250. Clash (3)
#250
【This arrogant guy-】
【Isn’t it easy to fall off!】
The Dragon King shouted. Orsay, who was deep in his arms, was still biting the left side of his neck. There was no trace of his dignity in his movements, which were more reminiscent of a ferocious dog than a dragon.
The scales were so hard that the teeth could not reach the flesh, but it was still quite a hassle. It was easy to shake it off by blowing out its breath, but the wings and limbs were tangled together, so the conditions were not ideal.
【Fall down!】
At that time, Orsay raised his left arm. The black hand turned red as if it had been heated by fire. Kwasik! The hand flew in a short arc and struck the Dragon King’s chest.
【Wow!】
I tried to defend myself, but I was one step too late. The nail that penetrated exactly into the gap between the scales caused internal injuries. Once again, blood poured out from the Dragon King’s three mouths.
The massive body that seemed to never be shaken began to tilt. He retreated to the edge of the summit. Soon Asher, who was riding on Orsay’s back, chanted a spell.
“D, Deep Frozen!”
A bluish conglomerate of mana shot out from his fingertips. Pajik! The chilly mass hit exactly where Orsay’s fingernails had dug into. The Dragon King, who sensed something strange, let out a roar.
【You little thing over there. To Jim-】
【What have you done!】
“Hey, hey!”
Asher was frightened and grabbed Orsay’s spine. At that moment, huge ice thorns began to erupt from all over the Dragon King’s body. The sight of ice growing rapidly was reminiscent of weeds sprouting through the paving stones on the side of the road.
【Ugh…?!】
The Dragon King’s face hardened. His body was getting heavier quickly. The cold that had seeped through the wound on his neck was spreading throughout his body.
Six eyes were fixed on Asher. I couldn’t believe it. Could it be that the magic manifested by that small human worked on him? The Dragon King was in confusion.
【Get away!】
Seizing the opportunity, Orsay spread his wings and pushed him away. bang! The Dragon King, who was precariously stepping on the edge, was pushed back. He lost his balance for a moment and his feet went off the edge of the tower.
【this···!】
【Good job. Goes!】
The Dragon King began to fall. Orsay laughed heartily, gathering energy. In an instant, his black body transformed into a human.
Sigh! Orsay, now a man in black, put his hand into his chest. Asher lost his grip and let out his scream.
“Hyaaaaaaa! “Aaaah!”
Asher was screaming with his feet pressed against Orsay’s side. He did not take care of himself as tenderly as Ronan or Schlieffen. When he was in his true form, Asher’s shoes made of ice were his only lifeline.
Sigh! Then Orsay pulled out the hand that had been placed on his chest. In his red-stained right hand, he held a spiral-shaped long spear.
It was originally a secret weapon created to defeat Navarre. Orsay, who had made a runaround, leapt off the top of the tower. He aimed the spear blade at the Dragon King’s chest and began to dive.
【I will pierce it through like this and let you reveal Navardose’s whereabouts!】
cried Orsay. The spiral-shaped long spear was blinking, absorbing its unique black energy and mana from the surroundings.
The Dragon King, sensing an instinctive sense of foreboding, frowned. I don’t know what it was made of, but it didn’t seem like it should fit there.
【···cheeky.】
The third head, who couldn’t see it, sighed. He took control of his body for a moment and spread the heat accumulated in the dragon heart throughout his body. Kwajangchang! All of the ice that was restricting movement shattered and collapsed.
“Wow, you can’t believe I’m solving that!”
Asher was astonished. The Dragon King’s hot blood melted even the cold that was flowing through his body in an instant. Paaaaang-! At the same time, a pair of folded wings unfolded as if exploding.
【Ugh!】
The wings, covered with golden scales, were so huge that they could not be captured at a glance. Quaaaang! Orsay was thrown back by the wind pressure and crashed into the outer wall of the Sky Tower.
The Dragon King shook off the ice and flapped his wings. Usually, large birds soar using the power of the wind and the terrain, but the Lord of Adren did not need such trivial help. His body, which rose with a strong wind, reached the sky of the Sky Tower with just one flap.
【Hehehe… The lord of miscellaneous dragons is getting angry.】
Orsay looked up and giggled happily. She was crying as Asher barely escaped being turned into a rat. Once again a dark shadow climbed over his body. Orsay, who instantly returned to his original form, roared and took flight.
【Kaaaa!!】
The air battle has begun. The two giant dragons climbed beyond the Sky Tower and rose above the clouds. First, Azida Haka, who had the upper hand in altitude, unleashed his breath. Quaaaaa! Three rays of light fell on Orsay’s head. As he attempted an evasive maneuver by circling around the tower, the beam of light followed his afterimage.
“Keeeeeek!”
“Your Majesty!”
It was definitely a fearsome attack, but there was one problem: the breath’s range was too long. The dragons that came to help the king but got caught were falling. The Dragon King’s breath, strengthened by the power of the stars, even erased the scales of his compatriots without a trace.
【your majesty!】
Suddenly a familiar voice rang out. Asher turned her head in the direction of the sound and raised her eyebrows. A dragon that I had seen many times before was approaching this way.
“Me, Naransonia?”
The dragon, whose entire body was covered in silver scales, was as beautiful as a work of art carved out of moonlight. He must have been the dragon that attacked him and his friends.
I thought my heart was broken after losing to Ronan, but wasn’t that the case? She dodged the rays of light by performing aerobatics that took her over Orsay. Naransonia arrived in an instant and stood in the way between Orsay and the Dragon King.
【Get out of the way, you steel whore. If you dare to stop me…!】
Orsay growled fiercely at the unexpected intervention. It seemed like he was going to tear Naransonia to death at any moment. Red eyes were burning like embers.
But she ignored Orsay and turned to the Dragon King. As she spread her wings wide, dozens of steel spikes shot towards the Dragon King.
【Forgive my disloyalty!】
Kaga River! However, none of the thorns were able to pierce the dragon king’s scales and bounced off. The Dragon King’s eyes widened as he was suddenly struck down.
【Naransonia, this is now-】
【What are you doing?】
I was more embarrassed than angry. Among the numerous subjects, Naransonia was a loyal subject of special significance.
How could she stand on the side of that demon dragon and attack him? The anger creeping up clouded her eyes. Sonia followed her words.
【Your Majesty, please open your eyes! The secret arts of the evil people are eating away at Your Majesty’s body!】
【···what?】
The Dragon King paused. Asher, who belatedly looked at him, sucked in a breath. His upper body, which originally sparkled golden light, was turning pale white.
It seemed as if the newly sprouted neck was taking root. As if trying to take control of the body. The third head growled.
【It’s nonsense. If you plan on betraying me, I will kill you together.】
【for a moment-】
【wait···】
The other two heads were about to say something. The third head opened its mouth arbitrarily and spewed out a beam of light. Quaaaaa! The sky was brightly colored. A white light that obliterates anything it touches hits Naransonia.
****
“It’s just as busy over there.”
Ronan glanced upward and shook his head. The thick layer of clouds roared as if filled with lightning. My son-in-law, who had suddenly become bright as if struck by lightning, was once again covered in darkness.
About ten minutes had passed since I was separated from Orsay. The roars of giant dragons were echoing sporadically in the sky.
I don’t know what or how they were fighting, but if the aftermath of the battle was enough to shake the Sky Tower, it seemed like everything was said. He just hoped that the Dragon King’s breath, which occasionally tore through the clouds, would not fall only on his head.
“hmm.”
Schlieffen nodded. Their bodies were stained red with fresh blood. One of the believers, who hesitated and retreated, muttered in disbelief.
“Oh, this damn… How on earth can I ask for God’s protection…!”
He was covering his stab wound with his palm. Red intestines were flowing through the cracks of his fingers.
The smell of blood was thick. The top of Sky Tower was covered with the corpses of Nebula Clazie. Of the sixteen bodies, two were bishops and three were Lycopos.
Instead of focusing on defense like always, they rushed in and ended up in blood. The star’s protection, which boasted of invincible defense, was torn like a piece of paper in front of Ronan’s sword attack.
Schlieffen’s storm sword penetrated where the defense shield disappeared and cut into their bodies. Ronan, who turned his sword around, spoke as if admonishing.
“The thought of relying on such trapping techniques makes me sad. “Do you remember the last day you trained?”
“Damn it, what kind of trick have you pulled?”
At that time, a man who was staggering due to excessive bleeding ran towards me screaming. His footwork was a mess, and the hand holding his sword was trembling.
“You idiot.”
It was just pathetic to see something like that at the level of a branch manager. Suddenly, the elf Brigia she had met in the Baidian Mountains flashed through her mind. Looking back, that little guy was really useful.
Ronan sighed and ran forward. It was the moment when the new types of two people who overlapped for a while fell apart. Push-! The man’s body, broken into seven pieces, collapsed on the floor.
“Heeoeook…”
“next.”
Shock erupted from everywhere. Ronan slowly looked around. The believers who made eye contact hesitated and backed away. The previous threatening spirit was nowhere to be seen in their white-faced faces.
“Come on, you cowards. Are your balls so shriveled that you can’t even think of fighting?”
The believers were gritting their teeth in humiliation, but were unable to come forward. If we had achieved this level of victory, it seemed like we could start slowly. Ronan, aiming at them with the tip of his sword, opened his mouth.
“good. Then I’ll give you one last chance to live. “Tell me how to prevent the first star from falling.”
“Yes, how did you do that…!”
When the believers heard that it was the first star, their eyes grew as if they were about to pop out. Of course, Ronan had no reason to respond, so he slowly walked forward with his sword raised.
It seemed like the ritual was already over, but there might still be a way to stop it. It was a time when we had to bet on even vague hopes.
Jeez. Schlieffen and every step he took, Nebula Clazier’s followers took a step back. In the end, as they retreated to the edge, their faces showed despair. An old man’s voice came from behind Ronan.
“What on earth is going on?”
It was an unfamiliar yet eerie voice. For a moment, goosebumps ran all over my body. Ronan turned his head reflexively and his face became as stiff as a stone statue.
An old man, one head taller than he was, was standing in front of him with his back turned. The beard that fell down to his chest looked as if it could have been wrapped around his forehead.
“What the fuck…”
Ronan’s eyes widened. She didn’t even notice when she got this far. Above his shoulders, sparkling mana was soaring like a beacon. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the most powerful, excluding Cain and Abel.
“Hmm, that’s a good sword.”
Ronan was about to say something. Suddenly the old man touched his beard and muttered. In his left hand, he held a sword that I had seen many times before. The long sword with the Grancia emblem engraved on it undoubtedly belonged to Schlieffen.
“how···!”
Schlieffen’s brows narrowed. The sword that had been held in his hand until now was not visible. Suddenly, an eerie sensation passed through Ronan’s back.
“Damn it!”
Ronan, who instinctively sensed a crisis, hurriedly stepped back. Sigh! At the same time, red blood splashed onto his shoulder. There was a sharp cut on the skin exposed under the shirt.
“I have a good feeling.”
The old man widened his eyes. He seemed to be asking me if I had avoided this. Ronan gritted his teeth. If he had pulled away a moment later, his arm would have been cut off.
“Oh my, Ronan.”
Schlieffen urgently stretched out his hand. The sword in the old man’s hand transformed into the form of wind and disappeared. When he saw the sword hilt in Schlieffen’s hand again, he laughed.
“her. “It’s an amazing ability.”
“Nimi, can you be a magician?”
Ronan spat on the floor and growled lowly. It was only for a moment, but I missed the move. Schlieffen quickly raised his sword and took a fighting stance. The old man looked at the two people in turn and opened his mouth.
“This is Archbishop Alon Mondrey of Nebula Clazier. “Let your indulgence end here.”
