Volume 5 Chapter 1: Prologue

A round table standing in complete darkness.

Kokaku was going through the scrolls piled up on it.

「Most of the information on the hero Axel seems to be suppressed, there is hardly anything known, huh.」

No matter how much we search, nothing comes up.

The title of Invisible Dragon Knight truly suits him well.

Because only his achievements are published, without a word about the man himself.

But as he went through the document, something came up.

It was mentioned in a certain record.

The record stated that during a festival of gods, a human tried to attack one of the gods that descended to earth, and thus, was demoted to a lower-ranking job.

「What if he was demoted for doing the same… Did he try to attack the gods?…… And that is not even during the period of the festival of gods but in the divine realm……」

It’s only one possibility.

Mere speculation.

And yet Kokaku couldn’t help but be excited.

「Aah, I want to meet him… I want to meet Dragon Knight Axel. If he was able to fulfill our longstanding desire… If he has『Experience』we need to make our long-cherished desire come true……!」

And then, Kokaku stood up.

「To bring the fight to the gods, we should take a look at that Dragon Knight Axel… 」

A certain room, currently completely shrouded in darkness.

In the middle of that windowless room stood a faintly glowing throne.

On it was sitting on it a human-like silhouette, that looked as if it was made out of the black mist, wearing a mask that concealed its face.

「That is all you have for today?」

The figure on the throne asked the dark-skinned young man with long ears, who was on one knee.

And the young man immediately replied with a nod.

「Yes. Kokaku-sama. Yes, for both ancient beasts and humans’ movements. That is all we could find for now.」

The young man replied, to which the figure on the throne nodded.

「Good. Dismissed then. You can go.」
