Turning his head slowly like the most avoided character in a nightmare, the Dark Lord looked at Arata for a moment. Arata was made to shudder in horror at it. Without eyes, the blood that had dried up on the cheeks, as well as the widened smile was extremely slow. "It's a shame, yeah!" the Dark Lord.
Then, the Crown Prince crashed with his right hand which flew as his "bonus. He had no idea what had just happened. At the same time, due to the large amount of blood that came out of his arm, Arata immediately lost consciousness.
"Hey...." The Ruler of Darkness sighed, then stretched his neck again so as not to stiffen. "Not here or there, that guy's really dangerous."
A moment later, the black-haired girl who called herself the Dark Lord saw the golden aura of Zeeta which was like a giant pillar. Then, he immediately grinned and jumped up to the Undine before.
......................
Unwittingly by those on land, there are two "Humans" floating in the sky. They are a man and a woman.
"You're sure you didn't intervene, brother...?" ask The Woman.
The man frowned. "Carlou and Gram are just examples of the many Dragons who desire eternal power. They are strong Dragons with the pride to top and never want to accept if there are other races who surpass them.
"Without the help of a descendant of a War Dragon like us, the souls in the Boy would have risen by themselves.
"More importantly, as Tellaura said, Ancient Spirits can indeed be fought against that Zeeta from the Other World. It is not excessive if in his world, his role has been completed.
"My sister Myra, soon my promise to our parents will be fulfilled."
Myra looked at her sister—Elbrecht—while clutching her hand. "Uhm. I'll also take you from behind."
Afterwards, the two went to approach the Undine by flying slowly.

The subconscious.
There are many ways to enter this "nature. Sleep, focus, and other things, including unconsciousness.
If the "world" which is all black, where Arata is in the middle as if sucked deeper into the concentration of the dark "world" can be called as the subconscious, then "world" endless with many colors experienced by Zeeta, can also be called so. And usually, whenever Zeeta is in his subconscious, something important is about to happen. Will Arata experience it too?
.
.
.
.
Arata was unconscious. That alone hasn't changed. But, in this black "world", he seemed to be drowning helplessly—even as if invited into a deeper darkness. "Really ... What is my power for...?"
"That was all my energy— my ultimate attack that I've been practicing for years.
"If all the power of the Dragon in my body is not working on him, then...?"
Arata opened his eyes. Of course, he saw nothing but darkness. But when he blinked....
.
.
.
.
"Please explain it to me, Carlou!"
"Who's that...?"
......................
"explain? What do you mean, Fafnir?"
Arata suddenly saw the sight of two Dragons fighting with their mouths. One side was a Dragon with silver scales, coupled with a moustache and long eyebrows. He looked stout and strong, and cruel with a stare sharper than a knife. This dragon is Carlou.
The dragon on the other hand is a dark red dominant dragon, with hard scales standing (not skin) extending from the nape to the neck. The scales are black. It also has a tail that resembles a hammerhead, as well as a red burning mark on its belly. It was Fafnir.
"What should I explain to you?" carlou asked again, "it's obvious in my words that you should be part of Zero's Son, Arata."
"Don't mess with me!" Fafnir. "Have you forgotten what my life is for?!"
"Turn out your greed for useless wealth to be the foundation of my trust in you."
Hearing him, made Fafnir gasp. Soon the sharp teeth of the upper and lower jaws rub against each other.
"Reverse your question, have you forgotten why I've lived all this time?
"Return my brother, Gram, and destroy all the descendants of that bastard Moon! If they continue to be present in the world we dream of, it's only a matter of time before they come back against us again!"
"You want to sacrifice me for your greed and your pride?
"I've helped you overthrow Orsted, destroy Schrutz's weapons, you want to do the same to your comrades who helped you at that time...?"
The red mark on his stomach glowed.
"No need to remind you, I am stronger than you and can kill you at any time, Fafnir. Just obey my will and you'll calm down."
"To sit in the dwelling place of Man, to be deified, and to stand beside them, seems to have rotted you to the deepest part...."
"What did you say ...?"
Just then, the sky instantly roared ferociously. The fight between the two happened after that.
......................
Arata returns to his black "world. Now, however, he was shocked to see the many shining spies. There was a Dragon staring at him from a very close distance.
"The key is to believe in your power and ours, Man!" such were the words of the Dragon who was nearby. Arata heard Fafnir's voice from him.
"Credible...? But, this power was useless in the presence of the girl! What do I have to do!?"
"That answer you know, but you're pretending to be stupid! Don't underestimate us!
"You think the fragile body of a Human can withstand the sheer amount of Dragon power?! I am the Dragon of Curse, Fafnir!
"Although Carlou is dead by the hands of the Moon's descendants, but my grudge .. Our grudge is not over!
"Don't let Carlou's wish be achieved, Man!!!"
......................
Crushed.
The Seiryuu Empire has been destroyed. It is not an exaggeration to say so. His destruction was caused by two things; a tsunami from the Undine and the Dark Lord who released his Catastrophe Seal along with the Rune. Hitomi Reiko's wish to save her empire has been dashed.
Who should he blame this on?
The zeeta?
The undine?
Or himself because he keeps getting stuck?
When he was pensive, suddenly the star gave him clairvoyance. He was suddenly in the same dimension when the Dark Lord controlled his body and met Zeeta.
"Star...? What is—"
Unable to finish her sentence, Hitomi was stunned with just a few seconds of silence. Afterwards, he screamed, "Zeeta!"
.
.
.
.
It's back to where it belongs. Not wasting any time, he immediately asked the creature next to him. "Oh Great Ancient Spirit!" calling out.
Undinepun.
"If you still feel anger because the Colossal Turtle named Bon is injured, part of the responsibility is on me! Because after all, the attack that hit him was my strength!"
"What?!
"No, put that aside first, why are you carrying around that thing now?!"
"I know my request is absurd after my actions, but it is urgent!
"Please, Great Ancient Spirit, there's no time!"
Seeing the seriousness and tension of the muscles, as well as the sweat pouring from the girl, Undine nodded. "Say your request!"
"Please tell this to the Wind Ancient Spirit and spread this news to those who have the power of the Moon!
"Don't let....
"Don't let the two Zeetas clash with each other again!"
......................
Zeeta is bluffing her teeth as the Dark Lord comes before her. "I will definitely eliminate you!" his screams were very loud. He also rode again with his scythe.
"Ahahaha with that power of yours, it is impossible to defeat me who can already use twenty-four runes!"
"What?!" everyone there was surprised.
The Ruler of Darkness widens his grin. "Ahh .. how nostalgic....
"Here there are Luna, Danny, Jourgan, Serina, even Gerda who has risen again from the dead!"
Danny was shocked to hear that. "W-what does that mean?! My sister's dead...?"
"Ah.. it turns out so." For a moment, the Darkness Ruler frowned.
"No! Don't listen to him, Kak—"
"That Zeeta you like has let your sister die once again. Oh, ironically, I'm the one who killed him with this hand!
"You know, Dan? In my world, you guys are really persistent to stop me.
"Stop me trying to save the world!
"I'm alone, against the world.
"I'm alone, against my own friends.
"Can you understand my feelings? I don't care who will die from my hands anymore.
"So ....
"Come on...."
The Dark Lord smiled.
"Let's get that anger out of you and try to stop me again, if you can!"
"Sad...!" Danny pulled out his twin knife. But....
'SWISH!'
The Darkness Ruler was made dumbstruck because of Zeeta who suddenly appeared before him with Rune Raidho. He also did not expect with his gaze filled with a keen killing intent.
'BWHAAMM!"
Zeeta throws down her other self with her scythe slash.
"Save your strength for later, Danny! Leave him to me!"
"Zeeta..," murmured Danny, as well as Gerda, who was equally unexpected with Zeeta's current body.
.
.
.
.
"Geez...." From behind the dust, the silhouette of the Dark Lord appeared. Zeeta is on standby again with her scythe.
"Not to cover it up again, O Me!
"You've seen what kind of betrayal they're going to do, right?"
Those words can affect Zeeta. Then, it was immediately welcomed happily by his other self.
"Dam!" luna exclaimed, "don't listen to him! What's going on there, won't necessarily happen here!"
"Haw...." The Ruler of Darkness shook his head. He raised his index finger and his right thumb—formed a gun.
'DOR! DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR'S! DOR!'S!'
Magic was fired from his fingers. So fast, Zeeta can't stop him....
One by one, his friends fell like dominoes. Starting from Luna who perched on the left shoulder, to Serina who was at the very back.
Zeeta glaring. His eyes were soaked, blood was pouring.
"Thank you, the flies I've finished off! Just focus on me, Zee..ta!"
'WOOUMMM!!'
Like a nuclear bomb to cause the smoke of a ringed tree, where Zeeta destroyed everything. The smoke is the color of his mana exploding—black purplish.
Ruler of Darkness, take refuge with his Thurisaz Rune. Behind that protection, he laughed out loud.
"Haha! Indeed, it is fitting that you fall like me and destroy everything, Zeeta Aurora!"
