“…… I smell the dark...... Is this it......"

The man with dark patterns all over his body broke the silence of this snowy world with a hoarse tone, and then locked on to the girl not far in front of him with a malicious downward gaze. Ｘ

As the dragon king who can easily dominate the world, he has only one purpose left in the long course of time.

That is to destroy everything.

It's just that while enjoying the process, there is one more thing that can catch his attention.

It's called 'Dark' concoction.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

Can't win, that's not a monster that humans can compete with.

By the time this inconclusive conclusion appeared in Kildas's mind, he had accepted that it was not a joke.

Although the mysterious girl she met by chance seemed to be ready to do something, and her magical power was exaggerated, it was only within the reach of humans.

What they are now facing is the natural predator of the species.

In an uncontrollable shudder, Kildas had vaguely guessed the identity of this humanoid monster.

But even so, he had no intention of giving up the hope of 'life'.

Because in the guild, there is still 'family' waiting for him to return.

The warmth of the coat of arms on his chest spread throughout his body, and the trembling of his clenched fists stopped.

……

（…… The magic has actually increased? What an amazing guy...... Did you overcome the fear of death and push your limits...... ）

Sending heartfelt praise in her heart, the brown-haired girl who felt the change in her aura behind her was also happy that such a reliable member of her guild had appeared.

Zela admits that after the breakthrough of the battle, Kildas definitely has a strength comparable to that of any Saint Ten except for the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

But, that's about it.

Such strength is still not enough to have an impact on the next battle.

(If you practice for a few more years, maybe Erin will find it tricky.) ）

(But now...... ）

The enemy in front of him is a black dragon named Akuno Lokia, who represents the end of life.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest in this life.

The reason why Zela didn't bring any companions here was because the numbers were meaningless, and even if Erin could cause some trouble for the black dragon, it would be just a drop in the bucket.

In addition to the strength of the black dragon itself, it is also because he has the characteristic of being able to devour all magic.

In other words, magic is useless to him except for certain attacks that have the 'Dragon Slayer' attribute.

However, having spent decades in this world, Zela now knows that this is not a 'comic story', and if there is no 'accident', the 'future' of the seven dragon slayer wizards eight years later may not be able to destroy the black dragon that can even be devoured by time and space at that time.

So through Layla, the girl befriended Anna Hatfilia, a star spirit wizard who had come to this world four hundred years ago to teach the language and culture of young dragons, and made this plan that took several years.

Because Zela knew that Akuno Lokia was particularly sensitive to the Darkness.

It's a battle to block 'itself'!

“…… Uncle...... No...... Kildas, don't meddle in the next battle, just protect yourself. ”

“…… Ha?! What are you talking about at this time, me! ”

This big man is ready to make a big fuss about it, and now he actually asks him not to interfere?

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was shocked by the girl's burst of magical energy and flew out.

"You! Damn it!! ”

This is...... Do you mean to keep him out of the way?!

Sliding backwards on the snow for some distance, Kildas, who stopped the impact, stared at the petite back.

This kind of 'humiliation' that is powerless to be protected by others, this is the first time for him......

……

*****************************************************************************************************************

"Goo, hey, hey! Is the goodbye over? ”

Savoring the 'despair' she had brought, Akuno Lokia burst out laughing arrogantly at the sight of the girl who was buying time for her companion's escape.

“…… Oh, this is really unexpected, is the Dragon King who has ended countless eras still have such a 'considerate' side? ”

Legend has it that Akuno Lokia is not at all willing to communicate with his prey, and will only use contempt and play until destruction.

"Sure enough, you know who I am."

He smelled something unusual as he flew into the snowy mountain, and with the fact that he actively emitted a dark aura to himself, it was almost certain that it was a trap.

But who is he? It is the dragon king who rules the end of this world and exists to destroy everything!

For four hundred years, there have been countless so-called strong people who have tried to crusade against him, and in the end they have all turned into ashes under the roar.

Now he is standing here in human form, just because there is the second 'darkness' in front of him besides the dark mage that can arouse his interest.

With a contempt for himself, the black dragon blew a storm of fierce fighting.

“…… Can you get me serious? ”

“…… You'll have the answer to this question in no time. ”

The sound of the pages turning in the darkness rang out.

A magical weapon with starlight appeared in the girl's hand.

Psalm of Mortal Sins Arrogance!

The invisible spiritual weight appeared on Akunolokia's body like a substance, and the karma of four hundred years of sin almost instantly crushed the earth into a dent.

"Interesting, is it spiritual magic that I haven't seen before?"

Feeling what he 'carried' was enough to break down in an instant only made Akuno Lokia smile even more furious.

"Haha!"

“！”

Laughing in response and making an upward pull gesture, the ground beneath Zela's feet glowed with a myriad of dark lights.

An explosion large enough to cause a landslide engulfed the girl's figure.

Gluttony in the Poems of Mortal Sin!

Weakening the enemy's attack effect in an instant is the ability of gluttony.

And then.

At the center of the explosion, the figure who had protected his body with magic waved the magic item in his hand.

Grave Sin Psalm Fury!

Dark magic filled Akuno Lokia's eyes, and began to glow reddish-black.

“…… Does the illusion still have a corrosive breath? Goo hahahahaha!! It's all magic I've never seen before! ”

"I see! Is this the hole card you used to challenge me Akuno Lokia?! ”

In a few breaths, Zela's ability to recognize the original sin in the first chapter was revealed, and in the four hundred years of destruction, the black dragon's battle instinct was also raised to a terrifying level.

However, this level is far from the so-called 'hole cards'......

After all, the battle of the 'inhumans' has only just begun.

……

In the snow, the Dragon King, who unleashed a terrifying attack, recklessly destroyed everything around him.

Above the sky, the girl sitting under the stars chuckled and looked up at the silver light in the clouds.
