The power running around inside me is from a Devil King class monster Core. Consequently, it seems it's still rampaging wildly within me.
When the other members of the Four Guardian Sword Dragons, East Blue Season Sei and South Red Season Suza, also arrived at the room the White Party and West White Season Byaku had rushed to, Naga opened his mouth to explain. His voice was full of vitality, as if he had returned to being the God Dragon Emperor Naga he was before the devil attack.
Naga's Dragon Spirit feels ferocious like magma instead of a clear stream like before. However, it's clear the power rivals his previous strength as God Dragon Emperor.
South Red Season Suza said with a nod. The Naga before his eyes was certainly emitting stronger and more invigorated Dragon Spirit than when he was using the Power Orb (small). The feeling that he was barely alive when he was using the Power Orb (small) as a Core was gone.
Compared to when I had a Rainbow Heart, it's about 80% as powerful? However, this Dairokuten Maou's Blood Orb still has room for growth. When I get used to it, I should be able to use it a little more skillfully.
But I wish you would have told us you were changing your Core beforehand. I sensed an outrageous presence and rushed here from my Seal Palace.
East Blue Season Sei said with a sigh. Everyone in that place had felt the same thing, so they nodded.
Sorry. Against my better judgement, I made merry in a manner unbecoming of my age.
Actually, since Kazane's smiling face was sayingPraise me! Praise me!so excessively, Naga was influenced by her and saidThen shall we exchange it?However, there was no way Naga would pin the blame on his wife.
After Naga's words, Jinrai alone nodded and saidThat can't be helped.Some people around Jinrai thought (you've been making merry too much recently), but Jinrai didn't notice. In the first place, he was a man unfit for being a father who did whatever he wanted to do with no regard for his family. He was fundamentally a self-centered person, so that couldn't be helped.
Well, since you're safe, it's fine, but please let us know in advance when you do such things. You are an indispensable existence for the dragons.
The only Oriental dragon in the room, West White Season Byaku, said. Naga apologized once again with a bitter expression.
Nevertheless, a Core replacement? That usually isn't something that's so easily done.
West White Season Byaku continued with a sigh. The tuning hadn't gone smoothly when they tried to put in the Power Orb (small) the previous time, so in the end, it was connected by Kazane.
Is that so?
Yumika asked. Yumika's summon, Demon Wolf Kuromaru, was a monster who had replaced his own Core with a Childstone, so she was curious about what Byaku said.
Yes. For monsters, that is to say, existences that rely on magical power as their main energy to live, the Core is their most important part. Even if their Core is replaced, if the power tuning doesn't go smoothly, they'll immediately die. Well, there's no mistaking that doing something like that is putting one's life on the line.
But tuning can be done without any problems with the Window's functions, right?
Kazane responded to Ao's explanation. Ao nodded to confirm Kazane's words.
That's right. With the imitation of Zexiahart's Window that players possess, it's possible. It can reliably tune without any disorder at all.
Haa, as ever, it has nonsensically high performance.
Yumika said with a frown. While she herself had been helped by the Window's abilities many times, its true character being completely unclear made it peerlessly eerie.
I think it can be categorized as a so-calledcheat. To this day, I don't understand what it is.
Ao shrugged and replied to Yumika's words.
Ao-san has been alive for 800 years, right? You didn't investigate it during that time?
I investigated it. The only thing we understood from the investigation was that we couldn't understand it. It is unmistakably constructed with very advanced magical techniques... but its structure is too complicated, so it's beyond our capacity.
It's that difficult?
Its structure is made up of a tremendously high number of overlapping magic formulas. Each formula is connected one by one in an extremely complex manner, compressed, and arrayed into millions of units. I don't know of a single person who can unlock even one, so naturally, the contents are unidentified. The magical formulas are so advanced that they're like a CPU's circuitry.
Kazane, Yumika, and Naoki made mixed expressions after those words.
Well, the operation alone is guaranteed. There have been no bugs in over 800 years.
Ao bitterly smiled and ended the conversation. He had resistance to using things he didn't understand. But this Window, which brought game concepts into everyday life, was too convenient. Ao desired power for the sake of dragonkind's prosperity, so not using it wasn't an option.
Well, at any rate, sorry for causing you worry.
Then Naga brought back the conversation.
Not at all. However, can't you restrain that ferocious Dragon Spirit a little?
West White Season Byaku replied to Naga. Certainly, everyone could feel their skin tingling due to the intimidating Dragon Spirit emanating from Naga. Tiara and Emily in particular had pale faces due to being too strongly affected. It was genuineDevil King's Intimidation.
It's because I'm not used to it yet, but, well, it'll probably calm down when I get a little more accustomed to it. I apologize again, but I'll be inconveniencing everyone for a while.
No, for Naga-sama, I think the impact of this level of tingling is for the better.
Indeed. It feels like our Dragon Knights will become unable to stand when they see him, though. Well, that could be something to look forward to in its own way.
It seemed Naga's transformation was welcomed by East Blue Season Sei and Rynox. Though the transformation itself was also welcomed by the other Four Guardian Sword Dragons.
Dragon society was fundamentally a meritocracy. No matter how long he had kept the dragons unified, it was clear that Naga with the Power Orb (small) as his Core would eventually lose his influence. But how about the current Naga? Although it was wild and ominous, he had regained Dragon Spirit that rivaled his former power, and the intimidation from him was exactly the intimidation of a ruler.
Even if he became a somewhat fiendish existence, everyone in the village would think the revival of the God Dragon Emperor they respected and adored was a wonderful thing.
Ahbut since Husband is active once again, should I return that golden sword?
Remembering the sword she had received, Kazane asked Naga. The swordGolden DuskKazane inherited was a dragon-exclusive summoned sword.
Naga had asked her to give it to Tatsuo in the future, but since Naga had revived, he should have no problem using the sword, so Kazane thought it might be better to return it.
No, it should be fine for you to keep that. Since I obtained a different specialized weapon.
So saying, Naga grinned, put his hand over the Blood Orb in his chest, and put his strength into it.
An even tenser atmosphere flowed in the room, and everyone was captivated by the object that appeared.
A giant, red, 10 meter long crystal sword had slid out of theDairokuten Maou's Blood Orb. No, it wasn't a sword, but akatana.
It's huge, right? It's cool, right?
Ooh, you're gallant, Father.
Kazane said with sparkling eyes, and Tatuso agreed with an excited Kuwaa. Naga seemed satisfied by their reactions and nodded.
It was in the Core's memory. This seems to be the former owner's weapon.
It certainly had the same shape as the odachi the King Odanobunaga possessed. However, it was more than three times larger, and the blade had turned into a red jewel.
Then Naga swung the sword once and saidHrmwith a nod. Apparently, he was more accustomed to it than he had imagined. Then it seemed like an idea came to him, and he turned to Kazane.
Kazane. How about it? How about using Dragonization and practicing with me?
Naga asked such a thing. It wasn't night practice, but daytime practice. It was a very wholesome and nice story.
Ah, that would be good.
Without any confusion, Kazane agreed with his proposal.
The Four Guardian Sword Dragons vigorously raised their hands in high spirits and saidUs as well!and accompanied Naga and Kazane for training in the courtyard.
Although Kazane couldn't use Skills during Dragonization, abilities that had soaked into her body through normal training didn't disappear. Using the 3-meter magic swordDecapitationand the summoned swordGolden Dusk, Kazane opposed Naga with her two sword-style. However, it was a 20 meter vs. 7 meter class dragon, so she lost even when it came to size, and above that, Naga was much stronger, so it was really only training for Kazane. There weren't many opponents of his size, so even for Kazane, it felt fresh.
After that, Jinrai desired his battle with the Heroic Spirit Sieg, and Kazane repliedI'm tired today, so tomorrow.It had already been more than 10 days since the last time he was summoned. TheDairokuten Maou's Blood Orbhad been successfully transplanted into Naga, so it was Kazane's turn to pitch in for Jinrai's sake.

Kazane: Husband is imposing.
Yumika: By the way, Naga-sama can't use Humanization?
Kazane: It seems he could when he had a Rainbow Heart, but it looks like it was impossible with the Power Orb (small). It might be possible once he's completely used to the Blood Orb, but it seems that will take about a decade.
Yumika: Is that so. Regrettable.
Kazane: Nn, Husband is fine the way he is, so there's no particular problem.
