Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

```

"Don't speak any more... I suspect that the one you just summoned isn't the Sword Ancestor at all, but a terrible Great Demon."

```

```

Back at the academy, she had heard... that if it is not a righteous god, it's best not to summon casually, as one might summon something terrible or even forbidden...

```

```

Caroline couldn't believe her luck was so bad that she actually summoned a terrible being.

```

```

"Damn it... Caroline, Aria... more skeleton soldiers are coming... There are four heavily armored skeleton soldiers, armed to the teeth, and behind them is a carriage pulled by a bone beast..."

```

```

They're coming... They're walking towards us, with two Bone Spirit Knights leading the way, they're getting closer and closer, should we..."

```

```

The warrior was about to ask if they should fight when the two Bone Spirit Knights simply walked past him, not deigning to glance in his direction.

```

```

Caroline had just raised her sword when Aria held her down; they watched with wide eyes as the Bone Spirit Knights passed them and knelt on one knee before the statue of the Sword Ancestor to pay their respects.

```

```

The four heavy armored skeleton soldiers also knelt on one knee to pay homage.

```

```

Then the two Bone Spirit Knights rose to their feet, lifted the statue of the Sword Ancestor, and... placed it onto the carriage drawn by the bone beast.

```

```

The two Bone Spirit Knights mounted the bone beasts, and the four heavy armored skeleton soldiers, each holding a great sword, stood guard around the carriage.

```

```

Five skeleton soldiers followed behind the carriage.

```

```

Watching this scene, Caroline panicked. The statue of the Sword Ancestor... How did it end up being taken away by the Undead of Twilight Grand Canyon?

```

```

The carriage pulled by the bone beast started to move.

```

```

"Return my Sword Ancestor... God..."

```

```

"Human, be quiet and follow quietly behind the master's carriage. Keep walking."

```

```

The leading Bone Spirit Knight, mounted on a bone beast, came to the back of the carriage, used their long spear to block Caroline who wanted to chase after the carriage, and spoke with the human girl in front of them using soul speech.

```

```

That lord instructed them to take these four humans away from here.

```

```

They dared not disobey that lord.

```

```

If not for the lord on the carriage, these four humans would be dead by now, their bodies turned into puppets.

```

```

"That is the statue of my family's Sword Ancestor, please return the statue of the Sword Ancestor to me!"

```

```

"What Sword Ancestor? That lord is not the Sword Ancestor. Human, if you continue to speak irreverently of that lord...

```

```

From now on don't speak, just follow. That lord said, after you leave this place, the statue of Sword Ancestor will be returned to you."

```

```

Dropping that sentence, the Bone Spirit Knight riding the bone beast turned back to lead the way for the lord on the carriage.

```

```

Caroline, Aria, the warrior, and the pharmacist said no more and obediently followed behind the carriage, walking towards an unknown destination.

```

```

"Aria... The one I summoned... Is it really the Sword Ancestor?"

```

```

"It's very likely... not. Would your Sword Ancestor... have such a grand entourage? Could he command the Undead creatures of Twilight Grand Canyon to address him as Lord?"

```

```

"Then who did I summon?"

```

```

"It's very likely that it's a fearsome Great Demon... Lord."

```

```

Aria felt it was better to use an honorific after all, since the Great Demon Lord... not only didn't intend to harm them but had also protected them once...

```

```

Caroline felt troubled, wouldn't the statue of the Sword Ancestor be desecrated?

```

```

Seated inside the carriage, Lance heard Caroline and Aria's conversation and nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he desired.

```

```

Summoning the Sword Ancestor... summoned a Great Demon.

```

```

He did not believe these four young ones dared to propagate the tale of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor's manifestation once they returned to the Human World.

```

```

As for these Undead creatures inside the Twilight Grand Canyon... existence is reasonable. As long as they're not in the hell's bounty quest list, he couldn't be bothered to send them all to hell.

```

```

Mainly because these guys were rather sensible.

```

```

If they weren't sensible, then he wouldn't mind using the Grim Reaper's Scythe to send them all to hell.

```

```

A wonderful experience; when they get back, they have to think about the power of faith.

```

```

He hoped that the swordsmen of the Human World hadn't built a temple for him.

```

```

If there really is an Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor Temple in the Human World, what would the name of that temple be?

```

```

Evil Dragon Temple?

```

```

Sword Ancestor Temple?

```

```

They don't seem to sound nice.

```

```

Sigh...

```

```

Being deified for no reason...

```

```

Who can understand the woes of this Black Dragon...

```

```

And this statue, who carved it?

```

```

The pinky is thicker than the thumb...

```

```

I really want to split...

```

```

He could return at any time now, just follow the golden thread back to his body.

```

```

God manifestation... is it the entire divine soul descending into the statue?

```

```

If it were so, the statue would probably crack on the spot. It must be a strand of divine soul consciousness that descended into the statue...

```

```

This too he must study a bit when he gets back.

```

```

"Lord, we're out."

```

```

"Mm, you may return."

```

```

"Understood."

```

```

The two Bone Spirit Knights led the skeleton soldiers back the way they came.

```

```

Lance glanced at the environment before him, a plain, still in daylight.

```

```

Time to go back to sleep. As for the four little ones... those who survive a catastrophe are bound to have good fortunes to follow...

```

```

Evil Dragon Lance followed the golden thread back the way he came.

```

```

After he left, the statue of the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor... instantly cracked...

```

```

"Help!!! The statue of my Sword Ancestor has cracked!!!"

```

```

...

Black Dragon Calendar 3455, November 17th, sunny.

```

Today at Saint Blue City, I bought two big and one small blankets. The two big blankets are for Young Dragon Lucia, and the small one is for the Evil Dragon to cover himself when he turns into a human and sleeps on the rocker.

```

```

Black Dragon Calendar 3455, November 18th, sunny to cloudy.

```

The citizens within Saint Blue City are talking, saying that there seems to be an Evil Dragon lurking near the capital, and saying that the disappearance of the princess a while ago might be related to the Evil Dragon.
