Summoning the Holy Sword

As the alarm blared, fighter aircrafts took off in a formation of four, whistling toward the destination. The pilots prepared themselves quickly for the upcoming battle.

“Eagle Eye III, this is Eagle Eye I. We’re heading to the destination. Maintain formation! Scan the radar and search for the target!”

“This is Eagle Eye II. Captain, what exactly did you say we’re going to face? Those old dudes up there sure are panicky.”

Gazing at the radar screen, the wingman asked in confusion. Even though the pilots had an emergency take-off, they weren’t aware of their mission even until now. Their higher-ups commanded them to reach the destination and stop the intruders, but as for who the intruders were, they never mentioned it. Could they be foreign hostile aircrafts? Or was this just an exercise for a secret mission? The intruders shouldn’t be aliens, right…?

The pilots wondered what the officials were up to, making the entire situation top secret. Besides, the order they received was to hold back the intruders until the evacuations were completed… This was their first time receiving such an odd command. Although they were full of doubts at the moment, obeying orders strictly was their duty as qualified militants.

“It isn’t up to us to worry about the mission. We’re approaching the targeted sea region! Everyone get ready for battle!”

“Captain, there is a response from the radar… it’s a space shuttle!”

Almost at the same time, a long trail of fire whistled across the fighter aircrafts from above. The massive and powerful airflow almost disrupted their formation.

“Damn it, what’s with that space shuttle. Is it in a hurry to kill itself?”

“Cut the crap. Beware your surroundings. There are movements ahead…! Everyone get read—”

What should I do?

Right now, he didn’t have any more strength to summon more spirits. But if this continued…

Before Dr. Martin figured out what he should do, the space shuttle rumbled abruptly. His heart sank instantly. His emotionless face finally displayed a terrified and uncertain expression. He lifted his head subconsciously and looked out the window. What came into view was the pair of golden eyes of the dragon. At this moment, his expression finally twisted. He lost all ability to think as he stared blankly at the menacing eyes and trembled all over. The sirens trumpeting over the cracks in the space shuttle had vanished in his ears. An unparalleled sense of fear erupted inside him.

“No…!”

Smack.

The sturdy space shuttle was as though a child’s plastic toy as it was shredded into bits under Erin’s claw. Erin was totally disinterested by its predicament. She stretched out her front claw and emanated a string of dazzling radiance from her palm and wrapped the black slate that was floating above.

Good. It has all ended.

Neglecting the final wails and terrified screams of the corpses before they were torn apart, Erin gazed at the sealed black slate in her hand proudly. Perhaps due to the fact that Martin had used its power on the moon headquarters earlier, it didn’t respond while being sealed by Erin. The young lady nodded in satisfaction before turning her hand around and putting it away. She lifted her head and gazed at the sky, intending to leave.

Since Her Highness Lydia and His Majesty Rhode are here, they should have a way to bring me back. In that case, I just need to head back where I came from and look for them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But at this moment, the guided missiles whistling from the back struck her heavily and interrupted her thoughts. She turned back and saw several ‘metallic birds’ flying toward her. She was taken aback, but quickly narrowed her eyes in a dangerous look.

As the noble moon princess, Erin thought she had given them enough preferential treatment. Even though the ‘Bubble’ and ‘Canary’ in this world explained to her the differences between this world and the Dragon Soul Continent, Erin didn’t believe all of their words. Of course, she also considered the fact that they were ordinary people in this world and wouldn’t know the internal affairs of the higher-ups. But now, even though she didn’t know how the other regions were doing, it was apparent to her that this country she was facing had something to do with Chaos. If not, not only did they not retreat after witnessing her strength, but they also continued their attacks on her… hmm…

“Seems like I need to give them a little warning.”

At this thought, Erin widened her mouth and along with this movement, an energy sphere coalesced in her mouth. Then, a silver-whitish beam of light swept across the sky, causing a series of loud explosions. In an instant, the dozen, most-advanced fighter aircrafts were blasted into bits. But this wasn’t enough to satisfy Erin. Previously, she had destroyed many of their powerful weapons and thought that it was enough to make them back out of her way. But now, it seemed like the ‘alchemical techniques’ in this world were extremely developed. If they were in the Dragon Soul Continent, any force that had their formidable ‘magic cannons’ destroyed by her would choose to retreat temporarily. But now, the hostile forces didn’t seem to waver to her destroying their military equipment at all. Besides, it also seemed like the advanced ‘alchemical techniques’ in this world allowed them to rebuild powerful weapons in a short period of time. Perhaps it wouldn’t be effective no matter how many she destroyed. Not only that, but it might also trigger them to rebel even more. In this case… she also had a corresponding way to stop them.

At this thought, Erin turned around and gazed at the huge city ahead. Unlike cities in the Dragon Soul Continent, this city here wasn’t surrounded and protected by city walls. There were many ‘magic towers’ and it also seemed to be highly populated. In this case… I shall give them a warning and teach them an unforgettable lesson.

Erin made her decision, fluttering her wings and soaring toward the huge, brightly-lit city.

At this moment, air-raid sirens filled the sky. The bustling metropolis fell into complete chaos. Erin’s brazen attack and massive size had terrorized everyone who watched the live stream on televisions. And now, this massive dragon had turned around and headed toward them. This caused massive panic among the people as they drove away from the city as quickly as possible. On the other hand, the military forces responsible for defending the city also gathered quickly, setting up all sorts of defensive equipment on the roofs of high-rise buildings. Everyone tense up as the large dragon flapped its wings and approached them. They gazed at the scene before them palely, totally unable to imagine how they could stop this massive presence. But at the thought of protecting their home and people, they embraced themselves, lifted their weapons, and aimed at the enemy! Even though it might be a futile resistance, they would never allow this terrifying monster to destroy their city!

“Fire! Fire!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Upon hearing the command, a string of flares erupted from both sides of the streets. The air defense missile systems set up on the roofs of the high-rise buildings were activated swiftly, releasing hundreds of missiles at the monster ahead. The intertwining barrage of attacks formed an incomparably sturdy net of fire that attempted to stop the dragon.

But it was a pity that what they did was just sounding the death bell earlier.

Erin was curiously and cautiously sizing up the tall buildings that towered into the clouds because be it humans or undead creatures, none of them were able to build such tall and mighty ‘magic towers’. But in this city, they were found everywhere. Moreover, the city wasn’t surrounded by strong walls, so Erin thought these ‘magic towers’ were their ‘defense facilities’. Even though the series of attacks earlier didn’t leave a scratch on her skin, she continued to raise her guard. After all, she knew how powerful mage towers in the Country of Darkness were. Previously she didn’t witness similar buildings on the moon perhaps due to them not being built. But here, maybe the city possessed some mysterious and powerful strength…

If Canary and Mini Bubble Gum knew this was going through Erin’s head, they would surely regret not imparting her some knowledge in this aspect earlier.

And now, Erin confirmed her suspicions upon facing the sudden ambush. The ‘magic towers’ were indeed used to protect the city!

Alright then, I shall start from them!

At this thought, Erin narrowed her eyes immediately. She emanated a dazzling spiritual radiance from her body, which turned into a beautiful and huge magical shield in front of her to defend against the missiles. Then, she dove and landed on her feet in a loud boom. The statue of a goddess holding a torch was crushed to bits by her stomping. Erin lifted her head proudly and squinted at the brightly-lit city.

The moon princess sucked in a deep breath of air…

A white light of destruction erupted. The eye-catching brilliance devoured the deep night sky entirely, overshadowing the luminous light above the land in an instant. After a few seconds, a pure, dazzling white radiance expanded in all directions, enveloping the entire region. Before the tall buildings collapsed, they were crushed into powder by a formidable light torrent. Before one could visit the tall twin towers that were finally built after a long time, it was devoured by the dragon breath like melted snow in the sun alongside the other buildings, vanishing silently without a trace.

After half a minute, Erin’s dragon breath came to an end. The scenery before her had turned into something completely different. The bustling metropolis no longer existed, be it the towering buildings or bustling streets‚everything was nowhere in sight. The powerful dragon breath wiped out everything completely and even created a deep hole that was almost a hundred kilometers long. Everything that belonged there became history. The ground no longer existed and seawater poured into the flat, smooth, and enormous hole. Perhaps after a while, this place would turn into part of the ocean.

Admiring this pitiful sight she made in satisfaction, Erin expanded her wings, soared into the sky, and gazed into the distance. At this moment, no one dared to attack her anymore because they lost their consciousness and didn’t know how to deal with everything that just happened. This was like a nightmare to them. In an instant, their home, people, and families were destroyed without leaving behind a trace. Reality was so cruel that they refused to believe its authenticity.

But Erin didn’t care at all. Even though this moon princess was peaceful in nature, she grew up in the Country of Darkness without caring for others’ lives, especially those of lackeys who were in cahoots with Chaos and challenged her time and time again. She didn’t mind teaching them an unforgettable lesson.

After confirming that they received her message through this attack, Erin nodded in satisfaction. She turned to the tragic city again and squinted. Then, the survivors heard her sweet and crisp voice in their heads.

“This is a warning, humans. Don’t go around touching what doesn’t belong to you. If you remain stubborn, you will only head down the road of destruction.”

Erin said and spiraled around the city once more. She lifted her head and fluttered her wings. With powerful gales, the enormous black dragon soared toward the moon.
