Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

In the mountains of a continent. There is a large volcano, and a plume of smoke is always rising from its crater. Inside the crater, a black dragon was resting its wings.

In the scorching heat of the volcano, with magma accumulating in places, the black dragon remained motionless with its eyes closed. At first glance, the black dragon appears to be dead, but upon closer inspection, one can see its body slowly moving up and down.

This black dragon was Royce. He came here after the battle with Rinos.

Never before had he been so far off on his own strategy. Not only did he fail to kidnap Linos, the king of Agartha, but his sister Chario was captured as well. Her whereabouts remain unknown, but it is easy to imagine that she is probably with Rinos or the Dragon King.

"The Dragon King: ......"

Involuntarily he mutters in a small voice. It is difficult to fight and win against Rinos, the Dragon King, and the spirits ...... who are far more powerful than these two. But he had a plan. How to execute it...... he had been thinking about it all through this scorching heat.

This time there was no room for failure. It had to be done perfectly.

Thinking of this, he can't help but let out a smile. If this works, we will be able to defeat the Dragon King and Rinos. Then this world will be at his command.

......Well, first, let's get ready.

Lois' eyes open and an eerie light shines in them. He slowly spreads his wings and floats soundlessly into the sky.

Lois' eyes opened and an eerie light flashed in his eyes.

"What the hell were you doing!"

It was my eldest brother, Tsune, who was angry with me. It was not long before Lois heard the report that Chario had been captured by the Dragon King.

"I never thought that Linos, King of Agartha, and the Dragon King would join forces. ......"

"......"

"And you felt it, brother. "And you, my brother, would have felt the presence of something far greater than the Dragon King."

What the hell was that?

A genie.

"Spirits?　I have never heard of a spirit with such a huge presence."

"Perhaps it's Shenlong-sama."

"No way. ......"

"If the other party is the Dragon King, it is not inconceivable."

"......"

"What now, brother?"

What do you mean, what do we do?

The Dragon Kings will destroy us if we do nothing. Do we sit and wait for death?

"That way of talking implies that you have a plan."

"Yes, I do. If we brothers unite against him we can defeat the Dragon King, King Linos of Agartha. And we can take back Chario.

"......What do you mean by 'united against'? What are you going to do?"

Royce's expression changes to a sly smile. Seeing this, Tsune had a bad feeling for a moment, but he composed himself and listened to his brother's words.

Then, my brother, could you invite the other brothers to join us?

"What?"

"I told you earlier. We brothers must fight as one. Then we must all plan together.

"......"

"Brother, in your gut, Lois, you must gather them. That's what you're thinking, isn't it?　I know exactly what you are thinking. But think about it, do you think the other brothers will listen to me?　You are the only one who can convince Raal's brothers."

The tsuune listened silently to Royce's words, and then slowly spread his wings and soared soundlessly into the sky. As he watched, Royce once again flashed a sly smile.

The first time the two were together, the two were in the same room, and the two were in the same place.

A few hours later, four black dragons gathered at Royce's place. The eldest brother, Tune, the second brother, Raal, and Royce's younger brothers, Tacha and Shoath, were waiting in front of him.

"I heard from Tune's brother that Chario has been kidnapped by the Dragon King. We must go quickly to help him. We must go now! Shoath!"

"That's right. You don't need to do this. I am enough here on my own.

Royce smiles wryly as he listens to his brothers' conversation.

"You're sweet, you know that?"

"What?"

"The Dragon King. And even a man who can match him. Can you defeat the Dragon King by yourself?　The Dragon King alone is a handful, but there is another. And this one is a human, but of extraordinary strength. I know this because I fought him firsthand. I know this because my arm was cut off.

His brothers are absolutely stunned when they hear that Royce's arm has been cut off. Royce is the most powerful of his brothers when it comes to cunning and defense. It was unthinkable that they could slice through his scales and cut off his arm.

"Chario, the most quick-witted of our brothers, has been captured. That alone is enough to tell us how skilled our enemies are."

"......"

Royce slowly opens his mouth to everyone's exclamation.

"I have a plan. I have a plan to get Chario back and prevent our brothers from being attacked by the Dragon King.

"......Let's hear it."

"First, everyone here will be humanized."

"Humanized?"

Tsune asks with a doubtful look on his face. Royce gives his brother a sly smile.

"Oh, yeah. We're going to turn into people and get off this island."

What are you going to do when you leave?

We're going somewhere.

A place?

You'll understand if you follow me.

Wait.

It was the second brother, Raal, who interrupted. He was the most cautious and thoughtful of the brothers. He was the one that Royce had the hardest time with.

Raal was the one who stood out from the rest of the siblings. When he spoke, he did not have much to say, leaving most of the talking to his brothers and Lois. However, when he did speak up, he did so with a firm voice. He was a man of few words and seldom opened his mouth, but his words had a weight of solidity.

He often sat still in the forest thinking. Royce had no idea what he was thinking. Royce was more than a little uncomfortable with this easygoing attitude of his brother, and even disliked him.

However, the other brothers never complained about Raal. Seeing this attitude, Royce thought that all we had to do was to be firm. Compared to his eldest brother, Tune, who was the most solid one, he felt something unapproachable about Raal, who seemed extremely stunned.

On the other hand, this brother and Chario got along well. She liked this brother and had contact with him from time to time, even though he only talked to her. Ra'al did not treat her brother ill, and on the surface they seemed to be a close brother and sister.

"I don't feel any sign of Shario, but where is he?"

I can't tell you that.

Why?

"Because if you tell them, they will head there immediately."

How can you be so sure?

Because it's a place they don't expect to be.

"Not Agartha?"

"No."

What?

Raal tries to say something. But Lois interrupts him with a grulling squeal.

"I know you think I'm suspicious of you, but I'd like you to try to fool me for once," he said. If we work together, I have no doubt that we can get Chario back. I have a pretty good idea where Chario is. Let's go there first and make sure that Chario is alive. Then you can ask me about my plan. Then you can decide whether you want to do it or not. What do you think?"

The brothers are just silent. Then Ra'al opens his mouth again.

"Why must we become human?

"We must keep the Dragon King in the dark."

"To the Dragon King."

"Yes. If we move around in this form, the Dragon King will surely notice. That's him. He must be watching the island. We must leave the island as unseen as possible to avoid his notice. If the Dragon King finds us before we leave the island, we will be destroyed.

Royce stared at his eldest brother, Tune. He exhaled slowly and turned his head around .......
