I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 31 - Returning to Earth as the Only Magical Creature!

In the Holy Cathedral of the Slaine Theocracy...

The building had a large domed roof constructed from stained glass. Countless semi-transparent shards were arranged in intricate patterns, refracting the sun’s rays in a kaleidoscope of colors. Red, green, lilac, and a plethora of other hues combined to create mesmerizing fractals of light and shadow. It created a solemn and yet sanctified atmosphere that could command reverence from all.

Within the building stood numerous statues, each asserting by its presence a historical tale of heroes and saints. Carefully arrayed candles that burned in silence granted the interior an enchanting serenity, and within the center of the church stood four statues, appearing to watch over all things mortal. Beneath each of these statues were countless candles.

In the middle stood a kind-faced old man closing his eyes and muttering prayers.

Suddenly, the candle under the statue of one of the Gods went out, and he let out a sigh.

“So, Abir has fallen…… And without taking the next step too...”

His soft words carried sadness. He lowered his head even more and prayed faster.

“No. I am always watching the Silver Moon Kingdom. The day she dares step out of it, We will personally make sure she dies. She cannot have slipped by me. I guarantee it.”

It was a female voice filled with endless holiness. She spoke slowly, and her soft tone seemed capable of melting even the most unrepentant criminal into a puddle of contrition.

“If not the queen, then who else could strike thus?” the old man asked, puzzled.

“A dragon. Specifically, a demigod primordial dragon.”

“A demigod...primordial dragon?”, he asked, unable to keep his voice low.

“Indeed. They should all be extinct, but this one, in particular, has been wandering, lost in the starry sky for millennia. I do not know precisely how it arrived on the continent, but it must be related to Carandia.”

The saintly voice rose in volume before continuing in a demonic and bloodthirsty tone, “....... What? Do you need us to go probe the dragon? Tch tch tch, a demigod primordial dragon is a truly inconceivable existence. I am also just as curious.”

The old man quickly collected himself after hearing the explanation. He did not seem bothered by the figure’s strange outburst. He muttered to himself and shook his hea
