Deep Darkness Dragon Lord

What do I need to do?

"For now, continue to be your princess, assisting your brother in governing this country."

And what about you?

I'm leaving now.

"Aren't you going to eat me first? I'm actually looking forward to it!"

"Yes, of course we should eat."

After saying that, he picked her up by the waist and carried her towards the bedroom...

It must be said that being a genius is a truly excellent profession, in every aspect.

Despite it being Princess Renner's first time, she displayed skills no less than those of a high-class prostitute.

Higashino Makoto felt very satisfied and had a great time.

Indeed, bad women have a unique charm!

Late into the night, Princess Renner, whose level was insufficient, was defeated.

Or rather --

She fainted.

Higashino Makoto also did not choose to stay with her.

Because he remembered there was still one thing he hadn't done—

I haven't given Leinas the job change item yet.

She is at the most beautiful age now, and I need to preserve this beauty forever.

Shinano and Rem had already returned to the inn.

Higashino Makoto used the item he had previously given to Leinas to confirm her location.

Use teleportation magic to go directly to her side.

Higashino Makoto stepped out of the magic circle and landed on the balcony of Leinas's room.

The moonlight shone on him, casting his long shadow on the ground.

Her long, silvery-white hair swayed gently in the night breeze.

Leinas was lying in bed.

Long, light blonde hair fell across the pillow, obscuring the right half of her face.

Her exposed left cheek was as delicate as a porcelain doll's, and her deep blue eyes gleamed with a certain light in the darkness.

She was wearing a thin white nightgown, the strap of which had slipped to one side, revealing a section of her fair shoulder.

"Mr. Higashino Makoto? You... what brings you here?"

"Miss you."

Leinas's face flushed slightly.

What did you say?

"I missed you, so I came."

He took a jet-black seed from his backpack and placed it on the bedside table.

Seed of Corruption.

A dark purple light swirled in the moonlight.

"What's this?"

"Something that can turn you into a demon. It won't die, it won't age, it won't get sick. I'm going to possess your beauty forever..."

Without any hesitation, Higashino Makoto reached out, grabbed her chin, and kissed her.

After a long while, Leinas sat up, her deep blue eyes fixed on the seed.

"What's the price?"

"No cost. You're mine, that's a perk."

Leinas looked at him for a long time.

Then she smiled and held out her hand.

The Seed of Corruption caused Leinas to grow dark purple wings and jet-black nails.

She stood in front of the mirror, her deep blue eyes looking at herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Is it pretty?

"Nice."

How does it compare to before?

"It looks even better than before."

She turned around and threw herself into his arms.

That night, Higashino Makoto did not leave.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the window and fell on the messy bed.

Leinas lay beside him, her long golden hair cascading onto the pillow, obscuring the right half of her face.

Her left cheek was as delicate as a porcelain doll's, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Small, dark purple leather wings unfurled from her shoulder blades, giving her a unique allure.

"Mr. Higashino Makoto, are you leaving?"

"Um."

"When?"

"Now."

Leinas's fingers tightened slightly.

"... When will you come next time?"

"I don't know. It might be soon, it might be a long time. Remember to wait for me."

"I... I will always wait for you."

Higashino Makoto looked at her, his golden eyes devoid of any emotion.

He reached out and gently patted her head.

"Honey, remember to keep your distance from other men, or I'll get jealous."

Leinas's lips curled up slightly.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Although I really wanted to stay longer, Shinano and Rem were still at the Re-Estize Kingdom Inn, and I couldn't just leave them hanging forever.

Higashino Makoto got up, dressed, walked to the window, and opened it.

Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the entire room.

Higashino Makoto stepped into the crevice.

When Higashino Makoto returned to the hotel, Shinano was kneeling by the window.

The nine fox tails gleamed softly in the setting sun, and its purple eyes were half-open, as if it were dozing off, or perhaps waiting for him.

Rem was packing her luggage in the next room; the rustling sounds drifted through the walls, subtle and peaceful.

Just as I was about to go up and flirt with them, the communication crystal lit up.

Blood red, shimmering like a heartbeat.

Emergency communication.

"Higashino."

Jibril's voice emanated from the crystal, clear and ethereal, yet carrying a rare solemnity.

That rainbow-colored long hair was probably fluttering in the wind, and those wing-shaped ears were probably standing straight up.

"Explain."

"I discovered a True Dragon Lords beneath the southern desert of the Central Continent. Based on intelligence and magical detection, it is highly likely to be the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord you mentioned."

"Always Dark."

He repeated it in a low voice.

"Yes. Level 90 or above. It lives underground, and I discovered it by chance. It had been sleeping, but it woke up when I got close. However, it didn't notice me."

Higashino Makoto remained silent for a moment.

The Deep Darkness Dragon Lord.

That cunning hunter who ambushed the player and stole a "twenty" item.

As mentioned in the original work, the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord's "Soulbreaker" is an enhanced version of his Wild Magic.

In other words, he will at least use a degraded version of "Soulbreaker".

As expected, the order to prevent guardians from going out without carrying World Item was correct.

Although he was certain of killing his opponent, he didn't want to risk a disastrous outcome.

Send me the location.

"Yes, sir."

The communication crystal flickered, and a series of coordinate information flooded into Higashino Makoto's consciousness.

In the southern part of the Central Continent, beneath the desert, at a depth of about 300 meters.

"Higashino, do you need my assistance?"

"No need. You keep watch from the outside, don't get close. That guy's abilities are probably troublesome."

"Yes, sir."

The communication has ended.

Shinano walked up behind him, her nine large, fluffy tails swaying, making Higashino Makoto a little itchy.

"My lord, Deep Darkness Dragon Lord very strong?"

"Strong. Level 90 or above, and has the World Item 'Twenty'. He must have ambushed other players; he's a real schemer."

Shinano's fox ears twitched slightly.

Are you confident?

"Of course there are. But we still need to be fully prepared."

He turned around and began stacking buffs on himself.

Layer upon layer of light shone upon him.

"Greater Full Potential"

"Magic Caster's Blessing"

"Angel's Blessing"

"Holy Shield"

"Dragon Power"

"Fortune"

"Hero"

"Free"

"Indomitability"

"Maximize Magic"

"Breath Defense"

Take pictures of everything you can think of.

Purple, gold, silver, and emerald green light flashed alternately, illuminating him as if he were a god.

Shinano watched from the side without saying a word.

He opened his backpack and began picking out World Item.

"Fugin and Wuni"

"Holy Grail"

"Brionac"

"The Bag of Sin"

The core of the "Creator" is also within him, allowing him to expand his domain whenever needed.

Shinano.

"Exist."

"You stay here and wait for me to come back."

Shinano's fingers tightened slightly, and a complex light swirled in his purple eyes.

"Yes, sir."

Higashino Makoto checked the equipment to make sure nothing was missing.

Take a deep breath and gently draw a line in the air with your hand.

A pitch-black spatial rift silently appeared in the center of the room.

Through the other end of the crevice, one could see a hazy sky, endless yellow sand, and the bottomless darkness beneath the desert.

"They're gone."

He stepped into the crevice. The crevice closed silently after he passed through.
