Arselphia.

His prestige is truly endless, but the most outstanding nickname for him is the Usurper of the Sky.

I remember it was something like that, but in any case, he showed an outstanding performance worthy of such a title.

Every time he used his ability, the earth shook and the sky shook violently.

He was literally the ruler of the sky, and he was worthy of being said to have taken that authority from God, but his opponent was Adele.

One of the greatest dragon lords in history, a major figure, and one who can also be called the apostle of the evil god.

Although it is a half-dragon, it is a dragon more powerful than any pureblood, and is strong enough to guarantee its survival even if it fights me.

Yes, it was my arrogance that led me to judge her so poorly.

It’s just that I thought they were the people I had to protect.

[Hehehe, kid. I guess I should take back everything I said about hybrids!]

Arselphia seemed to be having a lot of fun with this situation.

Resonating with his emotions, the constant thunder and the heavy, calming air pierced my sixth sense.

Everyone was just watching in fascination in the overwhelming atmosphere.

Black clouds filled the surrounding area, so it would be hard to see the inside if it weren’t for me, but the inside could be seen occasionally due to the thunder.

The sight was so overwhelming that everyone was probably just mesmerized without even thinking about it.

‘Of course, it’s more overwhelming inside.’

When Adele fired her breath in the form of a dragon, Arselphia simply blocked the attack and gnawed at her.

Sometimes it attacked with lightning, oppressing space, and other times it filled with dark clouds and blocked vision.

If someone saw this, they would think Adele was at a disadvantage, but I thought differently.

This was because none of the attacks were able to deliver a proper hit to Adele.

The thunder barely made a single scratch on her body, she was able to lightly avoid and ignore the things that weighed down space, and she was able to see through things like dark clouds with her sixth sense.

However, on the contrary, she was consistently giving Arselphia a hard hit.

This was because her breath, which was extremely rare, ignored all the magic he unleashed and attacked.

And that was her talent and ability that I had not guessed.

Somehow, my defense shield melted too easily.

“Have you been out on the subject of a senile old man for too long? I guess I’ll be fine living like an old man in the back room for the rest of my life now!”

[Phew, kid. Did you call that a provocation?]

…Of course, I don’t know where Adele learned such bad words.

I don’t even want to know.

…I must find out who the person with the worst speaking habits in the evil religion is.

I need to separate the limbs or something.

Storms, flames, wind, and the sky intertwined, and a long fight ensued, and Adele ended up biting off Arselphia’s neck.

His flesh entered Adele’s mouth, and his blood drenched the Kingdom of Dehart.

[Kuh, keuhuh… I was raising a monster again…]

He slowly closed his increasingly blurry eyes and continued speaking.

[But I fight with them, in the rainy season, I’m too weak…]

I was spewing out words that I couldn’t understand properly, and soon all the life left my body.

The flame that was his life died out, and the giant dragon fell steadily downward, unable to maintain its last strength.

The huge storm that shrouded Adele and Arselphia subsided, and the winds that had been blowing around like a typhoon soon calmed down.

A dragon that literally changes nature just by being alive, worthy of his great name.

And in such an overwhelming scene, the only sane person was Therasia, who was reaching for his corpse.

“Evil God, I won!”

“Yes, you are great.”

I said that and looked around.

Surprisingly, Adele did not mention him after those words, as if she were showing respect to the strong.

Therasia collected various materials and hard-to-obtain items in an unexpected situation as if it were natural.

In this way, his mountain-like body was completely destroyed, and only the ground soaked with his blood became the final evidence that he was here.

“Okay, let’s keep going.”

His last words really bothered me, but there was no need to constantly worry about what to do with it.

Basically, if your body is good, your head will not suffer. If you have overwhelming strength and body, there is no need to put your head through suffering.

What if we face the ancient race again later, or if someone stronger than them appears?

Well, I have to cut everything from my line.

“Father, we have arrived.”

It had a very different atmosphere than when I arrived by airship.

“It seems you guys were right.”

I said while stroking the spirits.

The information the spirits brought included information about the rebels and that they were friendly to our evil religion.

And looking at the current atmosphere, at least the ordinary people did not have such a negative attitude towards us.

“This is surprising. The Kingdom of Decarson is not a famous tyrant, but they welcome us who came to destroy the kingdom.”

“Hmm…Abel, do you remember that when you summoned me, a huge sacrifice was made?”

Blood flowed like a river, and corpses piled up like a mountain.

Yes, an ancient race. They are a crazy race that ruled over a continent that was one in ancient times and eventually divided it.

They wouldn’t have paid anything.

“Hmm… Still, if you see that the number of people is not that small, it seems like they summoned you out of fear or something like that.”

Otherwise, there would be no reason to welcome those of us who appeared by destroying even private houses.

As I said that, I went inside.

Although it was a huge army, there was no one blocking our path.

There were people throwing stones from time to time, but on the other hand, there were also people throwing flowers from time to time.

Is it right to say that it is a welcome sign, since the relationship is at war with each other?

The emotions clearly visible on their faces made me wonder what happened here.

“This is the first time something like this has happened.”

“Let’s go in first.”

He confidently climbed over the wall and entered the castle without killing anyone.

No one could properly block us, and at least no one, not even the knight, came out and blocked our path.

No…I couldn’t feel any signs even inside the castle.

“…It looks like most things were included as an offering.”

“Marie, what do you think nature says?”

“…It looks like a sacrificial ritual was held here. Among the sacrifices…are knights and people. It looks like the number of people has decreased significantly compared to before.”

“Yes, I see.”

I just don’t remember exactly, but it seemed like the people had decreased a lot.

That’s why it had a darker and more gloomy atmosphere than before.

It was true that they did not stop us and that they could not stop us.

“Now, let us, as members of the church, stop the tyrant.”

Of course, we were the most tyrants, but with that justification, we moved forward.

They took the lives of the people and used the knights who followed them as sacrifices to bring back to this place the tribes that had been extinct in ancient times, those who had suffered devastating damage that was close to extinction.

As members of the church, let us teach them the appropriate punishment for their sins.

“Hehehe, you came all the way here.”

I walked slowly.

As I walked inside, I soon saw the old king sitting on the throne and raising his head.

It was not a shame to see him as a madman.

“Puh-huh, it seems even the greedy dragon that was so arrogant and wanted so many sacrifices couldn’t stop you.”

“Did you think you could do it?”

“I thought it was absolutely impossible. That arrogant person wouldn’t have been able to stop God.”

But that wouldn’t have been the least bit of struggle.

He moved his old and tired body, exhaled as if he was about to collapse, and grabbed the sword lying next to him.

As if he was about to die at any moment, like a patient taking his last breath.

Even though I was so tired and moved as if I was going to collapse, I walked forward languidly.

“You lost this game. I met her.”

What does it mean?

When I frowned, he chuckled and then his old body collapsed.

It was a pretty unpleasant sight, and it did not fit the name war.

“This…is a poison. Teacher, this is a poison that should never be released into the world in the first place with today’s technology…no, it’s a poison.”

“Do you know anything?”

“This…is a work that goes beyond my ultimate goal. It was probably only possible for those who existed in ancient times.”

The king’s skin was not dead, and anyone could see that it looked as if he had died from exhaustion, but Therasia said it was poison.

It must have existed in ancient times.

Now that there is nothing to do, only things related to ancient times pop up.

“Ouch, evil spirit. Isn’t it strange? You can’t get this kind of poison anywhere, not even in the slums. They said it was made only in ancient times. And…how can the king come from an ancient race whose records have now disappeared, and which he had never even heard of in the first place? “Do you know the summoning technique?”

“…There’s something behind me.”

“It seems like there are some crazy people behind it.”

My head hurt.

My head hurt enough to know about Damian’s plan, but now I have to think about ancient races as well.

It was also strange that he definitely knew how to summon them.

And I was also concerned about what Arselphia said before she died.

“…Abel, don’t leave the outcome of the war up to you. The war is over, so let’s all return.”

It was a vain return, with nothing properly gained or a war fought.
