Chapter 207 - Let's Take That Arm
◎ Dragon Palace
「I came to take Hagasu's heart?」
The resounding voice clearly stated to the three dragons. God Dragon Emperor Naga's eyes narrowed as he glared at the man who released those words.
『You have no manners. Coming before me with that false appearance?』
Benzel laughed after those words. Then Benzel was dyed black, and his form slowly changed to a young boy.
「Sorry. When the Skill is activated, self suggestion affects me at the same time, you know? I might become too much like the person himself.」
So saying, the boy with black hair and dark eyes bowed.
『Die!』
A huge spear was suddenly swung downward and destroyed the marble floor.
『Tch, it was avoided?』
Eastern Blue Season Sei said. He tried to execute Naga's direct order, but it seemed like it didn't go smoothly. The target avoided it with a slight step backwards.
「Dangerous. Let's enjoy ourselves chatting for a bit longer.」
『Why would I enjoy conversing with a thief? Don't get carried away, devil.』
Naga bellowed. While applying a barrier to defend the Reincarnation Dragon egg with his left arm, he summoned a huge golden sword with his right arm.
「Ah, that’s『Golden Dusk』, isn't it? It’s been a thousand years, but it looks like it isn't really much different from the game.」
Suza and Sei didn't understand the meaning of those words and frowned. Naga knew the meaning of those words, but he didn't have the words to reply.
『Step back, Suza, Sei.』
In accordance with Naga's order, Suza and Sei jumped back. A golden wind was fired from the sword at the black young boy, and the God Dragon Emperor's throne room was filled with light.
『Disappear in the light.』
Naga said, but a torrent of black light competed against the gold.
『Nu?』
Naga's eyes opened wide.
『What is that?』
『Black light?』
Sei and Suza shouted with surprised voices. 『Golden Dusk』was a Light attribute magic sword. It wasn't normal for it to be resisted with its anti-attribute, Dark.
「That sword is like a devil's natural enemy, huh.」
A carefree voice could be heard as the gold and dark light collided.
「But it looks like it's a little insufficient for our special guest here.」
And after the gold and dark light burst, there was another person besides the boy. He was dressed in jet black, just like the young boy. But his eyes were different. They were simply darkness. Jet black darkness that swallowed everything.
「Devil King Shiroi Yukito-sama has arrivedー!」
The black boy seemed to be enjoying himself as he smiled and introduced him.
「Age, it's... dragon. Eat?」
「Yukito Nii-chan is as gluttonous as ever.」
Suza shuddered as he looked at the man called Yukito. He seemed like he had almost no intelligence. But the dusky malice that dwelled in his eyes couldn't be hidden. And Naga recognized the man called Devil King.
『...You're the White King Yukito who ruled the northern Reivel Kingdom?』
Yukito assented while watching Naga with his completely black eyes. That face lacked the intellect it possessed when Naga saw it before, so it didn't seem like the same face.
『Why has the ruined country's king returned to the world after all this time? You've already eaten all your subjects, haven't you?』
He spat out those words of scorn. The presence in front of him was the most despicable existence for Naga, the head of the dragons.
「No. They're here.」
But Yukito denied Naga's words. Then he spread his cloak and raised his voice.
『Skill・Legion』
「Here... surely...」
At that moment, more than 1,000 jet black troops manifested.
◎ Great Dragon Palace, God Dragon Emperor's Throne Room, Front Passage
The first place Jinrai and Naoki went to was the entrance of the palace, but it was closed by a black wall. Then they went to several rooms like security rooms etc., but there was no one in any of the rooms, and now they had followed the scent of blood to just before the God Dragon Emperor's throne room.
「What in the world is this?」
Naoki saying so was natural. Was this what heaps of corpses all around referred to?
There was a huge number of dragon corpses, perhaps all the adult dragons who were permitted to enter the palace. And he was astonished as he saw the scene ahead.
『UooOOOOOOOOOOO!!』
Naga screamed, and
「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」 「Kill!」
A huge crowd of voices filled with hatred were shouting. There was also a large number of Crystallized black soldiers, but it was clear that Naga merely hadn't been finished off yet. However, Sei and Suza were pressed by the army and couldn't go to Naga's side. On the contrary, while they had no fatal wounds, they were on the verge of death. Naga's entire body was covered in cracks, and he was swinging his huge sword with sheer willpower.
「The magic sword is coming!」
「Shield Unit, defeeend!」
The black army moved as if it were a single living creature, and the light of Naga's magic sword attack was blocked by shields. The surrounding archer and ballista units were relentlessly firing at Naga in the meantime.
『GuoOOOOOOO!?』
Naga bellowed, but the situation didn't change.
「That's a splendid anti-dragon formation. What is that refinement?」
Jinrai reflexively said, since that form was like the ideal way for the powerless human species to challenge dragons. Naoki also had his breath taken away as he watched.
(That's the guy who married Aneki... what do I do. How do I help)
The difference in fighting power looked hopeless. At least, confronting that army of one thousand with just himself and Jinrai was excessively reckless. But no plan to reverse the situation came to mind. And Naga in front of him was on the brink of death.
Naoki understood that the dying Naga had married Kazane. Even though it was merely for form's sake, it was no lie that he didn't like it. However, he thought of what his sister would feel if Naga died, and the figure of his weeping sister came to mind,
(There's no choice but to do it?)
So he grasped his magic sword and was about to run,
「Ah, you guys were here?」
And a voice was heard from behind.
「Step back, Naoki!!!」
Jinrai shouted. But it wasn't in time.
「Ah?」
Naoki's field of view changed in an instant. The sound of breaking bones resounded from inside him.
(I was struck?)
He could only barely understand the fact that he was struck. Then Naoki crashed into the passage's wall.
「Naoki!?」
Jinrai rushed to Naoki's side.
(Hm, his wounds are awful, but not to the degree that he'll die?)
So judging, Jinrai looked at the person who attacked Naoki.
「Oops, dangerous. If I remember right, he's a player.『If I killed him』it could have been dangerous.」
Jinrai's sharp gaze was pointed at the young boy who spoke. He suddenly appeared behind them, so did he use the devil's Transfer technique or Invisible like Kazane? So thinking, he set up his spears with maximum vigilance.
「What, are you?」
And those were the words that came out.
The boy in front of Jinrai could only be seen as an ordinary child. An ordinary innocent child. No impurity, no malice; or perhaps he was an existence that was nothing but malice.
「Ojii-san isn't a player, isn't that right?」
Jinrai felt chills from the boy's eyes. He nodded while he stated that, so he was probably confirming to himself that killing me is fine... as Jinrai judged that, he jumped forward
(This guy is... what?)
And swung his spear. The boy had knuckles with knives attached in each hand. Naoki's side was struck by the knuckle. Apparently Naoki wasn't a killing target for the person in front of him,
(But it seems like killing me would be fine)
Jinrai wasn't displeased by that recognition. An exchange with their lives on the line was what he desired. But Jinrai's face currently looked like the incarnation of rage. There was no one who wouldn't feel displeased by an opponent who acted like they were crushing an insect as they tried to kill them.
Jinrai got increasingly angry as his spear attacks were received with a smile.
「Are you fighting seriously, bastard!?」
「I am serious, though.」
Jinrai was being attacked by those knives. The technical skill was certainly high. But it was mismatched. That reminded Jinrai of a certain person.
(If that's the case!!)
Jinrai sent a feint loaded with bloodlust.
「Oops, dangerous.」
(After all!)
Jinrai stepped in further to the boy who stepped back after Jinrai's feint and immediately pierced his chest with the spear in his right hand.
「Gu!?」
As expected, the boy made a surprised expression, but Jinrai was about to stab again with the spear in his left hand,
「Hahaha, you're a capable Ojii-san.」
(Bad!?)
His survival instinct was sounding a warning. Jinrai obeyed it and instantly pulled back. The boy's body collapsed, and darkness spread before his eyes.
(Be in time!!)
But he was too slow. Jinrai's right arm was completely swallowed up.
Then, there was the sound of meat being torn.
