The Lord of the Clock Tower is a wealthy person – this is something every Magus knows, and despite knowing this, Naoki couldn't help but be surprised by Riddell's wealth.
"Wow, being picked up by a private jet, it's really magnificent."
Sitting inside the private jet, Naoki looked at the luxurious first-class cabin, which only contained himself, Gray, and Riddell, and said with admiration.
Across from Naoki, Riddell held a cup of red tea, smiling proudly: "It's fine at work, but outside of work I don't really like being noticed by many people, especially if I get recognized, it will cause a lot of unnecessary things, so wherever I go, I just rent everything out directly."
"As expected of a Lord..." Gray was mesmerized, "But..... Is it alright? Brother and I entering your private space."
"Ah, you guys – well, Gray is fine, Naoki is just tagging along by coincidence."
Hearing those impolite words, Naoki could only smile wryly: "Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness, Miss Archelot."
Curling up slightly, Riddell sipped her red tea: "By the way, where did you go this afternoon?"
"Wandering around, I didn't have the energy to accompany you women shopping."
"Weren't you able to defeat a dragon? You don't even have that much strength?"
"When it comes to shopping, you women are scarier than dragons."
Naoki would rather fight Cocytus dozens more times than accompany women shopping, it could really take half his life.
Frowning slightly, Riddell put down her teacup: "So, there's still about an hour before we arrive in London, how should we spend this time? Can you play cards?"
"I can only play karuta."
"What's that?"
"A special game in Japan, very simple, if you want to play I can teach you. Gray, want to join?"
"..."
There was no answer.
Naoki and Riddell both looked at Gray – for some reason, her face showed an unconcealable fear.
"Gray? What's wrong?" Naoki approached and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Travel sick?"
"No..... Brother... No..."
Gray tightly grasped Naoki's sleeve.
"Something is coming. I can feel it, there's a fairy approaching here, I can feel it."
"A fairy?"
"Naoki, what's wrong with Gray?" Riddell asked, "If she's feeling unwell, I'll call the flight attendant."
"Don't!"
Gray's sudden shout startled Naoki and Riddell.
As if a drowning person was clutching at a life raft, Gray tightly gripped Naoki's clothes at his chest, sobbing: "Brother, it's coming. I can feel it, it's a very special and very powerful fairy, it's coming!"
"Foolish Gray is right."
Add, hanging on Gray's cloak, also reminded them.
"There's someone very powerful coming."
"I know."
Although he didn't understand, but because Gray and Add said so, Naoki wouldn't doubt its truth. To accommodate the soul of King Arthur, Gray's body was specially adjusted to be very sensitive to fairies, if she said a powerful fairy was coming, it meant –
[Outside! Attack!]
The information suddenly appeared in his mind.
Without the slightest hesitation, Naoki immediately pulled Gray and threw her towards Riddell, pushing them both back forcefully, at the same time kicking the table and using it as a shield in front of him.
And as he completed all those movements–
*BANG!*
A powerful attack directly broke through the tightly closed first-class door, a sea of fire instantly surged in, immediately turning the entire first-class cabin into a sea of flames!
Strangely, despite being in the middle of the sea of fire, Naoki didn't feel the temperature increase in the slightest. And even more confusingly, the fire that filled most of his vision wasn't the normal color of fire, but rather like ghost fire, bluish-green in color.
"Found you."
A slightly hoarse male voice came from the doorway, kicking away the table, Naoki turned towards the door, and saw Aleister wearing a long black robe standing in the doorway, behind him floated three semi-transparent, ghost-like fairies.
"Clearly came with ill intentions."
Reaching out to protect Riddell and Gray behind him, Naoki said calmly: "You two stay back, I'll deal with him."
"Huh? What are you saying?"
Riddel instinctively retorted. She was a Lord after all, perhaps she panicked a little when Cocytus appeared, but that didn't mean she was a helpless weak woman, in terms of Magecraft she was a true Lord!
"Naoki, are you underestimating me as a Lord? Go to the back, I'll show you the abilities of the Department of Botany Lord!"
"Miss Archelot, please calm down, in a situation like this, let me, the professional – "
Naoki had just wanted to persuade Riddell to go back, when Aleister standing at the door suddenly seemed to have his switch flipped, the Mana in his body instantly increased, the three fairies floating behind him instantly expanded and released a large amount of bluish-green flames!
Then, the terrifying bluish-green flames, like a flood, directly engulfed Naoki!
"I will– "
"Get behind me!"
Without hesitation, kicking Riddell backward, Naoki instantly unleashed his Magecraft to the maximum, striking the surging flames with a single blow!
Although he didn't know the effect of these bluish-green flames, it was clear that they were the result of Magecraft, in that case, extinguish them with stronger Magecraft – Naoki thought so.
However, just as his Magecraft made contact with the flames, Naoki's Magecraft suddenly disappeared without a trace, even the Reinforcement Magecraft that had already been activated was inexplicably forcibly canceled. And conversely, the momentum of the wave of fire surging towards Naoki instantly increased several levels!
"What– "
Almost defenseless, Naoki was instantly swallowed by the wave of fire!
However, something even more absurd happened, only swallowed for a second, the wave of fire instantly disappeared, Naoki also stood in the same place unharmed.
"This..... What happened?"
Naoki felt confused, he really felt like he was going to be completely burned in an instant just now, but the fire wasn't hot at all, as if he had only been hit by a strong wind.
How could this be?
And just as Naoki was full of questions, the information appeared in his mind once again–
[Front! Hit the head!]
Naoki instantly came to his senses, and just as he did, his eyes directly saw a rapidly enlarging fist in front of him!
'Evade – no, Gray and Riddell are behind me! Use Reinforcement Magecraft to stop it!'
His two hands instantly crossed in front of his chest, at the same time using Magecraft...
'Huh? Mana... Can't feel it?'
The empty feeling inside his body made Naoki's thoughts freeze for a moment, and at the same time, the fist as hard as a rock directly struck his two arms!
*CRACK!*
A clear cracking sound rang in everyone's ears.
Then, like a kite with a cut string, Naoki was instantly sent flying by a single punch! After hitting several tables and chairs, he slammed into the wall and created a human-shaped dent!
