The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

39. The Imperial Beast Memory, Part II

- Nice to meet you, demon on earth.

He and his family were invited to the star vein.

During his gaze, he confronted his presence.

Divine Disaster Dragon King Gibble.

The first time he was blinded.

Supreme at the apex. The ultimate and absolute ruler of the star vein.

The figure was small enough to be mistaken for a pebble.

It's only about the size of a man's hand.

But the presence was more overwhelming than anyone else on this scene.

Behind her, her family - the guardians of the star vein - are holding back.

They are powerful demons called legends on earth such as Tenryu, Holy Dragon, and Haunted Ghost.

The magic you feel is equal to or more than you are.

At first, I thought Uronus was the only one special, but it wasn't.

The star vein was a nest of monsters.

But...

"What is it, a demon on earth?

Everyone, including Uronus, is supposed to be a substandard monster, but compared to as many earthly dragons as the pebble sits in front of them, it makes them seem like they are too small.

She was so out of character that it seemed so.

That's Gibble.

That is the existence of the Divine Disaster Dragon King.

'Oh, my sister is lovely after all... haha...'

'... that's creepy'

"Seriously creepy sss. After all, Cisco hurts! Master Uronus! So why me all the time!?

With the three of them playing such a cont on their asses, he leaves one step ahead.

The colour of vigilance runs on the families who refrain behind the gibble.

'... what is it, a demon on earth?

But Gibble doesn't look upset.

It's as if you understand what he's going to say.

So he speaks.

What he wants.

On the spot, he signed up for a duel with Gibble.

I couldn't contain it.

This impulse.

This thought that I had been tickling from the moment I saw her that day.

I want to fight.

He wants to bump all of his power into this supreme and arguably ultimate being.

"How disrespectful! In the minutes of the demons on earth!" "Yes, turn around!" "Ahahahaha, do it, Azil is" "Hey, Master Uronus!? Laughing, hiffing me no more -" "Oh, I like the prestige inside..."

Naturally, the guardians of the star vein rebelled.

And he scolded him with a fool who could not help himself.

- Is that okay?

But Gibble accepted this in two replies.

Taking control of the guardians of the astonishing star range, Gibble responded to the battle against him.

"Now let's get started, demon on earth -"

And Gibble and his battle began,

- Lightly, he was defeated.

Just two seconds.

It is the time it took for Gibble to bog him down.

His family was blind.

The guardians of the star vein were just naturally nodding.

Lias and Joker looked worried and Uronus was grinning with his belly.

"Ahahahaha, you're an idiot. I don't even know if I'll get a minute with my sister."

That's what Uronus said to him when he was beaten to pieces.

What did they do?

I didn't even know that.

He was defeated without knowing anything about being attacked or getting bumped.

But what he thought in his fading consciousness was not remorse of defeat, nor fear of Gibble, but “relief”.

Oh, good.

After all, Gibble was strong.

For the first time in my life, I was blinded… "longed for" existence was so absolute that I was not far from it.

Yes, he admired Gibble.

Just once, I looked at its existence in a faraway winding.

But that was enough.

Everywhere, overwhelming power, a presence that did not attract all, and the families who trusted and gathered her, he admired all of it.

And on the occasion of this defeat he makes a certain determination.

One day - beyond that Divine Disaster Dragon King.

It was the first goal born in him.

A wall to be blinded, admired, and exceeded.

That's what Dragon King Gibble said to him.

'Then I ask you again, demons on earth. Are you willing to defend this star vein with us?

There was definitely no such thing.

He nodded.

"Then Azil the Imperial Beast, and his family. Let us welcome you into the dungeons of the star veins. Together, there is no protection for the star vein. '

Thus he became a member of the family of the star vein.

What was given to them was the eighth hierarchy.

The star vein is a dungeon of all ten tiers, each with a hierarchical guardian.

All of that is a divine catastrophe demon, Uronus said.

First tier guardian dream fog joker

Second tier guardian storm emperor Feel

Third Hierarchy Guardian Abyss Rigguld

Tianlong Yamu, guardian of the fourth tier

Fifth hierarchy guardian flame wing flaukan

Sixth hierarchy guardian saint dragon harsha rude

Seventh Hierarchy Guardian Fool Alto Parto

Ninth Hierarchy Guardian Black Ant Murus

Tenth Hierarchy Guardian Dead Dragon Uronus

So, the god disaster that binds them, Dragon King Gibble.

In principle, they're as strong as demons in the lower hierarchy.

Azil also looked at everyone, but most of them were crooked.

The moment we met, such as Saint Dragon, the Sixth Hierarchy Guardian, he said, 'There's a lowlife demon on earth!' And it's about time I tried to kill this one.

Some others were like lunatics who didn't know what they were thinking or didn't understand.

Some even had difficulty communicating their will.

Was it about the Joker, the Tenryu Yamu, and the Black Ant demons that say Murus or something that were relatively decent?

There's only one thing I can say for sure.

They are strong.

Far more than the demons on earth.

Especially Black Ant Murus and Dead Dragon Uronus.

These two literally had different degrees of strength.

Like Gibble, these two were beaten in a head-on battle.

The other guardians were just monsters that would soak up their feet at any rate depending on the tactics and circumstances.

But that's why I rolled.

He challenged the guardians to battle as long as he had time.

'- Ha, you're as stupid as ever, you are. Well, it's just too boring for me. "

That's what Tenryu Yamu said and accepted his challenge at any time.

'- Yeah!? Hey, give me a break, suss! I don't like it.' Cause, Mr. Azil, I don't know what to do. Oh, Mr. Riggrud, just great, Mr. Ajill and Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The Dream Mist Joker had been beaten by someone else in an attempt to push him into battle because the trouble smelled.

- The demons on earth can't live. Absolutely, abominable. Without the life of Lord Gibble and Lord Uronus, I will kill him immediately...!

That's what Saint Dragon Harsha said, he just kept him away depressingly.

'- Please don't be overly impotent. You're our family now, too. I'm harder than anything to see my family get hurt...'

That's what Black Ant Murus advised him worryingly as he dawned into battle with his guardian.

'- Well, shall we begin our training today, Azil? Ha ha, if you want to go beyond your sister, beat me first - oh, hey! No surprises.

Dead Dragon Uronus and I became best friends, fought the most, and competed with each other.

Best friend, it could have been the kind of relationship you could call.

I want to be stronger.

I want to be strong and someday surpass that Divine Disaster Dragon King.

With that thought in his chest, he and his family grew steadily.

At first it only lasted two seconds.

The next time I fought, I had ten seconds.

Thirty seconds after that.

The next minute, and the time we could be fighting Gibble, gradually grew.

It was fun.

It was a full day.

The other guardians gradually opened their minds to that attitude, which was straight everywhere.

Even that sturdy Saint Dragon Harsha ended up so deeply rooted in that attitude.

'Again, I'm glad you came to the star vein, Azil. Thanks to you, everyone is laughing more than before.'

Seeing the changing families, Gibble smiled happily.

That's what made him feel so awkward.

There was something warm sprouting in my chest.

The moon was flowing, accustomed to living in star veins, and able to speak with others at will.

Recognized, reciprocal position, a laughing-and-handed relationship.

It was a very comfortable and, above all, important place to protect.

The opponents to fight, the goals to exceed, the warmth of the family, the peace of mind - there was everything he wanted here.

Everything about it is loving and irreplaceable to him.

He was thankful from the bottom of his heart to Gibble and to Uronus for inviting him here.

But... is that why?

- I broke it with my own hands, Gibble, because I felt unforgivable.

He didn't understand.

her essence.

And the meaning of the star pulse dungeon.

- Zaza.

It was some wilderness there.

One woman was screaming.

'What is this... what is this about?! Why... why should he... Uronus be sealed!! Please, Master Gibble! Please reconsider!

That's Lias looking scratchy.

Next to it, there are also worn out jokers.

Joker has already passed out and Lias is lending him his shoulder.

'Isn't that obvious? He flipped an anti-flag against the star vein. Originally, I'm saying I'll just keep it to seal where it should have been killed. What is the dissatisfaction with that?

The answer is the Divine Disaster Dragon King Gibble.

She lifts her neck as she steps on the worn Uronus.

'No! Uronus didn't flip an anti-flag on you! So, didn't you just wish to go outside with you! And yet... and how could you... Huh!?

Neither can Gibble reach the voice of Lias, who screams desperately.

He could only watch the sight in silence.

There was nothing he could do that was eaten to the limit and worn out.

What the hell is going on?

How did this happen?

Remember... I did say something.

The moment he heard that one word, Uronus turned to Gibble like a person had changed.

But what? What the hell did I say?

"... Leah... S...?

'Uronus, wake up... Please wait! Help me now - Gaha'

The gibble just waves gently, and Lias is blown away.

'Shut up, Lias. I didn't mean to hurt you. - No, I did. You who lent a hand to Uronus are guilty of the same crime. Shall I punish you?'

That said Gibble muttered something to the fallen Uronus.

The moment I heard that, Uronus' complexion changed.

'Become... ya, stop it, sis! That's it! That's all you have to stop doing! It's all my fault! So give me Lias... memories with her...'

Gibble looked down with ruthless eyes everywhere screaming Uronus.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You weren't a human with those eyes.

He wasn't the kind of person who would raise his hand to his family for no reason.

He screamed, too.

He asked me to stop.

But I can't get that cry.

"- Goodbye, Uronus"

Bakun, and.

Something sounded eaten.

- Zazazazaza.

I wonder what the hell happened.

One day suddenly, Dead Dragon Uronus was sealed and Lias and Joker were banished from the star pulse.

He doesn't get it.

No... not exactly, I couldn't remember.

Something... I think I forgot something very important.

'I will not forgive you... Gibble, I will never forgive you...! I will definitely try to save Uronus one day......!

At the time of his departure, Lias' eyes burning with revenge were impressive.

But how could you just banish her like that?

What if the seal on Uronus is unsealed?

'If they solve it, then, then, then. And then she'll know what punishment means.'

That's what he said.

I didn't know why.

What do you mean, unsealing it leads to punishment?

What the hell did Uronus and the others do in the first place?

I can't remember.

'There's nothing to worry about. However, as always, you just have to think about protecting this star pulse with us...'

Gibble opens his mouth and chews something.

Oh, yeah.

This is where I am.

So I don't think about anything extra, just like this...

- Zazazazazazazazazazazaza.

Something's wrong.

Something changes a little bit.

- Zazazazazazazazazazazaza.

'... that's it, I'm leaving. I don't even want to be here for another second. "

Spitting, Tenryu Yamu declares to Gibble.

'I'm not the only one. Flaukan feels the same way. Temehe betrayed our trust. "

Even Yamu's sharp gaze doesn't move Gibble at all.

I was just listening to him in silence.

'... are you leaving, this star pulse?

It was a voice with a mixture of colours that seemed a little sad.

"Oh, according to the covenant, the power of the star pulse returns to Themé. So you're not complaining, are you?

'... what the hell are you unhappy about?

'... because Temehe doesn't get it, me and Flaukan are leaving here...!

Yamu, when he left, saw him.

"Bye, Azil. I spent the last few years with Temé, and it wasn't bad. '

- Zazazazazazazazazazaza.

Why not?

How did this happen?

- Zazazazazazazazazazaza.

- That's it, right?

What brings you so far?

Gibble looks at him with the look he comes up with.

"I will banish you, Azil the Imperial Beast. I will not allow you to return to the star pulse again. Go to earth. '

What are you talking about?

Back to the ground?

How could you?

What did you do?

Uronus was sealed, Lias and Joker left, Yamu and Flaukan left, Phil died, and many vacant guardians were put together with Murus, and you came hard.

Kushasra and Gurufan, who will be the next generation of fighting power, were also raised.

He's done everything he can to protect this place.

And yet, why?

'Right. Your accomplishments are enormous. You're from the earth, but you've done all you can for the star vein, and you're irreplaceable to me. "

Then...

'That's why I'm cutting you off. - For my petition. "

I didn't know what that meant.

So he resisted.

I turned everything I had cultivated into strength and challenged Gibble to battle.

Spunta, Henri, Zahark and the families who followed him cooperated.

The result is - thirteen hours.

It was by far the highest record.

And he and his family were banished from the star vein.

But... how the hell did we get banished?

The only thing that was in his head was that question.

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazaza.

After being banished to earth, he built up his strength, restored his gibble-eaten existence, and examined the star vein.

How did you find out?

Easy.

I used his “split."

his basic ability as a slime.

Before he was banished from the star vein, he left a few small splits in the star vein.

After careful overlapping, little by little, little by little, we looked into what had happened.

He himself gathered as much information as he could gather from the ground.

I haven't even met Yamu in hundreds of years.

The honorable tone was the same, but that was comforting to him.

I also found out that Lias and Joker were moving in secret.

The aim would be the resurrection of Uronus.

If I could, I wanted to make contact.

Because the purpose is the same.

In the process of investigating their whereabouts and star veins, they also collided with people.

In the process of gathering information, it was always the race that said it was humans who stood in their way.

They were called the Demon King's Army and became rumoured among the people that they were evil demons who controlled the earth.

Totally annoying.

At first we also discussed it, but gradually it turned into a feud, and it didn't take that long until it developed into a war.

In the process, there were some interesting pickups.

Previous life, it's also a woman with memories of another world.

Name's Leonaroid, Reynolds.

His name in his previous life was Lina Honjo.

He had eyes like he hated everything in the world.

He picked her up and welcomed her into his company.

'... that's strange. In a world like this, demons are more human than humans...'

It was a lot of irony, but I guess the environment she lived in was so bad.

Thanks to her knowledge, the Demon King's Army became dramatically stronger and the force map on the ground leaned towards them at once.

Be strong and be sure to go back.

That place - to the star vein.

Go to Gibble.

To see you again and talk properly.

To that end, they were empowering and sweeping the earth.

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza

There were four men and women in front of him.

An eyelid man with a red spear.

Blind Virgin dressed in white nuns.

A brunette man with a sword about his height in blue armor.

And a blonde brave man with the power of thunder.

"So Far...... Demon King Azil"

A brave man lays his sword and declares.

"The sin of suddenly descending on earth and threatening the peace of the people, I ask you to redeem me in this place now"

There was no stray in the eyes of the brave man.

I guess the brave think they're doing the right thing.

Well, certainly not wrong.

His actions were beneficial to the Demons, but nothing but a threat to humans.

- Come on, Demon King!

The brave men were strong.

Though the power of existence eaten by Gibble has recovered to some extent, the power of the brave was far beyond the limits allowed to man.

Good thing I broke my contract with Lena beforehand.

Because if I got involved, she would surely have died.

But how the hell did the brave man get so much power from this?

What the hell is this power... No, I recognize this power.

This is - "the power of the stellar vein”.

At that moment, he realized.

It was Gibble who created this human being.

Perhaps this brave man has no consciousness.

He must have turned to himself purely to help the humans.

Gibble used that thought.

I couldn't forgive it.

That dragon king had changed nothing.

But at the same time, questions arise.

If we want to get rid of ourselves, why didn't she move herself?

The star vein is rooted in everything on this earth.

If that bothered you, you could have done it at any time.

What the hell does it mean to leave it to the people who gave it power?

What's the reason for that?

He thinks.

Uronus seal.

Our own exile.

A man endowed with the power of a star vein - "the brave man".

And the information I've been collecting.

Light up all of that - he arrived.

To the whole truth.

Oh, well.

Is that what you said?

So, Gibble...

'That's it. Awwwwwwww!!

But it was too late to realize.

Already the sword of the brave had pierced his own chest.

Of the brave - no, the power of the star vein wipes out its existence.

A lighter light envelops one's body.

Is this... the power of the seal of the White Virgin?

I lost.

"Finally... Let Me Hear, Demon King"

The brave man has asked.

"What are you waging this war for? You... what did you fight for?

He will be silent.

Why...?

Right, if you insist -...

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza

How long has it been since it was sealed?

The guy suddenly appeared to him.

"- Long time no see, Mr. Azil. Do you remember me, S.?

Even if I remember.

Well, with your ability to alter the dungeon, you could have broken in here, even if it was still sealed.

"I've kept a message from Senior Lias, sss. It's time to fight back. Together we will revive Master Uronus and blow a bubble in Gibble, sss. '

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza

It was not long after the seal was unsealed.

"What's going on!? Why haven't you heard from Lord Lias!? Didn't Master Uronus resurrect in Imperial City?!?

"Dear Zahark! Oh, my God. I'm in now. Information indicates both Lias and Joker are dead. Master Uronus has been re-sealed. '

"No, silly......"

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza

'- Dear Azil, no doubt about it. Ever since that battle in Imperial Capital, the magic levels around our dungeons have been decreasing.'

'Dungeon's as it is... no, it will even make our lives difficult'

'Our king, make your decision. Sooner or later, if we are doomed, give them the last sign of our life.'

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza

It changes.

Everything.

There's only one thing that doesn't change.

Only that guardian dragon still sitting in the star vein.

Gibble... Gibble... Gibble...!

Wait.........!

I must... with this hand...

- Zazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazazaza

- Azil woke up.

"- Dreams...?

Azil, devoured of his magic and returned to the boy's appearance, fell into the desert in a state of nappiness.

"... alive, huh?

Azil ascertains his body.

It's worn out, but it's certainly my body.

Were you even looking at the horse lights until earlier?

'Oh, he's alive. It's lame, though.'

There was a response to the whining solitaire.

Just move your face and see who speaks.

There were two dragons.

Next to it was Lena, and behind it were all sorts of demons.

"... Mr. Earth, and Kadias? Why am I alive?

With most of his neck lost, he ate an oversized brace with the power of bulimia and thunder on it.

I thought he was dead for sure. As strange as it is to be alive.

'I don't know. But this is the only part left without my braces eating me. "

A sphere was held in the hand of the earth.

It is the demonic nucleus of Saint Dragon Harsha.

I guess the flesh of Azil was slightly creeping up.

Azil is a slime of immortality.

I can regenerate it if I have any flesh pieces left.

But I can't believe it's the last time, and the person who killed me will protect me.

What an ironic story.

"Oh well, did I lose..."

Phew and exhale loudly.

"You kind of look like you should have died. Not even like you, Azil."

"Lena......"

Move only your neck and look at her.

The plain black hair is soot and dirty, the glasses are cracked and the clothes are worn out.

"... That said, you looked like that the first time I saw you"

Although the situation was the opposite.

Then Lena Lloyd makes her mouth squint a little.

This is your fault.

"Ha, right..."

Azil laughs at Lena staring at this one resentfully.

"... so you asked me before you fought.“ What do you fight for? "

"Yeah, you heard. You promised me you'd tell me when I beat you?

"You did..."

Azil deflects his gaze from Lena and looks up at the void.

Slowly, Azil tries to extend his worn right hand into the sun.

But there was no power, and his hand fell on the way.

"... there's no reason not to. I just wanted to reclaim the past... It was fun, more than anything,“ us ”back then..."

…………

"- It doesn't seem to come true anymore..."

With a large tear, Azil admitted defeat.

The battle is over.
