In the mountains of a certain continent. There is a large volcano there, and the smoke is constantly rising from the fire escape. Inside that crater was a black dragon resting its feathers.

In the scorching heat of accumulating magma everywhere, Black Dragon does not keep his eyes closed and slightly moving. At first glance it looks dead, but if you look closely, you can see its body moving up and down slowly.

This black dragon was Royce. After the battle with Linos, he came here.

That his own strategy had come off so far was something he had never done before. Not only did he fail to capture Agarta King Linos, but he was even captured by his sister Shario. I remain unaware of my sister's whereabouts, but I can easily imagine her being with perhaps Linos or the Dragon King.

"Dragon King..."

Unexpectedly he whines in a small voice. Linos and the Dragon King, and spirits with power far beyond these two...... it's hard to fight and win them against each other. But he had one plan. how to do it...... he's been thinking about it in this scorching heat.

... Failure will not be tolerated just this time. You have to carry things perfectly.

With that in mind, he accidentally leaks a grin. If this works, we'll be able to beat Dragon King and Linos. That way, this world can move as much as it wants.

... Well, first, let's get ready.

Royce's eyes opened and a creepy light shone in his eyes. As he slowly spread his wings, he rose towards the sky without sound.

"What the hell were you doing!

It was my eldest brother Tsune who was revealing his anger. It was not long before I thought I had appeared that a report was made from Royce's mouth that Shario had been captured by the Dragon King.

"No way, I didn't think King Agarta Linos and King Dragon would join hands..."

……

"Besides, my brother would have felt it too. Signs of far surpassing the Dragon King."

"What the hell was that?

"The Spirit."

"Spirits? I've never heard of spirits with such huge signs."

"Probably the dragon."

"No way......"

"If your opponent is the Dragon King, it's not unthinkable"

……

"What do we do, brother?

"What do you mean, what do you do?

"As it is, we will be destroyed by the Dragon Kings. Sit down and wait for death?

"The way you put it, is there any way"

"Oh, there is. If our brothers become one rock against each other, we will be able to defeat King Dragon, King Agarta Linos. And we can get Shario back."

"... become a single rock. What does confrontation mean? What are you going to do?"

Royce's expression turns into a lowly smile. When he saw it, the Tsune had a bad feeling for a moment, but he regained his mind and listened to his brother's words.

"So, brother, can you call the other brothers?"

"What?

"I told you earlier. Our brothers have to fight in a single rock. If so, we'll all have to work out a plan."

……

"Brother, in your belly, Royce, you gather. Is that what you think? I know what my brother thinks so I can take it. But think about it, do you think the other brothers will listen to me? Only a brother will be able to convince the brothers of Raal"

The Tsune listened silently to Royce's words, but eventually, slowly spreading his feathers, he rose above without sound. Royce smiled lowly again as she watched how it was.

◆ ◆ ◆

A few hours later, at Royce's side, four black dragons were gathered. That is, his eldest brother Tsune, his second brother Raal, and Royce's younger brothers, Tacha and Shawth, were holding back in front of him.

"I heard from Tsune's brother, but didn't Shario get caught by the Dragon King? I have to go help him quickly. I have to go right away. Hey, Shawth."

"Exactly. There is no need for the brothers to get their hands on it. I'm good enough here on my own."

Listening to his brothers conversation, Royce smiles invincibly.

"Sweet, you guys."

"What?

"The opponent is that dragon king. And even a comparable man is the opponent. Can you defeat the Dragon King by yourself? One dragon king burns his hand, but that's the other. Besides, one of them is a human race, but it's an unusual strength. I don't know how to say this, but I fought him directly. My arm was slashed."

When I hear the word that Royce's arm has been slashed, my younger brothers are stunned. He is Royce, the best of his brothers when it comes to cunning and defense. It was unthinkable, such as cleaving his scales and chopping off his arms.

"The fastest spinning chario of our brothers was captured. That's all you need to know about your enemies' skills."

……

To everyone who ends, Royce slowly opens his mouth.

"I have an operation. We'll get Shario back, and our brother won't be attacked by the Dragon King."

"... let's hear it"

"First of all, everyone here will be humanized"

"Humanization?

Ask with a look of surprise. To such a brother, Royce laughs lowly.

"Oh yeah. We need to humanize and get off this island."

"Get out. What do we do?

"Heading somewhere"

"A place?

"You'll see that if you follow me."

"Wait."

It was his second brother Raal who sandwiched his mouth. He is the most cautious and thoughtful brother of his brothers. Royce was my worst brother.

Raal was one of his brothers, a colorful creature. There wasn't much for him to say when we talked, and I probably left it to my brothers and Royce. I just didn't leave it to you, I gave my opinion quite firmly when I spoke. A silent man, he rarely opened his mouth, but a mere word had the weight of a slate stone.

He often thought still in the woods. I had no idea what Royce was thinking. This brother, who takes such a leisurely attitude, even hated Royce through his bad consciousness.

But none of the other brothers complained about this Raal. Seeing those attitudes, Royce thought we just had to stay firm. Compared to the oldest brother of the firmest, the Tsune, he felt something hard to get close to Raal, who seemed to him as a lost ocean in the extreme.

On the other hand, this brother and Shario were close. It was just a pattern while Shario spoke unilaterally, but she liked this brother, touched the fold and had contact with him. Neither did Raal treat Shario in an evil way, and he appeared ostensibly to be a good brother and sister.

"I don't feel any sign of Shario, but where are you"

"I can't tell you that"

"Why?"

"Speaking of which, my brothers will try to get there right away."

"How can you say all that?

'Cause my brothers are places I never expected to be.'

"Isn't that Agarta"

"No."

"What?"

Raal trying to say something. But Royce grunted, blocking his words.

"You think you're suspicious of me, but for once, why don't you let me fool you? If we join forces, Shario can undoubtedly be recaptured. I have a pretty good idea where Shario is. Why don't we go there first and make sure Shario survives? And I want you to listen to my operation. I'll do it, I don't mind you making up your mind there if you don't. What do you say?"

The brothers are just silent. There Raal opens his mouth again.

"Why should we be humanized?"

"To not be enlightened by the Dragon King."

"To the Dragon King."

"That's right. If we move like this, the Dragon King will surely notice. It's about him. You must be on guard on this island. In order not to be distracted by that guy, we have to turn off the signs and leave this island as much as possible. If the Dragon King finds us before we leave the island, it will destroy us."

Royce stared at his eldest brother Tsune. He exhaled slowly and circled his neck...
