OVERLORD: GOD OF THE NEW WORLD - CHAPTER 24 (Patreon)

The dragon kingdom was nothing to be excited about, yes the majority of the inhabitants were dragons or dragonoids, but that’s where the magic ended, besides the species that inhabited the place, there was nothing special about it, which is why I wanted to make my stay as short as possible.

My plan was to gauge the power of the current ruler of this kingdom, and the previous one, if they were strong, I would mark them as possible threats, and deal with them myself, all in time, of course, for now, I was going to gather information, all in the hopes of making a comprehensive list of the strongest beings in this world.

Why did I want to make a list? I am glad you asked, imagine this, I find the strongest being in this world, and end up killing him, after that what? Well let me answer that, after that everything will be boring, and I had no intention of doing that, I wanted to slowly climb that ladder, making each fight, and kill more interesting than the last.

And to do that, I wanted the list, kinda like a dungeons guide, that tells you which boss is the hardest, I wanted something like that for this. “Sebas books us a room, I will explore the area,”

“I will go with you if you so permit it, Alastor-sama,” Fenrir bowed as he asked his request, and I nodded.

“I will help unpack,” Zesshi winked, helping Sebas unpack the bags.

With a smile, I started to explore the vast lands of the Dragon Kingdom, with Fenrir close behind, from what I was able to see, most of the inhabitants were low-level, with the majority of the soldiers being level ten and so.

“There is the castle,” I pointed, already disappointed with the fact I felt no strong magic signature, then again, maybe the Dragon lords here were warriors, one can only hope.

With a bit of hope my guess was correct I continued my walk, this time my path aimed to the castle, and from the get-go, I could already tell one thing, the soldiers were progressively getting stronger as we walked, which if you ask me, is a rather dumb way to protect a place, the best way to avoid intruders was to put the strongest warriors at the lower levels, as we did on Nazarick, with Shalltear, X-77, and Fenrir.

“Who are you?” A voice asked, it sounded old, and to be honest it startled me.

“Alastor,” I replied, whoever this person was, it had a good understanding of magic, the question was, how the fuck did he managed to connect with me, it shouldn’t be… oh, I see now, I entered his domain, and domains can bypass certain requirements.

“I think I worded that question wrong, what are you?” Well now, that’s a complicated question.

“Well that’s a bit rude,” I chuckled.

“Your magic although sealed is massive,” the voice in my head elaborated, “Normally I can see more than magic within my domain,” I knew it, “But with you, all I can see is your massive power masked by that ring in your hand,” I looked at my hand, so much for a cheap cosmetic item.

“And?” I asked, humoring the unknown individual, he probably thought he was safe under the guise of his domain, but if he did, he was painfully wrong, I had the power to track him, but I wasn’t going to do it, I wanted to… enjoy the mystery a bit longer, besides, if he canceled his domain I would know where exactly he was hiding.

“I have no intentions of fighting you, I find such actions a waste of my time, but I would very much appreciate it if you didn’t cause a ruckus on my kingdom,” his kingdom, well hello Brightness Dragon Lord.

“Hello there, Dragon Lord,” I smiled.

“I have a feeling no matter what I do, you will cause problems,” The Brightness Dragon Lord sighed.

“Not necessarily,” I hummed, “Help me out, and I promise, I won’t be a bad guest,” I grinned.

“State your terms, and I will see if I can meet them,” The Dragon Lord replied.

“Simple, I wish to meet with you and your great-granddaughter, there is something I wish to confirm, and for that, I need to see the both of you, do that, and I won’t have to look all around for you…” Fuck it, time to see where he is, using my mana, I connected to his domain, locating the origin point, a whore house? Well, look at the naughty dragon, “A whore house… really?”

“I-I have needs!” The Dragon lord shouted, “Besides what I do or what I don’t do with my free time, it’s my problem!”

“Fair enough, so do we have a deal?” I asked again.

“Yes, I find your… petitions, acceptable,” The Dragon Lord sighed, “Continue your walk to the castle, I will let the guards know you are on your way,”

“Gladly,” I smiled, forcefully closing the connection. “Let’s go Fenrir,”

Fenrir who had been quiet during the entire conversion nodded, “Do you think the dragon lord is strong?”

“Well, he had a domain, so at best he’s stronger than Zesshi, but that’s not a great accomplishment,” I replied, wondering how strong were the two dragons I was about to meet.

[Brightness Dragon Lord - POV]

That guy was dangerous, his aura while repressed was almost terrifying, and so were the rest of the auras his companions had, except for the elf girl, the rest were strong, a dragon, an elf, and two unknowns. “We have a guest coming,” I told my great-granddaughter.

She looked at me, and said, “I am quite busy tonight, can we postpone this?”

I shook my head, “If we do, there is no telling what he will do, and if we have to deal with this possible threat, we best do it here, where we won’t hurt the citizen should an altercation occur,”

“So this visitor is a possible threat,” she sighed, “Why can’t visitors be a possible ally, or a possible merchant of alcohol, why always a threat!”
