Thats impossible.
What?
Wolfe said painstakingly, to which Aur questioned.
I cannot kill that thing.
Because its not a dragon?
If his opponent was a dragon, it was a guaranteed kill for him. That was the heroic spirit Wolfes ability as the Dragon Slayer. That ability could be applied on broader terms. In other words, he was able to destroy lesser dragons or dragon spirits and the like.
No, it is in fact a dragon. There is no doubt about it.
So the opponent they were facing was indeed a dragon.
The one who said that was none other than Wolfe himself.
Then, why
Its simple.
The King of Heroes twisted his face. There was a drop of sweat on his forehead.
That thing is stronger than dus and . Thats all there is to it.
It was an expression of fear. Brave and resolute, he would normally kill his opponent without hesitation, even if it was the most ancient of dragons. This man, who was praised as the strongest in the world, was now afraid.
Run. Ill buy you so ti.
He drew his sword from his back. He was clothed fully in white, and the only thing that was shining in a silver color was his precious sword, Front.
The dragon responded to it. Even with its countless scales overlapping one another, its body moved smoothly and silently as it raised its gigantic head.
Hurry! I cant hold it for long!
The King of Heroes shouted, then jumped as he raised his sword.
With a strike that could easily split a rock in two, he brought the sword down on the dragons head
In the next instant, the sword broke from the hilt and flew away.
Father!
Run, Yunis!
There was a loud thud as a large arm rolled on the ground.
It was the arm that destroyed countless giants and fell many dragons. The arm of the esteed King of Heroes.
That was all that remained.
Everything else, including his soul, was being devoured by the dragon.
No, how can this
Yunis, get a hold of yourself! Teleport now!
They couldnt afford to let Wolfes sacrifice be in vain.
Aur shook Yunis by the shoulder as she stood and looked dumbfounded.
No.
She shook her head lifelessly.
I cant telepo-
The dragon was chewing and mincing her head.
Blood spurted out in its place, staining Aurs face in pure red.
He was cornered by crimson eyes shining like flas in the darkness.
He could hear the sound of breathing from every direction.
The dragon slowly opened its frightening jaws
Then, Aurs body was ripped into pieces.
Well, thats about it.
It cant be
Lilu mumbled in shock when hearing Thenas prediction.
What should we do, youre gonna die, Aur!
Calm yourself, you fool.
Lilu was grabbing onto Aurs sleeves as if clinging onto him. Aur tapped her head lightly.
However, even he couldnt remain calm in the face of this prediction.
Wolfe, the King of Heroic Spirits, was undoubtedly the strongest asset in Aurs army.
It was difficult to believe that there was an opponent that he was helpless against.
But the very fact that Lilu was so shaken was proof that Thena wasnt lying.
Is there a way to stand victorious against it?
Yes indeed. If you challenge it a year later, you will be able to defeat it, though you will have to offer a sacrifice.
Are you referring to Mary?
Aur asked with a pain expression. Thena nodded in response.
But we can no longer afford a years delay. If we continue to fight like this, it will be just as predicted.
Thats your fault.
Aur gave in to his anger, pulling her cheeks.
They were soft and flexible, and seed to stretch to no limit.
The reason they couldnt afford to delay much longer was because Thena refused to sacrifice Yutsu.
In turn, Aur initiated the battle with That One earlier than planned. Thus, if things remained as they were, they would lose due to lack of war potential. It was an unnecessary inconvenience for Aur.
Then in the anti, I shall prepare a sacrifice and buy so ti. I dont suppose it will have to be Yutsu.
If they simply wanted a girl of purity, Aur had a few people in stock.
If that is how it goes the future will mostly remain on its original course.
Thena said gravely while soothing her cheeks. In the end, they would have to sacrifice another girl besides Mary. Even though it was for the sake of her own granddaughter, she felt guilty about it.
I will probably tell you sothing important. What will it be?
Thena looked puzzled, and focused her ditation. She would have to find out what, when, and where he would tell her. It was normally a difficult task.
Most likely, it will be right before the battle against That One.
If Aur had noticed it, then Thena could spend little ti in finding the ti and location.
Raise Sofia well. Tell that to my past self.
What does that an?
Thena smiled broadly and boldly.
Well, I have no idea.
She replied.
Are you toying with ?
Wait wait wait! Its your fault, you know!
Thena shouted in panic as the Demon King grabbed her by the collar.
Its because you wont tell anything! Youll just say that youll understand once I tell you.
Hmm.
Aur released his grip, causing Thena to slip and fall on her butt and yelp.
All right. I wont sacrifice anyone.
What? What are you saying? You will et the sa end even though you have started the war early.
Thena mumbled with her eyes wide open. This ability of hers is just as convenient as it is annoying, Aur thought.
Perhaps it was annoying because the future Aur would choose not to divulge extra information.
In the first place, Aur had no intention of making any aningless sacrifices.
Using that ntality as a precondition, he was able to obtain the end result through her foresight.
Thus, he was able to minimize the ti taken to reach its conclusion.
Next on his agenda was to avoid a future in which Mary would be sacrificed.
By the way, how long do you intend to keep in this form?
Thena asked in dissatisfaction while Aur was deep in thought.
The other villagers had returned to their original forms, but Thena was still in her rejuvenated form.
You can see the future, so you should know, right?
As far as I can see, I will remain like this
Thena said, looking disappointed.
It would be troubling if you died suddenly after reverting to your original age. I shall have you
remain like this for the ti being. And surely you would be better off with this young and beautiful flesh instead of that old and inconvenient body of yours.
Beautiful H-how would I be better off?!
In response to Aurs plain explanation, Thena shouted in embarrassnt.
Why are you so adamant all of a sudden, even though you were so straightforward last night?
Y-youre wrong! That was just your imagination! You must be mistaken!
Thena desperately shook her head in denial.
If Im mistaken, then look at this.
However, the distant past was reflected in her eyes.
What will happen to you after this?
It was a reflection of her surrendering herself completely once again.
