Chapter 299
Twilight of the Dragons
When Blancaros declared the opening, the first to speak was Storeus.
"Can we hear what that damn agenda is now?"
Storeus spoke rudely.
Blancaros answered calmly.
"As everyone knows, the World Tree is currently occupied by demons."
W е bn̊ó.v̈е̂l Еn u̇m̂а̂
The only one making a surprised face was Alexander.
Since he didn't even know the fact that Olivia was alive, it was only natural.

"I thought we needed to gather and discuss this matter, which is why I summoned you all like this."
"Is there really a need to call it a discussion?"
Storeus pointed his chin at Gokma.
"Wouldn't everything end if we just kill that bastard right in front of us?"
Eǹ ü m̆а̄
Udeudeuk-
A terrifying sound coming from his hand, even though he hadn't clenched his fist.
It was a crude method, but the one that most appealed to Ferda's heart.
He didn't say it, but it probably appealed to everyone's hearts.

"...There is..."
A muttering, crawling voice was heard.
W̊ ѐ b nо̃ v̀_еĺ Enu m̌ ȧ
It was a voice flowing from Mesabosk, who had been bowing her waist.
"Stay still..."
Eyes meeting Storeus's.
Gazes that looked like they would kill each other right this instant were bursting the backs of bystanders.
"Now now, everyone's gathered here, so shouldn't we talk and at least clear up misunderstandings?"
Odograsado calmed them down, lifting her head toward Blancaros's side.

"But I also cannot hide my doubts, same as you, Blancaros. When this White House was built, I thought I wouldn't even be able to set foot in it. I never imagined a day like this would come."
Unlike her relaxed tone, the nuance strongly pressured Blancaros.
She was a dragon who built her own kingdom yet refused to reign as king.
The reason was because she loved humans.
So if this matter had wrong intentions, she was prepared to willingly get angry.
"Regarding that part, it would be more appropriate for me to answer rather than Blancaros-nim."
Ѐ núm а̃
The one who said that was Gokma, who came as the demons' representative.
Odograsado asked him.

"Who are you, demon?"
"I was once Godwin-nim's Dragon Spawn, and now I am a demon called Gokma. To humans, I was known as one of the Seven Scars."
"Scars... I see. Were you the idiot who got beaten by a brat with a kitchen knife?"
Storeus sneered as if remembering.
Е̃_n̆ u ṁа̃ .i d
"Those trash were desperate to die for Godwin somehow, but there was a coward among them. Or did you come to your senses after taking a knife hit?"
"That's not it."
Gokma responded with a friendly smile.
"When I was dying with a fatal wound from the Hero, Godwin-nim barely rescued me. Since then, Godwin-nim saw the future and gave only me a different command."

"What command?"
"We will lose. I will die, and many demons under me will also lose their lives. So if we lose, you must absolutely watch over the aftermath, he said."
W̌ еb̆n̄ ǒ v̈е̇ l Ӗ n̂ǔ m̆ a.
"You mean he already knew it was an unwinnable fight? Your master was quite the fool too."
"I, with my shallow knowledge, also thought so."
He absolutely refused to be swayed by Storeus's pace of trying to scratch him somehow.
"I had some doubts about those words. Since Godwin-nim, who made even those Phases tremble, was speaking of defeat rather than victory."
Gokma closed his mouth for a moment.
What was felt in that silence was an emotion Dragon Spawns could feel.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Especially the Silverwinds knew it well.
"And we actually lost. Godwin-nim passed away. That's why I still uphold his command and stand before you all now."
"So you occupied the World Tree, intending to create a new Demon Land and announce the demons' resurrection?"
Odograsado showed quiet anger.
She who had been infinitely light now exuded a completely different atmosphere, which paradoxically felt more sincere.
"No. That's not it. We won't do such a thing. Demon Land is land where life cannot live. Creating such land would be meaningless."
Е̊ n u m̂ ӑ
Bullshit.
Such words burst out here and there.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But Ferda thought that might actually be true.
If it were just Gokma, it would definitely be bullshit, but the dragon next to him is Mesabosk.
The Green Dragon, Mesabosk is the Owner of Forest and Vitality, a dragon who loves life.
But after the Dragon-Demon War, she went to the Western Land and built her absolute domain.

"We will make the World Tree into Mesabosk-nim's domain. Centering on that place, we'll form green zones."
Green zones.
At those words that sounded strange, Erica frowned with doubt.
"That place is already a zone where elves have formed a collective. With the elves' characteristic of harmonizing with nature, isn't it already sufficiently a green zone?"

As Erica said, the World Tree surroundings were already sufficiently green zones.
"You seem to be misunderstanding something. It's a different concept from the harmony elves speak of."
Wе b̊no̊ v е ĺ Е n ũ m а̂
"Then that means..."
"Perfect green zones. Land solely for grass and trees."
At the heard intent, Erica furrowed her brows.
"Are you scheming to steal the elves' foothold?"
"No. How could that be?"
Gokma smiled softly.

"There's nothing as heartbreaking as having your foothold stolen, right?"
At that ominous smile, chewing over his words, she finally realized the meaning.
"Then you're thinking of committing a massacre without anyone to steal from?"
"It's not a massacre. It's becoming one."
Owner of Forest and Vitality.
One might think she's a Guardian Dragon from that nickname, but she was clearly an Evil Dragon.

She committed atrocities of mercilessly turning every living thing that set foot in her domain into trees and flowers.
Thus the name she earned was Immovable Land.

If anyone entered her land without permission, she expanded her domain even further and punished them severely.
So conversely, it became a situation where sentries were posted to monitor that no one set foot in that Immovable Land.
Only then could one understand how Gokma and Mesabosk became a team.
Demon Land and Immovable Land had similar textures.
Е n̄u ḿӑ .іd
They were the same in being places where Serdes Continent's animals dared not enter.
"You used your head a bit, trash guy."
Storeus clapped his hands and smiled.
"I wondered why that bitch teamed up with you, but that's what it was? I thought you two did the bed dance together, but I was wrong."

As Storeus openly mocked, Mesabosk slightly lifted her head.
The eyes visible through her hair were chilling.

"Y-you, you son of a bitch. Sh-shut your trap..."
With a gloomily sunken voice, even stuttering.
It felt like she hadn't spoken with anyone for a long time.
Storeus rode the momentum and provoked her more.
"Spitting in my face is the same as ever, crazy bitch. Would've been less embarrassing if you'd just rolled around in bed."
"You son of a bitch...!"

Mesabosk trembled her hands and pressed her lips hard.
Her eyes alone looked like they'd kill Storeus.
"Storeus."
At the two confronting, Blancaros opened his mouth.
"A warning."
Siding with Mesabosk, he shut Storeus's mouth.
Е n̈ ùm̈а .і̂ d̆
Storeus raised both hands, making a gesture of surrender.
"Mesabosk-nim, Blue-Eyed Tower Master, as Iorga's child, I dare ask Mesabosk-nim a question."

Mesabosk's eyes turned to Erica.
Even under that pressurizing gaze, Erica firmly maintained her dignity as Spawn Captain.
"I know that Mesabosk-nim created a domain in the Far Western Land and have been staying there."
"..."

""You've already been using it as Immovable Land where lifeforms aren't allowed, haven't you? I want to ask what made you change your mind now."
"Wh-why now, why now!? That's what you guys should say!?"
Mesabosk got excited and stood up from her seat.
"I, I didn't want to go there! I was exiled! The one who kicked me out there included your master, Iorga!"

"Iorga-nim was worried about Mesabosk-nim—."
"D-don't just spout smooth words! Th-those un-unbelievable water lizard bastards...!"

Mesabosk openly insulting Iorga.
She looked like she wasn't losing her composure.
But because Erica was right next to her, she could tell.
She was clenching her fist under the desk, swallowing anger and fear.
"Mesabosk. Stop it."
Odograsado intervened to calm her.

"Wh-what stop? What do I stop!?"
"You say exiled, but isn't that not actually true? Because you had a hard time after that, we gave you a place to stay, and tried to look after you."
"Looked after me? Th-that bitch or you! You only obsessed over sending spies to sell my weaknesses!!"
Mesabosk's eyes bulged so much they turned bright red.
"Figuring out which scale is weak, where the gaps are...! Ma-making it all hurt on that side!! Th-thinking only of trampling me!!"
"Severe persecution complex. You think you're enough of a big shot to have weaknesses figured out?"

Storeus pointed with his index finger and mocked.
"You don't know shit, crazy bitch. Get a grip."

"Th-this son of a bitch...!"
"Storeus."
"Mesabosk."
The one who called Storeus's name was Odograsado.
Е̇ ǹ ŭm̄a. i d̃
The one who called Mesabosk's name was Blancaros.
Turning their gaze, Mesabosk's mana spread around Storeus.
If an attack had started, it would've definitely become a mess.
Odograsado rebuked him in a heavy voice.

"I won't tell you to maintain dignity. But isn't there a limit? Coming to a place like this and rubbing around like a dog in heat, did you think you'd be seen prettily?"
There was none of the usual old grandmother-like air.
Е̇n̄ um а . і d̃
She faced the storm head-on, befitting the title Owner of Gold and Faith.
"If you want to fight, I'll gladly keep you company after this ends. So stop pointlessly flapping your mouth now. Understand?"
Storeus looked at Odograsado for a long moment at those words, then said this.
"Right, my mouth was cheap."
Storeus made a zipping gesture and threw his body against the backrest.
With Storeus's side settled, this time she soothed Mesabosk.

"Mesya, I know you must've been lonely. Can't you put holding hands with demons on hold even now? I'm asking you like this."
Odograsado genuinely worried and hoped she'd open her heart.
But it was absurdly insufficient to open Mesabosk's heart.
"Too late. It's too late now..."
She hugged her own body and trembled.
"I'm sick of it... This rotten world... It's not the world I knew anymore..."
Е̄ nûm а
A voice damp with moisture, like she'd burst into tears.
Covering her face with both hands, she caught her breath.

"So I decided... I'll become Twilight."
Twilight.
The moment that word was mentioned, all dragons reacted.
Even Blancaros sitting as mediator, and Nekonata who was doing something else, froze stiff.

"Mesabosk."
Odograsado called that name.
Her soft, warm voice stiffened.
"Is that truly your will?"

Mesabosk hesitated for a moment, then finally answered.
"I, I... wa-wanted it."
E̊ñū m а . i̊ď
"Becoming Twilight means you won't give any more room for dialogue, doesn't it? I—."
"Do-don't preach...!"
Mesabosk's eyes turned vicious.
Odograsado flinched at those eyes.
"When Valdrova unnie was suffering, you did nothing!!"
Odograsado closed her mouth at those words.

Mesabosk trembled and vomited out words.
"Ob-obvious! If I, if I back down here, wh-what will you do? Comfort me a few times and that's it...! You'll spy again to find weaknesses! Like Valdrova unnie, you'll just want me to stay quietly in a cave like a house guard dog...! The one always taking responsibility was unnie! And!!! The one always abandoned was also unnie!!"
Mesabosk got excited, panting, pointing at each one.
"You, you're all selfish bas-bastards...! Me...! Did you think I'd be stuck in the Western Land forever...!? Did you think I'd do that? You bas-bastards...!?"
Ferda could understand Mesabosk's emotions.
Because it was none other than his own story.
Wѐb̆n_о̀ v_е l Е n ǔm.а
A human whose wounds don't heal, emotions dead at the torn ends.
Too weak to endure that pain like Valdrova.

He thought that situation was truly pitiful.
"...Valdrova's husband."
Did such emotions resonate?
Mesabosk pointed at Ferda and called him.
Èn̄u m̂a
"You... since you're becoming unnie's husband... you know unnie well, right? And you know what absurdity she received, right?"
"...I know."
"Everyone here... they're the ones who made unnie like that. Every single one!! They're all in cahoots!"
She flipped the hand she'd been pointing with and spread it open.

"Come this way... You mustn't play into those liars' sweet talk. For unnie to be happy... this is the only way."
Her eyes were saying.
W̃ е̄ b́n̄ о v̆ е_l Е̊ṅù mа
You know my heart.
We're resonating.
Because you know well, you must come.
It was actually so.
He knew what isolation she felt.
He understood that feeling, and thought there was enough justification.

"I'm sorry."
But that was it.
"I already know that Valdrova-nim was treated as a watchdog. That's probably why I could come to that position."
"So it's okay?"
"It's a different problem. Whether Valdrova-nim is treated as a dog is merely the gaze of those around her. Valdrova-nim didn't care about those gazes at all. Do you know why?"
Ferda placed his hand on his chest.
W̆е̃ b̄n о v̈ël Е̊_ñ ùm̃ а
"Because blocking monster attacks is the noble mission she protects. And I need to respect that will."
To Valdrova, demons are enemies needing no compromise.

"So if Mesabosk-nim says your purpose is to create another form of Demon Land by joining hands with demons, you'll become our arch-enemy."
So Ferda thought the same way.
