Chapter 291 27
Princess Iris, Kalya, and the others were flying at full speed because they wanted to get to where the kings fought against the earth dragon emperor as soon as possible. Princess Freya kept urging them to hurry because she had a bad feeling in her heart. On the other hand, Princess Iris and Princess Aishia also felt the same anxiety. Even though they didn\'t say it like Princess Freya, their faces showed their feelings.
Kalya and the girls were already not far from the battle\'s location between the kings and the earth dragon emperor. It didn\'t take them long to get to that place with their current flying speed. But when they arrived at their destination, the girls were greeted with the sight of the kings covered in blood and facing the dragon\'s breath that they could not escape.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
"Father!" Princess Freya, Princess Aishia, and Princess Iris screamed in panic. They lost their composure at sight and wanted to jump into the explosion to help their father. Luckily, Kalya, Clara, and Kyouka quickly grabbed their arm to prevent it. They struggle to break free from the restraints but finally stop their efforts after hearing Kalya\'s voice.
"Wait! Please calm your mind! If you carelessly lunge in there, you\'ll get hurt too! That way, not only will you not be able to save your father, but you will also fall into a dangerous situation! Can\'t you see that dragon\'s breath is terrible? Wait until the explosion\'s impact lessens, and we\'ll save them. Do you understand!?" Kalya looked at the three girls and said in a slightly high voice. If she didn\'t act like that, they probably wouldn\'t want to listen to her.
Princess Freya and the other two girls fell silent after hearing Kalya\'s words. What she said was true, and they were on the verge of committing a reckless act because of their emotions. Even so, their intention of charging into the explosion to help their father still hadn\'t completely disappeared.
"I understand. But can you let go of your hand? It hurts because you did it too hard." Princess Freya took a deep breath to suppress the anxiety in her heart. Princess Aishia and Princess Iris did the same with her, but their faces still showed concern about their father\'s condition.
"Can you promise that you won\'t act rashly after I release you? If you can\'t do that, I will never let go of my hand and take you out of here." Kalya said with a serious face. She had to act decisively on them to prevent the girls from acting recklessly.
Princess Freya and the other two girls knew that Kalya didn\'t play with her words, and she would continue to restrain them until they made a promise to her. After pausing for a moment to think, Princess Freya finally spoke first.
"Okay, we promise!" Princess Freya answered heavily and then looked to Princess Aishia and Princess Iris for their approval. The two girls still made a face that they wanted to jump inside the explosion to help their father but reluctantly nodded their heads under the threat of Kalya\'s words.
"Good! Then you should calm down and listen to my plan." Kalya signaled to Clara and Kyouka to release Princess Aishia and Princess Iris.
The three girls had thought about charging into the explosion after they were released, but after remembering their previous promise, they could only sigh and suppress their worries for now. Princess Freya and the other two girls knew that Kalya was doing this for their safety. When the girls heard that she had a plan, they felt more at ease because Kalya had thought of a way to help their father. But they didn\'t know that Kalya had also thought of a way to fight the earth dragon emperor along the way.
"After the explosion ends, Lilith and I will distract the earth dragon emperor. You must save the kings and take them away from this place during that time. Do you understand?" Kalya starts explaining her plan to the girls. The crux of the strategy was her and Lilith, as they were stronger than the other girls and the most likely to fight head-on with the earth dragon emperor.
Kalya couldn\'t give that dangerous role to girls other than Lilith because they weren\'t strong enough yet and probably wouldn\'t be able to attract the dragon\'s attention. If so, then their plan would fail, and the kings would not be able to be saved.
"No! It\'s too dangerous! I know that Lilith has the same strength as the earth dragon emperor. But that monster\'s combat power is far above and would be dangerous for both of you!" Princess Freya quickly rejected the plan. Even though she wanted to help her father, she couldn\'t put Kalya and Lilith in a dangerous situation. Princess Aishia and the other girls agreed with her words.
"You don\'t have to worry. I have considered this carefully. After all, I said I would attract his attention instead of fighting him head-on." Kalya smiled and flicked Princess Freya\'s forehead. She was happy that the girls were worried about her.
"Ah, now you say that. I thought you would fight that dragon to attract his attention." Kalya rubbed her forehead and smiled shyly.
"I wouldn\'t have fought the earth dragon emperor without you. The most important thing right now was to save the kings and bring them to a safe place. Only then can you focus on fighting without worrying about anything else." Kalya turned her eyes towards the earth dragon emperor. Then she continued her words before the girls had time to open their mouths to reply.
"You have to be ready now. The impact of the explosion was about to end. You have to save the kings quickly and take them away from here. I sense your brother\'s group is heading to this place, and you can leave the kings to them. Lilith, let\'s distract the big lizard." Kalya glanced at the purple-haired girl who was already standing beside her.
"I\'m ready whenever you want." Lilith took out a wand that looked like a spear with a purple crystal tip.
"Now!" Kalya gave the signal to Lilith and the girls. Princess Freya and the others quickly flew, scattering towards each king to save them, and Lilith pointed her spear at the earth dragon emperor. Five god rings with a shimmering purple color appeared behind her. When she fought Ziel in the Alba Mountain Range, Lilith only had three god rings. But after intense training with Kalya and the girls, her divine power increased significantly, and she managed to add two.
[Magma Flood]
A giant magic circle appeared above the earth dragon emperor and spewed hot lava of a purplish color. The monster quickly realized that someone else had joined the battle and attacked suddenly.
"Annoying! You are the pests that appear one after another like it\'s endless! I will eliminate all of you until there are none left!" The dragon roared furiously.
The Archaic Knights had assigned the earth dragon emperor to come to that place to eliminate the irregulars. But the Archaic Knight only gave the coordinates and didn\'t describe how he found them. Because of that, all he could do was eliminate all living things in that area, specifically Oriana city in the Aurelia Kingdom.
But the earth dragon emperor did not expect the Aurelia Kingdom\'s army to launch a sudden attack, and many of his subordinates had died at their hands. He couldn\'t believe that a mere human dared to fight a real dragon. It made him angry and twisted his purpose to come there.
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The earth dragon emperor flapped his wings and blew away the purple lava falling towards him. Then he looked in the direction the attack was coming from. He saw two girls in the distance. One with purple hair was brandishing her wand, and the other was a girl with emerald green hair pulling the bowstring and pointing her arrow at him. Even though the earth dragon emperor was ordered to eliminate the irregular, he couldn\'t recognize it when he encountered his target.
[Spirit Thunderbolt]
Kalya fired her arrows right after the earth dragon emperor noticed their presence. The plan is going smoothly so far. The earth dragon emperor focused on them and ignored the other girls saving the kings.
But Kalya\'s face changed upon seeing her attack, only giving a small scratch to the scales of the earth dragon emperor.
"Damn it!" The earth dragon emperor was enraged after seeing that Kalya\'s attack had successfully scratched his scales.
The dragon flew at a terrifying speed towards Lilith and Kalya. Earth dragons were supposed to move slower than other dragons, but it was a different story if their strength was emperor level.
"Watch out!" Lilith and Kalya shouted to warn each other. The earth dragon emperor suddenly appeared in front of the two girls and swung his claws. Fortunately, they had already left the place, and the attack had only torn through the air.
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This made the earth dragon emperor even angrier. After many of his subordinates had died, some vermin suddenly appeared and made fun of him. The dragon emperor\'s eyes shone brightly. Hundreds of boulders appeared in the sky and rained down on the two girls.
"What!" Kalya and Lilith were shocked because the ability reminded them of one of the attacks from the nine-headed imperial dragon. Kalya was worried about Princess Freya and the girls getting hit by the attack. She checked her surroundings to make sure that the girls had left. Luckily, none of them was in sight at the place.
"They managed to save the kings and immediately led them away." Lilith knew what Kalya was thinking. She had seen Princess Freya and the girls carrying the kings who had lost consciousness away from the area.
"Good! Then, we can fight without worrying about them!" Kalya sighed in relief. Then she drew her bowstring and aimed her arrow. Lilith also pointed her wand at the sky. The two girls attacked simultaneously to fight off the boulder coming at them.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Meanwhile, Princess Freya and the four girls had managed to save the kings and were flying away from the earth dragon emperor. Not long after, a massive explosion sounded from behind them. The girls knew the battle between Kalya and Lilith against the Earth Dragon Emperor had begun. Even though they were worried about the two girls, they had to take the kings to a safe place before joining Kalya and Lilith in the battle.
"Father! Father! Wake up!" Princess Freya carried King Leonida and kept trying to wake him up along the way. Her face looked worried, and tears were flowing from her eyes because the condition of King Leonida and the other kings was critical. They can die anytime if they don\'t get treatment immediately.
Princess Freya wanted her father to drink Ziel\'s potion. But in his unconscious state, he wouldn\'t be able to swallow it. When she tried to give the potion to her father forcefully, Princess Freya and the girls felt a presence approaching them. They were happy after knowing that the person coming to them was Hikaru\'s group.
"Father!" Princess Reina and Princess Cordelia screamed after discovering that the person Clara and Kyouka carried was their father.
"Brother! Please take care of our father for me! Make sure you give the potion to him!" Princess Freya and the others quickly handed the kings and Ziel\'s potions to Hikaru\'s group.
"Eh? What happened to father!? Then what is this potion for?" Prince Fritz asked frantically after seeing King Leonida\'s condition. He didn\'t understand why his sister gave him the potion because they also had the same thing. Besides, Hikaru\'s group has Megumi, who specializes in healing.
"I don\'t have time to explain it to you right now. Anyway, you must give the potion to father and the other kings if you want them to survive!" Princess Freya quickly handed King Leonida over to Prince Fritz. She can rest easy if her brother takes care of her father.
"Please take care of my father!" Princess Iris and Princess Aishia entrusted their father to Megumi and also gave her the potion.
"Okay. Let\'s go!" Princess Freya looked at the girls and then flew back to the location of the earth dragon emperor.
"Wait! Where are you going!? You have to explain all of this!" Prince Fritz shouted and tried to stop Princess Freya. But the other party didn\'t want to listen to it and flew at high speed along with the other four girls. Hikaru and his group were left speechless, but they quickly returned to their senses and started caring for the kings.
Princess Freya and the girls did not take long to return to the location of the earth dragon emperor. But after arriving there, the girls were dumbfounded when they saw Lilith and Kalya covered in blood and the two girls facing fierce attacks from the earth dragon emperor.
