The True Dragon King Threat

In the southern imperial capital lies the Imperial Palace, home of the imperial family and the center of national power. In such a place, Emperor Vossler met a man whose entire body, including his face and hands, was covered in a cloak worn by magicians.

"Then, what's the truth about the news that's been spreading?"

"I can confirm that the news is true. I have seen it with my own eyes that the dense Forest which is the only access to the Demon Continent has opened. And a labyrinth appears in the middle of the forest."

The man who was standing on his knees before the emperor was employed by the Imperial Family... In other words, the magicians of the Imperial court.

"The Western or Eastern Empires don't know about this yet. So, His Imperial Majesty doesn't have to worry that they will seize this opportunity."

"Yeah, that's right. In other words this 10th Divine Equipment belongs to the Southern Empire, right?"

"Exactly."
