Dragon’s Bloodline Chapter 86

The Demon King vs. The Black Cats

He wasn’t negligent. However, he was stupid.

That he had to fight against those monstrous people…

(I was careless since nothing bad’s happened recently~!)

No, it wasn’t even a wilderness.

Of the place where the imperial capital once stood, this was all that was left. Of the three million inhabitants that lived there, this was all that was left.

As he tried to escape from there, he realized that he wasn’t be able to.

There was a magical barrier. He couldn’t even teleport and immediately knew who made it from just how strong it was.

Both were called Great Sages, the strongest mages in the continent.

“Halt, there’s no use in trying to run anymore.”

“Well, you went a bit too far.”

Thor. Likely the strongest swordsman in the continent.

A hint of sadness was mixed into his expression.

“Thor-san…”

However, right now, he was an enemy. To destroy the work, or to stop it just beforehand?

“Hey, don’t you want to start the Millennium now? The circulation of souls will, in the end, save this world from ruin. Don’t you understand that?”

Defeating the former Demon King together with him, Azel and Shana had none of that naivety left. Towards Halt Arisugawa, that is.

The person to appear from the depths was Black Cat’s leader.

“Shifaka-san…”

Saint Emperor Ryuke Shifaka.

Living for more than three thousand years, he was an existence that surpassed even a dragon.

“Killing you will spur the demon tribe into action, ringing the opening bell to the Millennium. There is no other way to save this world.”

Setting aside three thousand years, he was an aged old man that had lived through many years.

Halt barked. Summoned as a hero, he’d seen thousands, no, millions of people dying.

“I am no savior. I wish to prevent the Great Collapse from three millennia ago from happening yet again. I live for that reason alone.”

It was something that absolutely had to be prevented. However, that meant taking away every living thing’s future.

His voice filled with anguish, Halt muttered.

ompanions will change a little. I have no intention of leaving demons or humans alive.”

Halt’s mana surged, despite knowing that he definitely held no chance against this many opponents.

The number of lives sacrificed didn’t stop in the thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. All of those deaths were due to the Demon King.

An outcome for the Great Collapse and for the world to make its way past its ruin.

In that moment, Halt was unlike his usual self—the look in his eyes was unbelievably cold.

A giant summoning formation appeared in the sky above them.

“Come, Humanoid Fighting Weapon [Evangelion].”

A golem that exceeded fifty meters in height. However, its true wasn’t obvious from its appearance.

Only Thor—someone from another world—Toru Hakamada, knew that it was something impossible.

Horned like a devil, its humanoid body was jet-black with two daggers in its hands.

Halt’s voice boomed.

“Are you serious…?”

Shifaka was the only one calm, even in a situation like this. However, that calmness didn’t stem from courage, but from indifference to everything.

“That is the power of science. Moreover, it likely uses the power of magic as well…”

“It isn’t a golem. It’s a weapon for the endgame.”

Shifaka drew his sword. A divine sword. It had killed a god, so it was a true divine sword.

And so the battle began.

There was no loser.

Shifaka made the call to withdraw before they started losing people.

The one to win… was the Demon King.

*

The heck.

Really, those people, what were they thinking?

If they gang up on me in a five on one like that, even I wouldn’t have the luxury of holding back!

Stuff like Thermonuclear Darkness Exploding Hell and Meteor Shower… come on, give me a break! [1]

Well, it wasn’t all bad. Even if I worked it out in advance, I was able to measure its operating time limit in actual combat.

Alright, time to teleport. Good work.

“Halt-san… no, Your Majesty Ars.”

Ah, Ferna-san. How long have you been here?

Hey, seriously, stop it. I’m no good against that kind of attack!

But you have the same look as my retainers right now.

I don’t like that, so that’s why I’ve been going solo.

“I will follow your dreams!”

Wow, it came!

The ideal declaration!

“Ferna-san, please stop. My dream isn’t something so wonderful.”

No, really. My dream is pretty haphazard you know?

As an outcome of learning what the Millennium’s meaning is and what not to do against the Great Collapse, there’s already no one but me that can do anything…

In the end, I’m just doing what I want to do.

Maybe I should’ve went to Ogress?

“I’m just doing things that I feel like doing.”

Really, I’m telling the truth. It’s just something that won’t come true without saving the world.

Ah, Ferna-san, please quit it with that pose of holding your fist over your chest.

Ah, and please stop your eyes from shining like that.

Yep, I understand. I do. It’s been directed at me many times after all.

There’s still time for you, so please go and chase after some boy your age and not some old grandpa. I’m even older than your great grandpa!

Yep, she’s my type, so I have to somehow deal with it now before she approaches me. I might not be able to reject her at that point!

While I thought about stuff like that, one of my adorable children appeared.

“Your Majesty~”

Looks like the barrier’s gone too. Well, if I used my real trump card, it’d probably be able to make it through, but it’s still incomplete.

Rei turned up after her as well. As expected, devil wings are faster.

“I was so worried! No, I actually wasn’t worried in the least!”

Eh, what?

Well, it’s better than if you had joined in on that fight.

But I’ll be sad if you don’t worry about me at least a little you know?

“Your Majesty…”

Rei stopped, standing a step away from me. She looked like she might start crying at any moment though.

Ah, she was worried huh. There were two heroes and two grat sages as my opponents after all. I’ll take my time slowly patting her head later.

H-huh?

Moreover, she and Asuka are glaring at each other?

“Your Majesty, who is this woman?”

“Hello, please call me Ferna.”

Ah, Asuka-san, even if they’ve grown bigger, please stop pushing your chest against me.

Even if you grew up to be so adorable, as expected, my morals are hard at work…

“Good to meet you. I am Ars-sama’s adopted child, Asuka.”

Even though I say morals, there was that person huh, Princess Guinevere.

“At the very least, I want to offer my chastity to the person I love from the bottom of my heart.”

But you know, if you think about it.

The only remaining member of that royal family is that person.

Thinking about it now, I’m not obligated to do anything, so I think I chose right yeah?

Well, she made me feel comfortable, so I don’t have the right to say anything though.

Maybe it’s alright for me to gripe in my mind?

While thinking about stuff like that, Ferna-san wound up grabbing my left arm.

Even if I look like this, I am a man.

The destructive power of boobs is a menace to all men.

“For now, let’s guide Ferna-san back to base.”

The girls gathered around for teleportation. Rei, your chest is just as lethal as usually. Hurry up and find a good man, it’s your pop’s request!

I’ll make sure the man’s up to snuff though of course!

“This room is somewhat unusual, isn’t it?”

Yep, this should be the first time Ferna-san’s seen a room like this so her reaction’s normal.

Moreover, it has a bath, toilet, and kitchen added on, so I’ve been living like this.

I didn’t think that those people would catch up to my thousand years of accumulation though.

But even so, I wanted to stay hidden as long as possible.

“Sorry, could you keep watch? I’m going to go to sleep for a while…”

I found various things that can be improved though…

So, Asuka-san.

Stop trying to sleep with me…
