Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 376 - 376 Stella



After all, he was the overlord of the sky. His powerful physique and combat instinct took effect. When death approached, the dragon flapped its wings and roared. Its elemental affinity was activated. It suddenly raised its position and raised its head to dodge the beheading axe. However, how fast was the Transformer’s attack? It was endless and struck the dragon’s chest.

A large amount of blood mixed with burning flames shot out.

The sharp attack carried the inertia of Mach 2. Even if it passed through the defense of the shield and dragon scales, it still easily broke through the dragon’s body. The unprecedented pain made the dragon roar.

!!

The mage on the dragon’s back immediately cast a healing spell. The dragon’s powerful physique began to heal on its own. In the raging flames, the ferocious wound began to squeeze and narrow.

However, the next moment, Horus raised the battle shield in his left hand and stabbed the huge tower shield into the dripping wound. Then, he reversed the axe blade and slapped it forcefully!

The dragon wailed again. The huge tower shield was blasted into its body like a nail, stopping the healing of the wound and causing it extreme pain.

The flesh and blood living beings of the world followed their bodies’ instincts. The intense pain made the dragon unable to flap its wings and maintain the wind-element charm. The huge creature suddenly lost its speed and fell!

The engine started!

Horus pressed down on the tower shield and pressed down forcefully. The wings behind him spread out, and the flame tail shot out. The powerful engine continuously increased its strength, and the total thrust that broke through 200 kilograms pushed the roaring and wailing dragon to continuously accelerate. It fell to the ground under him like a meteorite.

The screaming dragon felt death approaching, but the intense pain and fear had already made it unable to use the dragon language magic. It desperately opened its mouth and tried to spray flames, but the autocannon rising from Horus’s shoulder roared and fired. The violent explosion and impact struck the dragon’s mouth, exploding until it wailed vaguely!

“In the sky!”

The law students of St. Covero University looked at the sky and cried out in surprise.

The battle against the dragon made their blood boil. They instantly killed two Dragoons and blew up the encirclement of the Elven Air Force. The third dragon was falling quickly. They could even hear the tragic wail of this legendary beast on the ground. Such a battle result was enough to be recorded in the history books and be sung by bards forever.

They watched the battle below excitedly, wishing they could replace him.

The students of St. Covero University were the mages of Goethe. Now that the city was about to be broken, other than a portion of the local students who had been picked up by their families, the other foreign students and a portion of the local students had requested to participate in the battle. However, even in the most dangerous situation, Grand Duke Goethe did not sign a comprehensive recruitment order for them, because under the perfect and terrifying war machine of the elves, these young students could only die for nothing.

The students who were unwilling to watch from the sidelines went to find Instructor Stella and finally obtained the approval of this Grand Duke and Second Daughter. They were willing to fight for Goethe to the end and formed a reserve mage regiment, preparing to serve as support for the city. However, before their work could completely begin, the steel wings swept over.

They had witnessed how an alchemical weapon turned the tables in the blink of an eye and defeated the Elven Air Force who was showing off in Red Maple City.

“The landing place is the Meditation Forest!” Someone shouted. “Let’s help!”

Although he said that he was helping, his excited expression had already exposed everything.

Most of these students had already learned the Eagle Eye Technique and could see the situation of the battle in the sky relatively clearly. The alchemical weapon that was like an iron bird was shockingly fast. Its speed was freer than the wind and was like a knight sweeping through the sky. Its beautiful and smooth appearance revealed an intoxicating beauty.

Without a doubt, the person who designed and made this weapon was a true alchemist.

They thought so.

However, in the blink of an eye, this conclusion was overturned.

He was not a master alchemist.

He was the God of Alchemy.

Due to the collision with the last Dragoon, this steel wing instantly transformed into a huge mechanical armor. That smooth and shocking transformation process, that powerful appearance, and the sharp figure captured all the men who were paying attention to the battle—men who did not want to drive huge robots did not exist!

Even in the other world, huge transformation robots could instantly capture the hearts of all men.

“Instructor Stella!”

“Your Highness!”

Although they urgently wanted to take a closer look, their gazes still looked to the side. The head instructor of the reserve mages of the St. Covero Academy, the Grand Duke’s second daughter, Her Highness Stella Tedrell.

At this moment, the dragon and steel whistled down and exploded into the meditative forest. A huge sound wave whistled and spread, and the ground shook, even causing the distant academy buildings to shake. Dust flew and rose into the sky.

The tragic dragon roar had already disappeared.

The students and teachers looked even more anxious.

Stella Tedrell had also inherited her father’s blond hair, but her eyes were inherited from her mother’s gray eyes. Her shoulder-length blond hair was braided and fell to her chest from her left shoulder. Her slender figure was hidden under the blue armor and white-lined mage light armor. The tidal staff in her right hand shone with layers of gentle blue light. When she saw that the dragon was falling with such a huge commotion, she immediately said, “Instructor Snow, Instructor Carna…”

She chose two teachers and five outstanding senior students to help her investigate. She also pointed out the backup cover guards. The others kept a distance and were allowed to observe with the Eagle Eye Technique, but they had to listen to the instructions of the instructor. This was a foolproof plan. Although the teachers and students who were not chosen were disappointed, they followed it coldly.

Three instructors brought five law students to the meditation forest.

The news of the Grand Duke had been sent earlier. Stella already knew the identity of the Sky Knight, Kang De, the Cathayan, the man chosen by her sister. Even at the moment of battle, this name was still the focus of discussion among the Tedrell family and even the nobles of Red Maple City.

Moreover, its popularity was getting higher and higher.

The mysterious Easterner had gone through thick and thin with his sister. Then, he had taken the initiative to interfere in the war between the elves and Goethe. Moreover, he had become famous in Valentine and shook the continent.

Envy, admiration, curiosity, questions, and everything.

Stella, her brother, sister, and even her father had complicated and subtle thoughts about the husband their sister had chosen herself. In the past, they would definitely investigate this person inside and out and test him. Morality, talent, strength, and bloodline were indispensable. Moreover, their sincere feelings for Tina had to not be shaken. Only then could they open the door of the Tedrell family and let that kid in—but that was only in the past.

Now, Goethe was on the verge of collapse under the attack of the elves. The glory of the Tedrell family was about to die with the wind. It could be said that the skyscraper was about to collapse. At a time like this, the fact that the Cathayan could still take the initiative to interfere in this war and stand on Goethe’s side was already enough to make Stella look up and thank him. If this person still had the terrifying power to destroy five elf legions in a battle, it was simply enough to be called a favor.

Moreover, not only that,

Not only did he help Goethe in a critical moment, but he also helped the elves make peace in the battle of Valentine. Moreover, when the battle restarted and Red Maple City was about to fall, he soared into the sky in a heroic manner and arrived in time. He destroyed the Elven Air Force easily and revived Goethe’s decline.

Stella felt that she had nothing to say about such kindness and help.

What was the point of testing and investigating? Even the gods could not object to this marriage.

He was even a little jealous of his sister.

Why could she pick up such an impressive man after running out?

If he had known earlier, he would have forcefully suppressed her opinion back then. He would have still gone to the capital.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. What kind of thought was this?

It was fine if it was anything else, but he did not want to snatch this.

She shook her head and chased away the chaotic thoughts in her mind. No matter what, Kang De was undoubtedly Goethe, Tedrell, and Red Maple City’s allies, friends, and benefactors. What she had to do now was to find him as soon as possible, confirm the target’s safety, and try her best to provide assistance—any help was fine.

She flew at a low altitude with the Flight Technique and continuously accelerated.

...

He was indeed a little worried.

It was mainly because the steel giant pushed the dragon to the ground. Moreover, there was no movement until now. Could it have fallen? No way?

The few of them rushed all the way to the Contemplation Forest. The beautiful scenery of this St. Covero Academy had already become a mess. The forest had collapsed. Many arches and fountains in the forest were also scattered. In the center of the fall, they saw a huge impact hole with flames burning inside.

That was the manifestation of the characteristics of the second law of magic. The powerful magic factor in the dragon blood was dissipating into the low-magic air. Burning was the manifestation of this violent change.

Stella rose slightly into the air, but the scene of the circular impact was covered by the lingering flames. She waved her staff and summoned ice spirits, trying to extinguish the flames. At this moment, the sound of machinery roaring sounded. A huge steel hand stretched out of the hole, pressed the edge, and exerted strength.

“Gods…”

The sigh came from an academy instructor. Although the mages grasped the mighty power of the world, they could not help but retreat at this moment. Their heads gradually raised because a huge steel giant crawled out of this impact scene and stood up. The burning red dragon blood slid down from the silver armor and body and dripped to the ground, burning even more violently. The giant bathed in the dragon blood flames, like a hero bathing in dragon blood in an epic, or like an indomitable Titan in mythology.

Under the cover of the flames, many exquisite and complicated parts continuously operated, emitting cracking sounds that were extremely shocking. Especially when he faced it directly, he could feel an incomparable impact. Countless small and detailed structures combined without any delay. They spun, rewound, pushed, and reset without any deviation. It was as if it was a perfect work personally created by the gods, causing the small mortals to only praise and revere it.

The flames gradually extinguished. At this moment, the mages saw the change hidden under the flames.

The extremely corrosive and hot dragon blood left indelible traces on the steel giant’s armor and body, but it was not damage, but fine and magnificent dragon patterns. The power of elements gathered and cheered around it. The dark red light was clearly extinguished, as if the giant had absorbed this dragon blood, not corroded it. Could alchemical weapons also bathe in dragon blood?

Stella jolted and recalled the goal of her trip. The woman looked up and shouted, “Kang De! The Cathayan, Kang De! Are you in? I’m Tina’s sister! Are you alright?”

...

She called out twice, but there was no response. The mechanical giant only stood in silence and looked down at her, like a god looking down at mortals. Stella wanted to fly by force, but just as she moved, the giant made a deterrent and was in a deadlock for about two minutes, so much so that Stella had already begun to use the short-range communication device to contact her father.

Only then did she hear the voice.

“I’m here.”

The spatial door opened. A figure stepped out and took off the strange helmet.

Stella turned around and saw the moment Kang De took off his helmet and revealed his true appearance.

His short black hair was reasonable and his face was a little different from what he had imagined.

It was better to say that it was not beautiful, but what attracted Stella was no longer her appearance, but something other than her appearance. Her slightly pursed lips, calm eyes, and firm expression were engraved with a compassionate temperament. That was the reason and will for him to interfere in this war. He was here not only for love and promise but also for some higher and more ethereal reason.

It was this higher and more ethereal thing that made Kang De look different. The dragon flames lingering behind him, the towering steel titan, and some slightly uneasy people.

His movements were a little messy, and his expression was a little uneasy as if he did not know how to face his wife in front of him, as if the hero who had fought in the sky and helped Red Maple City was not him.

For a moment, Stella did not know what to say or do.

He only smiled gently. “Hello.”

At this moment, she was still standing at the front, so much so that other than Kang De, no one saw her current smile and expression. If the instructors and students saw this, they would definitely be in disbelief.

Instructor Stella could actually show such a princess and daughter-in-law expression.

Kang De was stunned for a moment, then nodded. “Hello.”

He did not exchange pleasantries with Stella. He looked at the sky. It was still red. The whistling of spells swept past. “I should go. The war is not over. Everyone, be careful.”

With a mechanical sound, the giant half-knelt. Its chest opened, revealing the seat and driving device inside. Its iron palm was like a throne as it picked up Kang De and sent him in.

The mages looked at all of this in shock and tried their best to observe the details, but they could not understand anything.

They were like a group of country bumpkins.

The mechanical giant took a few steps back. Its wings sprayed flames and it soared into the air. Then, it flipped a few times in the air. The parts were reorganized and deformed. It stretched out the tail of the wing and pushed forward with the vector vent, returning to the sky.

The mages watched it leave.

A student said faintly, “I want to transfer to the alchemy department.”

The others could not help but nod.

Stella frowned slightly. She was a tyrant of Tedrell and was very good at teasing people. Of course, she was scheming. At this moment, she came back to her senses and recalled their previous communication. She felt that something was wrong.

—Yes! That alchemical giant crawled out first as if stopping me. After a while, Kang De came out. What was he secretly doing earlier?

With this in mind, she heard an instructor shout, “Eh, where’s the dragon?”

She walked forward and looked at the huge hole that had been knocked out from the edge. Dragon flames burned in it, and there was still smoke. However, the corpses of the dragon and the knight were already gone.

There was no residue left.

—Where did it go?

Even if his body was shattered, it would not be so fragmented.

Stella’s heart stirred. She soared into the air and looked up at the sky. The steel wings had already rushed into the sky of Red Maple City. There were faint cheers all around. Everyone in the city saw the alchemical weapon fall to the ground under the last dragon. At this moment, when it returned to the sky, it was obvious who would win.

He felt proud.

The sky of Red Maple City was not qualified for elves to fly.

She watched as the steel wings continuously accelerated. In the end, they broke through a limit, just like how it had shaken off the Elven Air Force. However, what appeared at the end was no longer a white fog-like dress, but a crimson flame battle dress. The trembling explosion also became a roar like a dragon’s roar.

This was really…

Stella revealed a complicated expression and slowly exhaled.

‘Tina, the man you found is a little impressive.’

“Greetings, Grand Duke. Our army has already taken back the air control of Red Maple City and is about to cooperate with your army to launch a counterattack and provide close-range air support and over-the-horizon firepower suppression.”

The walkie-talkie in the Grand Duke’s hand sounded with a mixed electronic sound.

“Please indicate the target. Where should we start?”

The Grand Duke’s complicated voice sounded from the walkie-talkie, “Young man, I apologize for my previous contempt and thank you for what you did. However, I think it’s relatively more dangerous to counterattack. The elves won’t let the matter rest. There’s magic assistance fighting in the city, but I think…”

Why was this old fellow so polite?

Just like Tina. Should he say that they were indeed father and daughter?

Kang De rolled his eyes and shouted, “Lord Sword Saint! Tell me!”

Immediately, Hillmelia’s scolding sounded from the walkie-talkie, “Move aside! You’re in the way!”

He could even hear the Grand Duke’s surprised and indignant protest, “He’s here to help. How can I let him do dangerous things… Also, what do you mean by ‘you tell me’? I’m yours after all…”

Kang De shook his head.

Then, he heard Hillmelia’s decisive words, “Kang De, the Elven Air Force has already been destroyed. Next, the greatest threat to Red Maple City is the mages and magic device positions outside the city!”

“Roger that,” Kang De said. “I’ll blow them up.”

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.”

With a dragon roar, the fighter jet suddenly soared into the sky and continuously climbed. Then, it rushed out of the city. Kang De’s helmet display uploaded the image processed by Horus. The elemental power surging around his body flowed through the Transformer’s body and poured into the bomb on the mount.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s better than ever.”

“Then, are you ready?”

“I’m ready at any time, Father.”

“Alright, let’s start washing the ground!”
