"I've grown, but you're still standing still."

Black Flying Dragon's lips curled slightly, a hint of coldness in his smile.

Her ability to manipulate ice is indeed terrifying, but as long as an environment is created where she cannot create ice, the danger level will drop dramatically... All that's left is to think about how to win.

"Humph."

The silver-haired girl uttered a meaningless sound, raised her right hand in front of her and waved it. A cold wind swept across the entire arena, instantly turning the area where she was located into a snowy world with falling snowflakes. The black dragon's fiery blade light fell into it and turned into solid ice blocks, which shattered directly on the ground.

Black Dragon suddenly felt an urge to open its mouth and make sarcastic remarks.

The icy world was still spreading when the silver-haired girl raised her hand and grasped the black dragon. The water beneath the black dragon's feet quickly cooled down, and a blue hand wrapped in chains burst out of the water, taking control of the black dragon.

The battle has only just begun.

Chapter Forty-Nine: A Hasty End

"Judging from your aura, you do seem more like the boss."

The large blue hand, which had not yet closed, exploded on the spot. A black dragon burning with flames stepped out from beside it. The surface of its snow-white longsword was covered with an invisible flame, which scorched the air and caused it to distort.

He sheathed the knife in his left hand, raised his hand and beckoned to the silver-haired girl, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Let me show you what else you can do."

"..."

The silver-haired girl did not respond, but the cold wind in the air grew even more biting, howling as it pounced towards the black dragon. Snowflakes flew everywhere it passed, and large amounts of ice particles gathered and scattered on the ice surface. If we disregard its destructive power, the scene was quite beautiful.

With a wave of her left hand, Black Flying Dragon sent dozens of small mechanical components flying out from the deck of the ship and converging in front of her to form a cylindrical cannon barrel. She then lightly tapped the cannon behind her with her left hand.

biu!

A black beam of light tore through space and time, shooting towards the silver-haired girl. The howling wind instantly changed, and a shield of ice hundreds of meters long condensed in front of the beam. However, it was useless; the beam pierced through and melted it. The black light flashed and disappeared, and a small hole appeared in the armor around the silver-haired girl's heart. She was pierced through, and the enormous impact sent her flying backward like a rag doll, rolling a long way on the snow.

The black dragon didn't stop moving. The moment the girl was hit, it merged into space and reappeared above her. With a stomp of its toes in the air, it slammed into the girl like a black arrow. The immense force carved a trench several meters wide into the ice.

In the deep pit

Black Flying Dragon gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and pressed down hard. Her slash was blocked by the silver-haired girl's palms. To her surprise, the girl's hands, which were white bones last time, had now turned into steel. Although her flesh was instantly melted, these hands stared intently at her, preventing her from advancing any further.

During the standoff, the expressionless girl suddenly breathed on the black dragon, and the white mist instantly condensed into ice blades that slashed towards the black dragon's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Black Flying Dragon suddenly released his grip on the sword, lowered his body to avoid the sneak attack, and with his left and right hands, he drew out the remaining two long swords in mid-air, slashing them upwards in a cross-shaped motion at the girl's armor.

Bang!

The girl's ice armor shattered instantly, and her body, losing its balance, flew backward. The cross-shaped scar on her chest and abdomen nearly severed her entire body.

She retreated quickly, but the black dragon chased even faster. The two soared into the sky one after the other, colliding again in mid-air. As a result, the silver-haired girl was once again knocked away, crashing directly into the cage made of silver chains. A massive arc of electricity covered her body, and even the space itself showed signs of being distorted.

"Sure enough, although this group of people are highly capable, they have very little practical experience and can only imitate what they've learned."

The black dragon stood in the air, its expression gradually becoming arrogant.

Having strong abilities is one thing, not knowing how to use them is another. Last time she was caught off guard, but this time she learned from her mistake, tested the waters a little, and won them over directly.

The electric arc disappeared, and the charred girl fell from the sky, her body covered with deep, bone-revealing scars, and she was no longer moving.

Black Flying Dragon raised his hand and waved, and a light screen appeared, taking the girl's body into the mirror world. Then, he used two long swords containing his own power to pierce through the girl's body and pin her to the void.

The experimental subject has extremely strong vitality, let alone someone who is 64/50 with her. Only in this way can we ensure that she will no longer interfere with us.

"Take care of one, then let me see where the other one is."

After completing the sealing, Black Dragon lowered its head and scanned the sea surface. Its gaze passed through the water and the fortress, locking onto a human body emitting a wave of energy.

She found it strange last time, and now she's certain that the entity wielding the chains is this fortress. This time, the violent blockade is many times stronger than last time, and she guesses that what she fought before was only a part of it... But none of that matters anymore.

With a flash of light, the black dragon vanished into the air. Minutes later, the entire fortress cage became illusory and slowly disappeared.

The cage disappeared, and without warning, a torrential downpour enveloped the black dragon.

boom!

The sound of an explosion came from afar, and Black Dragon immediately turned around and rushed in that direction.

……

In the torrential rain, Tosa dodged the Sirens' cannon fire, appearing extremely disheveled, but his heart remained calm as still water.

"The last test subject was a firepower type, and its suppressive power was indeed very strong, but it was meaningless if you couldn't hit it."

After a brief probing, Tosa had roughly memorized the frequency of this Siren's firepower bursts and its preferred coverage area. Although she wasn't sure if the Siren was going all out, she knew it was about time for her to retaliate.

Her motto was to do what she wanted to do. The moment she made the decision, she changed her direction of movement, and the gun barrels on the ship began to turn.

boom!

White smoke billowed up as the cannonball, compressed by the air, struck the energy projectile of the Sirens' main cannon. The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

With a single hit, the Tosa main guns fired in unison, striking the tower directly. Layers of smoke and clouds rose, shaking the entire tower.

"what happened?"

At the top of the tower, the blue-haired siren opened her eyes. Because it would interfere with her own side's battle, her gravity did not affect the cannonball attack. She thought it would suppress the other side until the battle was over, but she did not expect to be countered in less than a few minutes.

"Her movements, the power of the artillery fire, and all the data in the database are different, making it difficult to determine."

The tall Siren, shrouded in ship equipment, gave a somewhat stiff reply.

"Can we win this?"

The blue-haired siren understood perfectly well that they could never have the data of experimental ship girls from other worlds. Their previous attempts to probe Tosa had been completely ineffective in forcing him to reposition himself; they had simply given up.

"possible."

An uncertain answer.

"Then let's continue."

After their conversation ended, the two sides entered the artillery duel phase.

……

Inside the tower, Yuan sat on a high platform, watching the two battlefields on the screen.

"As expected, only by using ship girls as a basis can a complete experimental subject be created."

Seeing that Number 1 and Number 4 were defeated by the Black Flying Dragon one after another, Yuan frowned, but there was nothing he could do.

She possessed the ship metamorphosis technology left behind by the observers. After a disagreement arose with Mio, she started researching from scratch, trying to find a basic experimental sequence that could rival the life form of the ship girls. The first Ice Girl was indeed very strong, but she only obeyed orders and did not know how to adapt. The second one had strong firepower, but she did not have her own thinking ability. The third one's abilities were not worth mentioning, but she barely had intelligence. The fourth one, Ryougi, was the one who truly rivaled the ship girls in terms of thought and had a strong vitality. However, her combat ability was extremely weak, and she could only serve as a mobile fortress and a cage.

In summary, being defeated 4-on-2 without taking any damage, coupled with a previous record of being defeated 1-on-4 by a black-hat company, is really not ideal.

"Are you leaving?"

From the shadows, the shady business emerged.

"The battle is over, and it's been a long time since I've spoken to my sister face to face... Number 2 and Number 3, stop attacking and let them in."

Seeing the black dragon arrive at the battlefield in Tosa, Gen paused for a moment before issuing the order.

……

Why is it so quiet?

As soon as Black Flying Dragon found Tosa, the enemy's artillery fire stopped.

"I don't know, maybe the ammunition depot was emptied."

Tosa answered with a cold face.

She'd only just started her counterattack, and Black Dragon's side was already done? Doesn't that make her seem weak?

"I've dealt with anyone who tried to stop me. Let's ignore them and go straight in."

Black Flying Dragon didn't know what Tosa was angry about, but he didn't think much of it. He reached out and grabbed Tosa's hand, and in a flash, he entered the tower.

From the outside, it appears as a pitch-black tower, and the same is true from the inside. Not a ray of light can be seen, and there is nothing inside; the entire tower is like an empty shell.

"Oh no, has he run away?"

Black Flying Dragon felt a chill in her heart. Why couldn't she sense anyone here?

"..."

Tosa didn't respond. They hadn't even started looking for Black Flying Dragon yet, and they were already saying things like that. It was really incomprehensible.

"I must commend your courage for breaking through the blockade and getting in."

Suddenly, light appeared in the dark space, and a cold, desolate sound echoed within the tower.

"You've lost this time! Come back with me to see Mio."

Black Dragon squinted to adjust to the white light and responded loudly.

"Keep quiet, I'll take you there."

Yuan's voice rang out again.

"Ok?"

Black Flying Dragon was taken aback, and exchanged a glance with Tosa. Had she misheard? The enemy was leading them to find Mio? Had something been reversed?

"Isn't that great? You won."

Tosa stowed the ship's equipment and reached out to pat Black Flying Dragon on the shoulder.

"We won."

Black Dragon emphasized.

Tosa shook his head slightly, offering no argument.

Soon, the two felt the tower shaking, and a pressure enveloped them.

"What are you doing?"

Black Dragon asked loudly, his voice echoing endlessly within the tower.

There was no answer, but the four walls of the tower became transparent, and through the transparent walls, the black dragon could see the clouds surging down madly.

"We are taking off."

Tosa realized what was going on after just one glance.
