Chapter 360: The Clash of Dragons (1)

—

Neji and Rumi tried to talk sense into Rhongomyniad's head, and at first, it seemed to be working. Neji had hope blooming in his heart that he might not have to fight – in the end, they might get her back to her senses with words alone.

However, luck hadn't been on his side lately.

Despite saying "Do not attack them" to Bedivere and Agravain just a moment earlier, the Goddess Rhongomyniad stood up abruptly from her throne as the lance named Rhongomyniad materialized in her hand.

"Looks like it didn't work."

"No choice but to beat her up, then."

The air turned colder, and passive auras started to dance in the air like music to the ears. The mood changed fast, and the attackers sighed.

Though it was mostly just Neji who was a little disappointed that it didn't work. Contrary to his reaction, Rumi looked determined to fight. No, she was looking forward to the fight from the get-go.

Ryuko Tatsuma had been her friend and sparring partner for years, but due to her gentle nature, she never went all out against Rumi – causing Rumi to win all of their fights. But now? Since she was out of her mind, she wouldn't hold back.

In hindsight, Rumi realized being excited was stupid since Rhongomyniad was Tier 25, while she was Tier 22. Still, she couldn't suppress the urge to fight.

One problem was, there was not a solid goal behind all this battle today. As in, what would they do to her after winning? Winning in itself would be hard, if not impossible, but in either case, what to do after she is beaten? Neji didn't have any mind or soul-healing powers.

As if reading his mind, Rumi leaned to his side and said,

"Well, remember the ancient technique of beating the shit out of people to make them return to default settings. It's gonna work, let's trust the process. Don't be a pussy and remember your own rule. Was it in the lines of, 'It's fine for me to beat my girls up, as long as they're not dead'?"

"Haha, right."

Neji gave an awkward chuckle and decided it was time to go all out.

"Rush forward, I will join in a bit."

Rumi nodded and kicked the floor, cracking it as her form blurred past the senses of everyone. While the imaginary battle music grew in the area, Neji also kicked the ground, though he was rushing far from the group.

Quetzalcoatl, who was on the side, took that as a sign to enter the battle and also rushed forward while Agravain and Bedivere went in to try and stop her. But the two knights were also confronted by Fujimaru, Mash, and Merlin.

The rushing Rumi had a small grin on her face as she went towards the woman, Goddess Rhongomyniad, who was apathetic like always. Rumi blinked in space and appeared right above Rhongomyniad, her body spinning, and a Luna Fall falling towards the latter's head.

With no change in expression, the dragon blocked the attack with her lance; however, it wasn't a casual block. An overwhelming wave of power was released from the clash, and Rhongomyniad slid two steps back. Rumi smirked, and Rhongomyniad frowned.

"I-Impossible!"

Agravain, who was clashing with Mash, exclaimed in shock when he noticed the step that his King had taken back. It was stunning to him, and he realized he and Bedivere had to finish the small fries faster and focus on the bigger fish.

"Merlin! Stop this madness, it's not too late to redeem yourself. Join us!"

So Agravain started to ask the great mage for help, but she just maintained a small smile and continued to support Mash and Fujimaru.
