OVERLORD- CH-60. Interlude

"I found something interesting." Lilith said. She had been using [Vision Sharing] and [Audio Sharing] to observe the Moon Shadow team.

Although she didn't think that Jasmine would reveal what Aya had said to her based on her personality, Aya had still set up a shadow demon to monitor them just in case.

Lilith connected to the Shadow Demon's perspective and listened to their conversation in its entirety.

"The royal capital? Interesting. By the way, that thing might come in handy." The succubus girl took advantage of the fact that Aya was temporarily unable to resist, stroking her slightly trembling belly and thighs with her fingers, while happily making plans.

The man walked out of the conference room, feeling extremely exhausted, while inside the conference room, discussions on other topics should have already begun.

"Don't those old people feel tired? Sometimes I really doubt it."

Fortunately, his mission had been completed. Of course, it was only his mission in that conference room that had come to an end. Next, he still had to work as the first rank of the Black Codex, that is, the captain.

This included tasks such as resurrecting dead companions, selecting temporary personnel to fill vacancies, and other responsibilities like training and experiments.

In addition to work, there was also private life, which involved going on blind dates—blind dates based on the premise of marrying multiple people.

Currently, there were only three people in the Silian Theocracy who had awakened to become gods, so the top leaders had subtly ordered him to increase production to serve the country.

"Even if it's just for today, I really hope I can rest for a while."

This was probably just wishful thinking.

As he thought this, he heard a "crackling" sound and was immediately drawn to it.

Although he hadn't seen it yet, he already knew who made the sound. In the Silian National Salvation Army, not many people were allowed to enter here. As soon as he thought about who wasn't in the meeting room, he could roughly guess the answer.

As expected, a girl was standing against the wall.

Her long hair was q guite unique, with different colors on the left and right sides. One side was bright silver, while the other side was a dark black that seemed to swallow everything. Her eyes also differed in color on the left and right.

Next to the girl, there was a War Scythe, resembling a cross spear, leaning against the wall.

Although the girl looked young, appearing to be less than fifteen years old, her actual age was quite different from her appearance. Ever since he became the captain of the Black Codex— the first rank, the girl's appearance had remained unchanged.

He shifted his gaze to the girl's ears hidden under her hair—and then stopped himself from doing so.

Because he knew the girl hated people looking at her ears.

The girl's soft lips curved into a subtle smile, as though she was reading his mind.

The special rank of the Black Codex was "Absolute Death and Life." This was the girl's identity. As the strongest in the Black Codex, she was responsible for protecting the sanctuary of the Silian Theocracy, which also housed the five divine equipments.

The sound came from the toy the girl was playing with. In Silan Saves the Nation, this toy was called the Rubik's Cube, and it was said to have been passed down by the six gods. The girl's voice came amidst the crackling sound.

"It's okay to turn one side, but it's very difficult to turn both sides well."

It wasn't difficult for him, but he didn't know whether he should answer honestly. The girl didn't seem to want an answer, and continued to speak without caring:

"What happened? Even the head priest and his men are here."

"The report should have been delivered to you."

"I didn't see it." The girl answered succinctly.

"Because it's faster to ask someone who knows. Was the prediction of 'Astrology Thousand Miles' wrong? The attack to subdue the Catastrophe Dragon Lord... something must have happened, right?"

The girl said, but her eyes were focused on the Rubik's Cube.

"The Dragon King of Destruction was killed."

The very brief answer made the girl stop moving entirely.

"By whom?"

"I don't know. We don't even know how many people were involved. We only saw a pillar of light that shot all the way to the sky. It was probably the effect of some kind of item or high-level magic-sealing crystal."

"Then what?"

"Then there was a sudden and violent energy fluctuation from the sealed place of the Dragon King of Destruction. It was speculated that the Dragon King of Destruction was fighting with someone."

The analysis team of the Theocracy deduced that the Dragon King of Destruction had been seriously injured by the attack of the beam of light and was then killed in the subsequent battle.

"Is that so? Then you haven't done anything?" The girl's harsh words made him smile bitterly.

"Two men were killed while trying to reconnoitre that battle."

"Who was killed in the battle?"

There was no trace of sadness for the death of her comrades in her tone. It was as if she was asking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Bumaercha, who tried to investigate, and Seidran, who was protecting him, were probably discovered by the one fighting the Destroyer Dragon King and were killed."

Of course, this was just speculation, and it was also possible that they were simply caught up in the aftermath of the wide-area attack and died.

If so, that's really foolish.

"It's the [Divine Territory Binding Chains] and the [Giant Shield Wall]. Recently, not only did the Earth Priestess Princess die in a mysterious explosion, but now even the Black Codex has lost two generals... It's really a double whammy." Juesijieming smiled.

"Fortunately, Lord Kerry and [The Allure of the Country] were both safe. There was nothing else we could do at the time, so we retreated."

"What about that one? The one who killed the Dragon King of Destruction."

"It has disappeared. After investigating the sealed area, nothing was left."

There was no need to describe how terrifying the Destruction Dragon King was. It was the ultimate monster, and the strong man who was able to kill it—could be a small team, or there was also the terrifying possibility that it was done by just one strong individual.

But even if there were multiple beings that could defeat and destroy the Dragon King, they would still be powerful beings that must be guarded against, and a national-level defense system should be built first.

"Could it be another Dragon Lord? Let me think—one who can restrain the Destruction Dragon Lord, the Vampire Dragon Lord or the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord?"

The girl's lips curved even more, revealing an obvious smile. But if the blood-stained expression could be called a smile.

"Those two dragons have perished, right?"

"Those two are immortal dragon kings. It is still unknown whether they are truly extinct."

The girl finally raised her head and looked straight at him. There was a light in her eyes of different colors, a light that was curiosity, joy, and the urge to fight.

"How strong do you think the man who killed the Dragon King of Destruction was?"

This question assumes that the killer of the Destroyer Dragon King is a single person, if you think along this line.

"It's hard to say. After all, we don't really know how strong the Destruction Dragon King is."

"According to the average level of the Dragon King." The girl said. "Do you think the person who killed the Dragon King is as strong as me?"
