Dragon’s Bloodline

He wasnt negligent. However, he was stupid.

He shouldnt have come to Lemdria after all.

That he had to fight against those monstrous people

In a literal frantic mood, Halt fled from his pursuers.

(I was careless since nothing bads happened recently~!)

Dashing through forests and plains, he finally reached the wilderness.

No, it wasnt even a wilderness.

It was a place where no living things existed at all. In its center was a crater of gargantuan proportions.

Of the place where the imperial capital once stood, this was all that was left. Of the three million inhabitants that lived there, this was all that was left.

As he tried to escape from there, he realized that he wasnt be able to.

They got here before him. No, maybe they were pushing him here from the start?

There was a magical barrier. He couldnt even teleport and immediately knew who made it from just how strong it was.

Azel, Al-san too?

Both were called Great Sages, the strongest mages in the continent.

And as for who was approaching him from behind

Halt, theres no use in trying to run anymore.

Shana. A scarlet-haired mage that used the strongest destruction magic.

Well, you went a bit too far.

Longsword in hand, a giant stood as though to protect her.

Thor. Likely the strongest swordsman in the continent.

A hint of sadness was mixed into his expression.

Thor-san

An existence that came from the same world as Halt, he was once called a hero.

However, right now, he was an enemy. To destroy the work, or to stop it just beforehand?

They had ended up choosing different paths.

Hey, dont you want to start the Millennium now? The circulation of souls will, in the end, save this world from ruin. Dont you understand that?

Thor was the only one to still be so naive.

Defeating the former Demon King together with him, Azel and Shana had none of that naivety left. Towards Halt Arisugawa, that is.

Trying to persuade him wont help.

The person to appear from the depths was Black Cats leader.

Yamato. However, a very limited number of people knew the mans real name.

Shifaka-san

The strongest of the strong. Halt couldnt win against him in any way. He was the strongest man in the continent.

Saint Emperor Ryuke Shifaka.

Living for more than three thousand years, he was an existence that surpassed even a dragon.

Killing you will spur the demon tribe into action, ringing the opening bell to the Millennium. There is no other way to save this world.

Halts mana surged, despite knowing that he definitely held no chance against this many opponents.

While we went through the same thousand years, even though I failed countless times, Ive been searching for a future.

The number of lives sacrificed didnt stop in the thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands. All of those deaths were due to the Demon King.

However, he still believed in a possible outcome.

An outcome for the Great Collapse and for the world to make its way past its ruin.

Preventing teleportation and summoning will be the reason all of you lost.

In that moment, Halt was unlike his usual selfthe look in his eyes was unbelievably cold.

Summon, Demon King Machine God [Demons Bane].

A giant summoning formation appeared in the sky above them.

No one there was so unintuitive as to be unable to feel how dangerous it was.

Come, Humanoid Fighting Weapon [Evangelion].

A golem that exceeded fifty meters in height. However, its true wasnt obvious from its appearance.

Thats no way

Only Thorsomeone from another worldToru Hakamada, knew that it was something impossible.

Halt opened the golems chest and entered into the red crystal on its body.

Horned like a devil, its humanoid body was jet-black with two daggers in its hands.

While you all desperately maneuvered behind the scenes to keep the balance of this worlds humans, Ive been believing solely in the possibility of having a future.

Halts voice boomed.

That crystal, its?

Are you serious?

Thor, what is that thing?

Shifaka was the only one calm, even in a situation like this. However, that calmness didnt stem from courage, but from indifference to everything.

That is the power of science. Moreover, it likely uses the power of magic as well

Thor knew. He knew just how dangerous it was.

It isnt a golem. Its a weapon for the endgame.

Really.

Shifaka drew his sword. A divine sword. It had killed a god, so it was a true divine sword.

There was no loser.

However, the Black Cats withdrew.

Shifaka made the call to withdraw before they started losing people.

In other words

The one to win was the Demon King.

The heck.

The heck kind of people are they.

Really, those people, what were they thinking?

Even though I was trying so hard to go and make an entrance with a bang for a final battle all like, This is my decisive tactical-grade humanoid weapon!

If they gang up on me in a five on one like that, even I wouldnt have the luxury of holding back!

Its good they fell back after getting tricked by my bluff, but my secret weapon took damage!

Stuff like Thermonuclear Darkness Exploding Hell and Meteor Shower come on, give me a break![1]

Ahh, the armors all bent out of shape and the magic formation is crumbling in a few places. Those foremen are going to be angry or maybe theyll be happy to have more work? Those people are work junkies after all.

Well, it wasnt all bad. Even if I worked it out in advance, I was able to measure its operating time limit in actual combat.

Alright, time to teleport. Good work.

Halt-san no, Your Majesty Ars.

Ah, Ferna-san. How long have you been here?

Eh? Your eyes are sparkling.

Hey, seriously, stop it. Im no good against that kind of attack!

Yep, I really appreciate you coming over to our side from the bottom of my heart though.

But you have the same look as my retainers right now.

I dont like that, so thats why Ive been going solo.

I will follow your dreams!

Wow, it came!

The ideal declaration!

Ferna-san, please stop. My dream isnt something so wonderful.

No, really. My dream is pretty haphazard you know?

Im just doing things that I feel like doing.

Really, Im telling the truth. Its just something that wont come true without saving the world.

Even now, if theres someone that wants to swap out with me, could you please?

Ah, Ferna-san, please quit it with that pose of holding your fist over your chest.

Ah, and please stop your eyes from shining like that.

Yep, I understand. I do. Its been directed at me many times after all.

Its the look where someone falls in love.

Theres still time for you, so please go and chase after some boy your age and not some old grandpa. Im even older than your great grandpa!

Yep, shes my type, so I have to somehow deal with it now before she approaches me. I might not be able to reject her at that point!

While I thought about stuff like that, one of my adorable children appeared.

Your Majesty~

Looks like the barriers gone too. Well, if I used my real trump card, itd probably be able to make it through, but its still incomplete.

The adorable flaxen-haired vampire descended in front of my and took my right hand. Ooh, shes soft. No no, this is just familial love.

Rei turned up after her as well. As expected, devil wings are faster.

I was so worried! No, I actually wasnt worried in the least!

Eh, what?

Hmmm, is it that she had full trust in me?

Well, its better than if you had joined in on that fight.

But Ill be sad if you dont worry about me at least a little you know?

Your Majesty

Rei stopped, standing a step away from me. She looked like she might start crying at any moment though.

Ah, she was worried huh. There were two heroes and two grat sages as my opponents after all. Ill take my time slowly patting her head later.

H-huh?

Ferna-sans grasping my left hand?

Moreover, she and Asuka are glaring at each other?

Your Majesty, who is this woman?

Ah, shes Ferna-san, she became my companion.

Hello, please call me Ferna.

Ah, Asuka-san, even if theyve grown bigger, please stop pushing your chest against me.

Ive known you since you were a baby. I remember you screaming from having your diaper changed!

Even if you grew up to be so adorable, as expected, my morals are hard at work

Good to meet you. I am Ars-samas adopted child, Asuka.

Even though I say morals, there was that person huh, Princess Guinevere.

In that dicey time just after frantically defeating that dragon, we wound doing it after she said something adorably pure.

At the very least, I want to offer my chastity to the person I love from the bottom of my heart.

No man would refuse after hearing something like that right?

But you know, if you think about it.

The only remaining member of that royal family is that person.

With Carlas massive war potential and her being a solid ally, she could choose whatever lover she wanted. It might not be my child.

Thinking about it now, Im not obligated to do anything, so I think I chose right yeah?

That person was fundamentally a scheming one. Maybe I should call her a wicked woman? No, a bad child!

Well, she made me feel comfortable, so I dont have the right to say anything though.

Maybe its alright for me to gripe in my mind?

While thinking about stuff like that, Ferna-san wound up grabbing my left arm.

Umm, Ferna-san

Even if I look like this, I am a man.

The destructive power of boobs is a menace to all men.

For now, lets guide Ferna-san back to base.

The girls gathered around for teleportation. Rei, your chest is just as lethal as usually. Hurry up and find a good man, its your pops request!

Ill make sure the mans up to snuff though of course!

This room is somewhat unusual, isnt it?

Yep, this should be the first time Ferna-sans seen a room like this so her reactions normal.

This room is based off of an average Japanese house in other words, I made it look like my old room.

Moreover, it has a bath, toilet, and kitchen added on, so Ive been living like this.

Ah, but really, Im tired.

I didnt think that those people would catch up to my thousand years of accumulation though.

But even so, I wanted to stay hidden as long as possible.

Sorry, could you keep watch? Im going to go to sleep for a while

Using so much manas made me really tired

I found various things that can be improved though

Anyway, for now, sleep is justice!

So, Asuka-san.

Stop trying to sleep with me
