Dragon’s Bloodline

Chapter 99



There was a massive dragon inside.

Its existence alone could instill fear and awe into those who glimpsed it. The sacred, chaotic Dark Dragon Valis.

Even with its gargantuan scale, no one other than Chris knees buckled.

Tranquil Area.

Serges magic blocked the pressure that was weighing down on Chris. With that, Chris slowly stood back up.

Are you alright?

Yeah, sorry.

Chris was keenly aware of the fact that she was weak.

Good job in coming back.

Even her voice contained a certain pressure. Without the assistance of his magic, even Serges mightve buckled as well.

Valis-chan!

Valis, seeing the familiar person that was the shouting Irina, once again shrunk her giant figure.

Just like the last time, her appearance was that of a human woman, very much like Ria.

I take it you visited for something concerning the Millennium?

Dark Dragon Valis, I succeeded the title of Great Sage.

Serge stood ahead of the others, saying that.

However, Valis didnt respond. Shed likely already known just by looking at him.

With that, I learned the meaning behind the Millennium. Even so, I dont truly understand what the meaning of the Great Collapse is.

Valid nodded, so he continued to talk.

Please teach us the meaning of the Great Collapse.

It holds no meaning to humanity.

Valis replied.

It was an answer that wasnt an answer.

Switching in for the speechless Serge, Ria stepped forward.

The Millennium has started in the world above. Unlike the ones thatve happen so far, demons and humans arent fighting against each other, instead looking for ways to live together. Will that path lead to the Great Collapse?

Yes, the Great Collapse will occur soon enough.

Is this Great Collapse thing a planetary collapse?

Valis stubbornly refused to answer her.

For some reason, she wouldnt tell them. But why?

Would something happen if she told them?

If so, what was that something?

That something might be what shed told the Demon King.

Can humanity survive the Great Collapse?

Ria changed her question.

I do not know. However, a few humans should be able to make it through. Just like how the elves, dwarfs, and demi-humans did in the past.

So it was like that after all?

Ria made a prediction. Before, there used to be something called the Great Collapse.

And it was something like coming into contact with another world. Like how Heroes are summoned from other worlds.

Even humans were said to have come from another world. Assuming that to be true, what happened to their original world.

Did it not collapse, falling into ruin?

Valis, I have one last thing I want to ask.

Rias conjecture could easily be cleared up with this single answer.

With your strength could you destroy this planet?

I could.

Valis hesitated a few moments before responding.

Rias conjecture solved, she would discuss with the rest about it later.

However, that everyone didnt include someone.

This is the first time that those three have come here, is it not?

Perpetual youth.

It was something that could even be called a curse.

That is, it was a blessing that would turn into a curse as you prayed for death.

No, Chris! If you dont want to grow old, just use magic!

The one to stop her was Serge. However, Chris shook her head.

Youve resolved yourself to live forever, havent you?

No, Serge only sought out strength.

The perpetual youth was only something that came along with it. When the time came, he would end it all by throwing himself into a volcano or something similar.

However, Chris voluntarily chose it for herself.

Being able to live together for eternity would be better than being alone.

This was also a curse to Serge.

Bathed by the light Valis sent forth, Chris chose a life of immortality.

Stupid perpetual youth isnt something anyone should want

Serge knew of the expression that would sometimes appear on Azels face.

However, all that Chris knew was that it was the path that Serge chose.

Moreover, there was something that Serge didnt know.

Leaving behind her birthplace, the only thing left for Chris was Serge.

Finally, the last one was Carla.

Now that, its my turn for a question.

Finished with realizing their wishes, Valis spoke her wish.

Ryuke Riana, are you resolved to become my successor?

Resolved its not like I have any other choices, do I? Fortunately, Im interested in going along with you.

Shrugging her shoulders, Ria spoke her answer.

In that case, you can leave. The next we meet, everything will come to an end.

With that, Valis sent Ria and the others back to the surface.

Six people appeared at the entrance to the Dark Labyrinth.

One of them was a girl with flaxen hair, her head hanging.

Ill go. Theres no meaning in me being a hostage at this point.

Conveniently, it was night time. It wasnt impossible for her to fly.

Yeah

With Rias terse response, Asuka took out her black wings and left towards the sky.

That girls overworking herself.

And so, five people remained.

Now then, we should summarize everything.

Ria spoke.

Right now, this world had four continents.

This largest was the one they were on, the Dragon Bone Continent. The other three were: the Dragon Fang Continent, the Dragon Claw Continent, and the Dragon Wing Continent.

However, it was said that humans currently only resided on the Dragon Bone Continent.

Setting aside how the other three continents human populace died out, its said that around twelve hundred years ago, immigrants from the other continents settled in the southeastern part of the continent.

They were the present Seven City Union.

Both the reason and the cause was unknown, but mankind currently only resided on this continent in this world.

This continents population was said to be somewhere around six hundred million, that and was just humans.

Supposing that only one person out of a hundred would survive, that meant that around six million people would survive.

Even so, only ten thousand people remained after the Great Collapse.

To think that only ten thousand people just barely survived their world coming into contact with this one

Looking at how many people would normally die in a Millennium, it was six hundred times better than a Great Collapse.

It was a sobering fact.

Moreover, Valis said that she didnt know if they could survive the Great Collapse.

And she didnt deny the collapse of the world.

Possessing infinite connections to other worlds, then killing them off. Was that what the Great Collapse was?

I have a headache

Ria truly was at wits end. She couldnt go with killing demons at this point.

Even setting aside Asukas example, they were more human-like than the humans. She couldnt do something as ghastly as killing them at such a late point.

I need to meet the Demon King.

She didnt know what there Demon King was. However, she needed the knowledge he possessed.

In the end, Ria came to a conclusion.

She would meet Demon King Ars.
