Chaos Dragon: Sekiryuu Sen'eki (ケイオスドラゴン 赤竜戦役)

Ibuki!

Why didn't you call me earlier?

Wait, Eykha!

That's General Gakusho!

Eykha!

Val, again!

Is she really dead?

So who're these dudes that're lying around?

It seems they were headed to Origami Volcano.

What happened?

Subterfuge!

We found one of the village residents.

A Risen...did all of this...

Many villagers died escaping to our fort saying that they were attacked by Risen.

That's why we came to investigate.

Please tell me...did the Risen really rise up to your village?

It's not only our village...

--You don't mean... -Someone killed Kouran's general...

She took a bite to the neck...

General...?

Could it be? Lady Gakusho..?

Then she revived...

As a Risen?

The general revived everyone, and then they all died too!

It's exactly like what happened in my dream!

Fellows, I had an idea. What if...

those killed by a Risen become a Chupacabra?

So, where could Lass Gakusho and her rogue squadron of Risen be?

The name of our country is Nile Kamul

It's a country.

Then in a day a the nation, Korean, attacked suddenly

we lost 33% of the landmass.

The eastern friends Dnatia

Only care about their own base settlements, distancing themselves

The nation of Nil Kaml, In both imperial hand

was cut up like the French flag.

The so-called patron saint of the Red Dragon, nation, bailed on us, and then there were zombies.

The Year 3015

Our country is said to suffer!

Are you daijobu?

Is that the Korean general?

What happened!?

Are you okay, Ibuki?

Hmm?

Huh, if they are undead, it seems you can can't stop them.

We are surely doomed.

Everyone, I suggest that we retreat for now.

-Gakusho! -Ibuki!

Ibuki, it seems you took a liking to Gakusho, despite getting to know her only recently.

Gakusho is a girl?

Well, you see...

She's a Risen now.

I'm not sure if gender still applies to the undead.

That means that the only thing we can do for xer now is to make sure she rests in peace in pieces.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

We need to execute her and leave it at that!

I do recall this flavor...

It's pretty salty, similar to that of a dragon.

A Red Dragon...

... authors note: this probably means something...

Don't worry, Lou.

Risen wounded by me will never revive.

After all, whatever residual souls remain of them are contained within me.

Yes, my lord...

That wound on her neck proves that Gakusho was killed by someone.

If her head is removed from her body, she is dead.

Not "if," but "What was able to remove the head from somebody as skilled as Gakusho?"

Red Dragon...

Listen up, puppet!

Gakusho was....

Someone who could have become my friend.

Thus, she can be taken as an offering.

That's a pretty illogical jump, but I'll let it slide this time.

Do you seek power, Imperial?

I want to use your dragonflame to incinerate the person who killed Gakusho!

Are you going to kill Gakusho again to kill the person who killed her!?

It is only justified to kill the killer of she who was killed by the killer!

Oh...? Quite an interesting conundrum he came up with.

Is the dragon's power really that loopholey?

The Risen are connected to Red Dragon.

If I were a betting filly, I would bet that Red Dragon knows that you were the one who killed Gakusho.

That wager's worth at least 20 chips.

But I would lose the meams to please my Lord if I were incinerated.

My flames will reach Amy, no matter where she is.

Neat. Accept the equivalence!

At this distance, I can kill him using my Bobobobo bobbo ki quan...

There's no telling what could happen, after all...

How unfortunate, Child of the Deal...

Lady Eureka.

Report on the spelunking.

It seems as if one of them, the Kouran gal...

...is stalking the spelunking members, with intent to kill...

Spelunking...!? What's going on!? Where is she!?

Looks like you were too inebriated to sense his presence.

I am sorry to have arrived so late, Lord Byron.

Hiel...?

Yes, it is I, Hiel.

Agito has placed me under your indentured servitude once more.

Gakusho...

How dare she try to take our Child of the Deal's life by using the truce as a mummer's farce?

You idiot!

W-what are you saying?

Gakusho...

Gakusho was...

...a compatriot.

Nonsense!

Please fight for your rights, Lord Ibuki.

Our citizens would misunderstand if they saw you kneading bread with your head down

over the corpse of one from Kouran.

Hien, you can't be friends with Ibuki.

Friends?

W-w-we're not friends!

Risen: These heathen are blasphemous warriors looking to destroy all the church has established by dragon's decree, I believe. According to legend, Risen appear in Nile Kamul on a 872-day cycle based off of ancient Korean cicadian cycles.

In Dnatia // Fort Roseweisee //

Excuse me for summoning you all here.

Sorry, but this tree fort houses a lot of government secrets,

so we can't let the rebellious army or Korean see its insides.

Do you have something to hide?

Lady Lou Chun Wah?

Yes?

By any happenstance, did you meet one of my subordiantes?

One of them has been out for lunch for days now.

I heard that there is an instrument used in Dnatia that allows communication

with someone from afar, similar to a telecommunication glyph.

He didn't respond....

I hate it when boys don't respond to my communication glyphs.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything.

Gakusho and her unit weren't the only Risen?

There were many villages scattered around the leg of Origami Volcano.

They were attacked by Risen.

and those attacked in turn became Risen themselves.

It's a positive feedback cycle! So, where did it begin?

According to the rumors of the villagers,

the first Risen to appear wore the rebellious army's suits.

Are you saying this rumor was actually reality?

Wait.

Were they from the first expedition...?

Yes, I heard that a unit from the rebellious army

headed to Origami Volcano about ten years ago.

Everyone rose as Risen..?

Spill out the facts, Ka Grava!

If that's true, that means that the Risen are those who were reanimated by Red Dragon.

So you think my friend's message about leaving something at Origami Volcano is sketchy?

Even so, we have to go to Origami Volcano...

One moment. I must inform you,

the Black Knight Dragon's vice senior executive leader, Simon, is on his way.

Simon!?

Oh?

So, that...

Err, who is he again?

He's the vice senior executive of the Black Dragon Knights.

He's third in popularity polls among the Black Dragon Knights.

Ah, and what was my rank again?
