chapter 6
Episode 6 [Black Dragon Olivia](4)
“──Therefore, God Demon King Olivia said that she does not want an alliance with the Achaean Empire.”
The Emperor’s throne room in the Achaean Imperial Palace.
Dante said in a calm tone, politely bowing his head to Emperor Mars, who was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed.
“What nonsense…!”
“How can you ignore the magnanimity that Emperor Mars gave you!”
“You don’t know manners, you don’t have quirks…! This is why demons don’t have dignity!”
“Trying to sway the long-standing traditions between empires, this is an insult and a declaration of war against our Achaean Empire!”
“Yes, man! It looks like the liver has come out of the boat!!”
Unsurprisingly, as soon as he finished his words, murmurs and angry voices erupted from the servants here and there.
What? The generosity bestowed by the emperor?
A tradition between empires?
───The red half and the lower half are also oily resin.
Doesn’t the royal family of the Achaean Empire consist only of vassals with savvy, who call unilaterally enforced agreements by force a tradition?
Keeping away his anger inside, Dante tightly gripped the hem of his clothes.
His parents, who passed away early, always worked diligently to make ends meet, but as tribute to the Achaean Empire, about two-thirds of the harvest was forcibly harvested by imperial soldiers as taxes.
In fact, Dante’s family had no choice but to lead a poor life all their lives.
As a result, my vitality naturally became stronger, and I became so obsessed with working.
Peace was not something that could be easily obtained without any cost.
I want to pour out the curse on the emperor, but I am just a citizen of the empire.
In addition, he is Olivia’s slave and a messenger who has come to convey her will.
To go on a rampage after losing one’s main purpose is an overstatement.
Because that was the way Dante lived his whole life, to be faithful to his work without any personal feelings.
Silently bowing his head and silently accepting their accusations, he closed his eyes.
At that time, Emperor Mars slowly opened his mouth.
“——Well, it doesn’t really matter.”
He said in a relaxed tone, shaking a wine glass of red wine.
“If you don’t want to give it yourself, Take it away.”
“…!”
Emperor Mars gave a sharp smile.
“Being merciful goes this far, I’m not patient enough to just ignore the rudeness of climbing up without knowing the subject, no matter how generous the burden.”
──Asmodians.
Thump!
The atmosphere inside the palace suddenly changes.
A chilly, cold sensation that gave you goosebumps wrapped around you, and a heavy feeling of pressure began to weigh down your body.
“Kuh…”
Dante let out a shallow moan.
This is to live.
That, too, is like a sharpened blade.
This is the power of the emperor, who is said to be the incarnation of war!
Bite your lips hard enough to bleed.
For Olivia’s honor, she couldn’t collapse here.
Wake up, Dante, you are the pride of the Rafrican Empire!
“Whoa… Whoa…”
As I continue to exhale, the trembling in my body gradually subsides.
As I barely managed to regain my composure and lifted my bowed head,
Surereung.
“……Uh…?”
I felt the creepy feel of a blade on the nape of my neck.
…I see.
I’m dying here, me.
“Consider it an honor. Your insignificant head will be useful to me as a sacrifice to announce the start of the war.”
───I’ll let you go at once without pain.
“In the next world, I will be born as a citizen of the Achaean Empire.”
The moment the Emperor was about to strike Dante’s neck with his sword without hesitation,
Stupid!!
“””…..!!!!”””
BOOM!!!
The entire ceiling of the palace was ripped off by the hands of a giant reptilian with black scales, like pulling out hair caught on a comb.
What the hell is this?
The servants who couldn’t scream properly and just opened their mouths in amazement, and Emperor Mars, whose face had gone white, wondering where that spirit had gone.
The vertical red eyes that could be seen through the cracks in the torn ceiling moved back and forth as if looking for something.
Crackle! Jjii profit!!
As soon as they catch Dante, they quickly tear down the remaining ceiling of the palace as if they are annoyed.
In an instant, the emperor’s castle was reduced to a vessel without a lid.
However, the sunlight from the sky did not enter the wide open interior of the castle.
Because there was something covered in black scales from head to toe, completely covering the sun with its huge wings.
“Lie…Say…”
“De…Drea…”
Puff! Fluff, flop!
One by one, the humans start to fall down like marionettes with cut strings.
There were also people who passed out, urinating, and biting dog bubbles.
Clang!
“Yo, why is the dragon here…!!?”
Even Emperor Mars let go of the sword he was holding and collapsed into his seat.
I just feel sorry for my legs shaking as if I had tremor.
No one was able to stand on their own two legs in this place anymore.
“The timing is really George. Miss Olivia…”
Here’s Olivia.
Except for Dante, of course.
The incredibly ferocious black dragon was looking at him with friendly eyes.
At the same time, she hurriedly asked if there were any injuries, and for a while, her eyes turned over when she saw the small scratch on the nape of his neck, probably from Mars’ knife earlier.
aaa!
Olivia, the strongest black dragon among dragons, howled.
Olivia was really super strong and was the strongest among dragons.
Anyway, he howled.
“[Shock and horror, you bastards!!!!]”

As a demon, it has small horns.
