---[Underwood], Foot of the Great Tree.
The proclamation of victory that appeared on the Geass Roll raised the morale of all the Participants.
Pressing down on her red hair that was messed up by the winds, Sala pointed to the [Draco Greif] Flag while shouting:
“We have obtained victory! What’s left is only to chase out these disorganized bunches! Comrades! We have come to the last part of our battle! Bear Arms and let’s give them all we’ve got!”
The sounds of celebratory and war cries shook the roots of the entire Great Tree. And comrades who had been worn out from the long battles surged forth with renewed vigor to push back at the Demonic Beasts.
Asuka was one of them but her fighting spirit was boosted due to another reason.
The reason? It is more than obvious. For it didn’t take much for Asuka, a person who wasn’t up there at the scene, to figure it out for herself. To figure out the effects of the released veil on Leticia.
Even so, Asuka did not doubt in the victory. Strictly speaking, she believed in the victory where no one would be lost.
Izayoi-san ……Kasukabe-san will definitely not leave Leticia to die…
Even if from the results, one would see that Leticia’s life was to be forfeited.
That would still be the result of their utmost efforts.
For up till the moment when they could walk with pride and look at each other without regrets---Asuka will continue to hold on to her belief.
“---Quick! Look up! The huge Dragon is descending once more!”
“It’s swooping lower this time!”
“Could it…Could it be planning to attack [Underwood]---!”
Fear and confusion gripped the army.
Amongst the combatants, Asuka silently steeled her resolve.
And that was ……to stand up and block that huge Dragon on her own.
