124 – Chapter 40. Cradle of Water – 2

– 125 –

There was such a huge amount of water that it was thought that all the waters of the spirit world, the material world, and the demon world were gathered.

Thousands of streams gather around low hills to form small streams, and hundreds of streams gather again to form dozens of rivers.

The source of the constant rain from the upstream of the river was clear and fluffy clouds, not dark dark clouds.

Under the sky where Arumanan floated, the sea was also part of the cradle of water.

At the boundary between the land and the sea next to the delta formed by the river, there was a huge waterway and a fountain gushing out from all directions, not the usual mudflats or sandy beaches.

It is a place made up of water.

This was the cradle of water, the source of all water.

In the corner of the cradle of water, there was a destination in a wide lake under a glacier-covered mountain that stood alone resolutely.

When seen from the ground, there was a blue city on a huge lake that could be mistaken for an ocean.

The name of that city, which is similar to Zafir, where Arumanan mainly resides, is called Letiai.

Aruma Nan, who longed for this place, referred to it when he planned and designed Zafir, so he was just like him.

I heard a lot of stories, but it was my first time seeing them in person because I had never been to the Cradle of Water.

“This is the cradle of water.”

“You seem to be the first Misfire-sama.”

Water spirits nearby were talking to each other with excitement.

Girls with colorful animal ears were clinging to the deck railing, watching the cradle of water.

Outwardly, it looked like a picnic, but there was an atmosphere of concern over the dark space beyond the cradle of water and the dark-colored aircraft flying nearby.

Leti-ai was in a mountain close to the sea, so it didn’t look like it was in danger right now.

But the cradle of water was stained with an ominous color.

The transparent stream became cloudy, and ghosts began to settle under the water.

I saw the water spirits grip the railing tightly.

“Miss Fire. The captain is looking for you.”

“Yes.”

I followed the middle-class water spirit in a navy uniform to the battle command room.

When we went down to the basement of the bridge, we arrived at a place with displays all over the place.

Arumanan took off her veil and looked at multiple screens at the same time with her blue eyes fluttering.

“I’m here.”

After hearing her voice, Aruma Nan gently closed her eyes and lowered the veil.

She asked with her smile on her face.

“Miffy. Did you write that?”

“Yes. It seems like something has grown.”

“Choose a middle-class spirit you like and sign a contract with it.”

Arumanan beckoned to an intermediate water spirit passing by.

“Did you call, Captain?”

When the cute little girl with her dog ears asked cheerfully, Aruma Nan shrugged her shoulders and looked over.

I shook my head.

“The spirit I will use as a subordinate will be the wind. We need more wind spirits to properly use the features Tyran added this time.”

“Yes? I’m sorry. It would be nice if you had some of the water attributes. The effect of Sanctuary of the Mist will increase and you may become more like me.”

Arumanan said it was nothing, stroked the water spirit’s head once and sent it away.

Aruma Nan, who smiled happily as she smiled brightly as she watched the water spirit go on her way, pointed to her map with a serious expression.

One side of the cradle of water, dotted with blue, was dyed dark purple.

“Now, we will disembark our troops at Letiai and remove the defensive lines of demons that have spread throughout the Cradle of Water. The enemies will be tough, so I want you to escort the early warning lights.”

“Okay. After stopping by Letiai? Or now?”

“Let’s go now. After reconnaissance, we can attack immediately.”

“Rager.”

After saluting each other with Arumanan, we returned to the deck.

Due to the powerful elemental power of my body, the lesser spirits of wind and fire were wandering around the body.

Should I get support right now?

“Hmm. Among the spirits of the wind, are there any spirits that you want to be a crew member of my body?”

The lower and intermediate wind spirits around you opened their eyes and rushed in.

And even though I didn’t ask them to, they set their own order and each started introducing themselves.

“Hello. It’s called Sirin 261. If you’re going to tell me…….”

I was a little embarrassed by the sudden interview.

By the way, it looks like the early warning device will start soon.

I’ll just pick one and take it with me.

I caught a low-level wind spirit who was looking at the middle-class wind spirits around me with envy in the corner, so I grabbed it and got on the main body.

“Ah!”

Leaving the other wind spirits alone, I put a lower wind spirit next to me and fastened the seat belt.

“Hey there, Miss Fire?”

“Yes.”

“Why did you bring me, a lesser spirit…? ….”

“It just stood out.”

I moved the lower spirit, who kept her mouth shut, to the back seat.

There was a pouch containing several spirit evolution stones.

“There will also be a wind evolution stone, so change to an intermediate level and join immediately.”

“Oh, I see!”

[[Oh? What is it, boss? Are you new?]]

[[It seems that the spirit capacity of the aircraft has increased a lot, but it seems that you are joining as a new companion.]]

[[Finally, the youngest escaped!]]

“Have you also had a successor? Are you just following the rider?”

[[Of course not.]]

[[Okay. All the military is the same.]]

Not only the wind spirits but also the fire spirits were excited about the arrival of a new successor.

“Come on, let’s all start with takeoff. Even if newcomers come in, they don’t do the same things as you do, so don’t stress too much.”

[[Ah, when did you say we paid for it?]]

Even while the spirits were chatting, the engine started and the rotor turned.

To the spirits of his subordinates who had already worked together countless times, nagging more than this was meaningless.

The lesser wind spirit, who was under the pressure of everyone’s expectations, began to carefully rummage through his pockets.

The lower spirits that came into contact with the evolution stone of the wind began to change into a form other than a sparrow or a butterfly.

The spirit, which was neither a bird nor a butterfly, but looked like a small dragon, looked around and immediately disappeared into the aircraft.

A mid-level wind spirit suddenly raised her head from the instrument panel.

“A newcomer. It’s a rare type.”

“Yes? What kind of friend are you?”

I knew that there are several types of spirits with the same attribute and of the same rank, but I didn’t know all of them.

“It is the ‘Radanis’ type that is the most aggressive among the wind spirits, which are mainly specialized for reconnaissance and aircraft operation.”

“Aggressive?”

Just the right type came out.

The function Tyran added is related to attack, so you can adapt well.

A few attack helicopters took off following me.

In the midst of forming a rank in the sky, activating the communication network, and exchanging call signs, the headquarters informed the start of the operation.

“As of this time, we will start the reconnaissance operation of the Cradle of Water.”

After a while, the early warning device ran over the runway on one side of the deck.

Arumanan was an aircraft carrier, so there was no need for a long runway.

The plane, which accelerated briefly at the end of the runway, plummeted down and immediately regained altitude.

Turn the nose of the squadron forward a little bit ahead of the early warning lights.

The camp of the demons closest to Letiai was about 10 minutes away even by flying.

Because there are more streams and rivers than the land to tread on, the chariot will be difficult to pull.

If it was an armored car, it might be possible to enter, but Letiai was not a good place to be able to attack with only the firepower of an armored car.

There are a few enemy aircraft, but most of them are old models.

It seemed that all the new fighters were dragged into the material world.

“Is it easier than you think?”

It seemed that it could be easily arranged by dropping the troops that Arumanan has now.

[[It’s better not to be too vigilant, boss.]]

“I know.”

Early Alert flew over the cradle of water while checking the positions of the enemies.

Perhaps he noticed that, the enemy’s aerial power was revealed from afar.

“Sometimes a Wyvern.”

The Wyvern, who was so scared not long after coming back here, now felt like an outdated soldier.

Actually as well.

I don’t know if it’s a Wyvern who has been training for about half a million years, let alone a normal Wyvern, it will be difficult to deal with the ordinary attack helicopters here.

“Come on!”

I was loading the sidewinder while shouting to myself with curiosity, but the size of the Wyverns was a little strange.

The normal Wyvern was definitely the same size as my body, but the difference was clearly visible even though it was still far away.

Especially when you open your mouth wide in front of you and gather your magic… Gathering magic power? On this street?

“All-power defense formation!”

I gave orders to the squadron and subordinate spirits at the same time.

When I pushed the lever forward and deployed all the spirits to unfold the shield, other helicopters surrounded the early warning device behind me.

Jeing-

A white beam was shot from the black wyvern’s mouth.

I know because I’ve been hit by the beam the Wyvern shoots a few times, but if I get hit by that, it’ll hurt quite a bit.

Kooung

“f*ck.”

As expected, when it collided with the beam, the aircraft shook violently with a large impact.

The frontal shield was half broken, but it was able to be restored quickly by charging enough mana stones.

“Measure the delay.”

[[Larger.]]

Fortunately, it wasn’t an attack that fired consecutively or fired too much at once.

I gave an order after briefly examining the situation of other helicopters and the early warning system.

“Each one starts shooting the sidewinder at the enemy in front. Echo 1 should slow down and never go head-on.”

「「Large.」」

After finishing the command, the loaded sidewinder was fired at the largest wyvern and moved forward at full speed.

The sidewinder magic shot from another helicopter passed me and hit the Wyverns.

Usually a sidewinder can shoot down a wyvern with one shot, but they were not normal guys, so they turned around and avoided the sidewinder with a shield or blocked the sidewinder.

The most advanced giant hit the sidewinder I shot with its wings and deflected it.

In the meantime, I arrived in front of him.

As if waiting for a huge wyvern, it attacked with its mouth wide open.

The guys around me also flocked in at once, and shiny black scales filled my eyes.

The moment when the front and side windows are filled with Wyverns.

[[Ready, Master.]]

It was the first time I heard a low-pitched voice, but I knew who it was.

The new subordinate spirit read my intentions and prepared a counterattack.

“[[Wind.]]”

A small wind manastone installed right next to the manastone previously attached to the armament control seat.

After the engine manastone and main armament manastone, magic flowed into the place that can be called the third heart.

A strong wind swept away the rushing wyvern.

A blurry connection line was created for dozens of Wyverns who lost their balance in a sudden gust of wind.

My body, to be more precise, the wind passage from the side wings with arms was directly connected to the vital parts of the Wyvern’s head and heart.

Technology that blocks external interference, interception, and target evasion, and amplifies and hits the attack.

Once the passage of wind is connected, it will not be able to be cut unless the distance is far away or the attack level is enough to destroy even my body in one shot.

The short range and the connection line were a bit slow, but I was able to solve it by bringing the target closer like this.

“Hellfire.”

The fire spirits under their command made a special effort to light the black flames of hell.

The original black flame is as strong as it is strong, so it has a short duration, so it fades away even if the distance is a little farther away.

Hwaak-

The storm of burning black flames split into dozens and attacked the Wyvern horde.

The wyverns who rushed to me without knowing it became gray ashes and were scattered in the air.

“Ugh.”

It was powerful enough to cause the gas to vibrate unstable due to the sudden thinning of the atmosphere as all the nearby oxygen was burned.

The new weapon was more powerful than I thought.
