Chapter 85: CH 80

Vampire Princess, the Former Hero and the Oldest

Translated by AmaLynne

The city of the Dragon Tribe is located several hundred kilometers from Pandemonium, the capital of the Demon Nation, in the lower part of a valley.

Yomi and I, who had never visited the city and could not transfer, asked Feria, who said she had been there once, to teleport us there.

「…Well then, I’m heading back. Good luck.」

「Oh, you’re not going, Feria-san? Why don’t you come with us to see the sights when you get here?」

「I’m sorry, I have some work to do. Besides, in case Fleuretia-dono catches me…」

Feria-san shudders and prepares to teleport as if in a hurry. What kind of person is she?

◆◇◆◇◆

One of the oldest Demon Army cadres, Fleuretia.

She is a heroic figure in the Demon Army, having served the Demon Army for more than a hundred years since its inception and achieving numerous battle results.

I had heard about her uncanny strength from the Demon Lord.

The Dragon Tribe is a rare race that evolves frequently. When they are born, they are all『low-ranked dragons』, but from there they rise to middle-ranked and then to high-ranked. The condition for race evolution is straightforward:『Become stronger than a certain level』.

However, once the level is raised to the level limiter, the only way to become stronger is through steady training. For this reason, most of them end their lives as mid-level dragon people.

Luz-san is the youngest among the executives and above, after me and Yomi. He is a strong person who has evolved into a high-ranking dragonman despite still being a young man in his twenties. While most dragon people reach the level limiter at mid-level dragon people and give up evolving to higher levels, he is probably in the category of genius.

…But actually, there is more to this story.

The lifespan of the dragonman is about three hundred years. They are a reasonably long-lived species but compared to the vampires, who live a thousand years, and the fairies, who live almost indefinitely, they are an early death breed.

However, there is an exception, and it seems that dragons who have evolved into high-ranked dragons rarely evolve into super-high-ranking races called『Ancient Dragon』to regain their bodies in their prime and have a life span of thousands of years.

「…That ancient dragon is the Fleuretia-sama…right?」

「I heard so. After that, she returned to the top of the Demon Army for a while and became a warrior, but eventually, she retired and became a nurturer of the younger generation…And now, for some reason, she’s working as a maid for Luz-san.」

「…Why?」

「…I don’t know.」

No matter how much I remember back, I can’t find any element of being a Luz-san maid.

If she is the only one and only ancient dragon in the Dragon Tribe, she should be revered as a『True Ancestor』for vampires, in other words, like the Demon Lord, a present human god.

「Well, let’s just go into the city. We’re not staying here.」

「I guess so. They’ll know right away that we’re the Four Demon Generals, so they’ll let us meet the higher-ups as soon as possible.」

◆◇◆◇◆

As expected, someone who recognized our faces at the city checkpoint notified the higher-ups, and we were easily let through to the center of town, the mansion where the Dragon Emperor resided.

「Welcome to the city, Lean-dono and Yomi-dono. I am the Dragon Emperor, Vavel Dragley. My son is in your care.」

「No, it is my pleasure. So, I’m here to talk to you about your son.」

「Ah…I understand. The fact that two of the famous Four Demon Generals are here is what it’s all about, right?」

「Yes. I am sorry, but I will have to pull your son out by force. If Luz-san is out anymore, it will be a loss for the entire Demon Army.」

「…It’s unavoidable, huh? If possible, waited until he came out on his own…」

「We can’t wait that long.」

「Lean, hold him down.」

「…It’s all right. I’ll show you the way. This way.」

With the guidance of the Dragon Emperor Vavel, we arrived at the door where Luz-san was said to be shutting himself in.

Yes, in front of the door.

The door……

「…I don’t know if it’s a door or a gate.」

「I thought so too… Are you sure Luz-san is in here?」

「Yes, I’m sure.」

I thought the door was just a normal door that could be opened with a click… It was a huge thing, nearly 10 meters long.

「Well, let’s smash it open. Yomi, help me.」

「Okay.」

「H-Hey…you’d better not do that…」

At this stage of the game, are you still insisting, you parent idiot?

I glared at him a little and he seemed to understand what I was trying to say.

「N-No, that’s not what I meant… I’m talking about the impossibility of destroying that door.」

He said…Impossible to destroy the door?

「What do you mean?”」

「That door is warded by Fleuretia-sama. If you attack it, it will all bounce back on you.」

What did he say?

I had heard from the Demon Lod that Fleuretia-sama is the world’s strongest warding master as well as being excellent in martial arts.

「Then what to do?」

「There are three ways. One, somehow destroys this door. Two, persuade Fleuretia-sma to release it. Three, we can take two people to defeat Fleuretia-sama and force her to release the warding.」

「The first is impossible. This ward is one of the most powerful that Fleuretia-sama has. Even Sakura-dono should not be able to destroy it.」

「What’s with that defense cheat? …What about the second one?」

「I don’t think Fleuretia-sama, who for some reason dotes on Luz and wants to grant his wishes as much as possible, will be persuaded.」

「Then the third one… I’ll have to defeat Fleuretia-sama somehow…」

「But, no matter how much you are the Four Demon Generals, she’s…」

「Oh dear, what’s wrong with me?」

「Wha…!?」

「Wha…!?」

「Fleuretia-sama!」

I didn’t feel any sign of her at all…!

This person is…The oldest Demon Army cadre,『Boundary General』 Fleuretia.

One of the heroes of the Demon Army, the companion of the Demon Lord.

Her appearance is……about 18 years old, I guess. She looks older than us.

She has very long gray hair that reaches down to her ankles.

She has a white tail like a lizard that grows from her buttocks and two small horns. These are the characteristics of the dragon people.

「It’s nice to meet you two, the Four Demon Generals. I am Fleuretia. I look forward to working with you.」

◆◇◆◇◆

「…It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Fleuretia-sama. We are honored that you know us.」

First of all, greeting.

She’s a senior.

「My my, I like a polite girl. Yomi-chan over there, nice to meet you, too.」

「Ah, y-yes! I-I’m looking forward to working with you!」

「So? Why is the current two top of the Demon Army here? Hey, Vavel…I don’t think so, but you’re not thinking of letting me pull a Luz-chan out of the fire, are you…?」

「Hiy?! …I-_ have no choice! T-T-T-This is the decision of the Demon Lord!」

「I’ve got enough experience that I wouldn’t be punished if I overturned that little kid’s decision by sheer force. But, well, she even sent these two…Luz-chan is so sensitive, she could have waited a little longer. Impatient as ever, Phyllis.」

Calling the Demon Lord a little kid, calling her by name, etc… She really is the oldest, isn’t she?

「…With all due respect, Fleuretia-sama. The humans are already regaining momentum on the battlefield with the disappearance of Luz-san. If you don’t come back soon, it will be a great loss for the Demon Army. Therefore…」

「That being said, if Luz-chan has no intention of coming out, wouldn’t it be the same if you pulled him out? I can see him fumbling around on the battlefield all the time and not conducting himself very well. He’s cute that way, though.」

「Ugh…that’s…」

「I and Lean will take care of the rest after we pull it out. I promise…So, please break the wards!」

「Y-Yomi…!」

Ah…what a reliable angel!

Oh, I see some kind of wings and halo.

「Fufuf… Yes, that’s right. But I’m not going to break the wards. If you insist, you’ll have to defeat me.」

「Uh… I guess that’s what I’ll have to do.」

「Even though you’re the Four Demon Generals, can you beat this Fleuretia, the oldest of the Demon Army? Now…let’s get started!」

Wait, isn’t this happening too fast?

I had a feeling this was going to happen!

「W-Wait, Fleurettea-sama, please calm down! This…」

「Stay out of this, Vavel. You can’t keep up in this battle.」

I saw a very rare thing called the Dragon Emperor, who was glared back at by a maid.

「…I guess we have to do it. Let’s go, Yomi.」

「Right… But Leanne, are you okay?」

「Uh, we’ve got, what, 20 minutes before sunset? I’m sure we can manage.」

And so the battle with the strongest dragonman I had ever met began, even though I didn’t want it to.
