off guard.
But now prepared, he imdiately adjusted his posture, using an advanced force-redirection technique to channel all the impact into the ground. Although dozens of residential buildings were shattered, he erged unscathed.
Imdiately after, the Albion Dragon soared into the sky, flying at an incredibly fast acceleration under the sunset-like sunlight.
"Truly terrifying speed."
Eiji stood up from the rubble of the houses.
The sight of the soaring chanical dragon drew an unreserved admiration from him.
In this fairy kingdom, absolutely no one could match her divine speed!
But unfortunately.
"When your advantage is divine speed, facing ans you have no advantage left!"
Eiji mobilized the blood throughout his body.
Ten pitch-black bat wings burst forth from his back!
The power of the seventh Familiar allowed him to instantly break free from gravity's constraints, his body levitating into the air.
Then, with a gentle flap of his wings—
"Boom!"
After taking off, he instantly surpassed five tis the speed of sound!
His figure resembled a hypersonic missile, shooting toward the chanical dragon in the sky like an arrow released from a bow!
A distance of several thousand ters was covered in rely the span of a breath!
The chanical dragon was wholly focused on increasing its speed when it was abruptly startled by his sudden burst.
It was as if he had predicted her flight trajectory, attacking from below and to the side. By the ti she realized, it was too late—he struck her abdon with astonishing force!
The chanical dragon let out a mournful cry.
Its body tilted, sent flying several thousand ters away, its soaring speed abruptly interrupted.
"Hum—!"
After stabilizing itself, the chanical dragon roared, scattering the atmosphere.
As if its engines ignited, bluish-white flas erupted from its tail, accelerating it once more as it charged headlong toward Eiji!
"Phew... this speed is really hard to handle!"
Eiji, having crashed into the chanical dragon, also ca to an abrupt halt.
Mid-air with nowhere to redirect the force, just one collision made him feel as if all his bones were about to shatter.
Fortunately, the True Ancestor blood inherited from Arcueid imdiately boiled, the scorching blood instantly healing his injuries. From the outside, not even the slightest trace of damage could be seen!
Seeing the chanical dragon accelerating and charging toward him, Eiji curled his lips into a smile.
A dozen or so gem-like crystals suddenly materialized in front of him, layering to form a natural shield.
"Boom!"
Like a sudden clap of thunder on a clear day.
Under the intense impact, the chanical dragon was sent flying backward!
Eiji, however, seed completely unaffected, not even moving an inch.
Most of the crystalline shield in front of him shattered, but it was restored in the blink of an eye.
Its magic-inflicted tearing claws were incredibly powerful—this shield, derived from the first Familiar, could theoretically withstand attacks from a True Ancestor's Familiar, yet she had torn through most of it!
"Does it still have its sanity?"
Eiji gazed distantly at the chanical dragon soaring in the sky.
He extended his hand, channeling magical energy into it. Golden particles gathered, forming a golden light-sword over a hundred ters long.
"No, it seems she's completely controlled by resentnt, leaving only her combat instincts!"
The chanical dragon crashed headlong, battered and bruised.
But the next mont, she adjusted her posture and roared once more, diving toward Eiji!
Even though she couldn't possibly shatter all the shields, she continued to crash, spin, and dive, leaving countless thunderous echoes across the sky.
Her deanor showed no trace of rationality.
Driven solely by lingering hatred, she would not rest until he was dead.
The Fairy Knight Lancelot, the dragon fairy born from the Albion Dragon, Britain's most beautiful lusine, had been utterly consud by the curse.
Transford into a calamity!
Eiji let out a sigh.
His resolve solidified.
"Roar!"
The massive chanical dragon charged again.
Bluish-white flas erupted from its maw!
The temperature of those flas surpassed tens of thousands of degrees, effortlessly burning through layer after layer of shields, rapidly closing in on Eiji.
"Boom-crack!"
At that mont, bluish-white lightning surged forth.
The lightning collided head-on with the flas, the two forces wrestling, contending, and canceling each other out. Light and heat turned the surroundings into a lifeless zone, yet neither could gain the upper hand in the short term.
Simultaneously.
Eiji swung the light-sword in his hand.
"See you in the next life."
Like a hot knife slicing through butter.
The light-sword, enveloped in a silvery-white magical glow, swept past the chanical dragon, which was recklessly focused on its assault.
A seemingly effortless diagonal slash.
Cleaved the chanical dragon's body from shoulder to waist in two.
The chanical dragon's charge ca to an abrupt halt.
Its body split along the diagonal line, slowly falling freely toward the ground.
Under this single strike.
Not only was the chanical dragon itself destroyed, but even the resentnt of the northern fairies surrounding her was severed and dispelled.
After all.
A chanical dragon whose only advantage was speed could never have been a match for Eiji from the very beginning.
With ample magical energy, no one could possibly surpass his speed!
Only at this mont.
The chanical dragon's crimson eyes returned to a clear blue.
The rationality obscured by hatred finally resurfaced.
But by then, it was already too late.
The last thing reflected in her eyes was the figure of a man bathed in sunset-like radiance, resembling both a demon and a god.
He watched her fall, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.
She had known all along.
Unlike her pure disdain for Aurora, Eiji's repeated mockery stemd from his disappointnt in her, his frustration at her self-destructive actions.
That mocking tone was actually ant to provoke her, to make her abandon Aurora—soone unworthy of such devotion.
But she had failed to live up to his expectations.
In the end, it could only culminate in this outco: being struck down by his blade.
"Ah... if only it hadn't been Aurora who pulled from the murky swamp back then... how much better it would have been..."
With that thought.
lusine's consciousness faded into darkness.
Just as he had said.
There was no saving her in this life.
If there is a next life, she hoped to love soone truly deserving of that love.
If... such a person truly exists.
On the ground.
Gazing at the Albion Dragon falling from the sky, Percival remained silent for a long ti.
"Farewell, sister... my beloved."
On the other side.
"Hey, Eiji!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka waved vigorously, trying to catch the attention of soone in the sky.
Thinking her voice might not carry that far, she had Mash deploy her Noble Phantasm. A massive fortress appeared on the ground, which indeed drew Eiji's attention.
Eiji slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of the group.
Soon after.
"Vroom——!"
With the powerful roar of an engine approaching from afar.
A snow-white aerial warship sped rapidly through the distant sky.
