Chapter 121: Meeting Old Acquaintances
Hugging Areishia's body in a princess carry, Ars walked out of the portal that connected Astral Zero to a hill located on the border of the Dracunia Empire.
Following behind him were Restia and Est.
"This is… the Sacred Queen's hometown?"
Observing the surroundings, Restia could see the village in the distance. Compared to a millennium ago, the village's population has increased a lot.
"This is Areishia's favorite place."
Looking at the hill filled with flowers in front of her, Est remembered the time when the three of them lived a peaceful life.
"This will be her final resting place."
Ars' cold expression turned gentle when he saw Areishia's peaceful face.
*Rumble*
The ground in front of them split open to form a rectangular hole. Then, various types of beautiful flowers magically grew to fill the hole.
Of course, this was the work of Ars who used the Dao of Creation and the Dao of Life with the help of Heaven's Will. It was impossible for him to create a living being like a god, but it was no problem manipulating small things like this.
Areishia's body floated into the air, entered the hole, and landed softly inside.
"Areishia... This is all my fault."
Seeing her lying in a pile of flowers, Est couldn't hold back her sadness and started crying.
"Don't blame yourself, Est. Areishia knew using you would lead to her death, but she did it anyway. This is her wish without coercion, she will definitely be sad to see you cry."
Patting Est's head, Ars tried to comfort her as tears also rolled down the corners of his eyes.
"Don't pretend to be tough, there's no one but us here. Who says men can't cry? Don't bottle up your feelings, Ars. Come here."
Standing in front of Ars, Restia spread her arms.
"Ugh... Hic..."
Due to the height difference, Ars lowered his knees to the ground, then buried his face in Restia's chest. He cried silently.
"Yosh Yosh Yosh... Forget all your sadness, Ars has done his best."
While stroking Ars' hair, Restia comforted him like a mother.
After 15 minutes passed, Ars' mood improved somewhat.
"My love for you will always be there, even after you are gone. Goodbye, Areishia."
Looking at Areishia one last time, Ars waved his hand. In the next second, the hole slowly closed.
Using Idaten's innate skill, namely [Weapon Manifestation]. Ars stuck a copy of Severian's Sacred Sword into the ground as a tombstone.
"Still not enough."
Ars once again used the power of Heaven's Will.
Next, an octagram-shaped protective formation enveloped the entire hill.
"What are you doing?" Restia asked.
"This is the barrier that will protect Areishia's tomb. This barrier will last until the world ends or someone stronger than me destroys it." Ars answered.
He didn't want anyone to damage the tomb when he had left this world. Apart from that, Ars also blessed all the flowers on the hill so that they never wither forever.
"You two return to the Spirit Seal." Ars said.
"Okay."
Restia nodded, then turned into a black light and entered the Spirit Seal on Ars' left hand.
Gazing at Areishia's tomb, Est said nothing and returned to the Spirit Seal in Ars' right hand.
"Let's fulfill my promise before leaving."
The appearance of the protective formation was so conspicuous that it attracted the attention of the villagers who came to see it.
Even though Ars had lived in the village, he had no intention of greeting anyone. After all, the villagers he knew had long died.
Ignoring them, he opened a portal and walked in.
"Oh, you're still alive. I thought you were gone, considering you haven't shown your presence in the world for a millennium."
As soon as Ars passed through the portal, he was greeted by a naked girl tied by tree roots, who looked at him with a smile.
"Long time no see, Bahamut."
"Um, really too long. It seems you came empty handed this time."
Bahamut was a bit disappointed to see that Ars didn't bring a cake. Even so, she didn't show it.
"I'm sorrow about what happened to Areishia Idriss."
"Um." Ars nodded.
Creating chairs and tables through the Dao of Creation, he placed various kinds of cakes taken from [Storage Magic].
*Gulp*
Looking at the cake in front of her that looked delicious, Bahamut swallowed her saliva hard and saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth. However, what shocked her the most was that the curse that had bound her for thousands of years was destroyed by Ars with just a wave of his hand.
Unprepared, Bahamut landed on the ground face first. As the Dragon King, she was not injured at all.
Staring at her liberated self, she still couldn't believe it.
"Don't just be in a daze, quickly put on your clothes, or would you rather be naked?"
"Ars, how did you do it?"
Bahamut didn't care about seeing her naked body, after all, this wasn't the first time Ars had seen it.
"With a wave of my hand."
"I know that too, I mean your method."
"Simply put, the curse couldn't withstand my power and was destroyed. Does that satisfy you?"
"How strong are you really, Ars?"
"Hmm… Even the Light Elemental Lord was killed by me."
"Is it true?"
Hearing that, Bahamut was stunned. She knew how powerful the Elemental Lords were, especially the Light Elemental Lord who was the strongest among the Elemental Lords.
"Don't you want to eat cake? Eat quickly before the taste wears off."
"Oh, okay."
Divine power enveloped Bahamut, then beautiful clothes suddenly appeared on her body. Sitting in an empty chair, she started tasting the cakes one by one on the table.
"Woah, this is so sweet~. This is my first time eating cake this delicious."
Happiness was clearly visible on Bahamut's face. Not only did she escape the curse, her also ate the cake Ars gave her.
"Yum yum yum... You said you killed the Light Elemental Lord, what's the reason?" Bahamut asked.
"It all started... Blah Blah Blah..."
Ars didn't hide anything, he explained the cause and effect of his actions.
After hearing the story, Bahamut felt angry.
"Hmph, Alexandros deserves to die. That bastard used Areishia as his vessel and also opened a gate for Otherworldly Darkness to come to this world."
On the other hand, Ars started smoking.
Exhaling smoke, he gave a warning.
"Bahamut, as soon as possible you must choose your heir to take over the Dracunia Empire."
"Why?"
"Because the world is about to enter a period of chaos."
"Period of chaos? What do you really want to do, Ars?"
Bahamut narrowed her eyes, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
"Huffff... The wheels are always turning, for too long women have been world hegemons. It is time for men to take on the role of hegemony." Ars said indifferently.
Over the past millennium, there has been little progress in civilization. The world stagnated and remained in the medieval era.
The women in power never develop and innovate, they are too conservative.
Drinking tea, banquets, shopping, bullying men, etc. They don't care about science at all.
Before starting his next journey, Ars wants to change the order of this world.
