"A little bit to the right, yes, yes . No, stop, one tiny bit to the left now . Annnnnnnd perfect . Don't touch anything . " A very old dragon was currently instructing a younger one for an extremely important task . After losing his previous favorite stone, the immense monster had been permanently afflicted with bad rest at the earliest time of the day .

However, a stone capable of resisting his large body was rare, and one plain enough to not have all those tiny pikes could even be considered as a treasure . Fortunately, he had managed to find one by sheer luck, only that his body was beginning to be old . Fearing that he would break it by accident, he rather asked one of those young brats that were born barely a hundred years ago . As for the young creature in question, well, it was still far too small to refuse the orders of the lazy elder .

Extending his body to its maximum, the old dragon felt the tension in his body being slightly reduced . Taking a few seconds to get a truly comfortable position, he sighed in happiness as he found it . "You can go now . Ah, compared to the previous one it is delightful . Don't look at me like that, when you will be old you will understand that pain . Look around you, even some that are half of my age began to behave like me . "

And in fact, he was right . Most dragons when they woke up enjoyed resting for a few minutes under the first rays of the sun . Only that they didn't care as much as the old one about where they were resting, as long as it was not a pit . Still a bit grumbling about being exploited just to carry a stone, the young dragon returned to its lair to get something to eat . Leaving the other one in peaceful relaxation .

That lasted about ten seconds . "What again?" Looking at the same dragon that left, he was visibly displeased . Was it too much to ask for a well-deserved rest after a hard day of wo… hard night of sleep? But when he looked at what was held in his hands, he realized that his past actions may have future consequences he didn't want . Before he could even begin to shoot to throw it far away, the blue crystal began to emit a light that had been seen a long time ago .

"Drop it and run!" Beginning to do the same, he stopped for a brief moment, before looking at where the crystal had ended up . On his precious plate stone . The one he had finally found after so many months of search . However, it was too late, as something seemed to be leaking from the crystal and a rift was opening in front of their very eyes . The explosion that followed made every dragon turned their eyes toward it, only to notice two newcomers .

COUGH COUGH

A large creature covered completely in fur was violently coughing, as a large amount of dust had been created with the destruction of the rocks and stones around the crystal . As for large, he was half of the height of some dragons, something the latter rarely saw . Next to him, a very small human child, completely black was searching for her surroundings, before locking her gaze on one monster . Only after seeing the extremely weird smile the oldest of them made did they remembered that they had already seen that dark soul a long time ago .

"Well, you survived and brought a friend . So, my job was accomplished . " Faced with such pathetic and weak excuses, most of the crowd felt a bit of shame being related to that lying dragon . Since when their proud race had to resort to such vile methods . When Leilade was gone, he had to explain to the rest what happened, and with the result of that time, it was not a problem . But with her coming back, it turned out it was indeed an issue .

But to their surprise, the large man covered in fur approached the dragon and bowed slightly . "Thank you for being petty and bringing the Empress of the Underworld to me . Without your betrayal to the promise you made, it wouldn't have been possible . " Plastering a smile on his face, the old dragon was mixed, not knowing what to answer . In fact, he was still pondering if it was an insult, a compliment or both at the same time .

"Well, everything turned out good for you, right? So no need to do anything someone might regret later?" Still feeling a bit unsettled when being starred by that tiny dark thing, the old dragon was relieved to not see her moving against him . In fact, it was only later that they learned from the dwarves how she annihilated all the spiders infesting the depths of the mountains by herself . Causing them to have less food overall, even if the spiders rarely had good taste .

"Depends on your answers . How long pa.s.sed between my departure and my arrival?" The cold childish voice was finally heard for the first time, as it was her companion that mainly did the talking . However, that question was a bit tricky for the old dragon as he was not affected by time as much as the other races . Or, in other words, he had no idea of how many days for real they were gone .

"If I say a lot of days, you will not be pleased, hum?" Looking at the tiny thing in front of him and seeing her face completely unmoved by his words, he guessed so . "You do realize that asking to me, a dragon, a completely immaterial thing like time was not a good idea?" Once more, the face of Leilade did not change about one single iota . Not making the bystanders feel too good about it . Not that they expected her to take it with a smile .

"Ok, I would say at least a year . Maybe two . But definitely not three, I think . " Sneaking a peek, he retracted his words . "Not three, definitely . " However, his answer shocked neither Willem nor Leilade, as she had already guessed that if the werewolf only stayed approximately two hundreds of years in the foreign plane, her long travel of nearly one month and a half would result in such a thing .

Looking at the dark soul, the last surviving Dark G.o.ds of the legends, as it seemed, was carelessly displaying at his claws, while sometimes opening his mouth to show the incredibly sharp fangs that were present . Only one order would be enough for him to jump directly at the dragon, but since he had absolutely no knowledge of this planet, besides what Leilade told him, he refrained himself from attacking someone that betrayed the trust of Candaith .

"Then let's not waste any more time with inferior creatures . Willem, come . " At the mention of inferior creatures, of course, the surrounding dragons did not feel great . One almost began to produce a spell before he was quickly stopped by his close neighbor . It was not in their interest to fight them head-on and none could predict if they would be victorious in a direct confrontation . The news about the prowess of Leilade had reached even the snowy peak in which they reside, meaning that they didn't dismiss her for her small appearance like they did hundreds of years ago .

"As you wish . But one day, you will be presented with a choice . This time, do not think that breaking your words will work . " Leaving with that ominous threat, the werewolf did not wait any longer before agilely descending the mountain, following the shadows in the air . As they were traveling, the giant monster couldn't help but ask about what they should do now that they confirmed that at least a year had pa.s.sed .

"Nothing had changed . I will seek the dwarves and see what happened during my absence . Considering what I did for them, I expect that at least they won't be as foolish as the dragons . As for the others, they shouldn't have died, but anything is possible . " Even now, he could not see the dark soul even showing a hint of worry about her companions . However, for him, he did not wish for Davion to die . From all the names she gave, it was the only one that was familiar, as the two often had to talk with all the movements between a.r.s.ene and Artosis .

Recalling when they left the plane, even then she did not seem to have any fear as she reactivated the portal left by Candaith with the help of the One Reborn . At that time, the only thing showing on her face was maybe malice, as she enjoyed ruining the carefully placed stones just to arrange it for her purpose . In fact, it took quite a few tries and many weeks before she managed to activate it properly .

At that time, he was almost certain she was smiling evilly because she managed to outdo Candaith, even if it was slow . During this time, his loyal followers that lived with even for all those years sometimes came to ask advice and such . The problem was that they were bothering Leilade while she was trying to create the portal, and in the end, he had to forbid them the access, or else they would be killed by the dark soul .

Fortunately, the fact that Leilade claimed that the number of undead will begin to dwindle was confirmed . Following this, numerous reports talked about the number of undead that was present in the territory of the freed humans, all showing a clear reduction . With that and the hope that the future will be a lot calmer, the demons finally left the two at their own devices, not without regularly providing fresh humans until they left .

Shaking his head to dismiss all those useless thoughts, he realized they were not so bad after all . Without them, the travel would be even more boring, as Leilade was particularly mute if it was not important . Of course, as one of the most important demon commandant on his planet, it was not that big of a deal . But from the moment he was transported to this forsaken world, he had always been surrounded by people he could talk to .

Even if the demons were a lot of the time dumb and he had to explain so many things that appeared evident to him, it was a true conversation . Unlike right now where he was just freezing his fur in the snow with the sole company of dark floating thing in the air that didn't speak to him in the last day . Because he was apparently too slow and couldn't pa.s.s through the walls . So she had to search for an opening created by the dwarves .

At that time, he realized why Candaith and her were so angered by the presence of the others . Their very behaviors were the complete opposite of each other . One was a smug arrogant mage that couldn't help but brag all day, while sometimes being capable of having a normal and friendly discussion . On the other hand, there was a cold, almost dead inside girl that showed more care to the shadows inside her body than to the one accompanying her .

It was also the first time he felt he was lucky to have suffered so many days with someone claiming to be the best in the universe, for he was clearly fonder of that type of person . Even right now, she was clearly destroying the ground to pierce a tunnel for him, all without talking at all . "Did she find something? Will she tell me about it? h.e.l.l no . " Inwardly grumbling, he still tried his best to not be too far behind, and he finally caught the scent of a living creature .

"Ahhh . The nasty and stinking smell of beer sticking to a beard . There is definitely a dwarf down there . " But even as he was saying this, all he obtained was just an empty look from the dark soul, like he was saying something obvious . Deciding that since it was the case, he would only talk to himself from now on, he did not miss the opening of the gate . Nor did he missed the fully armored dwarf behind it that shouted loudly . "Leilade Octavius!"
