Chapter 496 – Pride and Greed (4)
=============================
Daughter of the Dragon Lord.
A red dragon that breathes the flames of eons.
– Lemeria.
The woman with her red hair hanging down was a comrade-in-arms who fought together on the battlefield during a bitter cold blizzard.
What did she come to visit?
She stared at the woman sporting her piercing eyes like an arrogant she-cat. It was an unexpected reunion, so she was bewildered.
She “Confirmed her breach of oath. She wants to control it and she will have the Lord intervene on her front.”
The long-protected balance is facing its worst catastrophe. So the Guardian of the Balance stepped forward.
Dragon Lord,
Ragnar Lodbrok.
The Guardian of Balance and Providence stood up.
She was dispatched to the scene and Lemeria, who confirmed the violation of the oath, immediately notified her of her participation in the war. This was a direct breach of the pact, so the decision was made very quickly.
“The reason for breaking the oath… How absurd.”
“I know.”
Lemeria let out a deep sigh.
Can not believe it.
The reason for violating the oath was ‘greed’.
Shall we say that it is a justification that is truly suitable for a monster called a beast of lust? It was a stupid word that didn’t make any sense.
“… I don’t think it’s worth it.”
If he had broken the oath with the purpose of stealing the power of the demon god, he might have been a little convinced.
However, the cause of Grid came from the desire to occupy Gilead.
Like coveting rare pottery,
As if trying to claim a valuable jewel-.
There is no such thing as a cause.
Thoroughly moved for her own desire.
A dragon that values justification was like the limit of greed that could never be understood.
“You talk a little harshly in front of your face.”
“I was just telling the truth. Why did you violate the oath in order to take over an ordinary, plain human? I really don’t understand… Is it that the aesthetic standards have been shattered?”
It is indeed a strict aesthetic eye.
Plain and plain…
Lemeria’s evaluation pierced her heart.
But what can I do?
An answer based only on facts.
“Kuhhh… , Haha!”
Heinkel burst into laughter at the sight of Lemeria, who was infinitely serious, and Yushin, who showed shyness.
It was a serious place to discuss future measures, but I couldn’t help laughing. If El had been on the scene, she would have burst into laughter like Heinkel.
“I’ll see you again with Ragnar. The rise of the Oath is an emergency that the Guardians of Balance have been wary of for a long time…”
Human. Elf. Monster.
And even the dragons declared their participation in the war.
What could this mean?
The battle of the absolutes, which God tried to stop even by activating the suppression force, was not far off. The entire continent will be caught up in the aftermath.
It is definitely a pleasure to reunite with old friends.
But-.
From the point of view of ordinary citizens who make a living while maintaining peace, it would have been a ‘disaster’.
“Rod has always been on the lookout for surprises.”
“It must be because he is a dragon lord who has the ability to foresee the causality of the world. The problem is that we haven’t come up with any countermeasures against it.”
“…”
In response to Heinkel’s answer, Lemeria slowly nodded her head while retaining her silence.
It’s true.
Foreseen, but she has not acted until now.
She was extremely reluctant to intervene because she blindly valued balance. It was the words of arrogant judgment that responded to the incident with post-processing every time.
“Wouldn’t that make things a little better? Maybe I’ll give up Advent and retreat like I did back then.”
He recalled the rise of Grid, who declared the kingdom of Valua as the realm of demons and tried to descend.
It’s a very similar situation to that time.
That’s why she came up with a guess that she might give up her ambition and step back like she did back then.
“Hmm, okay.”
Is it really so
Heinkel shrugged her shoulders.
It’s different this time.
Despite Ragnar’s intervention, Grid would never let go of his lust.
“Since the one who was a disciple of the Sword Saint has returned as a substitute for the Demon God… As you have grown, your greed must have increased.”
The rough and rough but beautiful shape of the gemstone became a perfect crystal and radiated existence.
Overwhelming growth and training.
It produced the result of inciting lust.
If the old Yushin Gilead was ‘an existence I want to own even if it means sacrificing’, the current Yushin Gilead is like ‘an existence I want to own even if it costs me my life’.
He risked his life in an infinite lust.
That’s why he took the worst gamble of breaking the oath.
The lust never stops.
It will be repeated forever until you achieve what you want.
There is only one way to stop him…
It was just a matter of cutting off a suffocating breath.
* * *
The Oath of the Elves and the Oath of the Demons collided.
The result is the same number.
The winners and losers were not decided and it was delayed.
Light purple swordsmanship and jet-black flames caused destruction like a cataclysm. But even so, the sword and the flames continued taut without taking each other’s lives.
“Have you exhausted your strength already? Keep running. I am still alive Until life ends… ! I will bite you without mercy!!”
El Cid shouted in an angry voice.
Scattered hair.
Tattered outerwear and dripping blood.
Like a beast tamed in battle, it fiercely glared at its rival. It was a wild fighting spirit unlike her that always showed only aloofness that seemed to be cut off from her world.
“Grid!!”
I won’t let you go
I will never lose you
As long as life is attached…
No, even if it means losing your life.
Her sharp blade will continue to aim at you.
Even though her whole body was in a tattered state, she did not bend her will until the end. On the contrary, the more he was cornered, the more he burned his fighting spirit and offset Grid’s attacks several times.
-It’s like a weak dog barking ferociously.
Heartless light purple eyes with resolute fighting spirit.
The monster, who had been watching him, replied with an arrogant sneer. The desire to annihilate all the elves and occupy Gilead without fail seemed to overflow.
Shit.
So-so-so-.
The moment you finish talking,
The sharp horns swayed.
A loud roar rang out.
Explosives for demolition reminded me of the sound of high-rise buildings collapsing all at once.
“So… How does it feel to be bitten by a weak dog?”
-Damn it bitch!!
The pride that had been rising with a huge horn was doomed to the sea water. The one-horned monster glared at the questioning elf and burned its murderous intent.
As evidenced by him,
Murderous intentions gathered to form a flame.
It burned as if a fire had been thrown into a space filled with volatile toxic gas. The area where the flames suddenly spread was the giant wings of Grid that covered the sky.
Rurrrr.
The fire spread.
As if trying to cover the sky.
Is the end about to come?
The jet-black flames that repeatedly punished the ground finally covered even the sky. Every time the huge wings flapped violently, the flames flew dizzyingly.
-This is the final punishment given to you! Watch the end of the bugs dying in the blazing fire!
The monster declared.
At the same time, it spread out its huge wings.
Yet,
The punishment of the black flames took control of the sky.
Papabababang!!
PABABABABABABABAN——!!
It is never an absurd metaphor.
The flames that had been burning fiercely were dispersed into numerous pits of fire, like shotguns spreading out. The fireballs that were divided into many branches were scattered in all directions at once.
The target was not El Cid.
It was the Liberia Peninsula.
The fireballs, scattered on all sides, were targeting all over the Liberia peninsula.
“Griduuuuu!!!”
The elf, who was confronting the giant monster, raised the tip of his sword, venting his anger at the brutal atrocities.
Must be kept
From the flames of lust.
I had to protect all my compatriots without exception.
That’s why, while holding onto the hilt of the sword, El focused on the trajectory of the fireballs scattered in all directions. It was to cut all the flames that started the bombardment before they eventually fell to the ground.
Reckless.
It may be impossible.
But somehow you have to do it.
‘The number of fire pieces is approximately 15,000… If even one of them falls to the ground, a catastrophe will occur. I have to stop it somehow.’
Raised the tip of the knife.
The light purple radiance shone brilliantly like the dawn that illuminates the dawn.
There is no hesitation.
He only focused on swordsmanship to save his compatriots.
The blades that emitted brilliance scattered like a haze. It was a phenomenon that occurred when the speed of the sword broke through the speed of sound in an instant.
“… Whoops!”
Swung
At an invisible speed.
Starting with a single strike, the chain continued, and the slashes soared into the sky. Oddly enough, no sound came out even though he kept swinging his sword.
Sword of the Absolute.
The blade of martial arts built up over hundreds of years.
The slash that started the chase flew without hesitation and cut through the fire. The fireball cut by the sword was extinguished with a flash without leaving even a small ember.
Kwaaang-.
I will keep
I will definitely protect everyone.
The more the explosion sounded, the more determined the will resonated.
