Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

"Please take a seat and answer a few questions for me."

Without putting on the airs of a dragon king, Bagram casually sat on a chair that was delivered along with the furniture, while Gargantina sat down opposite him tremblingly: "Um, my king... I..."

"What do you think of the Flame Beast, Gargantina?"

Without giving her a chance to speak, Bagram interrupted Gargantina and asked.

Gargantina didn't understand what Bagram meant for a moment.

What do you think about the Flame Beast?

(Isn’t he just a——)

At the moment when she began to think of Sieg, Gargantina suddenly woke up and quickly adjusted her thoughts: "A special individual who is no different from a superior dragon, possessing a powerful force that can greatly affect the current battle situation—"

“That’s not what I want to hear.” Bagram interrupted Gargantina again. “Your answer is what [Gargantina of the Roaring Bloodline] would say. What I want to hear is another answer from you.”

"Answer me, what do you think of the Flame Beast?"

"..."

silence.

Gargantina was speechless for a long time, then she stood up and knelt on her knees in front of Bagram. "My king, you may be doubting my loyalty to the vampires, but no matter what kind of relationship I had with him in the past, I am now [Gargantina of the Roaring Vampires], and I will only be [Gargantina of the Roaring Vampires]."

"He... [Flame Beast] Siegfried, has only brought me an unforgettable humiliation and made me hate him so much. The next time I meet him, I will completely defeat him."

"..."

Looking at Gargantina who swore allegiance to him, Bagram was not moved.

He had heard these words countless times, but these were not what he wanted to hear now.

"Look up, Gargantina."

Bagram said.

"I believe in your loyalty to the vampires, and I also believe that you are still my most capable right-hand man. However, the eight years spent with the flame beasts have indeed changed you, and this is a fact that you cannot deny - I am thinking, Gargantina."

"Is it the right choice to let you, who has changed, return to the Roaring Blood Clan?"

"Are you really suitable to stay in the blood clan and in Hell Valley now? Is this place just a cage that restricts you?"

After returning to the Roaring Vampires, Gargantina had already explained her experiences over the past eight years to the others.

The entire Roaring Vampire Clan knew that during the eight years she was away, she had faced various situations on other planets together with Sieg, not as "Gargantina" but as "Tina".

She saved Sieg's life several times when his life was in danger.

She gave him numerous desperate situations as per Sieg's request and helped him grow.

And when he faced powerful enemies and even the whole world, she never left him, always standing behind him and supporting him in moving forward.

To Sieg, Gargantina is an enemy, a foe.

But what about Tina?

On the other hand, for Gargantina, Sieg is an enemy and a foe.

But what about Tina?

Eight years is a short time. For the upper dragons, it is just a small period of time in their lives, a time that will slip through their fingers if they are not careful.

But eight years is a long time, enough for a superior dragon that has been dormant in Hell Valley to undergo changes that it is not even aware of.

"Have you noticed it yourself, Gargantina?"

"What you described to us was not the eight years you spent as the Heavy Armored Dragon Gargantina, but the eight years a woman named Tina spent with that man."

"My king, it's not...I...I didn't..."

Gargantina tried to deny it.

But Bagram did not give her that chance: "I believe you can return to the embrace of the vampires and become the original Gargantina again, but I cannot ignore your feelings. So, I will give you a chance now, Gargantina."

"If you want to go back to that man, I will let you go, but this time I will expel you from the Roaring Blood Clan completely. You will no longer be a member of the Roaring Blood Clan."

"—!"

Gargantina's expression was as if she had been struck by lightning because of these unexpected words, and she showed an astonishment that she could not suppress at all!

[Completely expel the Roaring Blood Clan]

"My king, you——"

"You have a choice to make, Gargantina."

Bagram said in a deep voice.

"You are very dangerous now. You do want to return to the vampire clan and still consider yourself a member of the clan, but you are nostalgic for your past life. This is not a good thing for the vampire clan. I cannot allow a person with a weak will and position to exist in the vampire clan."

"Think about it, Gargantina - where do you really want to go?"

56. Take the initiative

Amen, the throne city of the Sun God Cult.

Central Tower, 125 floors.

It was the second night after Zieger's conversation with Bagram when he returned here again.

Although he had flown out of the central tower with Himeragi Yukina before, fortunately the Sun God Cult had almost no restrictions on Dragon Slayers, so as long as they didn't do anything particularly excessive, there would be no problem. Therefore, after Sieg came back, he was not questioned by the Sun God Cult - in fact, no one could question him.

After returning to his mansion, Sieg immediately found Setsuna who had returned earlier.

"...I see. Has Mr. Ouma left too?"

After listening to Sieg's account of what happened in the past two days, Xue Cai couldn't help but sigh, "It's been less than a month and two seniors have left one after another. Although I thought that everyone on the ship might leave one day, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"However, since this is Mr. Wang Ma's decision, all we can do is respect and bless him. What's more important is the situation you are facing now. Strictly speaking, there are four Dragon Kings targeting you at the same time, and they may attack you at any time. This is not good news."

"It seems that your hometown is really in danger. It seems that they don't want you to rest at all."

Don't you plan to give yourself a break at all?

Siege, who was slumped on the sofa, smiled and said, "It seems so. This is indeed a love-hate situation."

"I originally just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, and less things would suit my taste. But more things mean I have more opportunities to grow and improve, which I actually like. It's really contradictory when you think about it carefully."

I want to live a stable life, but I can't let go of fighting and events.

Himeragi Yukina sat down next to Sieg: "To be frank, Senior, you can be said to be a somewhat hypocritical battle maniac."

"Who is the battle maniac? I'm not that idiot Kamui." Sieg retorted, "Speaking of Kamui - Carula is not here, did she go to look for Kamui?"

"Well, she left last night. She said she might not be back until tomorrow."

In other words, it's just Sieg and Setsuna tonight?

As if he suddenly thought of something, Sieg lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Xue Cai, there is something I want to ask your opinion on."

"what's up?"

"I just thought of this because of the mention of Kamui. When I fought him before, I showed off you to him. From the purpose point of view, there is no need for us to continue practicing for the purpose of playing lovers, so...should we continue the training tonight?"

Hearing Sieg's sudden question, Setsuna was stunned for a moment, and it took her a few seconds to react: "Is that so... um... what do you think, Senior?"

"I think it's okay to continue or not. To be honest, it would be a bit unfair to you if I terminate it like this. It's like I'm using you and then throwing you away... Well, I'm just making a metaphor, I don't really mean it that way." Sieg explained, "I just think that since it's not easy for me to make the decision on this matter, at least you should make the decision... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well, of course I understand."

Setsuna and Sieg have known each other for quite some time, and she knows that her senior actually has no ill intentions.

The cause of this pseudo-romance between the two was Sieg's slight competitive spirit and desire for Kamui, and now that he was satisfied, there was really no need for this relationship to continue. Continuing would only add to the awkwardness - but if Sieg himself proposed to end it, then it would really be like what he said, and Setsuna would really be [thrown away after use].

After holding his chin and thinking for a while...

"...Well, if you don't mind, I think it's okay to continue."

Setsuna said so.

"After all, I was your supervisor and fiancée, and now I am your relative in the Sun God Cult. If we suddenly change our relationship, it will cause some problems. So... I think it is better to maintain the status quo."

"Now that you mention it, it makes sense... Things related to battle are fine, but I wouldn't be happy if I were bothered by some boring trivial matters."

Although Sieg didn't think that the Church of the Sun God would cause him trouble just because of such a small matter.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

"I understand. Then please continue to play the role of my lover, Setsuna. But...do you still need to do the training tonight?"

"Hmm... it's best to keep going, right? If it were Mr. Ed, he would probably say this - "Since it's something you'll have to go through sooner or later, you should of course prepare for it."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Sieg nodded, "I see. Then everything will remain the same. But we won't need to do this on the Kreinsheed. This way, when we go to live on other planets in the future, our identities will be easy to prepare. We are now bound together."

"That's right."

(Although Miss Stella and Senior Daohua would probably be very envious, right?)

Thinking about the two people far away in the Kingdom of Li Ze, Yukina felt a little guilty, but only a little.

Who made them lose the game of rock-paper-scissors?

"So, senior, do you want to start now?"

Setsuna patted her thigh.

"I heard from Miss Carula about some ways to comfort others. It seems that kneeling on someone's head and helping to clean their ears are ways to improve relationships."

"Really? Then I'll try."

Sieg simply laid sideways on Setsuna's thighs.

----------------------

Just when Sieg and Setsuna had sorted out their relationship.

On the other hand, near Hell Valley shrouded in darkness.

On a land covered with dark clouds and without the shining stars or moonlight, the Sun God Cult's frontline outpost No. 33 in Hell Valley was carrying out its night guard as usual.

Because the middle dragon and the lower dragon will not come out during the day, in the absence of the upper dragon, the war between humans and dragons usually takes place at night.

Fight dragons at night and prepare for the next battle during the day.

This is daily life on the front lines of the Human-Dragon War.

But today—

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM————————!”

Accompanied by a sudden roar of artillery fire, before even the alarm could sound, the entire No. 33 front-line stronghold was completely destroyed by countless shells and lasers falling from the sky!

Then, with the sudden destruction of the No. 33 stronghold as the fuse, before the sun rose the next day, the No. 13 to No. 44 strongholds of the Sun God Cult on the front line were all lost, 11 military facilities were attacked, and the total number of casualties exceeded .

The next day, the Cult of the Sun sent out several investigation teams, but they all lost contact in less than half a day. According to the information uploaded back, the above-mentioned strongholds and military facilities have all been integrated and transformed into a maze fortress, standing next to the Hell Valley, which is suspected to be the front-line stronghold of the Roaring Blood Clan.

In order to ensure that the front line would not completely collapse, and to regain control of the battle lines around Hell Valley, the Sun Saint ordered the entire cult to begin preparing for war, planning to gather the forces for a counterattack within a month.

But before that——

57. I will deal with the Heavy Armor Dragon

Five days after the series of collapses of frontline strongholds.

Inside the great temple on the top floor of the central tower of the throne city.

Looking at Sieg who came before him, the Sun Saint asked in a deep voice -

[Are you serious about what you said? Saint of Flame]

“I’ve always been serious.”

Sieg looked at the Sun Saint who sat on the throne.
