Chapter 5: The Vacant Demon Lord

The Floating Continent’s reaction to the eradication of all magical living weapons it had created since being cast down from the sky and left to rot deep underwater was, unsurprisingly, entirely by the book. Namely, it started gaining altitude, presumably aiming for a height that would put it out of human reach. The floating islands that had been the Fol Mentera Archipelago followed suit, with the whole group quickly picking up speed. They got so fast that even monsters would have been thrown off, much less humans, but since the landmass was large enough to be called a continent, its movement appeared agonizingly slow.

“Can we take its retreat to mean its arsenal is depleted?” Sol mused.

“Maybe it’s retreating to make more,” Luna said.

The trio were a significant distance from the continent and looking down at it with composure. They didn’t care how fast it was rising, because they could easily fly or teleport even higher. The sky was the domain of the dragons.

“Over another millennium? I mean...is there even a point? And for some reason, we still haven’t seen the Vacant Demon Lord’s Augoeides. Is the continent not being controlled by someone after all?”

Luna shrugged. “Aina’noa and I were simply left alone after being bound.”

She and Sol were idly racking their brains for the reason the Floating Continent was retreating, but no convincing answer was forthcoming. It had taken them less than half a day to clean up the forces that the continent had built up over a thousand years. It couldn’t have been clearer that the living weapons were worthless against them. Making more wouldn’t help.

Little Alshunna had been certain that her real body, her Augoeides, was on the Floating Continent. The fact that such a major card had yet to be brought out suggested that it really had been sidelined. That had been the case with both the All Dragon and the Elven Queen, albeit with a bit of a twist in both cases. Then again, Sol had obtained the Bound Evil Dragon only thanks to Summoning, a special power that he could only use once. There was no guarantee that the monsters’ Augoeides would all be friendly to him right off the bat.

“Just imagining facing an enemy like your Augoeides gives me the shivers.”

“I don’t even want to think about it.”

Given that, it was hard to completely write off his and Luna’s concerns. There was undeniable similarity between the All Dragon’s and Demon Lord’s current states. One was in a fragment body while the other was in a doll, but they were the same in that someone had wrested control of their Augoeides. If that someone could manipulate Alshunna’s body, they just might be able to do the same with Luna’s. In fact, it might be safer to assume as much. After all, Luna’s Augoeides was still locked up somewhere.

Not quite comprehending Sol’s and Luna’s gloomy faces, Aina’noa looked between them in puzzlement and whistled a questioning note.

“Well, there’s no point dwelling on it now.
