Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

103 – Part 3 Episode 5

“hahahaha!”

“Why are you laughing so much?”

Kiriya, who was summoned by the Dragon Lord and was alone, looked at the Lord who suddenly burst into laughter and asked.

“No, Pluto.”

“Pluto?”

Dragon’s Gorge is Lord’s realm.

Every little thing that happens in this land, such as a word or two of conversation, goes into Lord’s ears.

“They say the dragons have a dark future.”

“Isn’t that right?”

From Kiriya’s point of view, the future of the Balaur is not very bright.

Apart from the strength of the lord, two of the 4 ancient dragons located right below him left the dragon’s canyon. One is dead

Excluding the 4 ancient dragons, there are a total of four remaining dragons, one more following the emperor and the other a young boy with no blood left on his head.

In the end, aren’t Lord, Pluto, and the two siblings red and blue all of the Balaur’s strength?

“No, what. It is, but.”

At Kiriya’s candid remark, Rod made a gloomy expression for a moment, then recovered and said.

“Well, actually, wasn’t it Pluto that provided the decisive opportunity?”

During the civil war, Pluto killed the elder and all the dragons who were against him.

Since dozens of young dragons and four old dragons died, it would be correct to say that Pluto contributed greatly to the bleak future of dragons.

Cancer, cancer. Is there not much wrong with me?

“… You should have dried it.”

“Me? Why?”

Kiriya let out a sigh at the sight of Lord, who bluntly responded as if he had done nothing wrong.

“All right, load. A great war, won’t it come out?”

“Maybe?”

After…

I let out a sigh, but in fact this was what Kiriya had expected.

The two have known each other since before the Great War broke out.

I knew long ago that there was nothing but fun and interest in that Lord’s head.

If Rod sets out to protect the continent.

Such assumptions are meaningless.

“But, Kiri, is there anything you need to worry about? I’m sure he’s never fought death, but he’s an idiot who even lost to the World Tree.”

“… They weren’t allies back then.”

In the past, during the Great War.

Darkness led its forces and competed with Kiriya for supremacy, and the Demon God also reigned as the lord of one force, leading the demons led by the Demon King.

Death also went against several lower deities and advanced into the forest of the beginning, so all three are separate forces.

There were times when we cooperated, but there were times when we kept each other in check, and there were times when we clashed directly.

If they joined hands, they would be much more threatening than in the past.

“That’s right… uh?”

On rare occasions, the Dragon Lord put on a puzzled expression.

Kiriya, who was surprised at the same time, asked him.

“What’s up?”

“We have guests.”

“A guest?”

“My kids are still fine… Whales are fighting too. Ha ha ha… Could it be that he came in hiding instead of attacking from the front? That mighty substitute?”

“It’s a substitute case… no way?”

“Darkness has come to my canyon.”

—————————————————————————————

“Is this the dragon’s gorge?”

I heard the location from Death, who cooperated with the evil dragon Nidhogg.

The sea guarded by whales has not yet been breached, but the owner of all the darkness in the world exists.

He hoped that the moon would close its eyes and the night would darken.

It’s embarrassing to take advantage of that opportunity to hide on the continent, but it’s not impossible.

I didn’t.

The continent, which had already been mixed with mythology, did not reject the old gods.

No, even if it was rejected.

Man, the darkness had the power to defy it all.

“Ah, Lord. Can you hear me?”

The man muttered as he walked aimlessly with his foot in the canyon.

“I can hear you. Long time no see?”

Darkness smiled at Rod’s reply as if he were greeting an unexpected friend.

How many dragons were killed by him during the Great War, but Lord was still like that.

Well, on the other hand, there are not a few subordinates who were killed by the ancient dragons.

“I’m sorry for coming without notice. I heard that an old friend is here, so I risked my disrespect to come here.”

“Old friends? Are you Kiri?”

“Yes. If it’s okay, I’d like to say hello.”

“Okay! There are many interesting friends besides Kiriya, would you like to meet them?”

“I like it.”

Perhaps there are emperors, warriors, and other gods and dragons.

It doesn’t matter though. I’m not here to fight today.

Well, even if we do joint work over there, I have the confidence to lose weight.

The man, the master of darkness.

Nocturne walked towards the center of the gorge, guided by the rod.

—————————————————————————-

“You came quickly. I thought you two would have more to talk about.”

Kiriya, who went to Rod, returned faster than expected.

“… Emperor. Remember our enemies?”

“Speaking of those beasts, aren’t they demons, darkness, and death?”

“Darkness has come here, in the dragon’s canyon.”

“… What?”

No, I heard that the seaward wire hasn’t been pierced yet.

But why is one of the enemy commanders suddenly coming?

No, wait.

Now here are three ancient dragons, grand dukes, and four including me.

God.

“A chance. We can reduce the enemy general here.”

“That is difficult, Laios.”

“… Why? Because this is the domain of the Dragon Lord? Are you saying he won’t allow it?”

“That is not true. Rod will just watch whatever happens.”

Pluto, the black dragon who lightly denied my guess, said with a calm expression.

“Darkness is fast. And secretive again. Even if he can’t kill us all, it won’t be hard to escape if there’s a fight.”

“… If so, isn’t it dangerous? If he gets out of here and explores the continent alone… “

Then who will stop it?

Assuming the worst situation, if the power of darkness is at Kiriya’s level, the current system will not be able to withstand.

Giel and Peltz are not enough, can they survive even if all the Masters including the Lion King are gathered together? Add Sarion to that…

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

It was unexpectedly Zephyrus, the god of wind, who cut off my thoughts.

“Nocturne, that friend is not that kind of person. Perhaps the reason we came all the way here is simply to say hello?”

“I agree with Zephyros’s guess. Nocturne is an aristocratic person if you compare him to a human. Ah, Nocturne is the name of darkness.”

“… I know you well.”

“Well, before the war, I got along quite well with Nocturne. There’s something more in common than I thought. Kiriya-ya, well, we were kind of like rivals.”

“You… ?”

Well, he’s not treated well among the old dragons, and his personality is stupid.

That’s right, Zephyrus was by no means a weak god.

It’s definitely stronger than Sarion, and I don’t think I’ll be pushed back even if I fight head-on with the old dragons.

Why is the personality of such a strong person like that?

Unfortunately, my doubts were not resolved due to the approaching aura of a supposedly dark being.

“It’s been a while, Kiriya. And there are many familiar faces.”

The darkness hasn’t been revealed yet, but his voice resonates clearly.

“Nocturne… “

“Nocturne! How are you?”

“Zephyros, please think and speak. How many years have you been confined outside the continent?”

“…… “

“Just kidding, the light doesn’t shine, so after all, that place is also my territory, so I had a good time. Nice to see your face It’s been a long time since our dragon friends.”

“Nocturne, may I ask you something?”

“Of course, you can ask any number of questions. Pluto.”

“After the great war ended and you were imprisoned, I thought that death

When I reached out to the continent again. I thought you and the demon were both dead. If not, I figured you two wouldn’t be watching the death thing set it up.”

“Um… Actually, that’s kind of embarrassing.”

After a light sigh, Nocturne said.

“Still, there was no way. Even though I was defeated once, I was still alive. How long can you not give up? To plan the continent again, I needed the help of death.”

“Are you thinking of giving up right now?”

“… You are the emperor It’s amazing, it’s been a few years since I’ve reached transcendence, but it’s this level. I don’t think Lausin had gotten stronger that fast either. Well, it still seems to be weaker than Lausin. “

Nocturne looked at me with admiration, then said with great pity.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. Because we don’t think that our power is short, and we can’t stay out there forever. I joked about it earlier, but it’s not a very nice place to live. To the extent that the subordinates who did not reach transcendence died after ten years.”

Nocturne’s tone, when he said that, contained neither vengeance nor nostalgia. It was just a little bit of his self-reproach.

I thought it was a peculiar personality, but among powerful beings, those with a normal personality were rarer, so I thought it was not particularly strange, and I brought out what I had been thinking about for several days.

“Then, do you intend to join hands with Jim to face death? In that case, I will give you my own territory. I’m not asking you to come under water. Form an alliance.”
