Volume 4, Chapter 20 – Black Dragon

According to legend, in the very beginning the entire world was created by the progenitor of the dragon race, known as the Creation Dragon God.

The Creation Dragon God possessed an indescribable and unparalleled might, and it was also the Creation Dragon God who spoke the words that legends never perish and Thrones are eternal.

In that ancient era of the Main World when Inferno had not yet appeared and Sanctuary had not yet revealed itself, the dragon race under the Creation Dragon God’s command were the rulers of the entire world.

As members of the same race as the Dragon God, ordinary adult dragons already possessed Epic-tier strength.

As for the elites among the dragons, almost every single one of them had the powerful might that would now be called Legendary.

Not to mention the various Dragon Kings. Every Dragon King was a Throne-tier existence, and in those ancient times the mighty dragon race were the rulers of the entire world.

Yet in the current Main World, dragons had become very scarce.

Even though they carried the bloodline of the Creation Dragon God and had power so great it could crush the Eight Great Factions, a race this powerful had vanished from history.

The only ones that still existed were the Bone Dragons of the Graveyard and that Frost Dragon, but Bone Dragons were originally dead dragons that had become something else. To put it bluntly, they were not dragons in the truest sense.

One could say Frost Dragon Ysera was the only known dragon left in the Main World today.

Yet in Inferno, in the Abyss…

In this place unknown to the outside world, there lived a massive number of Black Dragons.

Yes, Black Dragons.

Huge creatures with wings that blotted out the sky, colossal bodies, and slit pupils filled with overwhelming majesty.

These were, without a doubt, the Black Dragons of legend.

Reαd оn KatRеaԁіոɡСαfе

It was hard to imagine that beings that should only have existed in legends were actually living in the Abyss, and not just one or two. Their numbers had reached a shockingly vast count in the tens of thousands.

One could say this was a vast Black Dragon race.

Back in ancient times, Black Dragons were the dragon species with the strongest close-combat ability among the dragon race, but at the same time they were also the one type that could not use draconic magic.

However, precisely because they could not use magic, every Black Dragon possessed absolute immunity to magic.

One could say Black Dragons like these were the strongest vanguard in the world.

At the same time, though, Black Dragons were actually one of the main culprits that led to the decline of the dragon race, so the fact that they appeared in the chaotic Abyss could be considered understandable.

『It is my first time seeing so many members of the dragon race here… but it feels like they are not the same kind as Xiaobingxue.』

Watching the countless large Black Dragons spreading their wings and flying across the blood-red sky, Tianyin could not help speaking with emotion.

「Yeah… the fact that there are Black Dragons in Inferno… and so many of them too. If the people of the Main World were to learn of this, who knows what kind of huge uproar it would cause.」

Listening to Samael’s words, Tianyin smiled and shook her head.

As she withdrew her gaze from the Black Dragons, that pair of eyes of hers closed for a moment, and in that instant purple pupils flashed and vanished.

『Samael… come to think of it, this Abyssal power that fills every corner of the Abyss is really convenient… here I can practically maintain the half-fused state without limit.』

「Hmm… I did not expect this either, but this should be because the Abyssal power and the Seven Original Sins are similar in nature…」

『Similar, huh?』

Tianyin murmured.

『Then is there a chance that the Abyssal power is actually the power of Original Sin?』

「Whether that is the case or not does not really matter, Xiaoyin. Rather than digging into that question, it would be better to think about how we are going to bring Fallen Angel Lucifer back as soon as possible。」

『Right, I was just curious… but Fallen Angel Lucifer should be a girl, right? If she really is a girl, it should not be that hard to bring her back.』

For some reason, Tianyin suddenly had a strange confidence that as long as she stepped in personally, Fallen Angel Lucifer would definitely follow her home.

「Having confidence is good too, but when the time comes don’t mess it up~」

『Got it got it, I still have a pretty good grasp of things, Samael, relax!』

For some reason, as she watched the currently calm-faced Tianyin, Samael suddenly felt like something was missing.

No, to be precise, after the matter with that Dark Elf Seles, Tianyin now seemed to have grown up overnight.

This sudden maturity in Tianyin gave Samael an extremely strong sense that it was all unreal.

Even though she felt a little down that Xiaoyin had suddenly grown up, being able to recover her spirits after such a blow was still the best possible outcome right now.

As Samael lost herself in these thoughts, Tianyin’s voice slowly rang out.

『Ah, according to those demons we repeatedly interrogated before, the territory of Fallen Angel Lucifer, the Lord of Pride, is right next to the Black Dragon clan… not only that, the two sides are neighbors and apparently often have conflicts. Mm, on this part those demons were telling the truth.』

「Of course they were. Xiaoyin, you had your sword pressed against their necks. How could they not tell the truth?」

Hearing Tianyin mutter to herself, Samael complained helplessly.

『Mm… it is not that I am unwilling to trust them, but demons are not beings you can casually trust. Even if what they say sounds real, what if they are lying to me? So I had to ask a few more to confirm it~』

Tianyin answered as if it was only natural. At that moment, a pitch-black castle suddenly appeared at the meeting point of earth and sky at the far-off horizon.

『Samael… do you see that?』

Seeing the castle appear at the edge of the horizon, Tianyin’s small face lit up with an adorably delighted expression.

「Yeah, if you can see it, I can see it too, Xiaoyin. If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the castle where Fallen Angel Lucifer, the Lord of Pride, lives。」

『It is definitely that castle. Looks like things have gone pretty smoothly since we came to the Abyss… after all, it only took us three days to find where Fallen Angel Lucifer lives!』

「Alright alright, I get it. Let us hurry over there~」

……

While Tianyin hurried toward Fallen Angel Lucifer’s castle.

Inside that castle, upon the throne that only a Lord was allowed to sit on, a cute, thoroughly timid little girl was nervously looking at the stern-faced Fallen Angels standing below.

“Muu… e-everyone… t-today, today I called you all here… muu, my tongue…”

She had just gotten the first words out when the little girl covered her small mouth and let out a kitten-like yelp, tears filling her eyes.

“Mi… Sister Mihiel…”

The little girl looked pitifully at the female Fallen Angel standing at the very front below the throne.

However, that Fallen Angel only shook her head with a very serious expression.

“Honestly… my Lord, you need to at least act like a Lord… you are always like this and can never harden your stance. If something ever happens to us and we are not here, how are you going to protect yourself with that timid look?”

“Muu… I-I was wr-wrong, I will change… but… muu, my tongue…”

Even though she was clearly admitting that she was wrong, this timid little girl who looked unbelievably cute still ended up biting her tongue again.

“So… so painful… muu muu…”

Translator Note

Alright, the Lord of Pride girl has finally appeared~!

Actually, I don’t know what cute sound that could fit her timid behavior.

As you already know, I’m using “Wuu” for Tianyin, “Uu” for Mengyao, and “Suu” for Bingxue.

For now, I will use “Muu” for Lucifer. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to comment below~

And by the way~! Just a little announcement.

Somehow, I got sick (just common fever, flu, cough, something like that), so I might reduce the premium chapter daily release starting tomorrow until I feel better. And though I hope this won’t happen, there could be a chance that I may not be able to translate at all if I feel really weak.

I hope you understand, thank you~
