253. Advent (1)
#253
The early morning air was heavy. A heterogeneous air current was flowing inside the broken wall. Even the clusters of stars embroidered in the sky had strange colors that were somehow different from usual.
Ronan twisted his lips. The pain in my joints didn’t feel good. It wouldn’t be surprising if something terrible happened.
But now I couldn’t afford to pay attention to such vague ominousness. The Dragon King and his minions fluttering before his eyes forcing him to focus on the current situation.
‘Why are you staying still?’
The only strange thing was that the Dragon King and his subordinates did nothing. I couldn’t figure out why the guy who had been acting like he was going to eat everyone alive just a moment ago was acting like that.
The Dragon King was just flapping his wings in the middle of the sky and his minions were circling around him like hungry crows. However he could instinctively feel that if he tried to do something foolish he would immediately attack.
Orsay lay down his injured body and closed his eyes as if trying to regain his strength. This was my first time experiencing something like this so I had no idea what to do.
First of all I felt like I needed to know how something like this happened. Ronan looked back at Asher and asked.
“Hey why is she with you? “What happened to her wounds?”
She said “In the middle of the road she suddenly joined us. “She was hit by a beam of light and suffered an injury that blew off one of his wings.”
“beam? “Are you talking about the three-headed breath?”
“Uh huh.”
Asher quickly nodded her head. He briefly described what happened after Ronan and Schlieffen jumped. Ronan narrowed his brows after hearing the news of Naransonia’s downfall.
“You attacked the Dragon King? “Isn’t this woman the right-hand man of the Three Heads?”
“I don’t know the details either. But I think it’s true that the Dragon King has become strange.”
Asher said that Naran Sonia had come to stop his master who was turning into someone like her. She said that she had about twenty dragons who followed her in the same spirit and that she and I Sonia were all killed while trying to restrain her dragon king. Struck by the rays of his own master.
“It’s completely gone.”
Ronan clicked his tongue. I had a rough guess but I didn’t know it had gotten to that point.
I didn’t think there was any need for her to ask whether Sonia’s attempt had been successful in the end. The appearance of the Dragon King losing its color like dead coral showed the hopeless situation.
Even the Demon Dragon Orsay could not defeat him. Asher who was recalling his memories of fighting the Dragon King spoke in a trembling voice.
“And the Dragon King is so strong… he’s getting stronger. Ooh we’re all going to die…”
【If you say something like that one more time I will eat you. wizard.】
“Hehehe…!”
Asher who heard Orsay’s threat shrugged his shoulders. It seemed like we became closer while fighting for one reason or another. Suddenly the Dragon King who had been silent opened his mouth.
【…I was thinking about it for a while.】
“worry?”
【About the value of your existence. I thought that if I took Navardose and his child’s henchmen hostage I would be able to gain quite an advantage from a strategic perspective.】
His third head said in a dry tone. I didn’t like the idea of treating people like fish on a chopping block. Ronan asked lifting his chin as he grabbed the hilt of his sword.
“So did you come to a conclusion?”
【okay.】
The third head nodded his head. Since he was speaking in past tense I felt like I knew what he was going to say next. Ronan and Asher Schlieffen quickly exchanged glances and took a fighting stance.
【As expected you guys seem useless.】
“I knew it would be like this damn it.”
Ronan cursed. At the same time the Dragon King’s three mouths opened. Gooooo…! A glowing lump began to coagulate inside the red-hot throat.
“I’m going to break through by cutting with my sword so stick close and follow me.”
Ronan said. He was ready and was about to hit the car ahead. Quaaaaaaaaa! Orsay’s body which was curled up like a sick man was shot towards the Dragon King.
【Do you think it will work out the way you want!】
“Orsay?!”
The group’s eyes widened. The sight of Orsay rushing forward with all four wings folded was reminiscent of a black harpoon. Unlike Naransonia Asher who was still riding on his back screamed.
“Hiyaaaaaak!”
It was an incredible speed. However it seemed like the other side was also expecting this to happen. The dragons circling around the Dragon King blocked his path and fired their breath.
【Give up!】
Breath containing fire lightning a blizzard poison and crushed rock poured towards Orsay. The range was too wide to avoid with Blink.
“B Blizzard Armor!”
Then Asher closed his eyes tightly and chanted his incantation. Sigh! Thick ice armor grew over Orsay’s body. The armor that completely covered him from head to tail had sharp thorns growing like cacti.
【That’s it. wizard.】
“Save everyone!”
Orsay laughed. He rushed towards the dragons without slowing down his speed at all. The dragons feeling an unusual threat tried to retreat but Orsay was already right in front of them.
It was the moment when the demon dragon crashed into the dragon wall! A red flower bloomed in the air with a radical bursting sound. Body parts including torn wings and leg internal organs rained down like heavy rain.
【Wow!】
【I have wings…!】
【Stop him-!!】
A desperate scream rang out. Everywhere Orsay passed crippled dragons were falling like fallen leaves. However there were too many enemies to reach the Dragon King.
“That strong fool…!”
Ronan chewed his lower lip. No matter how much it was he couldn’t handle that amount at once. Someone had to divert attention.
Ronan who was thinking deeply winked at Schlieffen. There was nothing that could be called a plan since the ritual could not be prevented anyway. If that bastard wishes anything will work out.
Schlieffen accepted Ronan’s psychotic proposal without much objection. They exchanged glances and jumped out of the Sky Tower.
Whoa! The two people were falling helplessly. Ronan turned upward curled his hand and brought it to his mouth and shouted.
“This way! “You lizards with dementia!”
【hmm?】
Several dragons lowered their gaze. Ronan drew his sword and activated his aura. Paaaa…! As the sunset light embellished the air a green dragon that was flapping its wings in place was drawn in front of his eyes.
【What is this….】
The green dragon’s eyes widened. Ronan and Schlieffen who were falling swung their swords at the same time. Each sword strike crossed the center of the dragon’s neck.
Suddenly! His hair which was long and thin compared to his body fell off at once. The blood that burst out wet the faces of the two people. One of the dragons who saw the scene shouted urgently.
【It’s there too! Catch it!】
Some of the dragons that were charging at Orsay began descending towards Ronan and Schlieffen. Orsay finally broke through the siege and clashed with the Dragon King. The roar of the two giant dragons shook Adren.
It didn’t take long for the situation to come to an end.
****
The battle with Orsay ended in less than an hour. The sky rushing toward morning had a faint glow.
The Dragon King stood over the ruined city. People’s screams and wails could be heard coming from underneath the burned and crushed building. Suddenly a human servant came staggering towards me.
“Your Majesty…! Please help me. Suddenly a ray of light fell from the sky and the city…”
He spoke of the tragedy that had befallen him while leaning on the Dragon King’s hind legs. I thought I heard a loud noise in the middle of the night but then suddenly everything disappeared. Blood was dripping down the severed leg.
“The city…ah….”
dump. The man who had been speaking collapsed on the rubble. The body which had twitched several times became limp. Chiik… the blood flowing down the slope extinguished the remaining flames.
【Keuuuuu….】
The two heads fell silent as they confirmed their man’s death. Uniquely it was an area that was not stained white.
Through this the number of people who asked for help and saw people die exceeded three figures.
【I got the power I wanted but why am I doing this?】
The third head who saw this asked a question. I wasn’t being sarcastic I was asking because I was genuinely curious.
【Adren is the kingdom of Jim. Any king in the world-】
【I will not destroy the country I rule like this!】
The two heads who had been chattering their teeth for a while burst out in anger. Attachment and Greed The crown-wearer’s pride was making him angry.
【What Jim wanted was to defeat Navardose not something like this-】
【Really something like this…!】
The breath and wide-area magic fired randomly turned Adren into hell. It was an atrocity committed by the third head which took control of the body at some point.
The third head used any means possible to achieve his goal of subduing Orsay. He clicked his tongue as if he was annoyed.
【It’s noisy. It’s just a process to achieve our goal. As soon as we clear out the remaining rats we will start a war with the Mother of Fire so stay quiet.】
Ronan and Schlieffen have not yet been captured. It was only a matter of time since his subordinates were eagerly chasing after him anyway.
Suddenly a third head raised its gaze and sneered.
【This is your limit. Demon dragon.】
【Damn….】
Orsay growled weakly. He was confined inside a huge sphere with only his head and part of his torso removed. The sphere was made up of hard materials such as vines of various plants and metal rocks.
Orsay fought really hard. He had said all he had to say as he had killed over tens of thousands of dragons in one hour. The way he roars while tearing the flesh of his compatriots is truly worthy of being called a demonic dragon.
However it was not enough to overturn the momentum of victory. The Dragon King even used a kind of brainwashing magic to treat his subordinates and the number of dragons living in Adren was much greater than Orsay expected.
Moreover after completing Nebula Clage’s ritual the Dragon King became several times stronger than before. In the end Orsay who had exhausted all his strength and crashed was sealed alive here in the middle of Adren. Orce rolled his eyes back and said to Asher.
【Run away. wizard.】
“How can I do that…! “You have to wake up!”
Asher was sitting in the area where Orsay’s neck and torso connected. Fortunately there was space left in the structure so he could escape if he wanted to. Orsay shook his head.
【It’s already too late.】
【You know very well.】
Suddenly the mouth of the third head opened wide. As the mana of the area gathered a small sun bloomed inside his throat. It was a beam attack that turned everything it touched into ashes.
【That’s the end of a loser. I will send my regards to Navardose.】
The third head said mockingly. Orsay laughed. No matter how hard he tried his body wouldn’t move.
Is this what it feels like to see an arrow flying towards your heart? The sun in my mouth was collapsing and was about to shoot out in the form of a ray of light. Asher’s eyes which had been crying widened.
“uh…?”
Suddenly the sky became brighter.
【Hmm?】
The three heads of the Dragon King raised their heads at the same time. A magic circle large enough to swallow the entire Adren covered the sky. Inside dozens of layers of concentric circles strange characters that could not be found anywhere else in the world were writhing as if they were alive.
“What is that?”
“Is this a magic activated by His Majesty?”
The survivors who were groaning in pain raised their heads. The sky beyond the magic circle was roaring as if a thunderstorm was about to pour down at any moment. A third head lifted its neck. The center of the magic circle slowly opened and something white was coming down.
【…human being?】
The legs exposed beneath the clouds were unmistakably human. However it was several times larger.
What is that? The third head’s eyes narrowed. The clouds flowing through the night sky suddenly dispersed and created a huge hole. Hahaha! A tempest that blew around the magic circle swept the entire area.
【What is happening!】
【The wind…!】
Confusion erupted from everywhere. The dragons flying around lost their balance and stumbled. The wind was so strong that more and more people were blown away and thrown into the Sky Tower.
Every time the wind roared and swung its arms the steeples rising all over the city were breaking down one by one. Passersby outside were holding on to street trees and mailboxes.
【Pfft…!】
It was a strong wind that was extremely annoying even to the Dragon King who boasted the size and weight of Mount Tai. He managed to overcome the wind and raised his head. Before I knew it the owner of the bridge was fully revealed.
【what?】
The third head’s face hardened. A white gigantic human with two pairs of wings on his back was coming down from under the magic circle.
‘I don’t feel good.’
I couldn’t figure out what that thing was doing. However one thing was certain. It seemed like something very troublesome would happen if I left it alone. The third head made an immediate decision and fired the breath it contained at the giant.
【Get out of here!】
Quaaaaaaaaa! The torrent of light that flew through the wind hit the target. A loud noise sounded as if the mountain was being torn up by its roots.
The explosion was so powerful that it completely covered the eastern sky with light. A few seconds passed and the smoke that had been covering the giant disappeared.
【What…!】
The Dragon King’s face hardened. The unidentified giant survived without a single wound. The spherical force field surrounding his body was pulsing with bizarre colors.
Perhaps the light beam was blocked there. The Dragon King embarrassed by the incomprehensible situation immediately prepared his second breath.
The giant slowly looked around at the surrounding scenery and stretched out his arms. Particles of light were gathering in his open palm.
【What is that?】
Orsay frowned. He was staring at the unidentified giant forgetting that he had been captured. Soon a long spear five times longer than his own height was held in the giant’s hands.
“Now wait a minute…what is that…”
Asher who sensed an instinctive ominous feeling was about to say something. Whoosh! The giant’s right arm disappeared in an instant. A single line of lightning stretched out in a straight line and crossed Adren.
Sigh! The long spear made of light was thrown into the middle of Sky Tower not the Dragon King or Orsay. Contrary to the spectacular production nothing special happened.
It was a car that everyone including the Dragon King and Orsay were puzzled by. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! A long spear stuck deep into the wall caused a huge explosion. A loud roar sounded like a thousand lightning strikes at the same time.
【what…!】
The Dragon King’s eyes grew so big that they seemed to pop out. The unrealistic expansion of energy not only blew away the entire exterior wall but also caused severe damage to the framework. Kugugugu… The high tower in the sky that looked like it would last until the end of the world slowly began to tilt.
“Ha the sky tower is falling!”
Shock erupted from everywhere. The thick smoke was engulfing the moon and stars.
『Dualu carries out the sentence.』
A deep low voice echoed in the sky above Adren like a lava flowing cave. Particles of light were gathering again giving a new spear to the giant’s hand.
『Everything goes according to His will.』
