In the reception room of the Havelock Forward Base, which served as a command tower receiving reports from all outposts at the Dragon’s Boundary, the four of us sat in our respective seats.

“Khukhukhu, you introduced yourself as a student there.”

Hatsim Velok laughed heartily, patting his plump belly. His laughter poked at my ears annoyingly, but I didn’t bother saying anything.

I didn’t want to get tangled up here and have this topic keep coming up.

“Are you really just a student?”

Jaguia Blackplin, on the other hand, stroked his chin and observed me furtively. He seemed to be trying not to show it, but I could see right through him.

“But it’s fortunate that the dragonkin accepted it well.”

“They had to. After hearing our names. By the way, let’s be honest with each other.”

Hatsim gestured and whispered softly.

“Let’s overlook the kid since he’s a student. But are you really the captain of the Beast King’s direct subordinate unit and the Guardian of Yggdrasil?”

“You’re asking unnecessary questions.”

“Haha, does it seem like a lie to you?”

Jaguia snorted and ignored him, while Eris smiled awkwardly and asked back.

“No, I shouldn’t be the one to say this as a Master, but aren’t you people who are difficult to gather in one place? Especially the Guardian of Yggdrasil…”

Hatsim, the dwarf, muttered while stroking his beard.

“I’ve really met a big shot among big shots.”

“I won’t deny it.”

Although Eris had a modest personality, right now, she was here not as Eris the elf but as the Guardian of Yggdrasil.

She couldn’t casually lower her dignity.

“By the way, I heard the Guardian of Yggdrasil is also chosen based on appearance, and it seems to be true.”

“Excuse me?”

What is he talking about all of a sudden?

Hatsim laughed heartily and raised his voice.

“This is the first time I’ve found someone beautiful besides a dwarf. Of course, dwarves are the best, though.”

“…”

“You’re too skinny. It’s best to have a plump, fleshy body. Tsk, tsk, a woman shouldn’t be like that.”

Hatsim smacked his lips, and Jaguia glared at him with a disgusted look.

Eris, her face flushed, tried to say something, but I had already intervened.

“Excuse me? What part of Eris is skinny? She obviously has a great figure and a pretty face, so what are you comparing her to?”

“Hmm? The kid is too young to know how to appreciate women.”

“If your eyes are crooked, at least speak straight. How can you compare a dwarf as small as a pebble to an elf known as a forest fairy? If you were a bit shorter, you’d be walking on your arms instead of your legs like monkeys!”

“Y-You little bastard!”

“Pfft.”

“D-Daniel?”

Jaguia watched our fight with amusement, holding back his laughter, but Eris grabbed my shoulder in surprise and told me to stop.

But instead, I pointed at her and shouted even more excitedly.

“Look at this! Radiant golden hair, sapphire-like eyes! A slender waist contrasting with a bountiful chest! How can you compare such a woman to a barrel-like dwarf!”

“You’re looking down on the magnanimity of dwarf women! A woman’s magnificence lies in her spirit and her ability to support a man’s center! Look at Gimo-shin! Fleshiness is a symbol of abundance and virtue!”

“Bullshit! Everyone on the continent knows that dwarves are asexual! And why are you bringing up Gimo-shin while trying to sugarcoat it! Do you know what kind of woman Eris is?”

“D-Daniel!”

Seeing Eris, whose face had turned as red as a beet and was half-sobbing while shaking my shoulder back and forth, I realized my mistake.

I got too excited.

Thinking that, I cleared my throat, and Hatsim, seemingly calmed down from his excitement, sipped the tea in front of him.

In the awkward atmosphere, Jaguia Blackplin smirked and opened his mouth.

“Still, beastmen are the best.”

“Where are you bringing in those damned beasts!”

“Ah, these bastards have really crappy taste in women.”

We debated for a while, and in the end, Eris raised her mana and said she would kill us all if we didn’t stop, so everyone shut their mouths tightly.

While watching Eris glare at us, I carefully changed the subject.

“By the way, who’s coming that’s higher than the High Inquisitor?”

At my words, the gazes gathered again.

The High Inquisitor was not an ordinary high position, but since their side had such an impressive background, I thought someone matching that would come.

“Since it’s the front line, the only person who can come directly would be an Elder, right? I heard that Elders are at least scattered here and there.”

Jaguia also nodded at Hatsim’s words.

However, Eris shook her head.

“Hmm, I heard that the dragonkin are also advanced in magic, so warping shouldn’t be too difficult for them. Maybe a Cardinal will come?”

“A Cardinal, huh.”

Although not as significant as the Guardian, a big shot was still a big shot.

But then, as if on cue, the door opened, and the answer appeared.

A large man wearing priest robes that were different from ordinary ones, comfortable to move in and even equipped with defense, introduced himself as Cardinal Theosender.

As Eris predicted, a Cardinal had come.

But the red-haired girl exuding an extraordinary aura at a glance… If it weren’t for the red horn protruding from her forehead, she could have been mistaken for a human based on her appearance.

“I am Dragoness Zane.”

‘Dragoness?’

In the theocracy of the dragonkin, the will of the dragons was determined through a council. The ones who exercised voting rights there were high-ranking clergy like Cardinals.

Amidst that, there was a being who could exercise the authority of two votes alone – the Dragoness.

For us, it was like the appearance of a saint.

While Daniel McLean was meeting the Dragoness, a chase was in full swing in a village near the city of Elgrid.

‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’

The male spy belonging to the Tudogs was running through alleys, trying to somehow shake off his pursuer, but seeing the expressionless white-haired pursuer jumping over the rooftops of buildings, he felt like his strength was draining away.

‘How? How the hell did they find out?’

He had kept contact to a minimum.

He thought he had been naturally hiding as a florist in this village for five years already, but how did that female student know about him?

As the spy was running through the alleys, he thought he should at least get out of the village first, and the moment he quickly turned his body at the fork in front of him…

“Ugh!”

He fell to the ground as a wrist accurately struck his Adam’s apple.

“Hey, mister. You know what?”

A girl with light brown hair and a candy in her mouth was looking down at the spy with an evil smile.

“You should be careful when walking through alleys like this. Otherwise, kids like us will rob you blind.”

Numerous delinquent students behind the girl surrounded the spy, looking down at him.

“Got him.”

Sen, coming down from the rooftop, spoke into the communicator.

The ones receiving the communication were Tana and Eve in the dormitory of Aios Academy.

The two of them were holding several communicators that would only be used in the royal palace, all of which had been procured by Elise’s maid, Bertia.

“The Haman Village is cleared.”

As Eve’s voice flowed through the communicator, another girl’s voice echoed from the other communicator, as if not to be outdone.

“We’re done here too.”

It was Hayun’s blunt voice.

Since the battle in Bethel, her swordsmanship had shown explosive growth, so she was able to easily handle the remnants of the Tudogs.

“We’re also finished.”

Elise’s eerie voice.

Elise, who had even enhanced her physical abilities by relying on magical tools, was also easily wiping out the remnants, just as Daniel had evaluated her to be above Apviel.

“Then the last one is…”

Rin’s communicator, which was in charge of Hainam, the largest remnant gathering and a city rather than a village, was still silent.

“Rin?”

“Ah, yes… It’s done here too.”

Elise’s voice was eerie.

It felt as if there was some hidden ulterior motive within her dignified demeanor.

Rin, on the other hand, was just terrifying.

Tana couldn’t help but feel a momentary fear at her voice, which contained overwhelming terror.

Rin ended the communication there without adding anything else.

The city of Hainam.

This was one of the core locations of the Tudogs.

It was suitable for selling drugs due to its poor security, and there were many talents who could be entrusted with unspeakable dirty work.

The old woman and the trio who were in charge of the murder hotel in Bethel were individuals brought from here.

“H-How…”

The underground pharmacy run by the Tudogs.

Despite the spacious location and numerous guards, the pharmacist belonging to the Tudogs could only tremble as he looked at his pharmacy, which had turned completely black as if a shadow had been cast over it.

The many guards were no longer protecting him.

The girl, emitting an ominous black energy from her cleavage, had already raised the dead and made her comrades fight each other, eventually turning everyone except the pharmacist into the dead.

“I have a lot of things I want to hear from you.”

She could have turned them into subordinates and scrambled their memories, but since she lacked proficiency, she couldn’t obtain all the information.

In the end, Rin chose a slightly aggressive method, so she smiled slightly in apology.

“It’s going to hurt a lot. But there’s no other way.”

“P-Please spare me! I beg you!”

The pharmacist began to kneel and beg Rin, who was much younger than him, but Rin slowly placed her hand on his head.

“Daniel… was sad.”

Soon, the man’s screams echoed in the pitch-black pharmacy.
