Dead Queen Nala's
25 End Kegelepan

We arrived at the Dragon Valley. It still looks like a big battle that happened here. And we stopped at the throne of the Monster King who was on the rocky floor. Shirayuuki climbed up and faced both of her hands before the throne. The floor is moving. The throne of the King was destroyed, revealing a dark path beneath it.

"Wait here" I commanded, and go down that dark path. I had to create a fire in my palm to pass through the passageway, until I reached the front of a gate. I also brought out the Book of Resurrection. Seeing him made me think back to everything that happened. The book was burning and slowly the gate opened.

There was only darkness behind the gate. But I feel something in it. Something very powerful, surpassing the Bahamuts I've been fighting.

"Light.."

I heard a voice.

"I hate him. Every time I see him, something bad happens to me. I used to be known as the Star Eater. Going to different worlds, consuming all the light in the sky, created an absolute darkness that slowly made all life disappear within three days. Until the Golden Light appeared and made me lose most of my power.

I then arrived in this world. Trying to switch from Destroyer, to Ruler by enslaving the five Dragon Kings. Everything went well, until the couple showed up. Dragons that become powerful by eating the heart of other creatures, and women with white swords that can manipulate destiny.

And at the end of the wait for my freedom, the new holder of the white sword was the first one I saw.

What do you expect, a creature smelling of death?"

"Your strength" I answered the voice in the darkness.

"I understand-" The sound of iron steps sounded and drew closer. A person with dragon armor and black color was visible. "By eating me. I can feel the souls of the four Dragon Kings that you have fallen prey to. Do you want to be a ruler, O Death?"

"No. I just want to live. But since my life will continue to be threatened until I become the strongest, then arguably mastering this world becomes the condition."

"Then you know the rules. The world doesn't need two alphas. I am Hydra the Plague of Darkness."

The Black Dragon readied his sword. He lunged. Immediately I tried to stop him with the Ice Demon, but-

No ice was created. The Black Dragon has been in front of me and slashed its slash. I jumped back immediately. But he hit my hand. Cut it off.

"What's going on?" I can neither cast my magic nor regenerate. And my hand could be broken easily by it. My opponent this time was very different.

"My darkness devours arrogance. Your magic, or your immortality. You should also be unable to move or move, if not for your existence fused with death. You can only rely on your physique, which is impossible beyond my experience that has destroyed so many worlds since I have existed."

He's back on the lung. I tried to hold him in one hand. He kept attacking me. His strength and speed surpass mine. I can't win.

"Dad!"

Little Jeanne appeared and floated my great sword first to the Black Dragon who almost killed me. Make backwards.

"Little boy, how can you also move in the dark?" The Black Dragon was silent for a moment. "You are their child. So you too are capable of manipulating destiny. Even if you don't seem to realize it."

"Jeanne, what are you doing!? Get out of here!"

Little Jeanne looked at me, and looking at my missing hand, she became very angry and immediately lunged at the Black Dragon.

Compared to me, Jeanne's fight was better. He could move quickly while swinging the large sword. The Black Dragon seemed a bit overwhelmed preventing his agility, but then he got used to it. To be able to read where Jeanne's next attack. He's gonna kill little Jeanne in the next attack.

I jumped at him and held his sword before hitting little Jeanne. This time it felt lighter.

"Hm? Your strength is increasing. You can also use the actual abilities of the sword. It's the same as it used to be. When I almost killed the man, suddenly the woman became very strong. I lost for underestimating him, but this time it'll be different."

We returned to the sword. My attack was far more effective than before, even though he still far outstripped me. Little Jeanne helped me with her attack.

I need to be stronger! Use all your talent and experience! Attack with more force! Stronger!

I can almost match it. But I doubt I can go beyond it. That's why Jeanne is here.

As he continues to focus on me who is getting tougher. Little Jeanne secretly ran behind him. He jumped and spun, preparing with a powerful attack. And I forced the Black Dragon to be at that point. He's conscious, but it's too late. My and Jeanne's attacks are inevitable.

"What!?"

The Black Dragon held the field from Jeanne with one hand, while the sword in the other held me.

Can't do. I have to go beyond it! Leave everything!

"Yahoooo!!" Me and little Jeanne shouted loudly, pushing our swords with everything there was.

His hand holding Jeanne's sword loose, as well as the sword he used to hold me. Seeing that he no longer had a protector, I immediately lunged quickly at him. Poking La Pucelle into his chest.

After a while, I pulled my sword back. The Black Dragon did not react too much with blood coming out of its chest. He touched his chest and saw the blood attached to his hand.

"So this is the end." He then stabbed into his own chest and pulled out his heart.

"What are you doing?"

"Easy you." The Black Dragon handed his heart to me.

"Just like that? You don't look upset."

"Exit from here - I'm going to die."

"What do you mean?"

"As we fight, I sense that most of the power I left behind in the previous world has gained a new, more terrifying container."

"S-Who?"

"You will meet. More importantly, what are you going to do after this?"

"Get White Bahamut, and all my preparations are done."

"So you don't know. White Bahamut has long been dead."
