(POV switch – Cardis Weir Dehaubalz)

“Tch…! Annoying!” (Cardis)

“GUOOOAAAGGGHHH!” (A Dryg)

I dodge the huge claw strike from the Tyrant Dragon A Dryg, letting out a tongue click.

Even though I have a light attribute, which is very effective against undead, this legendary dragon is indeed beyond the norm in every way. Its size, its destructive power, its ferocity. That said, as the eldest brother, I cannot show weakness.

I steeled my heart and charged toward A Dryg, the tip of my Supreme King Spear Rhongomiant aimed at it. However…

“…Undead made of bone, it’s a bad match.” (Cardis)

“GUOOOAAAGGGHHHHH!” (A Dryg)

My strike only barely shaved off a bit of bone, failing to cause any real damage.

It would be good if I could aim for A Dryg’s core, but the bones are in the way, preventing me from reaching it. So, what must be done is first to destroy the exoskeleton and expose the core.

“Still… this is troublesome.” (Cardis)

“Dammit! What a tough bone, hey!” (Owen)

On the other side, Raphael, facing off against another dragon, the Annihilation Dragon Gwiver, shook his head, and Owen shouted. It seemed they were also struggling over there.

“Kukiki… how about giving up and apologizing to His Majesty the King? If you do so now, I think Lord Harold’s life will be spared, and you’ll all be forgiven.” (Barth)

“Shut up. None of us have any intention of following King Eibar, nor do we have any intention of lowering our heads.” (Cardis)

“I see. What a shame… it would be troublesome to prepare a replacement…” (Barth)

“So, the result is the assassination of Wilfred and Owen being appointed as the Fourth Prince.” (Cardis)

I don’t know what his purpose is, but King Eibar is desperately trying to get us to fight each other and make the Fourth Prince the next king. What he needs is someone with the title of prince and doesn’t care who that person is. I’ve understood that well after hearing the words of this man, Barth.

“But, the same goes for us. We are also fighting to decide the replacement for King Eibal.” (Cardis)

“Unfortunately, none of you will be able to take His Majesty the King’s place. You don’t know how remarkable that person is.” (Barth)

This man… seems to praise King Eibar excessively. From my perspective, at least his political skills are nonexistent, and his character is likely the worst of any king in history. …No, perhaps it’s because of that, he’s valuing him. This man, too, is human scum, just like the rest.

*Clink*

“Oh? Trying to target me is futile. I’ve set up a barrier, and if it comes down to it, the two dragons will protect me.” (Barth)

“I see. Then, it’s best to destroy what’s left of these dragons first.” (Cardis)

From the way things are going, it doesn’t seem like Barth is going to attack me directly. So, I’ll remain on guard, but focus on destroying the Destruction Dragon A Dryg.

However… I can’t leave unscathed.

“Come now. This Cardis Weir Dehaubals will send you back to the land of the dead once again.” (Cardis)

“Guooh!” (A Dryg)

As I aimed the tip of my spear, A Dryg roared. The intimidation almost made me fall to my knees, but I gritted my teeth and endured. And then…

“Now! Twin Gods Break!” (Cardis)

Two beams of light flew toward the bones covering A Dryg’s core as it charged toward me. One of them struck the bone, shattering it and creating a small gap, revealing part of the core. Then…

The remaining beam of light pierced through.

“!? GUGIEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” (A Dryg)

A Dryg let out a scream and collapsed to the ground. After a while, A Dryg disintegrated into sand and disappeared. However…

“…I can’t go any further.” (Cardis)

The attack I received from A Dryg when using Twin Gods Break had left a gash on the left side of my abdomen. It seemed that this was the limit for me, but then…

“Sa-Saintess-sama!?” (Cardis)

“Please be quiet.” (Christia)

The Saintess, who was supposed to be facing a magical beast at the entrance of the royal palace, appeared and began healing my wounds. The effect of her healing magic was incredible, and my wounds healed in no time.

“Hmph! How cheeky for a dragon made of bones!” (Lizette)

“Take this!” (Knight)

The princess of Capetian Kingdom and the holy knight guarding the saint launched an attack at the remaining Gwiver. Raphael and Owen also joined in.

“GA…GU…” (Gwiver)

As if the previous struggles were a lie, Gwiver collapsed and fell silent.

“Hehe, it would be troublesome if they were revived here… Kyrie Eleison.” (Christia)

The two dragons, wrapped in the light from the saintess, were purified and their very existence was erased from this world. Although they should have shared the same light attribute, the difference in power was evident.

“S-Sorry…” (Cardis)

“Hehe, the thanks come later. More importantly, let’s quickly join Haru-sama.” (Christia)

The Saintess interrupted my words of apology and said so.

Ah, I see… the saintess, too, is thinking of Harold. I understand that feeling. I, too, am in love with someone I cannot have.

The three of them ran toward the audience chamber.

I watch their backs with a wry smile, and along with Raphael and Owen, I follow them… oh, I completely forgot.

“!? Ga…gu…” (Barth)

“This is my mercy. I’ll let you have that spear.” (Cardis)

I throw the Supreme King Spear Rhongomiant and pierce Barth’s back, then hurry to the audience chamber where Harold and the others are likely fighting.
