"Although the atmosphere of this continent is so freaking hot and powerful that we can't move through the skies for long periods of times, if we just stay still above here, it's a whole different deal!" Laughed Charlotte, the blonde tomboyish Dwarf Captain, as her Unique Skills merged with Fuyu's physical form, the giant Floating Frost Castle.
In the shape of a gigantic vessel, the Frost Castle shapeshifted, opening gigantic cannons that started charging with Charlotte's Unique Skills powers, her Divinities, and Fuyu's own Divinities too.
"Let's see…! [Divine Airship Captain Magic]: [Heavenly Lightning Cannons]!"
As a pirate hat made of golden thunder materialized above Charlotte, while the rest of her robes gained a captain robe-like appearance made of the same divine thunder, Charlotte's almighty powers connected to Fuyu's physical form.
The cannons loaded with large quantities of lightning, as they unleashed dozens of beams made of divine thunder, blasting hundreds of Divine Beasts below!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Impressive, although you're only Rank 8 Initial Stage compared to everyone else, your powers have increased a lot, Charlotte!" Fuyu said in surprise. "I wouldn't be able to defend myself as much without your powers to help! Even if you're a bit cowardly about fighting in the frontlines, you're quite useful!"
"Geh! That's rude!" Charlotte sighed. "Listen I am a Captain, not some insane nutjob that enjoys battles to the death! But if it's for my friend Drake, I'm more than willing to fight! …As far away from danger as possible, of course."
"ROOOOAARRR!"
"SHAAAAAH!"
"GRUOOOHHH!"
However, to Charlotte's surprise, if she didn't approached danger, danger would knock her doorsteps anyways. Almost a hundred Rank 7 to Rank 8 flying Divine Beasts flew towards Fuyu! From Volcanic Wyverns to Blazing Giant Moths, and even Infernal Bat Kings, several fiery projectiles started falling over the floating vessel, while some physical fighters attacked with sharp claws and tails!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Ugh…! The barrier I have is strong but I'm wasting too much energy maintaining it!" Fuyu cried, sustaining a divine rainbow-colored barrier around her body, fueled by Drake's vast Divine Realm.
"D-Dammit, I guess I'll have to use my secret weapon!" Charlotte smiled, her eyes glowing with bright golden light. "[Divine Airship Captain Magic]: [Defensive Maneuvers]!"
FLAAAAASH!
Suddenly, the entire frost-made ship was surrounded by a wave of electricity which generated sharp spikes that began to pierce through the bodies of the Divine Beasts trying to break through the barrier!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Gryyyaargh!"
"Gruoohhh…!"
"Gryyyaar!"
The monsters started being electrocuted at a tremendously fast speed, their bodies were cooked alive, as they started falling like a rain of charred corpses over the battlefield!
"And now, for a finisher…!" Charlotte smiled. "[Divine Airship Captain Magic]: [Mighty Thunder Anchor]!"
Charlotte controlled chains made of thunder from within Fuyu's interior as a huge thunder-made anchor emerged, moving across the skies, and crashing over dozens of flying Divine Beasts at once, explosive electricity hit them alongside tremendously heavy blows.
CRAAAAASSSH! BAAAAAAM!
"Wow, amazing!" Fuyu started clapping at Charlotte's accomplishments. "With that you could actually become pretty mighty if you had the courage to enter the battlefield below though!"
"I-I would rather stay here!" Charlotte cried.
Meanwhile, as the massacre continued, a little Fire Giant girl with black horns and a red, regal dress glanced into the skies, while holding a brown-colored teddy bear with her hands.
"That damn flying thing… How dares it destroy my adorable little monsters?!" The girl gritted her teeth, furiously waving her hand, as several magic circles emerged around her. "Come, my Infernal Beasts! Destroy that flying thing! [Divine Infernal Beast Summon]!"
FLAAAASH!
The magic circles summoned enormous beasts made of flames, resembling wolves, gorillas, or giant bats, which roared furiously, exuding the power of Rank 8 Peak Stage Divine Beasts! She didn't just summon a few little guys, but nearly fifty in a single second!
"ROOOAARRRR!"
The beasts instantly took flight even if some didn't even had wings, beginning to attack the ship once more, fireballs, fire breath, fire beams, everything fire-related was unleashed at once!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Charlotte!" Fuyu cried. "Come on!"
"I'm doing my best!" Charlotte sighed, seeing the rest of the crew that were giving her their smaller Mana and Divine Energy for her techniques to be used well. "But those things aren't dying so easily!"
"Should we pull back to the Divine Realm?!"
"But we'll be of no use for Lord Drake like that…"
"I don't want to be useless!"
"Dammit!"
Humans, lizardmen, ice giants, and beast people complained, feeling frustrated that they couldn't step into the dangerous battlefield beneath. Their only saving grace was cooperating with Fuyu and Charlotte in the floating airship and blast monsters from above.
But one of the Four Hounds had made them her target, the little Fiera, the Infernal Princess, possessed the ability to Summon Divine Beasts with her powers!
"Bwahahaha! What are you doing now?! Your barrier and anchor's not working properly, huh?! Attack!" Laughed Fiera, as her army of beasts continued bombarding the entire airship.
The barrier started slowly gaining more and more cracks, the divine beasts that Fiera summoned were ten times as tough as the rest, and only a few ones had died before Charlotte's Skills, even the Elemental Cannons of Frost and Water summoned with the help of the rest of the crew were not doing that much damage either.
"Pathetic! You're all so pathetic!" Laughed Fiera. "Come on now! Let's quickly push that thing down together! [Divine Infernal Beast Summoning Magic]: [Infernal Beast Fusion]!"
FLUOOOSH!
Suddenly, over twenty Infernal Beasts merged together into a gigantic blazing fist, with fiery red eyes and large insect-like legs!
Not only was Fiera capable of summoning them, but she could fuse and transform their shapes and appearances as she desired.
It was slightly similar to Drake's Spirit Creation, yet at the same time different as she didn't summon Spirits, nor had any other elements than fire.
"DIEEEE!" Laughed Fiera, the gigantic Infernal Fist Divine Beast reached the airship, clashing against it!
BAAAAAAAMMM…! RUMBLE!
The barrier shattered into pieces, as the airship was about to receive the blazing explosive impact!
However…
CRAAASH!
It ended hitting two large draconic figures instead!
"Huh? Who are those?!" Fiera asked, glancing at uninvited guests.
"We won't let you touch Fuyu!"
"That's papa's airship."
