“Brother.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t you have a feeling that the other side seems… not very peaceful?”
At the Yamar Border, the soldiers on duty were gazing toward the southern Desolate Fallen Continent.
For some reason, a strong sense of unease had arisen in his heart.
“Why do you think that?”
The old soldier took out a cigarette and prepared to light it.
“I heard that the demons seem to have taken back the Demon King’s Castle ruins and repelled all the Holy Knight Order troops stationed nearby.”
The uneasy soldier frowned.
“You tell me, why would the demons reclaim that rundown place for no reason? Something must have happened!”
“What do you think the situation is?”
The old soldier lit his cigarette, took a puff, and blew a smoke ring toward the sky.
Because the moon was covered by dark clouds, the area near the border outpost appeared quite dim.
“It must be something useful. I think there’s a high probability that… a new Demon King has been born.”
The uneasy soldier replied.
“Don’t say such unlucky things! If a new Demon King appears in the south, the demons will definitely wage war on us humans again. When that time comes, we’ll all suffer!”
The old soldier glared at the uneasy soldier.
“Then what do you say the situation is?”
“Saying a new Demon King has ascended? I heard the Desolate Fallen Continent is very chaotic. They definitely won’t be able to elect a Demon King anytime soon.”
The old soldier said confidently.
“I’m not a demon. How would I know? Anyway… I don’t think there will be a new Demon King ascending.”
The uneasy soldier pouted.
He also didn’t really hope for a new Demon King to appear. Otherwise, if the other side really started a war, these border-guarding soldiers would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Ding——
Suddenly, the alarm bell at the border outpost blared loudly.
A piercing alarm sound tore through the silent night sky.
“What’s going on?!”
The old soldier didn’t even extinguish his cigarette and hurriedly ran back to the observation room.
He discovered that the magic detector was showing a huge object approaching the border.
“What’s the situation?!”
“A huge unknown object from the south is approaching our border!!”
The captain of the border soldiers ran in and asked the old soldier nervously.
“This is bad, Captain!”
The old soldier looked up.
“A huge unknown object from the south? Could it be those demons launching an attack on the border?!”
The captain of the border soldiers had fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
This kind of situation hadn’t occurred in nearly twenty years since the war between demons and humans ended.
“Quickly lock onto the position!”
“Yes!”
The old soldier rapidly operated the detection device, emitting magic waves outward, and finally determined the position.
“In the seven o’clock direction to the south!”
“Seven o’clock direction?”
The captain of the border soldiers picked up a telescope and looked toward the seven o’clock direction.
Besides the pitch-black Yamar River, he saw nothing.
“Strange. There’s no one on the river.”
The old soldier shouted loudly to remind him.
“Captain, not below. It’s in the sky! In the sky!!”
“In the sky?”
The captain of the border soldiers looked up toward the sky.
His entire body froze in shock.
He saw a huge black shadow shuttling between the layers of clouds, clearly heading toward the direction of the Saint Luo Empire.
The human empire’s outpost at the Yamar Border was equipped with heavy defensive weapons.
“Issue the order. Fire the magic cannons. Quickly intercept it!!”
“Yes!”
The old soldier quickly relayed the order.
The soldiers guarding the border swiftly took action, loading concentrated mana crystals into the magic cannons and activating them.
The power of this weapon was astonishing.
A single shot from a magic cannon could instantly eliminate several hundred fully armed soldiers.
Ten magic cannons aimed at the sky.
After loading was complete, they fired simultaneously.
The brilliant light almost illuminated the dim sky, shooting together toward the black giant shadow.
Roar!
A world-shaking dragon roar resounded.
Immediately afterward, a breath that shook space descended like a falling meteor, completely swallowing up all the magic cannon attacks with overwhelming force.
It was unknown whether the other party was hostile.
They didn’t let the dragon breath hit the outpost but instead let it land nearby.
Ah!!
Even though there was no danger of death, the soldiers inside the outpost were still knocked unconscious by the shockwave.
They collapsed to the ground one after another, only able to watch helplessly as the black giant shadow from the south flew over the Yamar Border and entered the Saint Luo Empire.
“Land here, Albion. If we keep flying, it will be too conspicuous. The Holy Land and the empire will send people over.”
Via, standing on the back of the Abyss Dragon, said.
Albion understood Via’s words and landed on a mountain.
“Heave-ho.”
Via jumped down from the dragon’s back and landed on the ground.
“Thank you.”
“Lady Sashaya actually agreed to lend you to me temporarily.”
Via sighed with emotion.
Before setting off for the Saint Luo Empire, she had casually asked if Sashaya could let Albion accompany her.
She originally thought that such a magnificent dragon, Sashaya definitely wouldn’t be willing.
But the other party agreed very quickly.
“Albion has been thinking about going outside to play every day in the abyss. It just so happens that you’re going to the human world, so let Albion go play together.”
Sashaya had said at the time.
Thus, Albion accompanied Via to the human world.
Having a flying dragon really saved a lot of trouble.
However…
“Mm, what should I do now?”
Via looked at the enormous Albion and found it a bit difficult.
“This is really huge.”
Albion shook its head, clearly very reluctant.
“Albion, can you… go back?”
“……”
“Then can you change into another form? I can take you with me, but you need to change your appearance, like…”
Via thought for a while and came up with an example.
“Desolate Fire, come out!”
“What is it, Demon King? I was sleeping~”
Desolate Fire was summoned by Via.
“Change Albion’s form a bit.”
“Like this?”
Desolate Fire transformed from sword form into human form and demonstrated for the Abyss Dragon.
The naked girl played with her long hair and even deliberately showed off her figure to the Abyss Dragon.
“Albion, did you learn it?”
“……”
“You learned it? Then you change too.”
“~”
After Albion let out a long cry, right in front of Via, it actually transformed into human form.
From a giant dragon, it turned into a silver-haired, red-eyed loli.
Her skin was as white as snow.
Just like Desolate Fire, she stood naked in front of Via, gazing at her with watery eyes.
Her hair was very long.
Although her height wasn’t tall, the naturally hanging hair could already touch the ground.
“Albion is actually a girl?”
Via was very surprised.
“That’s right. Didn’t Lady Sashaya tell the Demon King?”
Desolate Fire laughed.
“Albion is a little mother dragon, you know.”
Oh no, it’s a harem of dragons, swords and who knows what else 😂
