Holding the Dragon Son hostage to command the Dragon Mom...
You really come up with some crazy ideas.
But Faris had to admit, she was tempted by the suggestion Hope had proposed.
A fatal, massive crisis had appeared in her hometown, and Faris had no choice but to work for the suddenly arrived Moon God Dragon in exchange for her saving her home.
In truth, Faris was also uncertain; what if the Moon God Dragon went back on her word, or was simply using her?
But to save her home which was on the brink of destruction, she still bet on her last Hope.
And now, Hope had shown her another path.
Feeling Faris's burning gaze on him, Kurnugi immediately stood up, "I am very strong, don't even think about using me to threaten Mother."
Hearing this, Faris hesitated.
Indeed, how weak could the Moon God Dragon's son really be...
Just then, Hope's instigating voice came again: "Friendly tip, Kurnugi is completely unable to beat the Guild Master of the Dragon Devourer Guild~"
Swish! Faris's eyes lit up.
She dared to replace the White Mage, so naturally, she had some strength of her own. She had also dealt with that crude and overbearing Guild Master uncle from the Dragon Devourer Guild.
Neither side could do anything to the other.
Faris's magic was called 'White-Out Power', which had the ability to regulate the magic power of magical creatures, seize control of their magic, and control the target.
To put it simply, this magic was like a remote control that could affect a large number of targets.
That was how she controlled the White Magic Cult.
It was precisely because of 'White-Out Power' that the young Faris had the magic power to contend with Jorg Leissen, the Dragon Devourer Guild Master.
If Sword Saint Dragon Kurnugi couldn't beat Jorg Leissen, wouldn't that mean he couldn't beat her either?
Holding the Dragon Son hostage to command the Dragon Mom starts today!
Kurnugi: You're just picking on me because I'm a small dragon, right... Just wait until I find Mother, I'll tell on you all...
Wisps of white magic power surged from Faris's body, but just as she was about to act, an even more powerful magic power erupted like a mountain-shaking tsunami.
It was the pressure actively released by Melkobia.
Faris immediately fell to the ground. She had almost forgotten that she was in the Water God Dragon's palace. How could Melkobia, a fellow Five Dragon God, watch her attack the Moon God Dragon's son?
Seeing that Faris had settled down, Melkobia let Karamiru help her up and find a place to sit.
He really is a kindhearted dragon.
"How did you know she was related to Selene?"
Melkobia looked at Hope helplessly. He didn't actually care about the Sword Saint Dragon's safety; there wasn't much friendship between the Five Dragon Gods to begin with.
Hope shrugged and told everyone the information he had obtained through mind-reading on Faris just now.
Only then did everyone realize that Hope's constant instigation for Faris and Kurnugi to fight was purely for fun, to satisfy his twisted sense of humor.
This guy is getting more and more obnoxious...
After the antics, it was time for serious business.
Hope dropped his laziness, pulled an alarm clock out of his Requip Space, wound it up, and then slammed it heavily onto the table.
"Faris, if you don't provide valuable information before the alarm goes off, don't blame me for throwing you to the Water God Dragon as food."
Melkobia, who had never eaten a human:...
"Ah—"
Faris, who was already under massive mental pressure, was so frightened by Hope that she immediately burst into tears.
"Crying? Crying counts as time too~" Hope pressed closer step by step like an evil villain.
And then... he was sanctioned by Erza.
A dull thud rang out; it sounded like a good head.
Erza withdrew her slightly numb palm and looked at Hope, who was clutching his head and grimacing in pain. "Stop faking it. Your skin is so thick that even if I broke my hand, it wouldn't hurt you."
"Hehe..."
Hope immediately stopped faking, pulled Erza's hand over to massage it, and said to Faris: "I was just joking. Honestly confess everything between you and the Moon God Dragon, and I promise I won't do anything to you."
Faris soon stopped sobbing. "But if the Moon God Dragon finds out I betrayed her plan... my home will..."
"Relax, our Water God Dragon Lord here loves his people like his own children and hates evil. He will definitely help you."
Melkobia's mouth twitched slightly at being flattered by Hope. Although his relationship with the Moon God Dragon was average, it didn't mean they were enemies.
Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death one day for instigating like this...
Oh right, this kid is the strongest one, so never mind.
Melkobia hadn't expected the day he would be riding someone's coattails. Understanding Hope's meaning, he looked at Faris. "I approve of coexistence with humans. If Moon God Dragon Selene really attacks your home, someone will take care of her."
Of course, this "someone" referred to Hope.
Faris, who didn't know Hope's strength, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In her view, only a Dragon God could deal with a Dragon God. It was for the best if her home could receive the Water God Dragon's protection.
Immediately, Faris poured out the plan the Moon God Dragon had instructed her to complete.
Faris's home was a world named "Erientia," a parallel world to "Aslant" and "Edolas."
In stark contrast to "Edolas," which had run out of magic, "Erientia" was in a crisis of having too much magic. The world was so filled with massive amounts of magic that it was like a volcano about to erupt.
Ordinary people couldn't feel it, but for Mages, especially the Priestess clan who had shouldered the responsibility of eliminating Erientia's excess magic for generations, they could very clearly feel that their world was rapidly heading toward destruction.
Two years ago, Moon God Dragon Selene found this generation's Priestess, Faris, and asked her to use the Priestess's magic, 'White-Out Power', to help her eliminate the other four of the Five Dragon Gods.
Although she spoke of a request, Selene's actions told Faris that she was threatening her.
If Faris didn't comply, Selene would personally destroy "Erientia" without waiting for the day it would be blown apart by magic.
Faris, clearly sensing the Moon God Dragon's power, did not dare to refuse.
And Selene, after wielding the big stick, also gave Faris a sweet carrot, promising that after eliminating the four dragons, she would restore Erientia's magic to normal.
Thus, carrying a promise she didn't know could be fulfilled, Faris seized the body of an Exceed and used the other's special 'Aera' magic to travel through space to the continent of Giltina in the world of Aslant.
After taking over the position of the White Mage, Faris spent over a year accumulating a certain amount of power, and finally, she could begin to implement the Moon God Dragon's plan.
To control the Wood Dragon God with 'White-Out Power' and deal with the Gold, Water, and Fire Dragon Gods.
However, just as the operation began, Faris unexpectedly discovered that something was wrong with the Water God Dragon. So, after communicating with the Moon God Dragon, she temporarily changed the plan, intending to take this opportunity to "White-Out" Melkobia first.
