Chapter 791 – Parade Outside the Village, Village Five (2)

-Village Five Resident’s POV-

A little late from the fifth legion came a group of bearskins led by the living sword god, Gulf-sama!

Those who were watching cheered loudly.

You could see that the atmosphere of the parade had changed.

A band of high elves followed.

Then, several spectators collapsed but were quickly taken to the first aid station.

As expected, after seeing the real deal.

Inferno wolves.

It’s alright.

I’m not scared.

I’m going to watch their gallant figure.

Or so I thought…..

There are a lot of them.

By a lot I really meant a lot.

Yeah, more than you think.

Not ten.

There were at least two hundred.

They were neatly lined up so it was easy to count them.

I’m like, “What the hell is this?”.

No voices rose from around me. Everyone just watches silently as the inferno wolves marched by.

As if to rebuke me, angels and harpies flew through the sky.

And those angels and harpies were armed.

They were flying at a high altitude so I could not see them clearly, but they were equipped with golden weapons.

I thought they were beautiful but the older ones screamed and panicked.

Right, we had that kind of history with the angels.

From all over the place, I can hear, “It’s alright. The angels are on our side” shout but they didn’t seem to be heard by those who had panicked.

They are looking for something to use as weapons.

……

Not panicking but calm?

The people guarding the parade came over and told them to calm down…..

Ah, they were seized.

Looks like they are forcibly taken to the first aid station.

Thanks for your hard work.

And even with all that chaos, the parade continues.

Following the angels and harpies came a group of devils.

……..

………………………………

These guys are not just any devils!

They are ancient devils!

The same ancient devils that were said to have ruled the world!

Why are they here?

Why are there so many of them?

Around me, there was even more confusion compared to when the angels showed up!

I’m confused too.

History says that the devils rose to power because they overthrew the ancient devils but there’s no way that’s true.

The ancient devils simply disappeared of their own accord.

After that, the devils took over.

Everyone knows that.

Why are the ancient devils participating in this parade?

Does it mean that the demon king has subjugated the ancient devils?

Is this an unveiling?

Could it be that the angels too?

Is that why this parade is being held?

Looking closely at the ancient devils, I saw a familiar face leading the group.

Prada-san!

Yeah, it’s Prada-san!

Eh?

Prada-san is an ancient devil?

While I was trying to figure out why the angels and ancient devils were in the parade, a strong vibration forced me to stop thinking.

Dragons.

The gigantic dragon, which could not pass through the main gate of the shrine, flew and landed at the foot of the mountain where the shrine is located.

The impact of its landing was the cause of that strong vibration.

Come to think of it, dragons also participate in the parade.

I didn’t even think of that.

I froze.

I forgot to breathe.

Dragons.

One dragon is terrifying enough and yet there are more than a dozen of them.

Each of them was stronger than the dragons we had seen during the dry run.

Overwhelmingly more powerful.

I don’t know how strong they are but I feel that the dragons at the dry run are children in comparison.

There is such a difference in strength.

And with a glance, you’ll know that they are an opponent you can never win against.

They are not of the same caliber as living creatures.

Am I even allowed to stare at them?

Do I have to kneel?

I think I should but I can’t move.

I can’t even lift a finger.

I never felt so closer to death than this moment.

Living never felt this much.

What’s this?

God?

Ah, so the dragons in front of me are gods?

Tears started to flow from my eyes.

It seems I have been moved by their overwhelming presence.

………

There is a dragon with a lot of heads.

A little scary.

It is bigger than other dragons.

Ah, there is also the dragon who sometimes comes to Village Five.

They waved at us but I couldn’t move due to their godliness.

Who would have thought they would be this friendly?

Ah, mou, what is even happening?

I just watched the dragons march off in silence with tears streaming down my face.

AN: I was torn between splitting it up or putting it together, but I decided to split it up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, one more thing…..

Some people say that this would be the last arc but it’s not.

There will be more to come.

I hope you’ll read it.

Thank you very much.
