「…Geez. That was surprising. I heard that I was destroying a city, but I must have heard it wrong right?」

「Seems like you have been tainted by evil too. Escaping one’s responsibility is the worst, you know.」

「Uhh… so it wasn’t my misunderstanding when you said that…」

Although I’m reluctant, I call out again to the fading communication light.

「Um… Ariante? Can you still hear me?」

『Oi, you. Did you disconnect the communication just now?』

「N-No way. It’s just a little unstable. There is no way I’m going to run away in such an emergency.」

『…Fine. I’ll pursue this matter later.』

As I was shrinking my body from my postponed punishment, Ariante began to report the situation.

『To be clear, it’s the worst situation. Right now, you are so powerful that you can be called a true Evil Dragon. On top of that, Rēko’s attack doesn’t work because it’s you at the end.』

The hellish picture of agonizing cries was spreading.

Evil Dragon Rēvendia flew into the city of Peryudōna, and like a violent dragon that has lost all reason, began to destroy it.

The interception from the city’s defenses had no effect, and the barrier of the Saintess’s waterway drawn from Seiren was instantly broken.

Leisurely soaring above the sky of the city. The Evil Dragon emitted a fire breath so hot that it melts iron instantly.

However, the city has barely been destroyed.

「This fake bastard. All life in this world is the property of Evil Dragon-sama. Do you think it’s something that you can overrun?」

Rēko’s pair of black wings that are flapping in her back creates a storm of wind that stops the flames.

Her magic power does not work against Rēvendia’s body. However, it is still possible to counter if it’s derived from a physical attack. With Rēko’s current ability, her wind alone can provide some resistance.

However, the heat waves from the flames and the aftermath of storms constantly fall on the city, causing buildings to collapse one after another. And the stones of the collapsed clock tower fell down directly above the people trying to evacuate.

「Turn Humanoid! Stone Golem!」

Immediately before that, countless stones were intertwined with magical threads. The threads are then sewn up to transform the stones into a giant, which then uses its back as a shield to protect people from the heat.

「Come, everyone! Say your thanks to me! To this kind, strong, and cool Sousou!」

The buildings that collapsed one after another turned into a stone giant that protected the people and minimized the damage.

Moving to the next evacuation place.

「It’s been a long time, but I’ll release my demon power! Everyone, sink!」

The Saintess looked down to the city and shouted from the top of the stone giant that was made by Sousou.

At the same time as the shout, the ground in the center of the city transformed into a clear puddle. And from there, the puddle spreads like a ripple, covering the entire city in just a few seconds.

「Now, sink calmly! It is going to go to the safe square at Seiren!」

Some adventurers full of fighting spirit avoided the water, but the non-combatant resident sank down into the Saintess’s water.

In order to prevent that, the Evil Dragon in the sky opens its mouth toward the Saintess. In order to breathe a fire of unprecedented power.

Magic power shone at the back of his throat. It is doubtful that Rēko’s wind pressure can offset it.

「Kyaa――――! It’s here, it’s here! Right now, quickly!」

「Wait, two more seconds… Now! Hunt God, do it!」

『Understood.』

The Hunt God moved at the sign of Ariante and the Saintess.

The front legs of the Evil Dragon Rēvendia still have the black claws that were once bestowed by the Hunt God.

The black claws stretched out like tentacles.

Then, it tied the jaw of the Evil Dragon, which was about to breathe fire.

Explosion.

Immediately before the breath, his jaws were sealed and the flames burst inside the dragon’s body. The Evil Dragon exhaled black smoke with a cry of agony while staggering slightly in the air.

『Ariante! What was that just now!? What happened!?』

Ariante answered Rēvendia’s question echoing from the communication device in her hand.

「That cooperation caused a little damage to you. Is there anything different there?」

『Nothing in particular.』

「So no effect…damn it.」

Ariante clicks her tongue.

That is a dragon with an enormous amount of magic power. Even if some attacks hit, it will recover immediately. At the very least it could act as a stimulus to awaken the original Rēvendia, but it seems like it won’t be an easy opponent.

「Rēvendia. From now on, we’ll start trying to exhaust his magic power. In the meantime, you somehow regain control of your consciousness.」

『But it’s a strong opponent, right? It might be better to escape…』

「Even if we ran away, this Evil Dragon will only go to another city. We need to stop him here when we have strength to intercept him.」

Ariante grabbed a sword.

It was a sword that the fake kin once prepared to lure Raiotto. It was used as a trap once, but it is now a useful weapon.

「”The Cursed Sword of The Dragon Slayer” . I’ll let you sip the blood of a special Evil Dragon. Are you ready?」

「Ou. Don’t lick me, human.」

The sharper the tool, the more convenient it is when strengthening it. It will have maximum attack power against dragons.

In addition, I’ll use my trump card.

「Listen! Warriors of Peryudōna! I swear our victory here! Defeat the Evil Dragon and show the bravery of our city!」

From the remaining warriors, voices and swords rise in response.

It’s not really bravery, I think.

The me in the past, is nothing more than a weak girl who knew nothing about herself. But, that girl didn’t like that and pushed herself to the limit.

As a first class warrior, as an immortal by relying on medicine, and always pretending to be indomitable, she made a name for herself as a maiden who dominates the adventurers of this city.

And one day, it became a fact.

「And one more enchantment. “Ariante, the maiden of Peryudōna”.」

By wrapping magic power on herself, she idealizes the appearance of the warrior she has built up in her life and projects it on herself. The voices of the adventures help literally.

She hung the communication device connected to Rēvendia around her neck and stepped hard on the ground.

「Let’s go!」

A leap.

Aiming at the Evil Dragon in the sky, pushing straight to him by kicking off the air. The Evil Dragon’s attack becomes slightly delayed due to the unexpected approach of a living human being.

A slash that leaves sound behind.

What was dealt was just a scratch. However, the magic sword does not miss the small amount of blood that leaked from it.

「Hyaaahaaa――! Delicious, isn’t it!」

The blood that contained enormous magic power became the power of the magic sword as it was. Ariante grabs the wings of the Evil Dragon and lands on its back, dealing a continuous cut that doesn’t seem to stop on people’s eyes.

Sucking the blood in each cut, the magic sword’s attack power increases.

However,

「Damn it…It’s too hard.」

Even though it is sucking magic power, the opponent doesn’t show any sign of exhaustion at all. The wounds soon close.

Eventually, the Evil Dragon flapped its wings with a gesture as if driving away some bugs. Immediately after that, countless vacuum blades were generated, chopping Ariante’s body and blowing her into the air.

The flying Rēko collects her.

「Don’t do something rash, human.」

「I’m sorry. But I won’t be able to do any damage to him unless I do something rash.」

Rēko has the greatest attack power, but it is nullified against him. And the tactic of self-destructing yourself with the opponent like before won’t work so many times either.

Then right now, should prepare for a drastic special attack move-

「No, what an annoyance.」

Then, Rēko suddenly became dissatisfied with something.

Ariante noticed it. A gray cloud was floating far above the Evil Dragon. No, that’s wrong. It’s not a cloud.

Is that――smoke?

「Looks like a slightly strong guy has come as reinforcement. A difficult guy to handle even for me.」

Along with a flash of light, a lightning struck from the smoke.

The Evil Dragon, which was hit by a lightning strike from above, fell with a tailspin and crashed on the plains outside of Peryudōna. On the ground where he fell, there is a crater made with a tremendous impact.

「What’s wrong with you, Evil Dragon Rēvendia? Why have you become much weaker? There is your strong personality like when you defeated me.」

There is a shadow overlooking the Evil Dragon. A big man in full-body armor covered with purple lighting.

「That is…?」

「That is the previous Demon King who was defeated by Evil Dragon-sama in a fight before. He was called Yoro, I think.」
