Chapter 300: Promoting the Yamai Sisters' Relationship
Appearing once more, Franklin had already arrived at the depths of the sea.
Looking ahead, Yamai Kaguya and Yamai Yuzuru were inside a massive air bubble.
Beneath their feet, they were stepping on the surface of the water below the bubble, solving the problem of breathing in the deep sea.
At this moment, the two of them were manipulating giant hands formed of water elements, each gripping an enormous unknown fish and comparing their sizes.
Franklin scratched his head helplessly. Although there was much less aggressive behavior between the two now, they still hadn't escaped the reality of constant rivalry.
Clearly, the two of them loved each other, yet they endlessly engaged in battles that hurt one another…
Thinking this, Franklin rubbed his chin.
Or perhaps it was that after years of fighting, neither of them had the courage to directly face their own hearts.
Even though they resisted conflict deep down, neither was willing to take the first step to show care and concern for the other.
The more Franklin thought about it, the more certain he became that his guess was correct.
And in that instant, a good idea formed in his mind.
Concealing his presence, Franklin brought his hands together. His figure instantly began to change.
Pitch-black dragon scales covered his body. His form elongated and rapidly grew massive. Antlers like those of a deer sprouted from his head, and his limbs transformed, five claws forming on each.
A majestic giant dragon, exuding endless pressure and covered in jet-black scales, was transformed directly from Franklin's body.
"Obviously mine is longer and bigger! Yuzuru's one is just bulky, like Yuzuru herself!"
"Mockery, parentheses laughter. Kaguya's one is the real one—long like Kaguya's figure, but skinny like a chicken rack."
"What are you saying! Who looks like a chicken rack?!"
"Challenge, who are you calling bulky?!"
The giant dragon, Franklin, silently approached the two while suppressing his aura.
Just as Kaguya was about to continue retorting, she suddenly saw a gigantic golden vertical pupil light up behind Yuzuru—one nearly half of Yuzuru's body in size.
The moment their eyes met, an extreme, terrifying pressure came crashing down.
Kaguya froze on the spot, staring blankly past Yuzuru's back.
"…Childish. Kaguya-level tricks like this can't fool Yuzuru…"
Before Yamai Yuzuru could finish speaking, Franklin had already opened his massive dragon maw, letting out a deafening dragon roar behind her.
Yuzuru's body stiffened instantly, and Kaguya no longer bothered arguing.
She reacted immediately, grabbing Yuzuru and fleeing at top speed toward the distance.
Franklin moved like a swimming dragon. With a single surge, he blocked their path. His enormous jaws snapped down toward them without hesitation.
Reacting instantly, Yuzuru threw a punch at the dragon.
In an instant, a compressed water fist slammed into the dragon's mouth, causing the wide-open maw to stagger aside.
Seizing that opening, Yuzuru grabbed Kaguya and swiftly escaped from the dragon's gaping jaws.
"Question: What is that monster? Does Kaguya know?"
Kaguya had only just recovered from the shock, her voice trembling with a hint of tears.
"How would I know? Where did that thing even come from? It just appeared out of nowhere and attacked us out of nowhere—scared me half to death!
Didn't Franklin notice it in advance? Why didn't he warn us…"
Halfway through her words, Kaguya suddenly stopped. Hearing her, Yuzuru also snapped out of her panic.
"Neglect. Forgot about Franklin's protection. We can't be hurt, and we also have control over the Five Elements."
"That really startled me just now—I forgot too. Since we can't be hurt, what are we afraid of? Let's catch it. Tonight we'll have Franklin use it to make soup for us."
Having realized this, the two immediately stopped and turned to face the charging dragon head-on.
"Demonic construct from hell, come and receive the blessing of god-infused power."
"Anger. As the price for frightening Yuzuru, become nourishment for the ocean."
The two exchanged a glance, tacit understanding instantly forming between them.
In the blink of an eye, countless vines formed out of thin air and wrapped around the dragon, only to be torn apart instantly.
Yuzuru didn't lose heart. With a sharp shout, the seawater surged, and a water dragon formed instantly, entangling itself tightly with the black dragon.
Kaguya entrusted everything to Yuzuru without hesitation.
She closed her eyes and focused deeply. In an instant, countless stone swords rapidly formed around her body. A sharp glint flashed through her eyes.
The next moment, thousands of stone swords infused with faint sword intent shot toward the dragon.
Roars, metallic clashes, and explosions rang out endlessly. The seawater gradually turned murky.
After letting out a final roar, the dragon fell silent.
Cautiously, the two observed the situation within the turbid seawater. A hint of crimson gradually spread and blended into the murk.
With a casual wave of Yuzuru's hand, a powerful current swept the murky water away.
What appeared before them was the black dragon's body, densely pierced with stone swords, blood flowing endlessly.
Seeing this scene, both of them instantly grew excited.
"Did you see that~ did you see that~, Yuzuru~? We turned it straight into toothpick fish meat."
"Excellent. Very impressive. As expected of Kaguya, who can wield godly power—defeated it in one strike."
"No way—that was thanks to Yuzuru holding it down so I could do that…"
The two, who had just been hugging and spinning around in excitement, suddenly came back to their senses and shoved each other away in mutual disgust.
Although Kaguya's face was still flushed from victory, she stubbornly said,
"Tch, even without Yuzuru's help, a monster like that would've been easy for me. Just some restraint—what's so impressive about that…"
Yuzuru was the same. The excited blush hadn't yet faded, but her sharp tongue returned immediately.
"Displeasure. Should have let the monster swallow Kaguya directly. That way, Franklin wouldn't have to go through all that extra fusion and sealing."
Noticing this, Franklin raised an eyebrow slightly. Still this dishonest, huh?
That wouldn't achieve the desired effect.
At that moment, the dragon—eyes closed and slowly sinking downward—suddenly snapped its eyes open.
Its body riddled with bloody holes and stone swords, the dragon whipped its tail, its speed instantly reaching an extreme.
In the blink of an eye, Yuzuru watched as the smug-looking Kaguya before her was swallowed whole by the dragon in a single bite.
A black shadow flashed past, leaving only streams of bubbles drifting upward.
This sudden scene caused Yuzuru's mind to instantly go blank. She stared blankly at the spot where Kaguya had been.
In the next instant, the dragon turned back again, and Yuzuru herself was swallowed whole as well.
"Who turned off the lights? Yuzuru? Franklin? Is anyone here?"
Yuzuru's frozen mind snapped back instantly. She snapped her fingers, and a spark of flame lit up the surroundings.
Seeing Kaguya covered in sticky fluid, her swimsuit slowly being corroded, Yuzuru could no longer avoid her true feelings.
She lunged forward and tightly hugged Kaguya.
