Episode 218
“The sky is…”
The sky of the empire was always blue.
The sky of the empire, like a clear and transparent lake, was at this moment.
dyed gray
gray. Those on the battlefield thought in unison.
It is only now that I realize what the renegade gray that God meant.
In the midst of a war between dragons and demons that suddenly appeared in the empire, a riot broke out due to a quarrel. The sky, which had turned gray enough to stop the noise of the battlefield in an instant, approached them greatly.
And the incident happened gradually when everyone was stunned.
softly.
“Uh uh! uh!!”
“My my hand!! my hand!”
“Quaaaaagh!!”
screams pouring in simultaneously.
Unknown screams rained down on the battlefield.
“Save me! help me!!”
“What the hell is going on! The bodies of comrades are turning to ashes!! What the hell is this!!”
“You, your body too!”
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
Endless ashes fall from the gray sky.
The ashes that fell like snowflakes were beautiful at first glance, but those who touched them even once turned their bodies into ashes and disappeared.
“take! Avoid the ashes!! If you touch that powder, you will die!”
“How am I supposed to avoid the countless falling ashes!!”
“Wrap your body with cloth or whatever!”
“Ouch! Aaaaaagh! go away!!”
While trying to shake off the ashes with a spear, he harmed his comrades and fell. Thanks to that, when it touches the ashes, it turns to powder and disappears from the face.
The ashes spread out on the battlefield were truly fear itself to the Imperial Army.
It was like a disaster.
How could I avoid the countless falling ashes?
Even if you cover yourself with a cloth or take refuge inside a building, the ash turns everything into ashes.
A gray calamity that came upon the empire.
It was about to turn everything in the empire to ashes.
[What is this crazy thing!]
This, of course, was not very different from dragons and depravity.
[Cut off the touching part! Or we die too. Fools!]
[Looks like countless blades vibrate from the inside and cut cells. What are all these terrifying skills?]
[What do you know, damn it. gray child. They attacked us all at once!]
Gelarin slashed all the ash with the strings hanging from her fingertips, flicked the harp, and drove them away with the sound ball.
Other corruptions were similar.
I was busy cutting out and regenerating the part I touched.
This is because the dismemberment of the body was not such a big deal to the non-human Fallen.
But unlike the fall.
A dragon only had a body.
(Use your wings!)
There were many dragons that flew needlessly and got more injured. There were many cases where the wings were partially turned to ashes, and holes were pierced, and they fell from the sky as they were.
A dragon falling from the sky
(What kind of ugliness are we, who are called the masters of the sky?)
Most of the time, we were relieving great anger by blowing ashes away with our wings. However, many of them have already turned to ashes and collapsed.
Corruption, of course, even dragons.
No, most of all living things in this empire were turned to ashes.
“It sounds like a disaster.”
Who can say that this is a phenomenon created by a single human being?
Isn’t this a miracle and disaster of God?
(Cool.)
Patter. iron puck.
The black dragon, Benishouf, was covered in blood with scars all over his body.
The glossy black scales were scratched here and there and had holes in them.
The blood dripping from his mouth and eyes soaked the floor.
The black dragon’s scales were hard enough to withstand a direct hit from Colius’ sword.
A sword that could break the black dragon’s scales, which are said to be the hardest among many dragons.
(As expected, a human being watched by God.)
His life was intact, but he was seriously injured to the extent that he had to focus only on treatment for a while.
Benishouf looked at the battlefield while maintaining a solemn posture while dripping thick blood.
(You got hit by a human again.)
It was the first time since the saintess a thousand years ago.
No, she hadn’t been so messed up in one blow.
That’s what he showed.
(Cruel.)
Why is God wary of him?
Benishouf seemed to know in his heart.
It was just to get rid of the turmoil, but now it seems that it is not enough.
Gray is a disaster that descended upon the earth.
Like ash falling like snow.
The gray color that changes the sky is the disaster itself guaranteed by God.
It is an evil that must be eliminated.
(Elder!)
(…the impurity called gray must be excluded. His power is distorting the balance!! Bahamut hear me!)
Koooooong.
The other dragon, who supported the staggering Benishouf, opened its eyes at him.
(Take care of the body of the elder first! If you fall, the young dragons will lose their spirit!)
(The old man can’t even die in peace. Keugh. It is still gray.)
The dark red dragon called Bahamut answered with red eyes.
(I know. The ashes will fall again at any time.)
So, originally, it is right to retreat.
This battlefield is absolutely unfavorable to dragons.
(We are at a disadvantage compared to others because of our large bodies. So take the form of a fighting dragon.)
(…! Are you serious?)
A fighting dragon.
Are you serious about showing it?
Bahamut’s pupils trembled.
(Compared to humans and other things, the only thing we have is dragon power and a strong body. We use it only when we deny the power to fully use it. Even if we look like humans, we are dragons. Our roots are not different, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. .)
The last years the dragon suffered.
It failed to maintain the dignity it should have as a top predator a thousand years ago.
I fell into many wrong ways.
I couldn’t control my emotions and made the same emotional choices as humans.
As a result, the dragon ceased to be a dragon.
wanted power. more strength.
He recognized the humans he had called mere bugs as equal enemies and developed the strength to kill them.
That is the form of the two dragons.
(Fight. Prove it by stomping on it…! Who we are! Show the humans! The dragon’s eyes scan all over the continent, and its teeth can chew and swallow anything…!!) I wanted to hide it and didn’t want to admit it,
but Even so, I had to fight and win.
Despite the humiliation of recalling the mistakes of the past, the dragon had to win and win.
before they too.
Because they were called gods.
(Bahamut. Forgive my compatriots who called you a traitor in the past. It is only today that I realize that your assertion is the way to bring victory to the dragon.) (…I will not forget today. So please do not die.
)
(Go, the blood of the light dragon.)
Bahamut’s huge body contracted.
The density of bones and muscles is compressed.
small but stronger
Fire!
The newly unfolded dragon’s wings are small.
However, in Benisiouf’s eyes, there was faith that that small form would open up a new sky.
(It has a human-like body, but the horns on its head belong to a dragon, and its wings, claws, and scales also belong to a dragon.) A
change in shape does not mean that a dragon ceases to be a dragon.
The dragon changes from today.
(It’s all your fault. You broke the dragon’s last pride.)
“…Have you said everything?”
(Thank you for waiting.)
He took a step forward.
He raised his sword with his own respect for the dragon that had existed for a long time.
(Can I ask you one question?)
“Tell me.”
(A human with a sword, not Stella. I want to know your name.)
“…”
When asked for his name, he hesitated with a smile on his lips.
(Doesn’t mean you don’t even want to tell the old dragon’s name… Yes, that’s good too. But it won’t be easy. No one has yet been able to kill a dragon that has been with human history.) And the dragon that was called God that
day ‘s head fell.
* * *
Quaang!
Ravien, who came through the gates of the Great Hall, shouted as he saw the Emperor of the Empire firmly seated on the throne.
“Your Majesty must avoid it!”
Even though the empire was in turmoil, the emperor’s war was peaceful as usual.
Most of the spears of the empire are gathered, so the momentum alone is enough to make you kneel.
“noisy. My land is here, so where can I escape?”
“but…!”
“They suddenly appeared and said something… Even with that power, you’re not thinking about fighting, are you just thinking about running away?”
Unexpectedly cold eyes.
However, Princess Ravien bit her lip and remonstrated.
“But the situation is not good! This bastard is trying to destroy the empire!”
“You must have met a gray one. I guess what he said to you.”
“That is…”
“Tell me.”
“It was a difficult thing to say.”
I could still hear his voice clearly asking if I wanted to become emperor.
“You must have asked me to make you emperor.”
“How could that be…”
“Even though he is gray, it is a sword. In a way, it’s natural to come out here. The enemy of the sword can be said to be the spear.”
The emperor smiled mischievously.
“The empire I raised is not weak.”
Enough to overcome with just one sword.
The spear of the Empire is not dull.
“Then, hurry up and lead the army…”
“Wait.”
“The system is in chaos, so what the hell are you waiting for…”
“You know that too.”
“no way.”
It was then.
thud. thud. thud!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
“Kyaaak!”
Suddenly, the wall of the Great War exploded, and a huge dragon’s head came crashing into it.
I was even surprised for a moment.
It was soon realized that the bloodied dragon was already dead.
Looking at the scales that suggest that it was a gigantic dragon during its lifetime and the horns with the years intact, we can tell that it is the head of an ancient dragon.
The moment the princess gripped the spear reflexively tried to unleash a spear.
tall.
His body stopped hard as if his body had turned to stone due to the powerful life force that weighed down the battlefield.
‘Nonsense.’
I’ve never felt anyone in my life who exudes such an enormous life force.
How many births and deaths must one go through to be able to exude this kind of killing power?
I had never felt such a sensation before meeting a gwichang.
“no way.”
Soon, a smile grew on the emperor’s lips as he saw a man slowly walking down from the top of the dragon’s head.
Is there anyone else in the world who walks so confidently in the Great War of the Empire? Since sitting on the throne, the emperor greeted him with an expression of excitement the world had never seen before.
“Wait. A gray renegade.”
Swoop.
His eyes, which encompassed Daejeon, flashed as he looked at the emperor.
“Three years ago. Carpe was seriously injured when the royal palace was destroyed by the Empire’s surprise attack.”
blah blah blah.
As he took a step, a long crack continued from the collapsed wall.
The walls of the Great Hall were cracking at how strong the momentum was.
“I suffered a wound that could not be healed, and Carpe lost a great man who would never be seen again.”
thud.
A gray aura radiates from his body.
Remnants bloomed.
“Did you come to avenge that day?”
The emperor asked with a womanly face.
A man who turned the empire’s capital into hell by attracting hundreds of corruptions and hundreds of dragons.
The man who cut off the head of an ancient dragon and stood alone in front of the supreme ruler of the empire answered.
“no.”
Callius, who was covered in ash, raised his head.
“It is to warn you.”
Shuk.
In an instant, his new form disappeared.
At the same time, the imperial spears by the emperor’s side also moved together.
Five steps to the front of the emperor.
Leaving that place behind, Colius slashed all the spears up to a hundred and took a step forward.
The moment he took a step again, a giant spear flew in, and a lightning-like thunder spear also disturbed his vision.
Soon, a deafening cry was heard, and the demons of the demons rushed in from all directions.
The moment when all the demons were ripped apart with the predatory sword that absorbed brain energy.
A spear squeezed through the space and ripped through Colius’ side.
At the same time, several sharp spears pierce his throat at once.
The moment you become a skewer and try to run away.
“stop!”
The emperor’s order stops the spear.
“Excellent.”
Already at the tip of his breathless sword.
The emperor’s neck was touching.
A drop of red blood dripped from the emperor’s neck as the sword tip touched it.
Carpe’s sword reached the neck of the empire.
