There are over a thousand people there. But no one dared to open their mouths.

He was afraid that if he raised his voice, Akasha, who wasn’t even here, would catch him.

Of course, Akasha is not here now. It was just an instinctive fear taking over my head.

Objectively speaking, it was a foolish action, but in the end, it was the right action.

The sky suddenly darkened. Something large enough to block the sunlight shining on the area appeared.

Everyone who looked up at the sky cautiously at the sudden solar eclipse phenomenon did not want to believe what they saw reflected in their eyes.

“Yuglan was desperately calling my name, so I came quickly, and something interesting was happening.”

A dark blue dragon came down to the ground leisurely. He soon transformed into a human with sky blue eyes.

“Akasha…!”

Someone mutters Akasha’s name as if talking to themselves. Akasha raised her right hand and flicked the air with her index and middle fingers.

A very simple hand gesture. With that movement, the head of the soldier who had spoken Akasha’s name bids farewell to the body.

Push!

Blood pouring out like a fountain from the cut surface. Someone could have screamed, but unrealistically, no one made a sound.

This is because the shock of my colleague’s death was not enough to move my frozen body in the face of the fear that was right in front of me.

“It’s noisy. Just because you know my name doesn’t give you permission to say it.”

A situation where someone was killed just for calling their name. It was a reason that could never be understood, but everyone had to understand that the person in front of them was Akasha.

And while everyone was shaking in fear, Asha sighed inwardly.

‘A dragon. No matter how long it has been since you left on your trip, you can’t believe it’s a dragon…’

I met the two dogs that Eugene and Arjen had told me to watch out for on the same day. Although the majority of the human group was on Asha’s side, I could tell that the situation was like this.

‘There’s no comparison….’

In front of the overwhelming majesty of a single dragon, it seemed meaningless whether a thousand or ten thousand humans gathered together. It is an obvious fact.

The reason Eugene told people to be careful was because, as the master of civilization, he was responsible for ensuring Asha and Adele’s smooth travel.

If you pretend to be human, you won’t be able to do proper activities in most cities, making proper travel impossible.

On the other hand, the reason Arjen told us to be careful of dragons was simply because Asha and Adele could die.

Asha’s head was already aching as to how she should deal with the dragon in front of her, and in terms of strength, she was at the top among dragons.

‘Damn, should I run away?’

It was impossible. Asha knew best that she could not run away from the being in front of her at this distance.

In the first place, when playing tag with Arjen, Asha was caught from a much greater distance than this.

‘What are you thinking so hard about?’

‘Adele?’

Asha was startled when she saw Adele returning to her side.

As twins, they were able to communicate their opinions to each other telepathically without having to talk. It was an additional effect of Arjen’s bloodline ability, ‘Corridor of Memories’.

Since both Akasha and Argen’s only siblings have died, only Asha and Adele can now use this ability.

‘When did you come?’

‘I came right away because the tree was all burned down. As soon as I did that, that guy came and my heart sank.’

‘I almost got into big trouble.’

If Adel had continued to hold on to Yuglan’s body, the first to die when Akasha appears might have been Adel, not the nameless human soldier.

Like Asha, Adele didn’t even open her mouth, probably because she realized the difference in rank as soon as she saw Akasha.

‘Anyway, unless that guy acts on a whim, I think they’re all dead. what do you think about it?’

‘I know very well. ‘I’m trying to find a way to survive right now, so don’t do anything stupid and act scared.’

From the beginning, Asha did not stop pretending to tremble like the others around her in order to avoid attracting attention. Adele, who saw that, also belatedly looked very frightened.

“Now… what should I do… I never thought that even if there were so many bugs gathered, it would be possible to make Yuglans in this shape. This is my mistake.”

‘That strange man, in the meantime, he is also questioning his own faults.’

‘My mom said that’s the general way of thinking of dragons.’

‘Am I going to end up like that later? ‘I really don’t like it.’

Akasha took a look around. Instead of countless living things, his eyes were fixed on one white bone.

“Oh, there is a soul over there that has almost passed into my possession.”

What he saw was the corpse of Loreius, a necromancer whose life was taken away by Yuglan’s magic. By Yuglan’s scheme, his soul had already been mortgaged to Akasha without him knowing, and even though he had become a corpse, his soul was still staying.

Akasha quickly snatched Loreius’ soul. He gently grasped his soul, worried that it might fly away, and looked at the blackened Yuglan.

“Okay. It’s your fault that you’re still holding on to your meager life, Yuglan. I will reward you for not dying as I please.”

With that said, Akasha, who had injected Yuglan with the soul she had just obtained, smiled at the still crowded human army.

“Now. Fight again, humans. If you kill Yuglan again this time, I promise that I will not harm any humans here from now on and will send them back.”

Dragon’s oath. When something that could never be a lie or a lie came out, people were able to move their fingers and toes one by one.

Although Akasha did not use vulgar language, no one doubted Akasha’s true intentions, and Akasha also had no intention of breaking her promise.

When everyone put all their strength into the hands holding their weapons, Yuglan’s body, which had completely absorbed the soul received from Akasha, returned to its original state.

“……Master. Sorry.”

Yuglan, who had fully recovered, knelt down to Akasha and sincerely asked for forgiveness, rather than becoming angry at the human who had driven him to the brink of being burned to death.

“I behaved in this disgraceful manner because I lacked the strength I had. Since the master himself is coming out of the rare, there is no excuse for killing me right now.”

“Arthur Yuglan. I just brought you back to life with great difficulty. Will I be able to kill you? Thanks to you, I actually experienced two joys.”

Although he was not prepared and the timing was not as intended, he realized that he could destroy the World Tree. For Akasha, it was an unexpected harvest.

Of course, there was something else that Akasha was really happy about.

“I am so touched that you called my name. Wow, it’s Akasha… Why don’t you call me one more time?”

“Well, we will make sure something like that never happens again.”

“Uh huh. Then it won’t work. In the first place, I came running after hearing your voice calling my name.”

A warm atmosphere appeared out of nowhere, but no one could pour cold water on the situation. Even if her life was guaranteed for a while through the contract, there was no one who would bother to intervene and make Akasha feel uncomfortable.

Skin!

The ones who actually broke the pain were the elves who returned after suppressing the trees containing demonic energy.

“Hmm?”

Akasha, who saw numerous arrows rushing towards Yuglan, deflected all the arrows with defensive magic and then looked at the elves.

“Hehehe, Prinia’s minions have also arrived.”

“Akasha…! If you dare to conspire with the demon world, I swear to our God that you will be punished!”

Akasha immediately blew off the head of the elf who uttered those words.

“Gasp!”

“Ianne…!”

Akasha ignored the agitated elves and mocked Prinia.

“Talk as much as you want. Even Prinia, whom you have no doubt about, I will definitely bring you extreme pain.”

“Yes, a guy like you can really do that…”

“Do not doubt. We are already on our way after tearing down a world tree.”

Akasha said this out loud. This was a passage that revealed his twisted personality. Sure enough, the expressions on the elves’ faces hardened after hearing those words come as if from the blue.

“Ah… I’m getting feverish again. When I think about how much I suffered from that bitch Prinia, I don’t think it would be a good idea to stop those elf bitches a long time ago.”

This was impossible for Akasha, who had to keep an eye on the World Tree and, by extension, Prinia. But now there is no need to pay attention to that.

“I decided. All elves alive in the underworld are executed. First, let me send you to Prinia.”

Although Akasha was capable of killing elves with just a wave of her hand, she deliberately used magic with great care. It was fire magic.

Yuglan looked thrilled at his actions, which seemed to blatantly seek revenge on Yuglan.

And the faces of the humans hardened again as they looked at the elves who had been instantly reduced to ashes. Akasha looked at that and laughed again.

“Ah. Rest assured. Because I have no intention of breaking the promise. Um…yeah. Aren’t ‘elves’ not ‘humans’? Right?”

Regardless of whether it was true or not, no one nodded.
