The Black Annihilation Dragon realized that this time, he would be completely killed.
–Should I attack first, in a desperate gamble? Or should I try to avoid this attack with all my might? Even if the chance of escape is low, should I bet everything on running away?
In the Black Annihilation Dragon’s mind, which instinctively tried to avoid “death,” several options arose.
The chances were slim, no matter what.
But if I did nothing, I’d surely die here and now.… Read more

“Knowing you, you might eventually develop a sealing magic to imprison me eternally or a technique to completely erase me. But when will that be?”
“……”
“You seal me. To manage the seal, you’ve relied on the help of your descendants and other humans, and you’ll continue to do so. …You’ll continue to burden many people with the heavy responsibility of keeping me sealed. The children of humans who have worked hard and cultivated their powers to save many people will spend their entire lives just watching over a sealed, speechless me… How long will you continue this?”… Read more

Therefore, the Black Annihilation Dragon chose to use his silver tongue to confirm the facts.
— Even if I point out his lack of strength, it would be meaningless if he realizes it’s just a wild guess… To shake his heart, I need to act as if I know everything. — I have no choice but to show it. The world’s strongest dragon’s finest oratory skills!!
And so, the Black Annihilation Dragon made his move.
“Kah kah kah……”
Facing his greatest enemy, the Black Annihilation Dragon let out a chuckling laugh.… Read more

However, the response he received was the worst possible outcome he could have imagined.
It was an utterly hopeless answer: Siegfried had broken his own seal, reincarnated, and waited, anticipating that he would be lured here by the scent of his descendant.
The Black Dragon felt fear rising from the depths of his body at the realization that everything had been in Siegfried’s palm, and at the terrifying tenacity of a man who continued to pursue him even after four hundred years.… Read more

Chapter 12: Reflections in the Eyes of the Black Dragon
“For four hundred years, I’ve thought of nothing but revenge against you…!”
“…”
Faced with these words uttered at point-blank range, as if the massive mouth was about to swallow him whole, Shion remained unfazed, simply staring straight ahead.
(So, it was as I thought.)
Upon hearing the words of Schwarzwaldius, the Black Dragon of Annihilation, Shion inwardly nodded as if he had more or less expected this.… Read more

The Man Who Vanished from History
On the continent where the Kingdom of Gilbert is located, there exists a country called “Wa no Kuni” across the eastern sea.
Wa no Kuni is a very small island nation with a unique culture somewhat different from the continent, with a land area less than one-hundredth of the continent’s size.
There once existed over twenty territories and lords, with constant battles for land between warriors called samurai.
A period later known as the “Warring States Era” saw the largest-scale territorial disputes in history, lasting a full century in Wa no Kuni.… Read more

“‘400 years…!? You, indeed…!!'”
The phrase “400 years”, which precisely represents the time from when Siegfried sealed him until now, turned the doubt in the Black Dragon of Extinction’s mind into certainty. … However.
“‘No, that’s impossible…!! It’s been 400 years after all!! He should have long since died of old age!! There’s no way he could be here!!'”
The Black Annihilation Dragon strongly denied the possibility he had arrived at.
Yes, it was because his suspicion had turned into certainty that this reality was too unbelievable for the Black Annihilation Dragon.… Read more

In this situation, the most Shion can do is probably buy some time.
Perhaps with his non-combat oriented, almost magic trick-like hand of cards, he might not even be able to buy time against the Black Annihilation Dragon Schwarzwaldius.
He might be killed unceremoniously along with Alphonse right away.
–However.
“(As long as I don’t give up this moment, hope will surely connect to the future. –Then I’ll just do the best I can.)”… Read more

The stairs connecting the second floor of the cafeteria to the first floor.
What Shion saw as he hid behind the handrail of those stairs was a sight he had never expected.
He had thought that many excellent magic students, or adventurers, guards, and knights who had rushed to the scene after the commotion, would be engaged in fierce combat with the Black Annihilation Dragon of the End, Schwarzwaldius on the lower floor.
However, now, right before Shion’s eyes, the one engaged in an intense battle with the black dragon was just a single male student… Alphonse Fried.… Read more

Chapter 11: C-level Magic Student, Joins the Battle
After the third period, Shion headed to the school cafeteria to have lunch.
Since the cafeteria’s peak crowd was during the lunch break after the second period, there were plenty of seats available after the third period.
After receiving his ordered meal at the counter on the first floor, he made his way to his usual spot on the second floor.
When Shion reached the second floor, there were far fewer students than on the first floor, only about a dozen or so.… Read more
