Chapter 175: The Chaos Dragon vs. The Human Emperor
Celes and Louise lied to Leon, telling him they would assist Heaven Library Guild in their preparations to protect their lands and overall alliance. They even stressed that they wouldn't leave Madevin Metropolis. That was so Leon wouldn't be worried about them.
Of course, in reality, these two were ready to go with other forces to fight against The Human Emperor. Their intel said that The Chaos Dragon had already descended onto The Human Emperor's forces.
Louise and Celes had a simple goal — save Celes' sworn sisters.
The rest was up to powerful existences.
Thus, these two left with that simple goal in mind.
On the other hand, Leon spent a few days working on his business and tending to Athena's wounds. He believed that his other beloveds wouldn't hate him for sacrificing all his attention to Athena. And his time in the smithy was his usual escape from reality, which Louise and Celes should be well aware of as of now.
But even with his heart shrouded in coldness and hatred toward people that had killed his child, Leon's eyes weren't clouded enough to not see that something was off.
Athena also suspected that Louise and Celes went far away from Madevin Metropolis.
"I can't contract them through the system… They're really far away!" Leon clenched his hands, squeezing his brain to see his beloveds' intent.
After a few thoughts, Leon bit his lips and came to a terrifying conclusion. "They're gone off to The Human Emperor's side… Celes had once seen through Irene Crownedge and knows that her sisters are by her side. Now that this man came out and is on a rampage, she knows that they don't have too much time."
Athena nodded. "If it's that, they won't directly face The Human Emperor. At worst, they will face his queen."
Leon agreed with her, slightly appeased.
He then prepared all the required stuff to set on a new adventure — he packed a few potions and donned himself much higher quality equipment adequate to his level(150), and left the house with Athena standing on his side.
"It's good… I'll let out all feelings on their forces and save Celes' sisters and Alexandra."

[Kill them! Don't let those inferior dragons look at you this way!]
Alexandra was located in the underground prison, with many other dragons chained to the walls. Their limbs lifted by those sealing chains, everyone was simply glowering at Alexandra.
That was because she was a dragon that had become a contracted spirit and belonged to a human.
By The Chaos Dragon's standards, she was the traitor.
Alexandra was on a different level than those dragons, though. She could easily free herself from these chains and kill them all to drink their blood and feed on their flesh. However, the dragon maid didn't want to do it, much to Alexandra Aquarisen's soul ordering her to go for it.
She could kill those dragons, then what?
She wouldn't be able to leave the underground prison, and The Black Dragon lurked in the shadows.
But then, Alexandra heard tremors happening up above them. It sounded as though a few giants dropped from the skies at once, causing terror to the scene. That piqued the interests of both Alexandra.
It was surely a chance to leave that prison and return to freedom, right?
'I must wait for a perfect chance… Dragons will flood this room soon… I should be able to use their confusion to leave this cell.' Alexandra, though, patiently waiting.

"Those divine bastards aren't omnipotent." Louise crossed her arms and looked at the two men floating high in the skies.
One of them had dragon wings, while the other wore emperor's clothes. And while only the former looked grand, as his clothes fluttered alongside the wind, both of them were rulers of their respective forces.
The Human Emperor and The Chaos Dragon began their battle.
Celes glanced at them and coldly whispered. "May they kill each other."
While these two existences broke the rules of the world, their forces teemed the surroundings. Since those were lands of The Human Emperor, the demonic lands, his forces were well aware of all the layout and used various tricks to assault dragons.
Right now, only dragons and Roger Dreams' forces revealed themselves.
The Peace Alliance sneaked in the shadows, with the less important members planning to emaciate both rulers' forces.
Louise and Celes, though surely couldn't be called less significant, were here as helpers, so their task was exactly the same. Lizanna had also left them and went to her brother's side, hoping to liberate her continent and kingdom from the traitors' hands.
Thus, these two were alone.
"What about Alexandra?" Louise asked.
Celes thought for a second. "If what Liz said is true, then she's deemed a traitor. They will hunt her… If she doesn't find a room to escape and we will find her, we might help her. That depends if we'll be able to actually help her."
Alexandra didn't have the same status as theirs, so Celes could see herself giving up on her. Of course, Leon was kind of the same, though he was quite into her new and hard-working self.
Louise nodded.
The vampiress and the adorable fox started their search. On their way to the succubi's side, they killed many demons and drank a lot of potions to refill their mana and health.
It wasn't hard to find succubi.
Those belonged to Irene Crownedge. She used her people to assist her king and spread them evenly around him and the strongest dragons.
"I see them…" Celes was dazed, lifting her eyes to look at her sworn sisters.
Though it was only three of them, they were clearly forced to assist in the whole onslaught. Their races became a mix of vampire and succubus, which was also quite a devastating combination.
Celes was glad to see them alive.
"How do we approach them?" Louise clicked her tongue, noticing those women were close to Irene Crownedge.
They were like her loyal guards.
"We wait." Celes sternly said.
She had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they appeared to be.
