Campione! - Volume 20 - Chapter 6.4

Part 4

「This corridor is……different from usual@」 

Luo Cuilian yelled in astonishment.

『Fairy Corridor』that Madam Aisha created. Inside was a dark space that was like the universe with tens of thousands shining stars. 

The absorbing wind was still going strong, sucking her in deeper and deeper into the corridor even now. 

However, Luo Cuilian was optimistic at first when she was caught. If she was carried to the past with this, then she would just perform time travel and go back until the present time, she thought. 

If she was sent flying until somewhere in the realm of the dead, then it would be even simpler. 

She could repeatedly transfer and return to the original location. 

She had a long connection with Madam Aisha even if it was unwilling on her part. During that time she had experienced similar forced travel like this twice. 

But right now her Daogu’s spirit instinct screamed at her!

「The destination the corridor is connected to this time――is not the land of this world.」 

She didn’t understand to where! 

But# Luo Cuilian’s spirit sense keenly felt# that it would be a land she wouldn’t be able to easily go home even with all the wisdom and power she possessed. 

The greatest holy sect founder under the heaven let out a sigh while being carried inside the corridor.

「For the time to use that to really come……I have prepared it beforehand.」 

She had the experience of getting done in by this mysterious corridor over and over. 

For that reason she was always thinking constantly that she had to prepare for the worst. And she also discovered the answer during her continuous battle as godslayer.

「O spiritual red earth of Chang’e flying to the moon」 

A black pill suddenly appeared on Luo Cuilian’s hand! She had carried it secretly for long! It wasn’t something created by humans, but a secret medicine of an immortal. It was the same item with the medicine that appeared in the mysterious story of『Chang’e Flying to the Moon』. 

Chang’e――! That was the name of a goddess that fell on earth! 

She was eternally young and immortal when she was living in heaven. However, owing to unavoidable circumstances she moved to take residence on earth and became someone with limited life span. One day her husband that was an immortal hero but also fell to earth like her obtained a wonder medicine of eternal youth and immortality! But# Chang’e monopolized it and she became immortal once more and ascended to heaven. 

In the end she couldn’t reach the heaven and settled down on the moon in the middle of the way. 

This――pill had a similar effect with the wonderful medicine that allowed Chang’e to ascend to the moon. 

Luo Cuilian swallowed it in this moment. 

「HA!」 

Her body was filled to the brim with divine power of flight and Luo Cuilian soared in the space that looked like the universe. 

She also ignored the troublesome aborption wind and easily flew. Her aim was of course the exit of the corridor, the battlefield of devil king civil war where her little brother was waiting. 

Average flight technique wouldn’t be able to fly inside this corridor. 

Special『wing』was needed. For example something like the wonder medicine that allowed someone to ascend to moon that was “the closest thing to another world for mankind”――!

「I will return right away, Godou! Know well the greatness of your elder sister!」 

Luo Cuilian boasted. Her body was blazing hot. 

This too was the effect of『Chang’e Flying to the Moon』 ――no# it was the side effect! A great exploit like flying to the moon couldn’t be achieved without continuously burning one’s magic power and stamina. 

She would become the last victor without fail before all her strength was completely consumed. Luo Cuilian soared the sky with determination.「Chih」 

Dejanstahl Voban clicked his tongue.

「I’m getting dragged into this troublesome cave again……」 

He was restrained by the thunderously roaring absorption wind and carried――into the depth of the universe inside the corridor. 

Different from the real outer space, he could breathe without any problem! However# he didn’t have any intention to be obedient just because of that. 

Voban chanted the words of power.

「Open, gate of underworld. Queen of underworld, the elder sister of mother earth, descending to the territory of the fearsome Ereshkigal, now is the time I surpass death.」 

He was done in once more by Madam Aisha. 

But while it was really unwilling, he had a long relationship with that woman. This was the fifth time he was pulled into the『Fairy Corridor』. Naturally he had thought about various plans of resistance.

「The revival of underworld ruler of dragon and snake Inanna……observe carefully!」 

Sphere of bluish black light came out from Voban’s body. 

It suddenly――transformed into a gigantic demonic beast “dragon”! Its body size was nearly thirty meters# and it spread its lengthy wings with a flap. 

Its dragon scale was black agate color. Its sharp dragon eyes were emerald green.「Hmph. How rare to use this in succession after yesterday.」 

The jaw of the black dragon let out the voice of Marquis Voban. 

Right now the soul of the fierce demon wolf king was dwelling inside the large body of the dragon. And then, the flesh body of human Dejanstahl Voban fell into temporary death state and it was grasped by the dragon’s hand――the right front leg! 

The soul separated from the body and transformed into dragon. It was the authority『Otherworld Dragon』.

「Let’s go!」 

Voban that became dragon shook off the absorption wind and began to soar. 

He was heading to the exit of the corridor, advancing under his own power. 

He couldn’t fly inside the corridor even using the flight magic of the Dead Servants. He knew that from his past experiences. But, it was a different story if it was the black dragon that came and went between the underworld and the surface world――! 

It was the hypothesis of his servant who had deep knowledge in sorcery. That was why the moment『Fairy Corridor』was opened, Voban stopped useless resistance right away and began to heighten his magic power. 

In order to change into dragon even for a second faster and accomplished his escape. 

However, there was also a troublesome problem.

「For me to end up in a situation where my own body becomes a burden……」 

The black dragon advanced while resisting the absorption wind trying to drag him. 

The dragon’s right hand was holding Dejanstahl Voban in temporary death state. Perhaps he should entrust it to someone among his Dead Servants. No. 

That man should be waiting in the devil king civil war, at the last battlefield――! 

Thus, Kusanagi Godou witnessed it. 

How from the『Fairy Corridor』his elder sister Luo Cuilian danced back with celestial maiden’s flight and Marquis Voabn that turned into black dragon leaped out.「Can’t be helped huh.」 

Godou shrugged. 

Who would ever thought that they would even prepare countermeasure for when they were captured by that corridor. 

It must be because both of them were really cautious against Madam Aisha. Now he could only switch over his attitude.

「For this plan to go smoothly――is not my expectation# though I hoped for it.」

「What’s the matter! You can just think of this as the continuation of the battle yesterday. This is a fresh start of the direct confrontation between team me and Godou against the old people team.」 

Doni winked beside the grumbling Godou.

「If we defeat those two over there, or beat them up until they cannot move before kicking them into the corridor, then it will be our win!」

「Well# something like that! I’ll take on that gramps!」

「Oho Godou. So even your feeling timid to take on your big sis?」

「Yeah# she is thoroughly a troublesome person……that’s just a lie! But I’m better suited to take on that gramps more than you! That’s all!」

「Perhaps that’s true! Then# let’s go with that plan!」 

They finished their short planning through the whispering. 

Four Campiones were gathering at the crushed ancient Greek style temple. 

The absorbing wind that pulled into the space rift――『Fairy Corridor』had weakened considerably, calming down to a gentle breeze level. 

Godou had called off『Warrior』the moment he saw the elder sister’s figure! That was because he sensed that he wouldn’t stand a chance by fighting with an intense headache. 

Luo Cuilian smiled gently, staring at Godou and Doni. Of course that smile didn’t come from an affectionate heart! It was the joy of battle that was making the woman that was hard to please be in a good mood. 

And then, at the sky above. 

A black dragon was calmly continuing to circle around. 

It did that while looking down coolly to the youngster group below. Its right front limb was clutching the sleeping Marquis Voban. Was that an obvious weak point, or an opening to temp them――!「I guess I’ll know when I try having a go!」 

Godou whispered simply and pointed with his index finger to the sky. 

Lightning fell from the thunder cloud, aiming at the right front limb of the dragon. The ninth avatar『Goat』was going strong. 

The power to control lightning and the people’s heart were still belonged to Godou. *GOU! GOU! GOU! GOU!* 

Lightning strikes were falling in succession and hit the large body of the black dragon hard. 

But# none hit the “sleeping Voban” at the right front limb! It also looked like the dragon was casually covering the body. The dragon was gliding very smoothly away from this place. Seeing a crack that looked like smile at the mouth of the ferocious demonic beast, Godou was convinced.「Telling me to follow huh!」 

Godou on the ground was also smiling fiercely and began to dash following the flying dragon.

「Are you showing your back to me, little brother?」

「Oops! It’s my job to be sect founder-sama’s opponent! I wish you can accompany me here.」 

When Luo Cuilian called at the back of her little brother, Salvatore Doni spoke as though to halt her. 

Devil king civil war, this was its last round――! 

Godou was thinking so while chasing after Marquis Voban who turned into a huge dragon. He dared to exclude from his head the possibility of fighting the survivor of the battle between his elder sister and his self-proclaimed rival.
