Chapter 98: Handyman Treatment

Demon race.

They were existences that bore similar traits to humans.

Although some of themsuch as elves or dwarveshad friendly relationships with the human race, the belligerent ones such as the beastfolk had always been hostile.

They mainly lived on the southern continent, and they often had skirmishes with the human race, even back when I was still alive hundreds of years ago.

But two hundred years ago, the beastfolk kingdom and many human kingdoms made non-aggression treaties. A full-scale war has never happened since then, but

At this very moment, their army seemed to be coming toward the harbor without any prior notice.

A-according to our estimation, there’s more than ten thousand beastfolk aboard their ship. Moreover, we confirmed the appearance of demonic beasts, too

Beastfolk, as their name implied, shared the characteristics of beasts. They excelled in taming demonic beasts.

That was why they often used demonic beasts in war.

Another person suddenly intruded right at that moment.

Y-your Eminence! We received a declaration of war from the beastfolk country just now!

What? So they really are going to break the non-aggression pact, eh

The one who is leading the army is Beast Lord Meriadel!

The beast lord is leading the army, huh I guess it’s true. But who’s Meriadel? The beast lord should be Baldera, right?

A-about that, it seems the previous beast lord was replaced by an extremist during the revolution in the beastfolk country

No way Beast Lord Baldera was defeated?

Uh, it seemed this wasn’t the time to continue the topic about my purification, but

Dispatch reinforcements to the harbor immediately. Do everything to prevent their army from landing!

Right after the pope gave his orders, everyone was moving in a hurry.

Good grief, what a day One after another My apologies, Holy Knight Limule, this is an emergency situation. Can I leave this person to you? Our country is in grave danger. I have to request reinforcements from ano

Don’t worry about him, Your Eminence. Even the strong army led by the beast lord is not a big deal.

What?

The pope had a dumbfounded look on his face upon hearing an unexpected remark from the female Holy Knight.

Have you forgotten that the most powerful undead is ready to lend his power to us right now?

Eh, me?

KUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!

High pitched screams resounded in the sky.

A giant bird that flew in the sky until a moment ago was falling powerlessly to the ground.

It crashed on the ground and died, not even having a chance to retaliate.

Hmph, this fella is just a smallfry.

Uh. We failed to find a tribute for him. Master won’t be delighted by such a failure.

Good grief, are there no other proper tributes out there? All the fellas recommended by you are smallfries.

The same goes for you. All of them were smallfries, too.

Following that, two giant shadows descended on either side of the corpse of the giant bird.

One of them was wrapped in golden scales while the other was wrapped in jet-black scales. They were giant dragons, each over fifty meters long.

They were the Thunder Dragon Emperor and the Darkness Dragon Emperor, who became a certain undead’s kin due to happenstance.

After they lost the track of their master, they were flying around the world, looking for suitable tribute for him.

The giant bird who just died was only one of their victims.

The giant bird was none other than the legendary bird Garuda that lived on the highest peak of the highest mountain of the continent. The poor bird fought bravely against the onslaught of the dragons, only to get beaten and die.

But even though it only faught me, this dumb bird only lasted for five minutes. Not to mention that it suddenly turned tail and tried to escape in the last minutes This fella is a shame of a legendary bird.

The horse from before was a letdown too.

Sleipnir, huh. That good-for-nothing horse.

In regard to size, the bird could rival a dragon, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy the dragons’ requirements.

It couldn’t be helped that the poor Sleipnir got a low evaluation since the dragons suddenly ambushed and killed it.

Yeah, there are rarely any creatures that can rival our might after all.

The next one is Fenrir, maybe.

Heh, Fenrir. I heard about that fella too. If I’m not wrong, that fella should be a giant wolf. Do you know where that fella is right now?

The neighbouring continent, right?

The heck, that’s too ambiguous. But well, let’s just go looking for it.

Uh.

Thus, the two dragons took off into the sky again, aiming for the neighboring continent.

When the two dragons were flying freely above the open sea, they suddenly slowed down.

What’s that? There’s something like trash floating on the sea.

A ship?

Huh, so those are ships. It seems those fragile humans can’t cross the sea without them.

Uh.

What are you doing? Let’s just ignore those tra Huh.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor suddenly raised a voice of admiration.

Some amazing fella seems to be on one of those ships. Those kinds of gifted people appear from time to time among humans.

Humans? They’re beastfolk.

Beastfolk? Are they different from humans?

The beastfolk are one of the demon races. Despite their resemblance, they are different from humans. Many of them are far more powerful.

That’s a trivial matter. Look, I feel a presence that’s even stronger than the garuda from before amongst them. Let’s take a closer look.

The Thunder Dragon Emperor changed the course of her flight.

A while later, the fleet descended into a panic the moment two giant dragons descended on the deck of the ship.
