Upon hearing those words Nagini responded quickly…


  「Wh-what do you mean ssu?」


  She asked as she looked up at the seated Founding Dragon King’s face.

  「『I don’t understand what you’re confused about. I just told you to release the power from that useless one’s body and absorb it into your own. Once you do you’ll be reborn as the one and only King.』」


  The voice echoed outside and insider her head saying the exact same words.

  「Why…would that…..saying she’s useless…..」


  「『It’s just the truth. That Dora lying over there accept my tremendous power and yet she complained and whined that ‘she didn’t want to kill her little sister’. Not only that she refused when I told her to release my power from her body. As a result she’s now in this coma. She did such a thing as forcing herself into such a state. Being controlled by such emotions is a failure as a King. I cannot allow such a being to the vessel of my power.』」


  It spoke with disappointment filling its voice. The Founding Dragon clearly gazed upon the sleeping Dora with a loathsome gaze.

  「『Even though you should have known that the revival of this Dragon Country depends on both my power and someone who is willing to listen to my commands. It’s for that reason I chose you when you were born from your mother and I raised you….now she chooses to give in to unnecessary sentiment……Well that’s the end of the explanations. Now Nagini, I have successfully extracted the essence of my will from within Dora. You may freely end her as you please.』」


  Its long monologue echoed and swirled inside her head as she struggled before finally comprehending what the Founding Dragon had truly said.

  Then, for some unknown reason her body began moving. She faced Dora and held out her hand. Inside of her palm attack magic was charging up but…


  「N-no I don’t want to ssu……!!!」


  She forcibly moved her body and canceled the magic.

  「Hm….what?」


  「Dora-ane is…someone I hold dear….I can’t let her die ssu.」


  「Hmm…I see you have some lingering affections, I can’t say it’s unreasonable….then I shall do it. It’ll save effort if it’s done before she awakens.」


  The Founding Dragon began to sit up with an irritated look in its eyes. Then a large number of glowing magic orbs with lightning arcing around them formed around its head and neck.

  「Creation of the Lightning God」


  It said casually and fired the orbs towards Dora’s body.

  This attack clearly intended on killing her. Just by looking at them you could tell that even one had the power to kill an unsuspecting Dragon. That’s why…


  「I won’t let you…!!」


  Nagini leapt in between them and blocked the lightning attack with her hands…


  「Uuu….ku!!」


  and in one breath deflected them towards the ceiling.

  Upon seeing her actions the look in the Founding Dragon’s eyes clearly changed as it looked at Nagini.

  「Lady Nagini…..why you little……You refuse to abide by my control and insist on covering for her you bastard…..each and every one of you acting so impudently…….」


  The Founding Dragon gazed down at them with disgust and loathing.

  Those eyes made Nagini shake with fear but more than that…


  「Why…why would you say this ssuka…?」


  She didn’t understand why he was behaving like this.

  It was clear that the lightning attack aimed towards her sister was intended to kill her but…


  「Why, why are you saying this when you’re the one who raised us…!!?」


  She screamed out.

  「Of course, it’s so I may obtain a powerful body to use. Isn’t that obvious!!」


  The Founding Dragon loudly spat out. After hearing things stated that clearly even Nagini couldn’t continue denying.

  「…..so we were…just considered vessels for you ssuka?」


  She couldn’t help but murmur, however there was no denial forthcoming. Instead the Founding Dragon clicked its tongue.

  「Tsk, looks like I overgrew your ego. How troublesome. Maybe the feed that I prepared for you was too much…I can’t control you properly….It’s unfortunate but…it seems I have no choice. At the very least both of your bodies have passed the trial.」


  The Founding Dragon spoke regaining its calm.

  At the same time a grey colored light emerged from the top of Nagini’s head and returned to the Founding Dragon’s body.

  「I was foolish for trying to do things the easy way. If the body is deconstructed and the soul returned then I can simply reconstruct it again. Even if the very root of consciousness is erased it would be fine. Well, what happens…happens.」


  Once the light left Nagini’s body she could no longer hear the Founding Dragon’s voice echo in her head.

  Perhaps the Founding Dragon had weakened.

  All of a sudden she felt that her mind had cleared up.

  However, she didn’t have the leeway to analyze her physical state at this moment…


  「For now I should just dismantle the sleeping one to make things easier.」


  The Founding Dragon casually moved to bare its fangs at Dora.

  It literally opened its mouth wide to consume Dora completely. But,

  「…..I understand ssu」


  Nagini approached Dora’s body more quickly and sliced through the bottom side of the Founding Dragon’s Jaw, cutting it clean off.

  「…..!!?」


  「You’re my enemy. I’ll protect Dora-ane ssu…!!!」


  The Founder who was trying to kill her sister was truly an enemy. Once she truly understood that Nagini turned her limbs to naturally and violently attack the Founder.

  ….I’m grateful to you for the efforts you made to raise us ssu….but we weren’t born like this to die for your whims ssu…..
