The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

38. Memory of the Imperial Beast, Part I

If we're going to trace the origin of that demon, it's a long time ago than it is now - we have to go back more than a thousand years.

At the time, all continents were one.

A world of weak and forceful eating with all sorts of demons.

Among them were two extraordinarily strong demons.

Dragon and lion demons.

The two demons claimed and contested each other's territory.

The forces are mutual.

The dragon demon and the lion demon fought for three days and three nights, and there was no settlement until the end.

Together they died eating each other's throats.

And there was a demon that benefited the fisherman.

Slime.

One little slime.

The slime was newborn.

A dense magic trick born when two demons fought each other.

It happened naturally from there.

Naturally I have no self, no power.

No intelligence or reason exists.

Slime therefore acted as his instinct.

I was starving.

I was just born and haven't eaten anything.

Slime was hungry.

The carcass of demons prepared for you.

Slime ate two demons as his instincts went.

Fortunately, there was no one to interrupt.

All the demons around him were dead, caught up in the battle between the two demons.

Slime continued to eat until it was filled.

I finished eating two demons.

It was delicious.

That's what Slime thought when he finished his meal.

Yes, I thought so. There's a slime that's not supposed to be me.

It's a change.

Having eaten a powerful demon, Slime raised the stature of his being.

Magic overflowed from the inside of my body.

I'm getting the feeling that I've gained strength.

At this time, Slime had the will.

My body swelled up bumpy, and the power of the dragon and the power of the lion dwelt in my body.

The stronger slime sought further prey.

Then again, Slime changed his hunting grounds carelessly, changed his appearance, and continued to prey.

Eat, eat, eat - I kept eating.

Just eat, fight, eat, fight, repeat, repeat -.

Eventually he realized he was very strong.

Furthermore, he was equipped with unique abilities.

That applauded his strength.

I'm not dying.

No matter how much he was hurt, no matter how crushed, he didn't die.

He was a slime in which no special “demon nucleus” existed among the slimes.

No, if I'm being exact, my whole body is "Demon Nucleus".

The name of his unique ceremony is Immortality.

A broken ability to multiply from it and return to its original appearance if even one piece of flesh remains.

No matter how strong your opponent is, no matter how swarmed your opponent is, if you don't die, you can win any day.

Slime hunted, won, at will, and kept eating.

At one point, I ate a giant horse demon.

At one point, he ate the Great Eagle demon flying in the sky.

At one point, he ate the demon of Sika, who was said to be the Lord of the Woods.

At one point, I ate a snake demon lurking in the sea.

At one point, he ate a wolf demon that formed a herd.

How long have you been eating?

If you noticed, that appearance was changing.

The body expands endlessly and no longer faces as a slime anywhere.

The tentacles that had been stretched out of his body had at some point changed to nine necks.

Each possessed the characteristics of a demon's head that he had fought and eaten so far.

The body, which was on a translucent sphere, had internal organs, had skin, grew hands and feet, and became equipped with the characteristics of every demon ever eaten.

That was no longer a slime, a different species of organism.

Slime has evolved.

From the weakest to the strongest.

At this time, Slime, no, “he” got the only “pieces.”

Some demons were attracted to his strength like that and came together.

The first time I went down to him was a black snake.

The black serpent, who, as usual, sought prey and challenged him to battle, who had been sarcastic, drowned his head and vowed obedience to him.

That would make hunting easier if the numbers increased.

Hunt with someone and eat the same prey.

I also felt fresh to have someone to talk to.

Then again, the demons who arrived at him continued to increase.

Demons, fiery demons, ore demons, spider demons, water demons, dark demons, and various demons, whose swords were humanized, gathered to him, admired him, worshipped him, and walked with him.

Turning around, I was overflowing with demons who arrived at me and followed me.

I didn't feel bad.

Eventually, this is what he becomes called.

He who brings the demons together - with the Imperial Beast.

It was the moment when the demons living on earth, their absolute kings, were born.

At that time, two forces existed on the continent.

One is the army of demons he leads.

The other kingdom is the kingdom of man.

Most importantly, he was not interested in fighting for power.

With strength and more companionship, all he wants is peace of mind for himself and his flock.

Therefore, in a corner of the continent, he was in peace with his family.

But one day its peace will be broken.

The humans have invaded his land.

Naturally, he got mad at this.

At first I took the word and tried to get rid of them.

This is where we live, don't come in.

Neither are we willing to interfere with you guys.

The humans did not listen to the repeated warnings.

He stood up with his people to get rid of the pests trampling the territory with his earthfoot.

Humans were a troublesome species.

You're weak on your own, but when you flock, you get stronger as soon as possible. It is obsessive over the large number.

Besides, strangely powerful individuals appear from time to time.

There was no kiri to chase back or chase back.

He had no choice but to take his people and set foot in the middle of the continent to prune this from its roots.

So - he saw something incredible.

Something enormous came down from the sky, crushing the kingdom of men, nay, the continent.

Impossible phenomenon.

Too much non-standard destruction.

What the hell happened? Who did?

In a vortex of confusion and destruction, he saw.

Overwhelming presence.

Magic that isolated the others.

There was a dragon.

He couldn't take his eyes off the sight.

The continent was broken, and the land where the people dwelt, and the land where they dwelt, was cut off, and he gained peace.

But I could never forget the demons I saw that day.

And - he met them.

The meeting was abrupt.

That day, before ourselves, the three people who suddenly appeared - no, one and two, to be exact - named themselves family members of the stellar vein.

The battle was challenged without understanding the translation, and he was defeated.

'No, you're strong. If it wasn't for me, I might have lost. But look, I'm super strong! Because it's your sister's brother! So I'm not going to lose to anyone but my sister, I'm sorry. - Right, Lias?

"Yes, yes, I know it's Ciscon, so please hold it down a little longer, Uronus."

'Haha, they're going to say terrible. Right, Joker?

"What, uh, I agree with Senior Lias. Honestly, creepy - hey, why am I the only one who's cheeky and fluffy!?

'Shut up! Here's what I'm gonna do! Here's what I'm gonna do!

... What the hell is this situation?

He thought about the situation as he rolled to the ground like a worn out cloth cut.

I couldn't understand as much as I thought about it.

But there's only one thing for sure.

It means that they are strong and that they have defeated.

Yes, defeat.

It was, for him, his first experience at birth.

He lost when he said he had given up all the power he could have.

The only thing I fought for was the brunette boy - the black dragon as a whole, but honestly, it was strong enough to seem unusual from his eyes.

His attack was frantic.

An attack as if to extinguish one's existence.

The Black Dragon boy has launched an attack on himself, who is immortal, to shred his presence.

Thanks to you, I was worn out. I don't even have the power to stand up.

Look around.

Zahark, Henri, Spunta and Asha are all falling apart in tears.

I'm not dead.

I guess I could have killed him.

Failure to do so revealed an overwhelming difference in power between ourselves and him.

he asked. What can I do for you?

Dark-haired boy, Uronus wants his hands pounded.

'Oh, I did! I was obsessed with the battle and forgot what I was supposed to do!

And spread his arms wide open at all costs.

"Azil the Imperial Beast! You're not going to join the family of the stellar vein? This is amazing! 'Cause it's unprecedented that a demon on earth joins a family of star veins! It was never the same in the history of a long star range. You're the first! Of course, I don't care if your family is with you! No, I think it would be better if my family got busier.'

'... for once I'm from the ground, too?

'Except for Lias. Lias is my “special," so no count, no count. "

"That's how convenient you are to say it again..."

"Oh, but it's not far enough for your sister's special."

…………

"Hey, hey, Joker, I'm kind of terrified of Lias' face?

"I deserve it. Really, dull bass, this dragon... '

"What's going on? Anyway, Azil! Be one of us! I'm sure it's fun! Try and fight. Okay. I think I might get along very well with you. [M] Even Yamu and Murus will definitely welcome you! So why don't you come with us?

That's what I said, the hand that was offered.

After a little trouble, he took the hand.

It is nature's edification that the weak follow strong things.

More importantly, if we follow them, we might see each other again.

To that being.

By that dragon he was blinded to for the first time.

On this day he became a family member of the first star vein on earth.

And this was the first step to ruin.
