When Serafall heard the mysterious voice, she immediately started surveying the white space. But before she could find anything, Flanna stopped in front of her and shook her head, saying that she shouldn't do anything else.
"...Spirit King?" Kisuke guessed since that was the only new aura around them, "I thought you had already died. And at the hands of your own son."
[...Spirit King... That's what they are calling me... I remember.]
Kisuke immediately felt weird when he heard that, 'What's this?'
The Spirit King was able to read his mood and continued, [I am but a part of the Spirit King, created with a single goal in mind.]
That indirectly answered Kisuke's question, 'Though I will need to confirm that once we've landed.'
Regardless of what Kisuke is thinking, the 'Spirit King' went on, [The single goal of becoming a guiding light post for the ones who've departed.]
"As expected, you're the one who pushed Byakko to leave even though we could totally survive. And here I thought I miscalculated the time Neliel needed to pull us out to safety." Kisuke sighed. It was something that has been bothering him ever since he reincarnated but now he got an answer. Although this only opened up more, "But why?"
[Because I had already failed several times and I could only hope for someone who was not influenced by this world.]
"...What? That didn't explain anything."
[Unfortunately, that's everything I know. After all, I'm just a very small part of something that wanted all of this to happen.]
Kisuke creased his brows and several hypotheses came to mind regarding the situation, however, he doesn't have any supporting evidence for any of them so he could only hope to investigate it more, "Then what now?"
[Before you return, I only want to say one thing. Be wary of Hell.]
Without being able to ask any further questions, the white space they are in was instantly wrapped in a kaleidoscope for a few seconds before they found themselves up in the sky.
"Sera-chan, please secure the girls and after that, examine them and yourself to figure out if anything is wrong." Kisuke immediately sent out his instructions while scanning his surroundings and checking his own body, "Ophis-chan, Lilith-chan, Flanna, restrict your aura as much as possible. We don't know what sort of defense mechanism this world has against foreigners so it's best not to attract any attention for now."
As Serafall gathered the girls, she immediately noticed that her Demonic Power was moving a lot faster but in exchange, there was almost no Magic Power in the air for her to recover with, 'It's not just the amount, their presence is also a lot thinner compared to the amount present. Anyone below a certain level of mastery won't be able to find their existence.'
Since Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna don't really require anything to recover, they didn't notice this immediately and just focused on repressing their aura as Kisuke instructed them.
'This scenery... London?' When Kisuke looked down, he found some familiar landmarks and was able to pinpoint where they were now on Earth, 'But something is weird... Ah...'
At that moment, his eyes landed on the horizon and saw a vast expanse of greenery and mountains that he knew wasn't in London. On top of that, there are large flying creatures that are releasing a somewhat familiar aura, 'Dragons? Then this must be...'
"Boss! Look! Something interesting!" Flanna suddenly shouted at him, "Can we go?"
Kisuke turned to the direction where Flanna was pointing and saw a series of explosions happening on the ground far from them. And in the middle of it was a majestic feathered white Dragon with a crown on its head.
Kisuke thought about it for a second before pulling Tiamat and using her power to disguise himself the same as when he saved Stralit, "Sera-chan, please take the kids somewhere safe first."
Serafall pouted while stabilizing their descent, "I want to go too, but it can't be helped..."
"I'll give you a proper tour later... Though there's not much to see really."
As soon as Serafall used her short-range teleport, Kisuke, Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna excitedly flew toward the Dragon who was attacking a few people riding smaller Dragons, "Boss, why do you seem so excited? Is it because you finally returned home?"
Although Kisuke hadn't said anything yet, everyone who was awake when the 'Spirit King' revealed his presence knew the basics of what was going on.
"That's a part of it but most of it is because I've really only seen a Dragon one time when I was here. All I know about them is from the records and all of them are just basic knowledge given to Witches and Wizards since any high-level document is locked behind certain authorities... And lastly, people like me aren't exactly welcomed here."
"Why is that?" Flanna curiously asked.
"Well... We completely exterminated the Dragons on our side because we had our hands full with another matter and we didn't want to deal with them."
Ophis, Lilith, and Flanna looked at him strangely so Kisuke immediately added, "They can only do this because another group of monsters couldn't easily reach this side of the world. Besides, the cycle of Human souls is centered on the east and any contact with a Dragon is disastrous so we had no choice but to eliminate them from the equation."
"Boss... We're not judging you. We're just wondering what you meant."
Kisuke looked at them for a moment before feigning a cough, "Ahem... Sorry, I forgot. I'll explain later. For now, let's take a look at that Dragon. It doesn't seem to be intelligent."
As they got near, the four of them saw dust released from the Dragon and each grain contained compressed Spiritual Power with a very tiny amount of Magic Power mixed into it.
Those who were on the receiving side of the attack were about to defend themselves and Flanna suddenly inserted herself between them and blew back the dust with a swing of her arm. She then released a bit of her Draconic aura and disrupted the volatile Spiritual Power that was contained within the grains and made them explode, "Hoo~ Boss. As I expected, this guy is interesting. It's mostly using the power of Soul."
Naturally, Kisuke couldn't reply to her words since those who were fighting the white Dragon were much more confused, "Huh!? Who are you brat!?" The black-haired young man shouted at Flanna.
