"Fei Niao! Fei Niao! "
Hearing Ashina's shout, Fei Niao, who originally had an anxious expression on her face, immediately ran over with shining eyes when she saw Ashina and Black Rabbit.
Following behind Fei Niao was the maid, Pest.
"Ashina! Black Rabbit! "
Fei Niao and Pest ran over to the two of them. After noticing Black Rabbit's injuries, Fei Niao subconsciously wanted to tear off her skirt to bandage Black Rabbit's injuries. However, after lowering her head, she immediately laughed bitterly. She was wearing the bikini that she had changed into earlier.
"Where are the others?" Pest raised her head to look at Ashina and asked.
"I don't know. Ink and Sixteen Nights are fighting against the Three-headed Dragon. There is simply no way for us to participate in such a battle …"
Ashina appeared somewhat regretful.
"Since that's the case, it's best for us to leave this place first. If Yakumo and Sixteen Nights are forced into a passive situation because of us, we will not be able to atone for our sins even if we die ten thousand times."
Fei Niao's suggestion received everyone's approval. Ashina took out her Card of Grace.
"DEEEEENNNN —!"
The steel giant Dean appeared from the radiance. Pest and Fei Niao worked together to help the injured Black Rabbit onto Dean's shoulder. Then, the two of them sat on Dean's shoulder.
Ashina jumped onto Dean's head. Soon after, Dean began to leave with large strides.

About seven miles away from the underground city.
The residents and members of the Dragon Horn Griffin Lion Alliance, as well as the guests that came to participate in the harvest festival, were taking refuge in the streets of the valley.
Although the Chairman Sarah was not present, the alliance members were doing their best to maintain order.
Thanks to their experience in fighting against the Demon King, these people knew very well what the best course of action to take in such a chaotic situation was.
As they were taking refuge, the alliance members arranged for Ashina and Fei Niao to be in charge of protecting them from the rear. As for Pest, she remained on Dean's shoulder to take care of Black Rabbit.
"Fei Niao! Look! "
Ashina spoke in a bright and cheerful voice.
Following the direction she was pointing at, the griffin Gory was flying over. On its back was the pale-faced Haruhi.
After discovering Ashina and Fei Niao, Gory flew over to them and landed.
"When I found my friend in the chaotic crowd, she was already in such a state," Gory gently lowered his body. Ashina and Fei Niao worked together helped him down.
"Gory, thank you.." Although they couldn't understand what Gurley was saying, Flying Bird and Asuna still thanked the Griffin. Then, Asuna looked at Yao carefully and said, "Yao, it's great that you're okay. You're not injured? "
"… Mn."
Nodnodnodnodding nodded, moved moved moved.
Niao's's actions's's....
Although it was normal for Yao to be a man of few words, his current appearance was even stranger. A's's, a ''s's.. Er' '...
Ashina '''s's's a '' ''s's was was was was.
"Eek …"
Black Rabbit, who was being supported by Pest and lying on Dean's shoulder, let out a groan. Then, she opened her eyes.
"Black Rabbit! You woke up? "
When Fei Niao heard Black Rabbit's voice, she immediately signaled Pest to help Black Rabbit down.
Black Rabbit carefully stood on the ground and observed her surroundings.
"That … where are the others?"
"Unfortunately," Gory said, "I only found my friend. I don't know where the others are."
"If it's Ink, he should be fighting Sixteen-Even-Kun and the Demon King …"
"No! No …! "
Black Rabbit's ears trembled as she tightly grabbed onto Ashina.
"That's the Demon King, Az Dahaka … he's no ordinary Demon King! That Demon King is none other than the Last Embryo, the one who defeated the numerous Gods! Even Mr. Sixteen-Even-Kun and Lady Yakumo have no chance of victory! "
Black Rabbit powerlessly kneeled on the ground as she recalled the scene from before.
In order to save her, Eight-cloud Ink was pierced through her body by Az Dahaka. Golden blood splattered all over her vision.
"… I'm sorry. It's all because of me … It's all because of me …"
While Black Rabbit was sobbing, Ashina tightly held onto the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword, Yao painfully held onto the necklace, and Flying Bird bit her lower lip.
"Your Excellency Black Rabbit, I can understand your anger. My Knight was killed in the chaos just now …" Gory lowered his head, hatred flashing in his eyes. "However, it's precisely because existences like Lady Yakumo and Sixteen-Even-Kun are holding back the Demon King that we have enough time to evacuate everyone …"
Hearing Gory say that his Knight was killed, the atmosphere in the surroundings instantly became heavy.
After taking a deep breath, Ashina said, "Alright, Black Rabbit, this has nothing to do with you. The situation right now is critical. Putting aside Ink and Sixteen-Even-Kun, Ren-Kun and the others are still missing. We should find everyone first."
In the face of such a situation, Ashina seemed to have returned to the dazzling Ashina who led the members of the Raid Team to continuously attack the boss in SAO back then.
"Other than this, there's very little information about the Demon King. Black Rabbit, if you know anything, please tell us."
"I know …" Black Rabbit nodded. "It's impossible for the ancients of Hakata not to know that Evil God. Do you know about the Fire Worship Sect? "
Everyone nodded.
"The Evil Gods of the Fire Worship Sect are the Demon King who holds the flag of 'Aksara' high and is an irreconcilable enemy who wreaks havoc everywhere in Hakata. Even if … even if … "
Pain flashed in Black Rabbit's eyes.
"Even Lord Sakra, who is now regarded as the leader of the Good Gods and cares for me, I heard that he was once the Demon King in the Fire Worship Sect …"
Sakra — as a "Hakata aristocrat", Black Rabbit's Master God and the War God she worshipped.
Flying Bird glanced sideways at the dejected Black Rabbit and asked.
"Then, that dragon is the same as Sakra?"
If that was the case, then its combat power was far above the dragon.
"It used to be …"
“！！”
Hearing the unexpected answer, Ashina and the others looked at Black Rabbit with strange expressions.
"That three-headed dragon is not an ordinary Demon King. … No, it's better to say that he's a true Demon King. That's more correct. "
"The Demon King is the trial itself that takes shape. Originally, the 'Organizer Authority' was a mystery created by opening up the internal universe in order to absorb the oldest Demon King into one's spirit lattice. Generally, if one uses the Organizer Authority maliciously, one can be called a Demon King. However, a true Demon King is a completely different trial. "
"That is the strongest trial in history to exterminate the human race — — The Last Embryo."
Seeing Ashina, Flying Bird, and Yao's confused expressions, Black Rabbit could only continue to explain.
"The Demon King is a natural disaster, such as thunderstorms, earthquakes, plagues, and so on. And most of the gods are actually the personifications of these natural disasters. This is the proof that the gods continue to bestow crises to the survival of humans — of course, the celestial laws are an exception. "
Just like the Black Death Spot Demon King Pest.
"In that case, that three-headed dragon is also a Demon King that has absorbed some natural disaster, chronology, and celestial laws?" Ashina asked.
Black Rabbit nodded. "I'm afraid that's the case. Az Dahaka was originally not so powerful, but one day, several Demon Kings led by him strengthened their spirit lattices together. Each of them had the strength to repel a million gods."
Repel … a million gods!?
Ashina and the others all forgot to breathe.

"Back then, why did you let this guy's spirit lattice evolve?"
It was still in an inconspicuous corner.
Zi Wei closed her eyes and stared at the three-headed dragon in the sky with a cold gaze.
The Storyteller laughed a little awkwardly. "I just wanted to play a strategy of driving a tiger to devour a wolf. Of course, the tiger wasn't a tiger at that time, so I helped them. I didn't expect that they would actually grow to this extent …"
"That's why I hate schemers like you the most." Zi Wei snorted coldly.
The Storyteller shrugged helplessly, then reached out and pulled the hood on his head lower.
