Western Front, 1st Corps Garrison.
The 1st Legion, organized around the warrior Rania Van Trias, is made up of a small number of people. Rania, who is in charge of the front line, does not need much support, and even half-hearted support can actually hold her back.
However, if you ask whether the skills of the members of the 1st Corps are poor, that is not the case. Aside from their individual strength, they are knights who have been active on the battlefield for a long time.
In short, it means understanding the situation quickly.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A loud noise erupted from the center of the garrison.
The moment they saw the dust rising into the sky and the torn barracks fluttering in the air, the knights belonging to the 1st Corps immediately gathered at the place where the impact occurred.
Several flashes of light and shaking ground.
Although the thick dust covered their vision and made it impossible to see beyond, the knights swallowed their dry saliva. Before the rising dust had even settled, a series of shocks rang out from inside the dust.
Boom, boom!
The knights stood on the shaky ground and adjusted their spear swords. This is where the warrior’s barracks were originally located. The fact that a battle took place in this place made it easy to anticipate the existence that was in that dust.
Champion, Rania Van Trias.
She’s fighting over there. With something. As the shocks rang out in succession, the knights gradually widened their distance. Surrounded by dust, they waited for the dust to clear.
Flashing.
Something fell from the sky towards the ground. While the blue flash of light turned their vision white, the roar that followed with time lag echoed in the knights’ ears.
Kwarung!
Blue lightning pierced through the dust.
It is so thick that it looks more like a pillar of light than a thin bundle of lightning. The dust gradually cleared along with the wind pressure that occurred immediately after the thunder struck.
“···uh?”
The sight revealed through the crackling, crackling, crawling currents on the ground… did not reassure the knights even though the battle was over, but rather shocked them even more. they saw The appearance of the enemy the hero was opposing.
The ancient dragon wizard, Jormun van Dragonic.
A wizard who is the closest being to the stars and is considered a god-like being on this earth. The wizard’s neck was being grabbed by a warrior who was not as good as the Elder Dragon wizard, but had a reputation comparable to that of the old dragon wizard.
A warrior who grabbed the ancient dragon’s neck.
The ancient dragon’s staff rests against the warrior’s chest.
If either side moves even slightly, one’s head will be blown off and the other’s heart will be pierced. It seemed that way to the knights, but it was a little different from the perspective of the two aiming spells at each other.
“Let go.”
The ancient dragon said calmly.
Raniel frowned.
“Why don’t you clean this up first?”
“Let go first.”
“You want me to clean it up?”
The ancient dragon let out a long sigh and put away his staff. Raniel seriously considered giving another blow, but she was conscious of the eyes of the knights watching her and eventually let go of the ancient dragon’s head.
“Are you a little upset?”
“Would it have been resolved?”
Raniel glared at the ancient dragon with a gaze that seemed to be looking at an insect. He didn’t do any significant damage, leaving only soot on his clothes.
‘···Not done yet.’
Tsk, Raniel clicked his tongue.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to cause damage. But if I brought it up, I would have to face the end.
‘Not yet.’
Before the color of the lightning that bounced over his fingers changed, Raniel lightly waved his hand and shook off the mana.
“Was it noisy? sorry.”
Raniel waved his hand at the gathered knights.
“Go back. “Because it’s no big deal.”
Several people asked questions, but Raniel did not answer the questions. Raniel said that there had been a small argument and continued his steps.
“······.”
“······.”
Raniel looked back.
An ancient dragon wizard was following him, shaking off the dust from his clothes. Looking at the ancient dragon with bug-like eyes, Raniel blurted out.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s back to being polite again. “I prefer speaking informally, but this is a bit disappointing.”
“······.”
Raniel glared at the ancient dragon with eyes that looked worse than insects. The ancient dragon smiled and shrugged his shoulders, seeming to like that contemptuous gaze.
“You said you had something to say, didn’t you?”
“Send a letter or something. “I don’t have anything to talk about, so I’d like you to get out of the way.”
“Would you like to see it if I send it to you by letter?”
“I plan to tear it up and throw it away.”
“Of course I have to say it in words.”
“f*ck you.”
I’ll follow you around all day and whine.
Let’s see who wins.
The ancient dragon wizard muttered that and started following Raniel. At first, Ran El scoffed, telling her not to be funny, but contrary to her expectations, the ancient dragon wizard did indeed keep his word.
So, I followed Raniel for over a day.
2.
“It looks like you’re finally willing to listen to the story.”
Raniel looked at the wizard in front of him with wide eyes.
“Is there really nothing to do?”
“I have a lot of time.”
Unlike Raniel, who lived a busy life where he had to make every minute of it possible, the ancient dragon wizard had time to spare. Raniel, who was exhausted, sighed and said.

“Speak quickly and get out of the way, then.”
In the end, Raniel raised the white flag first. The ancient dragon smiled in satisfaction and only then began to talk.
“Goddess of ashes, a god born from the future.”
The ancient dragon tapped the tip of his staff.
“I knew she was involved in this era three years ago. I knew about it, but I didn’t intervene at that point. “You probably know that, right?”
A being from outside of providence.
There is no way the ancient dragon would not notice the visitor who came by twisting the time axis. Raniel also knew that even though he noticed, he did not intervene.
“I know.”
“okay. But, you’re probably wondering why I’m bringing it up now?”
“Get to the point. “Because I’m not really curious.”
To be harsh. The ancient dragon sighed and said.
“At that time, my intervention was meaningless, so I didn’t intervene. “Because it would have been meaningless for me to touch it at the point where I had moved from the future to the past.”
But, he added.
“I saw it a while ago.”
Not long ago, the ancient dragon saw the trend.
It wasn’t the future that was going to happen. As of that day three years ago, ancient dragons have been unable to read the future. What the ancient dragon saw was the original future.
“Goddess of ashes, the path that sinner walked.”
A future that should have happened.
A future that disappeared due to her intervention.
The ancient dragon who came to see the future opened his mouth and spoke.
“You broke every taboo.”
A deal, a contract with an ancient god, the usurpation of power, the suppression of starlight, the mutation of the body, apostasy, heresy, and finally, the twisting of providence and even time.
“What you did in the future can never be forgiven.”
“It’s terrible, really.”
Raniel let out a laugh.
“So you’re saying it’s right to sit back and wait for destruction? “Is it right for the whole world to become a devil, for all people to become apostates, and for humanity to perish in the end?”
“If the flow points to destruction, then that would be right.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Raniel blinked.
The ancient dragon sitting in front of her was still expressionless.
“I answered that if the flow, providence, and discipline point to it, then it is right. “If destruction is natural, it would be right to do so.”
These were not empty words.
The man in front of me was really thinking that. Raniel’s gaze upon the ancient dragon grew cold.
“Don’t even try to prevent destruction, just let it perish?”
“That’s not what it sounds like. I’m not really a fatalist. If you can stop it, it would be better to stop it. However, it means that we must not go against providence in the process.”
“While the other party ignores providence, truth, and laws?”
“Still, the rules must be followed. “That’s what discipline is.”
“and.”
Raniel was impressed.
“You were crazy.”
“I heard that a lot. “Ten thousand years ago.”
“Well, don’t you think it’s very contradictory?”
Raniel shot back in a sharp voice.
“Do you know what you are talking about?”
Even as he spoke, Raniel was confident.
There’s no way this old lizard in front of me doesn’t know.
Even though I knew it, I didn’t seem to have any intention of bending my beliefs to the ancient dragon. The beliefs that have been solidified over tens of thousands of years are already like a solid wall.
“It doesn’t make sense, really.”
“I’m not asking you to understand. “It’s a warning.”
“I don’t really care about your crazy beliefs. Okay, so do you want to take responsibility for something?”
Raniel sneered.
“Are you here to tell me to take responsibility for my future self’s actions?”
The ancient dragon shook his head.
“That’s not right. “Because it’s already been done.”
“Then why did you come here?”
“It’s an extension of last time.”
extension.
“I came here to tell you that if you are thinking of choosing the same method as you in the future, you should stop.”
Don’t cross the line, that’s what the ancient dragon was saying.
“Do not challenge providence.”
The ancient dragon’s golden eyes sparkled.
The person sitting in front of Raniel is not a being bound beneath the ground. He is a god who can reach the realm of transcendence at any time, but limits himself and lives with his feet on the ground.
“It will be torn apart.”
“Can you do it?”
Raniel laughed at God’s warning.
“You already did it once, to my future self.”
In front of that ridicule, the ancient dragon opened his mouth.
“okay. “Just as you learned something through your life from the future, I also learned something.”
The ancient dragon closed his eyes and opened them.
The entire space was torn, and thousands of eyes appeared beyond the torn space. All of these are the powers possessed by the ancient dragon and powers taken from God.
“My future self neglected you until the very end. I would have believed you. He must have tried to keep the rule of not intervening. Because of that, he would have lost most of his powers.”
However, the ancient dragon declared.
“I decided not to do that this time.”
The space was torn even wider.
What appeared in the torn space were the eyes of a huge dragon. The giant dragon that Raniel saw on a mural not long ago. The eyes of the last ancient dragon left in this world stared at Raniel.
“If I see any signs, I will intervene immediately.”
Three platinum-colored rings came together in the ancient dragon’s eyes. The golden eyes slowly turned red. Starlight was contained in the dragon eyes of the primordial god.
“No matter what the cost…”
A sinner.
We will punish criminals who break the rules.
“I’m going to kill you. “Because I no longer trust you.”
I don’t know what you’re planning, but if it breaks a taboo, stop. The ancient dragon warned like that. A stronger warning than last time.
“under.”
This is Raniel, who cowered in front of this intimidation before. However, the current Raniel instead snapped his fingers in the face of intimidation. Raniel’s spell was overlaid on top of the torn space.
Kwarung, with sound.
Dozens of flashes of light struck like lightning in the eyes that appeared everywhere. Dozens of eyes were dripping with blood as the spell appeared without warning.
“Is that the end of what you have to say?”
Raniel stood up.
Looking down at the ancient dragon wizard glaring at him, Raniel added.
“When you’re done talking, get out.”
With those words, Raniel left.
After glaring at the back for a while, the ancient dragon tapped the air with his staff. The ancient dragon, which was about to return to its original position after passing through the place where the stars exist, stopped.
【Didn’t I tell you?】
Someone was standing there.
【It won’t be of any use.】
She said to the ancient dragon.
【Don’t you know that blocking it doesn’t mean it will be blocked? Just as they couldn’t stop you in the past, they won’t be able to stop you this time either. It’s just that the roles are reversed. This is also a flow.】
It was a familiar voice.
It was a voice I missed so much. However, the ancient dragon had a hard expression and glared at the owner of the voice.
“Don’t give advice to fake subjects.”
【······.】
“She couldn’t say that. That’s just your thoughts, polluted by becoming one with the stars. she is···.”
The ancient dragon muttered.
“She spoke to me until the end.”
The ancient dragon looked at the fake and laughed.
“Stay disciplined, even if it means ending everything. “That’s the only way to honor him.”
It’s alcohol.
The spell she carved into the ancient dragon upon her death still binds the ancient dragon to this day, tens of thousands of years later. As time goes by, it gets stronger.
“I just keep that promise.”
3.
“Belnoir.”
Chloe laughed.
“Who is that woman?”
“Chloe, wait a minute…”
“I asked you.”
Chloe has never been coercive.
Chloe always smiled and spoke softly. She is now asking in a forceful tone.
“Who is that woman?”
Belnoa realized that he was now in danger.
I was very aware that I had made a big mistake.
Belnoa briefly trembled as the crisis warned by the goddess approached faster than expected.
“Huh, Chloe? You said last time that I now serve a god, right? Lord of the Shadow Dragon. God of the beginning.”
“Yes, but why now?”
Chloe had often seen Belnoir talking into the air. At first, he thought Belnoa was crazy, but he remembered being relieved when he asked Raniel and received the answer that he was not an imaginary god but a real one.
But what does that have to do with work now?
As Chloe’s eyes flashed a little more blue, Belnoir hurriedly put his hand between the shoulders of the goddess who was carrying him on his back and held it out toward Chloe. As if showing off her doll.
“This is him. “Goddess of the beginning.”
“I feel like I’ve become something.”
The goddess smiled and waved her hand.
“Nice to meet you, kid. “I am…”
The sun rose over the horizon.
The shining sunlight signaled the end of the night. At that moment, the Shadow Dragon Lord disappeared as if the snow was melting, and her words did not continue until the end.
“······.”
“······.”
As the goddess sat on Belnoa’s shoulders, looking disembodied and in a disheveled state, there was silence between Chloe and Belnoa. An eerily quiet silence.
“Belnoir.”
Chloe opened her mouth.
“Let’s talk.”
Cold sweat ran down Belnoa’s back.
