[ Sun Flower ]: Oh my God… double kill? Two Monster Kings in a row?

[ Deadly Nightshade ]: This can’t be possible!?!

[ Blood Orchid ]: This is History!!

… …

The Chatroom exploded. Even those who are lurking and those who had just opened their Communicator joined the fray.

[ Black Panthera ]: What about Allen? What happened to him?

But no matter what [ Black Panthera ] and the others call out to her, [ Rose ] didn’t respond anymore.

As for the person herself, she was hurrying to the Kings’ Court. Allen killed two Monster Kings in the row and that wouldn’t make the other Kings pleased.

Although in Azi Dahaka’s death, judging by Allen’s appearance in the resonance, Bataliel’s curse had obviously played the role but that wasn’t enough for the other Kings.

Azi Dahaka both came from different parties and Allen by killing them, had stated his stance of refusing of cooperating either party. It means another 3rd force had appeared.

And with what she had done to the Orc Lord, it means this possibility became even higher!

She had become Allen’s party member – though she didn’t care about it since it’s the truth, however, she can’t let the two parties joined hands and purge Allen!

That can’t be allowed!! Never!!

With firm determination, Alkrasha headed to her own battlefield! As for what happened to Allen, Alkrasha set it aside for now, in any case, whatever happened, even if he became evil, she would follow him even to Hell!

Since she had confirmed his safety through the resonance, she finally heaved a sigh.

But she needed to go faster… those idiots had certainly begun their meeting!

--- ---

“Ugh…” Allen woke up while groaning. His body felt like a block of lead. “Ugh, what happened to me?”

He turned his gaze in his surroundings and he was shocked.

There was a mass grave with hundreds of corpses of monsters everywhere. It was a lifeless land.

A group of crows and vultures picked the flesh from the corpses.

“What happened here? No, wait, wasn’t I…” Allen smiled wryly, looking at his hands; the original pale white hands had turned into ashy gray.

He suddenly felt a pounding headache, followed by numerous memories flashing into his head.

He finally remembered something.

He was fighting… that’s right, he was fighting.

Immediately, Allen’s ashy gray colored face froze.

An intense domineering presence entered his deep and mysterious crimson eyes. Aloof solemnity surfaced on that handsome face that was like the cool breeze blowing across Great Plains of pastures. Then his lips shaped themselves into a smile.

But it wasn’t his usual smile but a savage, no, it should be said to be an enigmatic smile.

“Ha, that was satisfying… to the point that I wanted for more…”

Allen felt the power surging through his mind and body. Recalling about the intense fight he had just before, he unconsciously entered a battle-ready state.

“Sadly,” he murmured… A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the mangled body of the once great three-headed dragon but now, two of the heads were missing. One arm and his lower body were completely severed and there’s a huge hole in his chest.

Then a memory played in his mind… The last memory of the great Azi Dahaka.

The three-headed dragon lay on the ground, smiling at the crazy and maniacal Monster King who had brought his death – Allen Bando. The Monster King of Envy had taken the form of the great Sea Devil; Leviathan. His crimson eyes flashing in madness.

Courageously, he said:

"Ha, hahaha. Truly a wonderful battle. I cannot thank you enough, my little brother. Though I wanted it if you are sane right now, I guess that would be that damn fallen angel’s fault…” He spoke. His once three heads, now, only the right was left.

Usually, he might be able to regenerate his heads, still, for some reason, his Regeneration ability had disappeared. Even his [ Blood of Evil ] had seemed to have vanished.

Obviously, he had noticed, nonetheless, it was too late.

He was now lying in a pool made of his own blood, a huge hole in his chest and his entire lower body was completely missing.

Still, he didn’t detest him. The new Monster King had done his own to survive…

- Though, whether he will return his sanity after this is still questionable.

Once a creature Fall, it would already be nigh impossible for them to regain their original nature.

And that made the three-headed dragon felt regrettable.

“Well, even though it would be nice to fight you in your original persona, it looks like such a wish cannot be realized. This must be fate."

The three-headed dragon narrowed his ruby eyes and smiled as if he was fooled and nodded.

“...It's my loss. I never thought... that this would happen… no, I think I have already felt this in the beginning. When I heard you arrived in this land, I already speculated that my path had converged with yours…”

“Still, my brother I take back my words from before, you’re not a Hero… you’re more than that… You’re really a Taboo Existence… an existence that shouldn’t exist… The Gods will cry…”

The three-headed dragon’s expression was between tears and laughter. It was hard to believe that such smooth and bright smile was coming from a monster.

Certainly. You could only think about it.

“Goodbye, little brother… if you managed to retain your sanity, then surely you can change this world… Goodbye…”

These were Azi Dahaka’s final words.

In the next instant, his ruby eye lost its luster.

Thus vanished a [ Monster King ] who was portrayed as evil in many legends. As to whether he was really evil or not, Allen felt he was more than that…

If he had truly intended to kill me… then it would probably have been quite a different fight…

A Monster King of Demise? An evil existence? Heh, for me he seemed to be one of the most gallant warriors in this crude world.

Such a formidable foe, but he will never be encountered again.

He was just looking for a fight… an intense battle that would burn his blood to ashes… Indeed, he was a man that is true to his desires… like a rising dragon!

Thinking that Allen could feel a sense akin to loneliness overflowing in his chest.

“If you reincarnated again, brother, I hope you will become a woman so that I can pull you in my embrace…” Allen smiled wryly as he slowly stood up.

He then surveyed the entire battlefield. He saw all of the corpses were everywhere around him, oozing a rotten stench. The stench disgusted Allen.

Then he noticed, he was naked!

He was completely naked without a single cloth. It must have been torn apart when he had transformed. Seriously, he should find some clothes that wouldn’t tear even when he transformed or else, a day will come when he would be bare-naked in front of many people!

Allen frowned.

At this moment, something made their way towards him. Turning his head, Allen saw several of his Ghouls including the Ghoul King and some Undead. It seems like they managed to survive.

3 Elemental Ghouls, Undead and the Ghoul King slowly crawled towards him. They seem to be scared of him as their actions became slower as they got neared.

Smirking, Allen called out and ordered them to find his things. After a short moment of time, they came bringing them his Storage Bag, the Glove Alkrasha gave him and the pair of Gauntlets Azi Dahaka gifted him. it seems like his glove and gauntlets were fine and unscathed from his transformation – weird~

Allen immediately pulled out new clothes from the Storage Bag and wore it. Black with red leaves motif parka, black V-neck shirt, black pants, a pair of black socks and shoes. All black colored clothes as usual as this were his favorite color.

He then summoned his Summoning Grimoire and deactivated the Undead turning them back to the dead and recalled the Ghouls included the Ghoul King and the Undead Vulture as he started walking.

Allen passed by many corpses until he reached Azi Dahaka’s body. He checked every part but he didn’t see anything of worth and felt disappointed.

H summoned a Blue Flame and throws it at the three-headed dragon, incinerating it.

“This is the only thing I can do. May your soul find peace,” Allen softly muttered as the body burned to ashes and got blown by the passing breeze.

He then went towards Bataliel’s body. There he found a storage bag and it had things inside.

8 Silver Crystals, 18 Elemental Stones ( 7 Holy Stones, 5 Darkness stones , 4 Water Stones, 2 Fire Stones ), A silver bow adorned with feathers, a stone tablet, a piece of cloth that looked like a veil and had a human face drawn on it, and lastly, a fist-sized wooden figurine of a ship.

This guy actually has 8 silver crystals…
