Trapped in Another World With No Magic

Chapter 122: Battle of the Lightning Element

The shuttle touches down on the overlook on the hill that provides an excellent view of the lake spreading out far below and ahead of them.

As the Dragon Empresses, Roeta, Aoloan, and Wenlianna disembark, Geirahoel drags Daniel off of the shuttle briefly.

"Y-You have to follow your own orders, Mukori."

"I'll be careful," replies Daniel.

"If we lose connection to you, we're rushing to you," adds Reignleif. "You'll be putting us in danger, too, if you aren't careful."

"I got it, I got it," replies the Earthling gently.

"I have learned my lesson, Mukori," states Ryuogriar bluntly. "I will not let you go without a farewell kiss." She smirks at him as several women gasp, and Geirahoel immediately takes a step closer, closing off a retreat.

Daniel takes a breath to steady himself, and he puts on a smile. It's a little awkward, but he let himself end up in this situation, and it's a simple request.

Daniel spends another moment being hugged and giving out the requested kisses before boarding the shuttle to more expectant stares, not least of which is Hekate.

He sighs with an amused smile.

Doephluev is the only one to refuse him. "I'll collect my reward later, my Love. A true empress can wait." This earns her a few scowls, but she pays them no mind.

Ucahote has been piloting the shuttle during the love-in, and Senn, Veiranoei, and Gwenesphia's family minus her mother are all doing their best to endure the flight with ginger to help settle their stomachs. It's likely thanks to this that Daniel didn't catch any flak for demonstrating affection to virtually his entire harem all at their own request.

The shuttle closes the distance from the overlook to the drop zone quite quickly, and the golem pilot cautions, "My Emperor, please take caution. There are mana corrupted beasts present near the drop zone."

"Should we take them out from the air?" asks Treia, who also wanted to participate for the honor of her family.

"That would be wise," replies Neith. "Though, if they scatter into the trees, it may be too difficult to pick them off."

"Let's get to the ground first so we can recover our incapacitated comrades," replies Daniel. "Doephluev, Neith, Hekate, Vaergraes; I'll be counting on you to protect us while we disembark."

The four confirm, with Hekate replying proudly, "Leave it to me!"

Daniel and Neith ready at the ramp, and the human mechanic orders, "Ucahote, go ahead and take us down."

"Understood, your Grace. Commencing landing. Prepare to disembark."

The shuttle noticeably lowers from how gravity shifts, and the two at the rear brace for the rapid touchdown. If they waste too much time, the monsters in the area could spring an attack. And, if they don't move quickly to attack, they could end up surrounded.

The shuttle lurches as the landing gear absorbs the shock, and Ucahote's voice calls out, "Green light, your Grace."

"We're going!" calls out Daniel. He holds down the button to cycle the ramp down, and the sunlight fills the troop bay. Neith shifts to the center, a heavy revolver in his right hand, and a magic-infused sword in his left, ready to fight.

As soon as he can, the grey dragon steps out onto the walkway even as it continues to lower, and he quickly scans around them looking for hostile beasts or monsters.

He hops to the ground and continues his checks, and Hekate bounds out behind him, cheering as she lands on the ground. "Ha!" She looks around, aiming her ice blaster. "Where are they at? Let me at 'em!"
