He has come up to the surface at times, but even at those times he continued to sleep. Several hundred years ago, he finally declared that he would continue to sleep until the end of the World.”
A dragon like that was able to become a dragon-king…..? I don’t know how they determine things at all. But I did understand that he is hard to visit even if you wanted to. If he’s at the depth of the ocean, then there is no way to meet him. “The base of the magic-circle is completed. Now everyone, stand at the location given.”
Being urged by Sensei, all of us stood on top of the points which have an unfamiliar symbol on them. Apparently the symbol below all of us represents the marks of the Two Heavenly Dragons and the Dragon-Kings. When Sensei confirms that we are standing in the points given, he uses the small magic-circle in his hand and starts to proceed to do the last input. FLASH
The shallow light runs through the magic-circle and the place I’m standing on glows in red, and the one Vali is at glows in white. The one Sensei is standing on glows in gold, the one Saji is standing on glows in black, and the one old-man Tannin is standing on glows in purple. [Each of them reflects the colour of each dragon.] Ddraig explains it to me. [They aren’t here right now but blue represents Tiamat, and the green represents Yu-long.] Hee. The truth is I don’t even get it even if you tell me about the colours. Then the magic-circle was activated. But there isn’t any response, and we stood there for several minutes. Will the consciousness of Mido-whatever his name is actually come? I became suspicious about this, but a projection of something starts to appear. The projection starts to form a shape above us…. I just dropped my jaw open because the vision keeps on expanding. When I looked, Saji had the same reaction as me…..
And………. What appears in front of us is a gigantic monster which seems like it fills the whole space. H…Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!! Uwaa, this dragon is bigger than Great Red-san! He appears to be a huge dragon. Though its head is dragon-like the old-man, it seems like it has it’s lo~ng body in a coil. So it’s a dragon which has a long skinny torso. Oh yeah, I did hear that there are western type dragons like Ddraig and the old-man and also that there are eastern type dragons which are long and skinny. Maybe he realised I was in shock, so the old-man explains. “This guy has the biggest body out of all dragons. It must have five or six times the mass of Great-Red.”
Th…..th….then it’s size is five or six hundred meters…….? It surpasses the category of a monster! I was in shock and I hear a very loud weird noise. [………………..GUGOGOGOGOGOGOOOOOOOOON……………………………..]
……Is this snoring? Is this Dragon-san sleeping…….? “Like I thought, he’s sleeping. Hey, wake up, Midgardsormr.”
When old-man Tannin calls out to him, the gigantic monster opens its eyes slowly. [………This is a nostalgic pulse of a dragon. Fuaaaaaaah…….] A single loud sigh. Wow, what a huge mouth! It’s so big that it can swallow the old-man easily! [Oh, its Tannin~. It’s been a while.] He has a very laid-back talking manner. Midgard……sormr……was his name, right? He then looks around us. […..Even Ddraig and Albion are here. …….Also Fafnir……and Vritra….? Is it the end of the World?] “No, it isn’t. We came here today because there are things we want to ask you so we summoned your consciousness to this place.”
Old-man Tannin says that, but……
[………….GU….GUGOGOGOGOGN……….] Midgardsormr resumed snoring once again. This guy is useless! This dragon sleeps during a discussion! “Don’t sleep! Geez, you and Yu-long never fixed your lazy attitude so I can’t stand it!”
Old-man gets mad. Midgardsormr opens its big eyes once again. […..You are always angry Tannin…… So what is this thing you want to ask me about?] “I want to ask you about your brother and father.”
Old-man says. “……His brother and father? You are going to ask him that? Didn’t we come here to ask him about the countermeasure against Loki and Fenrir?”
I asked about the doubt I had to Sensei. “To begin with, Midgardsormr is a dragon created by Loki. Even though it had enormous power, due to its gigantic body and his lazy attitude, even the Norse Gods didn’t know how they can use him so they ordered him to sleep in the depth of the ocean. They told him to do something at least when the end of the World was to come.”
“S-So that’s why he is called the “Sleeping Dragon”……. He really is indeed a huge sleeping dragon.”
Midgardsormr answers the old-man’s question. [So its about ‘Wanwan’ and ‘Daddy’. Okay~. Daddy and Wanwan are beings I don’t care about anyway….. Ah, but Tannin. Tell me one thing.] “What is it?”
[Aren’t Ddraig and Albion going to fight?] He looked at me and Vali with its huge eyes. “No, they aren’t. This time they are planning to defeat Loki and Fenrir by joining forces.”
It seemed like Midgardsormr smiled at old-man’s answer. [Hee, interesting….. I was wondering about it because both of them are standing together without fighting.] After saying that, he answered his question. [Wanwan is more troublesome than Daddy. You would die most of the times if you were bitten by his fangs. But he has a weakness. The magic-chain Gleipnir created by the Dwarves can capture him. You can seal his movement with that.] Wanwan, huh. Well, from the point of view from this dragon it would be a little doggy indeed. “We have already checked that. But from the reports from the North, the Gleipnir didn’t work. That’s why I thought about getting another method from you.”
Hmm. I can’t keep up with their conversation. Well, it would be okay if other guys smarter than me can understand it. […..Hmm, maybe Daddy enhanced Wanwan. If that’s the case then ask the Dark-Elves living in the certain land of the Norse World. If I remember, their elder knows a technique to power-up the magic residing within the Dwarves' items. I will transmit the location of the place where the elder is living to the Sacred Gears of Ddraig and Albion.] Sensei points at Vali. “Send the information to Hakuryuukou. This one has an unfortunate brain so we are having a hard time.”
I’m sorry! For being an idiot! “But Dwarves and Elves really do exist, huh.”
I spoke what came to my mind. That’s because they are beings I only know from fantasies and movies. Well, if I say that, then it won’t be weird for them to exist if angels and devils exist as well. “The majority of them hid themselves in the other world due to the major change in the human world. Small groups of them still live in a secret area of the human world though.”
Vali receives the information and then speaks. “-I understood their locations. Azazel, activate the world map using the holographic vision.”
When Sensei opens his mobile phone and uses it, the holographic image of the world map appears from the screen. Vali pointed at a certain point. Sensei sends the information of it to his comrades right away.
