Mushoku Tensei – Old Dragon’s Tale

22. The Last of the Dragon Realm

I wondered why.

I thought it was stupid.

Because we now think that it is precisely until this moment that man God is on our side.

No, should I say beyond this period?

"Man God...... why?

That's how I snapped.

I think there were all kinds of emotions.

Indeed, the Dragon God tried to attack the world.

It could be an enemy from a man god's point of view.

Nevertheless, yes.

I should have always been on my side.

He advised us and helped us.

He helped me to take Master Lunaria's revenge.

God was supposed to have been thinking about all the worlds ever since.

Then God turned to me.

Nasty, hateful grin in your mouth.

"hey... haha, this is... hehe"

I'm sure God tried to say what seemed best at first.

I guess you tried to pronounce the godly words of a man's world without rotting back, sounding like it.

But I guess I couldn't stand it.

That situation must have been too pleasant for him.

I guess everything went too well and couldn't help but mock us.

"Ku, ku... ku fu..."

The laughter spilled.

Stick to your ears, it's a laugh you can't leave.

"No, no... guys, you did a great job. Thanks to you, I was able to fulfill my purpose..."

Turning to us in disdain, God said.

I am new at that time and haven't heard of it since...

Then you can see the words and actions of those who were deceived by him and led to ruin.

When he's in a situation like this, he talks to the perks a lot.

And slap me on the shoulder saying you did well, say it.

"Thanks"

"Hey, what are you talking about..."

I sounded like an asshole.

If you think about it a little bit, you'll know that Dragon God's words were the right ones.

"What are you talking about? We're talking about destroying the world by competing with the gods."

Yes, he was the mastermind.

It was all his fault.

It was not the gods that became evil, nor the Lunarians, nor the dignitaries of each world that killed them.

It was all in his hands.

Maybe it was at his hands that demons and metastases began to occur.

No, is that a coincidence with a boulder?

But I'm pretty sure I used it.

"No, no, I've been sprinkling seeds a little bit for quite some time, but the dragon gods are quick to be careful and come on. But I can't believe we're getting this far."

……

"Especially Shillard. You've worked really well for me. You didn't question one thing I said, and you did exactly what I thought."

Shillard's eyes were opened, and his body trembled as a mess.

"Without your work, the dragon kingdom and the rest of the world would never have crushed each other.

All you have to do is say 'For the Dragon God' and believe the convenient words right away.

But hehe, I didn't expect you loyal men to go as far as to rip your fangs off to Dragon God... "

"Stupid...... then those words haha... I said I want you to stop Dragon God, those words...!

"Oh, ha-ha!

Man God, he laughed.

"Is my acting a big deal, too? Ma, at best, I thought it was to the extent that the Dragon God would be the only one attacking the world, but hehe, hehe, hahahahahahahahahaha!

I looked at Shillard and even laughed funny.

Give me that shillard.

"Thanks to you, we have a definitive gap in Dragon God! I could have killed the most troublesome dragon god unharmed!

I can't believe I even set up such a big trick to poke my husband! What an idiot!

What, you guys! Just stirring it up a little bit, you gonna do it this far?!?

This is what loyalty was calling me, so it makes me laugh!

Poor dragon god too! I've never seen a loyal man like you!

"Ah... oh... ah..."

Think about it. Shillard was acting strange.

I never felt very unnatural, but it was also Shillard who proposed the war first.

It was also Shillard who told me to stop the Dragon God.

Long ago, it was also Shillard who killed the Demon King without the orders of the Dragon God.

Schillard was said to be the most severed of those five dragon generals.

He was being deceived.

Danced properly by the Word of Man God, he called in a war between worlds and drove the Dragon God to death.

When he was poked at the fact, Shillard shouted.

"Dragon god ahhh......!

He chopped off both legs with his remaining arm.

I swept away my remaining fangs and glanced at them.

I stuck my fist in my chest and grabbed my heart out.

"Forgive me. Ooh!

And he held it to lift his heart, and gripped it.

Bachu, along with the sound of being able to play, his heart burst... Shillard's arm fell to the ground powerless.

Following the crystal, Shirad also died.

Second dead dragon.

Dragon general with green and silver scales in his eyes.

For raising martial arts in the war against the devil tribe, he was given the name of Holy Dragon Emperor and a man.

He ended his own life with his own hands, as he once said.

That was his last loyalty.

It was his, last way of showing loyalty, deceived by his enemies and drove the Dragon God to death.

He had no choice but to do this.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

God laughed at his loyalty like that.

Even if I remember, I'm about to chew my back teeth off.

He laughed.

Shillard's loyalty to the Dragon God. The hold of General Wu Long.

But we couldn't say anything.

Sure, we were stupid, stupid, and silly.

He was deceived by the Word of man God, and obeyed the Word of Shirad with promises, and drove the Dragon God to death.

The facts were too heavy.

It was too heavy.

While I regret it, I can't say anything back.

"Don't laugh."

"Hmm?"

It was not General Wu Long who stopped the laughter of man God.

"Shillard is loyal. I won't allow you to laugh."

"Oh, my God, are you still alive? Lizard Modoki's got a lot of vitality, huh?

It's Dragon God.

The dragon god was swept out of the jade of God, and he was still alive.

"And he said he wouldn't allow it. You think you can give me orders in this situation?

"... there is no mistake in Shillard's judgment. I would have done the same thing in his shoes. Everything is my immorality. If you're laughing at Shillard, laugh at me."

"What are you talking about, I've been laughing about you... and..."

The dragon god's killing spirit swelled.

It should be noted that the Dragon God had an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

Anger was making me do that.

In the wake of that killing, a cold sweat floated on the forehead of man God.

"God. No, something that looked like a man god. Answer the question."

"So, you're... in a position..."

"Who are you? Why did you want war? What are you going to do with killing God?... and why did you kill Lunaria"

That was not a question.

It was an order to answer.

We, the Five Dragons, would become upright immovable and would expose our shallow thoughts, it was an order.

……

Man God did not answer.

I did not obey orders.

Instead, I gripped the dragon god's divine balls...

Pakin and, making a pithy noise, the Divine Ball broke.

"Grr!"

The next moment, the dragon god was spitting a lot of blood out of his mouth.

That Divine Ball was the Divine Ball that Dragon God had gotten every time he defeated God.

Balls with the power to cross the world were the source of God's power.

"How long are you going to be up there! Don't be ridiculous! You lost! To me!

The god of man so twitched, stepping on the dragon god who fell to the ground.

I stepped on it over and over again.

"Why did you kill Lunaria? Why did you want war?

That's decided, to kill you!

You have more power than anyone, and you refused to fight more than anyone!

You were more careful than anyone, and you didn't show any gaps!

Ha! And as planned, you're this zama!

There was no longer any power left in the body of the Dragon God.

But the signs don't go away.

Killing, intimidation, just increases.

"Ugh...! What the hell, you are! Damn it!"

Man God was under barometric pressure for that killing.

The dragon god had fallen, threatening the human god even as he was dying.

I was bumping all angry and murderous.

Killed his beloved, he was fought against the gods he had walked with, and even his eyelashes were directed toward his subordination.

All the rage.

"Ha! It's no use staring. You're gonna die now! And I'm the only god!

Man God lagged behind, saying so, and rose to the sky.

And turn your palms flat up.

The force converged on the palm of his hand, producing an awesome density of light spheres.

"Destroy, dragon kingdom"

There was no time to stop.

No, even if there was a time, it wouldn't have stopped me.

Light spheres were fired from the hands of man God.

The light sphere goes far up and into the land of the dragon kingdom to be sucked in...

Explosions, light, and shocks struck the world.

By the time the light subsided, the world had begun to collapse.

The earth cracked down, and darkness crawled up from the sky.

It's a little different than before, but it's a sight I've seen many times.

The world is doomed.

"Ha ha, bye, Ryujin. I hope you perish there like no other."

That's how the gods mocked him, slowly moving away.

I had to watch a series of streams.

If I had been on the spot right now, I would surely have been attacked by a man god.

I would not have forgiven the tyranny of stepping on dragon gods, etc.

I would not have forgiven you for your insult to General Wu Long.

But I didn't know that at the time.

Me, Chaos, Maxwell.

What happened.

What has happened?

Of the five dragon generals, the only one who could get an accurate idea of it was the dead Shirad.

It's just something, irrevocably, terrible has happened.

That's all I found out.

"La Place"

What kept me from you was the word of the Dragon God.

"Ri, dragon god...... here"

I walked to the Dragon God alive on my trembling feet.

The Dragon God was still alive.

He crushed the ball of God, his body was covered with scratches, some wounds received from other gods, but still, he was alive.

"Chaos, Maxwell"

"Dragon God... we..."

"Good."

"But as long as we follow the word of the Dragon God... forgive me, no, you don't have to forgive me, just order me to die. Follow the god of man and order him to strike a blow."

"Forgive me. It's all just something that happened because I don't have enough words."

The Dragon God has forgiven Chaos and Maxwell.

Easy.

Betrayed us.

"I'll give you a mission."

"Ha," "Ha!

"Until the fall of the dragon kingdom, there is no respite... in the meantime I will work out a plan to kill the god of man. Buy time with your lives."

When you buy time, you don't even know what exactly you're going to do when they say that.

I'd get around to it somewhat right now, but now, still, how to stop the world from collapsing, etc...

But they didn't even get confused by the last order.

"... Ha!

Chaos and Maxwell flew off, and the Dragon God circled his neck.

"Dora, where's Dora?

The Dragon God called the name of Dora.

But Master Dora... couldn't.

She wasn't a body that could move anymore.

"La Place"

"Ha."

I didn't let anyone tell me.

I moved to her side to see Lady Dora's end.

"Dear Dora,"

"... ha... ha... that voice... la plus... what happened? I don't see anything anymore."

Master Dora was dying.

There should have been very little left to think about anymore.

However, I guess she also understood that something bad had happened.

In a hazy consciousness, that's what I've been desperately asking.

"The god of man..."

I told you everything I saw, everything that happened.

That it was all a man-god ploy.

That the war was caused by the leap of man God, and that Shillard, who took responsibility, died.

That the dragon god will die by the hand of man god.

That the dragon kingdom perishes.

Everything.

"Well... then, with death, we must make amends... we shall no longer die..."

Master Dora said to me, looking hollow with her vain eyes.

"LaPlath...... do me a favor"

"I beg your pardon."

"It is not an order... please... that I, as a rebel, be judged, have no choice but to have my son... missed Pergius... please"

"Missed? To where?"

"To the future... the way to do it is to the laboratory of metastasis... please, Dragon God too..."

I didn't know what Lady Dora meant.

But you'll soon find out.

Well, let's put it down.

"But then again, it's what Dragon God said that was right... we were wrong... that's all... good. The battle with the Dragon God was a mistake, really, really good..."

Lady Dora said that at the end.

I'm sure you've been wondering.

Fight, but stop the Dragon God.

to the act.

I guess that's why I heard everything and felt that way.

And he's dead.

Following Shillard, he died third.

He died thinking more about loyalty to the Dragon God than about his own death, more about the location of his son, more than anything else.

Until the end, she was loyally thick.

……

I returned to the Dragon God after I had seen the death of Master Dora.

And at the end of the day, I conveyed the words left by Master Dora to the Dragon God.

After a brief thought, the Dragon God said:

"Laplace, get my body to the metastasis lab."

"Ha."

I held the Dragon God's body with one hand and jumped up.

Regardless, your other hand had your child's body.

Flying for a few minutes while avoiding falling mountains.

I got to a place.

Once, they only brought me here once, a secret place.

Metastatic magic lab.

"This is, Dragon God"

"How delightful..."

Older researchers, everyone remained on the spot.

The ancients, already aware of the time of death, did not wander about the collapse of the world, neither did the fine dust.

But when I saw the wounded dragon god, I complained of anxiety about what had happened and whether it was okay.

Without responding to that word, the Dragon God only inherited one word: "The time has come".

The old men cleared the way with painful thoughts and put us through to the deepest end of the institute.

In the deepest part, there was one altar and a stone tablet.

corner of the world.

It is an altar very similar to the gates to the rest of the world.

The stone tablet had multiple inscriptions of complex surgical ceremonies.

And on the altar, three divine balls were placed.

LaPlath, get your son here.

As I said, I put your son on the altar.

And when the dragon god was well away from me, he stood to hang by the altar.

When I was wondering what I was going to do, I started drawing magic formations around your son.

It used to be a technique that was too advanced for me, but apparently I only managed to understand that it applied the technique written on the stone tablet.

The Dragon God seemed to understand just a few seconds after watching it.

"I can't stop the collapse of the dragon kingdom, I die too. We lost."

The dragon god, pale, told me to check the facts.

"But he has to be killed."

Man God killed Master Lunaria.

He made us dance on the palm of his hand, destroying the rest of the world.

He made General Wu Long and the Dragon God contend and led them to self-destruction.

I couldn't forgive you.

"That's not a god. Man God is not such a man... let's call him human gami, shall we say so? I don't know why Hitogami is imitating the God of Man or where the God of Man has gone, but I am certain that he tried to destroy us in bad faith and that he has the power of God."

……

"You'll need God's power to defeat him as well"

The Dragon God looked straight at me.

"After this, I will go to the world and challenge him to the final showdown."

"Well, you can't do that with your body."

"I know. I can no longer avoid death. There is no chance of winning. But we can reward you with one arrow."

When the Dragon God said so, he took one of the divine balls and pushed it into his own chest.

Blood shed and Dragon God's body glowed.

It seemed that only a little strength had returned to the dying body.

"But that arrow must be tied to victory. Hence..."

That's what the Dragon God said, he took one of the divine balls and placed it right beside your son... just a little bit, in a place that was rounded and concave.

"Rebirth my child"

Your son has the blood of the dragon god and the blood of the man god.

It's a demigod, with considerable blood intensity.

I had the power of God.

"Grant him all the skill he can, and apply tricks he can't find until he has the power to beat him... but he still has no chance of winning. I don't know why he looks like a human god and has the power of God. If we don't figure that out, defeat is imperative."

So the dragon god looked at me and took the last god ball... and offered it to me.

"I'll give you a role."

"Ha!"

I received it and saluted it most.

Most salutes I could remember for the Dragon God when I thought of it......

That made it the Dragon God, the last most salute.

"Your son sends it to the future for tens of thousands of years or so. In the meantime, you find out who he is, where he is, what his weaknesses are... find out everything, find the means to take him down, and tell your son!

"Ha ha!"

The Dragon God had made numerous grants to your son, even as he gave me orders.

Complex surgical formulas.

I still don't fully understand what technique was applied.

But it turns out that's the ability to counter 'man god'.

At least human gami has the same power as human gods.

As the sound of collapse sounded from the outside, I waited still for it to end.

A magical formation is drawn and embedded in your child's body without precipitation.

I guess the Dragon God was already foreseen.

That it would end like this.

Perhaps already when our Wu Long General disobeyed.

If you think about it, you could have ignored our General Wu Long's restraint and gone to the world.

But the Dragon God was probably treading that he couldn't win then.

If the Five Dragons have left and gone around with their enemies, they must be able to wipe out the traps that would have been prepared for mankind and reach the human gami.

That's why they were searching for another winner.

As General Wu Long prepares the means to confront the Dragon God, all the time.

"Finally, do you want to ask me something?

That's what the Dragon God, who applied the last magic formation, has asked me.

I slowly sprinkled my neck, and no, I looked up.

I really need to ask you something.

"Name it."

"Name?"

"Your son's name."

This is the last time.

Then I had to ask.

All this, I couldn't decide on my own.

Because it was also Lunaria's desire that the Dragon God decide his name.

……

The dragon god thought only a little.

But I guess I already made up my mind.

"Orstead."

pompous;

"This girl's name is Alstead."

It was so declared.

Thus, your son......

Master Olstead was sent to the future.

The Dragon God and I jumped out of a collapsing laboratory and went straight to the human race.

The Dragon God left me to go first, though.

Finally, when I said, "Good luck," he said, "I am no longer out of luck and fate."

That's the last word I've heard.

I jumped on Saleyakt and flew to the altar, avoiding one rock mass after another falling.

As I was flying, I felt something behind my back, big signs disappear.

Two.

Chaos and Maxwell.

Two people who were literally risking their lives to stop the collapse died.

Fourth dead dragon, chaos.

The last dead dragon, Maxwell.

Or maybe in reverse order, but that's what I remembered.

With their efforts, I managed to escape the collapsing dragon kingdom.

The battle had already begun when I reached the world.

As a result of the battle between God and God, there was a natural mutation rolling around in the world.

Tornado, heavy rain, tsunami, earthquake, thunder.

And the fear and hatred that swirls across the world......

Every creature in this world has led to fear of the Dragons, the intimidation of God.

But more than those, I was surprised.

Because the world was changing dramatically.

It was so long ago that I don't remember when I came before......

Speaking of humans, there should have been only a flat meadow that lasted everywhere and a river.

Even so, there was a mountain there. There was a forest. There was an ocean. There was a wilderness. There was a desert.

That's where the six worlds were condensed.

Perhaps the collapse of other worlds has infiltrated magic and eroded the human race.

From my point of view, it was an unbalanced, but now I think it was a balanced world.

I stood down to one of the mountains, spanning Saleyakt.

The highest mountain in the world.

So I watched the end of the fight.

I don't know where Dragon God and Human Gami are fighting.

But I wished the Dragon God victory.

I couldn't help wishing, whether it was one possibility for all of us.

Eventually, the battle was over.

The thunder, the tornado subsided, and the roar lurked.

It just kept raining quietly.

Seven days and seven nights.

On the eighth day, the sky was blue and clear.

There was no wind, no sea.

There was no longer anywhere, such as a mighty sign of God.

The figure of the dragon god, the figure of the human gami.

I was just enlightened.

The Dragon God is nowhere to be found anymore.

Thus, the dragon kingdom perished.
