Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 49

Chapter 49 – A Dangerous Homecoming



Eros: Gosh, the early part is hard to translate. Sorry if there’s any mistake.

Because of some unforeseen happenings, the party are now visiting the dragonkin village.
The dragonkin create their small village in an untrodden and secluded place far from human settlement because they have decided to cut all contact with the lower world a few centuries ago. Even when the dragonkin cut all contact with human, they already learn human languages and have developed their own unique culture.
Elvira’s hometown is also one of such small villages where a small number of dragons live.

It was located in Barzelion continent that is located to the north of Eribairis continent.
This continent unique trait is that it divided into a few small kingdoms and each kingdom has their own unique culture and development progress.

In that continent, there is a steep mountain range that the locals believe to be the home of dragons. The mountain range is too severe that no normal human are able to transverse them. For human in this world who hasn’t yet found a way for them to fly in the sky, reaching the dragon’s village is but a mere dream.
That is the dragon hidden village.
Elvira’s hometown is located in the middle of the mountain and by utilizing their dragon’s strength, they cultivate the surrounding area and create a mountain village there.

There are some who create their house by clearing out the mountains and forest around and then from the timber lumbered from the surrounding forest, creates a wooden hut complete with its furniture. Or there also some who clear the area around the valley and just use any natural cave found there as a home. Their approach to construction technique is just far different when compared to the humans. And some area of the mountain is dotted with those unique building constructed by the dragons.
Their first and foremost princ.i.p.al rule is self sufficiency. Because of this, the dragons also construct farm and ranch to support themselves. They do that in so they can adequately fulfill their need independently even within this unique community which totally denies outside contact.
Once Deen said that their family is the one who manages the tribe, in other word Deen and Elvira’s father is the village chief.  Yet the house of Blackford family which has a higher position from those others doesn’t seem to have any difference when compared to other dragon’s wooden huts. It seems like there are no disparity by birth or by position inside the dragon’s community.

With Deen’s guide, Renya and his party arrive at a room that is probably a living room inside the Blackford family’s house. There are a few chairs and a big table that could fit a few people to have a gathering here but looking at the house as a whole, it was crudely constructed. They give the impression that there is no need for luxury or rather there is no meaning in having it even.
After a while, an old man who had the same hair color as Elvira enters the living room. He is a slender type of man just like Deen but he has a sharp gaze which one wouldn’t think an old man like him would have. From the old man gaze, it can be clearly felt just how superior the blood lines of a dragon is compared to the other living being.


“War G.o.d Renya-sama, it is my pleasure to meet you. Please let me introduce myself. I’m the one who manages over this village, Ard’hel Blackford”
“It is my pleasure to meet you too. Please forgive us for our sudden visit today”
“No, it’s alright. I’ve heard the circ.u.mstances from my son on the way back. I am already very grateful of you for taking a good care of my daughter yet we even trouble a divine being such as you with our dragonkin problem……”
“I’ve said it to Deen-san before but Elvira’s hometown trouble is also our trouble. I can’t stand being just a spectator. There’s no need for you to feel grateful at me because this is the thing that I personally wished for”
“Renya-sama……”
“Just think of it as the G.o.d who betrothed your daughter selfishly cleans up a problem because he doesn’t like it. I just do what I want to do. If I don’t like it even if millions of people beg me for it I will never ever do it. I just that kind of selfish, true-to-his-heart G.o.d”
“Huhuhu, I see. Indeed it is a G.o.d privilege to say things like that. But Renya-sama, almost every G.o.ds of this world also say similar things like what you have just said. The only differences are only the orientation of where that selfishness will go. And that is will that G.o.d selfishness harm the one living in the lower plane or will it bless them instead”


In short, Renya’s remark gradually getting more and more similar to a true G.o.ds’ remark. Even when he only try to persuade Ard’hel to not worry much about him helping them but it seems like it only brings a reversed effect from what he expected. Renya can only scratch his own head with troubled expression. He don’t know that it his laid back att.i.tude is already enough to pacify the dragon chief from worrying too much.


“But then again even if you are indeed a G.o.d, challenging an opponent without trying to look for its info is a height of r.e.t.a.r.dness. If you don’t mind, I want to give an explanation about the current situation……”
“Of course! Please do”
“Then…… first about the current situation. The seal in question is located in the northern plaza. As we speak now, several dragons that excels at sealing skill are suppressing down the seal to hold down the unsealing process”
“So it means that you managed to maintain the present equilibrium right?...... But that surely wouldn’t last long would it?”
“Yes. Even to just maintain the current equilibrium have made a few of our numbers to suffer heavy wound”


In short, they somehow managed to keep the seal suppressed but that won’t be for long.
The one who have responsibilities to carry on the dragon bloodline, the dragon pup, and a few other who are responsible with nurturing them had already evacuate from this place. Those who stay behind already have the resolution to seal back the evil dragon even if they had to exchange their life for it. So as Ard’hel continue his explanations.


“We can’t let that evil dragon, Niezgund, to escape his seal and cause destruction again in the world. That thing is a cannibal that had dragon slayer factor embedded with its power. If that thing were to get released again then all of the dragonkin except for itself would destined to get doomed!”
“Even being a dragon itself yet it has a same-race slayer factor within its body. This is really such a good plot to come…… anyway, indeed with an opponent like that I could understand why your ancestor can only try sealing him away”
“Plot? Err… Yes. Just look at the damages it caused when it’s menacing energy wave get leaked out of the seal when the seal was. .h.i.t by that stupid guy. Even with just its leaked energy wave is already enough to make several dragons suffered from heavy wound. Just thinking about that already made many of our kin tremble in fear. And if just the energy wave is this much deadly, what will happen when it finally emerge fully from the seal?”


The scene when the seal gets broken can easily be imagined by them: a total ma.s.sacre.


“But then again what did that r.e.t.a.r.d…… excuse me, that dragon who tried to tamper the seal have in his mind? What did he want to achieve by it?”
“Even though the family who is responsible for guarding the stone pillar which is the foundation of the seal had collected all the necessary references regarding the disaster Niezgund brought in the ancient times, It also baffles me why the third son of that family would get this fearless when dealing with that evil dragon. Is it maybe because he is the third son that he doesn’t get involved to much in the family roles? Or is it because his experience from having contacts with the humans that made him gets such a funny and totally r.e.t.a.r.ded idea?”
“That is indeed reasonable. If he thinks too positively that he would only receives the power while leaving the seal intact then that scenario really has a big chance striking home”
“There’s no other way to confirm this beside asking that guy directly but…… there’s no need for such thing. From the point where he done the taboo of touching the seal, his family is already giving up on rescuing him. They even don’t care if we are to seal him in together with the evil dragon”
“Well, our current situation is really a difficult one so I understand the principle of sacrificing one to save hundred. But I just don’t expect them to just let it go easily like this. Didn’t the dragons only have a few in numbers……?”
“That’s exactly why we need to be swift even when carrying out a decision that might be seen as cruel. If we still fuss about his life in such critical time and made us lose our focus and at that time another life is lost because of that then all would be for naught. Moreover, I think you have heard the rumors but even his family is already got fed up by that 3rd son boy foolish act”
“…… I feel I can understand that. It seems like there is already no way to helping this r.e.t.a.r.d out. And that this decision is also a shared opinion for all the dragons in the village”
“That’s right. There should be a limit on thinking too highly of yourself in this world! I don’t know how many time I had think of it nowadays but if I know thing would end up this way then I should’ve just let that guy reduces his height by a total of one head with the reason of his rudeness in wooing Elvira! Even with only remembering his superficial face right now made me want to spit up some fire literally!”


Against those who have committed crime, you must not pardon them even if they are from your own family.
Hearing that, Renya is thinking that such harsh way of thinking is also adapted by the dragons even when they are from the different race from human.
But at the same time, He also thinks that even the dragons have a too overprotective parent as well.
Ard’hel current fit of rage was merely from remembering that r.e.t.a.r.d when he comes to woo his daughter. Only that and yet his fit of anger is unexplainably explosive without any clear reasons.

Does this perhaps meant that, after this series of event had cleared, he still have to resolute himself more than ever? Now that he realizes it, he put more resolution into a certain matter quietly. In another point of view, the evil dragon that he about to face is just a cute weaklings in front of the ‘true’ last boss he will face after. He just can’t shake off this premonition of his.
But from Ard’hel way of speaking, it has cleared another one of Renya’s worry. He doesn’t have any intent to save the r.e.t.a.r.d even from the start so it really relieves him a lot. Renya feel less pressure from the coming fight and become carefree like always but there is still one point that he needs to affirm no matter what.


“I already most of the situation. But Ard’hel-san, I want to confirm one last thing with you. Is it okay?”
“Fumu. Please speak”
“Right, So what I want to say is, will it become a problem if I ---- defeat the evil dragon instead of sealing it?”
“Come again?”
“No no, you said it before that your purpose is to ‘seal again’ so I’ve been thinking. Because I, a G.o.d, had decided to help you so why not clear this problem away once and for all so you won’t have to worry about it again in the future? Or is there any reasons that need the evil dragon to keep sealed in no matter what?”
“N-no…… of course if we can eliminate it completely then it would be for e best……”
“Understood. Well then, with this war G.o.d full power, I will try to answer your expectation perfectly”


With that, he had finished his business here.
Riding on that impetus, Renya stand up and leave for his battle. Of course the girls in his company follow suit to Renya’s action, and Elvira is also included in that party.


“Elvira…… Are you going too? Your opponent will be that cannibal same-race-killer evil dragon you know?”
“I understand father’s worry.  But, right now, I’m one of Renya-sama’s wives. If my husband is going forward into war then it is naturally my duty as a wife to support that back”
“That is indeed one of our dragon tribe’s traditional teaching…… however”
“Have you heard the news father? Renya-sama is someone who had won a fight against that famous Thunder G.o.d Alberg. Even if that thing is called evil dragon, that thing is after all ‘something that failed’ in reaching the realm of G.o.d. With Renya-sama ---- and us, his wives, fighting it, there is no way for us to lose”


Ard’hel could only get shocked from hearing the news from his daughter.
Of course he had known about the thunder G.o.d Alberg. As the native G.o.d of this world, when restricted to their martial prowess in the field of fighting, Alberg is definitely this world big five in term of strength.
And to hear that a young G.o.d who haven’t even pa.s.ses a year since his ascension have managed to get the better of him, just how impossible is that?

But, what surprises Ard’hel is not only that fact.
It was because Elvira had used ‘us, his wives’ when speaking before. It means that those human girls will also join the battle! Those puny humans that from a dragon point of view would get blown off if they sneezed, moreover a woman at that, are fighting alongside with the war G.o.d!?
Even if a dozen of dragons try to fight the evil dragon, the best that they can are only barely to maintain the seal yet his daughter Elvira confidently declares that the war G.o.d with only a few of his followers would manage to eliminate that evil dragon completely.
If other people were to say that, there will be no one that believes them so why is it indeed?
Why is it when his daughter declares that and he once again observe Renya and his party closely, Ard’hel couldn’t help thinking that those words are definitely not just some mere boasting.


Even with his biased view for his daughter, Ard’hel would still think that Elvira’s power is but a far cry against the evil dragon.
However, the sight of his daughter when obediently following after the back of the youth whose real ident.i.ty is the war G.o.d that stands at the center of his group seemed far stronger than any other dragon while also being the most beautiful.

This youth with just a few months time could already push his daughter existence power up by leaps and bound like this? Or is it simply because the love that his daughter always desires, the pair where she can loved and be loved without holding back that she had thought to be nonexistent in this world, had suddenly come true and stimulate her rapid growth?
Against the speechless Ard’hel, Renya turns his face back and with a gentle smile says:


“Your worry is not unjust but, be it the r.e.t.a.r.d who thinks too highly of himself or be it the evil dragon who is nothing but a nuisance, I definitely won’t let any of them to touch even one strand of Elvira’s hair! Just wait for our good news. The day when this village becomes free from the menace of the evil dragon is near”


Renya calmly left the living room.
Well then ---- shall we start exterminating some r.e.t.a.r.d?
