Part 2
---[Underwood Underground City] Emergency Medical Treatment Point.
Due to the fact that this was a hastily assembled medical treatment point, the injured were tightly packed into the small and narrow place.
With sixty percent of the residential buildings burnt, they could only set the injured to lie side by side.
Fortunately, the works to put out the fire had been completed quickly. All thanks to the huge Water Tree and the river that flowed outside the city, it made the process of putting out fires progress smoothly without a hitch.
But what made everyone seem to rejoice should be the fact that all the Demonic Beasts, that were the clones of the huge Dragon’s body, had also completely disappeared.
The violent winds that were whipped up by the huge dragon had swept all of the huge Demonic Beasts up and back into its body. Since the game had entered the stage of Trial Jurisdiction, the huge dragon was also required to retrieve its clones.
But if one looked at it in another perspective---Just a mere act of the huge dragon retrieving its clones had already caused the Titan tribes and [Underwood] to be almost wiped out. The huge dragon just had that much power in it.
Even in Little Garden, the world of gods, it was still seen and revered as the [Strongest Class] of all the species.
As befitting of the title of a Demon Lord, just by the writhing of its body, it already held the power to completely destroy the spirits of the participants.
In the meantime, the [No Name]s had all gathered at the Medical Treatment Point to ascertain each other’s conditions.
After entering the state of Trial Jurisdiction for fifteen minutes or so, Izayoi, Kuro Usagi, Asuka and the others had managed to successfully meet up……However, even after much hunting around, the Kasukabe Yō and Leticia were still missing.
“……I guess this is it. Even after searching for so long and we still didn’t find them, I guess it would be best to assume that Kasukabe, as similar to Leticia, should have been caught up in some abnormal circumstances.”
“But……But Kasukabe-san can fly in the skies. I don’t think she would be in trouble……”
“Ojou-sama, that just happens to be the opposite. Kasukabe can fly in the skies, her five senses are acute as well but she is unable to meet up with us. This can only mean that there is some important reason.”
Izayoi used a serious tone, which was quite rare from him, to make his clarification known. Asuka sucked in her breath to try to hide her worry and surprise, but it was still evident on her face.
“Come to think about it, was it true that Leticia got captured?” Turning to face Izayoi once more, she seemed to want a reconfirmation of the situation.
“Nn. And this Game is a Gift Game hosted by Leticia---[Draculea Demon Lord].”
Izayoi took out a black Geass Roll from his school uniform---[SUN SYNCHRONOUS ORBIT in VAMPIRE KING], and read out its contents.
After hearing the contents, Asuka shook her head with a complicated expression that was difficult to be placed into words.
“……The contents sure are a mess.”
“Well, that’s not really the case for at least, the game is structured quite well. After that, we will just have to ask Kuro Usagi to confirm a few things……”
“Izayoi-san! Asuka-san! I’ve news on Yō-san’s whereabouts!”
“Really?”
“YES……but the situation seems to be bad.”
A pained and brooding expression seem to surface on Kuro Usagi’s face.
In her arms, she was carrying a Calico Cat who was unconscious with many scrapes on his body. Although Izayoi and Asuka didn’t know what could have happened, they were still able to deduce the severity of the situation from Kuro Usagi’s expression and Calico Cat’s condition.
Shifting their gazes back to Kuro Usagi, Izayoi asked the appropriate and direct question:
“……What’s with Kasukabe?”
Kuro Usagi’s expression had grown sombre and her rabbit ears drooped as she replied:
“According to eye-witnesses,...... Yō-san wanting to save the child was ensnared by the Demonic Beast’s grasp……”
“Chased the Demonic Beast and the child up into the skies when they were retrieved by the main body.”
Kuro Usagi and Jin’s report caused Izayoi and Asuka to draw their breaths in surprise.
The few of them then lifted their heads to the skies. Their sights were trained upon the citadel which appeared together with the huge dragon hovered in the far off skies.
“You mean……Kasukabe-san had gone into that Citadel alone?”
“……yes.”
Asuka’s face turned pale whereas Izayoi who stood beside her did not hide his frustration and worry as he gave a very audible click of his tongue.
No matter how strong his Gift was---[Flight] was something that he couldn’t do.
“……Kuro Usagi, if that is true, then the people who were swept by the winds should be more than just Kasukabe right? So what are the other Communities planning to do?”
“About that, they will be arranging for a discussion to be held with the [Draco Greif] Alliance shortly. According to the news Kuro Usagi gathered from her ears, it would seem that there’s also an important figure of the [Draco Greif] Alliance who is still currently unaccounted for. If things go well, Kuro Usagi guesses that they may form the rescue team by tomorrow.”
“……Oh? An important figure in the association huh…No wonder their actions are that fast.”
Izayoi muttered softly but did not ask further.
Kasukabe Yō and Leticia. Having lost their only two comrades who could fly, the group of [No Name]s could only stare at the Ancient Citadel floating in the skies with frustration and anxiety.
