Chapter 699: A Certain Girl and the Direction of the Holy City (side: Miria)
The majority of people who had gathered at the palace for shelter are congregating around the giant hole opened up in the wall from the [Ruin] blast wave.
In truth, I believe it would probably be better to take as much distance from the hole as possible and retreat further inside the palace for the sake of safety. This palace has underground floors which seem more resistant to monster attacks than the above ground floors. In fact, a decent number of evacuees are still hiding underground, as in the worst case they may be able to weather a stray [Ruin] shot that hits the palace.
However, at any rate, the Holy City’s… no, maybe the fate of the world is being decided in the skies above, with the battle unfolding between the Saint of legend and Dragon of Revelation.
Perhaps the outcome of the battle will decide whether or not the world is destroyed. With that in mind, everyone here doesn’t have the inclination to merely wait for time to pass safely inside the inner sanctum of the palace. The same can be said of me.
However, nobody here knows which of them to support. They are torn between the legendary Saint Jornes who clearly transformed into a bizarre monster, and the Dragon of Revelation who appeared to protect us before. Each and every person here is watching the battle intently.
“GuOOOOOOh!”
Although Jornes seemed to have been on the backfoot for a moment, she transformed into a dragon resembling the Apocalypse, and is overwhelming Irushia-san with her newfound mobility. She’s done an about-face from throwing magic attacks and focusing on defence, and has switched to pursuing Irushia-san instead. Suddenly forced to be on the defensive, Irushia-san seems to be trying his hardest to survive.
“Oh! Look, Jornes-sama is overpowering it!”
