Chapter 642 Goddess Padra’s Apostle’s Trump Card
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
The moment they stepped out of the temporary base, Luluane and Tiana summoned their mounts—two massive great eagles, each large enough to carry a rider. The birds weren’t identical; their plumage and size differed just enough to show they were distinct individuals of the same species.
Flying meant they could reach the smoke signal faster than any ground rescue team, and if necessary, engage the so-called Apostles of God directly. It was the smart move.
”Shinji-san, you should ride with us!” Luluane offered.
”No need,” Shinji replied, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “I have my own way… Flair.”
”Finally, it’s my turn!”
At his call, sparks danced in the air and a bronze-skinned beauty stepped forth from the fire itself. The aura of magic rolling off her made Luluane and Tiana gape, their eagles shifting uneasily. It was the same overwhelming presence they’d felt from Freri.
(So Freri-san wasn’t the only one…! This is what it means to be an Apostle who’s saved the world multiple times…!)
If this were just about transport, Sylphy would’ve been the better choice—but she was busy managing the valley. For carrying only Shinji, Flair was more than enough.
Her body shimmered, flames unfurling into brilliant wings on her back. With one arm wrapped around him, she lifted Shinji into the sky. Her arms looked delicate, but as a high-ranking spirit, her body was reinforced with magic—and Shinji himself used Gravity Control to lighten his weight. Together, they soared without effort.
The group streaked across the sky toward the smoke, cutting through clouds like arrows. Shinji scanned the ground below as they flew, but there was no sign of fighting, fleeing survivors, or anyone crying for help.
(The smoke’s been rising for a while now. Either we’re already too late… or it’s a trap.)
A smoke signal would alert the enemy as well. If it was still burning, it meant the enemy was letting it burn—because it worked to their advantage.
”Most likely a trap,” Shinji said. “But leaving someone to die isn’t an option. We go.”
”Yes, Master!”
”Well said! Forward, nojaaa!”
Even as they agreed, Shinji couldn’t help thinking they should be moving more carefully, laying out some strategy instead of flying straight in. Flair, on the other hand, was thrilled by their reckless resolve; her excitement had only grown since he summoned her.
(Good grief… this is going to be messy.)
From the rear, Shinji kept his eyes on them, already bracing himself for whatever lay ahead. Because of that, he reacted a beat too late when Luluane suddenly shouted.
”Shinji-san! I see them—!!”
”Wait, don’t—!”
Too late. Luluane and Tiana spurred their eagles into a steep dive. The cause was obvious: a captured survey team, and one young man being toyed with by a succubus.
”Unhand him at once! That indecent act ends here!” Luluane declared as she leapt down, naginata pointed squarely at the demon.
She stood tall and righteous, the very image of a holy knight. To the battered explorers, her arrival felt like salvation. To the succubus, it was nothing but irritating.
”Oooh, scary,” the demoness mocked, giggling. “So what are you gonna do about it, huh?”
The young man let out a pitiful cry as her tail coiled around him, his hips jerking helplessly under her control. Luluane flushed crimson but held her weapon steady. Tiana dropped beside her, standing firm.
Between them and the succubus, zealots stepped forward, weapons gleaming. They wore white vestments with pointed hoods, just like the pursuers in the caves—but the pressure rolling off them was far greater. Each one had lain with the succubus, their bodies overcharged with corrupt magic. To the Resistance, they were nightmares given flesh.
Shinji landed just as Flair stepped past him, grinning fiercely. At last, she had opponents worth punching.
”This might actually be fun!”
”Defense is Freri’s job,” Shinji said. “You can cut loose.”
”Music to my ears, noja!”
But Shinji’s eyes weren’t on the zealots. They were on the succubus, still toying with the captive youth. She looked like every succubus he’d fought before—same wings, same smirk. But the weight of her magic told him enough.
As Flair advanced, Luluane raised her voice.
”From the start—we go full power! Beast Equip!“
At once, both eagles dissolved into motes of light, streaming into their summoners. Shinji’s eyebrows rose; it wasn’t a summon, and it wasn’t a dismissal. The light fused with their bodies, sparking dramatic change.
Their magic flared, doubling, tripling—Luluane’s aura rivaled Emily’s, while Tiana’s surpassed Alvin’s. Physical strength spiked too. And their forms shifted: wings sprouting from their backs, claws at their shoulders, tail feathers fanning behind them. They wore the fragments of their eagles like living armor.
Beast Equip. The trump card of summoners serving Goddess Padra. This was why Luluane and Tiana had been chosen.
The technique merged summoner and beast, eliminating the weakness of a targetable familiar and amplifying their control. The stronger the beast, the greater the reward. To fuse with a mythic beast was considered the peak of a summoner’s path. The drawback? It devoured stamina, and couldn’t be used back-to-back.
Even Shinji was taken aback. Freri, who had appeared at his side without him noticing, sparkled with envy.
(That’s so cool… I wanna try that with Shinji.)
(Useful, sure. But eyes forward.)
As if sensing their gaze, the succubus turned. For a heartbeat, her mocking grin froze. She felt it—the gap in class. Her magic, born of one world’s scraps, was nothing compared to Freri’s, who had drawn from countless worlds and countless women—including goddesses themselves.
”…Ah. W-wait!”
She bolted skyward, abandoning her toy without hesitation. Luluane cried after her, but it was too late.
”I’ll chase,” Shinji said. “Hold the line.”
”Leave it to me, noja! Haaah!”
Flair’s flames split the zealots’ ranks, carving a path. Shinji surged forward, hot on the succubus’s trail, while Luluane and Tiana stepped up to block the zealots’ pursuit.
”Good luck!” the sisters called together.
Behind him, screams rose as zealots fell. Ahead, only the fleeing succubus mattered. Shinji pressed on.
