Chapter 240: Like a dragon (2)
It came like a thunderbolt.
!!!
The demons, who were ravaging the continent as always.
The demons, who were trying to make a comeback.
Even the demons who were huddled in the castle.
Throb
As if they had been electrocuted by lightning.
All the demons in the area froze.
Naturally.
Besides the nameless demons, that included the demons of the true name.
Furthermore, it meant that even the demon king was no exception.
The Demon King of Tears.
The 56th ranked demon king, Gremory.
Using the man crouching on the throne as a footstool.
Gremory, who was resting, noticed.
Arcana Continent, in a place far, far away.
A presence came from there!
Chill!
Her limbs stiffened because of the murderous intent.
Even the footstool noticed that something was wrong.
He talked with a concerned look.
Whats wrong, Queen?
But Gremory couldnt answer.
If Im not careful, he might hear my voice!
As she just said.
The presence was felt far away.
The distance was so far away that even if a real thunderstorm had struck, you couldnt hear it, let alone the sound of breathing. However, in the face of fear, Gremory was unable to think normally.
Flash!
The demon kings dignity?
Who cared about that?
Gremory hastily hid behind the throne.
Queen?
The voice of the footstool called out to her.
Gremory glared at the man with murderous eyes.
Was he so stupid that he didnt even notice it?
That uncontrollable energy!
At that moment when she was holding her breath.
She suddenly thought.
Yes, evil eye!
With evil eyes that shone all over the Arcana Continent.
She would be able to find out where this presence came from.
Soon, Gremorys eyes turned white.
It was a process of sharing vision with the evil eyes.
But
Impossible.
She didnt see anything.
At that very moment.
There was no way the countless evil eyes floating in the night sky would have disappeared all at once.
Gremory crawled towards the window.
It wasnt until she looked up at the sky that she noticed the reason.
!
The evil eyes were closing their eyes.
They were as terrified as she was.
They couldnt even dare to open their eyes.
How come?
Flash!
Gremory curled up again.
Then, she pondered on the sensations she felt in her body.
A long time ago
She had definitely felt something similar to this.
In the Demon World.
To be exact.
Bael.
The first rank among the top ten demon kings.
In Baels summoning ceremony.
The fear she felt now was similar to when she looked up at Bael.
Im afraid.
High-ranking demon king.
Even if they were said to be so stupid that they couldnt communicate.
Their power was not stupid.
Gremory remembered it clearly.
The accomplishments Bael had achieved.
It was so great that you could say he turned the power of omniscience and omnipotence upside down.
He had led a world to total destruction.
The only reason I was able to escape that fear was!
Bael.
It was because she was confident that the King of the First Throne was an ally.
But this time, it was not an ally.
Gremory glanced at the man who was her footstool.
The humans are not shaking
What it meant was simple.
At this moment, that murderous intent.
It was only aimed at demons like her.
I-I dont want to die!
It was the second time she felt fear since she was born.
Gremory used her light-colored hair as a blanket to cover her body.
She trembled in fear.
She just hoped it didnt notice her.
She desperately hoped so
*
Messages related to the fear of status abnormalities appeared endlessly.
Why were there so many of them?
For a moment, I thought it was just a spam message.
I hadnt done anything in particular.
My mana is not fully recovered yet.
As complex as it was, holding a cleared rupture or opening a portal to the Arcana Continent consumed a huge amount of mana.
If it werent for the blessing of the World Tree, I would have been sick for a few days.
Of course.
[Skill, Natural Enemy Relationship, is activated]
It wasnt a big problem now that the Natural Enemy Relationship was activated.
By the way.
Millions are just the beginning.
I am your natural enemy and fear.
I had been the one who made that bluff.
How come its quiet?
The moment I stepped on the land of the Arcana Continent.
Wouldnt the demons rush in groups?
Wouldnt I need to break through the siege of demons to find Eunaxus?
I was fully prepared, assuming the worst.
If this is how it is, I am grateful.
This wouldnt end with meeting Eunaxus.
If I were out of luck, I might come into conflict with the force that almost killed Eunaxus. It wouldnt hurt me if the demons were this cooperative. I could save my power.
Have you finally realized that lying face down suits you? I will praise you.
Can you call that praise?
I took a moment to say what I wanted,
I called out to Haiel and Diend.
Haiel, Diend.
I, Haiel, have answered the Masters call.
It feels new to see you here, Master.
Yes, I also couldnt get used to such extreme greetings
But I had no time to worry about it.
I needed to do some preparation before I could meet Eunaxus.
Eunaxus is not just a dragon.
He was the leader of dragons called the Elder Dragon.
The preparations to encounter the old dragon were not yet complete.
I ordered Haiel and Diend respectively.
I, Haiel, will obey Masters will.
Haiel disappeared into thin air first.
I will follow your orders.
The increasingly burdensome Diend also disappeared to carry out the order. Someone spoke to me as I was left alone, so I supposed alter ego number 3 couldnt be left out.
Seeing it again, Its a bitter sight, Master.
The ethereal iron returned to its original state in Illusion Breaker.
I guess this is a good thing as well.
The moment I cleared the code rupture.
There was no longer a need to cut down illusions.
Indeed, befitting of an ego sword with an ego.
Illusion Breaker returned to its original form.
Yes, even though Id rather call it by the name ethereal iron rather than Illusion Breaker I realized this wasnt something to be relieved about.
So what should I cut, Master?
Ethereal iron.
I felt like it just wanted to be called by a new name!
At this moment, the presence of the demons in fear could be felt from all directions.
I tried to think.
Even when just cutting down a prototype.
The ethereal iron awakened under the grand name of Illusion Breaker.
If its awakened to cut the demons
Demon Slayer.
Perhaps, it would have that kind of name.
As I imagined reciting that name with my own mouth.
I couldnt help but worry about my shame.
So I prayed earnestly.
Demons, please stay down like that.
Please, keep lying flat on your face.
Dont displease Grandfel.
My mouth moved as if it knew what I was thinking.
Ethereal iron.
Well, an alter ego cant keep up with the real thing.
It would be faster to count what you wont cut.
You take it one step further than the ethereal iron!
At this rate, wont I end up having to memorize dozens of ethereal irons names?
A name comparable to Illusion Breaker.
I thought of reciting dozens of them.
My hands and feet were already starting to shrivel
*
Every time he took a deep breath, his consciousness faded.
With his dim eyes, he could see it.
The desolate landscape of the Arcana Continent.
The dying old dragon, Eunaxus, laughed.
Such an eternal life.
He thought he could throw it away at any time.
This moment when the shadow of death was upon him.
I was afraid of death.
He realized how arrogant he was.
Eunaxus smile was filled with bitterness.
Ah, Argentress voice rang in his ears.
You dont know anything.
Because you are so perfect, you dont even know what inferiority complex is.
The blessing was like salvation to us who were incomplete!
Even if others point fingers at him.
He should have understood his feelings.
In the end, it was only after death that he realized how Argentress felt.
Eunaxus voice echoed throughout the area.
Mother I will follow your will.
Mothers plan began with his own death.
But even if he closed his eyes like this.
Eunaxus didnt have the confidence to face Mother.
He even failed to persuade the others.
Summoning of all dragons.
That day.
Eunaxus told the story that he had been putting off to his fellow kin who were asleep.
His current situation was the result.
A horribly torn wing.
Wounds all over his body that were deep enough to expose the muscles.
Fading breath.
Yeah.
What could leave such scars on the Elder Dragon on the Arcana Continent?
Likewise, only fellow dragons of the same species could.
Everything is my fault.
Everything was a result of his own shortcomings.
Eunaxus laughed again.
No, technically, it was the result of overestimating his own kin.
Oh, what would Argentress say if he saw this?
I admit it. I am less capable than my brother.
Either through the right way or the wrong way.
If he had been the one who brought the same people together
At least he wouldnt end up like him.
But Eunaxus didnt regret his actions.
Even at the moment of near death.
His eyes shone without wavering.
Those eyes were the proof.
Eunaxus voice was watery.
Claudie
Please, look upon my foolish kin.
He wouldnt ask for forgiveness.
All he wanted was a little mercy.
But if Claudie didnt give it, he would understand.
I dont dare go against your will.
This was really the end.
The dragon heart, which was said to be more immutable than all things in the world, was gradually slowing down.
He finally began to feel pain in the body that had lived eternal life.
Eunaxus took one last look at the landscape of the continent.
You guys were groaning in this pain.
However, it was not only the Arcana Continent that came into his sight.
And you guys brought this pain to others.
He could see the demons who had turned the Arcana Continent into this state.
They licked their lips.
They were whispering.
The dragon heart is mine.
Kikik! I have to make equipment out of the leather.
I can make a weapon out of a dragons fang!!
For the sake of Mothers plan.
He wanted to burn down all the intrusive demons.
He couldnt even afford to do that.
He knew something like this would happen.
So he wanted to ask them to at least leave one wing intact for his kin.
Does this mean that even I cant follow Mothers will?
Him, Eunaxus.
Like this.
Did he have to close his eyes without being able to raise his face to anyone?
It was truly frustrating.
Kuh
With all his might.
He spat out the Dragon Fear.
It was like he couldnt even chase away the demons around him.
I was an infinitely weak being.
Slide
In the end, he couldnt stop his eyelids from closing.
The moment Eunaxus closed his eyes.
For some reason, he felt an unfamiliar touch.
Rustle
From the bridge of the nose.
A voice came to his fading ears.
I heard your cry, Eunaxus.
Only then did Eunaxus notice.
A presence of Mothers energy.
It was Dawns spirit.
But Im sorry, little spirit.
As an older brother who knows Mothers will.
Even if I want to help you in some way.
I am not in a good condition.
However, the answer that he got was surprising.
You dont need to worry.
What did she mean by that?
I didnt come to you alone.
At those words, Eunaxus opened his eyes with all his might.
Then he saw it.
The figure of the dying demons.
On their knees.
Foaming at the mouth.
And then heard it.
Tap tap
The sound of someones footsteps.
Light flickered in the direction where the sound came from.
In that halo.
An upright posture that was gradually revealed.
!
Eunaxus could recognize it right away.
That man was Dawn.
The man who was chosen by Mother.
However.
?
Eunaxus pupils widened like never before.
How?
How!
Your hair
A symbol of the Claudie family.
So brilliant that it hurt.
It was shining silver?
