◈ 699. [STAGE 40] Dawn Bringer
Ground.
South from Crossroads. The end of the field.
The last resistance forces had been annihilated.
The clones summoned by Ash were unable to withstand the rushing waves of darkness and were swept away.
Ash himself also fell after being hacked to pieces several times in front of the night forged by the Night Bringer.
Jormungand died, unable to withstand the wound in which his body was split in two, and Clown Crown, who was standing next to the snake, was torn in half by the Night Bringer himself.
Parekhian, who was violently resisting, fell with his entire upper body shattered by a single punch from the Night Bringer.
Lastly, Skarian.
《Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
she her her her neck was caught in the hands of the Night Bringer and was held in the air with a jerk.
It was an eastern dragon with the strongest magic defense among the black dragon corps, but all the beautiful scales on its body broke and poured down like rain… and now it has turned into an ugly figure with only wounds and blood remaining.
《Skylian. My innocence.》
The Night Bringer asked his son in a voice filled with derision.
《Did you see what you wanted to see?》
《…Of course, father.》
Spitting out blood in front of the strong grip strangling his neck, the Skyrian lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled.
《I watched it to my heart’s content.》
《Ho… What was that?》
《Even if I tell you, you won’t understand.》
The Skyrian had a calm look, as if he was truly satisfied and had no more regrets.
《A beauty that my father, who only plots to close the world… will never discover while crouching in the night.》 《….
》
《I came to see that.》
Skyrian sneered.
《It is truly pitiful for you, Father, to not be able to feel this beauty…》
Crump!
Skarian could no longer speak.
This was because the Night Bringer used too much force to break his son’s neck.
“You came from me, so come back to me.”
The Night Bringer carelessly placed the Skarian’s limp body on his back.
The area where the two dragons’ bodies met melted black and slowly began to be absorbed into the Skyrian’s body.
The Night Bringer looked around. Even Ash, who was shouting loudly, was no longer able to stand up as he was torn apart with great care, and there was no one left to fight against him.
The world’s last resistance was so futile…
There was no reason to relax and play anymore. The Night Bringer was now ready to end everything.
《…Huh?》
It was then.
Kugugugu….
The sky suddenly trembled.
And at the same time as the Night Bringer looked up at the sky in confusion-
blah blah blah!
The veil of darkness that covered the sky was torn apart, and a gap opened up, and dazzling sunlight began to pour in through it.
《What…?!》
Night Bringer did not understand the situation for a moment.
The curtain of darkness that covered the sky was created by weaving together the darkness beneath the Lake Kingdom.
It was a terrible darkness filled with the evil and disgusting will of foreign gods.
The Night Bringer even drew upon the darkness of the hated foreign gods to achieve his goals.
The reason was simple. Because the darkness was powerful.
Unlike general darkness, the darkness scattered by foreigners beneath that lake was overflowing with malice that sought to drag all living beings into despair.
Since this world became a playground for foreigners, no mortal has overcome that darkness.
So, it was the darkness that I believed in more than the Night Bringer himself, so how could it be…
《Uuuh-?!》
The clear dawn sunlight poured down like the tip of a spear.
The Night Bringer’s gigantic body began to melt quickly under this indiscriminate sunlight.
Even before landing in Inse, he spread a curtain of darkness in the sky to deepen the night, and by combining his body with the deepened night, he gained much more transcendent power than he originally had.
This time, in order to destroy the world, they even used the magic of reverse heaven to cover day with night, turning the logic of events upside down and coming to this place.
《Don’t be funny…》
I was falling apart.
As the veil of darkness was torn apart and the dawn that should have come to the world descended… His body and his plans crumbled like the twilight before morning.
“Do you think I’m going to give up like this?”
Night Bringer glared at the sky and activated his dark magic eye.
Quaaaaa!
The veil of darkness, which had been torn apart by the evil dragon’s transcendent evil will, stretched out its tentacles and began to be sewn together.
The sunlight began to block out one by one again between the curtains of darkness that had been put up. The Night Bringer did everything he could to get his night back.
It was then.
Thump thump thump….
The sound of several legs lightly kicking the ground was heard. The Night Bringer was startled and looked down.
It was there.
No eyes, nose, ears or mouth. His other son , who had six legs and six tails…
resembled a lizard rather than a dragon.
The Night Bringer trembled and called his son’s name.
《Parekhian…!》
Black Dragon’s Claw Parekhian slowly lowered his posture. and.
Giiiiiiing-!
A sound like the sound of a mechanical engine rang out from the heart, and red energy spread throughout the cracked body.
“Don’t interfere, you bastard!”
Roared, Night Bringer unleashed a barrage of dark magic.
Quagwang! Quagwagwagwang…!
Parekhian’s whole body exploded after being hit directly by magic. The Night Bringer thought that his child had been crushed to pieces.
But no.
《…!》
When the thick smoke cleared, Parekhian was there in a different form.
When health falls below half, Parekhian goes to the next phase… revealing his ‘true form’.
This appearance was so difficult to deal with that Ash used the tactic of capturing Parekhian through mental control without going through the phase.
Geeeeee….
As the outer skin was peeled off, Parekhian was transformed into a more pointy and sleek form than before.
If before it was a lizard, now it felt like a fox wearing armor.
Giiiiiiing!
The distinctive engine sound sounded once more, and red flames bloomed all over the joints of Parekhian’s six legs.
Going to school-!
Parekhian hit the ground and ran at an incredibly fast speed.
The six tails hanging backwards also emitted red flames from the tips, speeding up like living rockets.
The fastest dragon.
Among the members of the Black Dragon Corps, in fact, the fastest among all the dragons that have ever existed in this world.
That was the Black Dragon’s Claw Parekhian, and even the Night Bringer of the world lost sight of its speed for an instant.
In no time, Parekhian arrived right in front of the Night Bringer.
But in the end, Parekian is also an entity that originated from Night Bringer.
《No matter how quick you are…》
Night Bringer’s golden eyes flashed menacingly.
《Do you think I won’t be able to catch up-?!》
‘Forged Night’ attacked.
It was an accurate aim without a single gap, and Parekhian was hit directly.
Clang…!
Parekhian exploded once more with a sound like breaking glass.
And
《…what?》
Under Parekhian’s crushed carapace, the final phase that could not have existed originally – the third appearance was revealed.
A fox-like form that has even shed its armor, becoming smaller, sleeker, and sleeker.
This appearance, which is also the first to be seen as a Night Bringer, was the result of Skarian using the second Yeouiju that he had on Parekhian.
Yeouiju is a tool that raises the status of existence.
With this, Parekhian reached the end of the flowering of talent that only existed as a possibility to force his way past his own limitations.
And Parekhian was not the only one who used Yeouiju and went beyond his own limits.
“Woo wow wow wow…!”
The illusionist that Parekhian had hidden inside his carapace – Violet trembled, wrapping her arms around Parekhian’s neck.
“It’s okay,”
Parekhian said then.
Because there was no mouth, the voice came out as if it were ringing from within the chest.
Violet’s eyes widened at the inorganic yet kind voice she heard for the first time. Parekhian spoke once more.
《Let’s go.》
“Ah, yes…!”
Going to school-!
Parekhian kicked the ground and soared like a rocket.
Parekhian climbed onto the Night Bringer’s body with lightning-like speed.
Parekhian, who changed into his third form, was so quick that even Night Bringer could not use his hands.
Parekhian, who quickly climbed up the Night Bringer’s neck and approached right in front of its head, gave a signal.
《Now is the time, Violet.》
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Even while trembling in fear in front of the world’s strongest monster, we still
exclaim “Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Violet kicked Parekhian’s back and jumped up, placing both hands on the Night Bringer’s head.
Violet was just a petty thief and a fraud, but she wanted to become great.
So Skarian gifted her his Yeouiju and used it just before this battle to raise her level.
So, her magic, which was only used to extort money from wealthy villagers at gambling houses on the outskirts,
flashed!
It has enough power to be used even on the world’s worst black dragon.
Violet’s ultimate skill [Daydream] exploded.
《…?!》
Feeling my mind being shaken for the first time in my life – the Night Bringer let out a painful roar in all directions.
Kyaaaaa-!
Dragon Lore was clawed in all directions, tearing up the atmosphere.
Dragon Lore rained down on Violet, who was falling down after using the illusion. Violet sensed her own death.
“haha.”
But why? It wasn’t as scary as I thought. Rather, I felt relieved.
Perhaps it was because he achieved a great feat… something he had never dreamed of in his life.
‘Did you see, world?’
Violet smiled brightly and closed her eyes.
‘I gave you a punch.’
A blade-like dragon lore attacked her in front of her.
Violet couldn’t avoid it.
Kakagagak…!
***
《Huh…. Huh….》
Night Bringer lowered his body and panted heavily.
His mental strength was strong. At best, he wasn’t weak enough to be affected by human magic.
But I was shaken.
I wasn’t hallucinated, but my mind was definitely shaken. The Night Bringer felt his heart rising with unprecedented excitement.
‘It’s because of the sunlight. Because the sunlight suddenly poured in…’ ‘
Blah blah blah’ –
my concentration was broken and the curtain of darkness that had covered the sky like dark clouds began to tear apart again.
More and more sunlight broke through the darkness. The darkness that was combined with the Night Bringer’s body also could not endure and began to evaporate.
When Night Bringer, who was panting heavily, raised his head…
《…?》
Suddenly, he saw the shape of a woman shimmering like a haze before his eyes.
At the end of the mythical era that no one remembers anymore.
The red-haired woman who killed herself and looked down with sad eyes.
Just like a midday dream…
– Your story ends here, Night Bringer.
The woman smiled sadly, her long red hair flowing.
– …Wait. I’ll follow soon.
《Huh?!》
The Night Bringer shook his head roughly and looked straight ahead again, and there was no trace of the woman from his memories.
Instead, in the shimmering gray haze, a wounded man wearing a black chain coat and holding a flagpole was walking.
Jump and jump.
In the battlefield that had suddenly become quiet, only the sound of the man’s footsteps could be heard.
Is it an illusion?
In the shadow of this deteriorated, diluted, and polluted descendant, the greatness of the ancestral dragon cannot be seen without a trace….
“Why are you doing this, Black Dragon?”
Her scent is so clear.
why.
Ash came up to the trembling Night Bringer and grinned with a bloody face.
“Did I dig up some painful memories?”
Instead of answering, Night Bringer roared wildly and rushed towards Ash.
With his shining golden eyes raised, Ash also rushed forward.
The decisive battle for the fate of the world was now coming to an end.
