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

A long silence.

From an objective point of view, both Bagram and Zieger are now standing on the edge of a cliff.

Sieg's life and death now depends entirely on Bagram's decision. He is indeed pretending to be bold and taking the initiative to attack, but if he goes astray even a little bit, he will die on the spot and even his regenerative ability will not be able to save him.

The same thing happened to Bagram, except that even if he went astray, he would not lose his life. All he lost were his subordinates, his right-hand man, his blood clan, and his dignity as the king of his clan.

"——You, do you want to live?"

After a long time, an unknown amount of time had passed, Bagram suddenly spoke.

"You said before that you just wanted to live. So - return Gargantina to me. In exchange, the Roaring Blood Tribe will not attack you."

"Do you think I will believe what Long says? The premise of a deal is trust. Do you think I will believe that you won't kill me after taking Tina back?" Sieg said aggressively.

And the next moment——

"boom!"

The dragon claw suddenly rose up!

Sieg also quickly raised his silver sword to block, but the claw that attacked at that moment still nailed him to the ground!

"Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"Then you can do it!"

Sieg grinned.

(What a bastard!)

Bagram now only has this feeling of frustration in his heart!

Gargantina's whereabouts were clearly right in front of him, and he was only one step away! But just because magic could not directly take effect on the fire beast in front of him, he actually fell into such a passive situation and could neither go up nor down!

To be honest, if it wasn't at this time, he would never take such action. He would only capture Sieg and bring him back to the deepest part of Hell Valley for severe torture!

But now the Machine Dragon arrived.

This means that he must get news about Gargantina now! Otherwise, after Sieg is taken away by the Machine Dragon, he will lose his important subordinate forever!

Emotionally speaking, Bagram wanted to kill Zieg right now, but his rationality prevented him from delivering the fatal blow!

(I am... the king of my clan!)

Looking at Bagram, whose eyes were filled with confusion, Sieg fell silent, and then—

[Lord Sieg, Lord Em has something to tell you. It's advice on how to resolve the current situation.]

(Eh?)

Just as Sieg was about to say something, Brunhilde's voice rang in his mind. After a moment's pause, and after listening to Em's advice, Sieg looked up at Bagram and said, "King of Roar, since you and I have reached a point where we can make a concession, what do you think of this?"

"I think—"

Sieg repeated Em's suggestion word for word.

After another long silence, Bagram released the dragon claw that was suppressing Sieg.

“——【Remove】”

“Buzz————————!”

As Bagram spoke, the light that enveloped the man and the dragon, completely isolating them from the outside world, immediately disappeared!

Outside the light shield, the Machine Dragon and the Immortal Swordsman who were confronting each other were distracted for a moment by the sudden dimming of the environment, and it was during this moment, in the extremely short moment when the light disappeared—

【Main Gun: Balmunk】

[Output power 30%——Transmit]

“BOOM——————————————!!!”

From a height of 9000 kilometers above the ground!

Two months later, the extinction light that wiped out all dragons came again without anyone expecting it!

Bagram and Sieg, who had just escaped from the light shield, had not had time to adapt to the darkness before they were once again engulfed and enveloped by the divine punishment light that descended from the sky! The two of them were in the darkness for perhaps less than half a second, but it was during this half a second that the man and the dragon were once again submerged in the light!

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz——————————!!!”

The earth disintegrates in the light.

The sky was torn in light.

Two months ago, the light that attracted attention from all parties attracted everyone's attention again this time!

When the light faded, all that was left was the Roaring King with smoke billowing from his body, and a pit centered on him that was even bigger than the one two months ago!

"Asshole..."

Under the gaze of the Machine Dragon and the Ageless Swordsman, the Roaring King slowly transformed into a human form and looked up at the sky.

"——or let him get away."

92. After the War

Three days later, on the Clinhild.

“Ugh~~~Haa ...

Waking up from his bedroom yawning, Sieg changed his clothes, rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom.

"what......"

"Tsk!"

The moment he opened the door, Tina, who was wiping her face at the sink, immediately caught Zig's eye.

After a slightly awkward glance at each other, Tina dipped the towel back into the water and wrung it dry, saying, "What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come in and brush your teeth and wash your face?"

"......Um."

Sieg nodded, walked over to her, took down one of the toothbrush cups placed side by side, moved it to the side, and started brushing his teeth.

Seeing this, Tina snorted in annoyance, put the towel on the rack next to her and walked out directly from another entrance. After quickly washing up, Sieg returned to his room, changed his shoes and went to the dining area.

only--

"Uh......"

"Tsk!"

The moment of going out, he met eyes with Tina who came out from the next door again, as if what happened in the bathroom before was repeating itself. The two looked at each other awkwardly again, and after a while they walked out one after the other.

Soon, the two arrived at the dining area.

[Good morning, Mr. Sieg, Ms. Tina]

Brunhilde, who had already prepared breakfast here, greeted the two with a smile.

[Breakfast is ready, please enjoy it slowly]

"Oh my~~~ You two came together today. You really look more and more like roommates. How come you have developed such a tacit understanding in just a few days?"

Along with Brunhilde's voice, the voice of Em, who appeared on the screen on the wall next to her, was heard.

After choosing a seat and sitting down, Zig sighed, "We're not living together, we're just living next door to each other. And who knew she would get up at this time? If I had known, I would have slept a little longer."

"That's what I want to say. I just sleep until I wake up naturally. You should get up early." Tina, who was sitting across from Sieg, couldn't help but glared at him. "You were beaten into such a horrible state by my king before, and you are still so lazy."

"Then you can beat me to death this afternoon."

"Okay, wait for me this afternoon."

"Just wait."

“Hmph!”×2

Looking through the screen at the two people who snorted at each other and then began to eat breakfast, Em's smile became even brighter: "Oh my goodness~~~ What kind of old married couple conversation is this?"

[Please stop joking, Em-sama]

After interjecting in time to prevent Em from further provoking the issue, Brunhilde sent a document between Sieg and Tina.

[Lord Sieg, Lady Tina, this is the latest observation data from the Clinshid - the war between the Cult of the Sun and the Roaring Blood Clan lasted for more than two months. After three days of buffering, it seems that it has finally stabilized today.]

[The dragon slayer named the Undying Swordsman returned to the Sun God Cult yesterday, and the upper dragons of the Roaring Blood Clan also returned to the Hell Valley. The next period of truce should be quite long.]

"Yeah, that's good."

Zieg said as he picked up the document and began to look through it.

Three days had passed since the night when several fierce battles took place and even the Dragon King was involved. During these three days, perhaps both sides realized something, and the Roaring Blood Clan and the Sun God Cult both chose to temporarily cease fire. Although neither side withdrew all the soldiers deployed on the front line, the intensity of the fighting on both sides was visibly reduced.

To others, this may seem like a very abnormal behavior, but if you look into the reasons, it is not difficult to understand.

The purpose of the Sun Cult this time is only to reduce the fighting power of the Roaring Blood Clan, and they are not prepared to fight against the Dragon King. With Bagram's appearance, the Cult has no chance of winning without being fully prepared. It is wise to stop in time and retreat after making some sacrifices. It can also be said to be [stop loss in time].

As for the Roaring Blood Clan——

"However, even to this day I am still surprised that the Roaring King would actually accept a deal with us."

Sieg glanced at Tina, who just glared back at him coldly.

Em smiled and said, "After all, under the circumstances at that time, it was best for both of you to take a step back rather than being stuck there. I just listed the exchange conditions that both of you could accept."

【Conditions of exchange】

Or to put it in other words, the reason why Sieg can sit here peacefully and even have breakfast with Tina like a family is all because of the deal he made with Bagram three days ago after each of them took a step back.

At Em's suggestion, Zieger proposed the following deal to Bagram:

1. The Roaring Blood Clan and him will not invade each other from now on. Sieg will not attack any upper dragon of the Roaring Blood Clan, and the upper dragon of the Roaring Blood Clan will not attack Sieg. It doesn't matter if it's a middle dragon or a lower dragon. The two sides will sign a peace treaty. And in that situation, Bagram will help Sieg retreat.

2. Sieg can return Gargantina, but just in case, the return time is the next time Sieg visits Hell Valley. Before that, Sieg will ensure Gargantina's safety, and the next visit to Hell Valley must be within ten years.

For one man and one dragon, these were acceptable requests at the time after both sides took a step back. Although Bagram and Sieg added several additional contents later, these two were the main ones.

After that, in order to retreat back to the Kreinshid, Sieg and Bagram also cooperated in a play. Specifically, they fired the main gun at the right time to cooperate with Bagram to lift the magic. Originally, the fuse of the war was the main gun fired by the Kreinshid. It was something that both the Cult of the Sun and the Roaring Blood Clan cared about very much. It was a thorough [third-party force].

By creating the fact that "a third party intervened and attacked the King of Roar", both sides had a reason to cease fire and withdraw. The upper dragon called "Machine Dragon" also left immediately after that. According to the observation of the Crainshid, it went to the island country called "Japan" in the far east.

Thanks to this, now almost all forces are concentrated on the [third-party force] Crainshid. I am afraid that for a long time in the future, all forces will be wary of this [third-party force] that can easily send down large-scale destructive beams. It is not impossible to use all means to detect it.

But this didn't matter to Sieg. After all, the altitude of the Clinshid was 150,000 kilometers above the ground! Even the Sun God Cult couldn't reach this altitude! So there was no need to worry, not to mention -

"By the way, Miss Brunhilde, are you ready for the [Jump]?"

Sieg suddenly asked after putting down the documents.

93. Tell us what you want.

jump.

It is a special mode of movement that is used only for ultra-long-distance travel in the universe. It allows people to move directly from one planet to another, crossing a distance of unknown number of light years in a short period of time, and even interstellar travel across galaxies is no problem at all.

It can be said that if you don’t want to keep looking at the universe outside the window for hundreds of years, then every ship capable of interstellar travel should have jump technology.

The Krinshid can naturally also complete the jump.

[It's ready, Master Sieg]

Brunhilde nodded slightly.

[A planet that meets your requirements has been selected for you in the database - marked as Earth No. 52. You can jump at any time, but the jump consumes a lot of energy. After the jump, I hope Miss Tina can work hard for a while.]

"Tsk! Again?"

Hearing this, Tina's face was immediately filled with disgust. Although she didn't understand what the two were talking about, since it [consumed a lot of energy] and [required her to work hard for a while], the only thing she could think of was naturally - a magic absorption device.

"I've only been locked up for a month!"

[Yes, but a jump requires 50% of the maximum energy of the Klinshid, and in order to avoid various hidden dangers, it is more appropriate to maintain the energy at around 75%. Of course, you don't need to stay in there for a month this time. There are magical resources on Earth No. 52, and it only takes 5 days at most.]

"...That's okay--No!"

Tina slammed the table: "What do you mean by going to other planets? Are you going to break the contract with my king?!"

"If I could, I would, but that's not the reason for me to leave." Sieg took a bite of his breakfast. "If I have to say, I just want to become stronger through other means. Although it was only less than two hours, I once again clearly realized the fact that [I am still very weak]."
