In the early morning, the crisp sound of birdsong woke up Lu Qiming who was lying in bed. When he opened his eyes, the white ceiling imprinted his eyes.
"Familiar...that damn ceiling!"
Lu Qiming felt the heavy pressure on his face and the slightly damp and warm chest. He skillfully reached out and touched a thick and hard object on his body. He caught it. Lu Qiming gently dragged it forward, and the ceiling in front of him changed.
For the familiar grey.
Sitting up, Lu Qiming looked at the sleeping Kangna in his arms and smiled softly. This scene has often appeared since he left the Devil's Abyss a few years ago. The only thing that changed was the ceiling from pure white to blue-white...
"Brother Qiming, you're awake."
Beside, Zella, who was roasting a brand new queen bee's paw, looked at Lu Qiming with a teasing look, and brushed various seasonings on the white and tender paw. This was given to her after she got up this morning to have a friendly exchange with the queen bee.
Gift.
"Zera, why didn't you pull Kangna down when you saw it?"
Lu Qiming glanced at Zella speechlessly, gently picked up Kangna in his arms, put her on the bed, and walked away. This house was temporarily built by Mavis using earth magic last night, but because it was a temporary house, there were only a few people in it.
They are all crowded into the same room, but sleep separately.
"By the way, where's Mavis?"
He glanced at the bed next to Zella. The bedding on it was neatly folded, and Mavis was not seen in the room.
"Mavis is watching the sunrise outside and will be back soon."
Zella said as she took off the roasted queen bee paw in front of her and waved it in front of Kangna with a wicked smile.
Sniff!
Kangna, who was sleeping soundly, moved her little nose, opened her little mouth and bit the queen bee's paw, and her whole body was lifted up by Zella.
"Ugh...Brother Qiming...Sister Zela...Ah wu...so many times..."
In mid-air, Kangna opened her eyes in a daze and saw Lu Qiming and Zela beside her with evil smiles on their faces. She mumbled and a pair of small dragon wings flapped slightly behind her, opened her small mouth and continued to nibble on the food in front of her.
"Alright, Zera, stop playing around, go call Mebis back and go directly to the Albares Empire after eating."
Lu Qiming stepped forward and hugged Kangna's little body, took her off the meat and put it in front of her, wiping the mixture of grease and saliva from her mouth.
"Well, I'll call Mavis."
As soon as Zera heard that she was going to the Albarez Empire, she quickly stood up and called Mavis to watch the sunrise. She was very curious about this super magic empire that had almost unified the Western Continent in just a few decades.
After a while, Mavis and Zella walked in together. After the four of them finished their breakfast, they said goodbye to the queen bee below and flew towards the distance. However, at this time, Kangna once again held a big queen bee in her hand.
paw.
When the people left, the queen bee said that she didn't have any souvenirs to give away, so she just tore off a claw and let them take it away.
....
The Leost Kingdom is a kingdom located on the edge of the Western Continent. All major cities in the country are built on mountains. Even the capital of the kingdom is a mountain completely transformed into a city.
Due to the remote location of the Kingdom of Leost, the country remained stable even when the Albarez Empire was aggressively attacking other countries.
However, the days of peace have come to an end. The Albares Empire, which now controls most of the Western Continent, has begun to clean up the remaining countries. As the strongest existence among the remaining kingdoms.
The Leost Kingdom was the first to be attacked. At this time, a large number of soldiers outside the capital of the Leost Kingdom surrounded the place, and the chilling atmosphere shattered the clouds in the sky.
At the front of the many soldiers, the figure was shrouded in black robes and made entirely of skeletons. The figure with purple flames burning in its empty eye sockets was staring at the many soldiers of the Kingdom of Leost and their king who were waiting on the wall in front of them.
"God of Death, we are willing to surrender and submit to the Albas Empire, why do you want to drive us out and kill us?"
The old king with white hair on the city wall looked at the figure below with pain and despair. As soon as the Alvarez Empire attacked his country, he sent someone to deliver a letter of surrender.
As a king, he knew clearly that even if his country had magisters who could rival the Holy Ten, it would be completely impossible to stop the Albares Empire's attack. He chose to surrender for the sake of the lives of his people.
However, the other side completely ignored his surrender letter and marched directly with his army, killing almost everyone in his country. Now only the last capital city is left in danger.
"The great Lord Sprigan (Zerf's disguised name) does not need an ant-like existence, so dedicate your souls and bodies!"
The fire in Bradman's eyes shines with the light of destruction. As one of the demons created by Zeref, he is born with endless desire for killing and destruction. This time it fights for the remaining countries in the Western Continent. It wants to challenge Zeref.
Husband requested.
Within the empire, it must suppress its desire for killing and destruction, but it is its greatest joy to be completely free of the blood and cries of its enemies on the battlefield.
"The whole army retreats. No one is allowed to take action unless I give my order!"
Bradman said as he walked forward step by step. The dark atmosphere began to spread along the place he passed. A faint red light flashed in his eyes and an invisible curse began to envelope the entire capital.
'Lost Magic·Plague Curse!'
Opposite, many soldiers on the city wall suddenly covered their chests in pain, their pupils dilated and dark blood flowed from the corners of their eyes. Residents in the city who were still worried about the fighting situation outside fell down one after another. Some began to vomit blood, and some were ulcerated all over their bodies.
........
For a moment, painful wails resounded throughout the capital of Leost. The skull of Bradman, who heard the wails outside the city, had an excited and terrifying smile on his face. Even the soldiers of the Albarez Empire not far away
He also backed away with fear on his face.
Even if they were in the same camp, they still feared the existence known as the God of Death.
"What a beautiful picture...keep it forever!"
Bradman ignored the actions of the soldiers behind him, and just stared obsessively at the people of the Kingdom of Leost who were constantly wailing on the wall in front of him. He slowly raised his hand to face the terrifying cold air emanating from his palms in front of him.
‘Ice Demon-Destroying Technique: Eternal Freeze!’
The dark ice crystals instantly froze the space in front of Bradman and spread like a tide towards the Kingdom of Leos ahead.
"Dragon-killing magic·Hungry dragon roars!"
Suddenly, a young voice sounded. Kangna's little body fell in front of King Leoste. In his shocked eyes, Kangna opened her mouth and inhaled sharply. The dark ice in front of her was swallowed directly into her stomach.
Moreover, all the curses in the capital of the Kingdom of Leost were turned into black energy and swallowed up in one go.
"Kanna, don't eat randomly."
Lu Qiming appeared next to Kangna and gently tapped Kangna's head, who was clutching her stomach and looking like she was full.
"But brother Qiming, your strength will come out after you eat it, and the black dragon eats this in the first place."
After patting her bulging belly, Kangna looked down at Bradman, who had an incredulous look on his face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he took a deep breath, his face bulging.
"Dragon Slayer Magic·The Black Dragon's Roar!"
Black flames spurted out from Kangna's little mouth, and the air was evaporated and the earth turned into lava. The trees on the mountain in the distance began to turn yellow and burned automatically. The flames in Bradman's pupils below flashed crazily, and the pitch-black ice
It was instantly wrapped into an ice ball and even kept getting bigger.
In the rear, the soldiers of the Albarez Empire saw the dark flames instantly engulfing their superiors. After that, they quickly dropped their weapons and fled backwards. Because of Bradman's previous actions, the army that was already some distance away from the city wall was only half dead.
Egg.
The remaining people stood there and looked at the huge lava lake in front of them, with a dark ice ball in the center of the lake making ripples.
The originally huge ice ball now only has a thin layer left. Inside it, the God of Death Bradman's angry eyes were staring at Kang Na who was looking at him curiously on the city wall. What was originally a sure thing was changed by this.
Guys appear out of nowhere and disrupt things.
And when he thought that after he failed the mission, he would be mercilessly killed by Gilf. Bradman roared and began to mobilize the magic power of his body. The ice ball that originally wrapped his body shattered, and endless black ice crystals spread from the soles of his feet towards the city wall.
Ice spikes emerged from the ground and pierced Kang Na.
"Qiming, is this the guy?"
Mavis stood next to Lu Qiming and looked down at the skeleton Bradman shrouded in black robes. All the cities they encountered along the way were turned into ruins, and a large amount of blood dyed the river beside the city red.
There were a large number of mutilated corpses scattered among the ruins, and their faces were full of expressions of despair and pain.
Mabius even saw the infant baby being held tightly by its dying mother, but the weapon still penetrated the body.
"Well, remember to leave one to report back."
Lu Qiming nodded and looked at Mavis beside him. His beautiful face was filled with cold and wanton murderous intent, which stained the nearby ground with a layer of hoarfrost. This was the first time Lu Qiming saw such an angry Mavis.
"Um!"
Mavis nodded, clasped his hands together and golden light illuminated the sky.
'The splendor of a fairy!'
Endless light instantly enveloped Bradman and the Albarez Empire soldiers below. Everyone in the light turned into black ashes. Only Bradman, who was a demon, struggled for a moment.
"Great Lord Zeref!"
In the light of the goblin, Bradman turned his head to look at the location of the Albarez Empire in the distance. After roaring, his body was annihilated in the light bit by bit. Even the magic items that fell out after death were not destroyed.
Crushed without mercy.
After the light passed, Bradman, one of Alvarez's hundreds of thousands of troops and one of the twelve shields of the Saint, disappeared, leaving only a soldier kneeling on the ground in despair and looking at Lu Qiming and his party on the city wall.
"Go back and tell your king that we will go back to visit him soon and let him prepare. Also tell him to be prepared to be beaten half to death by me."
Lu Qiming looked at the kneeling soldiers below and said calmly, then turned around and the golden holy light instantly enveloped the capital of the Leoste Kingdom.
Regarding the tragic scenes he saw along the way, Lu Qiming understood when he met Bradman. Letting a demon lead the army is not equivalent to putting a rat in the oil tank.
Although Lu Qiming knew that it was not Zeref who gave such an order, he who respected life would at best include these people in his empire.
But he is not a righteous hero, so Lu Qiming decided to let Zeref stay in bed for the past few years because he was unhappy!
