“Are you awake?”
Belnoir frowned.
It was late at night. Belnoa, who was sleeping lightly in the barracks, slowly woke up when he heard a voice whispering in his ear.
“Yes, I’m up.”
Belnoa got up, rubbing his eyes, and turned on the lamp. A soft scarlet light illuminated the inside of the barracks. Belle Noah blinked a few times and looked towards where her voice was coming from.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you like this?”
An office table placed in the barracks.
God was sitting on top of it. His usual sloppy appearance is nowhere to be seen. The Shadow Dragon Lord smiled with the same mysterious look as when they first met.
Hair resembling the night sky waved under the table. Every time she shook her legs, the hem of her dress, which looked like it was cut out of the night sky, fluttered, revealing her pure white skin.
“Hmm, the air is not good after all. The air is not as cool and clear as it used to be. “It’s cloudy.”
Moreover, the voice is also different from usual.
The voice that resonated through the air had substance. Bel Noah counted the days in his mind as he looked at the goddess who existed in this place with her true form.
“Oh, was it today?”
“okay.”
She whispered with an alluring smile.
“The day when the shadow casts the longest is the day when my power as the Lord of the Shadow Dragons becomes strongest.”
A majestic appearance.
As she shrugged her shoulders as if it was okay to praise her, Belnoir wordlessly searched a corner of the barracks and brought out dessert.
“Would you like to eat it?”
“My contractor knows something.”
This is the moment when she stretches out her arms in satisfaction and tries to pick up the dessert containing Belnoir. With a whoosh, Belle Noah lifted her arms up. As a result, the eyes of the goddess who caught her in the air narrowed.
“···What are you doing?”
“If you want to eat, please come down from the table and eat. “Don’t sit there with your papers spread out.”
“Are you giving me an order now?”
“yes.”
“···Hey, this is it.”
The goddess pressed her forehead.
Looking at the way he moaned, “Umm,” it seemed like he was deeply concerned about what was important between the dessert in front of him and his own authority.
The worries didn’t last long.
She got down from the table and sat down in a chair, extending her hand to Belnoa again and saying.
“That’s enough now, right? “Come on.”
“Yes, good job.”
It’s like having a pet.
Belnoa suddenly had this thought.
2.
Once a year, the day when the shadows are the longest.
By having a contract, the Shadow Dragon Lord can have a tangible presence, even if it is only once a year. It is impossible to exercise power or cause miracles, but the goddess placed significance on materializing it.
A brief period of time between sunset and sunrise.
That short time that only happens once a year.
Only during that time was the Shadow Dragon Lord able to materialize and move without anyone’s help.
“Let’s go out first.”
When that day came, the goddess would ask her contractor for a favor, but it was too simple a wish for the great god of the beginning.
Take a walk and enjoy the story.
That was all the goddess asked of her contractor once a year. The request did not change today either. Late at night, Bel Noah walked through the fields near the battlefield with the goddess she served.
“Breathe. Stand with both feet on the ground. Step on the ground with your bare feet and feel its texture. “For you, it’s a simple thing you can do if you put your mind to it…”
She smiled as she touched the ground with her bare feet.
“It’s difficult for me.”
As if even the little things are enjoyable.
“In the past, I could do it so naturally that I didn’t even consider it special… but now, it’s so special to me.”
Say, Sabak.
The sound of dry grass being stepped on lingered in the air.
“Don’t you like the sound of grass being stepped on?”
“Is that so?”
“okay. The sound of grass being stepped on. The feeling of bare skin touching the ground. All these textures have become unfamiliar to me. Something unfamiliar and fresh. “When you live for so long, you become obsessed with these things.”
She spun around under the moonlit night.
The hem of my clothes flapped in the wind. Through her flowing hair, the goddess looked at Belle Noah walking behind her. Her own and her third contractor.
“Oh my.”
“yes.”
“I would like to give you some advice.”
The starlight pouring from the sky and the soft moonlight illuminated her. Her eyes closed and opened as she ran her hands through her shaking hair. The usual jet black eyes slowly turned red.
Long eye.
The apple of God’s eye, which created the first living being and the most perfect being. The dragon’s red eyes stared straight at Belnoa.
“My eyes see many things. “Now that we have lost most of our power and divinity, we cannot see through all things as we did in the old days… but once a year, when a part of our power returns, we can see something.”
She tapped the corner of my eye.
“flow. Branches of possibility.”
Reading possibilities from numerous flows.
Referring to it, someone says:
“Maybe, a future born under the assumption.”

Foreknowledge of the future.
“I see things like that.”
Most of the star’s current powers originated from those possessed by the Shadow Dragon Lord. What the stars call prophecy was also part of it.
God’s dragon eyes.
Her eyes, which see through all things, read the flow and predict the future from that flow. It is a future that ‘maybe’ happens. An uncertain future.
“Of course, I have lost most of my power, and even if some of my power has returned… it is so weak that I can only perceive the flow and not read it. So I couldn’t be of much help to you.”
That’s why the goddess thought it would be like that today as well.
But, she continued.
“However, today was a little different.”
“What if it’s different…?”
“Because my power returned, even if only for a moment, I tried to predict the future, and I could see a clear future. “It will be a future that should only be seen as a blur…”
A faint power cannot predict the future.
It had to be that way.
However, something was different this time. Among the blurry things, something clear came into view.
“What I saw this time was clear. “As if it was a future that would definitely happen, not just ‘maybe.’”
A sure future.
The goddess saw a future that would ‘definitely’ happen if there was no intervention. A future that can be seen even with infinitely faint powers.
“In that future I saw.”
“···What?”
“To see my contractor face death.”
Belnoir flinched and trembled.
“You met your death gruesomely. To protect the child you care about. “To bide time for someone who will arrive on that battlefield soon.”
“···Me?”
“okay. But reinforcements never came until the end. In the end, you endure alone and die. “So terribly.”
Belnoa’s expression hardened.
The goddess said that it was a future that would definitely happen. Belle Noah frowned and slowly opened her mouth.
“Does that mean that’s what the future holds for me?”
“No, it’s the future that should have happened.”
A future that should have happened.
Belnoa did not immediately understand the meaning of those words. The goddess explained before Belnoa could understand.
“What I saw was closer to the past than the future. It’s difficult to explain in words, but the future and the past were mixed together. “It is the future in the present, but if you look at it from the future…”
“Well, after hearing the explanation, I can’t understand it any more.”
“It’s worth it. “Even I am confused.”
The goddess let out a short breath while laughing.
“To put it more simply, what I saw… is the future that should have happened to you originally. However, it is a future that has become ‘something that never happened’ due to some intervention.”
Something unknown intervened.
A foreign entity was deeply involved in the flow and distorted the flow heading towards the future.
“I didn’t know what was going to happen.”
The flow was mixed.
No one can foresee the future. The goddess felt like she was finally realizing why for the past three years whenever she looked into the future it seemed blurry.
“So does that mean that future won’t happen?”
Belnoir tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand what was being said. To him who lived with human common sense, the ideas of those who had reached the realm of transcendence seemed distant.
“It won’t happen, though.”
said the goddess.
“I want to give you some advice because there is something I saw and learned in that future.”
“Yes, please speak.”
The goddess took a step closer to Belnoa.
She stretched out her slender finger and poked Belnoa’s chest.
“If you truly want to protect that child, if you cherish that child.”
The red dragon’s eyes glared at Belnoa.
“Live long. “By the child’s side.”
“···yes?”
“It means don’t sacrifice your life for that child. If you leave that child’s side, that child will be broken. So simply.”
···Is it broken?
Belnoir blinked. The goddess did not tell us anything more about herself. She just turned her body around and started walking in front of her again.
Sabak.
While the sound of grass being stepped on echoes.
The Shadow Dragon Lord silently recalled the future he had seen. A future that should have happened originally. That future was a process in which a world was headed toward destruction.
Although I couldn’t watch them all.
The goddess saw in the flow.
The death of his contractor, and the disaster that death gave birth to. The end of that disaster. The contractor’s sacrifice ultimately meant nothing.
and.
A being who stood at the end of a destroyed world.
The goddess’ shoulders trembled slightly as she recalled the appearance of that strange being. The being that intervened in the flow was empty. It was empty and horribly foreign. The goddess saw the being burst into laughter over the ancient dragon’s corpse.
‘···I guess he saw that liar too.’
The goddess let out a long sigh.
The goddess clicked her tongue, thinking that the liar who had been watching might finally make a move.
3.
Rania, who had burned down the demon lord’s army that was coming several times, let out a short breath and walked away. Rania, who was about to return to her barracks, stopped in place with a thump.
“······.”
I could feel the excitement inside the barracks.
A huge presence was felt beyond the tent. The other person must have sensed that Rania had stopped walking, as a voice was heard from inside the barracks.
“What is it? “He’s not coming in.”
A voice I’ve heard before.
Rania’s expression immediately soured. Rania let out a long sigh and walked away from her tent.
“It’s been a while.”
There was a man sitting inside the barracks.
A young wizard with blue hair. However, the eyes looking at Rania were shining golden. The slitted pupils are closer to those of a reptile than those of a human.
A wizard with dragon eyes.
A magician from the beginning who has lived for tens of thousands of years and a being called a god among magicians. Rania opened her mouth and called the being’s name.
“A senile lizard.”
“Yes, I am the ancient dragon… What?”
“They said it was a senile lizard.”
The ancient dragon wizard, Jormun van Dragonic.
He muttered, wiping away his eyes.
“…Are you calling me that too? Cardi, it looks like that guy just revealed something really bad. “It’s a misunderstanding.”
“What a misunderstanding. To a child tens of thousands of years older than me, to a child who is not even an adult by world standards…”
“So, that’s a misunderstanding.”
“That doesn’t sound convincing.”
Rania sighed and took off her robe.
She waved the robe, which was covered in dust and ash, towards the ancient dragon wizard and turned it several times before hanging it on a hanger.
“Cock, kek!”
“So why did you come? “To this far away.”
“Why are you coming? “I came to see you.”
Jormun said in a whisper with a sly smile.
“Beautiful le…”
Kwarung!
A flash of light fell without warning and penetrated the chair where Jormun was sitting from top to bottom. Jormun looked at the place where the flash of light fell with trembling eyes. A flash of light was stuck between the crotch. If only the location had shifted a little…
“Heo-eok…”
Cold sweat ran down Jormun’s spine.
“I’ll ask again. “What is your business?”
Rania’s blue eyes glared at Jormun.
If that old lizard, who is known for having a heavy butt, came to the battlefield, there must be a good reason.
“I can’t even joke, this is it.”
The ancient dragon shrugged and clenched his chin.
“Business, business…”
If I say this, will you understand?
Jorumun muttered and opened his mouth.
“Goddess of Ash.”
Raniel van Dragonic.
“It is to talk about a future that has been changed due to the intervention of a sinner who broke a taboo. “Aren’t you responsible too?”
The ancient dragon’s eyes became cold.
It was a gaze that once chilled Rania. Rania slightly lowered her head in front of the intimidating gaze. When her head, which had been down like that, turned upward again.
As for Rania.
Raniel van Trias burst out laughing.
“You’re being damned, you old lizard bastard.”
Raniel, who came back after a long time with a loud talk, clenched his fists.
