Is there any need to explain what happened after that?

With the old king who opposed the war gone, the Demon King was able to prepare for war without much interference.

It wasn’t that there was no noise, but his sword, swung at the static, soon brought silence.

And he forged a sword of war to destroy humanity. He supervised the training of his army himself, trained other kings under his command to improve their skills, and inspected their weapons and food.

And after finishing them, he quietly looked in the direction of the empire and swung his sword. He swung his sword until he collapsed from exhaustion, howling like an animal.

“… Pathetic person.”

That was my assessment. There is nothing to be gained by holding on to the dead and crying. The only time death has meaning is when you gain something from it.

Just like the Dragon King’s heart that I just took out of my body. The Dragon King’s heart, which emits a truly beautiful colored light, has made me invincible.

Neither fire, nor steel, nor lightning, nor cold, nor magic could hurt me. The crystallization of the sublime power that the old king had built up. The only one who could hurt me was the Demon King who could cut down even the concept. I tried to attack him as a test, but

This power will definitely help me feel ‘something’.

The small fragment that the old king had given me was incomparable to the great power. If I had this power, I could enjoy all the games in the world. If I could do that, I thought I could also find the ‘something’ I was searching for.

“You who killed my king because you were blinded by greed. The devil is calling you.”

“You’re calling me by a really long nickname instead of my name.”

“There is no name to call an ungrateful beast. Do you expect to be called by that name after killing the one who gave it to you with your own hands?”

“Excuse me. The throne, the heart of the Dragon King, and the name he gave me are all mine now?”

“That foolish greed will strangle you one day. You will never get what you want.”

It was a terrible curse.

The man who cursed me was called the King of Ghosts, but to put it simply, he was nothing more than a corpse who had been denied death.

A moving corpse that simply exists, its entire body hidden in armor that exudes an ominous aura. I wasn’t interested in these moving dolls at all.

That’s why I couldn’t tolerate a doll saying something like that to me.

“… Now that I think about it, I have something I want to ask.”

That’s why I tried to tease you a little.

“Can you call a king without people a king? A king who has lost all his people and yet shamelessly lives on? Don’t you feel ashamed? If it were me, I would have just committed suicide.”

Of course, this was a lie. I was confident that I would survive even if all the other dragons died.

“Ah, you can’t do that? How did it feel? After losing all your people, trying to take your own life but not being able to, that miserable feeling…”

“Behave like a king, my queen. Such provocations that are so obvious. They are too frivolous for a king to contain.”

“No matter what I say, I am a queen. As long as this heart shines inside me.”

“… Does that mean that heart is lending you strength?”

“Yes. This is something I personally took…”

“There must be a limit to the love that comes down. You are no different from the Demon King. The love that has eaten away at your heart has blinded you. You wise yet foolish dragon.”

I ignored it because it was an unknown sound.

“My Queen. Although I don’t have the gift of seeing the future, let me make a prediction for you.”

“If you’re going to talk nonsense…”

“You will die more miserably than anyone else in this world.”

“…… Shut up. Before I kill you.”

“I hope you do that.”

There were just so many things that really annoyed me.

If I had known this would happen, I would have enjoyed fighting the old king instead. There were only two beings who could fight on equal terms with me.

A corpse that only gives boring sermons, and a demon king who is swayed by an unknown trash called love.

They were all truly pathetic.

After several years, the Demon King, having completed all preparations, invaded the empire.

The empire also fought back with its allies and tributary states, but it was like throwing an egg at a rock.

With one swing of the Demon King’s sword, mountains split, villages became pools of blood, and castle walls split like sheets of paper.

It was boring. I didn’t kill the old king just to fight these things. I killed the old king to have a little more fun, I killed the old king because I wanted to feel something, I killed the old king for the unknown something I had been hoping for.

There was no one who gave me as much fun as fighting the old king.

The prince of the fire-wielding humans rushed at me. But the flames could not inflict any damage on my body.

The blue-haired girl who was handling lightning also rushed in. However, the lightning was unable to inflict any damage on my body.

The girl in charge of the Empire’s strategy also rushed in. The swordsmanship and magic could only slightly scratch the scales, but that was it.

A blonde girl who could handle all sorts of weapons also rushed at me to kill me. Her skill in handling so many weapons to the limit was amazing, but that was all.

“… I’m disappointed. I didn’t kill the old king for this.”

I didn’t even feel it was worth killing. So I just took their stuff and kicked them out to kill time. Of course, I didn’t feel any fun in it.

I didn’t want to fight. Everything was so annoying that I just wanted to throw everything away and take a nap. But if I did that, the Demon King would definitely kill me. I would die with my throat cut without feeling any pain. I would die miserably and heartlessly without feeling what I wanted.

I didn’t like that. That’s why I followed the order. I didn’t want to die for nothing.

It was a story of a very ordinary and boring day when I spread my wings to destroy one of the empire’s fortresses under the orders of the Demon King.

I saw a man who was somewhere between a boy and a young man. He wanted to personally bury the people I had killed. Just a little bit, just a little bit, but I was interested.

How could he dig someone else’s grave when his own life might be in danger? He didn’t seem to realize that his foolish actions were actually digging his own grave.

So I immediately descended and checked the face.

She was beautiful. She was much more beautiful than me. She looked like a mixture of a beautiful woman and a handsome man, a combination of the best qualities of both men and women.

“I’ll ask.”

He wasn’t the least bit scared, and after looking back and forth between me and the corpses, he asked in a cold voice:

“Are these the things you did?”

“If that’s the case, what will change?”

“Yeah.”

He slowly approached me.

“From now on, I will recognize you as my enemy.”

“That’s funny. I don’t mind that kind of bluff at all. So what’s your weapon? Wind? Cold? Poison? Light? ”

“…… Poor talent.”

No matter how much you bluffed, I could see it all.

The fact that the muscles under the skin are trembling.

It must be a show of bluffing to live in fear that makes your whole body tremble.

So, my motto was to shatter those expectations. After taking a hit that wouldn’t hurt or itch, I planned to completely crush those hopes.

“You better take out that weapon…”

“Already taken out.”

“Huh? What is that…”

My brain screamed.

A sensation I had never felt before stimulated my whole body intensely.

He hit me on the jaw and temple at the same time.

Aside from the fact that I had no qualms about hitting a lady, I had no idea that a simple blow could damage me.

“… Indeed.”

Once I tried it, I was able to understand the principle.

This feeling that my brain is still ringing.

“It’s a vibration. I can’t believe I hit a lady’s chin and temple with a hand that carries strong vibrations. Is there no etiquette for a gentleman to show to a demon?”

“That strangely strong body. You must be the queen of dragons that my friends were talking about. It would be best to kill you here and now.”

“I’m surprised. I never thought a human could harm me. I’m really touched. And I’m glad. The old king’s death was not in vain.”

“When I gather the comments from my friends, you are a unique being who ignores most attacks. However, my attacks seem to work. In that case, it would be best for me to deal with you.”

I was just happy that the death of the king who sacrificed himself for my pleasure was not in vain.

By the way, what was that ecstatic feeling? That sharp stimulation I felt the moment I was hit, regardless of the damage.

“Let me tell you a little story…”

“It’s noisy.”

He cut the bridge of my nose with the blade of his hand, then struck my ribs with his knee.

“I have a question for you…”

“I want to bury you too. In this land.”

He grabbed me by the neck and punched me in the lower abdomen.

The blood in my whole body boiled. My heart that had stopped beating seemed to start beating again. Something sharp and unknown spread through my whole body.

okay.

This is pain.

This is pain.

“Could you at least teach me about yourself?”

“Raoul Bergé. If only I knew the name of the person who would kill you.”

As he said that, he punched me in the stomach and right chest again.

Something snapped and snapped, and a hot, sharp pain spread through me. My whole body seemed to scream, and the scream was nothing but a cheer.

My lower abdomen grew hot and something slimy flowed down between my legs.

“Ahh…”

I could sense it intuitively.

This is love. This is the love the old king spoke of.
