===================

“It seems your weakened body wasn’t the issue, Agentress. It appears your soul was ruined long before that. This sorrow cannot be expressed in words, my foolish little sister.”

Elves.

Even the moment they lost Mother’s blessing, Yunakersus had half-doubted it.

Thinking that no matter how foolish his little sister was, her noble soul would have remained consistent.

It was all my delusion.

Yunakersus’s pupils headed towards the evil of the land.

So that is the demon.

The existence that turned the continent and Mother into this state.

With boiling emotions, he wanted to glide down to the Demon Realm right away.

And burn their land into a state more miserable than the continent.

However, he couldn’t do that.

Because his Mother did not wish for it.

Even Yunakersus couldn’t fathom the World Tree’s will.

But it was the first time.

That She had made a request to him, to them.

So he simply followed it.

Yes, it was boring to fall asleep forever anyway.

In that sense, his heart beat for the first time in a while.

‘It’s been a while since then.’

Dragon-Demon Great War.

The momentary amusement was enjoyable in its own way.

This time, he couldn’t simply enjoy it like in the past.

Because this time, they had to throw away their lives.

“If you have not understood, I shall scold you until you do.”

A battlefield suitable for the old and sick me.

His little sister, Agentress and the elves, of course.

A demon suitable for expressing repressed emotions.

And even a human facing such a demon.

The looks in everyone’s eyes seemed to be prepared.

It seems I can go wild without worrying about anyone getting swept away.

‘If it’s you people, you might be able to realize Mother’s will.’

Bzzzzzt!

Soon, a massive aura surging from Yunakersus’s body.

“!!!”

It was insufficient to express it as simply magic power.

Just how dense and massive of a magic power was it?

Not to mention the magic power becoming visual, the climate of the entire area.

It even began to alter the topography.

Bzzzzzzzt!

It was the moment the striking lightning wrapped around Yunakersus’s entire body.

‘Something’ intruded into Yunakersus’s field of vision.

Its actual body was tiny, yet for some reason, it looked huge.

“!”

It was inevitable.

Because the place where the something, Hiel, had landed was the bridge of Yunakersus’s nose.

Hiel loyally followed his Lord, Ho-yeol’s will. Trusting Ho-yeol without a doubt, he spoke clearly.

“I command in accordance with the Hierarchy of Blessings.”

“…?”

“Please calm yourself, Yunakersus.”

Dragons and elves are different.

Although they were born from the same World Tree, their innate abilities were different like their appearances. Creatures that rule over all things, true to the title, dragons lacked nothing.

But elves didn’t. The World Tree pitied such elves and bestowed a blessing upon them.

It wasn’t that the dragons failed to receive the World Tree’s blessing. They simply didn’t receive it. Because they didn’t need it.

Because their very origins made them perfect beings.

Since they had never received the World Tree’s blessing.

Naturally, there was no way the [Hierarchy of Blessings] could be effective on Yunakersus, a dragon. However, at Hiel’s words, Yunakersus ended up softening his aura.

‘I see.’

He could feel Mother’s aura from the tiny spirit.

Without him realizing it.

Yunakersus’s eyes softened.

It was a warm gaze, as if looking at a young youngest child.

However, you see.

“Unfortunately, I cannot comply with that request.”

Yunakersus delivered it to his mind.

-You need not worry. Everything is Mother’s will.

Telepathy.

It was a dragon capable of tearing through dimensions and traveling back and forth.

Therefore, that voice was also conveyed to Ho-yeol.

-Meaning there’s no reason to be sad even if I die, Dawn.

*

How strong are dragons?

I was able to realize that from the message.

It was a battlefield where elves, the Great Evil, and a transcender were gathered.

If converted to Recommended Level, it would easily surpass a thousand, wouldn’t it?

Meaning it’s pretty hard to display an appearance message.

However, as if showing off, Yunakersus popped up an appearance message.

So when such Yunakersus flinched at the [Hierarchy of Blessings], I was startled.

Was it not a chain letter, but actual luck.

Because for a fleeting moment, I was getting ahead of myself alone.

To think I could work a dragon like a dog using the Hierarchy!

Not to mention clearing the World Quest, [Evil Dragon Hunter].

Wouldn’t I be able to freely travel in and out of the Arcana continent with the dragon’s ability?

Because on the Arcana continent, I was someone who could resurrect even if I died thanks to the [Last Adventurer] effect.

I should be able to gain growth speed while taking risks as much as I wanted.

However, counting your chickens before they hatch is called that for a reason.

I, Lee Ho-yeol.

Being the youngest child with three older sisters, I was able to notice.

Yunakersus’s gaze that seemed to clearly look into my inner thoughts.

It was exactly the same as the looks my arch-nemeses gave me.

After a brief moment of being startled, Yunakersus’s voice pierced through my head.

‘Telepathy.’

Reality and the Arcana continent.

Two completely different worlds.

Normally, it is impossible to communicate via telepathy. But dragons would be an exception.

Not bound by rifts, tearing through dimensions and traveling between the Arcana continent and reality, telepathy would be nothing.

What surprised me was the content of the telepathy.

‘D, Dawn?!’

How on earth do you know that embarrassing name!

No.

More than that.

‘…Dying is Mother’s will?’

Who leaves a will right off the bat from their first meeting?!

Since I’m an adopted child, anyway.

It is natural that I don’t know family matters or the World Tree’s will.

Of course, I don’t have the slightest desire to play family either.

I’m getting treated like the youngest one enough at home.

Moreover.

‘No, will or whatever.’

Mr. Yunakersus.

If you go on a rampage over there, things get troublesome over here, you know?

Even just the elves, the Great Evil, and the transcender are overwhelming enough.

But a dragon.

Aside from clearing the rift, it was on a scale the rift itself wouldn’t be able to withstand. Shortly after the rift’s creation, the collapse progress would break past 100 percent.

‘If such a thing is created in the middle of a city…’

Because of the aftermath of that battle, cities, countries, and continents might disappear from the map. In such a serious situation, I sure flapped my mouth well.

“World Tree’s will. What an excessive delusion.”

Calmly.

“There’s no parent in the world who wishes for their child’s death.”

As if the Emperor wasn’t enough.

You’re consistently upright even in front of a dragon and the World Tree, Granfel.

But I also agreed to some extent.

Hearing only Yunakersus’s words.

It sounded like the World Tree wanted Yunakersus’s death.

Still, as an adopted youngest child, I wanted to hear the family history out.

“We will need a conversation, Yunakersus.”

Of course, there was no way telepathy or talking to myself would reach him.

It was just me making an appointment unilaterally by myself.

The idle chatter ended there.

It’s really time to take action now.

‘Both Hiel and I did our best.’

Let’s admit what needs to be admitted at this point.

Even so, it was not enough to stop this mess.

The only comforting point would be that I delayed the rift creation time.

‘I have no choice but to pour everything out in the rift.’

Let’s think positively.

Once the rift was created, I could face him in person.

Above all, it wouldn’t be frustrating.

Even while rolling my brain, my mouth doesn’t rest.

“I do not believe in things like luck.”

For some reason, I wondered why he hadn’t said that this time. Wasn’t it Granfel’s stubbornness that interfered by bringing up superstition whenever I tried to invest points into the [Luck] stat?

Flutter

The wind blowing with good timing.

“Both luck and destiny are to be pioneered by oneself.”

Yes, of course you’d say that.

It was the moment I was being sarcastic inwardly.

A cluster of light from a portal wavered in the sky above the Arcana continent.

…Wait, a broom is flying in the sky?

Literally revealing itself from the portal was a broom.

But the woman riding on the broom didn’t feel unfamiliar.

That trailing outfit.

‘I think I saw her at the Sociality of Space-Time?’

I’m sure.

Along with Urus, she was another transcender who didn’t pay attention to me at the Sociality of Space-Time.

No, in a way, she was worse than Urus. Because that person had shoved her head onto the table and hadn’t lifted it even once.

‘What is it all of a sudden again.’

Naturally.

I didn’t know the reason why she appeared in this dogfight.

Even so, I shamelessly continued.

“Just like this moment right now.”

…Even if you sink in pride, only your snout would probably float up, Granfel.

*

Witch of the Southern Sea.

She flew across the vast ocean.

There was only one stick of 『Spirit Medicine Cigarette』 left.

Smacking her lips, the witch glared at the southern sea visible below.

“…Octopus head.”

Thousands of legs wriggled in the deep sea.

Even though she knew it was a damn hallucination.

Seeing it made nausea surge up, and it couldn’t be helped.

On top of that.

Auditory hallucinations could be heard from the deep sea where nothing could be seen.

『It is useless to run away.

Accept your destiny.

Begin the end with your own hands.

Do not try to hold onto a painful life.』

“I really crave a smoke.”

『Great Calamity of the Sea』.

The only moment she was free from its curse was when smoking the expensive spirit medicine cigarette.

She wanted to just smoke cigarettes at the Sociality and keep her head buried in the table.

Ruumble!!

Looking at the continent overflowing with massive aura, those thoughts completely vanished.

Perhaps thanks to suppressing the urge to smoke and flying relentlessly.

She had entered the Arcana continent at some point.

Even though she swore never to step foot on this land again.

Even though she had forgotten its scenery so much she couldn’t even open a portal.

The witch smiled bitterly.

“Time is truly terrifying.”

It glamorizes shitty memories.

And only leaves the somewhat good memories.

You’d agree with me too, wouldn’t you?

“That’s why you returned.”

The witch did not delay.

The side effect of the spirit medicine cigarette.

Within hazy memories, she recalled the sight near the Zero Mountain Range.

She pictured the scenery in her mind to establish the coordinates.

And opened a portal in thin air.

The process was incomparably swift.

After coming out of the portal, the witch witnessed it.

Dragon, elf, Great Evil, and transcender.

The culprits that made the continent fluctuate.

The witch clicked her tongue.

Time is really terrifying.

“Whether it be the Demon Realm, Sisley, or the Zero Mountain Range.”

Back in the past, everyone was so well-behaved.

The witch rummaged through her bosom.

Naturally fitting it between her fingers and pulling it out was the last stick of the spirit medicine cigarette.

Seeing as how the situation was what it was, she’d inevitably have to use magic power. Before that, she needed to clear her mind.

-Begin the end right now.

Inhaling the smoke, the voice of the 『Great Calamity of the Sea』 lingering in her ears fades away. Yeah, just shut up like that, octopus head. From now on, you’ll have to be in the position of listening too.

“Phew”

Thick smoke being exhaled.

The witch looked down at the battlefield.

Naturally, her gaze went to the most familiar face.

Urus.

You were really like a fledgling when you first stepped into the Sociality.

While I was burying my head in the table.

You chose a path that was twisted to the extreme.

“Well, pointy-ears are always unlucky.”

Elves who possess overly undeserved looks and abilities compared to their rotten personalities.

Just what kind of blessing were they born with?

The witch spat out sharp criticism towards them.

“Your voice is still as killer as ever.”

To the dragon, Yunakersus, she didn’t have much feelings.

The witch’s gaze shifted for the final time.

“Among them, you are especially tactless.”

The Seven Deadly Sins, a sharp gaze heading toward Gluttony.

Even when glaring at the Great Calamity of the Sea, the witch’s calm temperament rippled violently. It couldn’t be helped.

Because in the story she was about to spit out from now on, no one here, not even herself, could be unrelated.

Vwoooom

The witch’s turbulent magic power.

Thanks to it, everyone on the battlefield noticed the witch’s presence.

But that was all.

Witch of the Southern Sea.

Regardless of how much strength she possessed.

Everyone in this place had a reason they couldn’t back down.

But the words the witch began.

“How about everyone learns their proper place.”

In the story that followed.

“…Is that truly true?”

“T-That’s ridiculous!!”

“No, that’s absolutely impossible.”

“…?!”

Everyone had no choice but to stop their actions.

“I’m sure everyone knows well what it means to bring up ‘that name’ in this land, right? But it’s an undeniable fact. I can swear on my life.”

The witch continued.

“Claudi has returned.”
