Drado was full of amazement when he saw Victini appear beside Natsuhiko.
Pa—
Natsuhiko slapped his palm on the little fellow's head and rubbed it vigorously.
"Leave it to me."
"Nimi?"
Victini looked into Natsuhiko's eyes. After a brief stupor, he still nodded, choosing to trust Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko once again looked towards Drado.
If, say.
Drado's choices and what he plans to do in the future can really save the "Land of Earth."
Then right and wrong cannot be discussed.
But the perceptive Natsuhiko knew.
Drado merely believes what he's doing is right, but once the "Earth Sword" moves, the Dragon Vein will rampage.
Not only will the "Land of Earth" fail to recover, the entire Aindoak will be completely destroyed, and all the surrounding mountains and forests will be devoured completely by the out-of-control Dragon Vein.
"Today."
Natsuhiko pressed Victini's head, speaking words as if they were truth, "Victini shall break free from restraint!"
After a brief shock, Drado also came to his senses, listening to Natsuhiko's words, he took a stance.
Boom!!
Suddenly.
A milky-white pillar of light shot up from deep below the castle.
The pure beam contained no impurities, even ignoring all the rock and wall barriers, shooting straight to the sky.
Enveloping Natsuhiko and Drado within it.
Standing nearby, Lance saw this scene and couldn't help but shout: "Natsuhiko!!"
However, as he just approached, he felt an obstruction, along with a burning heat.
This scene.
Not only Lance saw it, but all the residents of Aindoak Town also saw it.
Sheba, who was waiting in his usual spot for the boss to make buns, silently swallowed the bun in his mouth.
Smacking his lips, "What are Lance and Natsuhiko up to now, those two guys?"
"What's that?"
"So bright, yet so warm."
"I've attended Aindoak's 'Winter Festival' several times, never seen such an event?"
Many outsider tourists were debating it.
Only a small number of older "Earth People," or those more familiar with the history of the "Earth People," were staring at the scene in shock.
"Mama..."
Calita, who was helping Jiangta organize a stall, mumbled as she saw the pillar of light.
The Shining Hydreigon by her side also stared dazedly at the pillar, eyes showing a bit of longing and genuine respect.
Jiangta's expression wasn't much better than Calita's, but her recovery was much faster than Calita's.
With a heavy and complex tone, she spoke a term.
"Dragon's... Trial."
"Dragon's Trial?" Calita indicated she had never heard of such a thing.
Jiangta silently sighed, "It can also be called 'True Trial'."
"Mama, you mean..." Calita's eyes gradually widened.
Jiangta nodded.
"Legend has it that when the old king exhausted his life, the two princes awakened, and because power was depleted the Twin Dragons transformed into the 'Light Stone' and 'Dark Stone,' reportedly they each chose places to bury them deeply, no one knows where the Twin Dragons are truly hidden.
Some say, the Twin Dragons are beneath the castle, others say... the Twin Dragons don't wish to see the 'Earth People' and thus won't reappear in Aindoak.
Unexpectedly..."
"The 'Light Stone' is beneath the castle?" Calita added to Jiangta's words.
Jiangta once again gazed at the pillar of light, "Such a phenomenon has only ever appeared once before in the history of the kingdom.
But back then, there wasn't just a white pillar of light, there was a black pillar of light too..."
"Brother..... he's up there too." Suddenly, Calita thought of her brother Drado.
"And Mr. Natsuhiko and Mr. Lance."
"Mama, won't they... be okay?" Calita asked.
Jiangta shook her head, "I, don't know."
At the same time.
The town mayor Mormondo, who had just walked out of the castle, also saw this scene from below.
Mouth agape.
"Dragon's Trial!"
Those who receive recognition become heroes, while those who fail to gain recognition are considered desecrated, and will be burned by endless Cyan Flame.
As mayor, he could see far more documents than normal "Earth People."
