The Journey of the Overlord

"So, what is your intention in stopping my battle?"

Az-Dakha opened his mouth to question and interrupt his own fighting words, but Az-Dakha wouldn't let it go easily if he didn't have some justifiable reason.

Some of the other demons on the side were nervous and worried that the Demon King would clash with Az-Dakha, while others were happy and hoped that the Demon King would clash with Az-Dakha.

"Your Excellency Az-Dakaha, I have no intention of interrupting your fight with [Red Dragon Emperor], but please listen to me as well."

Sazekos didn't choose to fight, but instead chose to persuade.

"Your Excellency Az Dakaha, [Red Dragon Emperor] has wanted you to challenge him, but his power can be said to be completely failing at this time, not only me as the Demon King, but even my sister, his master, Lias, may not be able to defeat him, so at this time he challenges you and you accept his challenge, the result is simple, he will be killed directly by you, this type of challenge, either Red Dragon Emperor, oh, I'm talking about Red Dragon Emperor Dreger here, or you should both be bored."

"This generation's [Red Dragon Emperor] Hyodo Issei challenged you to die, then the result is just that he died, his artifact that boarded Red Dragon Emperor Dreger [Red Dragon Emperor's Caged Hand] will be transferred and boarded into another human's soul again, in that case, Red Dragon Emperor Dreger's challenge can be said to be meaningless, and your acceptance of the challenge is meaningless, after all, Hyodo Issei was In place of Emperor Red Dragon, he challenged you as [Emperor Red Dragon], didn't he?"

"So I would like you to wait for a little while until Hyoto Issei can exert the power of the Akatsuki Emperor before challenging you, that would be a true substitute for the Akatsuki Emperor Draeger, no?"

Aziz Dakaha didn't look at Sazekos after hearing that, but instead looked at Hyogo Issei, and being looked at by Aziz Dakaha like that, Hyogo Issei gulped again.

Sazex's meaning was clearly that he wanted Az-Dakaha to let go of Hyoto Issei now, because the Hyoto Issei who challenged Az-Dakaha on behalf of the Red Dragon Emperor Dreger didn't have the power at the level of the Red Dragon Emperor at all, and the challenge couldn't represent Dreger either, so in order for Hyoto Issei to be able to truly do what he did in place of Dreger and challenge Az-Dakaha, he needed a period of time to grow, and after he had grown to a certain level and was able to exert the power of Dreger [Red Dragon Emperor's Cage Hand], it wouldn't be too late to challenge Az-Dakaha.

Because by then, his value will have been reached, and even if he is killed by Az-Dakha, Sazekos won't care too much, until then, he must exert his value as [Red Dragon Emperor] to the demons, and his value as a dependant to Lias.

Of course, if Az Dakaha didn't exist, Sazekos might not think so, perhaps he would cultivate the [Red Dragon Emperor], Kazushige Hyodo, properly, but now if he was deadly rivals with an existence like Az Dakaha, then there was no point in thinking, Sazekos couldn't touch Az Dakaha for Kazushige Hyodo, even if he wanted to save face, he couldn't pander, it was still up to the person, an existence like Az Dakaha who could take out a demon as a race by himself was an existence that had to be pandered to, not to mention Az Dakaha still had a [Infinite Dragon God] Orpheus by his side.

"That's right, that's right, Your Excellency Az Dakaha, I, as Issei's master, would also like to request you to stop for the time being and give Issei some time to grow up to be familiar with the power of the [Red Dragon Emperor's Cage Hand] and be able to exert a level equivalent to the Red Dragon Emperor, at that time I will let him challenge you again, I think only then can I be more representative of the true Red Dragon Emperor Deluge, Your Excellency Az Dakaha you! And would be more than happy to do so, wouldn't it?"

Liias stood in front of Hyoudou Issei, requesting Az-Dakaha, and then looked at Issei, or to be precise, Issei's armor, the emerald on the [Caged Hand of the Red Dragon Emperor].

"I think that's what Dreger-sama thinks, even though it's a challenge, the master who uses you has to be able to actually qualify for the challenge, doesn't he?"

"Yes, I agree with that."

Dreger's voice came out of the hand armor.

"It takes a while for a partner to grow to use my power, so I agree with you."

Dreger knew very well that for Kazushige to fight Az-Dakaha now would be a death wish, and he didn't expect Kazushige Hyodo to defeat Az-Dakaha now in the first place, he just said it was a challenge, and so did Kazushige Hyodo, who phased to help Dreger avenge his death and help him defeat Az-Dakaha, who killed him, so he agreed to the challenge, except that the challenge meant to fight Az-Dakaha in the future, not to start a fight now.

Az-Dakaha's habit was the kind that if he said he'd fight, then he'd fight now, and that's why Az-Dakaha would just withdraw his illusion and turn into his original form to prepare for Hyoto Issei's attack.

Seeing that the guys who challenged him had said so, Az-Dakaha didn't choose to fight anymore, but agreed with them, after all, it wasn't 'Absolute Evil' now Az-Dakaha didn't have to have to take out the other guy, and though it was his habit to fight without saying anything, there was no need for that now.

"Then, I will stop for now."

Hearing Az-Dakaha say that, both Liaz and Sazekos breathed a sigh of relief, most of the demons sent a sigh of relief, glad that there wasn't a fight, the old demon faction looked like it was a pity, and the most important one, Hyogo Issei, breathed a big sigh of relief as well.

"But I have made a pact with thee."

Az-Dakha then spoke.

"Thou art my challenger, then I make a pact with thee that I will accept thy challenge when thou hast mastered the power!"

"And then I will grant thee absolute glory!"

Sazex nodded happily.

"Then, so be it."

'What about the delay in the death of the [Red Dragon Emperor].'

Chapter 30: Death! Master Long is watching a cartoon!

The so-called devil swords are the swords that are boarding this powerful power, because the power they possess is often very powerful and stained with blood and looks very evil, so they are called devil swords. A human being is called a magical swordsman. And the opposite of a magic sword is called a holy sword.

The so-called holy swords are swords with the same powerful power as the devil swords, they are often called swords of justice, with the attributes of light and righteousness, but in fact that is only eulogized by people, even the holy swords are also stained with human blood, right? For example, among the most famous holy swords in Europe, [EX-calibur], [Durandal] and so on, these two swords are very famous holy swords, one is the sword of King Arthur, and the other is the sword of the heroic Paladin Roland, these two swords have unique stories in mythological or historical stories, of course, these two holy swords are also real and stained with blood, just like someone! Like I said, the sword is a weapon! That's why a powerful sword is even more of a powerful weapon!

Of course holy swords can also degenerate into magic swords, for example, the most famous example is Lancelot, the chief [Knight of the Lake] of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur, who held a holy sword of the same level as King Arthur's [EX-calibur], the [Destroyless Lake Light], but because he killed the other Knights of the Round Table, it degenerated into a magic sword, which is a well-known story.

This incident, however, had nothing to do with Lancelot's [Ruinless Lake Light], but rather had to do with the [EX-calibur] held by King Arthur, whom Lancelot served.

In this world, King Arthur existed, [EX-calibur] also existed, and the story of [EX-calibur] in this world was still different from the story of other worlds, the [EX-calibur] that was King Arthur's sword and possessed the name of the most powerful holy sword was broken, and the Church used the pieces of King Arthur's broken [EX-calibur] to create six replicas of [EX-calibur] and gave them to six people chosen by the Church to use, and the chosen people were called holy sword messengers.

Over time, the six holy swords had been scattered all over the place, and now someone wanted to gather them all together and combine them to recreate the strongest holy sword [EX-calibur]!

Underworld, the demon's territory, Demon King Leviathan Seraphim's home, because Seraphim is responsible for taking care of Orpheus' relationship, so Orpheus and Az Dakaha this 'father and daughter' two are living here, of course, mainly to give Orpheus a comfortable environment, Az Dakaha is indifferent, he said that even if living in the magma is also indifferent, he does not because the environment in which he is bad will not affect their mood, and he also does not need to slumber or anything else, basically rest is to sit cross-legged.

And Seraphim, who was in charge of taking care of Orpheus, put a lot of effort into making Orpheus and Aziz Dakaha happy, such as showing Orpheus and Aziz Dakaha the live-action animation that she starred in, teaching Orpheus how to transform into a magical girl, and taking Orpheus to concerts and such, after all, she was an icon of the underworld and there were a lot of concerts.

And Orpheus is amused, especially with Seraphim's more lively kind of personality and Orpheus' like retarded intelligence, the two of them... No, these two demons and dragons get along very well, especially the concerts, Orpheus seems to like this kind of activities, and even asked to participate, and Seraphim naturally had to agree, so the previous concert with only one Seraphim turned into a concert with both Orpheus and Seraphim, and over time, Orpheus even began to gather popularity, and has the tendency to become the second idol of the underworld.

When there was no concert and no need to travel, Orpheus would stay at home on Az-Dakha's shoulder and watch cartoons, which was one of the more comforting and surprising points for Seraphim, because not only Orpheus, but also Az-Dakha seemed to enjoy watching cartoons, and every time he came home, Az-Dakha would sit cross-legged in front of the TV and stare at it very seriously, and just watch cartoons, even if it was a late night animation, he would not fall behind.

Orpheus, as soon as she came back, would lie on Az-Dakha's shoulders, so she would also watch along, and when she felt sleepy, she would climb down and lie on Az-Dakha's crossed thighs, and then pull the 'evil' flag over Az-Dakha's back to cover her sleeping, Az-Dakha didn't care if she saw her doing this, she would just look at it, help her cover it up and would continue to watch the cartoon.

Some people might be as curious as Seraphim as to why a being like Az-Dakha would enjoy watching cartoons, isn't that a joke?

However, this is not a joke, the reason why Aziz Dakaha is watching the cartoon is not to watch any of those anime episodes, but to be shocked and animated.

At first, Aziz Dakaha was not interested in such things because Seraphim recommended it and Orpheus liked the anime, then Orpheus was dragging Aziz Dakaha along with him when he watched it, so Aziz Dakaha could barely watch it, but he still found it boring, until he saw an anime titled "Problem Children Are From A Different World" and he was shocked!

How the characters in it were the ones you knew best, the Reverse Sixteen Nights who called himself Master Ben, the Black Rabbit of the [Box Court Aristocrats], the [Box Court Knights] of the purebred vampires, and the Starling White Nightmare of the Sun and White Nights! Each one of these was a presence he knew and was familiar with! And the box court spoken of in the cartoon was the same box court that he was in, so after seeing the cartoon, Aziz Dakaha immediately pursued the shift.

Then he learned about the experiences of Sixteen Nights and the others before they encountered him, and also saw how Sixteen cried after he was killed by Sixteen Nights, and couldn't help but feel that the original third universe view established as a crossroads of the multiverse was also mapped onto other worlds, and it was also mapped in the form of an animated film, which made Aziz Dakaha secretly wonder.

And in the story, he is not resurrected, that is, it's the Box Court that was not destroyed by his own crusade, and the Second Solar Sovereignty War will start as usual, and the brother of the Sixteen Nights will get the [Mock Divine Grid - Star Bull Thunder], but now it's become his own, and the Solar Sovereignty of Taurus as well as the [Mock Divine Grid - Star Bull Thunder] is his own.

And now, as usual, Az-Dakaha was watching "Problem Children Are From A Different World", a late-night cartoon that was only shown late at night, to see how the plot of the down box court would play out when Seraphim suddenly burst out of the room.

Then the silver-haired maid beside Sazekos suddenly appeared in front of Seraphim, opening her hands.

"Please calm down, Seraphil-sama, you'll really be trapped if you go out like this!"

"Gurefia! Get out of my way! So what if the calculation is a trick! How dare they hurt Coyna! I calculate that war against the fallen angels will not spare them!"

Seraphim, clearly in a state of nonchalance, yelled at Gurefia.

The yelling woke up Orpheus, who was sleeping on Az-Dakha's lap, and Orpheus got up from Az-Dakha's lap and lay down on top of Az-Dakha, peeking over his shoulder and looking at the bickering Gurefia and Seraphil in confusion.

"Livia Charcoal, what's going on?"

Chapter 31, Kirkpatrick's Disaster Day

As mentioned earlier, the strongest holy sword, King Arthur's sword [EX-calibur] broke, and the Church used the fragments of [EX-calibur] to recreate six replicas of the holy sword [EX-calibur] and gave them to six holy sword angels for practical use, and as time went on, these holy swords were scattered all over the place, and now someone wanted to gather them together and recreate them together into the strongest holy sword [EX-calibur]!

And Kirkbor, the guy who wants to do this, is not a human, but a fallen angel, Kirkbor, a ten-winged fallen angel who survived the ancient tripartite war, he is a fanatical war-monger who has been very disgruntled ever since the tripartite war ceased in a big way, so he tries to find a way to start a war again.

He had taken several holy swords [EX-calibur] from the church and wanted to get the attention of the angelic leader Michael, so that the angels would send someone against him, and because he was a ten-winged fallen angel, he definitely needed a ten-winged or above level existence, those were big cadres now, and when they appeared, it would be a battle between the two forces, it would be war, and then his goal would be achieved.

However, the angelic side didn't seem to give a damn, neither Michael nor Gabriel appeared, no, the angelic side also made a move, it was just a matter of having a few holy sword messengers from the church come to crusade against him, which didn't interest him at all, and rather than coming to crusade against him, it was more like coming to give him the few remaining holy swords [EX-calibur].
