"Oh, there's another similar one. Do you want to kill him? Novia."
After killing Wolfgang without hesitation, Melusin sensed a similar aura at the door leaving this floor and asked the silver-haired boy behind her.
"You don't have to do this, sir. Although I am a dead apostle, I just came here to witness whether Wolfgang Faust's plan can succeed. I am not one of the conspirators. I also purchased the blood food legally in the hospital. So although my life is controlled by you, sir, please... show mercy."
Seeing this, Brad knew he couldn't run away, so he could only remove the magic that blocked himself, bent over, and showed a sincere attitude in front of the few people.
However, when he really saw the face of the silver-haired man not far away, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
Although Novia didn't know who the blond Dead Apostle in front of him was, he did not feel the aura of the soul core dissipating from behind him, and the aura on his body was also extremely weak, which meant that he was not lying.
So he nodded slightly.
“Thank you very much.”
Brad first walked out of this floor respectfully, and then left the unblocked maze as quickly as possible.
After everything was resolved, Novia was about to check on Shion Hiroshi and Aika to see how they were doing.
At this moment, Meilushin put her hand into his collar and passed the warmth of her hand to his body, so Novia subconsciously lowered his head.
"I'm very happy to be together like this... Also, Novia, you know, I'm a dragon... So I still love body temperature at night... By the way, when I came here, I saw a hot spring on the first floor. Novia, why don't we go take a dip... and increase our body warmth..."
087: Nero: Oh
Although Novia had no objection to taking a hot spring bath, Shion and Aika also agreed.
However, after Melusin dragged Novia to the hot spring first, she immediately used her ability to isolate the two people behind her who had not yet entered the hot spring.
The result is like this -
"Damn it, that dragon..."
Because the hot spring was covered in all directions by unknown magic, Miss Aiga couldn't even see it if she wanted to, and could only squat aside and mutter to herself.
When she thought of the silver-haired girl who transformed from a dragon, an extremely complicated expression appeared on her face.
This guy is obviously shorter than me, but his body...is more undulating than mine...
After thinking of this, Ai Ge, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly showed an expression of loss on her face.
On the other hand, Shion did not look disappointed at all. After learning that she could not enter the hot spring, she just calmly explored the sun magic circle in the maze that was almost destroyed.
She understood why Melusin planned to take a hot spring bath alone with Novia. After all, that was usually the character of a dragon. But for Shion... well, it wasn't that urgent.
As Shion, whose origin is 'Shiari', she has some understanding of Melusin. After all, it was she who sent her body back according to the contract a thousand years ago. It was not just her credit, because the Roman Emperor Nero at that time also helped.
To Shion, Shiari is like Amaterasu to Tamamonomae. She is the original existence. She is not someone who has been possessed by another body, but an existence from her distant past.
During her exploration, it seemed that the maze solar magic circle had been modified in some places, but with the autonomous destruction of the subspecies holy grail, the magic circle also destroyed itself, and the specific circumstances are currently unknown.
But the more Shion looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong, because this transformation method had a feeling similar to that of the Atlas Court and the Holy Church.
Could it be that the blood-sucking Wolfgang Faust's heroic spirit experiment was instructed by the two? What was he trying to do?
The purple-haired girl really is, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
When Shion came back to her senses, she suddenly discovered that Aige was no longer squatting in the corner. Instead, she was lying directly on the ground not far from the hot spring with her hands on her stomach, like the so-called Sleeping Beauty.
When Shion got closer, she discovered that the three Command Spells on Ai Ge's body were being consumed one after another, and her face turned as red as an apple.
She did know that in the previous subspecies Holy Grail War, Aika Sajo was the Master of Novia, but it was useless. But why did she use it only now? Could it be possible to use the Command Seal to reach the inside of the hot spring? I can also take a look...
Out of curiosity and also out of the desire to take a hot spring bath with Novia, after a thorough thinking process in his mind, the fifth etheric line of the micron unit connected to the Shion bracelet invaded Aigo's brain nerves from behind like a living thing and completely inserted its signal.
Start to check what is emerging in Ai Ge’s mind at this moment——
"Is this... a hot spring in the labyrinth? High in the sky? So it's a third-person perspective? Does the Command Spell have a similar function as surveillance...?"
Just as Shion roughly understood her current situation, her gaze began to look towards the hot spring below.
"This is my first time taking a bath with you, Meilushin."
"I like it very much. This is also my precious first time."
A boy and a girl, or a man and a dragon, but there seems to be a kind of infatuation in the dragon's eyes.
Perhaps it was because of Novia's body, which appeared in the sight of Shion and Aika at the same time.
"You have a great body, um, great... Let me see it more clearly, Novia."
The silver-haired girl's breath and voice leaked out from her lips, and then with a snap, she hugged Novia.
Therefore, the skin that had turned red after being soaked in the magic spring was tightly pressed against each other.
.......
"Oh? After seventeen rounds, you failed in the end? I thought you would succeed. I was a little bit looking forward to it."
In a place completely shrouded in blood red, the sky appeared a deep and rich blood red, as if covered by thick blood. Not a ray of sunlight could penetrate. The ground was covered with thick blood, forming patches of dark red swamps.
The seven-headed dragon crawled on the ground in the blood. It was a thing that once existed and should no longer exist, but it was also a thing that climbed up and returned from the bottomless depths on its own initiative.
Approaching the city from the other side of the waves that rose without wind, another desire was born in the center of the golden vortex as the king of the world who holds the power to blaspheme all things and is in charge of affectation and decadence.
"But I guess the restraining power must have gone to waste. Did they summon a so-called saint? In the end, both the quality and quantity are just third-rate stuff."
In this bloody world, there is a throne that stands out.
The throne was carved from dark red stone, with bright blood flowing on it, as if it was seeping out from the inside of the stone.
On the throne, Nero, who had been reduced to a beast, and now the petite figure named Draco were looming, and his beastly posture was exactly the same as when Novia first met him.
Her face was shrouded in a bloody shadow, with only a pair of scarlet eyes flashing dangerously.
Although she supported Goetia's idea of burning human nature, she also had her own plans in private. For example, the solar magic circle in the seventh labyrinth of Elcatras was the work of her after it was transformed and distributed among the soldiers. She wanted to see if the vampires who devoured many spirit cores could directly pull people down without going through the Throne of Heroes.
Otherwise, how could a blood-sucking species have the ability to bind its followers to one place?
But alas, it failed.
But Draco didn't care whether the inhibitions intervened or not, because the repair had failed anyway.
After all, this experiment was just a casual act for her, and she was not even worthy of being considered a key target by Draco.
"teacher."
She called out to the existence that was irreplaceable to her.
".....teacher."
I really want to see you, where are you?
The Holy Pope who became a beast would never say that.
She knew that everything she did should not happen to her teacher Novia, but——
".............I am already a sinful beast. You will have to punish me."
She turned her gaze away from the swaying sea of blood, hugged her tail, curled up on the throne, closed her eyes and began to reminisce about the past.
Then, the beast seemed to hear the distant and nostalgic voice from the past.
088: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
Generally speaking, being able to soak in a hot spring for a whole night is obviously unlikely.
But for the girl who was the incarnation of the strongest dragon and Novia who had the 'Dragon Heart' to provide energy, one night was still too short for both of them.
But it was the first time for Novia to truly experience this kind of thing, and to be honest, she naturally felt a little embarrassed, but she quickly got into the mood.
In short, Novia, who was still very energetic after a whole night, finally decided that it would be better to get out as soon as possible. There was no need to overdo this kind of thing, as it would happen anyway.
"Okay, it's almost time to end. We've been soaking for so long."
Novia gave Melusin a gentle kiss on the corner of her mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Meilushin carefully leaned close to Novia's ear and whispered, "It's only one night. You have the support of my Dragon Heart. Three days and three nights will not be a problem..."
The beautiful voice of the Dragon Girl and the breath from her sexy lips and teeth brushed against Novia's ears, which was enough to create a wonderful itchy feeling in her heart.
"obedient."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Novia."
The silver-haired girl took her fair and slender wrists away from Novia's chest and began to put on her clothes slowly, slightly revealing the edge of her skirt and changing her wet white suspenders into a new pair.
"By the way, Novia, can you help me put it on, please?"
Maybe the girl was just joking in her own way, but she did stop to put on her garter stockings and lazily crossed her legs slightly, dangling on her toes on Novia's chest.
Novia did not say "Do your own thing, do you think you are a child?", but instead turned and looked in the direction of her toes, narrowed his eyes, then grabbed them and circled the girl's feet.
"No, Novia, please don't do this... I'm so itchy... I can't bear it anymore..."
"Then don't bear it anymore."
In the end, he still delayed a little, and finally took Meilushin away, and the two of them stayed in the hot spring for the whole night.
The magic trick of removing the shielding of the hot spring environment, probably because the hot spring had been airtight for a long time, suddenly the entire third floor of the maze was filled with warm air.
Just like Novia and Melusine whose bodies were all red due to soaking in the hot spring all night, Sajo Aika and Shion also had a slightly red body. When they saw Novia and Melusine coming out, they lay on the ground together and their bodies couldn't help but tremble. After taking a deep breath, they slowly got up.
The obvious hazy eyes that appeared towards Novia in an instant, as if he had not slept all night, seemed to be looking at Novia's whole body from top to bottom meaningfully, and also showed an appearance of wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Seeing this, Novia probably understood why. Maybe the magic sound insulation effect set up by Meilushin was not very good?
He will deal with it after returning to Romania. He is not too worried and has also thought about the future development.
This time I brought Melusin out, and after a while I will go to the United States to participate in the Holy Grail War there and summon Nero.
'Friendly reminder, the one-day limited time travel is about to end.'
As soon as they walked out of the maze gate, they were able to see the dense green forest and the soft sunset.
But what followed was that the system prompt box suddenly appeared in front of Novia.
He stared at the system subtitles in front of him in a daze, because the option of "travel through time" was flashing and refreshing.
Unlike in the past, this time the time period was not marked on the time travel item, only: ???
As for the final five-minute countdown, Novia thought about it. If it was limited to one day, it would probably be triggered between defeating Wolfgang and letting the blond Dead Apostle go. So, is it related to Dead Apostles and Vampires?
Could it be that... it is the era when the Age of Gods has not yet declined?
But he rejected this idea as soon as it came to his mind, because it seemed impossible. Since the system had never displayed any timeline of the Age of Gods since it was obtained until now, the common Nordic Age of Gods, Greek Age of Gods, and Japanese Age of Gods were all missing.
However, if the dates were not marked, it would have eliminated the possibility for Novia to carefully consult historical materials before this time travel and ultimately take control of the overall situation into his own hands.
In other words, for this time of traveling, Novia can only rely on the history, legends, and myths that his brain can remember.
But there is actually no need for Novia to take this risk. After all, the status and deeds gained in Rome are all engraved in the world, which is a dream that the planet allows all life to have.
This was enough for him to ignore the possible human incineration. After all, Goetia still owed Novia a life.
Logically speaking, Novia no longer needs to worry about this unknown time. If it wants to go, it should spend it in a relaxed way while knowing the development of history. Anyway, it should just wait patiently.
but--
Novia had a hunch that there must be something extremely related to him behind that, as if it was something that happened because of him.
This premonition was so strong that even when faced with unknown possibilities, he had made a decision in his heart.
"Mei Luxin, Ai Ge, Shion, I have to take a nap now, I'll trouble you later."
The silver-haired boy looked into the eyes of the three people and spoke. As he became determined, his vision suddenly went dark and his unsupported body leaned against Ai Ge, who reached out his hand the fastest.
In the darkness of his consciousness, he didn't know how much time had passed, but a vicissitudes of life and as if exhausted voice slowly sounded in his ears.
"Elder, this child... How could there be an abandoned child in a place like this... This is a big desert..."
"This must be God's will. God is telling us that the direction we are taking in interpreting the murals is correct. If we continue in this direction, we will surely find God's traces."
"Then this child......"
"Just raise him. The Romans have also liberalized trade, so we can still support a child now."
