two darks

The saintess slightly bowed her head and apologized to Leon.

“Sorry to startle you.”

“no! I’m sorry… … . But how is it here… … .”

“I knew this would happen and I was waiting not far away.”

It must mean that you foresaw this situation.

Leon shook his head, thinking that it might be the case with a saint.

at that time,

pat-

The holy power that radiated from the saintess’s hand penetrated Pedro’s forehead while shining brightly.

one minute like that.

“Whoa… … .”

Pedro let out a deep sigh. He’s still unconscious, but his face looks more relaxed than it did just a moment ago.

“You don’t have to worry anymore.”

Leon, who was holding Pedro’s arm, blushed. It wasn’t just because of the saintess’ words. It was because he could feel that the vitality draining from Pedro’s body had stopped.

“Thank you, saintess! Thank you very much!”

The saintess grabbed Leon’s shoulder as he bowed his head and expressed gratitude.

“Rather, we should be grateful. You can’t earn the gratitude of someone who is dedicated to serving the three worlds with just this.”

“Saint… … .”

Kerbell, who was standing there then, asked.

“Are you all right now?”

“First aid is done.”

Kerbell tilted her head.

“First aid? Can’t it be completely healed?”

The healing power of the saintess Kerbell knew was greater than that of any other superhuman with the exception of Martin.

It wasn’t a curse that couldn’t be solved, and it was only first aid treatment for the cheers caused by overuse of magical power, so Kervel was curious.

The saintess, who had made eye contact with Kerbel for a moment, stiffened her face and opened her mouth.

“The stamina has been damaged. It’s not something that Roden-sama can’t fix, but… I think it would be best to just stop here for now.”

It’s not that it can’t be fixed, but it can’t be fixed?

Kerbell frowned.

“What is that… … .”

Kerbell, who was about to say something, shut his mouth.

His face was also hardened like that of a saint.

“Is this why you brought me here?”

“Right. Because I had to think about what if.”

“To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to beat him.”

“It’s not just the bailiff here, is it?”

When Leon, unable to understand their conversation, tilted his head, Kerbel looked at him with pity.

“I’m sure your condition isn’t normal either.”

“… What kind of small grain is that?”

“Can’t you feel this powerful force?”

As soon as Kervel finished speaking, a shady aura rose from the ground.

The ground they were on had turned black.

* * *

Martin’s fist turned to the black dragon’s face.

It was a slow fist, but the black dragon couldn’t avoid it.

There was no place to escape.

bang!!

With a huge roar, the black dragon flew backwards.

Martin, who followed him, reached out his hand toward the back of the black dragon.

ugh-

Space trembled and a fantasy gate was created in the air and swallowed the black dragon, and Martin followed suit.

[It’s annoying.]

Cater, who was watching the scene from afar, stumbled after them.

The place Martin entered through the newly created fantasy door was a plain full of red rocks.

[Whoup!]

Kater took a long breath.

Magi began to rapidly heal his body.

[Feel so good.]

Kater, who had recovered somewhat, looked ahead.

Martin’s one-sided beating continued.

[Awesome… … .]

It’s overwhelming.

The power that Martin sees now is truly beyond imagination.

[The author is also very sorry.]

At this point, I feel sorry for the black dragon.

The counterattack continues to be hit without even dreaming of a counterattack.

Flesh is torn and bones are crushed.

It heals quickly because it is a body that has accepted demons, but it seems to be hit more because of it.

Kater saw himself in the past training center in the black dragon who was helplessly defeated.

[Being enemies with Martin is the stupidest thing in the world. Good luck.]

Kater, who clicks her tongue and sends condolences to the black dragon in advance.

But just then a strange thing happened.

Chow ah-

A black light split the atmosphere.

The light from the sword in the black dragon’s hand was strong enough to block Martin’s attack.

Despite being quite far away, Carter was only able to recognize the attack after the black light had passed, leaving a deep scar on the ground just a meter away.

[…] What else is this?]

The black light did not disappear.

It was burning alone in the dug ground.

Cater turns to Martin.

Surprisingly, Martin, who had treated the black dragon like a toy until now, was watching the sword he was holding with a serious face, wary of the black dragon.

* * *

It is often said that when the moment of death comes, one can see the past life passing by like a kaleidoscope.

The black dragon, Franken, was experiencing just that.

Born as a dragon, the guardian of Roden,

He competed with his brother, Tranken, and was deprived of the position of successor.

In order to escape from Roden, he stole the ring of darkness and went to the demon realm to meet the demon king.

After enduring the burning pain of the cell, it became a race of demons.

There was only one thing Franken wanted from the beginning.

To rise to an equal position with Roden.

He only saw that one and even became a demonic dragon.

I realized that no matter how hard I tried, it would be impossible in Roden’s arms.

Franken, who became a demon dragon, did not rest.

He ate demon beasts to build up his strength, and cultivated his power.

His goal was a demon king who was strangely static and pursued peace unbecoming a ruler of the demon realm.

Franken wanted to defeat him and become a transcendentalist.

However, as a result, Franken did not meet the Demon King.

On the day of the rebellion, he was subdued by the demonic Duke, and then sealed and thrown into another world where the gate was pierced.

Franken, who first woke up in another world, Earth, thought that the reason he was sent here was to occupy Earth. It was accepted as meaning to set up a ball and offset the fault.

so it ran

It killed all life in sight and destroyed civilization.

It was an earth that could be said to have a considerable number of living things, but there was no existence that could stand against him as a demonic dragon.

It’s been a year since I woke up on Earth.

A witch appeared in the world.

The monster was obviously not from the Demon Realm where Franken was, but strangely it appeared through that gate.

Franken did not kill the beast.

Rather, it was moderately manipulated and made to participate in the destruction of the earth.

It was because they thought it was an army sent from the Demon Realm.

As if to prove his thoughts, the Witchbeast continued to enter once a year after that.

One day something rather strange came through the gate.

It was clearly not a witchcraft.

To be precise, it was an existence that is now a Witchbeast, but was not originally a Witchbeast. Like Franken himself, an existence that was demoted to a demonic beast after suffering damage.

It was around the time Franken found out that his activities stopped.

finally realized The fact that the reason he sent himself to Earth from the Demon Realm was not because of Earth’s occupation.

Earth was just a place of exile.

You don’t know when you’ll go back, you don’t know when you’ll be able to go back.

By that time, an intense sense of futility had overtaken him.

Disappointed, Franken, who hadn’t done anything for a month, got up.

He found and killed all the monsters except for the three who were in the same situation as himself. After that, after putting the three monsters to sleep, he also fell into a deep sleep.

I hope that one day I will return to the Demon Realm, defeat the Demon King, and dream of becoming a transcendent.

how much time has passed

A stinging magic spear woke him up.

I screamed in surprise, but at the same time I was happy.

The smell of hometown was thickly permeated with the magic power that attacked him.

But it didn’t take long for the joy to turn to anger.

It was because he felt that the power he possessed was formidable even though his opponent was human.

In particular, the existence of a mortal who handles divine power gave a great shock to Franken, who had lived for a long time.

‘Is it the same as him?’

Franken had never seen such a being.

‘Warrior.’

A transcendent who sealed the devil alone.

A person who has already reached the place Franken himself is aiming for.

That mortal smells like him.

I haven’t climbed to that spot yet, but it’s an existence that will rise soon.

Jealousy boils over.

The sinister one must be killed.

But Franken couldn’t kill him. Even the ominous premonition became a reality and he was drawn to a strange place.

I thought it was a demonic realm where demons did not exist and was about to end, but in reality, it was a strange demonic world where there were no demons only where there was a gate.

As soon as they arrived here, the mortals became overwhelming, as if they had become transcendental. Franken became so strong that it was impossible to resist.

I was unilaterally attacked without having been able to resist properly.

That’s how Franken was on the verge of death.

But that was just then.

Something I hadn’t seen before began to appear.

‘what?’

It did not exist in this world, but on the other hand it did exist.

It looks like it’s crossing a certain boundary.

It is a black sword like darkness.

pounding-

The heart races.

The dragon heart oscillates and boils as if it will explode.

Franken unconsciously reached for the sword.

When the hand reaches the place where the sword is, the sword that was on the border protrudes out of the world and is caught in the hand.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

My heart beats and my eyes go white.

He swung his sword at the approaching mortal.

Chow ah-

A sword that spreads darkness in the world like paint on a canvas.

Seeing the bewildered face of a mortal is so delightful.

kill take away Eat it up.

The will of the sword is transmitted to Franken.

With this sword, there seems to be nothing I can’t do.

‘I will.’

After killing that mortal, I will go back to the Demon Realm and take the seat of the Demon King and eat the Demon Realm.

Franken tried to approach Martin in such a half-obsessed state.

He suddenly dropped to the ground and grabbed his heart.

[Kuaaa!]

I feel like my heart is beating so fast that it’s about to explode.

Franken’s eyes turned to the sword in his hand.

‘Is it like that?’

The sword of thick darkness that was urged to kill and steal.

The ring of darkness that Roden put on the dragon that ate away the natural limit of not being able to leave Roden.

Franken could see that the essence of the two objects was the same.

avarice.

The darkness that dwelled in the sword and ring was so greedy that even Franken shuddered.

And the greedy darkness did not allow Franken to have two pieces.

The reason why your heart is beating like it’s going to burst is probably because the ring of darkness you put inside your heart rejects.

Franken pondered for a moment.

‘Should I throw away one of them?’

If you have to throw away, what should you throw away?

The answer came simply.

I needed a sword to deal with that mortal.

‘Thank you so much, Dark Ring.’

Fuuk- Franken stabbed his hand into his heart.

After a while, what he held in his hand that came out of his heart was a ring that emits darkness that seems to suck everything in.

Franken let go of the Dark Ring.

‘Goodbye.’

As the ring disappears, the darkness emanating from the dark sword seals his torn heart.

Rising, lighter than ever, Franken looked at the mortal.

[Thank you for waiting. It will be a little different from now on.]

Franken uttered such confidence as he drew his sword at the mortal.

However, his sword could not be fully swung.

The sword stopped facing the sky as if someone had grabbed it.

But that’s impossible. Who would dare to hold the blade of a divine sword shrouded in this transcendent darkness? Franken thought so.

However.

back-

No matter how hard he tried, the sword was immovable.

In the end, Franken raised his head upward.

He opened his eyes wide.

[…] what is this?]

Something tiny, a two-headed humanoid, was standing at the tip of the sword, looking down at him.
