Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Cowardly Dragon, Nidhogg
The basement of the Axel Workshop was the place that Arata and Saitou had gone to. Saitou was astonished by the natural beauty and various types of magical creatures that he rarely saw, coupled with the presence of a Minotaurus and ki two dragons that were very pressing.
"Where exactly is this, Arata?" asked Saitou, who was twirling around in order to see the whole corner of nature. "How do you know a place like this?"
"As I said, Mr. Saitou, keep this a secret from the others. Moreover, the Dragons are here...."
Not long after, Elbrecht and Myra came flying. It was rare for Myra to show her wings in the form of a Human. "So this is the disgusting human figure?" ask Myra. "Just look at how much I know the Dragons hate Carlou."
Upon their arrival, Saitou immediately fell to his knees. "It is an honor for me to have eyes on you, O Ancient Dragon!"
Elbrecht and Myra glanced at Saitou. "You..," Myra murmured then frowned. "What the fuck are you? Why does Nidhogg feel from your body?"
Arata was somewhat surprised by Myra's question. She had no idea about what she had just said, she was also stunned by Myra who immediately knew the identity of her teacher.
"The Cowardly Dragon Emperor was later, Myra. More importantly, Arata, I prepared everything. I remind you, even though this place is spacious, the food you have is limited. Sometimes we have to go up to the ground.
"I did this only because of my selfishness and had nothing to do with the ruler of the kingdom."
"Thank you for helping me out, Elbrecht. If it's without you, I'm sure my hands are broken...."
"stop. The dragons that are inside you that help everything. I'm just turning up so you can connect with them.
"By the way, Cowardly Dragon...."
Saitou. "Yes?"
"Let me, brother," Myra said.
'KA-POOW!!'
Myra kicked Lehera Saitou very hard. No one had ever seen what Myra's strength was like before. The kick produces a loud bang and is able to drop some ripe fruits such as coconuts around the river.
Saitou crashed to the right—arah his kick—so stuck in the cliff.
"W-what's that...?!" Arata was surprised.
"YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT! SHOW ME WHAT YOU ARE NOW!" myra's screams immediately made the surrounding residents splash.
"Yah~" Saitou's voice rang out from behind the smoke of her former being stuck. "Myra never changed either, huh. Always hated the fun I did."
"Please say...?!
"You want to destroy this land with your mana. Where that disgusting darkness has taken so many lives, is not limited to Humans alone! I won't let you dirty the land of my pride and Aurora's descendants!"
"Myra. Just get there." Elbrecht held Myra's shoulder to calm her down. "Nidhogg. Tell us right now. Are you an opponent or a friend?"
"Not both." Saitou—or the so-called Nidhogg— comes out from inside the cliff. "However, for the time being I have a one-way goal with you. I want to defeat that arrogant Jormundgand!"
"Why did you fool Arata?"
"Craud?" Saitou walked over to them. "It's never been like that. You're the one who's wrong for still remembering your old grudges."
"What is all this about?" Arata finally spoke. "What's really going on?"
"Tuh, look, you guys are freaking him out. I swear I'm not an enemy to you, Arata."
"Haaah~
"So swear to me, Nidhogg, that the souls of the Orsted Dragon and the Schrutz Dragon have calmed down in the Valley of Death."
"Yes. You know for yourself that I was your opponent first, ate the rest of their bodies, and brought them to the Land of Death. Flakka has done her job perfectly."
Myra clutched her hand tightly and bluffed her teeth. Meanwhile Arata was shocked to hear his explanation just now. "Eating the rest of his body...?"
"Then be well. I understand we and you personally are not unidirectional, but the rest of you two finish by yourself. I'm not reluctant to kill you for deliberately luring Myra into acting out her emotions, but I'm her brother."
"All right, Brother Loving. Arata, I'll explain everything, I promise, but we have priorities."
"O-oh.. okay...."
As soon as they were preoccupied with their affairs there, Myra and Elbrecht chatted.
"No. You and I were both there, right? He probably hid himself behind a pile of dead bodies at the time. He also ate. No. I don't think Nidhogg's no longer doing that."
"Huh-huh?! Are you kidding me, brother? Dia—"
"I understand, Myra. But I feel like he wants to solve everything with Ragnarok later. Your kick is layered where it belongs to father and mother. We know best how strong they are and he is not hurt at all.
"I think .. she's wearing something called ki by Ashley...."

[Seiryuu Empire.].
By nightfall, though many doubted the crown's son, they realized that what he said was true. The only hope to overcome hunger right now is to be alone. Thus, they struggled to prepare a tent or anything that was owned from the rubble of their residence. There are some items whose condition is still very good and some are not.
The palace courtyard was transformed by the people into a temporary residence. The lighting was minimal due to the situation. One of the many people, of course there is Riruko. Although it helped, his spirit was not felt at all. His face seemed to have seen despair. The people who saw why he could be so, did not want to interfere. Everything was his personal matter and no one wanted to comfort him.
"What have I been doing all this time...?" batin Riruko, reflecting herself. He went away from the crowd to be alone. "Over this ... What am I doing?
"What do I really feel about Acchan...?
"What love? No. gabe. There's no way love. I've hurt her so much. So, what is my purpose in living this long?
"I've been mean to her, said cruel things behind her, and considered her evil to me....
"Indeed .. what did he do to me until I was like this...?"

Riruko arrived at a dirty puddle. He looked at his reflection in the water. "UGH!" he immediately stepped on the reflection of his face, no matter it would dirty his clothes.
Suddenly Riruko feels herself being monitored by someone. But he still doesn't care about it. He threw himself into the puddle.
"You're a really annoying woman huh, Riruko." The voice of the woman is heard. Riruko.
"You must remember, since the death of our mother, I've always threatened to kill you because of everything you said to my sister behind her.
"As a woman, I know. You're trying to attract his attention and make him mad at you. Being angry at you means that he wants you to change and not repeat the mistake.
"However, what you get is precisely his care and self that is getting far from your reach. You slowly even became resentful of him."
"No! I don't hate him at all!"
"NONSENSE!" the clashing of the voice made Riruko squeak. "You think he's the only one watching you from a distance? The incitement to break down the palace was your idea, Riruko.
"You know the world is in danger, but you don't care about any of it. You're the dumbest, most idiot, most heartless man in this country. If Jotunnheim were open, I hope—"
"Enough, Hitomi. Thanks for worrying about me, but it's more important, isn't it?"
"Tsk. You always come at the wrong time, brother. Just get that girl out of your life!"
"I'll consider it."
"Heah.... Oh, that's it, it's up to you!"

"At the end of the day we're alone, yeah, Riruko." Arata crouched down, holding onto both of Riruko's shoulders. However, the girl did not dare to look him in the eyes. He also knew that his face was not broken. He also bit his own lips.
