◆ Defeater (Mejed) Kuroki wearing artifact (cat mite)

The next day, we leave Arnak.

Four empty ships fly from the Golden Palace.

The gypsies are restricted from leaving empty ships to defend themselves. But only with the permission of the Queen, Sekhmet Tra.

The pyramids that aspire were taken away. We're going to cross the golden desert to the south-east.

It is Halses nominally who commands the fleet of this empty vessel, but it is essentially Isdes, the god of war.

Originally, Halseus would have waited for Arnak without deploying.

However, he asked Sekhmetra to allow him to deploy under the condition that he retreated in case of danger.

On a huge empty ship, decorated with magnificent gold, Halses sailed alongside Sphinx's concubines and proceeded with exhilaration.

Halses' empty vessels are huge and larger than those of Alphonse we've seen before.

Four empty ships fly around the Halses empty ship, surrounded by Hayabusa-headed birdman (Birdman) under Halses.

Behind the empty ship, Tona and I are flying in Kimira.

The sky is blue and the sun is strong.

It is the most magically defended, so there is no problem.

"That Tona. If it gets so tight....."

I was behind it, but I said to Tona who was following me.

Tona is back in her usual thick robe.

However, when tightly attached, you can feel the hidden swelling under the clothes on your back.

Your groin will be in trouble if it stays like this.

I need you to stay away a little.

I turned around and looked at Tona.

"What's wrong, Croki? We are just like a couple. It's only natural to stick together."

Tona's face is as faceless as usual.

But somewhere you seem to be enjoying your reaction.

"That Tona. It's Mejed now....."

It's Mejed now.

Of course, under the white cloth is wrapped around the waist.

Now, even if the cloth turns over, it is not misunderstood as a pervert who can taste the sense of liberation that unites with the world by being directly touched by the air.

I am not a pervert, so naturally I wear a waistband. I'm sure it won't hurt.

That's what I'm saying.

"It's okay. The braves are at the forefront, so we're getting out of here. I can't even say my real name."

Indeed, Tona is right, away from Raj and the others.

Normally, you wouldn't hear it at this distance.

However, since their physical abilities are getting higher in this world, I think it is better not to be alarmed.

"But, Tona. I'd rather not be alarmed... Finding out who you are can be a hassle."

"I know. But just for now, let me do this."

After the words, I felt Tona sticking her forehead to her back.

I feel something warm.

I think it is good to fly in the sky as it is.

"Gurururururu"

But suddenly the chimera rang.

"Sorry, I flew a little too long."

Kimira seems a little spicy.

Looks like he flew too long.

It's time to return to the empty ship.

We were on the smallest empty ship at the rear.

This is an empty ship owned by Nell, and all the crew are fairy cats.

The part of the bow of the boat became a cute cat and it eased unexpectedly.

"Welcome home. Tonna."

When we get back to the empty ship, Nell will welcome us.

Vallon, her butler, is with her.

Originally, Nell had to stay in Arnak just like Halseus.

However, Sekhmetra allowed her to go on condition that she returned as soon as she was in danger without risky behavior.

"I think I'm busy. What's up? Nell?"

Tona was right.

The fairy cats in the sailor's jacket are in a hurry.

"That's tough!! A big sandstorm is approaching!!

Nell spoke in a hurry.

"A sandstorm? Is this ship okay?

"That's.... I don't know. Vallon said this ship couldn't stand it."

Looks like it's a bad situation.

"Totona-sama!! Welcome back!! The Halseus-sama came earlier!! We need to get this ship aboard Master Halses' ship!!

The butler, Vallon the Black Cat, is here.

Nell's empty ship is very small. Enough to hold it in a giant Halses empty ship.

The rear of Halses' ship opens wide and houses Nell's empty ship.

"Oops!! Well done, Tona!! Welcome!!

When I go to Halses, they welcome me with their hands open.

Tona seems very happy to be here.

Halses looks like he cares about Tona no matter how he looks.

Tona denies it can't be, but I can't help but think so.

I've been to Gypsy Seal several times before, but it's never happened before.

But what does Nell think?

Even though he was supposed to be engaged, he wouldn't say anything if he dictated to another woman.

Or don't females fight each other like lions?

A lion builds a herd of females against a male.

And the lion's female breastfeeds and cooperates with her, in addition to her own child.

Is Sphinx the same?

Speaking of which, I've heard in the past that Sphinx women want to be wives of the same man as their best friends.

Nell is lying beside herself.

Sometimes the skin is intense, such as hugging.

But I don't feel sorry for being missed by a cute cat. I would rather be happy.

"Yes, thank you, Prince."

Tona's reaction is subtle, even if she says she's welcome.

He is wearing a hat deep in his eyes and trying to escape Halsese's gaze.

"Eventually, you'll have to come with Lena to this side of Halseus forever."

Halseus smiled.

Bright hair on brown skin. has the characteristics of a lion on the whole and large Hayabusa wings on the back

But Halseus is somehow closer to humans, only Ishtia's son, a beautiful man.

It's probably the third one compared to Raige and Alphonse.

"Prince Halses. I want you to stop joking. Now I want to know what to do about the sandstorm."

I gave Tona back quickly.

"Then there is no problem. That lowly brave man will take care of it."

"Light warrior?

"Oh, that's right. Looks like he's got some new power. He told me to leave it to me."

Halseus says with regret.

"Yes... The brave have a new power."

"That's right. But more than that, Tona. Until then, why don't you join Halseus here for a cup of tea?

"Prince, thank you for inviting me. However, I am concerned about the new power that Lena's hero has acquired. He must be on the previous ship. I'm going to see him."

Tona moves without waiting for Halses' reply.

The distance between the empty ships is far apart, but using the magic of flying will make it easier to travel.

"Wait!! Tonna!!

Nell and I follow Tona.

"Wait, Tona!! You're going to see him?!! That doesn't work!! If you're going!! Let's go with this Halses!!

And finally, Halseus chases after Tona.

In the end, everyone was to go.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

I see a sandstorm from an empty ship with the magic of hyperopia.

A loess of smoke is rising up into the sky.

It's still a long way off, but if we keep going, the empty ships will eventually be swallowed up by sandstorms.

"This is amazing. Reggie, of course you're okay. Prince Halseus made a big deal out of it."

I stood on the bow and shouted at Raige, who looked at the direction of the sandstorm.

"Of course. Chiyuki, I won't tell you what I can't do."

Reiji says without looking back.

But he must have a strange smile.

"Well, Raige will be fine. Are you going to use the power of the superior spirits? Reggie?"

"Oh, that's right. Ishtia, if a Spirit can help me, I can wipe it out like a sandstorm."

Reiji laughs when Ishtia says so.

He went to the Golden Pyramid while I was asleep and gained the power of the High Spirit.

I feel like the distance between the two is close.

Someone comes to us thinking about that.

Tona, Nell, Harasses, and Mejed.

"Hey, Tona. Are you here? Yeah?!!

Rage, who looked at Tona's face and tried to laugh, noticed Halesses and became a subtle face.

Halseus seems to be in a bad mood.

Maybe he didn't really want to come.

I wish it wasn't a fight.

"Oh? Hal, it's so unusual for you to come. Fufu, you're worried about Reggie. Very good. Very good. It's fun to watch a man fight."

Ishtia seems to be having fun.

Even a real child is unforgiving.

Looking at it, Halseus looks complicated.

"Hmm!! More like a sandstorm!!

Halseus says great.

"Prince, calm down, I'll show you the magic footage now."

That's what Tona says, and Halseus!! And moan and shut up.

Tona casts a spell and creates a magical image.

The footage shows a cloudy smoke.

It's still pretty big.

"What? You don't see anything in the sandstorm right now?

Point to the video.

I saw a thin shadow in the sandstorm.

What is it?

"That's probably the Great Sandworms. I think this sandstorm is caused by the Great Sandworms."

"Great Sandworms? You mean that giant potato worm that's supposed to cause drifting sand? I've never seen it before."

"Yes, a wise man with black hair. I've never seen a giant sand worm grow that big."

I've read about the Great Sandworms in books.

The Great Sandworm is a giant bug that moves underground in the desert.

I don't know about the ecology, but I hear that even small things are more than 10 meters, and the big ones are enough to swallow one city.

This giant bug sucks on its surroundings with the sand when it eats.

That's when the sand drifts.

If the sand suddenly starts to flow, it will be inhaled by the Great Sandworm if it does not leave the area in a hurry.

And another characteristic of this great sand worm is that when you swallow a certain amount of sand, you spit it out at once.

That is when a sandstorm occurs.

"If the big sand bug grew that big, it might spit out the sand in three days. Raj, can you do something about this?

I am surprised at the words.

Spraying sand for three days means that the sandstorm won't heal for three days.

Tona is staring at Rage.

Tona is always faceless, making her emotions hard to read.

"Yes, of course. Tona, I can do something about it."

Rage smiles uncomfortably.

"Isn't that a lie?! Light Warrior!!!! If you can't do anything!!! I'll take your life!!

"Hey, Prince Halses!!!

I scream without thinking.

"It's okay, Chiyuki!! Prince!! If you fail, I will give you this life!!

That way, Rage sees where the ship is headed.

After a while, you can see huge soot and smoke rising without using magic.

Soil and smoke gradually grow bigger and closer.

It will be swallowed as it is.

Everyone on the spot sees Raige.

"Up we go!! Shining!! Answer my call!! Benne, Lord of Light Wings!!

When Rage screams, a huge bird appears above the empty ship.

Benne, the superior spirit of light.

Its name is a sacred bird that rises vividly and means the glowing one.

According to legend, the sun was born by hugging it in the hills of the beginning.

Saint Benne, a shining bird like the sun, covers three empty ships with wings and a film of light.

A sandstorm struck the empty ship in between.

However, the film of light protects the ship from sandstorms.

The area is stained with loess and the surroundings are invisible.

"Benne!!!

Benne responded to Reiji's call.

The waves of light cancel out the sandstorm.

After the sandstorm disappeared, what remained was a giant potato bug rising in the sky.

This giant potato worm is the Great Sandworm.

Sand is blowing out of a small hole in the body of the Great Sandworm.

But every time, Benne's wings blow off the sand.

Numerous tentacles are moving around the hole in the head of the Great Sandworm.

"Wow!! Disgusting!!

I accidentally scream.

The appearance of the Great Sandworm was as unpleasant as that.

"Let go!! Flaming Wings of Light!!

Once again, Benne responded to Reiji's call.

Benne's wings shine even more.

It was so dazzling that I finally saw the Great Sandworms.

The Great Sandworms are swallowed up by the wings of light and disappear.

Eventually, when the light went out, the Great Sandworm was nowhere to be found.

"Thank you!! Benne!!"

Reggie said that and Benne disappeared.

"That's right, let's do it!! Reggie!! How dare you use the superior spirits of light!! Just the man I expected!!

Ishtia seems happy.

"It's not your power!! Benne was just so powerful!! Don't forget that!!

On the other hand, he seemed to regret it.

Well, Reggie was able to use the superior spirits he couldn't summon, so it's natural to regret it.

"What do you say, Tona? What's my power?

Reggie ignores Halses and looks at Tona.

Looks like you're expecting something.

"I see... I did have the power to show you. Lana's Hero"

Looking at Tona's expression, I wonder.

She is usually expressionless and emotionally insensitive.

But somehow it looked unsettling.
