Chapter 121 – Battle in Devil's Forest

121. Battle in Devil's Forest

Rubeum flew at high speed towards Devil's Forest.

He was many times faster than the academy's wyverns, which should be much faster than ordinary wyverns.

「Rubeum. Are you okay?」

「I-I'm fine. Kyururu.」

He said he was fine, but Rubeum was out of breath.

I want to say it's okay to take his time, but the later we arrive, the more dangerous it is for Xenovia.

「I'm sorry. It's an emergency.」

「Yes, I'll do my best. Kyuru」

When I turned back, I could no longer see any signs of Dura.

Dura was also fast, but Rubeum was overwhelmingly fast.

How far have we flown?

「Master! Devil's Forest is in sight!」

Regina's loud voice echoed.

How long have we been flying?

I lost count because I was tired of waiting.

It feels like about three hours, but in actuality, it only took 30minutes.

「Regina, how long has it been since Xenovia's call?」

「About an hour and a half.」

Dion said it would take five hours on wyverns at full speed.

Which means, Rubeum flew more than three times faster than the full speed of a wyvern.

「Thank you, Rubeum. Aren't you tired?」

「…… Kyuru ……Fine」

Though he said that, Rubeum seems to be considerably tired.

「Leave the battle to me and Regina.」

「Rubeum will also fight.」

「If Rubeum plays an active part in combat, I and Regina won't get to have our turn.」

I said so, and patted gently.

「Kyuru」

「I am sure s.h.i.+ro and Fluffy also want to join the fight, but wait until when I really need you.」

「All right. Kyuru」

While talking to Rubeum, we approached Devil's Forest rapidly.

There were fires all over the forests , and explosions went off in succession.

「Yos.h.i.+! They're still fighting!」

Regina looked happy.

The fact that explosions were still occurring means that the battle is ongoing.

In other words, Xenovia is alive.

「Thank goodness… Even so, it's pretty intense.」

「It's twelve demons, after all. I'm going to rush in first, so I want Master to observe the situation and join later.」

「Roger.」

Regina nodded deeply when she heard my reply.

And then, she patted Rubeum's neck.

「Ruu. Fly to the right.」

「Ruu? All right. Kyuru」

It seems that Rubeum was puzzled for a moment when he was suddenly nicknamed “Ruu”.

However, because it is an emergency, Rubeum did not question it too much.

「You don't have to drop alt.i.tude. I'll just jump down.」

「Ok. Kyururu」

Regina gives the destination to Rubeum in detail.

There was no hesitation. She seems to have a complete grasp on where Xenovia was.

We quickly reached above the heart of the battle.

I could see how Xenovia was fighting.

Surprisingly, there were no more demons left standing.

However, there were even more troublesome enemies.

「…Three tails of Tenebris.」
