Dragon Tales: Reincarnation

To The Demon Lord's Castle.

"It's been 3 hours since they set out... Will they be okay?" Caryl asks me.

They set out from the mansion's garden about 2.5 hours ago. Great Velkra told me that the Demon Army would be marching from the eastern part of the empire and her intuition turned out to be correct.

"Oh, they'll be fine. It's not like Carmine and Felia are kids anymore. They have great Velkra with them." I say.

"But I think Great Velkra might need some care too. I'm worried about her... It's like she is my kid... But I can't say that because she is our Master now..." She says.

Apparently, Great Velkra set out late at night and put up a barrier around the eastern vicinity. That was a clever move to trap the mouse when it comes out of his hole. She got a hit on her barrier when the gate opened and sensed a surge of mana that led to the confirmation that the Demon Army was invading and from the east indeed.

"I get your feelings. She was only 19 when she died in her world. This world might be a bit new to her and there might be many chances that she could get hurt. But she won't. She fought a demon and he couldn't put a scratch on her remember?" I say.

Dying is a state of life that no one can escape. Anyone could die at any point. but this does not apply to spiritual beings and divine ones. One could also work hard to achieve the level but most humans burn out their life spans in the pursuit so there haven't been many divinities among humans. Only dragons. But this does not apply to her world. She was involved in an accident with a moving vehicle and died from that. I'm sure it would have been painful, but this world gives her new possibilities as she is an Elder Dragon now and she gives me some wild premonitions that she could lead this world to prosperity. Why do I believe that? Well, we'll see when we live our lives in the future.

"But even so... I can't help but get worried..."

"Then what you are doing is not believing in her. I believe that she will resolve that matter and come back fine along with Carmine and Felia." I say.

Worrying about someone and loving them in such a short time... This is my wife alright. She can worry about everything and everyone without showing the signs so it's good that she Is telling me this.

"I see... Then I will apologize to Great Velkra for my rudeness to not believing in her completely..." She says.

"You won't be needing to do that. You must love her to find yourself worried. And you know yourself that Great Velkra does not require apology over every trivial matter." I tell her.

"I just hope they get back soon..."

When we went through the world gate, we were dumbstruck by the scenery in the next blink.

A world of red and black. Was this world always like this? This destructed? This is definitely not normal. The air I saturated with too much mana to the point that I can see visible mana particles floating around.

This is bad, Right Twixie?

[Definitely. Excess of mana can really distort things.]

Only distort them? This doesn't seem distorted but it looks as if this world is ending...

[It is. The excess of mana is breaking this world apart. Remember the mana storm that created a tornado? Then this is on a global scale. This world will be soon destroyed.]

Could it be...?

[Most possibly.]

Right.

I'll calmly deal with this.
