It Was an Unknown Dragon

I see.

Another message from G.o.d.

He had said the same thing last time when giving me the shortsword of Kes.h.i.+s.

So, you were told to come here?

No. I was told to help the first person I met in this church.

Help?

Yes. Is there anything that I can do to help you?

Something he can do, huh?

I had come to this church in order to find information on the Black Dragon of Destruction and the Universal Purification Device.

This church didnt seem like it would have many doc.u.mentsbut Father Shtyle used to be very important within the church.

So he might know a lot about myths.

There are some things that Id like to know.

Father Shtyle heard this and nodded.

Do you know anything about the Black Dragon of Destruction?

I do.

He answered very quietly.

Is it well known then?

Not at all. In fact, hardly anyone knows about it. After all, information about it was suppressed.

Is there a reason that it had to be suppressed?

Yes. I dont know how you heard the namebut there are various reasons that led to this. It is now forbidden to even say its name. Only the people of the highest ranks within the church know of it Perhaps 10 people at most.

Soit was a great secret.

It was a good thing I had asked Father Shtyle.

Other priests would not have been able to tell me anything.

So, where did I go from here?

I wasnt a part of the church, so I doubted he would tell me much.

As I wondered about thisFather Shtyle opened his mouth.

However, I will tell you about it.

You will?

G.o.d instructed me to help the first person that I met here. G.o.ds commands are always to be my priority.

Thank you.

I suppose disobeying G.o.d was like disobeying the church.

It was all very convenient for me.

The Black Dragon of Destruction was defeated by the Emissary within the myth. But before it appears, there will be 7 great changes in the world But we only know about a few of those changes.

Huh, he said all of that without any hesitation.

I was thankfulbut it was strange.

Well, there was nothing to do but listen for now.

Which changes do you know of?

We currently know of 2. The first is the Black Monster. As the name implies, a black monster will appear. The other is the Blue Moon. The moon is going to turn blue in the sky.

So They havent quite happened yet.

A blue moon. That made me think about the Blue Moon of Salvation.

However, the actual moon hadnt turned blue yet. And this powerful black monster hadnt appeared either.

So for now We didnt have to worry about the dragon.

That meant that I should focus on the Universal Purification Device.

I didnt know if the church would know anything about it. But it was worth asking.

There is one more thing I want to ask you Have you heard of the Universal Purification Device?

Yes. That is the device that the ancient church used to defeat the evil dragon Well, that is what the myth says.

That was an interesting way to put it.

It was as if he was saying the myth was wrong.

Yes. It is true that the Universal Purification device was used to fight the dragon. Howeverthings differ after that.

After that?

According to the popular myth, the evil dragon is defeated by the device. However, I believe that the truth is Is that the device is completely useless against dragons.

I see.

The Blue Dragon of Delight had been very powerful.

I didnt know how strong the mythical dragon wasbut you would need an incredible device to deal some actual damage to it.

So, how did they do it then?

What the Universal Purification Device actually did, was kill half of the population with its shock waves. And most of the people that did survive were killed by the dragon. And that is when the Emissary appeared and finally slew the dragon.

I see.

So the Universal Purification Device had done nothing but make things worse for them.
