'Pfft~'
However, no matter how much he multiplies, Hyoudou Issei, who was originally only 1, can never break through to double digits; he is still just an ant.
A shadow blade rose from the ground and severed Hyoudou Issei's legs.
"Ah~!!!"
The screams of agony immediately echoed throughout the entire laboratory building, and in a corner, Motohama and Matsuda huddled together in fear.
They watched as their best friend turned into a monster, and now, that monster friend is being defeated by even more terrifying monsters.
[Such powerful magic, and this magic filled with the scent of the abyss, the dark power of the Demon God race.]
"Oh? Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig, you've actually awakened."
[You demon prince, today, your resentment and anger over your classmate's refusal to help him in his time of need awakened me from my slumber. However, meeting you is truly unfortunate for him.]
"That's wrong. Meeting me wasn't bad luck; he brought it on himself, which is why he ended up like this."
I don't argue. An ant provoking a dragon—if it were me, I would be far more ruthless.
"Judging from your tone, it seems you don't care whether the host lives or dies?"
[The host's fate? Over the years, I've had countless hosts, but this guy is the first one as trashy as him.]
"is it?"
Kong Yang immediately laughed. In the original work, Drag did indeed look down on Hyoudou Issei at first.
However, even he later had to admit that this guy was a freak; he was the first person to choose a path other than tyranny and succeed in it.
However, all of this is impossible now. Since they have become enemies, Kong Yang will naturally not let the tiger return to the mountain.
If he hadn't awakened the artifact, Kong Yang planned to torture him for another two days, but now that he had awakened the artifact, Kong Yang was going to eliminate him completely.
Even if he has been drained of most of his life force, it doesn't mean he's doomed.
As the protagonist, facing death and surviving is commonplace for him. Putting aside everything else, in his current situation, as long as he is reincarnated as a demon, nothing will happen to him.
And since he happens to possess a God-Slaying Gear, there are countless demons willing to reincarnate under his command.
"Dreig, since you are such a useless host, why not become my weapon? I will take you to experience the true peak of this world."
[Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Demon God race, so confident.]
"And what is your answer, Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig?"
Kong Yang stared at the crimson gauntlet on Hyoudou Issei's arm, or more accurately, the green jade.
[P.S.: One bonus chapter still owed!]
Chapter 49: Defeating Hyoudou Issei, Huge Reward! (Bonus Chapter 4)
"You demon race brat, you want to become my master?"
"What, am I not qualified?"
Of course not. You are certainly qualified, but shouldn't you already have your own system? Why do you still need my help?
"Who would complain about being weak? Besides, the world is a very complex place."
That's right, the world is a complex place.
"So, what's your answer?"
If you can do it, then choosing you is perfectly acceptable.
"very good."
Kong Yang immediately smiled, then opened his hand, and a ball of dark magic power emanated from it.
Dark power enveloped Hyoudou Issei, then slowly coalesced, eventually forming a magic circle.
The surface was devoid of any patterns, instead composed of various runes and incantations. This was the method that Sazex taught Kong Yang to strip away the divine artifact.
Through a special magic circle, the divine artifact was forcibly extracted from the human body.
During this process, the human being who hosts the artifact will suffer a fate worse than death, and will certainly die after losing the artifact.
"what!!!"
The pain was so intense it pierced the very depths of my soul, but it was utterly useless.
The magic circle slowly activated, and a crimson phantom of a Western dragon was torn out from his body.
'Roar~'
In that instant, one of the two Heavenly Dragons, known as the 'Crimson Dragon Emperor', saw the light of day once more.
The entire city of Kuoh was engulfed in magical chaos, and the sky above Kuoh Academy had become a vortex of magical energy.
Then, with a dragon's roar, a crimson dragon claw was pulled out.
At that moment, Hyoudou Issei also stopped breathing and collapsed to the ground.
Hilde and Yorda, standing to the side, stared in disbelief at everything that was happening.
His Highness is truly amazing! He obtained a divine artifact so easily, and judging from its appearance, it must be the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets, one of the God-Slaying Gears.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed the hidden quest 'The Protagonist's Tragedy': Kill the chosen one of this world, Hyoudou Issei. Rewards: Super Summoning*1, Advanced Summoning*1, Normal Summoning*1"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed the hidden quest 'Lord of the Crimson Dragon: Seize the Gauntlets of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, the God-Slaying Tool.' You have received the following rewards: 5 Advanced Card Draws and 10 Normal Card Draws."
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed the mission 'Crimson Dragon's Lament': Defeat the Crimson Dragon Emperor, one of the two Heavenly Dragons of this era. Reward: 3 Advanced Card Draws"
Just as the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet transformed into a stream of light and merged into Kong Yang's body, the system notification sounded.
Kong Yang was stunned. He never expected that by killing Hyoudou Issei and taking away the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet, he would have completed three missions in one fell swoop.
Moreover, there are two hidden quests, one of which is the previously triggered 'Crimson Dragon's Lament' quest.
This immediately delighted Kong Yang. Good heavens, when luck comes, you can't stop it. He's really made a fortune this time.
"Ding! Side quest triggered: The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Victory: Defeat the current White Dragon Emperor. Completion reward: Advanced card draw *3!"
Kong Yang smiled again. He had completed one task, and then triggered another, which perfectly overlapped with his second task.
Putting everything else aside, defeating Vali once is equivalent to completing two missions.
This feels so amazing! Kong Yang said, "Give me a dozen more of these kinds of missions!"
【Bost!】
Then, crimson gauntlets appeared on Kong Yang's arm.
Kong Yang truly experienced the feeling of exponentially increasing power and magic.
[Partner, you really are a monster. It's unbelievable that such immense magical power and such pure darkness reside within you.]
“That’s far from enough. What I want is to stand at the very top of everything.”
"You're not thinking of challenging that person, are you? My partner."
"Challenge? No, I'm going to hunt it down."
"You really dare to say that, partner."
Drag's words were filled with disbelief.
Even he could only look up to that one; that was the highest-ranking being in their Crimson Dragon Clan.
Since its inception, it has occupied the top of the world's strongest position, and no one can shake it.
Even now, when people discuss strength, they forget about him. It's not that they've forgotten his existence, but rather that they subconsciously ignore him.
When faced with something that can only be looked up to and from which no hope can be seen, the weak can only deceive themselves.
Among the top ten strongest beings in this world, the one at the top is the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus. But everyone knows that there is another one above her, but that other one does not interfere in the affairs of any world, so he is not included.
The spiritual world exists within a realm filled with unfathomable darkness.
In this darkness lies a corner of lava hell.
Above the lava, there was a giant dragon with a body entirely crimson.
She is the dragon soul of one of the two Heavenly Dragons residing in the Crimson Dragon's Gauntlet, the Crimson Dragon Emperor, Draig Goh.
"It's unbelievable that in his mind I can only occupy a corner of this dark realm, and can't even get close to the depths of darkness. It's really unbelievable."
This crimson dragon transformed directly into human form, and it wasn't a burly man, but a woman.
A queen with red hair and wearing a long red dress.
No one could believe that the Crimson Dragon, one of the Two Heavenly Dragons who once roamed the world with impunity, was actually a woman, and a queen at that.
Outside, Kong Yang looked at Hyoudou Issei's corpse beside him, opened his hands, and the mist began to spread.
In the blink of an eye, it was completely swallowed up.
The protagonist is someone you have to eliminate completely, because you never know what other tricks he might have up his sleeve.
Kong Yang didn't want to die one leg only to be resurrected the next, and then, because of hatred, continue to cheat his way through life.
Finally, in a short period of time, it became a major threat to him.
Kong Yang's attitude towards these main characters was clear: either he would take them under his wing or he would eliminate them completely.
In Orario, Kong Yang took Bell, who was portrayed as a woman, as his subordinate because she was female. Here, however, Kong Yang eliminated Hyoudou Issei because he was male. One world doesn't need two protagonists.
'Buzz~'
'Swish~'
As luck would have it, at that moment, two magic circles lit up in the distance.
Then Riya, accompanied by Akeno, and Sona, accompanied by Tsubaki, arrived here.
When they saw Kong Yang, especially the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet on Kong Yang's arm, all four of them were stunned.
What's happening here?
Where did that unfamiliar magic go?
And where did you get this magical artifact?
[P.S.: One bonus chapter still owed!]
(P.S.: I can only work this far now, it's already 2:04, I've reached my limit~)
Chapter Fifty Explanation!
This wasn't the place to talk, so the group went to Rias's Supernatural Research Department.
After everyone was seated, Akeno prepared tea for everyone and then returned to Rias's side.
As for Kong Yang, he naturally became the target of public criticism.
"So, what exactly happened just now, and where did your magical artifact come from?"
Rias voiced her question, while Sona's gaze remained fixed on Kong Yang.
"Simply put, the gauntlet of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, one of the God Destroying Gears, is residing inside Hyoudou Issei's body. After suffering repeated bullying at school today, it awakened and went berserk tonight."
"Huh? God-Slaying Gear? The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets? School bullying? Berserk?"
These individual words, when put together, immediately paint a picture of a story that resembles a movie.
One of the notorious trio of perverts at Kuoh Academy is actually the current Red Dragon Emperor? Are you kidding me?
"So, that burst of magical power just now was Hyoudou Issei's magical power?"
"Yes."
"What about the others?"
"Of course he's dead. Where do you think his magic came from? An ordinary person, besides burning his life force, could not possibly have such a massive amount of magic."
"Didn't you reincarnate him as a dependent?"
This is the host of the God-Slaying Tool, and the Crimson Dragon Emperor. Why don't you take it for yourself?
However, Sona and Rias forgot one thing: the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlets now belong to Kong Yang, which is enough to explain the situation.
"What a joke! How could I possibly let a lecherous pervert become my familiar? I'm surrounded by beautiful women. Why would I want a familiar like that? What, do you think you're not green enough?"
