"I don't...! Damn it! What the hell is going on already... whoa?

Shortly after Bahamut disappeared, the audience was squirming, and everyone was strangely necked.

"The next moment I wondered if a giant dragon had appeared, its figure disappearing without a trace".

Everyone but Blance felt that way.

"Oh, that? hey what happened...... now i do have a huge dragon...... i mean that...... it was like bahamut i saw in the book...... '

'... were you even dreaming? By the way, doesn't it look like Avan's here?

"Oh, that!? hey...... why!?

"Uh... tell me about Avan's sudden errand. Ku, were you one of those people who could use space transfer? Suddenly he disappeared from sight..."

"Huh!? Then the game...!

He said he would abstain.

"" "" 'Huh!?

From the audience, the same voice goes up as Carol.

Because the shock was so strong, it was blowing the memory of a dragon that I saw for a moment from most people's heads.

"Well, then... the first champion of the first Sumerian tournament... I'm not sure... I'm a Blance player..."

"" "" O... ooh... ""

"... I did it"

Thus, the Sumerian martial arts tournament closes with the result of Brance's victory.

But in fact, nothing was done yet.

Rather, the unrest in Sumeria… has just begun.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"(b) Dear Lord... Downstairs..."

"Oh, oh... how much..."

Peeping down from Mr. Bahamut's back with Levy, the mountains, the rivers, the woods, and then the occasional town or something you can see quickly passes.

I guess it's because they're flying over the super sky, they all looked small like bean grains.

Traveling so fast around so high, it's not even cold without the wind.

I had no sense of reality whatsoever because of that.

"Oh, uh... because of what, where is this headed?

"Hmm? My address, though?

No, so where is that...

"Where does Master Bahamut live?

Nice one, Levi.

"Oh... it's the top of the mountain the humans call Vanaheim"

"Va, top of Vanaheim!?

The Sword Emperor Peak Vanaheim... is one of the highest known mountains in this continent of Valhalla.

Indeed, the fact that the altitude is estimated to be more than 10,000 metres… also means that the summit is always covered in thick clouds and accurate measurements from the outside are not possible first.

From what I've heard, there are tons of demons and dragons living there to climb and measure, and a fierce snowstorm that never stops blocks the way to go, and the space is even more distorted, so you can't transfer... So no one is supposedly successful at climbing the summit.

"I see... certainly thousands of years there... no, it's not strange if no one finds you for tens of thousands of years"

"Oh... or you can't go even if you know you're here."

"For humans, it's a bit of a tough environment. Well, if you're on my side, no problem. Like now, if you cover it with my power, the environment around you will be irrelevant '

I'm still not sure what that power means, but for now, okay?

"I see... So Mr. Bahamut has been there the whole time?

'Oh. Even so, I'm almost asleep... unless I feel something'

"... that means something happened, right?

'That's what I'm talking about. Mm, it's time to get there. We'll see about that later.'

When they said that and looked around, I was flying over a vast forest that lasted until the horizon at some point, and beyond... I could see that mountain that was too huge.

"That's... Vanaheim..."

It's the first time I've seen it raw, but it's still a hell of a presence even though it's still a distance away.

Or when are we gonna get to a place like this... how fast are we flying?

Still, the air is kind of weird.

There may be more clouds and the weather isn't very nice, but I guess it's something special or something......

"I'm going through the clouds now, so my vision disappears, but stay still. I'll be there in a minute. '

"Oh, I see."

Moments, Mr. Bahamut rises at once, along with the feeling of his body rising.

And we went into the thick clouds that covered the top of Vanaheim.

As soon as possible, vision will be dominated by white, and nothing will be visible except Levi, who is next door.

And...

"Ugh... wah..."

"Ko, this is... how beautiful..."

Vision through thick clouds and abruptly flickering.

There was so much scenery there that I didn't think it belonged in this world.

The sun shines brightly in a sky as beautiful as it is pale and clear.

A cloudy sea on one side like a sculpture, illuminated by the light overflowing from it.

And above all, the summit of the earth that broke through its clouds and exactly deserved to be called the castle of the sky...... the summit of Vanaheim was there.

"Wow..."

"Yep...... no other words"

We had no choice but to admire, and Mr. Bahamut flew slowly and stepped down from the top of Vanaheim to a slightly uneven flat.

I guess it's because it's on the clouds...... no snow, the bumpy rock skin was giving a cold impression, but it's even rather warm when I get down.

Besides...

"You're wider than I thought. More like this... I thought it felt prickly."

"There's a flat spot for a couple of kilometers. At the top of the rocky mountain you can see over there is even a cave where I can fit in and still have more. Absolutely… the power of nature is magnificent. '

"Sure..."

"But don't get too far away from me in love with beauty, okay? Otherwise, your lungs will die, by the way. There's no heat or air here. Furthermore, distortions have occurred in this space. Without the art of seeing it, you might lose contact with this world. Be careful. '

"Yes, sir"

Losing contact with this world... going to a different world or something like that...?

Anyway, it seems better not to be too far apart.

'Then sit down appropriately. You don't feel cold. "

We sat back on the spot, as we were told.

Certainly not cold...... what the hell kind of power is that?

'Well, where do we start... there's too much we have to talk about, and it doesn't fit together. It's also thousands of years to talk to someone like this...... no, 10,000 years have passed'

"Yes, 10,000 years...... oh, then can I ask you from this side?

'Mmm, okay. It might be better. "

"Thank you. So, first of all... why did Mr. Bahamut come to me? Or how did you even know my name?

'Uhm. I haven't woken up in about a thousand years, having been in permanent sleep... months from now'

Huh?

A thousand years ago...?

'This means that when Jormungand descends upon this land of Valhalla, Your body reacted to the unusual magic that it emitted. So, soon afterwards, I felt Yorumungand collide with someone with another powerful magic. That's Lord...... you, huh?

"Oh, yes."

Mr. Bahamut nodded and then opened his mouth again.

"Initially I was just following the magic currents and asking from here how they would fall... I'm still curious. minutes produced the body, and sent it to the ground to examine various'

"Bu, minute body...?

"It incorporates my blood into the magic that has been worked out into the human form. Being the main body, I will be unable to move, but I will be able to move freely as a person. In addition, it can mutate into a medium-sized dragon. I only had time... so I got into that kind of business in my spare time. Well, anyway, I figured that out a lot. Your name includes, of course, what's going on in this world right now... all sorts of things'

"Is that what you mean..."

"Uhm. After all the research in the human figure, I dived into Greece in the dragon figure and ended up watching your battle with Yorumungand. I got in the way, but it was a brilliant fight. I thought my dragon's blood was dead... enough to make a scene."

... I'm afraid of my eyes.

And he's so stingy.

Give me a break......

"Cook Cook...... just kidding"

"haha......"

I really don't know......

'So, your battle is over, and I'm asleep again. I was wondering if I would sleep again for thousands of years... the other day. I woke up again.'

"What the hell... happened?

"... you know the dragon that pairs with me?

"Ah, yes. Valkyrios...... right?

Mixed dragon Valkyrios.

Same as the Eternal Dragon Bahamut now in front of you...... the oldest dragon that has become a legend.

When I was a kid, I remember it well because I saw it many times in a picture book.

Or that alien...... I was so scared that I couldn't forget it even if I wanted to.

'Yes... that one also survived like me. In this land of Valhalla. But... he's gone now.
