Billy Saber’s third daughter, Jill, was a very sweet girl. Of course, the same went for his second and eldest daughters.

However, his eldest daughter, whom he had taught since she was little, said:

“—I won’t marry a musclehead like my father. I want to marry a handsome guy.”

His second daughter, who had trained as a sniper, was no better.

“—You’re a hindrance to my training.”

Incidentally, his eldest son was training hard, but he treated his father like air.

Compared to them, Jill, who ran towards him, asking, ‘How can I punch like my father!?’ was akin to an angel. Never would he ever forget the emotional turbulence he felt when she said, ‘I’m going to marry someone as strong as my father!’

—This was the main cause of Billy’s concerns.

Jill, who wasn’t as strong as his eldest daughter, nor as thoughtful as his second daughter, and above all, had an unrivaled appetite, might be misled by an unscrupulous fellow.

Billy’s hunch was correct, in a way.

Otherwise, why would she declare that she would marry the Dragon Emperor, Hades Theos Rave?

“How long have you been seeing Jill?”

His fist clashed against the hand guard of the Heavenly Sword, scattering magical sparks.

His movements were precise.

The reason he could unleash his powerful magic without wasting it was because of his ceaseless training and his thorough understanding over how to utilize his muscles.

His strength was impeccable.

“Since the birthday party of the Crown Prince, Geraldo.”

How respectful of him, maintaining a formal tone. What a wise man—no, polite…

“Hoo! Then how on earth did you deceive her after that—right, with your cooking.”

“Luckily, I’m good at it. Didn’t you enjoy it too?”

“Yes, it was incredible! Oh, how my daughter has grown!”

He never expected to see his little girl, who had only ever thought about eating, to wear an apron and follow the Dragon Emperor’s instructions for cooking.

…Although, he was also made to spectate the Dragon Emperor spoon-feeding his daughter while saying, “Aah.”

When he saw that, he inadvertently crushed the spoon he was holding.

His daughter didn’t even mind her surroundings, so they must’ve been doing it on a daily basis.

“—It was definitely worth having my daughter train alone in Rave!”

“I’m glad my father-in-law said so!”

“Who the hell is your father-in-law!? I object to this marriage!”

Dodging his fist of furry, the Dragon Emperor crouched and closed in on him.

“Then you leave me no option—! I’ll make the Saber family acknowledge me and give me their daughter—!”

The Dragon Emperor hadn’t even broken a sweat, he had a composed look on his face.

…A handsome face that any girl would fall in love with.

Frankly, I couldn’t stand you from the start.

‘A man has to be muscular!’ Jill said that, too, but was that a lie?

“Die, Count Saber.”

Those mysterious eyes of gold, which suddenly appeared, made him shudder.

“Don’t underestimate me, brat!”

With a hand in his pocket, Billy twisted Hades’ arm, went around behind him, and slammed a kick into his back. He overtook the Dragon Emperor as he crashed towards the ground, driving a fist filled with all his magical power into his stomach.

Just as his fist was about to connect with Hades’ abdomen, someone seized his wrist. Panicked, he tried to pull back, but it wouldn’t budge.

The Dragon Emperor looked up, grinning.

“I’ll praise you for making me give my all, even if just for a moment.”

Billy was swung around by his wrist and thrown towards the ground.

Landing on his feet, he steadied himself, but just as he did, the Dragon Emperor planted his sole on his face. His body fell as he rolled across the ground.

—So this is the Dragon Emperor.

If he were defeated by such a man, he’d have no regrets. The awe-inspiring power of a God sent chills down his spine.

“My Lord!”

“No! Stay back! —Argh!”

The Dragon Emperor stomped on his chest this time, as if telling him to be quiet.

In an attempt to shake him off, Billy tried to grab for his ankle, to no avail.

With just a single slash of the Heavenly Sword, the surrounding trees were mowed down and his reinforcements were blown away.

As the magical gust swirled by, the young man’s face became visible.

As the man stared at Billy, his eyes widened, as if the realization that he were no more than an insect being crushed underfoot had dawned on him.

Both the cruelty and mercy of a God coexisted equally.

“Farewell, Count Saber.”

In the starless sky, the tip of the Heavenly Sword gleamed, brighter than a first-magnitude star, brimming with earth-shattering, merciless, silvery magic. Yet, at the Dragon Emperor’s feet was an abyss that one shouldn’t peer into.

—I can’t let him take my daughter there.

He screamed while coughing blood.

“—I won’t hand my daughter to you!”

The Heavenly Sword, which was supposed to swing straight down, stopped right in front of Billy.
