Chapter 378
I'm Really Angry
There was only one High Elf remaining on the Serdes Continent.
That survivor was in the Far East, and currently was a respected adventurer.
That High Elf's name was Rize.
Though not highly experienced, with solid mental strength he became the pillar of his team and led them.
Despite not having debuted as an adventurer long ago, he was Gold-grade, and now was on the verge of promotion to Platinum adventurer rank.
Ẇё b n ŏ v̂ е l̇ Е_ń uḿа̃
Such Rize, when taking a break from adventurer work, had a side job unknown to others: he was a teacher.
The ones he taught were four children who had been victims of his mother, Linne.

He was teaching the basics for magic to three of the girls.
Petite build with clear skin.
A beautiful beauty from whom light seems to emanate when she smiles.
A High Elf of such beauty that one could never think he was a man.
Е̊ n.um а
That was why the children followed him so well.
His impression and personality were good too, but the biggest factor was that they didn't know he was a man yet.
They were conducting outdoor mana resonance training.
Since they were young and had suffered abuse, rather than formal lessons he taught them in a way that nurtured their sensibilities.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
As the owner of a Red Circle, it was necessary for the release and control of emotions.
'That's why I brought someone who might help with sensibilities... but.'
Ѐǹ ūm̃ а_
Is this really right?
Such doubt arose.
Gazing down at that invited person, he endlessly questioned himself.
That woman was crouching with the children, looking down at the flower bed.
"The flowers are pretty, right?"
Nod nod.

The Red Woman.
She had two pairs of ferocious horns and even a tail, but on her face she wore a warm smile.
Crouching together looking at the same thing, she looked for all the world like just one young noble lady.
'She likes it herself, the kids like it too, so maybe it really doesn't matter?'
Just as he was holding his nervously anxious heart,
The youngest, Yuri, held something out to her older sisters.
W e b̃ǹ о̌.v̄е̂ľ_ E̊ n̆ ū mа̌
It was a tree branch.
The branches she brought totaled three.

After distributing them to her sisters, she crossed the branches together.
The girls clashed branches against each other, playing at swordsmanship.
When asked why, it was because recently their older brother, Rudelek, was receiving swordsmanship training.
Rudelek was being instructed by the castle's knights, and by Jed.
Е ń u̇ m̆ а̀ . іd̈
Since their minds were connected, those memories and experiences rushed into each of their heads.
However, since they hadn't received formal training, it ended at mere mimicry.
While they were having great fun, suddenly those branches pointed toward Valdrova.
"Are you challenging big sister?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The girls, immersed in the role of swordsmen, nodded spiritedly.
Blunt tips swished about threatening Valdrova, and Valdrova grinned.
Е̌ n u ṁ а
"Then big sister... shall I be the evil dragon threatening you all?"
Rize felt his spine go cold at those words.
Evil dragon, she says.
The dragon who had suffered so much because of that misunderstanding calling herself that made him feel like his throat was tightening.
Of course the girls didn't care.
"Kwaang!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Above all, even making a scary face with those droopy eye corners just felt like a big puppy.
The girls kya-ha-ha laughed and swung branches at Valdrova.
"Kyaaa, it hurts~!"
After taking about two hits, Valdrova flopped down collapsed.
The celebration of victory was brief.
The girls put the branches on the ground and approached her.

They were gathering mana to cast healing magic.
In reality it ended at just gathering mana and drawing a picture similar to a magic circle, but that earnest effort made one smile warmly.

Valdrova sprang up raising both arms.
"Waa, all better."
The girls rejoiced.
"Now the evil dragon will eat you all again!"
Е̄ n.um̌ а̇ .î d̄
She properly got them on the back of the head.
Swiftly snatching, she caught the youngest who couldn't escape.
The youngest kya-ha-ha laughed and enjoyed herself in Valdrova's arms.
It was felt that not just the girls but Valdrova's sensibilities were also coming alive.

'As expected, calling her might have been the right choice...'
As he was thinking that,
Ѐ n̂ ū ma. і d̈
"Master-nim?"
That cold voice heard at that moment.
Ruri narrowed her eyes and was watching where Valdrova was.
She was shooting a gaze filled with disillusionment at the appearance so far from dignity as a king.
"What exactly are you doing holding a child right now?"
"Playing together?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Aren't you playing like a little girl?"
"The kids wanted to. Right?"
The girls united in nodding their heads.
Can't say anything about this.
With that face, she glanced at Rize.
Rize, feeling guilty, stammered a desperate explanation.
Enu mа̂ . і d̈
"Th-that is, we were just playing. Quietly, like girls!"
Rize adding his piece while dripping cold sweat.

He couldn't say they'd been fighting playing the role of an evil dragon until just a moment ago.
"Then shall Ruri do it too?"
"I'll pass. More than that, there's something you need to know."
Valdrova carefully put the youngest down.
Е̇ n u má
"Is something wrong?"
"It's been going on for a while, but the timing is a bit subtle so I thought you should know."
* * *
Ruri and Valdrova stood atop the Lonely Mountain looking west.

There, a storm was raging.
Not a simple storm, but a storm rising in mountain form, gathering above the sky.
Ẇ eb̊ n̆ о v е l _Ӗn_û m̊ а̂
That artificial storm was something weather mages hadn't predicted.
Because it couldn't be predicted, it was called a calamity.
There was only one such existence.
He had built a fortress in the dark clouds and was staying there.
"It seems Storeus-nim is provoking the Far East like before, but."
"Yeah, seems like it."

Valdrova quietly gazed up at that place.
If it were the usual Valdrova, she would have let such a sight pass.
Not wanting to create conflict unnecessarily, she would have turned her back hoping he'd quietly leave this place.
"Since the timing these past few days is what it is, I thought I should report to Master-nim, but did I perhaps do something unnecessary?"
"No. Thanks for telling me."
Valdrova looked up at those clouds and fell into thought.
Е̂nù m̆ а . і ḋ
"Storeus..."
Muttering that name aloud, she thought of him.

Valdrova finally decided.
"Ruri-ya."
"Yes, Master-nim."
"Prepare my spear."
Ŵ е̂b̂n̊ ō v̆е́ ľ Ѐ n̈ú m а̄
Ruri's eyes widened.
"By spear... do you mean that item in the warehouse?"
"Yeah. Feels like I'll need it."
As Ruri who had assisted her for a long time, she knew.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Valdrova had never once given an instruction to bring her spear.
This was the first time, but the meaning was clear.
Eṅ um̀ а
She has an enemy.
That enemy is in those huge dark clouds that move using the sky as ground.
* * *
The Cloud Fortress.
There, all forces prepared to move.
Since Silverwind's betrayal, Storeus's spawn had decreased a lot.

Now barely 100 or so.
It was a situation where they needed to replenish forces, but Storeus didn't.
He no longer did the act of making children.
"Master-nim."
A spawn who had been keeping watch outside approached and spoke.
"Valdrova is coming here."
Ѐ_n ú m à . ĩ d
"Valdrova?"
His eyes sharpened.

He thought about what he'd done wrong, then answered again.
"Excuse me. Valdrova-nim is coming here."
"...Be careful."
He gave that warning and let it pass.
Ё ñ_ũ m а̂. i d
When calling other dragons he didn't care about using their names, but for Valdrova alone he was respectful.
An attitude of 'only I get to look down on her.'
Finally.
Storeus muttered that only with his mouth movements and looked down outside.

Valdrova wasn't visible to his eyes yet.
But the sight of her flying in was vividly drawn in his mind.

"Bring my armaments."
At that order, dragon spawns gathered and armed Storeus.
Storeus's full armament state, not seen even once since the Dragon-Demon War.
From the armaments shining brilliantly in silver, electric fields were undulating.
"Guess I'll have to use that."
"Will you use that dangerous thing?"

"If not on a day like today, when would I use it? It's for days like this."
Storeus headed for the castle's central garden.
There was a platform, and in the exact center a single sword hilt was embedded.
Storeus pulled that sword.
The cry of the dark clouds that had been growling like a fierce beast quieted down.
The name of that sword shining in blue flash was Astrape.
Ênum а. і̂ d̃
The essence of lightning condensed and gathered for more than eternity.
A powerful magic sword that pierced through the defensive magic circle the palace mages had prepared for over three months like it was paper.

He swung it in the air, reviving his senses.
Storeus completed all preparations he could make.
"Hilde."
The woman called Hilde approached his side.
Еn̂.üm ӓ . і.d
"Yes."
"There will be a battle with Valdrova soon. In your opinion, who would win?"
Hilde politely bowed her head and answered.
"Master-nim is someone who has exerted tremendous influence on this continent. The martial power condensed through time will be more than enough to shatter that lazy flame."

At that, Storeus snorted.
"That's your analysis result? Uncharacteristically biased."
Е ñû m̃ а̄
Hilde was flustered at those words.
She often sneered, but this was the first time she'd heard 'biased.'
"I merely followed objective indicators. When have I ever said Master-nim unconditionally wins?"
"But I won every time."
Storeus was a man with strong rebellious nature.
If he couldn't win, he'd charge even more fiercely and win just to show them.

He was an intense storm, and a storm only had value if it blew everything in its vicinity away.
"But this battle will be different. It'll be a very hard fight."
"That cannot be."
"Why?"
"Because I've watched that woman fight. I saw the helpless girl who was pushed back by Godwin."
Storeus recalls the time of the Dragon-Demon War.
Wе̃b́ńó v̆ ѐ l̀ Е́ n̈ ům а
Dragon Valdrova who stood at the vanguard.
Watching her back, Storeus was certain.

"That won't be the case."
"Why..."
"That woman was never sincere. As a king, that is."
"What?"
Ě n̄ um̆a.іd̄.
"You'll find out today why that woman is king."
Shortly after, one woman descended on the plain.
Like a single wildflower on the blue plain, that woman was exceedingly red.
She brought no army, only one Silverwind spawn accompanying her.

"Let's go down."
Storeus raised his sword to the sky.
Е̌n̈ ǔmǎ .і̌ d
Kugugung!
Blue flash swallowed Storeus and his assembled army whole.
With lightning striking the ground, they descended to the floor and in an instant the army covered the plain.
She walked over with modest gestures.
Storeus frowned and approached Valdrova.
"Walking like a little girl, our king."

A greeting thrown with sarcastic intent.
"Nice to see you too, Storeus."
The woman smiling painfully and looking up at him.
"This is Gongwangnyeong land. Bringing an army to a place like this..."
"I know. Military tension, yada yada situation, right?"
"Yeah. Something like that feeling."
Ẃе bnо v̆ё l Еñ.um а̊
Neither wanted to use difficult words.
"But do we have to mind human laws?"

Pajijik—.
Lightning rose from his hand.
"If I drop the lightning made by this hand, your humans will burn like mere insects."
"You didn't do that though."
Ĕń ŭm а. i_d̆
"Right. Instead I chose to come see you like this. You know why, right?"
"Don't know."
Valdrova said so.
"If you don't tell me, I don't know things like that."

"More foolish words again."
He made a fed-up face and circled around her.
Ӗnů m а . і̆ d̀
"You've always been like that. Trembling in fear of being hated, forcing smiles and wagging your tail."
"....."
"But you know what? We found that appearance of yours more uncomfortable. Why does a king mind our eyes?"
"I didn't want to be king."
That was sincere.
"I just did it hoping you all would just be happy."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Then why not just leave it? Why act the king now?"
"Because I have to."
She raised her head and met Storeus's eyes.
Those eyes shone strongly.
"Because I want to be happy now too."
Carefully thrown selfishness.
Ӗn̄ u m̆ ȧ
"Become happy by killing us... even pretending to be pure is getting tiresome, I see."
Storeus scratching his head rested the sword on his shoulder.

Ferocious lightning sparked.
"Good. Now I can properly see your true colors."
His gaze became even more vicious.
"What true colors?"
Ẃ ӗ b̄ n̄óv e l Еń u m а
Valdrova frowned.
"The true form of our great, great war hero."
Speaking as if sneering, he held up his own sword.
"I've wanted to fight you once like that. A true duel staking life and death."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Must... we really fight?"
"What nonsense now? Our lives were struggle itself, and we were created for that purpose."
W̊ e bn̆ óv е l̈ .Е̊ň ü mа̊
"...That's true."
Immortals created to subdue Primordial Chaos.
Valdrova didn't want to.
Storeus saw through her inner thoughts and smiled nastily.
"Fine. Then let's do this."
He rested the sword he held on his shoulder.

"We'll decide fate according to our victory or defeat."
"What fate?"
"Your subordinates, and my subordinates. If you lose, they go with you, and if I lose, mine follow me. How about it?"
"....."
"Of course if you refuse this proposal, that Hestia or whatever play-house will all be burned down. Even if you grow big, stopping all our kids is impossible."
He sneered and poked Valdrova's wound.
Еn̂ uma . ǐ d̈
"You'll see the sight of crying tears of blood again."
Storeus smiled nastily.

Valdrova bit her lip hard.
"Still, don't worry. That human bastard Ferda, I'll make sure to keep him alive."
Valdrova's body flinched.
"Never enjoyed homosexuality, but that man seems just right for a toy. What to do first? For now, that guy's butt—."
Ӗ.n̄ û mа̃
"Stop."
At that moment, the air changed.
The dragon spawns filling the plain felt it distinctly.
It wasn't the hot air felt as summer approached.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A feeling of being heated from within the moment you breathe it in.
The heat grew increasingly intense, finally burning through the body as if unable to be grasped.
Еn̈ ūṁ ӑ
One by one they couldn't endure and fell to their knees.
The source of that heat was those golden eyes.
"Storeus."
It was the primordial fear coming from the body of that woman everyone thought was foolish and lazy.
"I'm really mad."
