Above [Underwood], three thousand meters high.
Ashina held the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword and stared at Leticia who was in the air.
The Divine Might surging within her body and the feedback from the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword intertwined to form a halo of light, making Ashina look like a bright moon hanging in the air.
"Huff … Huff … Huff …"
Although the battle just now didn't allow her to fight, it still consumed a lot of her stamina.
If it wasn't for the years of training and the physique gained from fighting with Demondream, Ashina would have fallen to the ground already.
The wind in the air messed up her and Leticia's long hair, and Ashina narrowed her hazel eyes.
"It's time, Aistel -chan!"
Buzz —!!
A clear sound came from the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword.
With a flip of her left hand, a card appeared in Ashina's hand.
This was the last resort that Eight-cloud Ink gave her to use in times of need.
It could provide Ashina with a huge amount of Eight-cloud Ink's demon power in an instant, allowing her to unleash her strongest attack.
"Ink …"
Ashina's thumb gently stroked the card as she whispered.
Then —
[Ultimate Sword Technique — Form Breaker — Ardent Spiral Sword Dance]
A destructive sword technique that was powerful but also consumed a huge amount of energy. It was originally a two-blade sword technique, but after some modifications, it was able to mimic that effect with a single blade.
[Ultimate Sword Technique — Sky Ultimate Flash]
Originally, it required the Fairy Maiden's ritual music to interfere with the Divine Might to unleash this attack, but after Eight-cloud Ink's demon power replaced the music, it exploded with even more power.
The Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword absorbed the demon power released by the card, and Ashina instantly felt the Divine Might surging within her body.
Leticia seemed to have sensed the danger and quickly spread her wings.
The black shadow behind her turned into a sky full of spears and shot out.
At the same time, Leticia raised her hands and crossed her palms. Black lightning exploded, and together with the rain of spears, it instantly covered the sky.
The Divine Might that had accumulated to the limit kept dispersing from the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword, blurring everyone's vision.
"Sky Ultimate Flash!!!!!"
What erupted above the underground city was a flash of light that was as bright as the sun.
Below, whether it was the people of the Alliance, the Giants, or Ling and Aurora who were ordered to attack by His Highness, they all stopped and looked up at the sky in a daze.
○
In the High Sky Castle, in the Throne Hall.
Leticia, who was unconscious, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Then, her eyelashes trembled as she woke up.
"I … I'm …?"
When her thoughts gradually became clear and her memories of the past slowly emerged, Leticia revealed a bitter smile.
"Is that so? Have I become the Demon King again? "
Looking down at the gorgeous dress on her body and the chains that bound her to the throne, Leticia sighed.
"The fact that I can wake up means that someone defeated the shadow that automatically attacked me, right? Who could it be? Lord Yakumo? Lord Sixteen Nights? "
Leticia could only think of Eight-cloud Ink and Sixteen Nights.
Soon after, Leticia noticed something strange — the Throne Hall had long since become dilapidated.
"Did … did a battle happen here?"
Using the moonlight that shone through the dome, Leticia sized up the Throne Hall, feeling bewildered.
○
"Hu … hu …"
After placing Sixteen Nights and the others outside the castle, Gory kept gasping for breath.
It was not difficult to fly against the astral wind. For a Gryphon, this was not a challenge at all.
But in addition to the astral wind, the dragon in the sky not only released the Draconic Aura, but it was also the biggest source of pressure for Gory.
"Thank you for your hard work." Black Rabbit gently stroked Gory's head.
The latter shook his head, but his eyes were still sharp, "It's okay. My task is considered completed. The rest is up to you."
"Don't worry!"
Sixteen Nights patted his chest.
"Oh? You guys are here too? "
Everyone suddenly turned around.
Eight-cloud Ink was standing not far from them, and she seemed to be carrying a big bag in her hand.
"Yakumo!"
"Lord Yakumo!"
Black Rabbit and the others shouted in surprise.
Eight-cloud Ink stepped forward and threw the bag in her hand to Sixteen Nights, "I guessed that you would come, so — come and help!"
"Help?"
"To crack the game, I already have the third and fourth victory conditions."
"Really? As expected of Lord Yakumo! "Black Rabbit bounced to Eight-cloud Ink's side, and there was an uncontrollable surprise on her face.
"Tsk! You beat me to it again. "
Sixteen Nights snorted.
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly laughed, "Are you stupid? I can fly, so I came here before you guys."
"… Coo!!"
Flying Bird saw that Eight-cloud Ink and Sixteen Nights seemed to be going at it again, and she immediately stood between the two of them, "Okay, okay, let's talk about how to crack the game first. By the way — Black Rabbit had already activated the Trial Resolution, so why did the game suddenly continue? "
"… Maybe, it's because of me."
Eight-cloud Ink scratched her cheeks embarrassedly, "Because I thought of a way to crack the game, I tried it. In the end, because my attempt was correct, the game seemed to have been forced to restart."
"I see! How do we do it? "Flying Bird widened her eyes and stared at Eight-cloud Ink.
Pointing at the bag on Sixteen Nights, Eight-cloud Ink said, "In the name of the game, the translation of SUN SYNCHRONOUS ORBIT is the orbit of the sun. In addition, this giant dragon and the castle seem to be moving according to a fixed orbit, so the beast belt in the victory condition can be speculated to be the orbit of the sun, which is the zodiac. "
"The third victory condition is to collect the broken stars and offer the beast belt to the throne. The broken stars should be the twelve zodiac signs that were separated from the zodiac. In other words, we have to collect the fragments of the twelve constellations. "
"If we look at this city from above, it is exactly divided into twelve equal parts. I found the fragments of this constellation in each part, and when we put them together, it is exactly the twelve zodiac signs."
Sixteen Nights frowned, "But … before Leticia was taken away, she seemed to have said something about 'attacking the thirteenth sun.' What does that mean?"
"Try to put these twelve fragments together according to the correct constellation order."
Hearing this, Sixteen Nights immediately squatted down and opened the bag.
One by one, the fragments fit perfectly and gradually began to form a complete starry sky.
"Huh?"
When the last fragment was about to be put together, Sixteen Nights, Flying Bird, and Black Rabbit exclaimed.
"It can't be put together?"
"It's here. Because the thirteenth sun is missing, we still need to collect the thirteenth fragment and offer it to the throne according to the correct order to solve the game."
"This is the fourth condition?" Sixteen Nights laughed, "Follow the guidance of the beast belt to return to the throne in the correct form and shoot through the heart of the leader of the revolution who is chained up?"
"That's right. You thought of it too?"
"Well, you have already said so much. If I can't think of the rest, I'll be too stupid!"
Sixteen Nights looked up, and Black Rabbit immediately twitched its ears and whimpered.
"Oh? Looks like Black Rabbit didn't think of it. You are indeed a noble (laugh). "
Black Rabbit whimpered even louder.
"Then, where is the thirteenth sun? Is it also in the castle? "
"I don't think so." Sixteen Nights stood up, "Revolutionary, revolution, but there is also the meaning of the orbit."
With an excited smile, Sixteen Nights looked up at the giant dragon flying in the sky not far away.
Black Rabbit and Flying Bird looked at each other.
"Hey hey hey hey!!!???"
"Are we going to attack that giant dragon!?"
"Pa!" Sixteen Nights punched his palm, "Eight Clouds, that giant flying lizard is mine. You can't take it."
"Ah, if you want to go, then go. I'm not interested."
Eight-cloud Ink snorted. Eight-cloud Ink sensed that Ashina used the card he gave her in advance. What he wanted to do now was to quickly get to Ashina's side.
"I'll give it to you. You can do the rest."
After that, Eight-cloud Ink disappeared.
⑧
The giant dragon was whining.
Standing at the top of the giant water tree, Eight-cloud Ink hugged Ashina's waist and looked up at the giant dragon that was slowly becoming transparent.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine …"
The pale Ashina leaned her head on Eight-cloud Ink's chest and gasped for breath.
"You, why didn't you call me over at that time? Why did you have to show off? "
"I also want to … be able to stand on my own!"
Ashina tried to smile.
Eight-cloud Ink sighed and then received the letters that fell from the sky like raindrops.
[Bestowed Game Name: SUNSYNCHRONOUSORBITinVAMPIREKING]
[Winner: Participant Community NoName]

"Your Highness!!"
Bell and Aurora helped each other to Galgi's side.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"… Sorry, Your Highness, we couldn't —"
"It's not your fault."
His Highness didn't look back. He just looked at the disappearing dragon in the sky.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a person on the other side."
Everyone was silent.
"So, did you expect me to appear?"
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
"What!!?"
Galgi felt a huge sense of crisis. Without hesitation, he grabbed Bell and Aurora's sleeves and threw them away.
When he turned around, a tall figure covered in a linen robe appeared not far away.
"It's you!!!!"
"Hmph!"
The robed figure snorted coldly. Galgi felt an irresistible force hit his body.
"Pfff —!!!!"
The injuries that were suppressed after the battle with Eight-cloud Ink completely broke out. Galgi, who was flying in the sky, shouted with all his strength before he fainted.
"Go and find … find the one called Yakumo —!!"
