Half a month later

A renovated chapel and an underground martial arts training ground.

While! Dangdang!

The Black Howling Dragon holding the [Authentic Sword] was training with the [Six Swords Divine Might], and the weapons of the two collided together, making a soft sound.

Eight knives in a flash!

The black howling dragon turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the [Six Swords Divine Might], and the long knife in his hand stabbed out continuously.

Dangdang!

The Black Howling Dragon's wind-like attack was parried by all opponents, relying only on the inferior iron sword in his hand.

"Hmm~ continue?" Black Xiaolong looked at the panting [Six Swords Divine Power] in front of him and asked. "Or is it the end of it?"

"Let's stop there." [Six Swords Divine Might] said. "I don't feel like my swordsmanship has improved at all..."

"It looks like we've really reached a bottleneck that's hard to break through..."

"The cafeteria is open, if you don't want to miss the time and go out to make a fortune or something, it's best to go now..."

"What? So fast? ”

As a swordsman with a [Poverty Oath], he can't touch money and overvalued things in his life, and he usually relies on his own fate for meals, and recently he relies on free meals in the cafeteria.

So, lately, he's been on time for dinner...

Looking at the [Six Swords Divine Might] trotting to the cafeteria upstairs, the Black Howling Dragon once again fell into deep thought.

After some hard work or something, the problem of money has been solved, and in this half a month, it can be regarded as letting the subordinates go through the run-in period or something...

Hideyoshi is in charge of the common people, while the Black Howling Dragon is in charge of the more powerful ones.

Black Howling Dragon's countermeasures against the three swordsmanship masters are... Only two, to be precise ...

[Amtrak Yongte] is still lying in bed, coughing up blood while hanging the infusion bottle...

For the [Six Swords Divine Power], as the strongest in the Black Howling Dragon team, there is no doubt about the strength, and in terms of swordsmanship, the Black Howling Dragon is also willing to bow down.

However, as mentioned before, he has entered a bottleneck, and the solution he discussed with Black Howling Dragon is also very simple.

Dragon-slayer

Find a dragon or a powerful wurm and have it fight against the [Six Swords Divine Might] to further refine and sublimate his sword skills.

However, in this world, the known dragon of the Black Howling Dragon is probably one...

Therefore, secretly he and Hideyoshi began to discuss to see if they could exploit the loophole of the [Six Swords Divine Might] oath and increase his strength through external objects.

In addition, it is his junior sister [Blood Mercy], this little girl's oath and his personality make her very unsuitable for the battlefield, after all, the number of villains who have not mended the sword in the past generations can circle the earth three times...

Therefore, for the time being, the Black Howling Dragon does not plan to let it go to the battlefield or anything

"Headache~"

Dididi~

At this time, the communicator sounded, and Hideyoshi appeared on the screen

"What's the matter?"

"Then the Holy Land sent you a task~" Hideyoshi said lazily. "I'll send it to you now."

"It's hard work~" Black Howling Dragon said. "By the way, have you thought about the actual combat training over there?"

"No," Hideyoshi shook his head. "It is a matter of personality to use modern weapons against all kinds of monsters, alien races, and supernatural beings."

"Not to mention that most of the weapons of human beings have been manufactured and invented for the purpose of infighting since ancient times, and for some humanoid or even non-human existences, it is estimated that there may be a completely useless situation..."

"What is too weak will not achieve the goal, and what is too strong may lead to total destruction, plus..."

"As you said, there are some problems left by the [Holy Land] on purpose, and we can't touch them..."

"Annoying~"

“．．． Actually, this mission sent to me by the Holy Land is suitable for you. ”

"Huh?"

"According to the mission description, the things in that place are estimated to be ten to twenty naturally occurring human zombies, as well as a handful of low-level banshees, and even in the worst case, there are probably only some large lizardman zombies..."

"Wait, where did the lizardmen come from?"

"How do I know~" The Black Howling Dragon shrugged. "If you go to complete the mission, just bring some blunt weapons, replace your guns with shotguns and submachine guns, and the bullets are silver-plated and soaked in ordinary holy water~"

"As long as you command no problem, no one dies, no injury is not much of a problem~"

"You can give me a boost," Hideyoshi said. I did your job, what are you doing? ”

"Complete your private work~" Black Howling Dragon said. "And..."

"I found something very interesting~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three days later - an abrupt clearing in the eastern part of the city

On the originally empty ground, when the time reached twelve o'clock in the morning, a huge castle building suddenly appeared.

"It really exists." [Six Swords Divine Might] looked at the castle that suddenly appeared in front of him. "[Castle of Chaotic Time and Space], that's what you said, right?"

"At twelve o'clock in the morning, there's a chance that a castle will appear here." Black Howling Dragon said. "Don't go in, because you don't know if you'll be able to come out after you're in..."

"The reason is that the spatial structure of this castle is chaotic, and when you walk in, you are equivalent to being randomly teleported, maybe somewhere in the castle, or maybe in some other plane connected here..."

"Of course, there is also the possibility that something will run out~"

As he spoke, the Black Whistling Dragon pointed to a few Goblin that had come out of a small door on the left side of the castle.

"Wouldn't that be something dangerous?"

"Theoretically, but—" The Black Whistling Dragon shrugged. Let's not talk about the size of the space, generally powerful beings will have their own territory and subordinates, and they will not run around..."

"However, there is something else in everything, isn't it~"

Rumble!

The castle's large, dilapidated wooden door was slammed open, and a blue hydra roared out.

"It's...!" (Six Swords Kamui)

"Holy?" (Black Howling Dragon)

Faced with the onrushing hydra lizard, the two dodge in either direction, while it charges all the way forward, destroying everything in its path.

"Hmm... Why did a hydra lizard rush out? "The Black Howling Dragon is a little confused." How could such a giant monster that usually lives near the water rush out of it? ”

At this moment, the hydra lizard that had rushed over its head had turned back and stared at the two of them with six heads.

"I'll leave this to you to practice~" The black whistling dragon ignored the big snake in front of him and turned around and walked towards the castle. "I'll go inside and take out the entrusted things~"

"You..."

"Don't worry, since I dare to go in, I will definitely have the ability to come out~" Black Xiaolong said. "You just stand guard here, I guess it's going to be very lively here today~"

Watching the black whistling dragon leave, the raging hydra lizard roared and tried to catch up, but was forced to stop by a sharp sword light.

"Although the poor Dao is trained as the [Dragon Slaying Sword], I think it will be no problem against a huge hydra."

Roar!

With a loud roar, the hydra lizard rushed towards the [Six Divine Might].

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Interior of the castle

After making a great circle, the black whistling dragon came to the square inside the castle and looked up at the tallest minaret.

"It's been a while~[Amidara]~"

In the dim moonlight, the phantom of a monster appeared on the spire, and slowly approached the black whistling dragon.

Amidara, the Overseer of Dreams, one of the Old Gods of the Bloodline World.

That's right, this is another connection point with the dream realm, and because of this, the black whistling dragon has not walked into some other connected world along the way.

The moon, guiding him (not)

Due to the peculiarity of the dream world, it is not a fixed shape, but more like plasticine, which makes it easy to connect with other worlds.

That's true in Azeroth, and it's true here.

As a Black Howling Dragon that has a deal with the Old Gods of the Dream World, he can face those monsters at will without being attacked.

And what he needs to do is to bring the right heirs to the ancient gods in the dream realm, and manage those accidentally linked worlds - the [Moon Elf] doesn't want anything strange to run into the dream realm.

"Is the dead child still alive?"

Hearing this, [Amidara] gradually shrank back again, and at the same time the bell rang out of nowhere.

Jingle bell~

I saw a tall figure wearing a tattered hood, a hood, and an iron cage slowly walking out of an alley.

He walked up to the Black Howling Dragon and lowered the iron cage.

Among them was a bloodless young man.

"Nothing strange got on him, did it?" Black Howling Dragon looked at the unconscious young man in front of him and said.

And to this, the cloaked man shook his head...

"Okay~Looks like nothing else~"

Black Howling Dragon picked up the person in front of him and turned around to leave, but was stopped by a man in a cloak.

"Need... Need... New... Target... Carrier... Heirs..."

"Not now~ Are you the eighty or ninety warriors here a cabbage?" Black Howling Dragon said. "Moreover, even if it is an eighty or ninety rank warrior, it may not be able to be a suitable carrier..."

"The guy who gave it to the [Moon Elf] last time almost exploded."

"Need... Need... Heir... Carrier... They..."

"I know, but please be patient, thousands of years have passed, are there still a few years left?"

“．．． No... Forget... Remember... Trade... Unfamiliar... Raw..."

"Stay tuned~"

．．．．．．

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside the castle

The corpse of the huge hydra lizard fell to the ground, along with a manticore lion and three dire wolves.

"Wow! So much? ”

"There were some small aliens, but when they saw the pile of corpses, they ran back." [Six Swords Kamui] sat on a stone, two swords stuck in the ground, panting. "It feels like fighting my father for three hours..."

"To be honest, the [Four Swords Divine Power] is in full swing. Leave no room to fight with you, can you last three hours? ”

“．．． Maybe an hour? ”

"Go back, the man has been found." The black whistling dragon said as he carried the man. "One million in hand~"

"Bounty hunters or something, are they all so profitable?"

"Look at people, not all of them are so profitable." Black Howling Dragon said. "Sometimes it's just just a good way to get back to basics~"

[Six Swords Divine Might] stood up, withdrew the sword inserted on the ground, and followed behind the Black Howling Dragon.

At this time, behind them, the castle gradually faded, and at the same time, the figure of [Amidala] became clear for that moment, and those strange eyes looked at the two who were leaving.

"Huh?"

[Six Swords Divine Might] turned to look at the tall tower in the vanishing castle,

Nothing...

“．．． Delusion? ”

That's right, it's an illusion...

For those who don't know that dreams exist, those existences are illusions...

Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing...
