The legend of the evil dragon and six great spirits

The wooden door was gently pushed open.

The room was dark. Even though it was night, the light wasn't turned on.

Tsukasa glanced inside.

The elf girl was curling up on the bed at the moment, hugging herself in a posture that showed her insecurity.

Her eyes were dim, her delicate face was haggard, and she hadn't taken care of herself. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were tangled as she curled up.

"Lefiya, I beg you, at least you should eat something."

Her roommate begged her with a voice that was almost crying.

However, Lefiya didn't move as if she didn't hear those words at all. Her body was like a puppet whose string was cut.

Tsukasa closed the door again.

"She's always like that after she comes back."

Tiona was in distress as she stared into Lefiya's room.

"It doesn't matter who. It's totally useless. Ais, Riveria, Alicia, and the others have all come, but Lefiya has no intention of waking up."

Dionysus Familia was wiped out before her eyes.

Filvis tragically died in front of her.

However, she couldn't do anything back then, and she could only be dragged away by Riveria like a doll, watching Filvis being devoured by the green flesh with nothing left.

This caused a massive blow to Lefiya's psychology, and her spirit was close to collapsing.

Simply put, she was in a state of denial.

"Tsukasa, isn't it better for you to say something?"

Tiona suggested.

"No, Ais's words are useless. What's the use of my words?"

Tsukasa shook his head and rejected the proposal, but then he changed the topic of conversation.

"However, I have other ways to wake her up, but we'll have to wait until everything is investigated."

As long as everything was cleared up, Lefiya's condition would improve naturally.

However, on the premise, everything was cleared up.

Now, the key was only one point.

Who is Enyo?

"That's good!"

Tiona was instantly overjoyed.

"By the way, Tsukasa, why don't you change your mission tomorrow? You should be tired of walking out every day, right? Why don't you go to the library with me to find information about the Evil Dragon on the mural? Tione will take your place to become Loki's bodyguard."

In other words, date!

Tiona wanted to have a date with Tsukasa!

Tiona was secretly happy, but when she thought he would agree.

"Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow."

Tsukasa thought of something after he recalled Tiona's words.

"As for Loki's bodyguard, Ais will be in charge of that."

"Why...?"

Tiona lowered her head in frustration.

The next day, Tsukasa came to the mansion, which was located in the southwest area of Orario.

"Still, it's big wherever I see it."

The area of the mansion was no smaller than Twilling Manor, which made him think the price of his help was meager and he felt he should charge more later.

"Kugayama-san? Why are you here?"

It was Bell who came to open the gate.

When Bell saw Tsukasa, he was surprised, but his expression changed. Suddenly he became nervous, and at the same time, the hand behind his back frantically gestured to his companions.

"I have something to ask you. Don't you let me in and sit down? Anyway, I helped you win this big house."

Tsukasa said with a smile.

This was the base of the Hestia Familia. It used to be the stronghold of the Apollo Familia, but after the war between the two Familias, this house was taken by the Hestia Familia.

"Uh... please come in."

Bell's face was unnatural.

Tsukasa had said so, and Bell wasn't good at rejecting. After all, they were able to win all of this because of Tsukasa.

Bell brought Tsukasa to the hall, looking left and right for a while like a thief who was afraid of being caught.

"Are you nervous?"

"No, no, no, no!"

Bell waved his hands again and again. He hesitated for a while before quickly changing the topic of conversation.

"Oh, right! Kugayama-san has said that he has something to ask me. If there's something that I can do to help, I will do it."

"Oh, it's about the story of the evil dragon and six people.."

Tsukasa didn't care about Bell's nervousness before he took out a piece of white paper, which showed the drawing of the mural he had copied before.

Bell looked at the drawing for a while and seemed to realize something after he heard Tsukasa's story.

Tsukasa felt Bell's smell was similar to Ikki and Tooru, so he just had a try mentality, wondering whether Bell knew anything.

As expected, Bell knew this story. "Ah, are you talking about the story of Nidhogg and the six great spirits?"

Bell was instantly excited.

Tsukasa felt that this guy might be the protagonist of this world.

"Tell me in detail."

"OK!"

Bell was energetic and told him the story about the Nidhogg and the six great spirits. It seemed he enjoyed telling a story to someone.

According to him, it was a story he heard from his grandfather when he was a child.

In ancient times, thousands of years before the Leviathan, the Behemoth, and the Black Dragon emerged from the dungeon. A terrifying evil dragon ravaged the land.

The name of that evil dragon was Nidhogg.

It was a monster that first came out from the dungeon.

Humans in ancient times were helpless, and they couldn't do anything.

When we think about a story, people would usually think about which great hero would emerge during such a desperate time before the hero was able to kill the evil dragon.

However, there were no heroes.

In ancient times thousands of years ago, the gods hadn't visited the lower realm, and not even a spirit existed, and there was no way for a human to fight against the evil dragon.

However, the six great spirits appeared.

The gods saw the tragic situation in the lower realm, and the benevolent gods sent six great spirits to the earth, making them the first spirits in the world.

The six great spirits followed the order of the gods and came to the lower realm. Each of them possessed different elemental powers, and when they were together, they were able to make a gigantic magic circle, which was enough to defeat the Evil Dragon.

The name of this magic circle was the "Gate of Heaven."

"And then?"

Tsukasa was fascinated and couldn't help but ask.

"There's no then."

Bell shook his head, and his expression was full of regret.

"The evil dragon disappears, and the six great spirits also disappear. The surrounding land, mountains, lakes, and everything else also disappear by a huge beam of light that penetrates the sky and earth."

After that, the gods realized that the spirits could help people in the lower realm, so they sent spirits to the lower realms to help human beings, and the six spirits and the Nidhogg, which appeared in the past, had become a forgotten tale.
