Miracle Summoner

This day may well be destined to be etched into history.

For before the invincible multinational fleet of the Sanctuary Treaty Organization appeared, an even more unfathomable, awe-inspiring power emerged.

"BOOOOOM—!!!"

At that earth-shaking roar, a terrifying surge of magical power erupted from the direction of Itogami Island, like molten lava bursting forth, rising all the way to the sky.

That mana shook the heavens, quaked the earth, stirred the seas, ripped apart the atmosphere, and even tremored the dragon veins coursing through Itogami Island, as though they were afraid.

Such titanic magic had never been seen in this world.

Such dreadful mana had never existed.

Looking closer, at the source of that power a youth stood, eyes blazing crimson, red wings unfurled, expelling limitless magic.

Then, within the towering column of mana reaching the sky, a magnificent golden-green Divine Dragon appeared.

"ROAAAAR—!!!"

Its roar echoed across the heavens as it descended above Itogami Island.

Its body was as massive as a celestial pillar.

Its aura was as overwhelming as a tsunami.

The Divine Dragon continued to grow larger, until it dwarfed even Itogami Island, which looked like a platform beneath its foot.

Its sudden arrival shocked everyone on the island—and struck terror in the approaching multinational fleet.

No one knew what kind of monster it was.

No one knew why such a dreadful dragon had appeared.

They didn't even know its origin.

Perhaps only a few knew the secret: this dragon had once appeared at the Blazing Banquet, defending a youth against the beings of Kaleid Blood. Its power rivaled that of a Primogenitor's Beast Vassal.

Now it had grown even stronger—empowered by vast mana, massive in size, its strength climbed to incredible heights.

Lowering its head from the direction of Itogami Island, it stared down at the incoming fleet.

Then…

"FOOOOOSH!"

An icy breath exploded forth.

The majestic giant Divine Dragon unleashed a stream of freezing breath toward the Sanctuary Treaty Organization's fleet. From Itogami Island, it swept relentlessly across the waters.

"CRACKLE… CRACKLE… CRACKLE…"

Under that breath, the sea froze in an instant.

Roiling waves became icebergs.

Surging seas solidified into glacial plains.

Spray from the heights spun into falling ice crystals—an utterly breathtaking scene.

In mere seconds, starting from Itogami Island, a glacier unfolded, sweeping across the waters toward the fleet.

There was no doubt—it was enough to freeze the entire fleet solid.

Amid this, someone aboard the multinational navy fleet could no longer remain idle.

"BOOOM!"

On a massive battleship, a wave of mana—nearly rivaling Vatler's—erupts.

Within the mana manifested a Beast Vassal.

A shapeless monstrous sea creature with ferocious wings and countless tentacles—clearly a Primogenitor's Beast Vassal.

Indeed.

The Three Primogenitors themselves had boarded the fleet.

They came to challenge Rozen—the Divine Child whose power could even overwhelm the Chaos Princess.

Without their presence, the Sanctuary Treaty forces would have paid a heavy price to challenge the Divine Child who seized the Fourth Primogenitor's power.

But now, before war officially began, the Organization's strongest force had already been cast forward.

In response to the dragon's strike, one Primogenitor unleashed their Beast Vassal.

Even the Fourth Primogenitor's strongest Beast Vassals would struggle one-on-one.

Yet, when that Beast Vassal took wing and spread its tentacles to block the dragon's ice breath, the icy wind shattered its defenses with ease—freezing the beast into an ice sculpture.

"CRASH!"

The ice statue shattered.

The Primogenitor's Beast Vassal was extinguished in an instant.

The dragon's frost breath swept across countless ships, freezing them upon the sea's surface.

With a single strike, the fleet lost over half its firepower.

"Impossible!"

It was what everyone wanted to scream.

"How could it…!?"

It was the sentiment within the Sanctuary Treaty forces.

But their denial could not change reality.

"ROAAAAR—!!!"

The dragon—named Hokuto—roared skyward and descended from Itogami Island.

The fleet unleashed cannon fire, missiles, and waves of magic and jujutsu, bombarding Hokuto. The dragon roared in response.

Although Hokuto's bulk had increased with its growth—reducing its agility—no attack slowed it.

For Hokuto's wounds recovered instantly, fueled by Rozen's boundless mana.

Bracing against the barrage, Hokuto flew over the fleet, breathing freezing winds that encased one warship after another in ice.

Many mighty Beast Vassals rushed from the fleet to challenge Hokuto, but each was frozen by a single breath before posing any threat.

All of them were Primogenitor Beast Vassals.

Yet none could stand against Hokuto, and they were slaughtered in turn.

Hokuto clashed fiercely with the fleet on the sea, like a colossal beast from a sci-fi epic facing an army—amid a storm of cannon fire and arcane might.

The Sanctuary Treaty forces threw all their power at this fearsome dragon—but they were halted in their tracks.

The Organization guessed the strike came from Itogami Island and dispatched airships and submarines, attacking from sky and sea, seeking to bypass Hokuto and assault the island.

Yet…

"Boom!"

Amid a splash, a giant chain as thick as a pillar erupted from the sea floor.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Chain after chain burst forth from the ocean, spiraling toward the sky.

They encircled Itogami Island like protective vines around a flower bud, like whirlwinds or tornadoes.

"RUMBLE…"

The ocean churned violently, forming a massive vortex.

Airships were blocked by the thrashing chains, unable to proceed.

Surface fleets were caught in raging currents, their formations broken.

The Beast Vassal form of the Injunction Shackles, transformed into a living chain, grew giant, fully dominating the waters around the island.

Under these conditions, any fleet attempting to breach Itogami Island was undone.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, airships and submarines lost control and exploded, struck from above and below by the swirling chains.

Thus, the Sanctuary Treaty forces' fleet could no longer approach—it faced a dire crisis.

Today would be a nightmare for the world's nations.

Because of their own ambition, Rozen struck without mercy.

Sanctuary Treaty nations lost a powerful military force—their manpower, finances, and military prowess dealt a devastating blow.

This was the price.

A price that would wound the world's nations—and one that forced everyone to truly recognize the power of this Divine Child.

After today, many will break.

They gambled and lost more than they bargained for.
