Chapter 361: The Clash of Dragons (2)

—

The Holy Lance's wave of energy crushed upon their two figures, causing Neji to turn his back to the beam and hug Rumi. His back took the entire blow, his armor heating up, as he shot down through the tower's floors with Rumi in his arms.

"We are going to hit the ground."

"Not on my watch!"

Rumi yelled, a rift in space opened, and the two of them fell right through. The rift was to lead them back into the tower, however, Rhongomyniad appeared to be blocking any spatial interference – so the two of them only reappeared far above the tower.

At the very least, they regained control of their forms and maintained a flight in the sky. They observed the aerial battle that the tower and Ozy's pyramids were getting into.

From the sky, Neji also saw the name of the Tower Dungeon.

[The Tower of Apocalypse]

While called the Tower of the End by the people of this world, his system had given it a slightly different name. As said by Sisty before, this tower was also the Tower Dungeon of this world.

Not that Neji could get curious about it at this moment, mid-battle as he was.

"...She's trying to open a portal to someplace. What's she up to?"

Rumi used her Byakugan and looked into the throne room. Neji frowned and did the same, blinking in contemplation.

"It's weird. Can you stop her?"

"I'll try countering her teleportation with mine, but it won't last long. We have to rush back in."

"Let's go."

Rumi did as asked, disrupting Rhongomyniad's teleportation momentarily, and then the both of them rushed back inside.

The glass window of the tower's highest floor was their path in, and as Rumi slammed against it and slipped in — Neji crashed against an invisible barrier.

"What the-?!"

"Neji?"

"Sisty, what's this?"

[Uh, master, it looks like there has been a little problem. Now that the tower has been deployed, and classified as a tower by the system, entering it like this isn't possible. You can only enter through the gate beneath, but entering that will only bring you into the Dungeon, not this tower.]

"How the fuck does that make any sense?! Fix this quickly!"

[Yes, on it.]

"Rumi, move in, I can't enter due to some weird mess up."

"Okay."

Rumi looked a little confused but she just nodded and rushed back in.

Rhongomyniad was wearing a frown as Rumi approached, and Neji noticed a bloody Quetzalcoatl fighting her.

It seemed Quetzalcoatl finally managed to slip past the two knights and kept Rhongomyniad until now. It caused her to bleed like a mess, however.

"Tsk, can't believe I'm going to play support, but-"

Neji raised his hands and then cast a healing spell. One, two, three, and so on. He continued until Quetzalcoatl's blood vanished and all her wounds closed.

The blonde chief god blinked and shot a look outside the window. When she saw Neji with his hands raised, realizing it was him healing her, an adorably large smile bloomed on her face.
