With a thunderous sound, my vision beca completely white.
-Have I died?
I imdiately used the all-changing black claw that the God of the Hunt gave but against a Demon King Commander, it shouldn’t have been possible to block the attack.
So that ans this blank white view I currently see is the hell that people who waste food arrive at.
「Ugh… I don’t have any regrets but I’m just worried about Rēko, I wonder if Ariante will follow up with “The Lord Evil Dragon is returning ho to the underworld for now”… I don’t know why but if it’s that girl, then I feel she’ll probably co pick up from hell.」
The next mont, the white view started to regain colour.
The colour that I saw next was the colour of the grass weeds that was piled around my feet.
That wasn’t all. As if it was like mist, the white gradually faded away, the surroundings returned to the vibrant grass plains.
From the rough feeling I’m getting from the white mist, I realized it turned out to be just sand dust.
「Ahahahaha! That’s it! I knew that with just this, it wouldn’t even force you to move a step, Revendia!」
As my vision cleared up, I could see the handso demon hijacked by the demon who nad herself weaver sothing, laughing loudly.
In her posture, facing toward , I saw a straight line of tracks left behind by that shockwave and just before it reached , those tracks disappeared.
As if sothing blocked the attack.
「Are you okay Lord Evil Dragon?」
Asked Sheina who ran back to after jumping away from that attack.
「I’m sohow fine. Ah, was it perhaps you that blocked that attack?」
「Eh? No? I couldn’t have offset that kind of attack. Wasn’t it Lord Evil Dragon that used so kind of hidden technique?」
「…Ah! That’s right. Did you know? That if I do misdeeds, my evil dragon power will increase. Wasn’t I tearing through the grass before?」
That was dangerous. Monts before it hit, in those final monts, I rembered the teachings of the Saintess which saved .
However Sheina just looked at with a weird, astounded (and at the sa ti) dumbfounded expression.
「Ex-excuse Lord Evil Dragon. I don’t understand the relation between committing criminal acts and weeding…」
「Weeding?」
As I spoke, I flashed back to the training I did with the Saintess.
The days where I stepped into the wasteland filled with weeds, the sweat that flowed while I weeded like no tomorrow, sotis people from the base would co bless with barley tea and say “You’ve worked hard”. Those were extrely fulfilling tis.
「Hahhh?! Now that I think about it, wasn’t that just weeding?!」
I covered my head with my front legs as if I received a shock to the head.
「…Yeah, as expected you’re the body double of the real Evil Dragon Revendia, right Lord Evil Dragon? It’s a wonder how you made it out alive.」
「You’re wrong! I’m in so sort of way the real Revendia but…」
「It’s ok, I’ll keep it a secret. Do your best okay?」
「Ye-yeah… Thank you, I’ll do my best.」
While tears were flowing like rivers down my face, I heard booing from the sidelines.
「Wait up! You! That human! I just got excited over the fight with Revendia, don’t get in the way. Learn your place and stand back as the audience! Or would you rather die now?」
「Ho-hold on Ms. Weaver or whatever, I didn’t have any fighting intent in the first place. In fact the rebellion is actually a misunderstanding, I was just thinking it was about ti I went to greet the Demon King, let’s all sit down and have a peaceful talk okay?」
「You’re at it again! You suck at lying!」
Just like a mannequin controlled with string, she pointed at with unnatural movents.
「That’s not sothing you say while your magic power is gushing out like that Revendia.」
My eyes t with Sheinas eyes, and realized at almost the sa ti.
From my body, I emitted a power much like Rēko, an evil and powerful magic.
Could it be? That by using this power, I powered up my black claws and managed to block that attack.
「I’m getting excited. Really excited…! We couldn’t face each other while we were on the sa side but now you’re an enemy. I don’t know what kind of crazy ideas you have to side with the humans but I’ve gotta thank that whimsical move of yours!」
Ms.Weaver heated up but on the other hand, I still couldn’t hide my confusion.
「Eh? What the hell’s happening? Can weeding really bring out my inner evil dragon power? If I say so myself, aren’t the conditions a bit ridiculous?」
「Hey Lord Evil Dragon, can you tell about that in more detail? Can I get stronger by weeding grass? If that’s the case I’ll pull them all out.」
「Please don’t co out with such a weird desire in the current situation.」
「Shaaa! This ti not only my pinky, but I’ll also use my third finger. It seems like you also have so leisure left, let’s raise the tempo little by little!」
At the sa ti as the joyful voice rang out, the magic power coming from the strings in the sky beca brighter resulting in the feeling of oppression coming from the mannequin increasing.
The already unconscious Ikun got on all fours like a beast, emitting purple ominous aura.
It’s finally becoming serious, as I was starting to tremble.
「Mountain, high.」
I heard a voice from the top of my head.
Not sure when but the spirit took off the blindfold and stood on my head.
「Yo-you, since when?」
「Mountain, to question.」
「Question? You also have questions to ask?」
「Self question, self reply.」
It’s no use. Don’t know what the hell it’s saying. Only, it’s better than usual since it didn’t start biting .
「For now, don’t move from there. Sheina and I will try our best to escape safely.」
「I won’t let you run!」
A despairing declaration, the mannequin disappeared. Then we heard a trendous sound of sprinting and footsteps that wrecked the earth starting to run around us in circles.
The circle then started shrinking around Sheina and I.
「Mountain, run away.」
As I thought all escape routes were blocked, a carefree voice resounded on my head. Well, it’ll be easy if only we could escape however reality doesn’t always go your way.
We heard a tekutekuteku sound.
The spirit muttered, my legs started to move by themselves into a random direction. It was as if I was under a suggestion.
「It’s dangerous Lord Evil Dragon!」
「I-I-I Know! Stop! My legs!」
「Mountain, stop.」
As Sheina started pulling my huge tail and as I started shouting, the weird mutterings stopped.
「Wh-what happened just now…」
Even now the weaver was laughing loudly and the circle was closing in on us.
Then, Sheina started looking between the spirit and .
「Hey, Lord Evil Dragon.」
「What is it?」
After a mont of awkwardness, said.
「If I’m not wrong, that spirit is confusing Lord Evil Dragon as a part of a mountain?」
