Hundreds of spells, enough to make one think there were at least that many, flew toward the Black Dragon.
At the same time, black and golden light burst from the two [Excalibur]s, and the thick scales began to split apart.
The Black Dragon, having lost both eyes, resisted desperately, but—
"Hit it while there's an opening!!!"
"Looks like that bastard's trying to run!?"
"Chains! Drive a stake into its eye or something!!!"
The adventurers relentlessly attacked the Black Dragon.
Those once-hard scales were now falling away one by one, exposing raw flesh, and—
"■■■■■■!!!"
"The attacks are working!!!"
"Tonight's Black Dragon meat!!!"
"Yeehaw!!!"
Once they realized their attacks were landing, the adventurers were filled with the hope that they could win, threw reason aside, turned savage, and poured on the assault.
The Black Dragon,
"Uhhihihihih!!!"
"Scales! Bones! Magic stone!"
"You picked the wrong day!"
began to feel fear as it looked at the adventurers, who were even starting to drool.
As the scales were torn away, red flesh came into view.
The Black Dragon, with adamantite stakes driven into its eyes, began to let out pained screams.
"■■■■■■!!!"
It opened its mouth at once to burn everything to ash, but—
"Close your mouth."
The moment it opened its mouth even a little, the magic sword exploded inside it.
Unable to escape with stakes driven into its eyes and beaten down, the Black Dragon—
"Let's go."
"Yeah."
was finally killed when the two [Excalibur]s pierced its heart and magic stone.
With the Black Dragon's death, peace returned to Orario once more.
Freya Familia was heavily punished for charming all of Orario, and was forced into an alliance with Hestia Familia.
The alliance was formed because Freya had said that if she couldn't have him, then at least let her watch from the side, but...
let's skip the details.
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
Today was the day Aria would be summoned from the Spirit World to the Lower World.
Originally, it was supposed to be done quietly, but—
"Is it far off?"
"Wait a little longer."
"Aiz's mother..."
somehow, it ended up being done at Twilight Manor.
[It's ready. Step back a little.]
As the dry firewood burned down in a circle, a fresh breeze blew in, and—
"...Aiz!"
"Mom!"
a touching mother-daughter reunion began.
"Thank you so much, son-in-law."
"...Huh?"
"Oh my, was that too soon?"
"...Not yet."
"Not yet... does that mean I should wait a little longer?"
"Huh?"
"...Grrk!"
"Loki collapsed!?"
"You're not even human!"
"Well, she's half spirit, so she isn't human, but..."
