Dragons Bloodline

Th-thats

An existence shed previously fought by placing her life on the line, a Black Dragon.

Its a giant monster battle

Existences whose bodies were similar to the masses of the largest mountains were duking it out, each blow easily holding the destructive force to level a city.

Following what Ohma told them to do, Carla and Serge went over to her. If a human body got hit by those attacks, itd definitely pop.

Terrew looked in the direction of the demons. They didnt seem to feel like moving.

Really, it turned into such a ridiculous thing.

With jet black hair and Dragon Eyes, she closely resembled Ria.

Dark Dragon Valis had made an appearance.

Ohma didnt even ask why she was here. Next to Terrew was a light blue-haired Dragon, Lanna.

That girl should be a person of our world by now, so why is she so attached to her original one?

Unable to understand, Valis shook her head.

In truth, not even a fellow reincarnator like Serge could fully understand it.

He was an everyday student in his former life, but now she was in a position that allowed him to converse with this worlds leaders. It could even be said that his dreams had come true.

From what hed been told before, she had chosen a somewhat unusual occupation for herself and had lived the life she wanted.

As an aside, according to what Labyrinth had told him, Labyrinth was a girl that refused to go to school in her previous life. Thanks to that, she even kept herself closed up in a labyrinth now.

When he explained that, Valis sighed gently.

That would do something for sure.

Even growing to the point that shed be able to obtain Valis power as her successor was doubtful.

Ohma returned Valis concentration on the spectacle happening before them.

The climax of the battle was about to happen.

A battle between a God and a Dragon was a terrifying sight.

Valis and Lanna had erected a barrier in order to prevent too terrible a disaster, but attacks would occasionally pierce through it and cause an explosion far in the distance.

It was same for the Dragons power, though, as hardly any of it made it all the way to the God. Even its darkness breath, something that could destroy all creation, was obstructed by its light and was unable to reach it.

It had turned into an all-out melee in the end.

Meanwhile, the Dragons claws, tail, and fangs pierced the Gods body.

Witnessing this mythical battle, Carla felt an impulse surge within her own body.

Bearing both the blood of a God and of a Dragon, Carla felt as though she could see this battles outcome.

The Dragons had once destroyed the Gods.

Ria would win.

Inside the battle, Rias consciousness had grown faint.

With her claws, with her fangs, and with her tail.

It mended itself, but she has certainly given it a wound.

Ruin.

It severed one of its wings, but even then, the Dragons assault didnt cease.

Even when its heart was penetrated, the Dragon lived.

How can I win against something like this

When he fought together with Carla, Guinevere, and the others against that Dragon in Manesh, they overcame the Dragons defenses with magic, allowing Carlas sword to penetrate its heart.

But this presence in front of him held a strength and fleshy body that was incomparably stronger than those Dragons.

Was it a God Dragon? No, that was impossible. Hed seen Valis strength back in that Millennium and it was much, much stronger.

In truth, Ars had one last trump card. However, it wasnt something that he should use now.

The Gods arm tapped the Dragon, but the Dragons attacked didnt end.

No, its fangs almost piercing its neck.

A gigantic dragon easily double the size of this Black Dragon sealed its movements.

Its arms pulled back on Rias neck and wing, keeping her away from Ars.

Seeing Ria still continue to rage, three more Dragons made a move.

Four God Dragons.

Gigantic figures that dwarfed even the largest mountains pinned down Rias body.

Losing her mana, her Dragon body vanished.

Holding onto Gallach and her armor in tatters, Ria collapsed.

When she opened her eyes, there was an Angel.

No, it was a familiar face.

What happened

When she placed her hand against her forehead, she felt sweat covering it. Carla wiped that sweat off with her handkerchief.

Her memories from its end were still fuzzy. But it felt like shed reached a stalemate of some sort.

When she turned to look at who said that, it was Ars, who was sitting on the ground.

Yep. I surrendered. But you didnt stop attacking me, so the God Dragons had to step in and stop you.

What?

The battles conclusion ended with something so sloppy?

Valis and the others?

Ria turned to look at the source of the voice and saw the four God Dragons standing.

Ars stood up as he said that. For a loser, he still had plenty of composure.

Staggering, Ria stood up as well. She places her hand on her waist out of habit and realized her katana wasnt there.

She felt Gallachs existence. It was within Ria.

I was able to collect it just in case, but, well

Saying that, what Serge presented to her was her beloved katana split in two.

Seeing Ria look as though she was about to cry, Ars held out his hand.

You can mend it?

Restore.

You should be able to use this magic like this as well if you live for a thousand years.

It was a moment that would have allowed her to cut him easily if she wanted to. Within that short moment of tension, Ria produced a sheath with her sparsely remaining mana and put Nagasone Kotetsu in it.

What are your intentions?

Ars shrugged his shoulders. However, he looked at her with an unusually serious expression on his face.

So then, what do you want to do?

What do I want?

In truth, Ria didnt think that shed win. Shed fought against the Hero from one thousand years ago and who was the current Demon King. She thought that his power was on an entirely different level.

Even now, her winning didnt feel real.

No, maybe it didnt feel real for another reason?

It wasnt her swordsmanship, nor her martial arts. It was the strength of the Gift shed gotten when she was born into this world. Although it was Rias power, it wasnt a power that was related to her previous life.

Seeing Ria look troubled with her arms crossed in front of her, Ars once again shook his head in amazement.

Onee-chan generally doesnt think about things beforehand

Ria didnt even complain when Serge said something rude about her. Because she really hadnt thought about what shed do after the battle.

Ria thought that she would come to a decision if she fought. At least if she died, she wouldnt have to worry. Thats what she felt, at least.

Ars pointed out the choices hed thought over many times. He had eventually chosen to destroy Earth from those three, though.

Valis said that quietly, but it was a death sentence. Even if she decided to stand with Earth, the result of that would be obvious.

Well that was some new information.

I didnt say? From the start, Earth is a world where people with strong souls cant be reborn into. Nevertheless, the world is teeming with humans. People coming here after being reincarnated or summoned from virtually the same era is the same thing as ripe fruits falling from their tree.

So even if she did nothing, the result wouldnt be any different?

Humans only came from the twenty-first century even though the flow of time was different Ria thought it was strange, but she hadnt looked into the matter.

If you told me that first

Valis spoke calmly, Ars and the other God Dragons nodding in agreement.

Serge muttered.

As Ars explained, the Earth was a world whose trunk was thick even two thousand years ago and had reached its limits due to the humans living on it.

As a result, it became impossible for the world named Earth to give board to all of humanity.

But there should have been clues to solving the energy and food problems?

Even so, the Earth will perish. Its branches will extend no further.

Even if shed asked how she knew something like that, shed probably answer by saying she knew because she knew.

And thats why I think itd actually be a kindness to accept immigrants from the Earth. Our technical civilization isnt too developed, but we can make up for a considerable part of it through the application of magic.

So there was only one choice from the start, wasnt there

There was no choice but to destroy the Earth.

Ars held up a finger as he spoke.

Ars continued by saying the best way would be to turn China and India into no mans land. They certainly were areas with huge populations though

If you go to solve Earths problems, the will migrate the demons onto the other continents and the balance can be kept. It isnt impossible for our connected worlds to separate, either.

Thats great. Itd come with Earths population being decreased, but they wont have to lose their birthplace. This world wont have to have a human-demon war, either. I might be the one to say it, but isnt that the best option?

Was that a Demon Kings fate?

Ill fight against the Earth.

And well accept immigrants. Well allow the Earth to perish.

Whyd you decide that? I think my plan would be a lot easier.

Although Valis said that, that isnt why Ria made that choice.

Ars felt that it would just be an excessive thing, but nodded nevertheless.

I cant sympathize, but I can understand. I dont want to do something that sounds so troubling as someone in charge though. Well, Ill follow what the winner says.

Rias blood spoke to her.

The blood of a Dragon, of an existence that protected this world, tried to bind Ria.

A massacre that would even cause Stalin and Mao Zedongs faces to pale. Perhaps as long as the human race existed, this choice would cause Rias name to be forever engraved in history.

At any rate, this story wouldnt have a happy ending. It would likely be retold eternally as a tragedy.

The one to prop Ria up by her shoulders was no other than Carla.

You know that Ill understand if you ever get fed up with me, right?

In response to Carlas smile, Ria smiled wryly.
