*****In a large storage warehouse in the Royal Capital of Rosemona****
Time goes back a little, before Valkyrie starts rescuing people, and the perspective turns to Binghua's side.
After passing through the teleportation array with Zim and Zim's clones, Binghua arrived at a large storage warehouse in the royal capital. After confirming that there was no one else in the warehouse, Binghua, together with Zim and her clones, came from After walking out of the warehouse, Binghua asked Zim and the others to wait where they were, while he jumped onto the roof of the warehouse with a slight jump, and began to stand on the roof, looking for a certain building that had been planned in advance. The location of the stronghold.
[We have agreed on a place to build a stronghold. Remember, it is in the direction of the maze, in a large square closest to the northern city gate. Hmm~..., ah! found it! Zim, let’s start moving! Don't be thrown away! 】
【Zim understands~, Zim will not be thrown away~. 】
【【【Oh~~~. 】】】X400
【···With such a weak voice, I really don’t know if you have the energy, Zim. 】
When Binghua stood in the large storage warehouse and found the target location, and after talking to Zim below to prepare to move, Binghua became a little worried after hearing the feeble answers from Zim and Zim's 400 clones. At the same time, Feifu led Zim and her clones and began to advance in a very eye-catching way while moving and defeating enemies blocking the way.
While moving, Hyouka could sense the emotional thoughts of living beings within a certain range around her. She sensed the [hate], [fear], [sadness] and [anger] that were everywhere in the capital. ], as well as the [joy] of [killing], and the [silence] of [life] disappearing, Binghua showed a sad expression and recalled the past.
A long time ago, before Binghua was born from the [Dragon Egg], and when the egg first gained consciousness, the first thing she perceived was that she was in a small space, and there was something emanating from it. With the presence of [warmth] [emotion] and [longing], I am looking at my own affairs.
Why am I here, and why is the existence outside looking at me with a [warmth] atmosphere.
Binghua, who was not yet born and had just gained consciousness in the egg, the moment she thought like this, the answer to the question she wanted to know suddenly appeared in her head. She learned what she was and understood the purpose of existence. A warm atmosphere, a reason to look at yourself.
Although Binghua didn't understand the meaning at that time, she didn't hate the [warmth] feeling, and she even wanted to be closer to that [warmth] feeling, because in that [warmth] 】feeling nearby, you will have a very "safe" feeling.
However, one day after a period of time, Binghua suddenly felt that the [warmth] feeling radiated by the existence that was always by his side disappeared, replaced by [hatred] and [anger], and things like It is the [fear] and [pleading] sent by the intruders.
After that day, the [warmth] feeling that Binghua liked, the one who often accompanied her and made her feel at ease, slowly disappeared.
And instead of that [warm] emotion and longing, what appeared was [crazy] like [despair]. With the appearance of various intruders, the [warm] existence in the heart... Despair] has become like a [bottomless abyss], getting deeper and deeper.
[Afraid], don’t want to stay away from that [warmth] feeling.
[Afraid], don’t want to lose that feeling of [peace of mind].
Binghua hates that the [warm] existence has become like this, but now that she is powerless, there is nothing she can do.
Since then, I have been feeling the "Despair" like a "Bottomless Abyss", as well as the negative emotions such as "Fear" and "Tremble" of the intruders, Binghua gradually "frozen" his own "soul", I gave up [emotion] and turned myself into a machine-like existence without emotion.
This continued until one day after that, he [frozen] his [mind] and became just blindly studying how to use his own ability to kill the intruder. The one who had [desperate] Just like any other existence that has ceased to exist, Binghua, who had thought that nothing mattered and would not care anymore, suddenly felt some extremely powerful [missing] that she had never felt since she had the will in the egg.
([(···Want to live.)])
There is a certain existence with an [immortal] [fire] ignited in my heart, a huge longing that cannot be expressed in words, and I want to live in this world.
Let Binghua's [frozen] [mind] begin to gradually dissolve.
([(I want to survive in this world!)])
A certain existence, the silent and miserable "cry" in the heart, mixed with the sad "agitation" feeling that came violently.
The [emotions] that Binghua had [abandoned] and could not recall began to reappear.
([(I want to live and visit the Fairy House with Ling! I want to live freely in this world with the people I like————!!!)])
Containing strong thoughts that people can naturally understand, and the [never-ending] [pure prayer] of a certain existence, it burst out like crazy here.
It completely overturned the "crazy despair" in Binghua's heart that was like a "bottomless abyss", allowing Binghua to find his "original" self.
Recalling the moment when he just felt the "never-ending" "pure prayer" in Zhang Youji's heart, Binghua, who was now heading to a large square in the royal capital, showed a firm smile and said, I silently said the words of thanks to Zhang Youji in my heart, because now Binghua, as long as I recall Zhang Youji’s [never-ending] [pure prayer], my heart will become [fearless] and start to move forward Forward.
(...This world is indeed full of hatred and fear, such negative and annoying emotions,...but at the same time, there are also beautiful things that can oppose them and completely subvert them. Now I I can understand this, and I will no longer fall into despair because of those negative emotions. Thank you very much, Master,... Okay, hurry up and deal with the enemies on the road, and hurry up for Master, go... ·, Oops! I forgot to fly with Zim’s speed! Zim and the others were not left behind in the enemy’s formation?,...)
[Zim thought the turtle-shaped devil he ate while traveling just now was delicious~. 】
[No~, this Zim thinks the bird-shaped demon is still delicious~. 】
[Objection~, both the original Zim and that Zim are wrong~, food is not sinful~, as long as it is edible, everything is delicious~! 】
[[[Agree~. 】】】X400
(...It seems like everything is fine and everyone is keeping up. Even though I am in human form now, Zim and the others can actually keep up with my speed...and not only is everything fine, Zim On the contrary, she and her clones seemed to be discussing the smell of the enemies they ate while moving around in a nonchalant manner?!)
While Hyouka was thinking about some memories, when he noticed something he had forgotten, he hurriedly defeated three enemies at will, while slightly reducing his flying speed and looking back, he found Zim who had all been dehumanized. He and his clones had transformed into a slime form about the size of a washbasin, and were now following him by jumping around wildly, or in other words, bouncing. The unexpected speed, as well as the somewhat speechless topics they discussed, started to give me a headache.
But thinking that now was not the time for Bing Hua to be in a daze, she immediately shook her head and changed her mind. In order to protect the very [cherished], [warm] and [ordinary] days, Bing Hua felt in her heart With a very firm [will], she started to go to the big square where she wanted to establish a base, preparing to [freeze] all the enemies [every day] who wanted to destroy her [warmth] in her extreme cold. .
*****In the large square near the northern city gate of the Royal Capital of Rosemona****
The perspective shifts to the gathering point of the Demon King's sky troops, a certain dark dragon.
Creatures like dragons are born to be strong in this world. Even the newly born [lower dragons] will become a big threat to people, and the [median dragons] are even classified by people. Among the SSS-level monsters, not to mention the [Higher-level Dragons], although they rarely appear in the continent where humans live, people are still very afraid of the [Higher-level Dragons] and regard them as [Natural Disaster]-level monsters.
The character of [Upper Dragon Tribe] is usually very arrogant. Even if they know they will die, they will not yield to anyone. Even if the opponent is a god or a demon king, they will never bow down easily.
However, if they have a common goal with gods or demon kings, or if what they do is interesting and helps them become stronger, some [high-level dragons] will use themselves in the mood of watching a play. Ability, help yourself with the goals you are interested in.
And now lying in the capital, in the large square near the north city gate, a certain [high-ranking] [Dark Dragon] can absorb the souls and resentments of the dead while watching the show. The mood to make oneself stronger helps the devil on a whim, and the playful attitude prepares to destroy the weak who are enemies of it.
[Dark, Dark Dragon Lord! Enemies, enemies, unknown enemies are attacking here! Although we have requested reinforcements from the tragic Demon King, Malvis-sama, those unknown enemies are too powerful! 】
【Um? ···Hmph, you can’t even defeat a newborn girl and slime, you are so useless, but that’s okay, since your demon king has given me the promised negative emotions, and tens of thousands of Human souls are sacrificed, so let me move a little bit for your demon king. Haha, I really don’t know how far those miscellaneous fishes who overestimate their capabilities and attack me can make me move. 】
[Thank you very much, Lord Dark Dragon! 】
The dark dragon lying in the center of the large square, when he heard the news that a certain demon came to report, he slowly stood up and glanced at the source of chaos in the distance, which was gradually approaching it. Even the demon could not be far away. When he had enough eyesight and discovered that it was a young girl with dragon horns on her head and a large group of purple slimes, the Dark Dragon became slightly more interested and assumed the posture of a proud superior. , waiting for the young girl calling here and the large group of slimes to challenge it.
At this time, when they heard that the Dark Dragon agreed to help deal with the unknown enemies, the demons nearby immediately surrounded the large square tightly, leaving only one person in order to put the unknown enemies into At the entrance of the main square, the demons who were fighting unknown enemies, after hearing the order, began to induce the fight one after another, preparing to slowly release the unknown enemies into the main square.
Soon after, the Dark Dragon looked at the young girl with dragon horns on her head, leading a large group of purple slimes. They all came together, whether in the air or on the ground, and were being used by the demons and the demon king. Behind the large square tightly surrounded by demons, the Dark Dragon looked down upon its weak enemy, slowly walked over and spoke with the arrogant attitude of a superior.
[Little girl, since you are also a dragon, I will just listen to your name and tell it. 】
【···My name is Binghua, followed by】
[The name of slime is not qualified to stay in my memory. So Binghua, I will give you two choices. 1. Give up those slimes and become my servant. 2. Become mine directly. Bait, which one do you choose? 】
【···, Alas, grandpa, you seem to have lost your sight. Besides, I already have a master who is worthy of devoting my all to you. Grandpa is the one. If you can obediently leave from here, I will I will forget what you said before and let you live. 】
【Little girl! Don't be too arrogant! He's just a trash that was domesticated and lost his original sharp teeth! How dare you get carried away in front of me! That rudeness! It’s really a crime worthy of death! You have to die to pay for it, damn little girl! 】
The dark dragon interrupted Binghua's words and unilaterally and proudly gave his choice. When he heard that the young dragon girl named Binghua, who had dragon horns in front of him, sighed and gave After answering, the dark dragon became furious. After roaring, he immediately opened his mouth and used [Dragon Roar] at Binghua, hoping to wipe out Binghua and the group of slimes behind her.
However, Binghua, who was watching the vacuum wave formed by [Dragon's Roar] coming toward her at an extremely fast speed, estimated the strength of the dark dragon in front of her with bored eyes, and then just said With a wave of his hand, the vacuum wave roared by the dark dragon was dispersed.
[Level 398? It seems to be no problem from my point of view, but for Zim, it is a bit serious. 】
【impossible! Little girl, what have you done? ! Although I didn't use all my strength in my roar just now, there is no way I could be wiped out by an incompetent dragon like you who was just born and was tamed by others! Say it! What tricks did you use! 】
[···Zim, I’ll leave the enemies on the ground around the big square to you. Our task is to establish a stronghold here. Don’t be too far away from the big square. You don’t need to worry about the enemies in the air. Just Just be careful not to get hit by falling enemies. 】
[Understood~ Everyone, let’s eat~. 】
【【【Oh oh oh~! 】】】X400
[The smug little girl! How dare you ignore a high-ranking dark dragon? ! you you? ! ? ! ? ! 】
After Binghua finished her evaluation of the dark dragon in front of her, she ignored the dark dragon who said something, told Zim not to stray too far from the main square, and handed over all the demons on the ground to Zim. After that, he once again ignored the dark dragon who was saying something, jumped into the air in an instant, canceled the [Humanization] skill, and returned to the posture of the [Three-Headed Dragon of Ultimate Ice].
And at the same time, Zim and his clones also started their actions, causing the large square, which was tightly surrounded by demons and lower-level demons, to become completely chaotic. I don’t know if they wanted to prioritize resisting the three demons in the air. The head dragon should still get rid of the slimes attacking everywhere on the ground. Even the arrogant dark dragon from before was stunned on the spot. As for Bing Hua who looked at this scene, he was even more stunned. Taking the opportunity to release her coercion and magic power, she began to announce her name to the surroundings, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.
[I am the Blue Summoner of the Labyrinth, the 8th guardian under my banner, the three-headed dragon of absolute ice, Bing Hua. Those who are enemies of my master, be prepared to accept my extreme ice and my power. Teeth, completely shattered consciousness? 】
Its very existence has already shaken the world.
Its beautiful and solemn posture has already moved people's hearts.
Exuding a presence that even the Valkyrie cannot match, the three-headed dragon dominates everything here.
The demons who were attacked by evil-eating slimes on the ground immediately began to flee after seeing the three-headed dragon's fighting spirit.
The scene was like scattered insects running into the grass.
In the air, the demons, overwhelmed by the three-headed dragon's domineering aura, trembled in fear of its indescribable power, and instantly lost their consciousness.
The scene is like a moth flying towards the fire and instinctively plunging into the fire.
Binghua, the three-headed dragon of Juebing, looked at the demons on the ground who were being chased by Zim and were fleeing. After confirming that there was almost no danger to Zim, she turned her attention completely to the demons in the air who wanted to escape but could not escape. But because of the [forced contract], he couldn't even escape or even make a sound. He had to obey the order and tremblingly attack the lower demons who came over, as well as the dark dragon who had not yet reacted.
100 lower-level demons attacked.
Hyoka emitted magical power and flapped its wings, using the wind pressure generated within it to cut it into several pieces.
1,000 lower-level demons besieged him.
Two of Hyoka's three heads chanted magic and knocked them all down.
10,000 lower-level demons attacked.
Bing Hua's three dragon heads adjusted their angles, raised their heads slightly and roared into the air, causing an icy blue trail to appear in the sky above the capital.
The Dark Dragon watched as one blow completely destroyed 10,000 demons, and even caused the lower demons who came as reinforcements to freeze and dissipate in an instant. Even the clouds in the distant sky were frozen by the falling attack, and could not help but freeze. He came to his senses in a daze.
[...] During the battle with those poor lower-level demons, I seemed to feel the sight of Valkyrie. I wonder if Valkyrie and the others have succeeded in rescuing the people their master wanted to save. 】
Seeing that the lower demons under the Demon King had all disappeared with that single blow, while saying words that had nothing to do with the battle just now, he flapped his wings that glowed with a faint ice blue light and slowly rose from the air. The three-headed dragon, Hyouka's dark dragon, slowly landed in front of it.
Although it wanted to escape from Binghua immediately, its dignity as a [high-ranking dragon] did not allow it to escape from the enemy with its tail wagging, and compared to this, it least wanted to agree with it, and was also the least able to understand it. The question is, why is the [Taboo] Dragon, who has been more powerful than the [Higher Dragon Clan] since birth, and has the ability to see through [all things], and possesses extraordinary wisdom when he generates his will, satisfied? Why did he blurt out the word "Master" so easily after succumbing to others?
【Why? ! Why would a proud three-headed dragon like you succumb to others? ! Why would a powerful three-headed dragon like you willingly call others your master? ! Is it God? ! Or the devil? ! Say it! Who is your so-called master? ! 】
【······, who is my master? Well···. 】
Binghua looked at the dark dragon not far in front of her, and after hearing its almost crazy but fearful attitude, incomprehensible tone and questioning, she maintained her three-headed dragon form. Binghua began to think deeply in order to answer its question.
My master, Zhang Youji, is a person with [Endless] [Prayer]. In order to save his family members who are just like family and friends, he sublimated from human beings into spiritual bodies, and at the same time saved his own existence. Even if If you have the power to change the world, you won't use it randomly.
Even if the body becomes a spiritual body, but in the heart he just prays that he can live a stable and happy life with his family every day, he is just an ordinary human being. Thinking of this, he controls [ The three-headed dragon Bing Hua of "Jue Bing" answered the question of the dark dragon in a very "warm" voice.
[My master is just an ordinary human being with an endless wish to live a happy daily life with his family and friends. 】
【Why? ·········,Do not make jokes! ! ! In other words, do you, a three-headed dragon that even the Dragon Emperor species would be afraid of, bow your head to that kind of powerless monkey and call that kind of monkey master? ! ? ! ? ! You disgraceful thing! Have you forgotten the pride of the Dragon Clan? ! You are not qualified to possess the power of a three-headed dragon! Give me that power! Soul-eating and swallowing! ! ! 】
The dark dragon couldn't understand what Binghua said at all. After Binghua finished speaking, it immediately forgot its fear and started to get angry. Then it used a skill that could absorb other people's power and rushed towards Binghua as quickly as possible. Binghua rushed over and used its proud dragon teeth to bite the neck of the middle one of Binghua's three dragon heads. He spread his wings and flew, forcibly dragging Binghua into the air and began to forcibly absorb Binghua's power. ,but.
[It seems that for a proud dragon like you who cannot understand what warmth is, what family and friends are, and who regards strength as everything, it is really stupid to seriously answer the answer I got. 】
【? ! ? ! ? ! 】
The Dark Dragon, which was originally elated and thought it had successfully bitten Binghua's vitals, found out after hearing Binghua's angry words that its proud teeth did not even crush Binghua's dragon scales. Not even a scratch.
At this time, the Dark Dragon wanted to stay away from Binghua. The moment it was about to let go and run away, Binghua's dragon claw grabbed its neck and was lifted up by Binghua's single claw. The dragon scales on the Dark Dragon's neck were caught by Binghua. The ice-blue dragon claws penetrated easily, and now as long as Binghua moves even slightly, the dark dragon will be killed immediately.
[Wu, click? ! I am the superior, dark dragon! How could it be possible to lose to a mere useless dragon, lose its dragon pride, and surrender to the monkey! 】
[Hmph, the pride of the dragon clan is the strong will that will not let the enemy harm the things it wants to protect no matter what it faces. If you confuse it with power, you are no longer qualified to talk about the pride of the dragon clan. That is just It's just your personal satisfaction. As a punishment for insulting my master, I will let you slowly disappear in the ice, the ice field! 】
【You guy! I absolutely will not admit it! Never will·········. 】
[Sleep and disappear in the ice that will never melt,... However, this effect, although it removes the royal city and living objects other than this dark dragon from the frozen target, Except, but, it seems, it was a little overdone,... It seems that when I was angry, I accidentally mixed the effect of the Ice Flower World into it... What should I do? ······. 】
When Binghua corrected the cursed words of the Dark Dragon in a tone that could not be refuted, and used [Kingly Skill] [Absolute Ice Domain] to freeze it and throw it away, the scope of its frozen ability was even wider than imagined. Even the sky was getting darker gradually, and when it felt like it was going to snow, I realized that not only had I used the Kingly Skill, but also the effect of [Border Breaking Skill] and [Ice Flower World] had been unintentional. When used.
The three-headed dragon of absolute ice, Hyouhua, possesses a power that makes gods and demons tremble and shakes the earth. Because of his [will] to protect the [every day] that is now [warm], he has completely done so. Overdoing it, she began to look around with white eyes, maintaining the form of a three-headed dragon, and began to be in a daze in the air. As for establishing a stronghold, and Zim has disappeared, Binghua has now It was completely forgotten.
