Volume 22 Chapter 10-5

Although Sora Aoi had left the meeting room, she didn’t go to the deck . She carried Yingkong to the hold area . As she was a psyche force user, protecting her own safety was sufficient . There was no need to personally face team China in battle . Psyche force user’s usage lay in the grand scheme of things, and not the minute details .

“Kuraki-kun, when you pass on, I’ll surely follow after . ” Sora Aoi said quietly in her heart . After exhaling, she pushed open the door and entered the room . She then put her full attention into manipulating the psych force scan, scanning all the attacking team China members within .

At this moment, team China had already completely launched their attack . The destroyer was charging over to the fleet, and submarines below the sea blew apart one after another . There was simply no submarine with the opportunity to near the destroyer and launch an attack . After the continuous submarine explosions, the destroyer had already neared the perimeter of the fleet .

The outermost warships had already completed their preparations . When team China entered the range of fire, several anti-ship missiles were fired . There was a large impact on the range from the storm, and the two sides were practically close enough to look at each other before they fired their missiles .

When the first missile flew thirty metres out, a silvery light shone on team China’s destroyer . Four arrows flew out at the same time . The arrow behind would strike the tail of the arrow in front, causing a explosive collision . When only a single arrow remained, its momentum was akin to a lightning bolt . It pierced through the foremost missile at a speed that vastly surpassed the limits of what the human eye could follow . The missile paused momentarily in mid-air, before being penetrated by the arrow, exploding .

The arrow that drilled through didn’t stop, but instead struck the side of a cruiser . It pierced through the metal plates and hit the centre of the ship before even a second or two had passed . The arrow’s power didn’t decrease in the slightest, and passed through the other side of the cruiser, finally flying off to places unknown . . .

Heng silently measured the power of the four arrow explosive shot, then placed one of the four arrows in his hand down . He only pointed three arrows at the remaining missiles . If it was just to annihilate these missiles, the three arrow explosive shot’s might was completely sufficient . This would also let him conserve his strength, so that he wouldn’t be unable to deal with these missiles after being exhausted .

Zero besides him ignored the missiles, only watching the sea surface with rapt attention . Wangxia was standing behind him, several miniature nuclear bombs floating around him . The nukes were already being controlled by his Bomb Dominator, and could initiate an explosion attack at any moment, their power even greater than normal miniature nuclear bombs .

Behind the three was Xuan . He gazed silently at the sea surface, a rune appearing in his right eye . The rune was a little different from the one in Eragon . Apart from the rune, there was a black and white light faintly intersecting, forming a Taiji diagram . They were continuously coming together and coming apart, everchanging . If someone were to look closely into his eyes, they would definitely find their vision going blurry .

“Alright . The remaining submarines are already gathering in the centre of the fleet . Let’s continue our attack . ” Xuan looked at the sea surface for a while, and the rune as well as Taiji diagram within his eye vanished, except that he seemed much more haggard .

Not long after Xuan spoke, an enormous roar came from behind . An immense black dragon appeared there . The deck couldn’t accommodate its bulk, so the black dragon had no choice but to stand, and the entire destroyer sunk down slightly . The destroyer only reverted to its original state when the dragon extended its wings and flew forward .

This black dragon was indeed team China’s black dragon doggie that had evolved not long before . Zheng had given it to Honglu as a mount . It had been sleeping in the Tamer Medallion since then, until Honglu released it at this moment . To it, only a second had passed . The black dragon was actually quite obedient, and let Honglu’s group of three sit on its back . With a long howl it flew up and soared towards the distant United States Seventh Fleet .  [1]

The soldiers of the Seventh Fleet was flabbergasted . They were but ordinary people, so when had they ever seen such a terrifying organism before? That immense body as well as the very image of the giant dragons in Western fantasy, immediately aroused a disturbance among the naval soldiers as soon as it appeared . A majority of the soldiers at their stations made an uproar, and a few were even terrified that they collapsed, paralysed on the ground . For a moment, apart from a very small minority that held fast to their posts, the counterattack of the fleet at the perimeter of the fleet stopped . The terror this black dragon brought was much greater than team China imagined .

“Ehh? This is good . If I knew earlier they would be this scared, I’ll have called out the little doggy earlier . ” When Honglu saw the soldiers below running away, and a few even jumping into the sea, he immediately said laughingly .

There was slightly a whining sound, as the cruiser below fired off an anti-ship missile . No one knew which daring soldier had launched it, and the black dragon happened to be flying close by above . It couldn’t avoid in time, and unable to guard in time as well, the black dragon’s lower abdomen was directly struck by the missile . With a violent booming, the black dragon was immediately enveloped in the explosion’s blaze . The soldiers below were all shocked, and for a time everyone stopped to look silently at the sky, wanting to know whether the black dragon had been blown apart by the missile .

Unexpectedly, when the blaze dissipated, the black dragon was hovering in the air, seemingly unscathed . Its figure was covered by a faintly visible layer of defensive barrier, which had blocked the explosion . Instead, it blew out true fire due to the missile .

ROAR!

The black dragon howled at the skies, belching out a stream of flame . A white colour appeared within those flames . It directly landed on the cruiser . Many navy soldiers transformed into ash before they could let out a sound . The flames continuously began to melt downwards . As if it were chocolate, the steel alloy began to melt, and became molten liquid within a moment . The dragon’s flamethrower lasted for tens of seconds, melting a giant hole in the cruiser’s centre of ten metres in diameter . It was unfathomably deep, practically melting through the entire cruiser . As if it had vented enough, it snorted out black smoke from its nostrils, flying to another warship with he three in tow .

Miyata Kuraki, who was standing on the distant flagship’s deck, saw all this . The psyche force scan imprinted it vividly within his mind . He saw even how that missile was blocked with that visible defensive barrier and that horrifying blazing white flamethrower of that black dragon, as well as the nearing Zheng Zha . It was meaningless to talk anymore about living on . They had wrongly gauged the gap between the two sides, and the painful consequences were about to come . No, it wasn’t just the painful consequences of that, but the painful consequences of always using the words yellow monkeys .

“It really isn’t an unjust death . ” Miyata Kuraki muttered to himself . Besides him, the two men, one young and one old, stood there resolutely . The young man patted his shoulder lightly, not saying anything . However, this was enough .

Miyata Kuraki slowly raised his head, black runes appearing faintly on his skin . When he completely raised his head, they completely appeared .

“Kamamiya Tonomoto and Mitarashi, do you think the Chinese still deserve to be called yellow monkeys?” Miyata Kuraki asked mutteringly .

The old man, Kamamiya, laughed hoarsely . “I’ve never thought the words yellow monkey should exist . They self-righteously called out these words as their minds, eyes, ears and souls have been deceived by the right . Those familiar with history and the world won’t say this . It’s just that us few have no power to change anything . That’s why even more we need to live on, so we can return to the real world and change our race’s bad habits . We need to let them understand that the weak aren’t to be bullied, and the strong aren’t to be worshipped . We should actually learn from that indomitable spirit of the Chinese . It’s those who improve themselves who are truly strong, and not those who are already strong that are actually strong . ”

The man called Mitarashi nodded lightly . Miyata Kuraki sighed, “Tonomoto hasn’t said those words to me before . I’ll keep these words in my heart . Now that I think about it, our Yamato people’s warrior spirit was long since as you said, Tonomoto, where the weak aren’t to be bullied, and the strong aren’t to be worshipped . It’s only that those in power distorted it, so as to fit in with their militaristic thinking as well as their filthy right wing thinking . Now, the warrior spirit we Yamato people speak of has long since change for the worse, which is why we look down on our past teachers and benefactors . We even committed unforgivable crimes against them . Even now those in power don’t want to admit, which is why we only think the strong are to be respected . That’s why there’s this bad habit of ours that American writers speak of . If we don’t die, I will definitely change all this!”

“These are my final words . Gentlemen, it’s my greatest honour fighting to the death with you two . Kamimiya Tonomoto and Mitarashi-kun, don’t lower your honourable warrior heads . The weak aren’t to be bullied and the strong aren’t to be worshipped . Let’s go and find that true warrior spirit again!”

As the words fell, a heavy boom resounded before them . A person had crashed down in front of them, creating a half metre deep hole in the deck before them . A shrill alarm permeated the entire flagship . The surrounding soldiers all directed their weapons in that direction .

Zheng Zha stood within that depression .

[1] A quick reminder on why it can now fly . Pervious chap, Vol 22 Chapter 10-4, they said 'The lighting in the skies should be what’s restricting the flight of flying lifeforms' . They believe that the lightning is God's method of restricting flying equipment, similar to how the dragonshard in Jurassic Park's dragon was how God nullified technological weapons on the dragon .
